CROSSING THE RIVER.
There is a stream whose narrow tides
The known and unknown land divides,
Where all must go ;
Its waveless waters, dark and deep,
In sullen silence downward sweep,
With ceaseless flow.
I saw where, at the dreary flood
A smiling infant, prattling stood,
W T hose hour had come ;
Not fearing ill, it nearei the tide ;
Sank—(as to cradle rest) —and died,
Like going home.
Followed, with languid eye, anon
A youth, diseased, and pale and wan,
And there alone
He gazed upon the laden stream,
Yet feared to plunge—l heard a scream !
And he was gone!
And then a form in manhood's strength
Came bustling on, till there, at length,
He saw life’s bound;
He shrank and raised the bittfcr prayer—
Too late! His shrieks of wild despair,
The water drowned !
Next stood upon that surgeless shore
A being bowed with many a score
* Os toilsome years;
Earth-bound, and sad, he left the bank ;
Back turned his dimming eyes—and sank—
Ah ! full of fears.
« How bitter must thy waters be,
0, Death! How hard a thing--Ah !me 1—
It is to die;”
I mused, when to that stream again,
Another chi and of mortal man,
With smiles drew nigh.
“ 'Tis the last pang,” he calmly said,
“ To me, 0, Death ! thou hast no dread ;
Saviour, I come!
Spread but thine arm ou yonder shore
I see. Ye waters, bear me o’er,
There is my home.”

Manufactured News.
We called attention the other day to a
Chicago custom of manufacturing special
dispatches from the South containing varie
ties of falsehood. The Louisville papers
have since exposed a large number of addi
tional dispatches of the same kind. The
truth is apparent that many papers at the
North are now daily filled to overflowing
with these dispatches. There seems to be
no limit to the magnitude of their falsifica
tion. Gen. Swayne, of the Freedmen’s Bu
reau in Alabama, complains of the syste
matic dissemination cf items at the North,
apparently by one person, detailing all sorts
of sensational occurrences. “ The scene,”
he says, “ is generally laid in Mobile, and
the atcry is uniformly without foundation.”
The General may be right a3 to one person
manufacturing the Mobile falsehood, but
the probability is otherwise. It is a con
firmed habit of newspapers representing one
shade of politics, whose object is to discour
age reunion and iinbitter sectional feeling,
to rival one another in the publication of
sensation stories about the South. For
years before the war the readers of these
papers were deceived in this way. The
game custom prevails still, and there are
scores of men who employ themselves in
manufacturing the stuff which is thus spread
before the public.
The habit of judging an entire people by
specific instances of wrong-doing is so gen
eral that it pays well, for political effect, to
circulate these stories. A long and sensa
tional account of a murder in Alabama or
Mississippi is read with avidity, and ac
cepted as a proof of the utter demoraliza
tion of the entire State in which it is said to
have occurred.
A careful sifting of the truth from the
falsehoods now current leads to the convic
tion that the average of moral goodness and
peaceable living is not higher at the North
than at the South. If we were to judge by
specific cases, we should bo compelled to
give judgment against the North in the
comparison, for the issues of the press from
311 parts of the North come to us with ac
counts of riot, arson, murder, and every
crime known to the law. But these ac
counts are not to be taken as proving the
character of tho entire North. The truth
is, there is ample work at home for those
who devote their energies to improving the
moral condition of their follow-men, wherev
er home may happen to be. We were rid
ing in a railway car iu the Connecticut vak
ley from Springfield northward on the 4th
of July last, aud had an opportunity of see
ing some of the young men of that part of
the world, for they crowded the train in the
evening on their way home from celebrations
at various places. We have not for years
heard such an outburst of profanity and in
decency as made the car in which we rode
hideous for an hour between Bellows Falls
and the stations north of it. About fifty
young men were in the car, mostly half
drunk, and, notwithstanding the presence of
several ladte?, the boisterous lauguage and
conduct ol those ycun- men indicated the
most thorough debasement of character
Certainly there 13 ample room for the labors
of good men among this class in the Con
necticut valley Bet it is not to be imag
loed t -at t e valley of the Con
necticut is any worse in tliis regard than
other parts of the country. W e have stated
the fact only to show that it is desirable for
all parts of the country to “ look at home.”
The war has unquestionably produced a very
bad effect on the general standard of moral
ity in the country. Young men have sha
ken loose from the old religious and social
restraints. Politics has usurped the place
of good morals and of religion even in the
pulpit, and it has been plain for three years
past that the old influence of the country
church and country pastor over the young
people of the congregation has been very
generally lost. It would be nonsense to say
that the South has not suffered in the same
fanner. All parts of the land are much
alike. But the people of the North have
now otter work to do and more important,
than correcting Southern sins. It is time
for fhem to correct their own. Let us have
done with this business of governing our
neighbors, and look a little to the govern
men of our own communities. Especially
let us have done with mourning over the
crimes which politicians stfy our neighbors
are committing, while we adopt the Phari
saical plan of thinking ourselves so much
better thau other men are. —Journal of
Commerce.

Bleeding from the Nose.
Some two years ago, while going down
Broadway, in New York, blood commenced
running from my nose quite freely. I step
ped aside and applied my handkerchief, in
tending to repair to the ncar<st hotel, when
a gentleman accosted me, saying, “ Just
put a piece of paper hi your # inouth, chew
it rapidly, and it will stop your nose bleed
ing.” Thanking him rather doubtfully, I
did as he suggested, and the flow of blood
ceased almost immediately. I have seen
the remedy tried since quite frequently, and
always with success. Doubtless any sub
stance would answer the same purpose as
paper, the stoppage of the flow of blood
being caused doubtless by the rapid motion
of the jaws, and the counter action of the
muscles and arteries connecting tho jaws
and nose.
Physicians state that placing a small roll
of paper or muslin above the front teeth,
under the upper lip, and pressing hard on
the same, will arrest bleeding from the nose
—checking the passage of blood through
the arteries leading to the nose.— Cor. Sci
entific American.
How to Cook the Egg Plant. — An
“ Old housekeeperseuds the Country
Gentleman a West India receipt for cook
ing eggplant: Take the skin from the egg
plant, cut it in slices of about a quarter of
an inch thick, round the egg, Begin with
the first cut slice —shake on some black
pepper and a large saltspoon of salt—add
the same to each piece, and place them on
the top of each other. If a large egg make
two piles. Put them in a deep plate, and
cover with another plate, on which place a
flat iron, or any weight. Let them stand
two or more hours. Put a piece of butter
in a frying pan, and when hot lay in the
slices of egg plant, and turn them to be
brown on each side. Serve hot. The fol
lowing styles of cooking egg plants are sug
gested by Moses Greenough : “ Purple ones
are best. Take them fresh, puli'out the
stein, par boil them to take out the bitter
taste, cut them in slices an inch thick, with
out peeling them, dip them in the yolk of
an egg and cover them with grated bread,
a little salt and pepper. When one side
has dried, cover the other in the same way;
then fry them a nice brown. They are very
delicious. The egg-plant may be dressed
thus; parboil it after scraping off the rind,
cut a slit the whole length and take out the
seeds, fill the space with rich, fine meat,
stew it in well, eat with seasonable gravy,
or bake and serve it up with gravy in the
dish.”
Delicate Seed Cookies. —Two cups
of sugar, half cup butter, half cup milk,
one egg, tablespoonful of fresh carraway
seed, cream of tartar and soda in the usual
proportions—mix lard with flour, roll very
thin, and bake quick.

of their merits:
Wesleyan Female Coll bob, \
July 19th, 1866 |
Numbers Four. Five and Six of Goodrich’s New Ae
ries of R aders, edited by Noble Butler. A. M. have
been in use in this Institution since the year 1860.
It gives us plea-ure to testify that they have given us,
not mero'y satisf ict on, but a high degree of delight,
so admirably do we find;th>m adapted to this purpose.
Remarkably characterised by vivacity and variety in
tho sele tions, and by clearness in tho directions and
the rules that they contain ; they have added to the
reading exercises of our classes that interest and de
light which properly belong to them and which we
consider essential to rapid improvement
It has been my privilege to examine Eutler’s Gram
mar, and lam free to slate that I consider it one of
the very best Gramm irs that we have. Following the
same general plan as Bullions it is, in many points,
decidedly superior to that work. I feel assured that
after a fair trial of Butler, nearly all of those teachers
who are now using Bullion’s would permanently sub
stitute Butler.
The handsome and intelligib’o style in which the
cf Jno. I’. M r’on & Cos. get up their School
Books, constitutes no small recommendation to their
adoption.

prof svtrn’s opinion of the arithmetic.
A striking feature of Towne’s Arithmetic, is that it
contains no superfluities.
Most of the Arithmetics are cumbered with many
thing* which the pupils never earn, and are never ex
pected to learn. Prof. Towne has studied co 'densa
ti»n and brevity in the enunciation of rules, definitions
and principles, and he hasshowti this seldom if ever,
at the exp mse of clearness. Percentage with its ap
plications, is pr* sented in a manner new and origi
nal. but very clear and satisfactory The chapter on
Ratio and Proportion is an excel ent one. We ven
ture to say that it is inf. rior to the corresponding
part of no work in tre in this country. Upon the
whole, wo think that this book is entitled to a place
in the first rack of Arithmetics, and we shall rejoice
to hear of its generaliintroduction into our schools.

PROF. POLHILI.’S TESTIMONY.
Orange Street School, I
Macon, Ga., July 20th, 1866. J
It gives me great to recommend to all in
structors of youth, the whole Series of Goodrich’s
Readers, edited by Noble Butler. A. M. I have used
all of them in my school sim-e 1858, and find them bet
ter adapted to the use of schools, than a y books that
I have used during an experience of fourteen years
as a teacher
The chief recommendation of these Books, is the
easy gradation of the series from number one, to six,
by wnich the pupil is led almost imperceptibly, from
the simplest lessons, to reading from the best English
Classics. To learn to read rapidly and well, tne pupil
must readunderstandingly, aad far this purpose these
Books excel all others that I have used.

LEGE, ADDS HIS TESTIMONY FOR THESE BOOKS.
Young Ladies’ Academy, 1
Macon, Ga., Ju'y 21st, 1866. f
It affords me p'easure to commend such books as
are adapted to the wants of our school*, at the pres
ent time. Asa teacher of Young Ladies lor twenty
years, it wou’d nave saved me much labor to have
had. what I now regard as treasures, in ‘ the Primary
and Practical English Grammar,” and the series of
School Readers (Goodrich’s first to sixth) edited by
Noble Butler, A. M. These books are severally suited
to the purpose intended. The Grammars fill a place
uusuppbed before. Toe Sixth Reader alone, or in
connection with Bronson’s Elocution, cannot fail to
faci itaje the plans of instruction in this delightful and
beautiful art.
I have just examined and am delighted with the
Arithmetic and Algebra, by Prc f. Towne, and shall in
troduce them at once into my school.
