A Romance of the Revolution.

At the outbreak of the war, Capt. Charles
Ross, whose regiment was then stationed 10
a provincial town of England, was secretly
engaged to young lady Of the place. But
her family had other plans for the promising
girl, and, having bestowed upon her a remark
able education, they strenuously opposed the
young officers desires. His regiment was
soon ordered to America, and he was forced
to leave without communicating with his be-
trothed. Long, silent weeks Of anxiety fol-
lowed, till the girl suddenly fed from her
home, and escaped to America disguised in
male attire. Here she learned that her
lovers regiment was far inland, actively en-.
gagged in the war. She Immediately set
forth upon a foot-journey of hundreds OF
miles through country filled with rapine
and slaughter. After long time she began
to get definite iniormation-she learned the
very station the troops occupied. With
lighter heart. without one doubt Of her
lovers constancy, she sped on, cheered by
the hope of happy ending. As she drew
near the station she heard the crack Of rifles
in the woods, and the fearful yell Of the saw.
ages. Ere she reached the spot all was still !;
the battle was DONE But still pressing on,
she came suddenly upon the scene, and her
eyes at once fell upon the body of an officer
stretched across the roots Of tree. She
went to him with trembling heart she turned

she had studied in England, assured her
that the poison was wholly extracted. Then
she nursed him with skill aud tenderness.
Tho officer had no suspicion of his faithful
attendant. She had previously dyed her
skin with lime and bark, and her disguise
was impenetrable. The station had been
destroyed-thers was no means OF convey
ance, and the officer was yet too weak to
walk. For six weeks this brave woman
nursed the invalid, attending to his every
want, supplying his food from the catch of
her hands, with only the shelter Of bOughs
which her frail hands could erect They
were weary weeks to him, but to her they
brought the greatest joy Of her young lie.
She still kept her secret from her lover. As
he grew stronger, he would often talk Of his
past history, and finally told his attendant
the whole story Of his unhappy love. He
charged his nurse to seek out the lady,
should he return to England, and tell her of
her lovers cOnstanoy to the last. Should
death follow the wound, the nurse was

cred it to the loved one. What excess Of
joy filled the girls bosom as she listened
daily to such words as these Aud God at
last blessed her devotion and her love. As
the captain regained strength, they set out
slowly for some settlement. After few
days they reached Philadelphia. Then the
nurse revealed herself to her lover, aud an
immediate marriage crowned a constancy
and devotion unsurpassed in the history Of
love.

actuated by sense Of duty and not by pas
sion or caprice, he will profit both by the
parents example and the chastisoment Ac-
tions speak louder than words, or even tho
rod itself. A good example placed before a
child will produce deeper and more lasting
impressions on his mind, than a hundred
stripes on his back. The parent is the first
book studied by the child, and every look
word or action, is lesson from this book
and copy for imitation. He, then, who
would govern well his household must govern

Wayside Thoughts.

Most of LIES way may be rough and
thorny, yet the reward is always in proper
tion to the roughness endured aud amount of
labor done. If great trials and temptations
are overcome great rewards will be given
at.liles close.
One hope strengthens another as small
waves strengthen and grow into larger ones.
You cannot drive a man down to perdition !;
but you may coax him to barter his soul for
a sixpsnce, showing that the mental force is
often stronger in certain directions than the
physical for the man you could not compel to
enter liquor saloon may be coaxed to enter
in aud in time ruin soul and body. How all
important then that our influence be on the
right side.
Is there an honest man who will not sell
honor, position, soul aud all for gold ? When
such questions are asked it argues not worry
favorably for a nations standing. We often
place dark border around our earthly joys
ourselves, and charge the blame to God,
when he is striving all the while to have us
get over and out OF the dark border into his
glorious sunlight.
Wisdom warns mem Of danger by point
ing it out in time. Folly says nothing Of
danger till the precipice is reached, then
leaves its victim to fall over. G.. S.

Training of Children.

"Train up child In the way no should 20 and when
he Is old he will not depart from it,"
This aud many other sayings, with regard
to the training Of the children, is supposed to
have been uttered by the wisest man that ever
lived, the sum and substance of which means !;
you "spare the rod and you spoil the child"
We all know that parents were more strict with
their children years ago; or in an early age
Of the world than they are at the present
time. As to whether that has anything to
do with the present generation of thankless
children or not we will not now attempt to
decide. We have a good many modern
Solomons in these days; not all confined to
one gender, however. There are women, as
well as men, that feel in every atom of their
being that they are in duty bound to give
you their advice gratis. Some will forever
raise the cry, "it's all in bringing up" 1t
usually happens that this class have never
had the task to perform. Some of US have
lived to see children that had the very best
training, both by precept and example, moth
ing left undone so far as the human eyes
could view, to make them respectable mem
bers OF society, and useful in the world we
have seen these very children 60 so far
astray as to bring down their doting parents
in sorrow to their graves, while others
left to the cold charities Of the world, have
made some of the best men and women we
have. We say IT'S not all in the bringing
up, let people say what they will.
You may silver wash pewter cup, it will
be pewter still. Then again, neglect may
dim silver cup, it will be silver still We
often get long prosy article on the correct
training of children, from some ofthoso "Sol-
omODs," that is all bosh. Well do those of
us that ever had the duty assigned us know
that we find such difference in dispositions,
that the course of discipline suited to one, is
all wrong for another. Children, like adults,
are possessed Of the carnal mind they are
often thoughtless and Maynard, aud do that

aud excite his passion. 1t is not always the
case that parents have time for mature
deliberation, immediate action is often neces-
sary, Then how much need OF governing
self first. II is an axiom in the science of
government that he who cannot govern him
self is not fit to govern others. We are
taught by inspiration that che who ruleth
his own spirit, is better than he who ruleth
a city" Self government then, will enable
him at all times aud under all circumstances
to be calm. aud act with prudence and dis
erection. 1t will enable him, when duty aud
the good of the child requires it, to use the
rod, within the limits OF justice and proprie-
ty, If the child sees the parent calm and
collected, under prOyOcatiOn, if no sees him
