72 the countryman. 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.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
