past, but raspberries and currants are
now ripe, and blackberries, the most
healthy and invigorating of all, will soon
be had in profusion. Every one who is
able to do SO ought to consider it sacred
duty to make all the preserves and jellies
they possibly eau, for the use of our sick
and wounded soldiers. Pickles are highly
valued by men in camp and now is just
the time to be preparing them. Native
wines are very valuable in many cases of
sickness, and while currants, berries and
grapes last, good supply should be laid
in. The young men who remain at home
will be glad to pick the fruit and do the

their young lady friends will put them
up to it, and attend to the sweetening

CHAPTER n.
Year: 1862

Never give your son night key. In
diligence on this point may first save you
little trouble, but will cause great sor-
row in the end. If it should be neces.
sary for him to be out beyond the usual
hour, you would do well to sit up for
him and let him in with your own hand.
The fact that parent is waiting at home,
the influence Of reception by a moth
er's voice and mothers eye, the demon
stration thus made of an affection so
watchful and so incapable of being happy
without knowing her son is safe under
her own roof before she herself rests in
sleep, all make strong impression even
on a wayward heart. The youth of a
family should all be safely housed at the
usual hour Of retiring to bed No good
follows children or families who break
through these hours. The union of the
cheerful hearts of household around the
blazing hearth aud central light of home,
to part at bed time, with alfectionate
greetings, is one Of the greatest pleasures
Of the day. 1t is a powerful cement to
the family feeling. Make all this at.
tractive to your children, and keep up
the habit uubroken. In most cases the
night key is the key that opens the door
of the way going down to the gates of
death. When importuned, think of this;
and never put into the hands of your
son night key 1t should be held by
yours. If alone.

| am the last man to say, "don't help
your frieud,' if you honorably can. If
We have money, We manage it i'll when
we cannot help friend at pinch But
the plain fact is this: Pythias wants
money. Can you give it, at whatever
stint to yourself in justice to others? II
you can, and you value Pythias more
than the money, give the money, and


there is an end of it; but if you cannot
give the money don't sign the bill. Do
not become what, in rude truth you do
become-a knave and liar-if you
guarantee to do what you know that you
cannot do, should the guarantee be ex-
acted. He is generous who gives; he
who lends may be generous also; but on


iy on one condition, that he can afford to
give what he can afford to lend; of the
two, it is safer, friendlier, cheaper, in
the long run, to give than to lend. Give,
aud you may keep your friend if you lose
your money; lend, and the chances are,
that you lose your friend if ever you get
back your money. But if you do lend,
let it be with the full confidence that the
loan is gift, and count it among the
rarest favors Of Providence if you be
ever repaid. Lend to Pythias on the
understanding: "This is loan if you
can ever repay me. l shall, however,
make this provision against the chance
of quarrel between US, that if you can
not pay me it stands as gift" And
whenever you lend, let it be money and
not your name. Money you may get
again, and if not, you may contrive to do
without it; name once lost you cannot
get it again, and if you can contrivc to
do without it, you had better never have
been born.-E Bul,cer Lytton.

are quite jubilant over their prospects Of
remaining here for some time. But then
the fortunes of war are various, and though
the indications are that we are to make
this place quite visit, still it will never
do for us to dote too much over fancied
pleasures and easy times while Uncle

On the mournful shores of Time.

SINCE, in the providence of God, Lieut..


G. S. Rand has been removed from our


number by the hand of death, we, his


brother officers, wish to express our


sense of his worth, and our sympathy


with his relations in the following rcso-


lutons:


Resolyed, that Lieut.. Rand was one who
by his activity and faithful performance
of his duty on all occasions, had won the
respect and confidence of the rrivates of
his company, as well as of all the officers
associated with him in command.


Resolced, that in his daily, social in
tercourse, by his generous and manly
spirit, and by his correct and estimable
department, he had gained the personal
friendship of all his companions, and
therefore,


Resolved that we deeply regret his loss
both from our circle of friendly acquain-
tances and of military duties; and that
we heartily sympathizc with his family in
their grief at his early death, while we
share with them the satisfaction of know
ing that he died as he had lived, in the
full and honorable discharge of his duty.


Resolved, that Capt. Grout is requested
to respectfully communicate the resolu-

Senator Trumbull Of Illinois told Mr.. Lincoln

not achieve decided success before winter

to oct Congress to authorize loan. This.

One of the greatest curiosities in The oil

The flames from the burning gas form a

they raise in mid air to the height Of eighty
or hundred feet. raging and rolling in
every conceivable shape, and ,ost in the
dense volume of smoke that is carried up

continues gradually to expand, and taking
fire from the burning gas, adds to the gran

constant blaze Of ten or fifteen feet, for a
considerable distance round the base, spots
