An April Welcome.
BY PIKEHE CARY.
*Coaie up April, thrown the valley,
l.i your iobc* of beauty drest,
Come and wake your flowery chjhtytm
From their wintry lte«li of res.;
Come and overfljw them softly
With the sweet breath of the South ;
Drop upon them, warm au«l loving.
Temlerest kisses from your mouth*
Touch them with your rosy fingerr,
Wake them with your pleasant tread,
Push away the leaf-browu covers,
Over a I their faces spread ;
T -11 them how ths sun is waiting
Longer daily in the skies.
Looking lor the bright uplifting, ^
OF tbeir triaged eyes. m
Call the crow-foot and the crocus,
•Call the pale anemone,
Call the violet and the daisy,
Clothed witn careful modenty ;
Seek the low and humble blossoms,
Of tbeir beau Lies unaware,
Let the Dandelion and fennel
Show their shining yellow hair,
Bid the little homely sparrows.
Chirping in the cold and rain
Their impatient sweet complaining.
Sing out from their hearts again ;
Bid them set themself to mating,
Cooing love iu sotlest worda,
Crowd tbeir nests, all cold and empty,
■Full of little callow birds.
Come up, April, through the valley,
Where the fonutaiuvWps today}
Let him. treed from icy fetters,
Go rejoicing on his way ;
Through the flow, r-euamelled meadows,
Let him run his laughing race,
Making love lo all the blossoms.
That o'erleati and kiss bis luc ,
<U it not bird* and I»1 »s«oin< only,
Not alone the streams Complain ;
Met: ail m.ihl Ml loo are C tiled.
Come up. April, come igain !

One’s Mother.—Around the idea of
one’s mother the mind of man clings
with fond affection. It is the first dear
thought slumped upon iufunt hearts,
when yet soft and capable of receiving
the most profound impressions, and all
the after feelings are more or less in
comparison. Our passions and our wil
fulness m »y lead us far from the object
of our filial love; we may become wild,
headstrong, and angry at her couosels
or opposition; but when death has still
ed her admonitory voice, and nothing
but calm memory remains to recapitu.
late her virtues and good deeds, affec
tum, like » flower beaten to ibe ground
by a rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amidst her tears. Round that
idea, us we have said, the mind clings
with fond affection; and even when the
earliest period of our loss forces memo
ry to be si fen t, fancy takes the place of
remembrance, and twines the image of
our departed parent with a gtrUud of
graces and beauties and virtues which
we d jubt not she posst-ssed.

An Old Blockads Runner.
A Charleston (S. C.) correspondent
ni the Cincinnati Commercial writes':
‘Captain F* nn I‘«.k is an old and
successful hMckade runner, and con
verses freely upon hi* exploits during
the war. He is sixty-four years «ld.
hale and hearty, although touched with
.paralysis, and believes that he will live
to see many young men honed. He
was opposed to secession, bat when
South Carolina went out he fell into the
war with the zeal of his fellow-citizens
of Charleston, and turned his nautical
knowledge to account, became a block
ade runner.
‘Whenever I f »uml how things were

‘No, sir, never, hut came near being
captured by the Rhode Island, off Nas

for Euginud. The R iode Island spied
her and made right for us. They tired
two hundred and odd shots; several
struck u-, but only one done any dam
age. It tore a four foot hole in our
boiler, and 1 run the vessel into the
shoals at Nassau. The view escaped ;
wreckers came down and saved the ves
sel and claimed salvage.’
‘7)id you run the *ame vessel all

‘No, sir; I commanded several—the
Bermuda, the Ct-cile, the Kate, the Mar

‘Where did you run principally. Cap

‘Well, sir, some' times into Charles

‘Were you not afraid of the torpedoes
in the Charleston harbor!’
‘No, sir.’ I had a chart of the har.
bor, prepared by the Confederate engi
neers and torpedo corps, showing where
the tilings wjsresunk and simply steered
clear of tnem. The main ship channel
never was obstructed during the war,
and any ship could haye come in, but it
seemed they were afraid/
‘Well, some of them did come in, in
spite of the torpedo.*8.’
‘Yes, sir. the Ironsides passed right
over a torpedo made out of a thirty
foot boiler,charged with 4 000 pounds of
powder, and sunk only a mile from Fort
Sumter, but it seems as though Provi
dence ordered it otherwise. The thing
did not explode as the vessel touched,
and then they tried the galvanic -butte*
ry on the ♦shore for the torpedo corps

into the air, but the battery would not
exnlode it either. I always believed
that the fellow who fasten- d the wires
fixed them so they would not work, and
a great many others were of my opin

A little girl five years of age,

Parental Government.
Ip all well regulated households the
father of the family exercises a watch
ful rare ovdl* his children. He nates
their various phases oT temperament
and disposition, their hopes and fears;
their anxieties and disappointments;
th«ir physical development and moral
progress, and he becomes in a measure
answerable in society for their good com
dfict With the help of the mother,
most youthful minds may be moulded in
to gentleness and obedience. Filial du
ty then b^coiBes a pleasurable habit,
thaft is observed dur.ng life, and refer-
en ;e for old age is one of tlie most no**
lice able characteristics of such a h..-use»
Iiooid.
•tt umr thy father and thy mother,
that tby days may be long iu ths land
which the Lord tby God hath giv«*n
tbre,* is an injunction of Holy Writ, and
never were words more ippropriate- A
disobedient son or daughter always cre
ates unhappiness, and ultimately brings
dishonor to the domestic gircle, as such
children are surely and constantly feed-
‘ng their own base passions at the shrine
of evil. Few young people become tru.
|y sensible of the injurious effects pro
duced on the rn rid by a constant asstr-
ciation with vicious persons. No one
can touch tar without being defiled,* is
un old proverb, that holds good at all
times and everywhere.
In the moral, us in the physical world,
no measure of carefulness and culture
from one of the parents can atone for
premeditated and pernicious practices
nr examples of the other. A father is
without power to govern his family, if
the mother thoughtlessly oppose him,
and there is no method whereby the
childnJU^f the family ca& be induced to
yielJ him their willing obedience- It is
utterly impossible to prevent evil results
flowing from a conflict of authority on
the part of the parents. The children
are insensibly imbued with a spirit of
disobedicQce, and are qu.uk to manifest
it on the least exercise of parental au
thority.
A good mother can exercise no holier
calling than to guide the footsteps of
her children in the path of duty and
honor. If she also aft -ids her children
a proper example by her own wa.k and
couverantion, she will in her declining
years have no cause lo regret duties un
performed, nor -admonitions that were
unheeded.
Memories.
The heart lias memories that can nev
er die. The rough n-age .>f the world
cannot eWiterato them. Feeble age,
trembling on the brink of the grave, has
them when ererybody else has fled
away and been forgotten. They are the
memories of home—early home—the
house where we were born; the gar
den, with its r »aes where the robins
made their nests, spring after spring,
paying their rent in songs such as we
dream of, but never hear afiorward^
the old din and swing, where the chil
dren used to play, while the mother «»t
by Uie window, her face beaming out
occasionally from the folds of the mus
lin curtain; the same olu house, with
jts pointed gables, quaint cornices and
antique windows , the wainscoted chain
ber where we used to dream of all that
the great, glad w »rld had in store for
us. Dear old home, with its gay
dreams, and sunny hours, and cloudh*es
skies, and visions of bliss and glorious
happiness—gone, all gone.
The traveler, climbing the mountains
of land not his own, amid all his toil and
changes, reverts ever and anon to the
time when, a youth or schoolboy, he
roamed the fields aod hills of his own
native home.
The mariner, rocked by the storms
of the sea, or Testing at some foreign
port, will run through the long lapse of
‘years back to the house where, with
brother and sister, he frolicked the joy
oils hoars of youth away*
Neither change 0<>r time, neither age
nor yonth, neither distance hot disease,
neither guilt nor passion can ever blot*
rom the heart, the memories of the
spring-time of life. These memories
will reproduce, on tiie verge «*f eternity,
the freshness «*f emotion, of life and de.

Africa Hunting. — Here the elephant
r«»utns; you have to stalk him very
carefully, as his tw'iwer t»f scent is very
great, and as soon as he smells a man
he is oft; he makes for the thickets un
derbrush that he can rush through,
while you are picking ysur way. YoQ
have to use un English elephant gun
that carries a four ounce ball; eVr-ry
time yim fire it knocks you down, and
makes your shoulder ache for a week
after; the ball makes a hole in the rie^
ph<uil that you can pat your fist in. If
y*»u do not kill him at the first shot he
will charge you. Climbing a tree doe-
no g«>od in this case; they haul it down
and shake it. Legs ai e your only sal

keys of a 1 kinds abound hove. Mon

triches can be silled if you have u long-
winded and fast horse. The skin and
feathers oT a male ostrich are worth
4220. Zebra skins are w irtli five shil
lings; and some elephants’ tusks weigh
ninety pounds apiece, and are worth
five shillings a pound in Natai.
• he British government does not al
low firearms to bo sold to the natives,
and they hunt with a spear four feet
long. A large body of them form a
circle and march towards a common
centre, driving the wild beasts and deer
• 4 all kinds to this centre. They then
close in and spear them, being careful,
however, to let the lions, etc., have a
wild berth. They manage sometimes
to kill 500 doer in one day by this
means. They then gorge until it is all
gone, and lay up like an anaconda for

The * amily Circle.—No other earth
ly circle can be compared with that of
the family. It comprises al! that a hu
man heart most values and delights in.
It is the centre where all human affec
tions meet and entwiue, the vessels into
which thry all pour themselves with
such joyous freedom There is no one
word which contains in it so many en
dearing associations and precious re^
metubraiir.es, hid iu the heart like gold*
It appeals at once to the very centre of
niao's l>eing, “his heart of heart’s.” All
that is sweet, southing, tender, and true,
is wrapped up iu that one name. It
speaks not of oue cire e or of one bond ;
put of many cfro!e9 and m my bonds—
all of them nenr the heart. Tiie family
home, the family hearth, the family ta
ble, family habits, family voices, family
tokens, family salutations, family melo*
dies, family joys And family sorrows;
what a mine of recollections lie under
that one word l Take these away, and
earth becomes a mere churchyard of
crumbling bones, and men as so many
grains of loosened sand, or At best, but
as fragments of a torn flower which
the winds are scattering abroad.
Ail that is beautiful in human rela
tionship, or tender in numan affection,
or gentle in human intercourse; all that
is lovely and precious to the movements
of human hearts from its lowest depth
to its uppeumost surtace, all these are
wrapt up in the *»oe name of family.—
For close knit bonds, for steadfast, faith
fuloess in love, for depth of sympathy,
for endurance iu trial and danger—
where «hall we find anything to be com
pared to the story of earth’s family cir

erly love, sisterly love, aH are here.—

A Chesrfcl Atm »spOb«ib.—Let us
try to be like the sunshiny member of
the family who has the inestimable art
of making all duty seem pleasant, all
self-denial and exertion easy and desir
able ; even disappointment not so black
and crushing; who is like a bracing,
crisp, frosty atmosphere throughout the
home, without a suspicion of tbo ele

Turning: the Devil to Grass.—So
rapid is their way of doing things in
Chicago, that, when a man makes up
his mind to reform (rather a tough job.)
it becomes important to fix him prompt
ly. It is therefore necessary, at times,
to cut a hole in the ice to perform the
solemn ceremony of baptism. On one
of these occasions a convert, who had
felt the necessity of that rite, was ask'
ed by the minister, “How do you feel
now, brother?* ‘Belter,” was the reply;
“put me in aguin.” The request was
complied with, and after the second dip,
the question was repeated^ “ How d->
you feel mw ?' “Better ! better /” was
the response in a solemn tone of voice

An Irishman, traveling in a street

more enviable gift than the energy to
sway others to good ; to diffuse around
us an atmosphere of cheerfulness, piety,
truthfulness, generosity, magnanimity.
It is not a matter of great energy ; but
rather of earnestness and honesty, and
of that quiet, constant energy which is
like soft rain gently penetrating the soil.
It is rather a grace than a gift; and
we all know where all grace is to L*e

‘You're a pretty girl to gpt married,’
said an aged aunt to lier niece. ‘Why,
•what do you know abont house-kerpins,
jest from a boarding school. I’m sure
your hnshand haa need of a mint of
money.’
•La, aunt, 1 expect to board; yon
need uot think I shall bother myself
with domestic concerns. Everybody
boards now that gets married genteelly
—The first year at lesst.’
‘Wbat shall yon pay a vfeek for aicb
kiod o’ living ?' inquired the aunt.
‘Mr. Hodge says he can get first rate
accommodations for fifteen dollars; two

sure that is cheap enough.’

‘So you are g .ing to live ou the per

Belinda, you talk foolishly ; if your hus
band is at present receiving sis hundred,
do you lay by one of them—it’s all non
sense to go beyoud your means.’
‘Why, aunt nobody would respect us
if we did not live ss stylish as other peo
ple—there is a great deal in tbe begin
ning.'’
‘True, child; that is wbat I waut to
impress upou you.’ ‘
The year passed away. Belinda
lived in ^yle, paid her fifteen dollars
for board, receiving ber ‘geutcel’ ac
quaintances, worked some tabourets,
drew a few sketches from oil paintings,
grew tired of boarding, and was just
entering, on fashionable housekeeping,
when lo, a defalcation came out 1 Hodge
bad ta«en money unlawfully, was arres
ted, held to bail, and a prison stared him
in the face! Belinda did not believe him
guilty ; they had always lived ‘economi
cally,' and it could Bot be. But the tri
al proved otherwise, and he was convic
ted, and sentenced lo imprisonment.
‘How came you, Hodge, to do so?’
inquired the sume old aunt.
‘To please my wife’s fancy,’ was the
reply ‘She wanted to live like other
people, and I wished to gratify her, and
in this way I committed my first breach
of trust’
The broken hearted wife lamented the
beginning she had made when it was
too late to rectify it. She found res.
portability preferable to gentility. Sho
now lives at her father’s with a worse
than widow’s sorrow to harrow her feel,
ir.gs, and takes in sewing as a liveli
hood.
The plain road to ruiu is here clearly
marked ost.
We see what has been the result of
Book a cojtree; but are not thousands
of others sacrificing their husband’s rep.
utations by less obvious, but still ascer
tats, courses of extravagance ? Away
with the nonsensical thought, that gen
tility demands such a sacrifice beyond
one’s ability. If yon value the opinion
of the truly worthy and estimable, you

This Gooss.—Josh B.ilings says the
goose is a grass animal, but don’t chew
her coud.
They are good livers—about one aker
to a goose is enough.
But I don’t think if I had a farm of
176 ukers, awl paid for, that I would
sell it for whnt it was worth, jost be
cause it didn't have but one goose on
it. Geese stay well; some of our best
biographers say sixty years, and grow
tough to the last.
They arc good eating, but not good
chawing; the reason ov this remains
a profound secret to this day.
When the female goose is at work
hatching, she is a hard bird to pleaze ;
she riles clear up from the bottom io a
miunit, and will fight a yoke of oxen if
they show her the le tst bid of saas.—
Toe geese are excellent for the feathers,
Hot only to feather their own Beats, but
other people’s.
But they are more sureist about one
thing; they can haul one leg up into
their boddy, and stand on tother all day,
and not touch anything with their
hands.
K5, A Yankee one day asked his
lawyer how an heiross might be carried
df. ‘You can not do it with safety,’ said
the counselor: ‘but I’ll tell you what
you may do. L t her mount a horsd
and bold a bridle-whip; do yon then
mount behind her, and you are safe, for
she runs away with you.’ The next
day the lawyer found that it was his
own daughter who had run away with
his client.
‘How could God muke a woman out

The Sun’s Heat.
It is evident that the atmosphere must
act in difiu>ing heat just as we have
seen that it acts in diffusing light. Th f
effect is one of the thousand condition-
on which tbs existence of organic life
depends. Were it not for the influent:,
of the atmosphere the greatest exlrenaei-
of tem;>eruture would he produced by
the alternation of day and night ; an.
and even were the deusity of the atmoa
phare reduced only oue-half, the varia
tion would be so great as to render the
existence of the higher forms of organic
life impossible. But not only does the
atmosphere diffuse the heat of the aim's
rays; it also sets, an! even more effjjt
ually, in retaining ou the surface the
beat which the earth is constantly re
ceiving from the great central luminary.
The atmosphere has tbna been cotnpar'
ed to a mantle, fer like a huge cloak, it
envelopes the earth in its folds, and pro
tects it from the chill of the celestial
spaces throu *b which we are rushing
with such immense velocity.
The atmosphere also serves an equal
ly important end in distributing the
genial warmth o( the sun's rays over
the whole surface of the earth, modera
ting the climate of the temperate zone,
and mitigating the intense heat of the
tropics. Air, like ali gases, is expand
ed by heat, and 'bus rendered specifi
cally lighter; and uti this simple prin
ciple all oar methods of warming and
ventilation are based. Now, when we
remember that the atmosphere under
the tropics must become more intensely
heated by the vertical rafs of the sun
than it is iu the temperate zone, the re
sult will be obvious. The heated air
rises, and the Cold air toshes in front
the north and south to take its place.—
In this manner the trade and other
winds are pro-isced. The aerial cur-
rents, coining from the south, bring
with them the heat of the tropics, and
distribute it over the temperate zone,
while return currents carry the cooler
air of tlie north towards the tropics.
Bat, although the heat of the sun
might set in motion these aerial cur
rents, they would have but little effect
in wanning our northern climate, were
it not that the air has been endowed
with a certain capacity of holding heat.
All substances possess this capacty to a
greater or less degree, but the differ
ences between them are very larg .—
Were tlie capacity of the air less, the
hot air from the tropics would bring to
us proportionally less heat; were it
greater, the reverse would be the case ;
and in either event, the distribution of
temperature on the earth would be
changed. To what extent such a
change would ufLet ths general wel
fare of man, it is impossible to deter
mine; but when we consider h nv far
the history of man has been influenced
by climal , it will appear that the pres
ent distribution of the hum in race—the
ex stenee, for example, of a large and
influential city in any particular place—
may be said to depend on the adjust
ment of tbe capacity of the atmosphere
fm heat. And yet it depends no less
on a thousand other conditions,, many
of them far more important.
Social Hunts.—Every person should
cultivate a nice sense of honor. In a
hundred diff-rent ways this most fitting
adjunct of the true lady or g.-ntlemah in
often tried. For instance, one is a
guest iu a family where, perhaps, the
domestic Rttdiincrjt does not run
smoothly. There is a sorrow m the
house unsuspected by the outer world.
Sometimes it is a dissipated son whose
conduct is a shame aud grief to his pa,
rents; sometimes a relative whose ec.
centricities arid fteculiarities are a cloud
on the home. Or, worst ofalj, husband
and wile may not bo in accord, and there
may be often bitter words apiketi, and
harsh recriminations. In any of these
cases the guest is in honor bound to be
blind and deaf, so far as people without
are concerned. If a gentle word with*
in can do good, it may well be said, but
to go forth and reveal the shadow of an
unhappy secret to any one, even your
nearest friend is an act of indelicacy
and ineunness almost unparalleled.—
Once in the sacred precincts ol any
borne, admitted to its privacy sharing
its life, ell that you see and hear, should
become a sacred trust. It is as really
contemptible to gossip of such things as
it w .-uld be to steal the silver or borrow
the b.-oks and forget to return them.
Abscrditiks.—To say alter a thing
happens, ‘I knew it was going to take
place.’
To ask a merchant if the article be
sellsyou is first quality.
To carry ‘bricks’ io your hat and fan
cy you can keep them hidden from the
world.
To think you must win a lawsuit be
cause you have the law and evidence on
your side.
To tell a person of whom you would
borrow money that you urgently need it
To think the great difficulty in life is
to find opportunity for the talent, and
uot talent for the opportunity.
To make a foolish match and then
ask a friend’s opinion of it.
To say that you have no leisure in
stead of no disposition to improve your
m ti l or do g"od.
To put salt iu your soup before J m
have tasted it
