By all accounts Marshall and Gov. Manteuf- fePs first impressions of Metz cannot have been very agreeable. On the day of his for nal entry, the streets were almost deserted. The few persons out of doors turned their backs to the procession and studied the shop windows. The silence was broken only by an occasional cry of ''Vive la France |" At his hotel, the Marshal found great pile of letters that were anything but pleasant reading. He invited the municipal authorities to dinner; only one man, banker, presented himself. No wonder the Marshal lost his temper, tap ped his sword, and warned the Metz officials that he would not tolerate any intriguing with the foreigner against Germany.

Mrs Howe asked John Clancy what she had better do with $1, 900 in gold coin. He strongly advised her to bury it in her cellar. She did so. Soon afterward, on looking to see if the treasure was safe, she found that it had been stolen Having intrusted the se- cret to nobody except Clancy, she naturally charged him with being the thief but there was no .convicting proof against him. This happened at Lewiston, Me, fifteen years ago.
 Last week Clancy lay on his death bed With his last breath he gasped: ''Dig in my cellar you'll ind pot of gold" His directions were followed, and Mrs. Howe's gold came to light.

Quiet Children.

It is natural for children to be noisy
when they are having good time, and
they come to associate noise with jollity.
One of the traditions of the nursery is
that men who do much in the world,
and show great energy and power of
work, were boisterous and hard to
manage in their boyhood. But it may
bring hope to mothers of quiet child
rem, and suggest to those who have
rough, rude boys the expediency of
curbing them, to know that such tradi-
tons can't be trusted.
John and Charles Wesley founded
the great Methodist denomination in
England, and had enough energy in
them to supply half-dozen common
men. But their boyhood was noted for
quietness. Mrs. Wesley, their mother,
was remarkable woman, and resolute
in her purpose to allow no noise in the
family. She was often both nursery
maid and teacher, and though she had
nineteen children, and they were edu-
Gated at home, the mother so ruled as
to keep them quiet and in order. They
were not allowed to cry in infancy, nor
to be noisy in later years. Her neigh
bors used to say, in wonder: 3Nobody
would know that there was child in
the house. How does she do it?"

The DAYS of 1861.

The North american Review for
July does an important historical SER
vice by the publication Of extracts from
the diary of public man in Wash
ington" at the opening of the war.
The extracts, which appear to be from
the record of man having access to
the leaders of the day, North and South,
but not one whose own opinion on af-
fairs was of vital importance, has it's
chief interest from the graphic picture
it gives of the hesitation on both sides
in beginning hostilities. The facts
given make it plain that the opening of
the war was not planned, but came by
the pressure of events. The final blow,
the firing on Sumter, might have been
even longer delayed if Mr.. Seward had
not finally allowed word to go South
that the garrison was to be revictualed.
AS it was, the account given in this
diary Of Stewards easy optimism, his
frank and cordial social relations with
Southern men, the unavailing struggle
of the Commissioners from South Car
DINA to act as foreign ENJOYS at Wash
ington when everybody insisted on
treating them as there on little visit,
and the utter imbeciity of President
Buchanan, who broke faith with equal
impartiality with his Cabinet, the South
and the North-all speak time when
strong man using small events would
have deferred the conflict between the
two sections. It is noticeable that the
claim of Gen. Doubleday, then Cap
tain, that he planned the removal to
Sumter from Fort Moultrie is corrob-
grated in this diary. It is there attrib-
uted to Senator Ben Wade's advice.
An incident of curious interest in the
diary is the outline of an impossible
plan of Wigfall's to kidnap Buchanan
and make Breckenridge President, as if
anybody could have been better than
Buchanan for the South. The suggest
i've fact is recorded that all the sharp
lawyers-Cushing, Benjamin and the
thought that the "old constitu-
tion of '89 had outlived it's usefulness"

SENTIMENT AND SENSE.

DEFER not charities till death.
LET no jest intrude upon good man
ners.
The best fire does not flare up the
soonest.
The wild oats of youth change into
the briars of manhood.
WE hand folks over to Gods mercy
but show none ourselves.
KINDNESS is the golden chain by
which society is held together.
A MANS own safety is god that some
times makes very grim commands.
POVERTY is in want of much, but av-
arlce demands everything it has not.
AMBITION thinks no face so beautiful
as that which looks from under crown.
The tale of divine pity was never yet
believed from lips that were not felt to
be moved by human pity. +a~ ~e.
FRIENDSHIPS begin with liking or
gratitude-roots that can be pulled up.
The mother love begins deeper down.
BE on good terms with your own soul,
and treat your body with all the respect
and reverence that are due the temple
of the soul. t.. .-.........l...
BETTER wrong will than wavering
better steadfast enemy than an un-
certain friend; better false belief than
no belief at ALL f I .+o9a
For the chief source of peace we all
look higher-far above the tree-tops,
the mountains and the bright sailing
clouds-far above earth-even to heav-

SOME lives, like flowers, are fair, but
not fragrant. We love to look at them,
but do not care to hold them. Others,
then, are sweet, gladdening, but with
less outward perfection, yet we would
have them near us always. -r5t i
The truly beautiful and good are
those who pursue the paths of virtue
and justice for the mere love of these
attributes, and not because of the merit
that attaches to such life, or expect
ing to reap favors and rewards there
from. r..,
MEN plant the grain and timber of
everyday life with their strong hands,
which God made for that purpose.
Women fill in the hollows and crevices
and swelling banks with flowers, ferns,
and delicate shade trees, which make
the vigorous work of the strong hand
beautiful. .f.... 49,.

Chemicals i'm the Household.

It is surprising, considering how
many women have been instructed in
chemistry in school-days, to find how
few housekeepers make any use of
chemicals in various household pro-
cesses. Especially is this the case in
cleansing processes. The washing of
clothes is usually wholly accomplished
by rubbing the clothes on the wash
board, and with no other detergent
than soap. The rubbing of the clothes
wears them out far more than use. and,
if housekeepers only knew, or, if know
ing, they would take advantage of the
fact, that many washing compounds
will almost entirely cleanse clothes
which are soaked in them over night,
and thus almost entirely do away with
the labor and wear of the washboard,
wash-day might be robbed of half it's
terrors. Recipes for washing fluids, the
principal ingredients of which are soda,
ash, ammonia and lime, can be found in
nearly every household recipe book,
and they are very cheap and harmless.
All such washing compounds are useful
and convenient for cleaning woodwork,
paints and carpets in a house; also
in washing dishes and securing that
desideratum of housekeepers-
dish-cloths. Ammonia is a simple,
cheap and harmless chemical, and
should be bought by the quart and
kept in every family. A few drops
added to water will cleanse children's
hair and make it soft and sweet; it is
an admirable disinfectant to remove the
odor of perspiration; it will remove
grease spots from clothing, and often
restore color to stains. Its common
and frequent use cannot be too fire.
quently urged. Borax is another chem
ical that should find common use in
every family. For cleansing teeth and
sweetening the breath a few grains of
the powder in water are unexcelled. It
also softens and whitens fannels.
Salicylic acid is perfectly odorless
and harmless, yet powerful, disinfectant,
and for many disinfecting uses in the
household is invaluable. 1t is very
cheap and convenient in form. In
these days, when to stay various forms
of disease is so important, mothers and
housekeepers would do well to give
study and thought to these things, and
to try to make their knowledge of
science practical. It is very encourag-
ing to note how many women are at
present turning their attention to
studies in general and applied science.
Let us have it's benefits exemplfed in
the household.

looked and saw the glancing wire,
The little voices came from it,
And up and down, and higher and higher,
They seemed to dance and speed and fit,
AS birds might do in summer boughs,
Rejoicing in their fair, green house.
Happy, SO happy were the tones,
AS happy hearts were speaking there,
And holding, like the blessed ones,
Communion in the upper air;
Sharing the JOY might not see,
sat and listened smilingly.
Then silence fell; and then sigh,
Heavy, as burdened with all pain;
And, next, wall OF agony
Rang overhead; and then again
Silence. And then chuckling laugh,
Borne all along the telegraph.
Startled at that wild sound, I fed;
But turned me in my swift escape,
And, in the dusk above my head,
One and another tiny shape
saw-a row of sleeping things,
With heads safe tucked beneath their wings.
Yes, there they perched in downy rest,
All peacefully and hushed and still;
While, fast beneath each feathered breast,
Pulsed the quick throb of human ill
The laugh of Joy, the wall of woe
And not bird awoke to know.

Science with birds has naught akin
Nor stretches nets from tree to tree
Which evil news may harbor in
Wires to speed sorrow on its way.

Maiden with the ripping hair,
Laughing eyes and tripping feet,

And which silent yet doth speak
Thoughts which glow like sunset flush?
