Blunt but TTue.

There is said to be a young man in the
Missouri penitentiary, whose parents at
death, left him a fortune of S5O,OOO
There is where his parents made a fatal
mistake. If they had taken the pre-
caution to invest the sum in a small dog,
and shot him, and then simply left the
young man a jack-plane or a wood-saw,
with printed directions how to use them,
the chances are that instead of being in
the penitentiary, he would to-day
have been gradually but surely working
up to a handsome competency, an
honorable and an old age. But ever
since the day of Adam and Eve, parents
have made it a point to toll and struggle
all their lives in order to realize a suf-
ficient sum of money to purchase, when
they are dead and gone, their sons each
a first class through ticket to the devil ;
and it is not much to be wondered at that
so many of their sons, reared in vice
and idleness, as too many of them often
are, have no higher ambition than to in
vest their inheritance in just that sort Of
transportation.

and the fairest girls, as well as boys,
had gone down under the curse of
the nation. The convention then
took a recess.
Mrs. Wittemeyer, the President,
read her annual address, referring
to the past work and the, Crusade,
and giving a brief summary Of the
good arising therefrom. She then
| gave statistics in regard to the use
of liquor. Its use for cooking pur-
poses had been reduced three fOurths,
and for medicinal purposes and as a
tonic two-thirds. The Medical As
sociations, she said, are helping the
Union. She urged that the vast in
fuence of the press be brought to
bear. Scientific Temperance books
were recommended as textbooks for
schools and colleges, and the good
work done for the cause by the dis
tribution Of Temperance tracts fully
set forth. She advised social recog-
milton on the part of the Committee
of the Young Ladies Temperance
Leagues, and congratulated the IN
ion on the passage of a law in Penn
sylvania, prohibiting, the employment
Of women in saloons.
Mrs McLeOd's poem, the re-
sponse Of Mrs. Mary Lathrop, as
well as Mrs. Wittenmyer's annual
address to the Convention, will be
given in future numbers of the
News.
It would be difficult to convey to
the minds of those not present, a
proper conception of the interest of
a Jfoe days council Of so many
,0ome,1, from all parts of the United
States, and also Canada and Scotland,
and no less difficult would it be, to
portray in detail the graceful, gener-
GUS hospitality Of the Baltimore
ladies, and the courteous, respectful
Difference Of the gentlemen of that
conservative city, who seemed fully
to appreciate the merits of our ef-
forts in the cause of Temperance.

Home Conversational Training.

There Is no nation more fluent IN con-
versation than the American. The
French are more voluble, perhaps, their
language permitting greater Tapidity of
pronunciation than English. Our best
COnversationalists are not rapid takers.
One trouble with us is, each one likes to
o all the talking, therefore Americans
are not good listeners. But mere talking
is not conversation. In almost all home
circles there Is much talking done during
the day, but we fear there are few who
do not reserve their most brilliant con-
versatiOnal powers for other assemblages
than the home group. Many a father
comes home tired; he has worked hard
and talked a great deal, told amusing
anecdotes, and displayed much wit. He
has come home to rest. He takes out
his paper, and is soon obGvious to every
thing around him. Wife would like to
tell him many of the harassing Affections
of the day, and would like to hear some
Of his Interesting experiences, but if he
were a deaf mute he could not be more
silent, only an occasional grunt answer
ing her many attempts at conversation /;
and the children, except the goodnight
kiss, and often not even that, are not

of wealth or otherwise, cannot be a
healthy and happy one. As a parallel,
draw around the evening lamp of an
other home circle. The father tells
the anecdotes from the papers as he reads
them; mother laughs her sweet, low
laugh, and the children burst into merry
hal ha'sl To watch them as they ask
questions, and listen to the answers and
patient explanations, the wonderment,
interest, and thought imprinted on their
young faces, is a picture for an artist
This home education is a heritage more
valuable than land or money; and one
beautiful recompense in life is, that in
making others happy we bring happiness
to ourselves. Parents who practice self
denial, and endeavor by cheerful CONVEX
satiOn and playful wit, to enliven home
life, will reap a rich reward in the better
thoughts and nObler actions of their
children, and will experience the truest
and best Contentment themselves.-Ba Bali

Fidelity.

Never forsake a friend. When enemies
gather around, when sickness falls upon
the heart, when the world is dark and
Cheerless is the time to try true friend
ship. The heart that has been touched
with true gold will redOuble its efforts
when the friend is sad and in trouble.
Adversely tries real friendship. They
who run from the scene Of distress betray
their hypOcriCy and prove that interest
only moves them. If you have a friend
that loves you, who has studied your in
terest and happiness, be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his
former kindness is appreciated and that
his love was not thrown away. Real
fidelity may be rare, but it exists in the
human heart. Who has not seen and
felt its power? They only deny its
worth and power who never loved a
friend or labOred to make a friend happy.
The good and the kind, the affectionate
and the virtuOus see and feel the heavenly
principle. They would sacrifice wealth
and all but honor to promote the happi-
ness of others, and in return they would
receive the reward of their love by SYM
pathizing hearts and doubled 'favors
when they have been brought low by
disease or adversity.

Symptoms ofaDiseasedLiver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient IS rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm, The
stomach IS affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
satiOn Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough IS sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he Is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fordtude
enough to try It. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
