Educate Your Daughters.

Give your daughters thorough edu
cation. Teach them TO cook and pre-
pare the food of the household. Teach
them to wash, to iron, to sew oz but
tons, to make their own dresses. Teach
them to make bread, and that a good
Kitchen lessons the doctors account.
Teach them that he only lays up money
whose expenses are less than his income,
and that all grow poor who have to
spend more than they receive. Teach
them that calico dress paid for fits bet
ter than silken one unpaid for. Teach
them that full healthy face displays
greater lustre than fifty consumptive
beauties Teach them to purchase and
see that the account corresponds with
the purchase. Teach them good common
sense, self-trust, self-help and industry.
Teach them that an honest mechanic in
his working clothes is better object Of
esteem than dozen naughty, finely
dressed idlers. Teach them gardening
and the pleasures of nature. Teach
them, if you can afford 1t, music,
printing, etc, but consider them rs sec
ondary objects only. Teach them that
walk is more salutary than a ride in a
carriage. Teach them to reject with
disdaiR all appearances, and to use only
Yes or NO in good earnest. Teach
them that happiness of matrimony de-
pends neither on external appearance
nor on wealth, but on the mans char
acter

Gnnd Advice to Parents.

Always speak in pleasant voice.
Teach your children how to walk /;
how 10 obtain living by their own Ell
fort. Teach them the nobility and
dignity Of labor, that Il ey may respect
and honor the producer.
Teach your children the evil of secret
vice. and the consequences of the use OF
tobacco and spirituous liquors; teach
them to be temperate, orderly, punetual,
truthful, neat, faithful and honest.
Encourage your child TO be careful OF
per Sonal appearance; to return every
tool TO its place; 10 always pay debts
promptly TO never shirk 4 duty to d.
an equal share, and to always live ap to
an agreement.
Teach your children to confide in you
by conference together. Tell them your
plans and sometimes ask them their
advice; they Will thus open their hearts
to YOU, and will ask you advice. The
girl that tells all her heart to her moth
er, has a shield and protection about
her which can only come with mothers
advice and counsel.
Give the children your confidence in
the affairs of your business. They Will
thus take interest and become co-work-
srs with you. If you enlist their respect.
then their sympathy and their co-opera
ton, they will quite likely remain to
take up your work when you have done,
and will go ahead -perfecting what you
have commenced.
If YOU are a farmer do not overwork
your children, and thus by hard and
dreary life dive them off to the cities.
Arise at a reasonable hour in the morn-
ing. take an hours rest after meals, and
quit at five OF six o'clock in the after
noon. Let the young people in games
and other amusementS. have happy
time the remainder of the day. There
is no reason why farmers family
should be deprived of recreation and
amusement any more than others.

Our Presidents.

First stands the lofty Washington,
That noble, great, immortal one;
The Elder Adams next we see,
And Jefferson comes number three.
Then Madison is fourth you knew,
The fifth one on the list Monroe;
The sixth one Adams comes again,
And Jackson seventh in the train;
Van Buren eighth upon the line,
And Harrison counts number nine,
The tenth is Tyler in his turn,
And Polk eleventh as We learn,
The twelfth was Tayler we may say,
The thirteenth Fillmore by the way;
The fourteenth Pierce as has been seen
Then came Buchanan as fifteen;
The sixteenth Lincoln, a jocalar man,
The seventeenth johnson as we ran,
The eighteenth Grant in course of days
The nineteenth next was r. B. Hayes,
The twentieth Garfield as was expected
AS he was the man that was elected,
As his life to an end did run,
Arthur came in as twenty-one;
Who the next Will be We cannot say,
Perhaps we'll learn some future Gay.

POETRY.
The Music of the Rain.
By ABBE KINNE.

Falling. falling. or the houSe-tops,
With music quaint and rare.
Like the sound of human heart-throbs
On the silent midn; ght air.
Or the tears Of ange-s Ealing
When they weep with those who weep
Or the lullaby OF mothers
When they rock their babes to sleep.
Like the drowsy wine of poppies
With its weird, enc lant,ng power,
Coming to the weary listener
Like the dew TO dropping flower;
Like'calm sleep to those who suffer.
Or like a tear TO those who mourn;
Like remembered words of loved one
From our aching bosoms torn.
Strangely sweet, bewitching music,
All enthralled my senses lie,
AsI watch the mystic Future
With the shadoWy Past go by,
While a calm and holy quiet
Steals upon my heart and brain,
Then l fall asleep, still listening
To the murmur of the rain
So. mayhap. sometime hereafter
shall Law me down to rest,
Overweary, and shall listen
For the music l loved best;
When, its gentle cadence falling
Through the midnight silence deep,
Softly soothes my troubled spirit,
While it luis me into sleep.
When. at last, my soul has fallen
Into sweetest, glad repOSe,
That on ear5h sunshine nor shadow
No awakening ever knows
Like the voice o. waiting angels,
Or Jne veSper bells in toll,
MAY the soiiIy-falling raindrops
Chant a requiem Tor my soul.

The Phrase 81 Have a Crow to Pluck
With You"

The children of the wealthy families
among the Greeks and Romans frequent
ly kept birds for their amusement, and
among these the crow was very often
found In their childish quxrrsls the
boys used TO pull the feathers out Of
each others pets as means OF making
them and their owners ridiculous. No
doubt the crow very violently resented
this indignity but still the fact is pre-
served for US in the phrase, 81 have a
crow to pluck with you" and the selec-
tieu of him as the specimen bird is a
compliment to the crow, in so far as 1t
proves that in his case to the gratitica
tion of irritating his owner was added
the excitement of avoiding the angry re-
sentiment of the biId,

EOt a State TO Tie To.

: !. Sun (Democrarc)
Ohio is a good State for the Democrats
in tidal wave years. But it is prone to
be rather unsteady in its course when
not borne along by ii strong current.
IN the great uprising against Grans's
Administration in 1874, the Democrats
carried Ohio by plurality of 1890.
But the next year the Republicans re-
captured the State. electing Rutherford
b.. Hayes for Governor over the veter-
aud Democrat William Allen. In 1876
Mr.. TildeD was elected President, though
Ohio went for Hayes, just as it had for
every Republican candidate since the
party was founded.
These facts show that Ohio is not a
safe State for the Democratic party to
depend upon in Presidential years.
The Democrats carried their State
ticket last fall by plurality of 10000,
but their absolute majority was only
1859 In October next they will elect
1Ioadly But. in view of its past histo-
ry, it will still remain true that Ono is
not good State for the Democrats to
tie to or take their candidate from a
Presidential contest.

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which cause
human suffering result from arrangement of the
stomach, bowels, and liver. AYERS CArHARrIC
PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are
especially designed to cure the diseases caused
by their arrangement, including Constipatica,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysen-
terry, and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant
remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by
eminent physicians in regular practice, shows
rmmistakably the estimation in which they are
held by the medical profession.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable sub
stances only, and are absolutely free from calomel
or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
AYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and are
my constant companion. have been severe
sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the
only thing could look to for relief. One dose
will quickly move my bowels and free my head

AGRICULTURE.

The man who becomes discouraged in
{ re sheep business, and determines to
Sc ou', is very foolish if he allows him
self to par with his focks entire. If
determ ned to make 4 change, let it be
in thequantity Of stock kept, and not in
the total abandonment Of the flock. Ey-
erything considered, sheep may not pay
as much just now as some other lines of
stock; but in the nature Of things, their
time must come again, and 1t Will be
much easier to get the good Of it with a
flock already on hand than to have to
begin FROM the stump" We do not in
tend to say that there is no money in
sheep-raising pOW-for, averaging the
country over. its tlocks are yielding a
moderate return. But in some localities
circumstances are apparently so unto
ward that occasional men feel almost
ready in their encouragement, to do as
so many did in the depression following
the war to sacrifice their fiocks and
quit. To those who are in this frame of
mind we want to say don - Stock
man.
While the sun is scorching hot is a
good time to cut down the alders and
briers that have in many places sprung
up along the fence row. Do not allow
your fence corners to become Unsightly
patches of weeds and bushes, giving a
ragged, unthrifty appearance to your
farm, and sapping the fertility needed
for ether purposes.
Itis clsimed that sound apples, free
from worms. can be obtained by saving
three or fonr quarts of salt under each

worthy of 4 thorough test. If any plan
as easy and cheap as this will give us
smooth sound apples. by all means let

The Presidential Party.

A Chicago telegram Of the End says:
On board the presidential train, Salem,
Indiana, 9 40 a. m.-The special contain
ing President Arthur and party, rolled out
of the Louisville & Chicago depot, at
Louisville, half an hour late. and after
crossing the long bridge which spans the
Ohio river, at Jeffersonville quickened its
pace under the foothills of southern In
diana. The leave taking which the p1es,-
dent had at Louisville was in measure
informal, although great corccurse of
people had congregated in and about the
depot. The train is decked out in royal
fashion, and the transit Of the special had
evidently been well advertised as was
evidenced By the great crowds along the
entire route. Every crossing had us
quota Of spectators, and the rail fences on
the outskirts of some Of the villages in the
lower portion Of the state were literally
dece rated with the natives. Owing to the
delay in the start, no stop was made after
leaving New Albany, until Salem was
reached, and the train passed through all
intervening villages at flying speed. No
place appeared so modest that it failed
tc possess piece of ordnance, ard
the accompanying cheering Of the assem-
bled crowds was as deafening as the artil
lery. Tie president throughout the first
portion of the run sought seclusion in his
coach and failed to make his appearance
on the platform. Calls were made for the
president at nearly every station, and u
disposition was also manifested by the
erowos for look at Secretary Gresham,
and there were repeated calls for that ger
tleman 1t had been originally intended
to make a short time at all the leading
stations, but owing to the delay in getting
off at Louisville, and the desire to reach
Chicago on time, the plan was abandoned.
The party will reach Chicago at 7 O'Clock
this evening.
