HISTORY OF snoiiliu.
INHERITED WEALTH.
A STORY FOR PARENTS.
Timothy Chandler wa6 five and-thirfy
years of age, and he had a w ife and four
children. His oldest child was a boy, four
teen years old—for Tim had married
i young; while his youngest was a girl of
six. His wife was one of those busy,
j tidy, loving women, who seemed raised
up by heaven to show to a degenerate
; age. how much the wife and mother can
! do tow ard making fiteside- heavens on
ieaiili. f J im was a cooper by trade, and
no man could have askeu for a heller bnsi-
j ness than he had it in liis power to com
; mat d. And Tim was one of those kiud-
liear’ed. generous, free spoken, impulsive
men, who can so easily engage the love
and esteem of their fell. ws.
But Tim had faults. lie had some
very had faults, lie was a discontented
mortal; and he was a convivial mortal.
He envitd those who possessed more
| worldly wealth than did he; and lie spent
a large portion ot his own effects in the
j company of riotous companions. In short,
j Tim was becoming intemperate, ft was
j to he seen in tlie unsteadiness of his step ;
j in the unnatural flush of his cheek; and
in the dying light of his once clear, bright
•ye. And. alas! it was to be seen in his |
j once happy home ; but unhappy now. It
| was to he seen in the fading of the bloom
! upon liia wife’s fair cheek ; in the tears
j that stole down her drooping lashes; in
! the sighs that broke from her heaving bo-
; sons ; and in the look of deep unrest that
j often dwelt upon the faces of his elder
] children. And it coul I be seen, too, in
j the foot-maiks of a desolation that was
j beginning to ere* p around the cottage,
i “Timothy,” said his wife; it was early
in the morning, before tlie children were
up; “Joseph and William must have some
j warmer clothing. r J he ground is begin-
j ning to freeze and they suffer.”
j ‘That’s easier said than done,’ replied
Tim, in a rough, uneven way. ‘ ± hey’ll
j have to wait till I can make a raise. Con
j found it! why was not I born as other
j folks are born ? Why wasn’t good luck
The lir»t mode of using tobacco tn England i in u, y star ! \\ by wasn’t there a fortune
that we used to take a glass together be
fore you moved away fmm our town,
though not often.’
‘I never drank much,’ resumed Carle-
ton ; ‘and finally I quit it entirely. I’ll
tell you how it was. It was a very sim
ple affair ; hut still, in our journey through
life we shall find that circumstances, very
trivial in themselves, sometimes exert
wondeifnl influences over us. My parents
were vprv poor, as yon must remember;
but they left me with a good education,
and many good lessons of life. As I grew
up I longed to lie rich. Close bv ti e lived
John Boditon. lie had inheri'ed great
wealth from bis parents, and fb titislied in
grantl st\le. I eti' ied John Boynton.—
When I thought how easily lie came h\
his money, 1 was almost disheartened at
my own prospect : and very often 1 found
myself complaining because nn - parents
bad not h-ft me something with which to
make a start in the wot Id. 1 married,
and went into business ; but »lie old com
plaint was upon me. 1 dreamed of Alad
din’s lamp, and of tlie magic ting, and
spent half my time in wishing that I had
them ; and fluting all this time 1 was in the
habit of using intoxicating drink 1 did
n’t drink much, though I often drank more
than 1 ought.
‘Well, one day I picked up a paper
front my na:ivc town, and saw therein
that John Boynton was dead. Aye—
more than that; he had died poor and de
graded, and his children wete left entirely
destitute. 1 heir mother had died of a
broken heart a year before. And this w as
the end of a man whom 1 had so envied.
Ilis wealth was all gone—lie was gone—
and all that his children could inherit from
him would be shame and sorrow.
‘I went home and reflected. 1 saw my
wife and children sitting by the hearth,
and I fancied that I could detect lines of
sorrow upon their faces. I w alked out
into the pale moonlight, and inv thoughts
ored and respected ; while, as counsellor
and guide, to the young and fo the mid
dle-age, none stood higher than did lie.
Timothy Chandler had not been able
to lay up much money for his children ;
hut did he not give to them for an inheri
lance something of far greater worth—
something nearer the worth of heaven?
Ah—did he not ?

1 he secret of the disappointment of the
Xortherneis and of tln-ir strange display
of temper is to be found, we think, in that
constant distegard of international cour
tesy which lias distinguished suceeessive
governments for many; years. Elated by
the rapid growth of (heir wealth and popu
lation; by successful attempts on the ter
ritory of their neighbors, and by the
knowledge that England depended on
them constantly for cotton and periodically
for food, the American pe< pie have ac
quired a habit of petulance, and almost
of insolence, in their dealings with foreign
powers, which now affects their judgment
—usually clear and sound—in questions
of constitutional right, it is the old fail
ing of despots, whether on a throne or in
private life, that they look on those who
disagree with them as questioning their
veracity or insulting their character. So
with tlie Americans, it seems to us, front
all we can hear nnd read, that they really
came down to a plain, practical issue. 1 ! and truly believe that England is c«m-

dwelling at Islington, aftei wards an inn, known
as the Died Bull, with a tobacco plant upon the
top. It was the first house in England in which
tobacco was smoked. The celebrated tobacco

Fairfax C. H., June 25th, 1661.
I must lay beturc your readers the history ot tiie
csptuie of Capt. Kellogg, ot the Second Con
necticut Regiment, by two gallant young Ken-
tuckiaus, members ot a company of six w ho ure
here trom Ken ucky, acting in ihe capacity of in
dependent scouts. It seems that this party wero
neat Falls Church, where they had been concealed
tor two days and nights, waning fur an opportuni
ty to seize a.squaJ of pickets posted at Flint
who bad been born with fortunes.
As time wore on I iui Chandler became
worse instead of better, liis wife suffered
more, and his children suffered more ; aud
be, too, suffered more. liis shop was
much of the time neglected, and his in
come was so small that he had none for
his home. His wife worked hard with
her limp and her needle, while he spent a
great part of liis time at the village tavern.
And as Hannah Chandler sat by her
work-table during those long winter even
ings, w ith her children craw ling close to
the lire to warm their shivering bodies,
she prayed continually for her wayward
husband.

asked myself; shall I have an inheritance
to bequeath to my children ? When I am
gone, shall those loved ones inherit any
thing from their father which shall be of
value to them in their great work of life ?
And I said to myself: I may not leave
them money—1 may not store up tor them
a hoard of material wealth; but I can
leave for them that which is better; I can
leave to them a father’s name unsullied ;
a father’s honor untarnished ; and a fath
er’s life after which they may copy with
safety.
’1 went back to my home, firmly re
solved in my new course. I kissed my
w ife and children ; and when I retired, I
piayed that (Jod would give me streiigh.
And from that moment I have not faltered.
1 cast away the cup and its association
forever ; I ceased to envy those who might
be richer than myself; aud am now at
xvoik, with hand and heart and soul, to
lay up for my children an inheritance
which cannot lie lost to them by any re
vulsion of earthly fortune. Now- yott
know why I tefused to drink with you.
And surely you forgive me.’
‘More, more than that,’ cried Webber,
reaching forth his hand. ‘I f.ngive you ;
and 1 bless you for the lesson. From
this time forth I am with you. 'J he last
cup has been pressed to my lips; the last
convivial hour is passed. Here, in this
warm grasp, is my pledge !’
'J lie host came in. and the two guests
arose and left the room. In a little while
r l im Chandler glided down from the
bunk, and moved toward to the door.
In the entry be met a number of bis
boon con panions, who were just in for a
time.
‘Hi lo ! where now Tim ? Conte; join
us. W hat’ll y e bate ?
•Not now ; i.ot now,’ ieplied Tim.
•Then ci me and take a glass.’
•No; not now.’
And with tliis’Tim ( handler hurried
out of dtinis. ’ihe si.ow-iiaik was Laid
and smooth, nnd the air was simp and
tutting. But T mi noticed not ihe cold.
He walked slowly, tin.rightfully on, ever
and anon mntteing to himself, wiili liis
head bowed, and bis bands clenched.
Finally, when he had ci me within sight ot
bis own cottage, be sti pped. and spoke
almid. He bad been thinking deeply,
calmly, and solemnly, and bis decision
had been arrived at with clear comprehen
sion and firm purpose.
‘Tim Chandler can leave liis children
an inheritence!’ he said, with his feet
planted fiimly, liis swelling breast thrown
nobly out, and his head proudly erect
‘These arms ate stunt; this heart is strong;
and this biain can be clear again. As
(iod lives, ami sufleis me to live, my chil
(hen shall have an inheritance which will
not cause them to blush for the father who
left it!’
Carleton made one convert that night
of whose existence, even, he did not
know.
Timothy entered bis house, and sat
down by the fire. Ilis wife was alone,
and had been weeping. He dared not
speak then, hut suffered her to retire with
the weight of sorrow still upon her. And
llaunah Chandler slept, aud dreamed, and
did not dream of the angel that had come
to her home.
In the morning Timothy was up first.
When his wife came out he bad a warm I
witting a most hostile? act by refusing to
treat tlie Southern privateers as pirates,
and that the English press takes an un
warrantable liberty when it discusses the
possibility of an ultimate, disruption, or
even speak of Mr. Davis as “Piesident of
the Confederate Btates.” It has been
represented that the violence and captious-
ness.of American diplomacy during the
last 20 years have been the work of
Southern politicians; but whoever planted
or watered the bad seed, it has certainly-
grown up to full luxuriance iti the North;
lur tlie opinions expressed on every side,
and reported fo be held by tlie Cabinet at
Washington, are as unjustifiable as any
ever advanced in tlie palmy days of the
Union. '1 lie Americans, accustomed t
make tlieir own interest and feelings tlie
standard of international law, to repudiate
whatever was inconsistent with their claims
to universal dominion in the New World,
to support atone time the claims of au
thority, at another the indefeasible rights
of existing majorities, to cite precedents
or to defy them, as it suited ihe cause
they favored, are now, in all innocence
and w ith full belief in tlieir own consis
tency, holding within six months two op

expecting Englishmen to change tlieir

And did Hannah help him? Oh! liow
she loved and cheered him—how she clung

the music of its angel voices!
Aud Timothy Chandler went forth to
carve out the inheritance for his children.
His arm was strong, and so was his heart.
Ilis soul was firm, aud so was his purpose.
‘I he years crept on apace, and the frost
of age was upon his brow as white as

bers, or superior weapons, will decide the
victory. But amongst undisciplined vol
tire case is very diderent. ’1 h
superiority will be determined by two
causes—^first, the habfts of the soldiers-
second, the moral influences acting on them.
The habits of an agriculture people are
very different ftoin those of a manufactur
ing or commercial people. The field labor
of tlie former, in the open air, v and gen
erally in isolated industry, gives a hardi
ness and self-relience not common amongst
laborers in cities or factories. Soldiers
taken from the fields aie, therefore, gen
erally superior to those taken from cities.
But if the agricultural laborer is also a
huntsman, his superiority is greatly in
creased. To be tamilliar with the gun
and horse, makes him more enterprising in
character, and his aim more deadly in
battle. But the second cause, the moral
influences which act upon the volunteer,
is also a great source of disparity. A dis
ciplined soldier i« a machine. The cause
for which lie fights, he knows or cares
nothing, lie fights generally just as web
in obedience to the behests of a tyrant as
at the call of his eountiy to defeud its
liberties. The volunteer enters, of his
own accord, into the strife of battle. He
lias motives which uige him tn this entei
prise of danger nod death. The Northern
hoi ties which overran and conquered Italy,
were \ oiuutecis actuated with the motive#
of plunder and conquest* The people of
Holland, in the heroic struggle again-t
Phillip, were actuated by tlie love of lib
erty and the «iesire of national indepen
dence. Gain and ambition are undoubt
edly strong motives of action, and have
been those which have usually produced
war amongst nations. But a free people,
defending their country and homes, and
contending for their liberties, have the
highest and strongest motives for devotion
and heroism which can actuate a people.
Under equal circumstances, they must lie,
from the moral influences, operating upon
them, unconquerable.
Let us apply these observations to the
war now being waged between the United
and Confederate States. It is a war of
volunteers, and both sides can get as many
men as are needed, up to 500,000.
1. The volunteeis of the Confederate
States are from an agricultural people.
Tt ey are more They aie front an agii-
rultural people habituated lo the use of tho
horse and gun.
Tlie volunteers of the United States,
now threatening Virginia, are rhieflv from
the cities and factories of the North, who
know neither how to ride a horse or shoot
a gun. \Ye therefore infer that the volun
teers from the Confederate Stales are
superior to the volunteers of the United
States, and that, consequently, it iseleatly
the policy of the Confederate States to
fight, whilst on bmli sides the opposing
aimies consist of undisciplined volunteer#.
To postpone battle until the volunteeis of
tie United States become disciplined
soldiers, arid tints equal to the tioops of
tlie Confederate States, is not good poli
cy-
But the second cause which gives vic
tory to armies—the moral influences which
gorem them—gives also the Confederate
troops the superiority. r J he Northern
troops, like the Gotlis and Huns of foimer
days, are fighling for gain and plunder.
The Confederate troops aie fghtii g for
their hon es, tlieir country nnd llnir lib
erties. Discipline may help the burner,
but lannot. in tlie same degree, aid the
latter. ’I he undisciplined tioops of France,
during the existence of the Republic, did
not require discipline. The nioinl impul
ses which urged tin m on in tlie defence of
France and tlieir liberties, supplied all the
defects of discipline. Discipline, in *at t,
might have made them inferior soldiers, by
substituting the drill, with its iiksome
delay and tedious labor, for the “noble
rage” of free men. Here again the moral
influences which actuate the Confederate
and the United States, would seem to make
it the imperious policy of the Confederate
States promptly and energetically to urge
on the contest of war. Delay does not
wear out calculation of gain; but it may
wear out that enthusiasm which, “taken at
the flood leads on to” victory.

The War Polity of (he South.
Nothing would have been easier than for
Viiginia and Maryland, or for Virginia
alone, to have prevented the inauguration
of Lincoln in Washington, and thereby to
have driven or confined the new- adminis
tration north of Mason and 1 iixon’s line;
and, for the first month after the inaugura
tion. h few thousand Southern troops
might have readily expelled it from Wash
ington. Every day since then it has been
strengthening its position, and introducii g
troops for defence faster than tlie South
has levied them for assault. Nothing is
more certain than that, if we had forced
them to fight, without discipline on either
side, we should have whipped them, noth
ing more doubtful than whether Northern
or Southern men make, the best regulars.

Happinesss.—Now* let me tell y’ou a se
cret—a secret worth hearing. The look
ing forwatd to enjoyment don’t pay.
From what I know of it. I would as soon
ciiase butterflies for a living, or bottle up
,m-ionsbine for cloudy nights. The only
true happiness is to take the drops of hap
piness as God gives them to us every day
of our live#; the hov must learn to be hap
py- when he is plodding over liis lessons ;
the apprentice while he is learning his
trade; the merchant while he is earning
his fortune. If he fail to learn this art,
he will jfe sure to miss his enjoyment when
he gains w hat he sighs for.
Influenza in Horses.—A veterinary sur
geon, in the Ohio Cultivator, says his fa
vorite and most successful tonic for this
disease, is tincture of iron iu two drachm
doses, twice a day, oat meal or corn meal
gruel with a little brandy, wine, or good
rve whisky, say about three ounces to a
quart of gruel, to be given twice a day;
any mucilaginous drinks would be proper
at any time of tbe day.
How to Cure Headache.—Anna Ilope,
who is good authority, writes the following
for tbe Ohio Farmer: “I must give you a
recipe for tbe cure of headache, which has
travelled all the way fn m tbe Sandwich
Islands to me. It is for an external ap
plication, and is said to be efficacioua:
(tne ounce of common salt, one wine glass
ful of spirits of camphor, one wine glass
ful of ammonia; put in a quart bottle and
fill with rain water.
