Roys’ and birl.-,’ lliitj. I want to express a few thoughts and ideas to the hoys and girls, and more especially to the girls. Girls, lu-lp your mothers in the kitchen, learn to cook, ar.d learn to do all kinds of house work. After you have learned the art of cooking, then go ahead and do it without your niothrr's sid; and then if you should have company conic in at meal lime when your mother is absent, tiien you can go on and prepare your meal w itIn,ut your mother's assistance. And now. girls, next comes the wash tub! Don't say that you can’t wash, or that it will ruin your hands to wash, for even if it does cause tin in to look a little rougli its no disgrace. You can't make a living without vork and trouble. Sweep the rooms every morning, make the beds, and dust i he mantelpiece and bureau. Gi:ls, all this is your duty. It is also your duty to keep your broth ers clothes in sufficient order for wearing, as well as y our own. for they want to look nice as well as you do. Keep everythiug in its proper place; it is just as easy to keep things in their proper places as it is to let them lie scattered here and there. Why not learn to do all this first as last? And now, girls, last of all, don’t think it burdensome to woik in the field. Its no disgrace l<|| me to go litlp my brothers hoe the cotton, and then after it is iqs-ned to help them pick it out. Help them to gather the crops, to pick the seed ground peas and tiield peas, help i-hein to plant and replant *lhe corn, anti help to carry the fodder io the stack pole, and even if it • lees sling your neck a little, it won’t last always. Boys, if you want to keep yoor name up instead of down, lie mild, live honest and truthful; don't lie over |iersuailed by ajerowd of wild rattling boys and join in with them, and take their word and run your credit down. If you will live to be honest truthful anil obe dient you will have a good charac ter. for your character cannot be ruined by your own acts. Never play cards or gamble; it you do it now, quit it. Your name will be res|ieetcd ss much so as yourself. And another tiling, if you will never take a drop of intoxicating liquor you will never lose any thing by it. Leave off all of your bad habits, quit chewing and us ing profanity, aod you will be re- s|ieeted much more. Try to live to be fit for that world to come, where all tears shall be wiped *»ay- C. T. Foil lid After .Many Years. One of the few remarkable cas es of reunited families that occa sionallv find their way iutu pub lic print lias just come to notice here, and yesterday Mr. V. II. Dyer, of ibis eily. departed for Brallleboro, Yl., to meet a broth er who lias been lost for thirty-five years. Accounts ot this case in the family of which Mr. Dyer is a member, have found their way in to eastern pa|>cis. and the tale is one of interest. Thirty-five years ago a family was travelling through Rochester, Ntw York, which attracted the attention of Mr. H irani Robbins, of that place. The family consisted of a care worn man, an insane mother, a boy and a girl under six years of age, anil a baby boy. The man was travelling toward Vermont to place his wife in an asylum, ami to get his helpless child'en among friends. Mr. and Mrs. Robbins, taking pity on the man in Ills troubles, kindly oflered to take the baby boy and ejrc for it until the father returned. The offer was gladly accepted and the child was left, the father staling that his name was Frank Dyer. Mr. Dyer then proceeded on ills journey, placing his wife in the asylum at Brallleboro, leaving the other two children with their grand parents, and himself returning to the IVest. Meantime Mr. Robbins raised the cba:ge left to his care, and tiie father dying in the West never re turned. Of the other two i-hil dren the girl grew to womanhood, married and lives at Biaitlcboro. to be near her mother, who is yet alive, and the boy. now V. II Dyer, came West years ago, where he has lived except on occasional visits baek East to see bis sister and mother. The child left at Rochester, on reaching manhood, became a conductor on the New York C'ential, and of late years has been a Rock Island conductor on their road’s line in Nebraska, many readers of the Bee undoubt edly being acquainted with Frank Dyer. Through all these years the mother in the asylum has in rational moments remembered the baby left behind, and for this t eas on the other children, loo young at that lime remember much of their little brother, have cnnslaol If (ought for Hie lost baby, but supposed the foster parents had given it the name of Robbins, and bare looker! tor a person of that name. Frank Dyer has also searched for his lost parents, but the death of the father ismoved all traces and nothing was known until a few weeks ago, by accident, through an acquaintance of both The infant daughter of Fria- revealed the identity of tbe mar •was Beatrice ami Prince deary of ried meter, lire.

Correspoadeeee quickly settled the facta, end two weeks ago Conductor Dyer joined bis sis ter in Vermont and Mr. V. H. Dy •r, the ntaaining member of the family, was telegraphed for to this 1 city. Before leaving for tbe East yesterday he told the Bee that a letlet received from his sister in Vermont the day before, elated that the Inst brother had visited the aged and insane mother at the asylum, and the instincts of the mother had recognized her boy. who, in her lneid hours, she had mourned after for thirty years.— Lincoln (Sth ) Dispatch la Oma ha Bee. • A Hovel Fight in Bid-Air A dispatch from Ellison, Pa, says that Saturday an immense hawk, which bad for some days been trying in vain to swoop down on Simon Clay's poultry yard and capture a chicken, pounced upon a Maltese cat that was sunning it self in the back yard. Tbe hawk lifted the cat easily enough, and was moving away when the cat re covered from its aurpriae and be gan to squirm and claw. Featb ers began to tumble oat of the hawk in showers, and the big bird, winch hail reached a height of 100 feet with its unusual prey, seeing ■-hat it bad caught a Tartar, loosed its taioas and the cat drnp|«d to ward the earth like n plumb bob The hawk mast have been woefn! hungry, for it swooped down on the cat and seized it before it reached Hie gronn-1. That was a good thing for tbe cat, for if it had struck the earth at the rate it was going all nine of its lives wonld have gone ont -at once. But this second capture was bad for the hawk. He grabbed tbe cat near the tail and bad hardly recovered himself sufficiently to begin his upward flight, when tbe cat, fltled with fury, twisted aroand and reached for tbe bird with her paws. She caught the big bird’s throal in her teeth and set tbe claws of her fore feet deep is the feathers of his neck. Thai was the end ol the fight. The hawk pounded and flopped with his great wioga, but it was uteles*. Ilia wind was effectually shat off, and he But tered to tbe ground with the eat. and ky the time the two reached the earth tbe big bird was in bis last gasp. Tbe interesting and novel fight in mid-sir wan wit nessed by several, and when they reached the spot where tbe com batanls came down tbe cat ant by the side of its vanished foe com placently licking the wound* which the hawk’s talons bad made, which were deep bet not serious.

Edward Arnold's new ’Death—and Afterwards,’ Svafhnrard (he Course of Emigration Takes Its Way. It is a significant anil well known fact llict no example can he found within the historic period, of a great emigration from a Southern to a far Northern lati tilde—from a mild and genial to a comparatively bleak and uneon genial region. Our great Ameri can traveler, Bayard Taylor, when once suffering from the boreal bl sts of Northern Norway, or Lapland, wrote that all inhabi tants of the temperate zone who had visited the tropics, always af terwards cherished a longing de sire to return to those sunny climes; lull that those who were once compelled l** drink from the icy chalice of the extreme North turned suddenly away forever! The Persians were a Northern people,longing for the pleasant val ■eys of the Euphrates and Tigris, aud under their repeated and use less encroachments the Asyrian pnwei at last gave way. Rome, both as a Republic and ns an Empire, was compelled to l><- ;crpetually on guard to save her Mediterranean possessions from the occupation of armed migratory hordes from the North; and the internal decry of her power was the signal for these hordes to break through the feeble barrier which then opposed their advance and spread themselves over the fuircsl part ol Italy, Gaul and Spain. Byzantium ultimately fell before the assaults of the Turks, of whom, up In that lime, almost nothing was known, except that they had swept down from some Northern country, with a fierce thirst for the sunny plains of Asia Minor, and for the beauli ful and luxurious places on the Eunqican side of the Bosphorus. The Saxon and Dauisli invasions of England and Ireland were simply armed immigrations; anil in each ease the immigrants were more northern Ilian the country in which they sought a new home. It would almost seem, indeed that all tbe wars of the old world, which may lie called natural, as distinguished from dynastic, po lilical or religious wars, have orig inated in the desire of northern imputations to improve their eon •lition by settling in less rigorous elimales, anil on lands of mole bountiful and varied production. The Romans carried arms aud arts into Britain, but did not plant a Roman population there; and, al though they held the borders of the Rhine for centuries, they left little that was Roman there, save traces of their military encamp menls and fortifications. But Northern conquest, south ward, has almost invariably car ried Northern population with it. It is true that it has often, in old en limes, seemed more eager and hungry than ambitious; and as exhibited in the history of the tu mulluous upheavings of Europe which followed the downfall of the Roman empire, it would appear to represent in a gigantic phase the old. inextinguishable grudge which poverty has ever been ready to wreak ti|H>u plenty and supera bundance. The circumstances of content porary civilization mar, and prob ably do. greatly modify the princi plea above indicated, but they cannot be altogether suppressed while human nature remains as it is. That they are alive and now in operation throughout the United Slates is beyond question. There is scarcely a neighborhood in the colder and more inclement tbe better it will be for onr coun districts of the North and North try. We would not advise one to west in which hundredsof persons In this conned ion it is humiliat ing to reflect that not a few of the small South American States, no tsbljr the Argentine Republic, Uruguay, etc., have by the great wisom and liberality of their re- cent enactments in regard to set tlers, attracted large numbers of farmers, cattle raisers, mechanics, etc, from Germany, Italy anil other portions of Europe, and that late productions of grain, beef cattle, hides, etc., have shown the most marvelous increase and ad vancement in all that adds to the commercial importance, power and wealth of nations.—Harper * Magazine. Farmers and Farming. A friend said to us the other day that a recent tisil In the coun try saddened him—the people were so pour and downcast. That is true in some neighborhoods. Indeed, in nearly every jioiiion of the country there arc farmers whose land and slock are plastered all over with mortgages, and it is only a question of time as to tlieir ultimate surrender of both to the merchants who hold them in thralL Bad seasons and short crops have aggravated their woes and they are at the point of giving up now. All this is depressing and lorn-lies the heart. We do hope and pray that another trial will bring them relief—that more favorable seasons will cause the earth to produce in abundance and fill their hearts with hope and tlieir barns with plenty. But it is by no mesns true that farming is a non paying business, where one is unt of debt and owns his land anil and slock. In such a ease, diver sificalion of crops is sure to result in eventual pros|ierity, if not in present gain. We can point to thrifty homes all over the county of Trou|i—homes in which we baveheen entertained and in which good cheer crowns the board and a cordial hospitality brightens the hearthstone. These belong to the people who raise, in the main, their own supplies and do not pledge their land and fruits to the middlemen for the necessaries of life. They may have no great amount of cash on band, but they possess Us equivalent in the pro ducts of their industry, which keep their families above the apprelien siou of want, even in the midst of foreclosures ail around them. The their number is increased. begin farming now on lease* 1 land ami with mules and etceteras for which it is necessary to go in debt. Of course, persons of un usual ability and energy may sue ceed, even with these things against them; but it is tbe excep lion and not the rule. Belter work for wages, make your money aod begin your venture upon n solid Tbe chances ot life are thus set •town: Out of every 1,000 men 25 of them die annually. One half those who are I torn die before they attain tbe age of 7 years. Tbe asea able to bear arms form a fourth of lha inhabitants of a country. More old men ara fonnd is elevated situations than in val leys and plains. Tbe number of inhabitants of a eily or county in reaeoad everv thirty yearn. Tbe proportion between the deaths of women and those of men in 100 to 103. The probable duration ef female lives is CO years, bat after that period the calculation is more favorable to them than to men.— JA are not dreaming of soon or ulli irately finding a home in the “Sunny South.” And the same feeling is manifest among a large number of emigrants who arrive in this country from the north of Europe. Swedes. Norwegians and Danes are attracted to the mild region of the “lower South," and it is little wonder that a climate so benign, aod a country so pro ductive aa Florida, should seem to these exiles from the land of mist and snow an earthly para dise. Previous to our civil war, the “peculiar domestic institution” of tbe South operated as a bar and hindrance to European emigra tion; and even aiace the war, oar people, though seemingly anxious to encourage immigration and to dispose of their millions of wild and idle land, bane failed to ad just their prices to tbe aetael val ue of their lamia, and have in many ways neglected the proper mesns of secnrlag the large infnx ei in- dnetrions workers and baaM mak ers an essential to the prosperity, waiters and The Boston Journal of Com merce gives a list of the mills and factories in process of construe lion, or about' to be commenced in the country. The total number mentioned is forty four. Of that number thirty are south ef tbe Ohio river. We have anew south indeed or rather the same old south with new energy.—En quirer Sun. Rev. O. H.

Historian Raucroft’s tireat Library. The largest private library in Washington is Bancroft's, and it is by all odds the most valuable. It contains over 12.000 volumes, and Bancroft lias another library at Newport. It takes tour large rooms to bold bis Washington li brary. and the walls of these rooms are lined with eases. They have no covering ol either glass or cur- tain, and on many of the shelves the hooks are two rows deep. Among them are many rare and carious volumes. He lias a copy of Dun Juan which Byron gave him with an autographic pre sentation in it, and lie has auto graph letters full of matter nml historical interest from the lend ing statesmen of the country. He has fine engravings, and has cop ies in manuscript volumes of the secret records of France and Eng land relating to this country*. These cost a mint of money, and Bancroft was aided in getting them by Hie governments of the two countries. His books con tain volumes of all languages, and his history has been transla ted into several different tongnes. He sleeps in his library and lias a little table beside his bed with two wax candles upon it. There is paper. |>cn anil ink upon this, and if a thought strikes him at night he rises anil jots it down, lie continues to buy books and his library is already so Taluabla that an attempt will probably lie made to obtain it for the govern ment at bis death.— Washington Letter. He Had a Corner on Monkeys. A merchant in Marseilles once wrote to a correspondent on the coast of Africa asking him to send him at bis convenience two or three monkeys of the rarest and most valuable species. As ebanee would have it the merchant, in slating the number wrote the on (or) between the figures 2 and 3 with a very small o and (diminu tive u. Huw great events may issue from small causes will ap pear from the sequel. A few months passed over, when at last a messenger was sent from tbe harbor to inform the merchant that bis menagerie had landed. “My menagerie was tbe aston ished reply. “Yes, a menagerie; in fact, a whole cargo of monkeye has come for you.” Tbe mer chant could not believe the man until a letter was delivered to him from bis friend in Africa, a per son of the meat scurupoloue ex actness. in which lie gravely apol ogized for his having been una ble, notwithstanding all his ef forts, to procure more than 160 monkeys, instead of 203 as order ed, but promised to forward the remainder as soon as possible. Imagine (he feelings of the chant on going down to the to convive him,elf with his eyes of the existence of his monkeys, which were all forlahly housed and which grin ned at him through the bars of iheir cages. It was one of those moments in a life-time when n man hardly knows whether to laugh or to weep.—Gazette in Midi. port own ISO
