How touching is the tribute Of Hon.
Thomas Ii. Benton to his mothers in
fuence; My mother asked me never
to use tobacco | never touched it from
that time to the present day. She asked
me never to gamble and | never have
gambled; | cannot tell who are losing
IN games that are being played. She
admonlshed me, too, against hard drink
ing; and whatever capacity for endur-
anee L have at present, and whatever
usefulness | have, | attribute to having
complied with her pious and correct
wishes. When | was seven wears of
age she asked me not to drink, and then
L made resolution of total abstinence;
and that | have adhered to it through
all time, | owe to my mother.

BE Careful What you Say.

In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own
Remember, those in homes of glass,
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
lis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not
The old as well as young ;
Perhaps we may for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
III tell you of better plan,
And find it works full well
10 try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell;
And though | sometimes hope to be
M worse than some | know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let US all. when we begin,
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember. curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens, 'roost at home;"
Don't speak of 9th ers' faults until
We have none of our own.

A Sad Reflection
Words from the Wind.

Words from the Wind.
Who is the foe of all virtue,
Who is the chieftain of crime?
Who blaekens the forehead of beauty
And eheateth the finger of time?
Who maketh the heart to be aged,
In the beautiful morning of youth?
Who is the herald of sorrow,
And who the assassin of TRUTH
And the wind Of the wild winter answered.
In a voice like clarion call
lis beast-lion. headed, demon
Whom men ehristen King Alcohol"
All. this is the foe of all virtue,
And this is the agent of death

ROBERT WHALEN.

Robert Whaley is sixteen hands high and
weighs one thousand three hundred pounds
and was foaled April 81, 1871. His SIRE is
Nighthawk dam, Brown Jane, by young Clifford
Morgan, better known as the Guernsey horse,
and owned at one time by Robert Whaley, of
Lima, Livingston County, N. Y. Her dam by
w. Wordsworth's Old Henry CLAY her grand
dam unknown; by her fine form and blood-like
appearance, was supposed to be OF the Messen-
ger tribe. Brown Jane took the first premium
over all breeds in the class OF brood mares. at
the National Horse Show, at Kalamazoo, in the
fall OF 1867, the only time she has been shown
for premium in this state. Robert Whaley
has taken first premium at the State Fair every
time he has been shown in the class OF Road
sters and Trotters. Now / don't propose to
bore the horsemen and breeders with a long
pedigree, nor with what bis sire and dam have
done, as they are all three here to be seen and
Judged. Brown Jane is on my farm, and is
twenty-five years old this spring. Any man
that can bring brood mare or her age that can
out trot her can make 1t very interesting and
profitable by calling on me, notwithstanding the
right and left bower OF Lawrence, might tell
him differently. ALI l ask of the farmers and
breeders Of horees in this vicinity is to watch
closely the performances OF this big young
horse on the track, and TO compare his get with
those of foreign horses and then judge for
themselves, which II is to their interest to use
their home bred horse or those sent out from
home in order to get something to do.
Robert Whaley will make the season Of 1876
April 10, as follows: He may be
found at Paw Paw, on Mondays and Tuesdays
of each week on Wednesdays and Thursdays,
On the farm Of the undersigned, two miles
north aud half mile east OF Lawrence, and on
Fridays and Saturdays at the stables OF s. Jen-
,ines, in Bangor. Twenty dollars the season,
