BE KIND AT HOME.

Be kind in thy household,
Be CHEEKY and bright;
There's beauty in kindness
That beams like the light.
Be patient and loving
Whatever may come,
For the sake of the dear ones
Be kind in thy home.
To the wife of thy bosom,
Oft numbered with care,
Be tender and thoughtful,
Each burden to share.
Be gen'rous and noble,
With sympathy meet
And hallow with kindness
A union so sweet.
Be kind to the children,
Nor check the fresh love
That would make them as angels,
Glad gifts from above.
Their young hearts are tender,
Sad tears may quick come,
Provoke not by i'll temper
The dear ones at home.
To all in the household,
TO greatest and least.
To the persons that serve thee,
TO toil-weary beast,
Be forbearing and gentle,
Be CHEEKY and bright;
There's beauty in kindness
That beams like the light.

Sinedee.

Mr.. Christian X. Ross, the father of
the lost Charley, received not long
since an offer from an intelligent and
apparently honest old Pennsylvania
farmer to find his lost boy for him by
means of si1aedee, which he declared is
mysterious power to see past and
future events in a bottle, which the in
terlocutor must hold over running
water, while the seer stands on the other
side. The power, he said, is possessed
only by persons born in the season of
advent. - 3D. >
Mr.. Ross states that scarcely week
passes in which he does not receive
similar superstitious offers, made ap-
parently in good faith, from persons
claiming to possess supernatural power.
We are apt to speak of superstition
as belonging to "old times" but the
truth is that it assumes more frequent
and varied forms among Americans than
any of us would like to acknowledge.
In the farming districts of the Middle
and Southern States there is supposed
by many people to be supernatural
cure for almost every disease. The more
ludicrous they are, the more positive is
the faith of the ignorant in them.
