BE patient with little ones. Let neither
their slow understanding nor their occa-
sional pertness offend you, or provoke the
sharp reproof. Remember, the world is
new to them, and they have no slight task
to grasp, with their unripened intellects,
the mass of facts and truths that crowd
upon their attention. You are grown to
maturity and strength, through years of
experience, and it i'll becomes you to
fret at the little child that fails to keep
pace with your thought. Teach him pa
tiently as God teaches you, cline upon
line, precept upon precept; here little,
there little" Cheer him on in this con-
f1ict with mind; in after years his ripe,
rich thought shall rise up and call you
blessed. Bide patiently the endless ques-
tioning of your children. Do not rough
ly crush the springing spirit of free in
Quiry with an impatient word or frown,
nor attempt, on the contrary, long and
instructive reply to every slight and
casual question. Seek, rather, to deepen
their curiosity, convert, if possible, the
careless question into a profound and
earnest inquiry Let your reply send
the little questioner forth, not SO
much proud of what he has learned, as
anxious to know more. Happyyou, if in
giving your child the fragment OF truth
he asks for, you can whet his curiosity
with glimpse of the mountain of truth
lying beyond; SO you will send forth a
philosopher, and not silly pedant, into
the world Bear patiently the childish
humors of the little ones. They are but
the untutored pleadings of the young
spirit for care and cultivation. Irritated
into. o.strength and hardened into habits,
they will hunt the whole of life like fends
in despair, and make your little ones
curse the day they were born; but correct
ed kindly and patiently, they become the
elements of happiness and usefulness.
Passions are but fires that either scorch
us with their uncontrolled fury, or may
yield us genial and needful warmth.
Bless your little ones with patient care
of their childhood, and they will certainly
consecrate the glory and grace Of their
manhood to your service. Sow in their
hearts the seed of perennial blessedness;
it's ripened fruit will afford you perpet-

REMEMBER three years ago telling OF
the marvellous cause of the great Larderel
fortune. 1t is pretty story, and an
abridgment will bear repeating. The
founder of the family was a peddler,
grandfather of the young count and con-
tessina, who are matching with illegiti-
mate royalties and descendants of the
families that count back their centuries
of distinction. One day the peddler took
off his pack under the trees in Maremma
woods and spread out his bread and meat
for the MONDAY meal. While eating he
fell asleep, and his bread and meat rolled
down on the earth. When he awakened
he picked it up and began eating. The
first mouthful was so bitter that he could
not swallow it. He found the cause was
earth in which it had rolled. He was an
intelligent fellow, and his hobby was
chemistry. He had friend at Leghorn
who was druggist, and with whom ne
had studied out many chemical secret.
So the taste of the earth set his mind to
work. He gathered a portion OF the earth
and put it in his pack. When he tramp
ed back to Leghorn he and his apothecary
friend examined the earth and found his
suspicious verif1ed-tbe earth was full OF
soda and borax. The peddler took
his savings and quietly bought the waste
land in the Maremma forest, set up his
manufactures, and made princely for
tune. In one of the galleries of the splen-

You cannot see the beauty of this little worn-out

And how little chubby foot would struggle in its

Turn uD five little rosy toes, and fling it right

You wonder why 1 treasure this little worn-out

But am thinking fondly of the time when there

And how little pair of feet pattered along the


floor,
In the old days when was young, fifty years back


and more.
You ask me why I keep it, this little worn-out
And well 1 know it does not call up fancies sweet


to you;
But I, with grandsons round my knee, would feel
That thri'd me when I taught to walk, my dar-
ling first-born boy;
You marvel that I save it, this little worn out
You think me getting childish. ay, and it may all


be true;
ut would think of my dead son, not as worn


out man,
But,as the child who kissed me as from chair to


chair he ran.
So even let me love it, this little worn out shoe,
For memory paints fair pictures on its tips of


faded blue;
And though my eyes are getting dim, still have
sight to trace
The iaxen hair, the laughing eyes, the merry title


face.
And then sit and ponder over this worn-out shoe,
live again my chequer'd life, all the long evening


through;
And though you tell me he was old, I feel that


cannot be,
For in my heart my long-lost child will still seem


young to me.

Among the good stories told at the ex-
peIse of Mr.. Greeley's chirogrsphy is this:
Years ago when young man, he received
a poem from young lady in Vermont. he
strongly suspected that all poetry was nom
sense, especially if the lines did not square
at both ends, and as this particular poem
did not come up 70 his peculiar mechanical
standard for such literature, he threw 1t in
to the waste basket, and wrote to the author
that he thought she would do better TO mar
nv thu first honest man that offered her his
hand, and mend his hose and tend his
babies, than to rack her brain in tryiny TO
write rhymes that nobody would read. The
poor girl received the cruel letter, but could
not d"cipher only the writer's name. She
showed i to her mother, and she too was
uorp'Esed. A council Of inquiry was held

1t seems now to be understood 10 this
community, although the most careful
efforts have been made to keep the fact
a secret, that the Radical Executive
Committee of the State, whose head.
quarters are at Parkersburg, and which


prints and distributes the tickets to be
voted throughout the State, has
decided to place the name Of A. K.
Boteler on every Radical ticket to be
voted in this district. The decision OF
the State Executive Committee was
made 80 soon as it was ascertained that
the Grafton Democratic Convention had
adjourned without q nomination to the
fifth of September. Now, what can be
the purpose OF such an act OF political
trickery; Governor Stevenson, who If not
a member OF that committee, undouot-
edly controls its movements, knows
and declared in the State Journal, his
paper, that there is no authority In law
for a Congressional election on the 22d
of August. What, then, can be the
motive for such q movement 1t Is
simply through the insttumentallty OF
a corrupt and unprincipled majority In
the House OF Representatives to steal a
seat in Congress from this District; to
rob the people OF their rights; anu
upon the bsldest and most untounded
pretext, to get majority in Congress to
perpetuate a gross fraud and wrong
upon the people OF this district. Has
Mr.. Boteler consented to participate IN
this fraud and trickery? Has he
stooped so low as not only TO be Rad
ical candidate for this district, but also
to profit by their infamous attacks upon
the rights Of the people?


What motive has the honest portion
OF the Republican party to chime IN
with this discreditable movement
There is no Democratic nominee in the
field whom they might feel a party in
terest to defeat. There is no Congress
sional issue joined in this election be
tween the two parties. Ii, under such
circumstances, they encourage this
trickery, they must cast their votes Tor
Mr.. Boteler, not ss the antagonist oil
Democratic nominee, Tor there Is
none such in the field, but for the
love they must bear him persona alIy
and politically. When did Mr.. Boteler
become this favorite OF the Radical
party? Why, if it is in their power to
elect representative TO Congress with:
out opposition, is Mr.. Boteler selected
as that favorite individual? Has he
rendered such valuable service to that
party, and SO conciliated their affection
by his acts, as to Assure him in this
preference over the veteran heroes Of
their own party, or is it that the posi-
ton is so infamous and disgraceiul that

willing to accept it, and thereby incur

Fathers Advice 10 His Son.


During the war Of the rebellion, a
number of the newspapers published
the following private letter from Gen.
r. E. Lee to his son. 1t is very inter-
esting, and although written many
years ago, will repay perusal:


ARLINGTON House. April 5, 1852.


MY DEAR SoN-I am just in the act
OF leaving home for New Mexico. My
inc old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and must hasten
to see that they are all properly taken
care Of. | have but little to add in
reply to your letters OF March 25. 81
and %. Your letters breathe spirit OF
fraukness. They have given mytelf
and your mother great pleasure. You
must study TO be frank with the world !;
frankness is the child Of honesty and
courage. Say what you mean to do on
every occasion, and take it for granted
YOU m can to do right, j friend asks a ia
yor YOU should grant it ifit is reasonable;
if not. tell him plainly why YOU can
not you will wrong yourself by equivo.
cation of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing to make friend or keep one; the
man who requires you to do 80 is dear
" purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kind
ly but firmly with your classmates ;
YOU will find it the policy that wears
best. Above all do not appear to
others what you are not. If you have
any fault to find with any one tell him,
not others, of what you complain /;
there is no more dangerous experiment
than that OF undertaking to be one thing
before a mans face and another behind
his back. We should live, act, and say
nothing to the injury Of any one. 1t is
not only best as a matter of principle,
but is the path 10 peace and honor.


Ia regard to duty, let me, in conclu-
sion OF this hasty letter, inform you
that nearly one hunnred years ago
there was day of remarkable gloom
and darkness, still known as the dark
day; a day when the light OF the sun
was slowly extiuguished as if by an
eclipse. The Legislature OF Connecticut
was in session, and as its members saw
the unexpected and unaccountable
darkness coming on, they shared in the
general awe and terror. 1t was sup
posed by many that the last day-the
day of judgment-had come. Some
one, in the CONSERVATION OF the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Daven.
port Stanford, who said that if the last
dsy had come, he desired to be found at
his place doing his duty, and therefore
moved that candles be brought 80
that the House could proceed
with its duty. There was quiet
ness in that mans mind-tbe quiet
ness Of heavenly wisdom-an infiexible
willingness to obey present duty. Duty,
then. is the sublimest word in our Ian.
euage. Do your duty in all things like
the old Puritan. You cannot do more;
YOU should never wish to do less
Never let me and your mother wear
one gray hair for lack Of duty on your
part. II. T. LEE

The Cleveland Hearald justly says;
Judcious advertising always pays.


# you have a good thing, advertise it
IF you haven't don't


Don't be afraid to invest in printer

out.


Large type isn't necessary in adverts
ing Blind folks don't read newspapers


Never run down your opponents goods
in public ct him do his own advertis
| ing


You can't eat enough in one week tc
last you whole year, and you can t adver-
tise on that plan either


1t is true Of advertising as of anything
else in the world-If it is worth doing at
all it Is worth doing we'll


Hand bills 4nd circulars are good OF
their kind. but they cannot take the place
Of newspaper advertisements


No bell EN- ring SO loudly as good ad
vertisement. People will believe what
they see rather than what they hear
We don't recommend advertising as the
best way to get wife but We do know
that is Fe best way to get good trade
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver
tisement, it is great gain. The fair sex
don t hold all the curiosity in the world
People who advertise only once in three
months forget that most IF folks can't re.
member anything longer than seven DAYS


Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam when the water is
low. Either plan will prevent good times
from ev. coming.


A constant dropping will wear away the
rock. Keep dropping your advertisement
on the pubic and they will soon melt
under it like rock salt


When people see man advertise they
know he Is business man, and his adver-
tiSng proclamations say he is not above
his business but is anxious to do it.


Dull tines it is said, ''are the best
time Tor advertisers because when money
is tight, and the people are forced to econ
omise, they always read the advertisements
to ascertain who sells the cheapest, and
where they can trade to best advantage


According to the character or extent of
your business, set aside liberal percent
age for advertising. Keep yourself un-
ceasinely before the public: aud it mat
ters not what BUSH ess OF utility you are
engaged in, for, if intel!igently aud in
duslrlously pursued, "A fortune will be the
result.


The man who advertises shows not only
il bu iness talent above his neighbors, but
he may at once be reckoned among the in
dependent. generous and public spirited of
the community. He who hides his light
under bushel, when such advantages as
those at present given are so freely of, red
