Vagaries of a Starving Man.
Mr. Evarts, who was lost in the
Yel'owstone, contribute to Scrib
ner’s an interesting account of his
“Thirty-seven Days of Peril.” We
quote:
“l lost all sense of time. Days
and nights came and went, and were
numbered only by the growing con*
sciousness that I was gradually
starving. 1 felt no hunger, did not
cat to appease appetite, but to re
new strength. I experienced but
little pain. The gaping sores on my
feet, the severe burn on my hip, the
festering crevices at the joints of my
lingers, all terrible in appearance,
had ceased to give me the least con
cern. I lie toots which supplied iny
food had suspended the digestive
power of llie stomach, and their fi*
bfes were packed in it in a mailed,
compact mass.
“Not so with my hours of slum*
her. They were visited by the most
luxurious dreams. 1 would appar
ently visit the most gorgeously de*
corated restaurants of New York and
Washington ; sit down to immense
tables spiead with the most appetiz
ing viands; paitakeol the richest
oyster stews and plumpest pies; en
gage myself in the labor and pre*
paration ot curious dishes, and with
them fill range upon range of ele
gantly furnished tables, until lliey
fairly groaned beneath the accumu
lated dainties prepared by my own
hands. Frequently the entire night
would seem to have been spent in
gelling up a sumptuous dinner. 1
would realize die fatigue of roasting,
soiling, and fabricating the choicest
dishes known to modern cuisine , and
m my disturbed slumbeis would en
joy with epicurean relish the food
tfius furnished to repletion. Alas!
there was more luxury than life in
these somnolent vagaries. * *
“By some process which I was
too weak to solve, my arms, legs
and stomach were transformed into
so many travelling companions. Of
ten for hours I would plod along
conversing with these imaginary
friends. Each had his peculiar
wants which he expected me loeup*
ply. The stomach was importun
ate in his demand for a change of
diet—complained incessantly of the
roots I fed to him, their present cf
lectand more remote consequences.
1 would try to silence him with
promises, beg of him to wait a few
days, and when this failed of the
quid I desired, I would seek to in
limidale him by declaring, as a sure
result of negligence, our inability to
reach homg alive. All to no purpose
—he tormented me with his fretful
humors through the entire journev.
The others would generally concur
with him in these fancied alterca
tions. The legs implored me for
rest, and the arms complained that
l gave them too much to do. Trou
blesome as they were, it was a
pleas ire to realize their presence. 1
Worked for them, too, with right
many things lor their
seeming: comfort wui ch, had I fell
myself alone, would have remained
undone.' They appeared to be per
fectly helpless of themselves; would
do nothing for me or for eacn other.
I often wondered, while they ate and
slept so much, that they did nbt aid
in gathering wood and kindling fires.
Asa counterpoise to their own iner
tia whenever they discovered lan
guor in me on necessary occasions,
they were not wanting in words of
encouragement and cheer. I recall
as I write, an instance where, by
prompt and timely interposition, the
representative of the stomach saved
me from a death of dreadful agony.
One day I came to a small stream
issuing from a spring of mild tem
perature on the hillside, swarming
with minnows. I caught some with
my hands and ale them raw. To
my taste they were delicious. But
the Biomach refused them, accused
the of attempting tb poison him, and
wpaltl not be reconciled until I had
emptied my poucb of the few fish I
had put there for future use. The
minerals in the spring had poisoned
them, and those that I had eaten
made me very sick.”
Never forget what a man has said
to you when he fe angry, ll he has
charged you with anything, you had
better look it up. A person has of
ten been started from a pleasant
dreadffesfif self-deception by the
words of an angry mail, Who may
wish his words unsaid the next hour,
but they are past recall. The
wisest course is to take home this
lesson with meekness to your soul.
It is a saying of Socrates that every
man has need of a faithful friend
and a bitter enemy ; the one to ad
vise, and the other to show him his
faults.
To be a man’s own fool is bad
enough, but the vam man is every
body’s.
Tho Farmsr—A Baautifil Picture.
BY HON. EDWAItD EVERETT.
The man who stands upon his
own soil, who feels that by the laws
ol the land in which he lives—by
the laws of civilized nations—lie is
the riglulul exclusive owner of the
land which he tills, is by ihe consii
lulion ol nature, under a wholesome
influence, not easily imbibed from
any other source. He feels —other
things being equal, more strongly
than another, the character of a
man, as tlie lord ol the animate
world. Ol this great and pnverful
sphere, which, fashioned by the
hand of God and upheld hy his
power, is lolling through ihe hea
vt n ', a j orlion is his ; his fom cen
tre to sky. It is the space on which
the generation belbre him moved in
ils round of duties; and lie feels
himself connected, by a vi-ihlc link,
with those who preceded him, as he
is also to those who follow him and
to whom he is to transmit a home.
Perhaps his farm has come down n,
him from his lalliers. Tin y have
gone to their last home ; bm lie can
irace their footsteps over ihe scenes
of his daily labor. The roof that
shelters him was reaied by those to
whom he owes his being. Some in
leresting domestic tradition is con
nected with every enclosure. The
favorite fruit tree was planted hy his
father’s hand. He sported in his
boyhood beside the brook, which
still winds through the meadow.
Through the field lies the path to the
village school of earlier days. He
still hears from his window the voice
ot the Sabbath In 11 which called his
lathers and lore-fathers to the house
<>i God, and near at hand is die spot
where his parents laid down to rest,
and where, when his time is come,
he shall be laid by his children.—
These are the feelings of the ownt r
of the soil. Words cannot paint
them, gold cannot buy diem ; they
flow out of the deepest fountains o 1
the heart; they are the life spring
of a fresh, healthy and generous na
tional character.
STRONG DRINK—A FABL3.
“I am hungry,” said the Grave ;
give me food.”
Death answered:
“I will send forth a minister ol
awful destruction, aud you shall be
satisfied.”
“What minister will you send?”
“I will send Alcohol. He shall
go in the guise of food and medi
cine, pleasure and hospitality. The
people shall drink and die.”
And the Grave answered :
“I am content.”
And now the church hells began
to toil, and the moimilul procession
to advance.
‘•Who are they bringing now?”
said the Grave.
“All!” said Death, “they are
bringing a household. The drunk
en father aimed a blow at his wife.
He killed the mother and child to
gether, and then dashed out Ins own
life.”
“And who,” said tho Grave,
* comes next, followed by a train of
weeping children ?”
“This is a broken-hearted wo
man, who has long pined away in
want, while her husband has wast
ed away her substance at the tav
ern. And he 100, is borne behind,
killed by the band of violence.”
“And who next?”
“A young man of generous im
pulses, who, step by step, became
dissipated and squandered his all.
He was frozen in the streets.”
“Hush!” said the Grave ; “Now
I hear a wail of anguish that will
not be silenced.”
“Yes, it is the only son of his
mother. He spurned her love, re
viled her warning, and a bloated
corpse lie comes to thee. And thus
they come ; furlhet than the eye can
reach, the procession crowds to thy
dark abode. And still, lured by the
enchanting cup which I have min
gled, the sons of men crowd the
path of dissipation. Vainly they
dream of escape, but 1 shut behind
them the invisible door—destiny.
They know it not, and with song
and dance, and riot, they hasten to
thee, O, Grave ! Then I throw my
spell upon new thiongs of youth,
and soon they too, will be with
thee.”
A colored member of the Texan
Legislature was recently seen with
a roll of greenbacks in his hand,
over which be chuckled so loudly
as to attract the attention of a by
stander, who said to him, “What are
you laughing at, Jim ?” Jim replied,
“You see that money ?” “Yes,”
“Well, boss, 1 just got that for my
vote. I’se been bought four or five
limes in my life, but dis is de fust
time I ever got de cash myself.—

A Beautiful Sentiment.
Life b. ars us on like a mighty
river. Our boat at first glides down
the narrow channel through the
playful murmuring of the ti t lie
brook and the winding of the grassy
borders. The trees shed their b'os
soms over our young heads; the
(lowers on the bank seem to offer
themselves to our young hands, we
iire happy in hope, and grasp eager
ly a» tlie beauti 'S around us ; hut the
stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty. Our course in youth
and manhood is along a wider and
deeper flood, and amid objects more
striking anil magnificent. We are
animated at the moving picture ol
enjoyment and industry passing
around us—are excited at some
short lived disappointment. We
may be shipwrecked—we cannot be
delayed; whether rough or smooth,
ihe river hastens to its home, till the
roar of the ocean is in our eats, and
ihe tossing of the waves is beneath
our feet, and the land lessens from
our eves, and the floods are filled up
aiound us and we take our leave ol
earth and ils inhabitants, until of
farther voyage there is no witness
save Infinite and Eternal.
Filial Esspect and Obedience.
We commend the following arti
cle to the attention ot our readers.
Its suggestions are eminently wor
thy to be seriously considered and
acted upon hy Sunday-school teach
ers as well as by parents. Self
control is of ihe first importance
with those who desire to be success
ful trainers of the young. —Sunday
school fCorker.
It becomes a most important,
question how best to secure that
obedience in children on which so
much that is noble and good, both
in the present and in the future lif ,
depends. In reply, let tne give
these lew and biiet directions.
Let parems deserve the respect and
obedience which they claim. If bv
prudent management and kind de
meauo<- toward them they inerii
their reverence and love, ordinarily
they will receive them. It is as
much the duty of fathers and rd til
ers to govern ihemselves pronerly as
to govern their children proper!v ;
mil let them bear ibis in mind, that
'hose who manage themselves the
best, find ihe least [rouble in man
aging I heir children. There is an
Arabic proverb which says, “Gor
reel thyself, that thou mayest cor
rect Olliers ;” which applies to ail
whose duty or desire is to rule. It
is very difficult thr some children
to respect their parents, attempt it
as they may.
Avoid harshness , which crushes
ike tender sensihuilies of childhood,
seals up the fountain of sympathy
and hardens the heart. B ■ careful
how you wound ihe feelings of a
child. All discipline and correction
should be administered without in
justice or unkindness. Domestic
tyranny is most detestable. Use
ess and oppressive severity makes
wilful, reckless and disobedient chil
dren. “Fathers, provoke not your
children to wrath,” stands in the sa
cred counsels as a guide and way
mark, to deter from a fault to which
fathers are more disposed than
mothers.
Kindly instruct them as to the na
ture of their obligations and duties.
They need instruction in all useful
knowledge, and in this certainly as
much as any. How shall they un
derstand these responsibilities unless
they are taught ? Why should you
feel a delicacy in urging upon your
children the duly of filial respect
and obedience? It is essential to
the comfort of parents, and vital to
ihe welfare of children that it be
rightly understood. Tell them what
they ought to know; but see that
you do this very early, as soon as
they can understand it; and also
that you do it kindly and patiently,
not with scolding and fault-finding.
Exercise a steady, and as far as
possible systematic government and
discipline. Endeavor with each
day to correct some fault and add
some virtue. Do not despair be
cause it is no better, and abandon it
entirely. As far as possible, how
ever, be uniform and equable. Do
not correct with severity to-day a
fault which is overlooked to-morrow,
nor punish in one aa act which pas
ses unnoticed another. Too ma
ny parents govern and correct ac
cording to their caprices rather than
the real desert of the child. This is
shameful. If they are out of tem
per, much annoyed, or much en
gaged, they are very severe. If in
good spirits, and much at ease, they
will allow serious faults to pass un
repioved.
Therefore, correct and train thy
son discreetly, and the fruit of thy
labor shall appear; “he shall give
delight unto thy soul.” The pleas
ure of having good children is a
crown of honor and gladness to pa
rental care and toil. Simonides said
of wives—*“A man can obtain noth'*
No. 29.
iiig better than a good one, and
nothing more horrible than a bad
one.” So I say of children. I re
joice with those whose quiver is full
of the good, and pity those whom
the bad afflict.— Mothers' Journal.
A MOTHER'S POWER.
A moment’s work on clay tells
more than an hour’s labor on brick.
So work on hearts should be done
before they harden. During the
first six or eight years of child-life,
mothers have chief sway, and this is
the time to make deepest and most
endearing impressions on the human
mind.
The examples of material influ
ence arc countless. Solomon him*
self records the words of wisdom
that fell from a mother’s lips and
Timothy was taught the Scriptures
from a child by his grandmother.
John llandolph, of Roanoke, used
to say: “I should have been a
French athei.-t, were it not for the
recollection of the time when my
departed mother used to take my
little hand in hers, and make me say,
on my bended knees, ‘Our Father
who art in Heaven !’”
‘‘l have found out what made you
the m in you are,” said a gentleman
one morning to President Adams;
“1 have been reading your mother’s
letters to her son.”
Washington’s mother trained her
boy to truthfulness and virtue; and
when his messenger called to tell
her that her son was raised to the
highest station in the nation’s gift,
she could say :
“Gporge always was a good
boy.”
A mother’s tears dropped on the
head of her little boy one evening
as he sat in the doorway and listen
ed, while she spoke of Christ and
His salvation.
“'Those tears made me a mission
ary,” said he when he had given
his manhood’s prime to the service
of the Lord.
Someone asked Napoleon what
was the great need of the French
nation.
“Mothers!” was the significant
answer.
W oman, has God given you the
privileges and responsibilities of
motherhood? Be faithful, then, to
the little ones; you hold the key of
tiieii hearts now. It \ou once loose
it, you should give the world to win
it back; use your opportunities be
fore they pnss.
And remember little ones, you

Eating too Fast.
Eating too fast generally involves
eating 100 much—more tliati is need
ed for the support and nutrition
of the body—and the reason for
this is, that the organs of taste,
which are our guide in this matter,
are not allowed sufficient voice;
they ate not allowed lime to take
cognizance of the presence of food
ere it is pushed past them into the
recesses of the stomach. They do
not, therefore, have opportunity to
represent the real need of the sys
tem, and hence allow the crowding
of the stomach.
1 hold that thirty minutes should
be spent at each meal, and spent,
too, in chewing the food a good por
tion of the time, and not in contin
ued putting in and swallowing, but
in pleasant chat and laugh, instead
of the continuance of the intense
nervous pressure of the office or the
library. If you lay out to spend
thirty minutes in this way at your
meals, you may rest assured you
will not eat too much, and what you
do eat will be in the best condition
for appropriation to the needs of
your system. You will be healthier
in body, happier in mind, and more
vigorous of brain—for there are lew
things that so clog the brain aa a
meal of half eaten food put into the
stomach.— Dr. J. H. Jackson.
