Mothers Are the Real Teachers.

They haze in their hands the
moral guidance of their boys till
the latter are at least twelve years
old, and of their daughters till the
latter marry. If mothers do their
duty, their sons, in all but excep-
tional cases, will grow up good and
honorable men. It is because lads
are not taught at home, and taught
by example as well as precept,
what is noble and right, that they so
often 90 astray. But even if there
is some excuse for a son not turn
ing out we'll, there is hardly any in
the case of a daughter. Bring up
the girl to be a good wife and mo,h-
er; give her the solid requirements
that will enable her to fill those po-
sitions properly, and she viii make
herself and others happy. But de
vote too much time to mere accom-
plishments, and you render her
vain and frivolous. OF course. a
girl ought to know how to attract,
as well as how to keep; how to win
love as well as how TO retain it. Do
not, therefore, make her too prOsaic
But Oh the other hand, remember
that accomplishments are not every

Selections.
State Credit

There is a question before the
people of Tennessee, paramount in
importance to all other questions.
This question was presented to the
people Of the State in the last can
vass, when the good people by uni
versaI acclaim announced that the
debts of the State should be paid
BY such action they vindicated the
reputation of the State, and the JUS
tice and honor OF her people. Again
the question is propounded and
brought prominently before the
people for their solution. What
will be the answer is already an
nounced. Tennessee has too much
appreciation of the high esteem in
which she is held by her sisters and
all the world, to yield to the seduc-
tive influences of the demagOgue
who would rise to prominence and
place on the reimbursement of a
dishonored people. Our revenue
annually amounts, now, to nearly
two millions OF dollars, we have hid
den treasures in our mountains the
value of which figures cannot com
puse, our resources are boundless
and before another decade passes,
we, rs well as the balance of man
kind, will be astonished, at the
wealth of our State, with this gor-
geous future before her, dare she
blight her good name by the hui
initiation ofrepudiating an acknowl-
edged Indebtedness. Reputation
will destroy her character and good
name, her influence in the national
councils, her credit will be gone,
and her people will, individually,
loose the confidence of the trade
communities, and will have to suf-
fer consequences not now dreamed
Of We are, however, confident that
the shafts of calumny will never
Through repudiation) be hurled at
the noble crest of the Volunteer

OF course, this Is not the only
transaction of the kind in which Mr..
Belknap has been engaged; it is
merely a specimen, a single product
OF a system which has borne multi
farious and continual fruit. This
man, detected and crushed, is driven
out, resigns, is impeached, and either
escapes or endures the punishment
of his crimes. The people are
shocked by the revelation-by the
positive proof of what has so long
been suspected and believed. 1t is
indeed a shocking, a revolving exhi
bition. In the Centennial year of
the republic our great enterprise OF
free. popular government results in
the sale of offices by one of our very
highest functionasies, and in the
payment of brides to the wife of this
rotten official. If such is our con
dition at the end of the first century,
what viii it be at the end of the sec
ond? We-may wei. hang our heads
with shame before other nations

bers, pickpockets, mere ordinary

There seems to be an evil in
huence operating upon the females
in Washington, developing with
other bad qualities the true spirit
Of mother Eve to an alarming ex-
tent; and the men, Adam-like, have
not failed to be tempted. Vanity
and pride have been the ruin of
many women, and caused Them to
do many strange and daring things,
but these leaders of the ton at the
capitol are astonishing the nation
with their audacity in making use
Of the Presidents cabinet to graft
fy their pride and ambition. Now
that the investigation has begun 1
suppose it will be carried through
to Mrs. Grant; and what if the
President himself, with his pets, be
found guilty of being guided by a
woman's hand in the wrong direc-
ton. Well, after all ofman' 5 deris-
ion and contempt of woman's rule,
they are gaining the ascendency very
rapidly. The men are very ready
to be lead when going the wrong

were willing to lead wrong, so both
have landed in the pitfall Of their
own invention. The very atmos
phere of Washington is becoming
so corrupt that an honest man or
woman will be afraid to breathe
it, lest its fetid poison be inhaled,
and make them as impure as the

There is a great deal of truth IN.

There is a great deal oftruth en-
braeed in the following extract,
written by a correspondent Of the
Louisville Christian Observer:
at is easy to see that the love of
money is corrupting the very foun-
tain of morals in our country, and
leading thousands from the path of
rectitude. It is hard to be strictly
honest and atthe same time crafty
his all absorbing love of wealth.
Hence the failures that have
taken place in our financial circles,
and the defalcations among our Of
fcers, and to whom the keeping of
the public money has been commit
ted. Embezzlement is the order of
the day, and it is time that we
should try to discover some remedy
for this general want of honesty and
uprightness, which is so much to he
deplored. People seem to have
found out that they cannot make
money fast enough by honest
means, and they have evidently de-
terlnined to see what can be done
by fraud, falsehood and deception
of every kind.
Instead Of paying cash for what
they buy, many go in debt for all
the necessaries o: life, and when a
debt is once contracted, they never
think of paying i until they are
Obliged to do so. If they can take
the benefit of the bankrupt act, or
make over their properly to some
friend, so as to keep it out of the
hands of the sheriff, they will cheat
their creditors out of every cent
that is justly due to them, This
state OF things is alarming, and
there is evidently no remedy for 1t
except returning to palmer and less
expensive way of living, and ban
ishing the credit system entirely
from the land. That is the fruitful
source of our financial troubles. Ii
farmers and mechanics, if men OF
every class and calling would re
solve to make their money before
they spend it, and not go in debt
for any superhuous article of cloth
ing or house hold furniture, we
would soon become an independent
and self supporting community, and
make the discovery that man may
be poor,and yet command the respect
Of his neighbours; that he may be
frugal, industrious and economical
without losing his standing in so
ciety; in a word, that he may be
happy without being rich, but with
conscious rectitude on his side, he
may in very humble circumstances,
look with pity and contempt upon
those who are engaged, with wild
excitement, IN the Improbable and
Ruthless search after wealth.
Happiness is in the golden medi-
ocrity. As soon as men become
convinced of that fact, they will be
content with the condition in which
Providence has placed them, with
out seeking after honors which are
beyond their reach, or pleasures
that have only an imaginary charm
about them. 1t is better to be poor
and honest than to gain wealth by
dishonest and disreputable means.
That precept ought to be deeply
engraved in the hearts of young
men, and the idea that poverty is a
disgrace ought to be discarded for
ever. 1t should never he looked
upon in that light, unless it has
been oecasioned by reckless extrav
agance or inexcusable idleness."
