WHAT SHALL | TEACH MY
SON.

This question is often asked,
and should be made much more
a study for orindividual cases than
it is. The mother Of one OF our
United States senators asked
herself this question, and an
swered is practically for herself
and child. Her child's father
was dissipated, and also his
grandfather. Should she raise
the object of her life's work, in
which was centered all her hopes
for future comfort, in the reck-
less drifting way that many pa
rents do, simply hoping that all
will come out right in the end.
No; she pondered the matter well
In her heart, and labored In sea-
son and out Of season with her
boy in prayer, and taught him
by precept and example the dan,
ger of his Inheritance; that total
abstinence for him was his only
chance foY freedom. Mothers,
fear not to teach and stimulate
your child to shun the tempta-
lion which he cannot overcome.
This man has lived to do his
country great service, and TO
give the personal testimony that
he should never have been able
toresist a drunkard's indulgence,
had he ever allowed himself to
tamper with the wine, cup. But |.
ever in after life, IN times OF
great nervous and physical eX
haustion, at seasons OF the
strongest temptations to indulge
in stimulating drinks for an
emergency, this great and good
man asserts 5ilat nothing could
have saved him but the eager
imploring expressions OF his
mothers face, as she comes IN
vision before him now as she

GRAIN BY GRAIN.

Did you ever know a boy,
when he began to work in earn,
est for a living, who ever had
wages enough3 Somehow Sala-
ries and wants never do keep up
with one another. There are not
many who, like the old philoso-
pher, can walk the streets of a
gay city, and note the tempting
wares set out on either side, and
yet say; "How many things
there are that | don't want"
Yet if you can get a little into
this way of looking at the luXu-
ries of life, it will be a great
help to your peace of mind. And
it is a most singular fact that
most fortunes have been laid on
very small foundations, A great
merchant was accustomed to
tell many clerks that he laid
the foundation of his property
when he chopped wood at twen-
ty-fve cents a cord. Whenever
he was tempted to squander a
quarter, he would say, "There
goes a cord of wood" He learn
ed in very early years a lesson
in practical economy. An old
woman had been seen for many
years hanging about the whahs
where vessels were loaded and
unloaded in New York harbor,
intent on picking up grains OF
coffee, corn rice, etc, that by
chance scattered on the piers.
The other day she was badly
hurt by some heavy bags of
grain falling on her. The kind
merchant took up a purse for
old Rosa, and sent her to her
home in Hobokan, in charge Of
an officer. What was his sur
prise to find that the neat and
handsomely furnished cottage
was the property of the old
grain picker, She had literally
built and furnished it, as the
coral workers do their homes,
grain by grain. Do not be dis
couraged though your profits
are small. If you cannot In
crease the income, the only way
out Of the difficulty is to cut
down the wants. Turn every
claim to the best account, and
as prices go, you will be able to
get a vast amount of comfort out
of even a small income. The
habits that you are forming are
also Of the greatest importance,
and may be made the founda-
tion stones of high prosperity.

Gen. Richard Taylor Died in
the city Of New York, on the
10Th ult. He was a son OF eX-
President Taylor, and brother
in-law of Jefferson Davis. He
commanded an army corps in
the confederate service in 1S64-5,
on Red river, and large por-
ton of the Arkansas troops were
attached to his command. He
sustained the reputation of be-
ing one of the hardest fighting
generals in the army. He fought
and defeated Gen. Banks, at
Pleasant Hill and Mansfield,
Louisiana. Besides his military
genius, he possessed fine literary
abilities, having written several
al books in addition to being a
regular contributor to the North
American Review and other
standard periodicals.

What the country wants is a
candidate who cannot be injur-
ed by investigation of his past
history, so that the enemies Of
the party will be unable to rake
up against him things that no
body ever heard of before. II
you know the most about a can
didate to begin with, every at
tempt to spring things on him
will be check mated. Now | am
going to enter the field with an
open record. l am going to own
up in advance to all the wicked
ness | have done, and if any
congressional committee is sup
posed to prowl around my biog-
raphy, in the hope of finding
any dark and deadly deed
which | secreted, why let it
howl.
In the first place, | admit that
| treed a rheumatic grandfather
of mine in the winter Of 1850.
He was old and ineXpert in
climbing trees; but with a heart
less brutality that is character
istic of me, | ran him out of the
front door in his night-shirt at
the point of a shotgun and
caused him to bowl up a maple
tree, where he remained all
night, while [ emptied shot in
his legs. [ did this because he
snored. I will do it again if |
ever have another grandfather.
| am as inhumane now as I was
in 1850. No rheumatic person
shall snore in my house.
I candidly acknowledge that
| ran away at the battle Of Get
tysburg. My friends have tried
to smooth over this fact by as
serting that | merely got behind
a tree--that | did so for the pur-
pose Of initiating WaShinton,
who went into the woods at Val
ley Forge to say his prayers. I
struck out in a straight line for
the Tropic Of Cancer, simply
because Twas scared. wanted
my country saved, but | prefer
ed that somebody else save her.
| entertain that preference yet.
If the bubble reputation can be
obtained only at the 'cannon's
mouth | am willing to 60 there
for it, provided the cannon is
empty. If it is loaded, my i'm
mortal and inHexible purpose is
to get over the fence and 20
home. My invariable practice
in war has been to bring out Of
any fight two-thirds more men
than [ took in. This seems to
be Napoleanic in its granduer.
My financial views are of the
most decided character, but
they are not likely, perhaps, to
increase my popularity with the
advocates of imitation. | do not
insist upon the special supre1na-
cy Of rag money or hard money.
The great fundamental plinci-
pie Of my life is to take any
kind | can get,
The fumor that | buried a
dead aunt under one of my
grape vines is founded upon
fact. The vines needed fertiIiz-
ing, my aunt had to be buried,
and | dedicated her to this pur-
pose. Does that unfit me for
the presidency The constitu-
tion Of our country does not say
so. No other citizen was ever
considered nworthy Of the Of
flee because he enriched his
grape vines with his relatives.
Why should I be the first vic
tim of an abused prejudice?
I admit also that | am not a
friend to the poor man. / re-
gard the poor man, in his pres
ent condition, as so much wasted
material. Cut up and properly
canned he might be made useful
to fatten the natives of the Can

Remarkable Prophecies.

Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, the authoress
and anti-slavery agitator, is now II years
old, and lives at her old home in Way
land, Mass. In the course of recent
conversation with writer in the Boston
Herald she spoke Of Garrison as firm be-
lever in Spiritualism, and added: SWIFT
tier admits that there is something very
mysterious and unexplained in it. He
told me there was an old Quaker whom
he saw when he was lad, who was re-
nowned for his prophecies. He spoke
often under the influence of the spirit.
Whittier sent me copy Of a prophecy
made by the old man in 1903. It began
by toretelling great split In the church,
which would commence with the Presby-
terians, and it would include the Friends.
We have since seen the Presbyterians d.
vide and the Hicksitc trouble among the
Quakers. Then the old prophet said
he saw great trouble about the slavery
question, which would end in a war and
emancipation. He foresaw finally grand
gathering of the churches into an estab-
lished church, and ruled by it. And he
saw the Society of Friends paying tribute
to the church. And he saw also mill
tary despotism of the country, though
this would only be for while. Now,
this was remarkable prophecy, and all
but the last two statements have been
fulfilled" ~.

WE TWAIN.

Oh, heaven and earth are far apart!
T. But what if they were one.
And neither you nor I, sweetheart,
Had any way misdone?
When we, like laughing rivers feet
That cannot choose but flow,
Among the flowers should meet and gree
Should meet and minele so. -
Sweetheart,
That would be sweet, I know.
To need to swerve and drift apart.
Or any bliss resign:
Then should all be yours, sweetheart.
And you should all be mine.
But alb, to rush defiled and brown,
From thaw and smirched snow,
10 spoil the corn, beat down and drown
The rath, red lilies low
Sweetheart,
do not want you so!
For you and are far apart;
And never may we meet,
Till you are glad and grand, sweetheart,
Till am fair and sweet,
I'LL morning sun has kissed US white
AS highest Alpine snow,
I'LL both are brave and bright of sight
90 wander high or low,
Sweetheart!
For God will have it So
Oh, heaven and earth are far apart!
If you are bound or free,
And if you climb or crawl, sweetheart,
Can no way hinder me.
But see you come in lordly state,
With mountain winds aglow,
When I by dazzling gate shall wait
10 meet and love you so.
Sweetheart!
That will be heaven. I know.

AUTUMN.

The rich autumnal shadows fall:
The first brown leaf wheels slowly down;
And all along the orchard wall
The MOSES gather deeper brown.
Through all the rounded golden hours
NO sound steals in from village street;
Alone the chimes from distant towers
Float hourly through my still retreat.
Across the vale, the rugged hills
Are starting from their summer gloom,
And bursting heather glows and fills
Their skyward curves with purple bloom
Again with Autumn comes the time
Whensyou and would cross the vale,
And reach the mountain foot, and climb
Till stars renew the evening tale.
/ wander still where nature haunts
Her secret places seldom sought;
But even nature something wants
A subtle something, deeply wrought.
And here alone sit, and now
Thy voice is hushed; but those dear eve
That flushed beneath thy brave boy-b
Are haunting me as daylight dies
The sun slopes slowly to his rest,
This soft September afternoon,
Till all the color leaves the west,
And sleeps the world in twilight gloom
Us.
