that parent should give, runs off eagerly
after the designing fattery of others To
withhold praise where it is due is not hon.
est, and, in the case of child, such a course
often leaves singing sense of injustice


Motives of common justice, as well as the
regard for the future of the child, should
influence the parent to give generous praise
for all that deserves it. Of course fhere

if he should tell me that wasn't drunk that

he WAS well set up.

the most naturd symptoms that Il man ever

In the first place, it was about 50 rods
from where drank the lager to mi house,

had hole busted thru each one of mi plnta-
loon kneese, and didn't htve emmy hat, and
ried to open the door with the bell pull, and
hckupped awfully, and say every thing in
the room trying tew get round on the back
side ov me; and in settin down in chair i
dldn wait long enough for it to get exactly
under me when il WAS goin round and j set
down ii little too soon and missed the chair
,bout II inches, and couldn't get up quick
enough to take the rext one tn It come along;
md tha, amt all; mi wife said was as
drunk as Il beast, and as said before,
begun to spit up things freely


Ii lager beer is not Intoxicating. it used me
almighty mean, that know.


Still, hardly think ihtt lager beer is in
toxicl'ing, for i have been told so; and am
probably the only man living who ever drank
emmy when his bile was not plumb.


| don't want TO say anything against a
temperance heverge, but if ever drink any
more it will be with my hands tied behind

you first; but now take me pen in
hand to drop you few lines, to inform
you of the death of your own living
uncle, Kilpatric.


He dropped off very suddenly after u
long and distracted illness Of six months.
Poor man he suffered great deal. He
lay long time in convulsions, quite
easy and speechless aud all the time
talking incoherently and inquiring for
water. I'm very much at loss to tell
you what his death was occasioned at
but the DR.. thinks it was occasioned by
his last illness, for he wasn't we'll during
the continument. His age ye know jist
as we'll as I can tell you; he was rs
years and Is months old last March, and
if he had lived till this time he would
have been dead six n nonths jist

pound note which your father sends to
you unbeknown to mo. Your mother
often speaks ofye; she would like TO send
you the brlndle COW; and but for the
horns | would enclose her to ye. l
would beg of you not break the seal OF

you have read it, by whidh time ye'll be

SOCIAL HoNoR.-Every person should
cultivate a nice sense Of honor. In q
hundred different ways this most fitting
adjunct to the lady or gentleman is often
tried For instance, one is the guest Of
family where, perhaps the domestic ma.
chinery does not run smoothly. There
is sorrow in the house, unsuspected by
the outer world. Sometimes it is dis.
spated son, whose conduct is shame
and grief to his parents; sometimes a
relative, whose eccentricities and pecu-
liarities are cloud on the home. Or


worst of all, husband and wife may not
be In accord, and there may be often
bitter words spoken and harsh recrimin'
ations. In any Of these cases, the guest
is in honor bound to be blind and deaf
as far as people without are concerned


If a gentle word within can do any good


it may well be said but to 60 forth and
reveal the shadow of an unhappy secret
to any one, even your nearest friend, Ii
an act of indelicacy and meanness un-
paralleled. Ono, in the sacred precincts
of any house, admitted into its privacy,
sharing its life, all that you can see and
hear is sacred trust. 1t is really as
contemplate to gossip of such things as
it would be to steal the silver or borrow
the books and forget to return them.

write at all; because, for instance, If think
anybody's house is on fire, l only say, Sir,
your house is on fire.; whereas formerly L

ably passed the delightful days of youth is in

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, late President Of
the Confederate States, arrived in the
city yesterday and stopped at the Gait
House. To-day he visited the fair grounds,
after which he left for the East. He
left as he came, quietly and without os-
tentation, and as became his fallen great
ness. The vicissitudes of his life-occur-
rences of sufficient Importance to make
an undying fame for dozen men,
crowded into few years-made him an
object of surprising interest to those who
still retain a respect for the chieftam of
such a people as that whose glory was
the Confederate flag. Hence, though
he would avoid it, he was an object of es-
pecial attention from a few friends, who,
whatever they may have thought of his
cause, still revered the man. Noble and
dignified in his manner, bearing upon hi,
intellectual face the marks of much men
tai suffering, he received the testimony
of the regard of his friends with placid,
benignant smile, and a manner that in the
estimation of those who beheld him lifted
him far above his calumniators. A few OF
the hot-headed Radical persuasion may

A word of warning TO young ladies OIL
this subject is not inappropriate. How
many young women, by uniting their
iestinies with tipplers, or men Of con
irmed intemperate habits. have Involved
themselves IN sorrow, and often shame.
"Yet, in spite of all the wretchedness OF
Irunkard's wives" says Mr.. Culyer,
young women are cont ually willing
to marry men who are in the habit of in
dulging in the social glass. Ladies' often
refuse the marriage offers Of young men
because they are too poor, or Of too hum
BILE family, or are to plain in person or
manners. But only now and then one
has good sense enough to refuse to unite
herself with man who will not pledge
himself to total abstinence, A rich aud
'ashiouable young maa has commonly no
trouble to get wife, even though he is
h irdly sober long enough to pronounce
the marriage vow. But ietotaler in
coarse raimeut might be snubbed as a
vulgar fellow. who has never been in So
riety. Ladies! before you begin to scold
at me for this impious thiHg, just look
around and see if it i. not true"


Ladies. this is an important subject,
and you should consider it well. 1t in-
wolves your happiness and respectability
in this world, and perhaps your saliva
ton in the next. You shoald reject the
hand of any man who indulges in the in
toxicating cup. What is riches or any
thing else worth; without sobriety, vir-
