OUR HEROES.
(Thk poem given below lias been recited by Mr. Mur
dock before large audiences in Philadelphia and Balti
more, whore it was received with shouts, and applaud
ad verse by verse : ]
Cherks ! cheers, for our heroes'
Not those who wear stars;
Not those who wear eagles,
And leaflets and bars ;
We know they are gallant,
And honor them too,
For bravely maintaining
The Bed, White, and Blue!
But cheers for our soldiers.
Rough, wrinkled, and brown;
The men who make heroes,
And ask no renown:
Unselfish, untiring,
Intrepid and true.
The bulwark surrounding
The Red, White, and Blue !
Our patriot soldiers!
When treason arose,
And Freedom's own children
Assailed her as foes ;
When Anarchy threatened
And Order withdrew,
They rallied to rescue
The Red, White, and Blue!
Upholding our banner
On many a field,
Tho doom of the traitor
They valiantly sealed;
And, worn with the conflict,
Found rigor anew,
When victory greeted
The Red, White, and Blue!
Yet loved ones have fallen—
And still, where thej> sleep,
A sorrowing Nation
Hh&ll silently weep;
And Spring’s fairest flowers,
In gratitude, strew
O'er those who hare cherished
The Red, White, and Blue !
But glory immortal
Is waiting them now ;
And chaplets unfading
•Shall bind every brow.
When called by the trumpet,
At Time’s great review,
They stand, who defended
The Red, White, and Blue !
A JUG OF RUM.
Here, only by a cork controlled,
And slender walls of earthen mould.
In all the pomp of death, repose
The seeds of many a bloody nose :
The chattering tongue, the horrid oath ;
The fist for lighting, nothing loth ;
The passion which no word can tame,
That burst like sulphur into flame;
The nose carbunkled, glowing, red ;
The bloated eye, the broken head;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit,
Of murder, maiming, and dispute.
Assault that Innocence assails,
The images of gloomy jails;
The giddy thought on mischief bent;
The midnight hour in riot spent;
All these within this jng appear,
And Jack the hangman in the rear.

RULING BY LOVE.
Experience of a School-Teacher.
‘What is the secret of your discipline ?’
inquired a young teacher of Mrs. L , a
veteran of the school-room. ‘You are not
half so severe as I ain obliged to be, and
yet you have more perfect order in every
thing.’
‘Oh, you know,’ was tho reply, ‘that I
have had years of experience. I should be
but a poor scholar if I had not learnod in
my own schools many things.’
‘Yes, certainly,’ said the other ; ‘but were
you always as successful ? What faculty of
head or heart carries you so easily through
all sorts of difficult places ! Won’t you have
the kindness to tell me what you do, or
don’t do to get on so well with childreu,
and parents, too ?’
‘lf I can suggest anything to be of ser
vice to you,’ said Mrs. L , ‘I should be
happy to do so. In the first plac, I have
but few definite rules, and govern as little
as possible. Then I -observe my pupils
closely, marking their individual peculiari
ties, and treat tfiein according to their de
velopment oftalent and character. Some
I lead by their strong points : in others I
stimulate the weaker faculties; in all I
play upon the better nature, and avoid all
1 cau the sharp resistive qualities so active
in vicious boys and ill-governed children
generally.
‘I do not punish as much as I once did ;
I throw my pupils upon their own sense of
honor and right, making them feel that I
trust them, and it often works like a charm.
But above all, I make them feel that I love
them, and am seeking their good in every
thing. The majority of nupils in every
school will respond to kindness and behave
better and learn more for such friendliness
than for any other sort of discipline. A
teacher, to be sure, must command respect,
and not allow herself to be trifled with ;
and in cases of willful or malicious disobe
dience her authority must be fully main
tained ; bat through these years I have
found, as a general thing, love to be the
strongest of all authority in the school
room.’
‘I love my pupils,’ said the young teach
er ; ‘I would be glad to do all I could - for
their welfare; and they love me, I do not
doubt; but oh, Mrs. L ! many of them
are so repulsive, I never could get any noarer
them than kindness and duty obliged mo.’
‘I appreciate all that,’ said Mrs. L ;
‘one has to love sometimes against every
thing—to love, not for the worthiness of
the object, but for its need of being loved.
Of coarse, this involves some self-denial,
and a little self-discipline, bat the true
teacher will accept it, for her work is of a
missionary character.’
‘Can you do that, Mrs. L , for such
boys as your Jack and Jim ? Have you the
genius for loving so perfectly ?’
‘lfyou will allow me,’ said Mrs. L ,
‘I will tell you a story of my experience.—
Some years ago I was principal of a depart
ment in a large public school in P . The
department had been badly managed for a
long time, and I found it at first a very dif
ficult position. I knew there was much ex
pectea of me, and I was very sensitive
about success or failure. Oh, what a task
it was to get those 120 undisciplined chil
dren into order—and with feeble health,
too ! I think I could not havo done it had
I not been sustained by prayer, and a daily
reliance upon God, my Father.
“There were many foreigners among my
somber, Germans mostly, and some Irish.
I had been particularly warned of one boy,
who bad been for years considered the worst
in school. It took but a few days to find
him out—a rough, ill-condi
tioned lad as you oversaw in a school-room.
His father was a passionate man, and Wal
ter had been beaten and scolded until the
good that was in him had apparently al
most died out. He was an inveterate whis
perer, would not study, and played truant
some part of nearly every day ; he would
•lip out when my back was turned at the
black-board while his class was reciting.—
I tried every way I could to stimulate his
ambition; I gave him rewards and pres
ents, but they lasted only a few days, add
then he tore them up or gave them awaiy
in my presence, and grew worse than before.
‘One day I went borne from school fairly
worried out with his halefulness, and sfct
down alone to think what was next to be
done. I pitied the poor child that there
was nobody to care -for and save him ; tye
was bo unlovely that he suffered a sort ot
abuse from every band that touched him.
Then I thought bow infinitely patient and
loving Ohriit bad been with iny own Way
wardness, and I resolved to make one more
effort for this sinning, frisndless child.—
So I knelt down and asked God for strength
1 and for love, and when I went out of my
room I saw all clear.
! “Tho next day the boy’s father came
i dragging him into the school-room, with an
angry, discouraged look. ‘Here’s Walt.,’
; said he—‘l don’t know what ails the boy,
! but I can’t do anything with him. If ho
! runs away again he Bhan’t come to school
i another day—l’ll put him iuto a shop to
work.’
i “I think we shall have no more trouble,
i Mr. J ,’ said I; ‘Walter will be good
uow.’
The man looked astonished and went
| away, but I felt as if victory was uear at
' hand. After tho cxcitenieut of such a
i scene had subsided, I called Walter to rny
desk and spoko in the kindest manuer I
i could : ‘Walter, what makes yon such a
! bad boy ?’
‘He answered sullenly, ‘I don’t know ; I
1 cau’t help it.’
, ‘ ‘Wouldn’t yon rather bo good so people
i will lovo you—so your teacher will love
1 you, and be glad to seo your faco coming
; into the school ?’
‘‘l can’t be good—l never was good,’
j said the boy.
! “Couldn’t you be good if I would love
you, Walter?’ *
j * ‘You couldn’t love me—nobody ever
; loved me,’ said Walter, looking down very
restlessly.
‘ ‘Yes, Walter,’ said I, ‘if you would try
to be good I could lore you, and I would
love You, and be the best friend in the
world.’
‘The boy looked up as if a strange, new
thought bad struck him.
‘I repeated my words, and the tears start
! ed a little, too, for I was tired and nervous
with my cares. A moment I waited for an
I answer, and then he spoke, choking down
his emotion : ‘You can't love me !’
I “Again 1 assured him in the gentlest
; manner, and then he said, ‘lf I should try
j and should fail once or twice, could you
, lovo me then a little ?’ I told him yes.
‘He stood another moment trembling and
| swelling, and then he broke down entirely,
and cried as if bis heart was bursting. I
let him cry, and did not shut back my own
tears, while the whole school looked on.—
Finally, when he had done sobbing so as to
speak, he said in a voice that didn’t seem
like Walter’s‘Ob, ifyou’U love me, I’ll be
a good boy ’
‘I talked awhile to 300 the and encourage
him, and then dismissed him to his seat.—
Before he went he took my hand in his dir
ty brown fingers, aud with the tears raining
over it, kissed it again and again. I did
oot require many lessons that day; he laid
his head on his desk and cried most of the
time. Twice he came to my desk, as if
afraid to believe, to ask the same question
—*Can you love me, Mrs. L ? Oh, I’ll
do anything ifyon’ll love, me !’ Once I put
my arm rouud the great, uncombed, unwash
ed German boy, and kissed his forehead.
‘Walter was conquered. The next
day he came to school in tidy clothing,
k washed, combed, and in his right mind. I
; had no more trouble, but I had, while he
remained in my room, all the obedience
• and kindness saeh a boy can give. By
taking some extra pains wihfc his lessons—
and that I was very willing to do—he was
1 in a few months promoted with credit to &
higher department. In return, lie delight
ed in doing errands for me; and through
1 the whole season he searched the country
f for miles around to get flowers for my vase.
The incident was a trying one to me, but
! besides the good to poor Walter, it was
worth a dozen whippings to the school.’
i ‘Why,’ said the young teacher, ‘it is in
deed liko missionary work to kiss dirty
■ boys, but you have the genius for it.’
1 ‘We are all aware,’ answered Mr. L ,
1 ‘that to teach successfully, one needs the
! devotedness of a missionary. We know,
* also, that no great moral good is ever done
• but by giving out of one’s heart and life to
■ the needy and the unworthy. To use one’s
1 faculties of friendship and kindness without
[ stint or grudging, is all that genius means,
as yon apply the term. And it has for the
l giver as well as the receiver its own abun
-1 dant and blessed reward.' —Phrenological

f There is no doubt much speculation in
the manufacture and sale of shares of Oil
Companies, and much of the capital that
! finds its way into them will no donbt prove
' an entire loss to the inventors, but this fact
1 should not be allowed to mitigate against
* the full development of the great oil basin
* on the western borders of our State. That
L there is oil there in great abundance, aud
• that this oil is of immense value, are facts
* daily proved by the market reports of pro
' ductiou and prices. The following is the

* These figures show that there is no fall
' ing ofl'in thesupplyof oil, as had been previ
ously feared and predicted by those who
• could not rationally and satisfactorily, ac
’ count for the wonderful existence of oil so
* far below the surface of the earth. There
1 has been a small increase in the supply the
present year over that of last, and there is
1 reason to believe that bad as much atten
-5 tion been given to the sinking of wells as
there has been to that shorter cut to a for
, tune by the manufacture of company shares,
- the increased yield of oil would have been
- as great in 1864 over 1863 as it was in 1863
s over that of 1862. But it does not follow
1 that the loss to inventors in unproductive
shares will result in no good. The specula
• tion now so active in oil stocks is attract
-1 ing a great amount of capital and labor to
: the region, which will sooner or later tell
■ favorably in the greatly increased produc
> tion of oil. No new and valuable source
I of wealth can be promptly developed with
’ out more or less of speculation. The sil
ver mines of Mexico, the gold mines of
r California, and the anthracite and bitumin
. ous coal mines of Pennsylvania, would not
b&ve reached their present development of
; wealth, had they been wholly separated
I from speculation in one shape or another,
in twice or thrice the time since tbeir dis
. covery, but for the stimulus afforded in the
• hope of speedy and large profits from com
paratively small ventures.

Sabbath Physiology.
The Almighty rested one seventh of the
time of creation, commanding man to ob
serve an equal repose. The neglect of this
injunction will always, sooner or later, bring
mental, moral, and physical death.
Rest is an invariable law of animal life.
The busy heart beats, beats ever, from in
fancy to ago and yet for a large part of the
time is in a state of repose.
Win. Pitt died of apoplexy at the early
age of forty seven. When the destinies of
nations hung in a large measure on his do
ings, ho felt compelled j.o give au unremit
ting attention to affairs of state. Sabbath
brought no rest to him, and soon the uu
willing brain give signs of exhaustion. —
But his presence in Parliament was con
ceived to be indispensable for explanation
and defense of the public policy. Under
such circumstances, it was his custom to
eat heartily substantial food, most highly
seasoned, just before going to his place, in
order to afford the body that strength and
to excite the mind to that activity deemed
necessary to the momentous occasion.—
But under the high tension both brain and
body perished prematurely.
Not long ago, one of the most active bus
iness men of England found his affairs so
extended, that he deliberately determined
to devote his Sabbaths to his accounts.—
He had a mind of a wide grasp. His views
were so comprehensive, so far-seeing, that
wealth came in upon him like a flood. He
purchased a cou n try seat at the cost of £400,-
000, determining that lie would now have
rest and quiet. But it was too late. As he
stopped ou his threshold after a survey of
his late purchase, lie become apoplectic.
Although life was not destroyed, he only
lives to be the wreck of a man.
It used to bo said that a brick kiln “must
be kept burning over the Sabbath it is
now known to be a fallacy. There can be
no “must’’ agaiust the divine command.—
Even uow it is a received opinion that iron
blast furnaces will bring ruin if not kept in
continual operation. Eighteen years ago,
an Englishman determined to keep the Sab
bath holy as to them, with the result, as his
books testified, that he made more iron in
six days than he did beiore in seven ; that
lie made more iron in a given time, in pro
portion to the hands and number and size
of the furnaces, than any establishment in
England which was kept in operation du
ring the Sabbath. ,
In onr own New York, the mind of a man
who made half a million a year weDt out in
the night of madness and an early grave
within two years, from the very strain put
upon it by a variety of enterprises, every
one of which succeeded.
“It will take about five years to clear
them off,” said an observant master of an
Ohio canal boat, alluding to the wearing
out influences on the boatmen, who work
ed on Sabbaths as well as on other days.
As the boatmen and firemen of the steam
ers on the Western rivers, which never lay
by on the Sabbath, seven years is the aver
age of life. The observance, therefore, of
the seventh portion of our time for the pur
poses of rest is demonstrably a physiologi
cal necssity— a law of our nature.— Hall’s

How can Farming bo made more At
tractive ?
The following are some of the scraps
and shreds, drawn at varions time 3 from the
discussions of the Wapping (Mass.) Far
mer's Club :
1. By less hard work. Farmers often
undertake more than they can do well, and
consequently work too early and too late.
2. By more system. Tho farmers should
have a time to begin and stop labor. They
should put more mind and machinery into
their work. They shonid theorize as well
as practice, and let both go together.—
Farming is healthy, moral and respectable;
in the long run profitable. The farmers
should keep good stock and be out of debt.
The farm is the best place to begin and end
life, and hence so many in the cities and
professional line covet a rural home.
3. By taking care of health. Farmers x
have a healthy variety of exercise, but too
often neglect cleanliness, omit bathing, eat
irregularly and hurriedly, sleep in ill-venti
lated apartments, and expose themselves
to cold. Nine-tenths of the human diseas
es arise from cold or intemperance. Fre
quent bathiug is profitable, so is fresh air,
deliberation at the dinner table and rest
after a meal.
4. By adorning' the home. Nothing is
lost by a pleasant home. Books, papers,
music and reading should all be brought to
bear upon the indoor family entertainment;
and neatness, order, comfort, shrubbery,
flowers and fruit should harmonize all with
out. Home should be a sanctuary so hap
py and holy that children will love it, wo
men delight in it, manhood crave it and old
age enjoy it. There would be less deser
tions of old homesteads if pains were ta
ken to make them agreeable. Ease, order,
health and beauty are compatible with farm
life and were ordained to go with it.
An Australian Election.
In the Australian colonies women are
permitted to vote in municipal elections. —
Lately in Victoria they voted for members
of the Provincial Parliament. The Lon
don Times, in referring to the matter, says :
The women seem to have availed them
selves in considerable numbers of the priv
ilege obtained. * * * It is recorded
that the women voted as wisely as the
meu ; that they generally voted for. the
best educated candidate, that they showed
contempt for the secrecy of the ballot;
and that, espousing the cause which they
took up with a heartness and devotion inci
dental to the female character, they gener
ally gave plumpers for the candidate of
their choice. In a franchise so low as that
enjoyed by the Australian colonies, we ea
sily believe that this new element especial
ly as the female votes were given in respect
of property, would be a marked improve
ment. It will be very curious to see wheth
er this innovation, thus accidentally intro
duced, is allowed to continue, or whether
the colonists will persevere in the course
upon which they stumbled. In the latter
case it would seem hardly to be possible to
leave matters as they are, or to prevent the
infusion of a much larger female elemeut
into the constituency.’
An Original Idea. — One of our good
friends, in writing to us concerning the con
dition of our men when they return from
Southern prisons, suggests that when ex
changes are made, they should be by the
ponnd. We fat our prisoners; the rebels
starve theirs; and our friend thinks that
by exchanging pound for pound, w© should
get, on an average about five of our men for
two rebels. — Vox Populi.
