TAKE A PAPER.

Nothing prevents sadder COM
mentary upon the present condition
of society than the large number of
females, both in town and country,
but more especially in the latter, that
subscribe for no paper OF any kind
Hundreds and thousands Of families
are thus growing up utterly ignorant
OF what is transpiring in the world
around them-ignorant of the NIGH
ty events Of the day. But who can
tell the vast amount of injury that
is inflicted on the rising generation
those who are to take our
place in the busy world at no
distant day-growing up without any
knowledge of the present or the past;
this ignorance, too, being imbued in-
to them by the sanction of those who
should, and doubtless do, know better
did they only think of the injurious
effects of their insane course. Lei
the head of every family think of this
and place in the hands of those foI
whom he is responsible the means oI
acquiring some know g lge of the NOV
ing panorama in which we act ON

The following scene, which occurred
at the jail the other day, will show the
great respect which boss" thief

after this style:
Sheriff-What Is this prisoner
charged with?
Jailer-Petty larceny, sir.
Sheriff-Well, run into one Of these
opper cells. What is this man
charged with?
Jailer Gn a whisper)-This is Won
Hollen, big thief; stole over 100000
from the city; great friend Of,

Sheritf-Oh yes. How do you do,
Mr. Won Hollen? Sorry we have
not a better room to offer you, sir;
but if you will try and make yourself

TEXTBOOKS.
YANKEEDoM SCHOOLING IT'S CHILDREN
Ia w IN LIES AND IIBELs.

I; The public schools of Yankeedom
have been metamorphosed into NIGH
ty engines for the spread of Radical
hates and Radical heresies. The text
books used in that part of this Part
nership of States, fairly bristle and
stink with lies and libels anent the
South and the Southern people.
Under these circumstances 1t is hieh
ly proper and patriotic that the text
books used in our own institutions of
learning should inculcate the correct
constitutional principles laid down
by Jefferson, Calhoun and Jefferson
Davis, and place the history of this
section in its just light before the
world, in order that the generation
growing up shall be animated by the
same ideas and the same aspirations
that inspired their fathers on the
field Of war. -Okolona Southern
States.
1t is characteristic of the Southern
Democrat to hate free schools, and
hence the Okolona States man is ur-
ged toutter such sentiments.

A MILLIONAIRE ADVERTISER.

Brandreth, the famo1s pill man
who died at Sing Sing few days
ago, left his children-seven daugh-
ters and six sons-pretty we'll off.
His will gives the daughters the
Brandreth House property on Broad
way, which is valued at S400,0 900, and
all the remainder of the estate goes
to his sons, who are to pay his widow
$4,000 year out of it. The pill and
plaster businessris to be carried on as
usual, and this in itself is very large
fortune When Brandreth started
his business be had hardly money
enough to pay daily expenses, but he
believed strongly in advertising, went
into it as largely MS he could, and fl
nally became "a millionaire by virtue
of it. The regular doctors fought
him long time, but found at lust
that they could not fight him down,
and then they gave it up. His pills
went all over the world, and the
money came rolling in upon him so
fast that he could hardly use it all,
and it still pouls in the same way.
Attic beginning he had no expecta-
tion OF making more than good
living, but the sales of the pills kept
rising year by year and be grew rich
as fast as a few lucky men have done
in Wall Street. He built splendid
country home at Sing Sing, spent
money freely in the village, and be-
came so popular that when his fun
eral took place few days ago almost
every resident of the place was in
the procession that followed the
hearse. Some very rich men 60 to
Ithtir graves without regret among
the poor but it was not so with
Brandreth. He had been good friend
to the poor, and of all the people in
and around Sing Sing, and when he
died they all felt that they had lost a
benefactor.

cooking him so IS to make a good
dish is as follows: Many agood hus-
band is spoiled in cooking. Some
women keep them constantly in hot
water, while others freeze them with
conjugal GOODNESS; some smother
them with hatred and contention,
and still others keep them in pickle
all their lives. These women always
serve them up with tongue sauce.
Now, it is not to be supposed that hus-
bands will be tender and good if
treated this way, but they are on the
contrary, very delicious. when man

all good housewives have on handy.

him near the fire Of conjugal love,
let the fire be pretty hot, especially
let it be clear; above all let the heat
be constant; cover him over with af-
fection; garnish him over with the
spice of pleasantly, and if you add
kisses and other confections, let them
be accompanied with sufficient
portion of secrecy, mixed with pru-
dence and moderation.

DO ANIMALS RESIST TEMPTATION?

Temptation frequently begets in
the dog, cat and other animals the
saine Kind Of mental ormoral agita-
ton aud the same sort OF result, as
in a man. Sometimes we can see
in the dog, for instance--the whole
play Of the animals mind the battle
between its virtuous and vicious pro-
pensities, its promptings to the right
and its endeavors to stick by the right,
its lougings for the wrong-for the
tit-bit, which it knows It would be
improper to steal and the final tri-
umph Of either virtue or temptation.
The poor animal, knowing or feeling
the weakness of the flesh, sometimes
has the moral strength, the force Of
character, the good sense, to avoid
temptation altogether. But the dog,
like men, are apt to have the most
trying temptations thrust unexpec-
tedly upon them, and then comes
the tug of war of the appetites and
passions-the more turmoil that may
make shipwreck Of or that may
strengthen virtue. Sometimes, then
by the dog, as by the man, tempta.
tion is successfully resisted after per-
haps series OF protracted and pain
full moral struggles that have been
very apparent to the onlooker. Un-
fortunately, however, equally in dog
and man, the resistance of temptation
is less common by far than non-re-
siStance or non-success in resistance
the result of which in various forms
or degrees of wrong doing. Elk.

REGENT FAMlhES.

\
Famines like that which is now de-
Stating Ireland have been lamen-
tably frequent in the last few years
In 1869 absolute starvation prevailed
for several months throughout Fin
land, and along the Baltic seaboard
aggravated by u frost Of unexampli-
fled severity, which destroyed hun
dreds of those who made for the
towns in quest of relief. In 1871, a
yet more terrible famine decimated
the population Of Northwestern
China, many of the sufferers being
driven to gnaw the bark from the
trees, and even to devour the bodies
of the dead. Similar horrors were
enacted on a smaller scale in Eastern
Russia during the great drought of
1878. The failure of the Bengal
rice crop at the close of that yeal
swept away, during the early months
of that year, at least 100000 lives
The dearth in Bulgaria in 1876, and
that in Cashmere twelve month
ago, are still fresh in public memory
while the present year has been ush
cred in by three distinct famines--ill
Ireland, in Silesia and in the Persian
province of Seistan.
