About Fretting.
Fretting is unpleasant. It springs from sin
pleasant feelings. It is attended a itli unpleas
ant looks. It is accompanied with unpleasant
tones of voice. It gives to the one w ho frets,
and to everything almut him, an unpleasant
appearance. And especially does it make the
one at whom the charge is directed feel ex- j
ceedingly unpleasant. Everything about fret- j
ting is unpleasant.
Fretting is unprofitable. It is no benefit to
him who nets; (unless perhaps lie feels some
what relieved, as when ipecacuaiia lias taken
its desired effect.) It is of no benefit to any
who may chance to hear it. And certainly it
can lie of no benefit to any w ho do not. And
hence it is a benefit to nobody. And hence it
is unprofitable, which was to be shown.
Fretting is ungenerous. It is doing on our
pail, what we do not like to have done. It is
treating others as we do not like to lie treated.
Fretting indicates a narrow, sordid mind, and
a soul shrivelled and contracted. Generous,
magnanimous souls do not condescend to stoop
to what is so low. Fretting is repulsive and
it is expulsive. It mukes those about us wish
that they or we could be somewhere else. We
read somewhere, that “it is better to dwell in
the corner ot a housetop.” than “in a wide
house" witli certain individuals; and there is a
good deal of truth in “Proverbial Philosophy,”
especially the “ancient edition.” To illustrate
this point still further, it is said that certain
quadruped* dieaffect certain others, and turn
them out of doors, simply for the reason that
they have a way ol making their ow n presence
not agreeable.
Fretting is undignified. To give way to
frelfulness is unbecoming the dignity of a ra
tional being. Little perplexities, or great ones,
should not lie allowed to ruffle the mind and
make a fool of the tongue. A proper self-re
spect does not allow this. Example; Sir Isaac
Newton was above fretting. Once,on l-aving
his study, his little dog upset his lamp, and
thus destroyed tile manuscripts of some of his
great works which had cost him the labor of
years. On returning, mid seeing what was
done, the great philosopher did not fret, but
calmly said to Ins little dog. “Diamond, thou
little knowest the mischief thou hast done me,” i
and as calmly went about repairing his loss.
Fretting is unchristian. It is unbecoming in
any, and especially in those who hear the Chris
tian name. It is an unpromising symptom. It
argues badly. The Christian religion does not
beget fret fulness. Christ does uot fret, norap- I
prove o! it in his followers. Fretting does not
deserve even to be called the dust which flies j
from the wheels of the celestial chariot. Ha
bitual fretters have yet the “Hill Difficulty” i
to climb before they get up to the "Higher
Life.”
Fretting is unnecessary. If it is unpleasant,
and unprofitable, and nngenteel, and undigni
fied. and unchristian, what can lie urged in its
favor? If nothing, then it must be unnecessa
ry. And if unnecessary, why practice it?
Why not at once make an end ot it—have it
exterminated? When there is so much that is
good, what need have we of that which is evil ?
It was an old dilemma of the school men, “There
are two things wc ought not to fret aSiut—
what we can help, and wliat we cannot." If 1
we are fretting about what we can help, then
help it. and stop fretting. Hut if we are fret
ting about wbat we cannot help, then fretting
will accomplish nothing: and we may as well
stop. In either ease fretting is unnecessary
and unavailing.—iCongregationalist.
Horrors ol the Thirty Years’ War in Ger
many.
If a place lay between two armies, both
parties had to he asked for sala ,/i/r<//<i. and
both parties lived by agreement, in peaceful
intercourse, at the expense of their host, lint
■uunities were so fortunate as to Ik- able to
preserve even this unsatisfactory protection;
for it was necessary for the army to live.—
When a troop of soldiers entered a village or
country town, they rushed like devils into the
houses wherever the dungheaps were the larg
est, there the greatest wealth was expected.—
The object of the torture to which the irhab
itauts w ere subjected, was generally to extort
from them their hidden property; they were
distinguished by special names, as the “Swed
ish fleece” and the “wheel.” The plunderers
took the flints from their pistols, and forced
peasant's thumbs in their place; they rubbed
the soles of their feet with salt, and caused
goats to lick them; they tied their hands tie
hind their backs; they passed a Bodkin,
threaded with horsehair, through theirtongues,
and moved it. gently up and down: they hound’
a knotted cord round the forehead, and twist
ed it together with a stick: they Imund two
fingers together, and rubbed a ramrod up and
down till the skin and flesh were burnt to the
bone; they forced the victims into the oven, lit
the straw behind them, and so they were
obliged to creep through the flames. Haga
mutlins were everywere found who bargained
with the soldiers to la-tray their own neigh
bors. And tiiese were not the most horrible
torments.
Thus did the army misbehave among the
people, robbing every house,devastating every
field,till they were themselves involved in the
general ruin. And the destruction of these
thirty years increased prodigiously. It was
the years from lttlo to 1041 which annihilat
ed the last powers of the nation; from that
period to the peace a death-like lassitude per
vaded the country; it communicated itself to
the armies, and one can easily understand
that the misery of the soldiers called for some
consideration tor tlie citizens and peasants.—
[Pictures of Life in Germany.
A young man asked his father for some
money, as he wanted to go out of town to re
cruit his health. ‘Recruit your health!’ ex
claimed the old captain. ‘Well,then, sir, here's
a dollar; that is all we pay for recruiting in
the army.’
The Open Window.
“ T.ittle Charlie is dead!-’
I repeated the words very sadly, and though
J no audible voice from tlie tree-top above me
had spoken them, I glanced upward to the
windows, which for fourteen days had been
i wholly darkened; shutters and curtains were
' withdrawn at last, and the fresh breeze and
golden light drilled freely in.
I knew that on tlie couch where Charlie had
tossed and moaned, parched with fever, and
I smitten wit h grit* vous pain, there lay only an
altered, stiffening shape which we had loved
and pitied as “ our Charliehut the real being
whose gay young life made beauty all around
it, was not there. One w iser and more pitying
than ourselves hud called tlie little liny, and in
the night he had arisen, saying, “ thy servant
hearetb,” and gone outward to walk with tlie
Lord.
It was an exquisite morning in early au
tumn. Not a cloud vailed tlie intense blue of
the sky, luminous with depths of sunshine;
and beneath every tree scarlet and purple ,
shadow s played, while tlie wind, swaying their
branches, seemed to call up tender memories
from each warm, sturdy heart. “Dead!” I
echoed the word as, lingering by the half-open
gate. I hesitated to enter it. In tlie glad day
overflowing with brilliancy, what room was
there for so dark a syllable?
Charlie was tlie child of a neighbor, a beau
tiful and winn ing little spirit as ever sojourned |
in human clay. Full of restless precious life,
the light links ol existence were fretted away |
by the ceaseless strain and jar of the imprison- !
ed soul. We knew that he must leave us, but
forgetful of previous warning, the death of my j
favorite came to me with the sharp pang of I
an unheralded woe. Regaining with an effort
a degree of composure, I entered the house of
mounting. The hush which severe sickness
imposes, the shadow of a mystery yet to be re
vealed, which envelop a dwelling so consecrat
ed. were exchanged for the dread certainty of
helpless gtief. Charlie was dead!
How many times during the past fortnight
had 1 entered that room, whose repressed
sights and sounds were familiar? With what |
painful forebodin 1 lingered in its gloom, ;
which typified the cherished hopes j
that here perj i I crossed its thresh- '
hold 1 half bear the stilled moan
ol the siek _ (did; but lie breathed •
an air which"?, fckiiess poisons, and tin* body
was at rest forever. What change had a few 1
hours wrought in this apartment! The soft, j
rich air of the Indian summer stole through ,
the windows no ioncrer guarded, and tin*, sun- !
shine stretched its golden beams upon the
floor and walls—further, it slanted across the
pure linen that was ((tided above the sleeper,
and to the delicate features and sunny hair
gave somew hat of the glad vitality of life.—
Every leaf fluttering, every bird-note, every
w liisper of the wide world w ithout, spoke of
rejoicing. " 1 shall go to him,” said my heart
responsively, and I could almost weep tears of
gladness that the gill of immortal youth was
so early granted to Charlie.
A new train of thought passed my mind as,
standing by the dead boy, I watched the play
of light ami shade around the small couch so
long veiled in darkness.
While yet there remained the uncertainty of
lilt- poised in tlte scales of Eternity, ‘.lie turbid
waters of affection were stirred to blackest
agitation with every dreaded possibility.—
Through this oppressive atmosphere every
shi’ing hope which centered ill Charlie’s exis
tence Itail gleamed forth in sudden, stinging
remembrance—all the joy that had been; the
laith outl,Hiking to years of developed man
hood. Now coldly and dreatily rose instead
the vision of scenes that w ere to Is—the dying
agony; the slow, cruel formality of the funeral
rites; the desolate home. ” All is of God;”
but the struggle between natural affection and
the obedience which yields calmly lo his de
cree, is olten of great severity.
Trembling hope ami fear were alike subsid
ed now. and in their stead rose the pale cy
press blossom of peace.
Yes, the open widow, the signal of sorest
loss, was also the avenue of richest gain; the
healing breath of heaven, and its baptismal
light, were they not messages to ttie spirit of
the deepened experience attained only through
tears? We clasp the hands whose grasp is
loosening with redoubled earnestness. Our
love cries out madly as its idols fade; but
when filially removed beyoud the reach of hu
man yearning, we remember Who it w as that
said, “ Thy brother shall rise again.”
Long nffer the autumn earth bad gathered
in the form of Charlie, like one of its own
spring-flower lives, sweet and brief, the histo
ry quickly told, 1 recalled the lesson of that
silent hour's teaching—that one which death
was intended to convey, of infinite gain.
Not only tin- empty cage, when our singing
birds have flown—not only the dreary tomb
where we have lain our dead away—were they
not heart-broken mounters w ho,bending dow n
to the sepulcher's edge, saw the grave-clothes
cast aside, and angels watching where lie had
rested ?—[Independent.
An Actor's Advertising “Dodge.”
A Berlin letter in one of the Loudon papers
tells this curious story:
“I cannot conclude the present letter with
out mentioning a little incident that occurred
hen- in the course of the present week, anil in
which an ingenious rogue has verily out-Bar
nutiled Bariiii.ii. A member of the company of
players at Kallcubacli's theatre was to have a
benefit night: and the question was how to
get together a good audience, as the usual at
tendance at that place of amusement, even if
doubled, would produce far too slender a sum
to satisfy the expectations of a lieueflt night.
Accordingly some days before the memorable
evening, there appeared in all the B rliu pa
pers an advertisement to the following effect:
• '.\ gentleman, win. lias a uitee ami ward possess
ing a disposable property of tifteen thousand tlialeis,
together wall a meieautllo estahlisliineut, desires lo
Itnd a young man w to. would to-ul.lt* to manage the
bustio —s amt become the hu.-banil ol the \ oung Jadv.
t he posse siou of property or other .jualiticatiul.s is
no object. Apply lo
Hundreds and hundreds of letters poured in
in reply to litis advertisement- On the morn
ing of tin- benefit day each person who had
sent a reply received the following note: “The
most illlliortni.t noilll is. ol* com-so th-.t o.i.i
should like one another. 1 and my niece are !
going to Kullt uhaeh's theatre this evening,
and you can just pop in upon us in Box No,
1.' Of course the theatre was crammed. All
the boxes, all the best playing places in the
house were tilled early in the evening with a
mostly male public, got up in a style which is
seldom seen at the royal opera itself. (Basses
were levelled on all sides in the direction ol
box No. 1, and eyes were strained to catch the
first glimpse of the niece, w hen she should ap
pear in company with the uncle. But uncles
are proverbially ‘wicked old men;’ ami in the
present ease neither uncle nor niece were to lie
found, and the disconsolate lovers—of a for
tune—were hit to clear upthe mystery as best
they could. The theatre has not had such an
audience for years, and of course the chief
person concerned reaped a rich harvest by the
trick.”
The Storm or Life.—Life bears on like
the stream of a mighty river. Our boat at
Hist glides swiftly down the narrow channel,
through the playful murmurings of the little
brook, and winding along its grassy borders,
tlie trees shed their blossoms over our young
hands; we are in hope, ami we grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us, but the stream hur
ries us on, and still our hands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is along a
wider and deeper Hood, and amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are animated
by the moving picture of enjoyment and indus
try that is passing before us; we are excited
by short-lived success, or depressed and ren
dered miserable by some short-lived dlsapoint
ineut. lint our energy and dependence are
both in vain. 'i lie stream hears us on, and our
joys and griefs are left behind us. We may he
shipwrecked, but we cannot anchor; our voy
age may he hastened, hut we cannot he delay
ed; whether rough or smooth, the river hast
ens towards its home; the roaringof the w aves
is beneath our keel, and the land lessens from
our eyes; the floods are lifted up around us,
and we take our last leave ol earth and its in
habitants, and of our future voyage, there is
no witness but the infinite ami the eternal.—
[Bishop Heber.
The Liverpool Post of the 2d has this
paragraph:
A meeting at Staleybridge shows that the
working classes are not of tlie same opinion as
their betters on the subject of the American
civil war. The object of the meeting, over
which the Mayor presided, was to declare in
favor of the South, and petition for interven
tion: but a resolution was carried by 100 to 1
blaming the rebelion of the South for all the
evils now being suffered by our manufacturing
districts.
Wounded and Killed.—It takes but lit
tle space in the columns ol the daily papers;
but O, what long household stories and biog
raphies are every one of these strange names
we read over and lorget!
“Wounded and killed.” Some eye reads the
name to whom it is as dear as life, and some
heart is struck or broken with the blow made
by that name among tlie list.
It is our Henry,or our James, or our Thomas
that lies with liis poor broken limbs at the
hospital, or white, still, and with ghastly face on
tlie battle-lioid. Alas! lor the eyes that read;
alas! for the hearts that feel.
“He was my pretty boy, that I’ve sung to
sleep so many times in my arms!” says the
poor mother, bowing in anguish that cannot be
uttered. “He was my brave, noble husband,
the father of my little orphan children,” sobs
tlie stricken wife, "lie was my darling broth
er, that I loved so, that I was proud of,” mur
murs the sister, amid tears; and so the stroke
tails on the homes throughout the land.
“Wounded and killed!” Every name in
that list is a lightning stroke to some heart,
and breaks like thunder over some home, and
falls a long black shadow upon some hearth
stone.—[Home Magazine.
Shocking.—At-Springs, a fashionable
watering place, recently a guest was discover
ed bathing his feet in the spring one morning,
which, as the water was used on the hotel ta
bles, caused great indignation among the
boarders, and said “gu“st” got “tits” from the
two hundred ladies and gentlemen. One young
miss said she guessed that was what gave the
water its peculiar healing >|uuiitie*. but those
who did not see it in that light skedaddled.
’ "You are at the very bottom of the hill.”
said the physician to the sick patient, “but I
shall endeavor to get you up again.” “I tear
I shall lie out of breath before 1 reach the top,”
was the reply.

TODD'S Ll\\ SOLIS
H A I FL_ DYE!
THE market has l»een flooded for years with differ
ent articles called Hair Dyes, which have never
satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The >e
plus ultra has been reached at last in TODD'8
HAIR D1 E, ami the article ha* given eutire satis
faction to every person who has used it. It contains
no injurious ingredient*, and gives the hair a beauti
ful rich brown or black color. Directions for using
—which are very simple—accompany each bottle.
One superiority ot Todd's Lux Sofia Hair Dye over
all others is, you do not have to cleause the hair or
wash it be tore or after using the dye. and there is but
cue kind to be used, and that can be put on the same
as oil and water, without any trouble, uulika all oth
er dyes that have two or three different kinds to be
applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly
adapted for coloring ladies' hair, because you do not
have to wash out the dye after putting it on. L'ulike
all other dyes, it will color long hair, which other
dyes cannot do. Dive this new article a trial, as we
know you will use no other after once usiug this.
