SENATOR HAMPTON has been dedicating

SENATOR HAMPTON has been dedicating
a soldiers monument in South Carolina
and, as is usual in the south on such oc-
c~asions, unburdening himself of a eulogy
on ''the lost cause" ''The senator ''re-
PEELED with scorn and Indignation" the
imputation that the c~onfederates were
rebels and traitors, and declared that the
war was in no sense a rebellion. He
called earth to witness that the sword
had settled no principle and shed tears of
silent gratitude over the graves of the
heroic defenders of their country" To
say the least, this is very unseemly in a
senator of the United States. Wade
Hampton may delude himself with the
belief that his scorn and indignation over
the charge that rebels are rebels, and
traitors traitors whenever and wher-
ever found, may be grateful to his South
Carolina constituency but he may be GER
tain that such performances as his
Charleston speech will not be received
with much enthusiasm by the rising
generation in the new south. The
larger constituency, which in his capacity
as United States senator, Mr.. Hampton
represents, believes that the war did
settle something. They are anxious and
willing to bury all angry discussion re-
garding a conflict closed more thar
eighteen years ago. They are even dis
posed to grow a little sentimental now
and then over the valor of the mis-
guided men who tried to shoot the Unior
to pieces in order to bulwark human
slavery behind its ruins. But they viii
never admit that a citizen, who died il
arms against the government, is as de
serving of praise as the soldier who Tough
to defend it, nor are they dispose to fal
on their knees and ask the pardon of un
%repentant rebels because they were com
PEELED to whip them into submission t.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.
Hunts Remedy, its Many Merits.

THERE are no diseases more prevalent, with,
perhaps, the exception of Consumption, in this
country than the Kidney and Liver complaints
and to find a remedy that would efectually
lieye them has long been the aim of many af-
fiicted sufferers. Whether our habits as a peo-
pie are conducive to these Diseases or whether
they may result from the popularity of our eli
mate, is beyond our comprehension, and is of
little value since an efiicacious remedy can be
had; but of one thing we are sure, that the long
afflicted public will hail with JOY the specific
which has again and again proved its ability to
eifectually cope with and eradicate these dis
eases. The name Of this medicine is Hunts
Remedy, and 1t is manufactured by the Hunts
Remedy Company Of Providence 1t is not often
that mention Of patent medicine occurs in
these columns; but, when one comes under our
notice possessing such undoubted merits rs the
one of which We speak, we cannot refrain from
giving 1t the credit 1t deserves. 1t cures when
all other remedies fall it acts directly on the
Kidneys, Liver, and Bowels, restoring them all at
once to healthy action. 1t is sure to eradicate
all diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, Urinary
Organs, such as Gravel, Diabetes, Incond-
nence, Retention of the Urine. 1t has wonder
full effect ON Weakness Pain in the Back,
Sides, or Loins, and has proved itself the most
reliable medicine extant for General Debility
Female Diseases, Disturbed Sleep, Loss of Appe-
lite, and all complaints of the urno-Genital
Organs. Its efficacy in cases of that dreadful
scourge and insidlous destroyer Bright's Disease
of the Kidneys, has been remarkable; and, If its
merits rested on its success In coping with that
disease alone, 1t would be worthy OF high rank
public benefactor In all diseases of the Liver,
AS Biliousness, Headache, Dyspepsia, Sour
Stomach, and Costiveness = it quickly induces
that organ to healthy action, and removes the
causes at the same time. 1t Is purely vegetable

eurial or mineral posons, and possesses rare yr-
tues as a remedy for Heart Disease and Rheuma-

A Pointed Tale.

Jack Pringle, according to the Detroit
Free Press is a man who never wastes an
opportunity, or puts off for tomorrow the
joke that can be done to day. Going down
street last Wednesday, he was accosted by
a little nervous man who had an impedi-
ment in his speech. Said the stranger:
"C-can you tell me w-where | can gget
s-s-some t-t-tin t-tacks 2" "With much
pleasure, sir" replied Jack, who realized
the position at once, and having directed
his interlocutor to the shop of a neighboring
ironmonger, by a somewhat circuitous route,
hurried off to the spot by short cut Now,
the ironmonger was having his dinner in
little back parlor; but when Jack entered
the premises he came forward briskly, bow
ing and rubbing his hands together in that
peculiarly servile manner that is character
istic of the British shopkeeper. ado y-you
ssell t-tin t-tacks J." said Jack, assuming a
stammer. "OH, yes, sir certainly, SIR"
"G-g-good long ones 2" "Yes, sir all
sizes, sir" "W-with s-s-sharp points ,"
Yes, sir very sharp points" Ww-well,
then, s-ssit down on 'em, and w-wwait till
c-call again" Having "given his ORDER"
Jack thought it prudent to retire at once,
as there were several heavy articles within
easy access of the proprietor's hands. The
old man had hardly cooled down and re-
turned to his meal, which had also cooled
down unpleasantly, when the I" real Simon
pure" entered the shop, and again the iron
moDger came forth, washing his hands
with invisible soap in imperceptible water"
DO y-you s-sell t-t-tin tacks ?" said the
little man. Luckily the door was open, so

Kindergarten Schools.

The advantages of the kindergarten method
of instruction for young children over the
old system of drudgery with primer and
spelling-book have recently been forcibly
illustrated by statistics gathered by actual
investigation among the smaller children of
the Boston public schools, by DR.. Stanley
Hall. Some of the facts are curious in the
extreme, and might well seem incredible TO
persons not familiar with the conditions un.
der which these children are reared. OF the
children examined, eighteen per cent had
never seen COW, and had no idea of the
animal further than what they had gained
from pictures; sixty-one per cent had never
seen an ant sixty-five per cent never saw
corn growing; twenty-one per cent had
never seen apples on the tree ninety per
cent had no idea where their ribs were, and
many supposed that meat grew ON the meat
tree. A systematic examination Of one
thousand children in Berlin, by the Pedag-
ogic Society in 1869, resulted in gathering
facts similar to those compiled by DR.. Hall.
Home life in the country affords the very
best sort of kindergarten. In doors and
out, the child finds things which catch his
attention, arouse his curiosity and call forth
questions continually. But the city child
has few Of these aids toward practical
knowledge unless artificially supplied, and
this the kindergarten is designed to do. 1t
would be better that a child should play
with Noahs ark than learn to spell COW
ever so readily without any idea Of the
animal resented.-Selected.

The Eiresidf.
THE ROUND OF LIFE.

Two children down by the shining strand,
with eyes as blue "a the summer sea,
while the sinking sun ais all the land
with the glow OF golden mystery
Laughing aloud at the sea-mew'a cry,
Gazing with Joy on its snowy breast,
TIL the frs, star looks from the evening sky
And the amber bars stretch over the west
A soft green dell by the breezy shore
A sailor lad and q maiden fair;
Hand ciasped in hand, while the tale Of yore
IL borne again on the listening air'
For love Ia young, though love be DID,
And love alone the heart can hlli
And the dear old tale that has been told
In the days gone by, spoken STILL
A trim built home on sheltered bay;
wife looking out on the slistenlns sea-
A prayer for the fond one far away,
And praitling imps meath the old roof-treei
A lifted latch and radiant face
BY the opening door in the falling night
A welcome home and a warm embrace
From the love Of his youth and his children bright
An aged man in an old chair;
A golden light from the western sky;
His wife By his side, with her silvered hair,
And the open Book OF God close byi
Sweet on the bay the cleaning falls,
And bright Is the glow OF the evening star,
But dearer to them are the jasper walls
And the golden streets Of the land afar
An old churchyard on green hillside;
Two lying still in their peaceful rest
The nsherman's boats going out W tn the tide
In the fiery glow Of the amber west
Children's laughter and old mems signs,
The night that follows the morning clear;
A rainbow bridging our darkened skiesi
Are the round OF our lives from year to year.

How TO Choose q Wife.

"a place for everything, and everything
In its place." said the patriarch to his daugh-
ter. Select wife, my son, who will never
step over broomstick," is the sage advice
given to the son, and as the story goes he
was obedient to the lesson. "Now," said
he pleasantly, on gay May day, to one OF
his companions, appoint that broomstick
to choose me wife. The young girl who
will not step over it shall have the offer Of
my hand" They passed from the splendid
saloon to the grove; some tumbled over the
broomstick, others jumped over. At length
young lady stopped aud put it in its place.
The promise was fulfilled she b, came the
wife Of an educated and wealthy young
man, and he the husband of a prudent, in.
dustrious, and loving wife.
