Parents and Children.

| believe early marriages are the
best, provided those taking upon them
selves the marriage relation properly
understand its duties. But, for one to
marry before he or she knows ANYTHING
Of the responsibilities Of married life,
the care and training of children, il
not only ridiculous but absolute foolish
ness.
For bringing up children, properly,
give us the old time mothers. The
olden time mothers generally have Tor
had due regard for moral and religious
instructions, good examples and regular,
healthy habits.
Parents, do not suffer your children
to 20 into sinful and forbidden paths,
10y not using your own authority and
influence. Give early and wise coun-
sci, but not an undue amount. DO not
scold, lecture, fault-fin and compare
them To ugly things or hateful persons.
Give them such culture as will make
them dutiful and kind, noble and in
genuous, industrious and emulous.
Make Home attractive for them
by praise of what they have done well
enough, by aiding hem to cultivate a
few nice flowers, by procuring them
pictures, papers and books. Select
none hut the purest, best literature,
standard poets, good biographies and
histories, and, If any fiction at all, only
the best by first class authors.
o, fathers, mothers, rear these dear
children in 1.-The nurture and admoni>
ton of the Lord ~
o, children love and obey, honor and
respect your parents Labor and care
for them in their old age. All, what a
beautiful sight IL is to behold the faith
full, unwearied care and dutiful labor of
children for their pareptsl
| do sincerely believe that If filial
love is in the child's heart, all the other
virtues will follow. He or she who
loves his or her parents will never bring
the gray hairs of parent IN sorrow to
the grave. Filisl love and recollections
of Home" will, i'm mos; cases, debar
one from crime.
When your father, or your mother,
are wrinkled with age and care-when
their hair is 'silvered DER with the
frost of many winters" o, then be sure
to care for and respect them

Rev. John p. Newman. d. d.. the He
roe's Friend.

The interesting announcement Il
made that AT the funeral services To L.,
held over the remains of General Grant
at Mount Mctireeor, next Saturday
the sth inst. the Rev. DIR. Newman
his longtime friend and pastor, will
give 10 the world what Il can get ia n,
other way, "a full, complete, ahsolut,
proof of General Grants christian char.
acier." DIR. Newman will also ofliciate
at the fiual ceremonies of interment, in
fulfillment Of Gen. Grants express de-
sire. ~ recently IA April ID, when
the sufferers death was momentariIy
expected, DIR. Newman baptized Gen.
ersl Grant. Additional 10 his promi,
nence before the world as the friend
who continued near the hero during
the last weeks of his life, the clergyman
whose portrait We give To the HERALD
readers at the head Of this article, Is
distinguished for learning aud eIo-
quence, and has long filled IA conspic-
aNoT lfeN' w Aah' lftiiiN NitN
He was born ia the State of New
York, in ls26, and is consequently fif,
ty-nine years old. After being edu-
Gated at Cazenovia Seminary, he en-
tered the Ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. His remarkable
talent as speaker and writer soon at
trscted attention. At first he was "A
member of the Troy Conferenc. but a
sermon preached nj the dedication of
the Hanson Place Church, in Brooklyn,
about twenty one years ago, on the
Resurrection, led 10 his being called To
one Of the richest churches i'm that city.
After filling several good appointments
he was stationed at the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church of WASH
ington. IL was here that the warm
friendship between him and General
Grant began, which continued 10 the
end of the great soldiers life.
From 1869 To 1874, DIR. Newman was
chaplain of the United States Senate
Later President Grant made him In,
spector of Consulates- Office created
for the purpose. In this capacity he
spent two years abroad, extending his
trip through Palestine. When he re-
turned he was placed on the superan-
nuated list at his own request, but on
the resignation of DIR. Davis, of the
MadisonAvenuet congregational Church,
New York, he accepted the passionate.
Tins connection was severed after a
violent aud protracted church quarrel.
The party adverse To the employment
OF Methodist minister as pastor of a
Congregational church finally succeed
Ell in bringing about DIR. Newman's
resignation. During a considerable part
of the time during which the quarrel
lasted DIR. Newman was away in Cali
fornia, where, in a Protestant Eplsco-
pal church at San Francisco, he deliv>
cred eulogy on Leland Stanford, the
deceased son of Ex-Governor Stamford,
for which he is said 10 have received
the sum OF ten thousand dollars from
the boys father.
Since his return East DIR. Newman
has preached often in Methodist pull
pits. Ii is understood that he will
shortly be given passionate in one of
the Methodist Episcopal conferences.

GanarAl Grant.

The funeral honors paid 10 General
Grant may appear TO many as man
worship; aud this will no doubt be the
Judgment of a msjority Of those who
took nm opposite stand from him during
the war, and of many others who un-
used 10 going beneath the surface Of
things for hidden causes, dash oil a
verdict as hssty as il H. unstudied and
unreliable. A part of these honors is
due to the caure i'm winch he fought,
the cause Of the union and of liberty,
and they are shared by every soldier
who volunteered and went forth to
save the country nom the fearful ruin
OF disunion. Among the colossal fig
ures who lowered up in the mighty
arena Of the war the country seems
pleased TO assign 10 him the most con
spicuous position; but whatever may
lie said in his honor may with more or
less emphasis Ice said of McClelland,
Sherman, Buell., Rosecrsns, Hancock,
Sheridan and Others. They struck like
giants IN the same noble cause and will
not be forgotten by grateful country.
State We'd with State and city with
city TO make his obsequies the most
imposing on record. The poorest sol,
der that followed his mighty leader
ship and the millionaire who advanced
the necessary funds TO carry on the
modest and hottest of wars, bent togeth-
er in undissembled sorrow beside his
bier; aud even his enemies, who, dur,
ing his life, opposed him with unre-
lenting rertinacity, seemed to forget
their former hostility, bestowing on
him the highest encomiums and ming
ling with an appearance of heartfelt
sorrow in the mighty throDg assembled
to do honor to his memory. Kings aud
princes will regard with envy the Won
derful demonstrations of love and grief
that attended the remains of the great
hero to his last resting place, and may
learn TO their advantage that the arbi,
trary forms of mourning for the dis
tinRuished dead OF their own countries
are nothing but solemn farces, and that
no grief for the loss of a great public
servant or benefactor Is like that which
flows spontaneously from the hearts of
a free people.
He not his own ambitious projects sought,
But for the union of his country fought.
Against Rebelion's dragon he went sorth
And like 81. George he pinned IL TO the earth,
Restored the land by wars distractions riven
And made IL more than Washington had
given. re.

At recent meeting of the New Hamp-
shire Club, the valued insurance law was
talked over, many prominent citizens of the
State taking part in the discussion. Some Of
the speakers looked upon the law as bad in
every respect-bad in principle and bad as a
matter of policy. Others regarded the prin-
ciple of it correct, while admitting that it
had worked disastrously in practice. The
Hon. o. C. Moore of Nashua was the only
gentleman who vigorously defended and ap-
proved it. The prevailing opinion appeared
to be that it would be of no use to call spe-
cial session of the legislature, as the chances
were that not enough of the members had
changed their minds to ensure the repeal of
the law. Several gentlemen expressed the
opinion that with the masses the law was
more popular now than the day twas passed,
and that public sentiment was opposed to its
repeal. Mr.. Moore made good point against
the insurance companies that had withdrawn
from the State, by pointing out that many of
these companies had just paid risks on prop
erty in Galveston voluntarily incurred under
law similar to the New Hampshire law
they complained of so loudly.

these matters still prevails. If the sources
of the diphtheria cases which have occurred
on the Hill during the past year could be
correctly traced, it would be found probably
that considerable per cent. OF them were
due to contact with patient sick with the
disease or oftener to contact with some
article that had absorbed the poison. Public
funerals are another prolific source of the
spread of contagious diseases and they
should under no circumstances be allowed.
