True Heroism. Let others shout o’er battles stout And twine with flowers the saber. And sing sweet strains of trodden plains, Where Death's fell harvesters labor. It may be courage that impels The soldier to fight frisky ; It takes more of true heroism To drink this modern whisky. The classic roosters used to prate, And call old Ciesar a hero : If that is so, the inference is His frau must have been a *hero. The old Roman cuss was some in a muss. And conquered many a nation, And yet I tbiuk his nerve would shrink To run a Florida plantation, Old Hannibal, too. was a soldier true, • And cut a huge swell in battle ; He didn't heed the roar of gups any more Than a yeftf.ifad baby’s rattle. He fit and (!t.‘ like a terriei pup. And never his flag did furl, Yet I donbt if he’d had the necessa; y pluck To marry a modern girl. Which is why 1 remark that courstge true Don’t flourish atone in battle. And fiod its home where sftbres flush. And cannon’s roarand muskets rattle ; But may be fouud iircommon like. True courage which notbi’g can smotb’r Such as eating hash, with the hair left in. Or boarding with one's wife’s mother. L'Eni a.nt rt.itou. - Modern Warfare. —If official figures are to be credited, less than 10,000 Germans killed oat right in the late Franco-Prussian war. All the ingenious means of destroying life, perfected unde? the patronage of Verbnel Napoleon, were used to sweep away the invad ing Prussians, and yet but and some odd yielded up their lives on the soil of France. It would appear that the more destructive the weapons of watfaie, the less the average number of killed. Iu bibli cal times, when men fought handto. hand with the battle axe and spear, and chariots with sylhes swept over the martial plain, it was not unusual for hundreds of thousands to be slain in a single day. In a battle between the petty nations of Israel and Judah, live hundred thousand of the former are recorded to have fallen by the hands of their brethren. In the battle of Apulia, betweeu Hannibal and the liomaos, 50,000 of the latter were slain. Osesar slaughtered nearly a million of Gauls in his conquest of their country.— In the more recent battle of Leu>si«, when modern arms hud astuiued what was then considered perfect tion, over 100,000 of the French and allies, were killed and wounded. At Waterloo ■B'j.OoO were killed and wounded ort the side of fjje Allies.— In the desperate battle of Antietam, Maryland, the 10- : s in killed and wounded of both sides exceeded 32,000. Though hundreds of thou sand men were contending in the Franco-Prussian war, not a single battle was as sanguinary as that be tween the Union and the Confeder ate forces at Antietam, not to men tion a dozen others of our battles. Henry YTard Beecher speaks of the crow as follows ;—Aside from this special question of profit tind loss, we have a warm side toward tire crow, he is so much like oue of ourselves. He is lazy, and that is human ; he is cunning, and that is human. He takes advantages of tho F-i weaker than himself, and that is manlike. He is sly, and hides for to-rnoirow what he can’t eat to day, showing a real human provi dence. He learns tricks much fast er than he does useful things, show ing a true boy-naturc. He. thinks his own color the bes*,jmd loves to hear his own voice, which are emi nent traits of humanity. He will never work whetr he can get anoth er to work for.him —a genuine hu man trait. He eats what ever he can get his claws upon, and is less mischievous with a belly full than when hungry, apd that is like man. He is at war with all living things except his own kind, and with them when he has nothing else to do.— No wonder men despise crows.— They are too much like men. Take off his wings, and put him in breech es, and crows w ould make fair av erage men. Give men wings, and reduce their smartness a little, and many of them would be almost good enough to be crows. Family Pbayee.— A father writes to the Examiner and Chronicle ask ing how to mako family worship palatable to young children. This journal suggests wisely and well in reply : that it should bejbrk-f; that the Scriptures read andjhe prayers offered should be adapted to the capacity of the little ones; and that they should be allowed to partici pate, at least so far as (0 sing and repeat the Lord’s prayer in concert. These are excellent suggestions aud we have seen them all Tarried out with signal effect.— Christian Ad vocate. £S*Thc Chicago “Tribune” asks and receives twenty twe thousand dollars for a column of advertise ments one year. The business men of Chicago are keen to tuy it. There is one house in Cincinnati that pays four thousand dollars 1 week for ad vertising. There are several in Cleve land, even, who pay as high as ten thousand dollars a vea - . Somehow, these men don’t break up ; a liberal advertiser never does. The little bill for tl». expenses of the Britisb-Ameriean Claims Com*, mission was presented in the House kn Wednesday. It imeants tg 02,- \oo. Rag Carpels. Making rag carp'ets seems to be quite an important branch of indus try among economical farmers’ wives and daughters, and a few suggestions in regard to their man ufacture may not come amiss. An Ohio lady gives the following, which may be useful to farmers’ wives. She snys : Put none but strong rags in, for it does not pay, and the economy in a rag carpet is not in the first cot, but because it will out-last anyy. ti can buy. It is not at all necessary to cut or tear the rags off at each end of the piece, but tuVn the ear ners, rounding them off neatly, or it will make the carpet rough. When I have finished otic piece and com menced another, I sew. the ends to gether, and they are all ready to wind up, so they are sewed tip as fast as they are ent. I think it very discouraging to have ten, or twenty pounds of rags, all in amass, as they are almost sure to be, to be sewed. The cotton rags I sew and reel into skeins before dyeing ; the woolen ones 1 dye in the piece. I prefer prepared'warp, and always try to get some I Cannot break. Avery pretty stripe for carpets is made by taking two contrasting or some bright color aud white,(we have crimson and white), cutting the rags in piecbs five inches long and sewing the colors alternately. the weaver to be a little careful iri weaving it and make into clouds or steeple. I like clouds the best. It is very pretty when jus# woven in as it comes. I have one stripe that l tied the ski ns of white rags with new unblen,h f d factory for two or three inched' 'v< intervale of six or seven inch . u&: dye it dark blue. It is very pr and not much work. To Dye Blue—For eight pounds of rags make strong solution of one pound of alum. Dip the rags |n this first, then a few’ at a time in a small quantity of wafer containing Prussian bine, then add * line more of the blue to this water, and in this water dip a few more rags, and so on. Required about £ight ounces of Prussian blue. This is much bet ter than oxalic acid to set the color. It is "cheaper, more durable and of a brighter color, and the acid will injure the goods. To Dye "Yellow—For eight pounds of rags take twenty-five 5 ounces of bichromate potash and seven ounces sugar W lead Dis solve the bichromate over night ir warm water, warm tne d)e, dip first in the sugar of lead solution ; four gallons of water to ca; h.

Dissolve the Bi chromate oi potash in soft-water to covet the goods; put them in and let theuEiremain an hour nt scalding heat, air them, and wadi in and dry. Cochineal—To one pound yarn stir briskly into water enough to cover it, one ounce c'oam of tartar. When the heat has increased a fit tie add two ounces powdered cochi neal.

Rinse welt in cold Fat ato Leas Peoelu. —lt is a striking fact that most pet sons want to weigh more than they on, and measure their health by their weight, as if a man was a pig, valuable in proportion to his heaviness. The racer is not fat ; the plow horse has but a dnoderate amount of fle#h. Heavy men are not those which ex perienced contractors emploji’to oiifßr railroads and \iig ditches. Thin men the world all over are themen for work ; for endurance, they are wiry and hardy ; thin people live the longest; the truth is, fat is a disease, and, as proof, fat people are never well a day at a time, and are not suited to hard work. Still, there is a medium between being as fat as abutter ball and' thin uqjl juiceless as a rail. For mere look, a moderate rotundity is most desirable, to have enough 3?£’vto cover all angularities. To accomplish this in the shortest time, a man should .work but little, sleep a great part of the time, allow nothing to worry him, keep always in a joyous, laughing mood, r«.>.l live chiefly, on albuminates, such as boiled cracked wheat and rye and oats and barley and corn, with sweet milk and buttermilk and meats. Sugar is the best fattener known.— Halt's Health and Good Lining. Two Irishmen, one sultry night, immediately after their arrival in India, took reftfge underneath the bed-clothes from a skirmishing par ty of mosquitoes. At las*, one- oi them gasping from heat, - ventured to peep beyond the talwiu-ks, and by chance espied a fire fly which had strayed into the room. Arousing his companion with a punch, he said, “Fergus, Ivrgns, it’s no use. Ye might as well com * out ! Here’s one of the crAyihers searching for us v wid a laute: :V ; A wit once asked a peasant, what part he performed in the great dm ma ol life. “I mind a-r own busi ness,” was the reply. Hecidedly Good. Will Carlton,the rising.young poet, in aa editorial poem, thus tells how a farmer took a youngster ot his to a tnkiting office to be made into an editor ; being fit else: The editor sat in his sanctum, and looked the old man in the eye Then glanced at the grinning young hopeful, and mo&rniully made this reply: “Is your son a small un boned edition of Moses and Solomon both? Can he compass his spirit with meekness, aud strangle a natural oath? „ Can he leave all his wrongs to the future, aud dairy his heart m ljis Cheek ? ’ ; . .. Can he dean hour’s tvork in a rrihrafce,- and live on sixpence a week ? Can he courteously talk to an equal, and browbeat an iiupude.nt dunce? Can bo keep things in apple pie order, and do half a dozen at Can he press all the springs of knowledge with quick and reliable touch?’ : . - . j And be sure he knows how mueli to know, and knows how to not know too much ? Does he know how to stir up his virtue, and put a check-rein on his pride ? Can he carry a gentleman’s man ners within a rhinoceros’ hide? Can he know all, and do all and 'be all, with cheerfulness, courage :.ud vim? v : .* If so, we perhaps can be making an editor out o’ him. ’ The farmer stood curiously listen uiug while 'wonder his vision o’cl' spread; Aud he said, “ Jim, I guess we’ll be noin’, he’s probably out of his head.” .

Conley, the father,.exercises by the grace of an accident tbe functions of Gover ju r. He signalizes his reign by a revolutionary opposition to the Leg islature constitutionally finishing the needed legislation of the State.

Conley the Ist inaugurates a war fare against the Legislature through the offensive agency of the State temples of Cloaciud.

The next morning they were to be examined on the same. Tbe first man was called up. Said tiie prose isor : “How would you-go to work to survey a lot of land?” (Deep th uking, but no answer.) “If a mail ss>uld come to get you to survey a : it of land, what would you do ?” “i taiiik,” said the student, thonghlfTy, “I should tell him he had better get somebody else.” — Amiris’on an noticing a lady pass ing down the street, espied two strips suspending from under her mantle.

A great deal is written about the importance ot training our daugh tens to be experienced cooks, what ever their position in life is likely to be. And that usually means, we should teach them to prqparen great many dishes iti a’ most mafvjylous way, requiring unlimited time and patience, not to mention very gene rous supplies of ingredients. Now it may be valuable, at times, to know all about- these curiously made dishes,” but for every day use it would be well for us to tone down our children’s tastes. We should strive to give them a taate for simple dishes, prepared to per fection rather than for elaborate, highly seasoned ones. Skill in simple riookery is one of the finest and most useful accom plishments a young lady can have. — Let her graduate in the art of bread making, taking in the whole depart ment. Nothing conduces more to the health of a household than good bread, and every family likes a va riety in this article. She has here a wide range fur ingenuity. Simple mashed potatoes nicely Seusoued with cream, salt and pep per, are much better, and more wholesome than raw potatoes pared round and round, like shavings, and boiled in lard uutil they are brown and crisp. They may not look quite so fanciful, but 1 think any hungry man would prefer the mash ed potatoes. Let the gills learu to cook well; not to set on potatoes when they are watery and half cook ed ; nor beefsteak which has soak ed half an hour in lukewarm fat.— Let them learn to cook all these simple things perfectly, and then it will be time enough for fancy dish es. Oh! there is such a world of com fort around tables where simple things arc done well. The children grow up with wholesome tastes, that no after years of luxurious dis sipation can wholly rot out. They will have sounder bodies and more vigorous constitutions than the children of luxury, aud will escape many temptations which highly sea soned dishes are apt to lead them into. Poisonous Paper* A gcutlman who has had fourteen years’ experience ouThe mutter re garding which he now directs the attention of the public, makes the appalliug statement not only that— as has long been generally known — green papers for house walls con tain arsenical preparations which for years may evolve poisonous par ticles, but that arsenic is used not only in papers containing green, but frequently, and even in large quan tities, in paper of all colors, even in some that are nearly w hite. As his authority, he quotes “an eminent analytical chemist, late lecturer on chemistry at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital”—(this must be either Dr. Steuhouso or the late Dr. Matth iesen) —to whom lie sent papers of many colors —dark- bv own, buff, white, blue, and various delicate shades of gray, drab and mauve— which, from tne symtoms to which they apparently gave rise, were suspected ot containing this metal. The results of analysis, were that in every instance, the papers which w r ere taken from bed-room walls contained arsenic ; and clearly indi cate that “it is impossible for any one, professional or otherwise, to judge by tbe eye whether a paper contains arsenic or not, or whether much or little.” The indications of poisoning caused by the paper containing only a little arsenic w-ere clear in each case. After fourteen years’ suffering (with few’ intervals) from arsenical poisoning from this source, the writer whose scientific position and power as an observer is vouched for by the editor of the British Medical Journal, who pub lishes the paper—has given up hav ing paper on his walls, and the at mosphere of his rooms is, he says, far purer than it was. If distemper or oil paint be substituted for paper, care must be taken in the selection of the pigments, many of which also contain arsenic, uod have proved very injurious.— Once a Week.
