TURNWOLD, GA., NOVEMBER 24, 1862.
Janies and liis Mother.
(fob the children.)
James oue day asked liis mother why she
did not want him to fish all the time, hut
to stay at home, and learn to spell and
read.
His mother told him he must learn to
spell and read, so that he might be wise.
But James did not know the meaning of
wise: and so he asked his mothei what
wise meant.
His mother said, Did you not ask me
how ships sail on the sea 1 And what the
stars are made of? And how the earth
turns round ?
James said that he did ask his mother
about these things, and that he would like
very T much to know.
Then his mother said, Well, James, 1
wish you to study part of the time, and
learn to read, so that yon may read books,
and find out all that you wish to know.
You may go fishing sometimes: but you
must not fish all the time.
Charles IX. of France.
“ This prince was only 10 y T ears of age
when he was crowned. His mother, Cath
erine do Medicis, mentioning her apprehen
sion that the fatigue of the ceremony
might be perhaps too much for him, he re
plied, ‘Madam, I will very willingly under
go as much fatigue, as often as you have a
crown to bestow upon me.’ When ilie
Constable de Montmorenci, died, theyoung
prince, then only' 17, did not immediately
name another person to that high oflicp,
saying, 'I will carry my own sword, in fu
ture.’ And to his mother, who wished to
keep him undei her own direction, he saiu,
‘That he would no longer be kept in a box,
like the old jewels of the crown.’
Them'STOCLes.—“ When Themistocles
was a boy, he was once, on returning horn
school, met by Pisistratus. ‘Stand out of
the way,’ said the master of Themistocles,
‘ and give place to the prince.’ ‘ Wh*t!’
replied the boy boldly, ‘ has he not room
enough?' ”
Pupil of Zeno—“A youth named Ere-
trius was for a considerable time a follower
of Zono. On his return home, his father
asked him what be had learned. The boy
replied, that would hereafter appear. On
this, the father being enraged, beat hisson,
who bearing it patiently, and without com
plaining, said : ‘This have I learned—to
endure a parent’s anger.’ ”
“ Not all who discharge their debts of
gratitude should flatter themselves that
they are grateful.”
“ Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays
to virtue.”
