"Pandora, according to Hesoid, was the first
mortal female that ever lived. The Gods vied
in making her presents and Jnpiter gae her
a box filled with innumerable evils, which she
was desired to give to the man that mar
ried her. Eprimetheus, the brother of Prome
theus, fell a victim to the charms of Pandora,
and accepted the box, which be opened, and
let forth upon the wrld all the ills and dis
eases which hate since afflicted (he human
race. Hope, alone, remained at the" botttftn of
the bos to console mankind."
O Hope! bright star that guides the' fceaft
O'er Life's tempestuous, troubled sea,
How many a fainting soul would droop
And wither, were it not for thee!
A Horcfeeering to the friendless thou,
Who' re Seeking alms from door to door
To have a hope that days may yet
Come,- like the happy days of yore.
The homeless -wanderer,- worn and tired,-
Dreams of the wealth that ineets his eyes
Looks up and smiles by Hope inspired,
And nerves his arm to grasp the prize.
He yesterday, so poor, was scorned:
But something buoyed his fainting soul.
To-day he is honored his prise is won
'Twas Hope that led him to the gdaL
As wheit the sky with gloom o'ercast
By dark and rolling, threatening clouds,
And angry storms seem gathering fast,
And, in their gloom the earth enshrouds,
The way-worn trateier ltfoks in' vain
Some sheltering spot, secure,- to find,
To shield him from the impending rain
And limbs hurled by the violent Wind.
But see! with joy he hails the light!
Lo, in the west the sun appears!
The clouds disperse soon all is bright
The traveler now no longer fears.
Thus, when the soul is shadowed o'er
With the dark clouds of stern despair,
The sun of Hope can pierce the gloom,
And shed wild rays of pleasure there.
When all the world is dark and drear,
And life affords no charms at best:
And when the heart is filled with care,
And the tired spirit fain would rest
There's naught but Hope that can restrain
The fainting soul, and bid it rise
Above this world of toil and pain,
And learn of joys beyond the skies.
There's naught but Hope that can inspire
The wearied spirit to contend
Against the many ills of life,
And on the joys of Heaven depend:
And, when our sunny hope on earth
Have vanished, like life's visions, riven,
There's nothing left to cheer the soul,
But hopes of peaceful rest in heaven.

The Young Mother's Lesson.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
"You look sober, Bella. What's the
matter?"
The remark and question came from
Aunt llachel, who had called to spend
an afternoon, and take tea with her
niece.
"I ifcel sober, just at this time, aunt."
"No unusual cause for uncomfortable
feelings, I hope," said Aunt Rachel, the
pleasant light which had come into her
face beginning gradually to fade away.
"Oh, no; nothing unusual. It s the
old story with me. There are very few
days, now, in which I am not disturbed,
or made to feel unhappy."
"Why, Bella! lhis is strange news.
Disturbed, and made to feel unhappy ev
ery day! You pain me by such an ac
knowledgment. W bat bas gone wrong
with
you.'
"Nothing wrong with myself, aunt,"
was replied; "but that oldest boy of mine
is growing so self-willed, disobedient,
and ungovernable, that I'm half in de
spair about him."
"l m sorry tor that, Jbella. jrerhapa
you have indulged and humored him too
much."
"I think not from the very beginning
I have made it a rule to repress, as far
as lay in my power, everything disorderly
and evil to require strict obedience to
my word on pain 01 certain punisnment.
No, aunt, I do not think the fault lies
at my door. Edward has a strange dis
position. I don't know what to make
of him, sometimes. He seems bent on
doing the things I interdict. Only halt
an hour ago I found him in the library,
with a handsome book lying open on the
floor, marking some of the fine illustra
tions with a pencil. Once before I had
punished him for this very thing, and
here it was again!"
"And you punished him again?'
"I did; and severely."
"Where is he?"
"Shut in a room by himself."
"Overhead?"
"Yes; that's him pounding on the floor
now. Just near wnai a noise ne is
making! And it isn't ten minutes since
I threatened to whip him if he did it
again."
Bella went hastily from the room, and
going half way up stairs, called, in a
sharp, commanding voice
"You Jidwardl
The hammering ceased in an instant.
"What did I say to you about that
noise a little wane aco.r
No answer.
"Edward!" There was no kindness, no
softness, no mother-love in the voice that
uttered the name. "Do you hear, sir?"
Still no response.
"Why don't you answer me?"
The mother was growing excited.
"Edward; if you don't answer me I'll
punish you severely."
A sulky muttering now came from the
room.
"Don't let me hear that noise again,
sir, or you'll be sorry for it!"
"Can't I come out, mother? I'm tired
of staying here."
"No, sir; you can't come out, you
naughty boy!"
"I will come out!" screamed the child,
with a sudden wildness of manner, as if
he had grown desperate; and he rattled
the lock, and kicked passionately against
the door.
This was more than the excited mother
could endure. Springing up stairs, she
unlocked the door, and entered the
prison-room. Aunt Rachel sighed as
she heard the rapidly falling strokes, and
the cries of Edward.
"You see," said Bella, as she returned,
with a flushed face and angry looking
eyes, to the sitting-room, "what trouble
I've got before me."
Aunt Rachel did not reply.
"I've never seen just such a child,"
the young mother continued; "and I
don't know what is going to become of
him. He" prefers wro'flg to right always
and recognizes authority only for the
sake of disobedience. If, in sending
him from the" room in conseofUence of
some misdemeanor, I tell him to go up
stairs, he will, almost surely, go down;
if I have said go down, he will go up.
Always, he is desirous to gain the inter
dicted object. It is marvelous, this per
version of his"' mindr Yofl dotft know
how it distresses me. There! Just lis
ten. He's pounding on the floor again,
as I live! And, what is more, he" will
keep at it, in spite of threat or punish
ment. Now, what am I to do with such
a boy, Aunt Rachel? I've tried every
thing, but it's of no use."
"Suppose, Bella, you let him come
down and see me. Maybe that will get
him out of his present unhappy state of
mind."
"But, aunt, objected the mother,
"don't you see that he would then con
sider himself as having triumphod.-''
"I'm not sure that he would think
anything about it. He would come into
a better state . of mind than the one that
is now ruling him; and this, it seems to
me, would be something gained. It is
in the sunshine that good affections grow,
not in storm and darkness."
Bella sat reflecting for some time.
She did not like the thought of yielding
to her rebellious child in the smallest
degree. Pride, and love of rule, influ
enced her as much as a sense of duty
perhaps a little more In giving up, she
felt that she must experience a degree
of humiliation.
"Eorgive him, this time, fat my sake,"
urged Aunt Rachel. "I shall not enjoy'
my visit if he is under punishment all
the afternoon."
After a further debate with herself,
the mother left the room and went up to
her imprisoned boy. He was pounding
on the floor when she turned the key
and entered.
"Edward!" She spoke sternly.
The little fellow started up, with a
look half fearful, half defiant.
"You are a very naughty boy!"
Edward set his lips firmly, and knit
his fair young brows.
"How dare you pound on the floor af
ter I had forbidden it?"
Edward moved back a step or two.
There was danger in his mother's eyes.
"Why don t you answer me when I
speak?"
"1 couldn t help it, stammered the
child.
"Couldn't help it! Aint you afraid
to give me such an answer?" and a hand
moved, half involuntary, as if a blow
were about to follow. "
"Aunt Rachel is down stairs."
"Oh, is she!" Two little hands came
together with a sound like a kiss; and
waves of sunshine swept suddenly over
a face that was dark and stormy a mo
ment before.
"I've a great mind not to let you see
her, after all this naughty behavior."
lhe mother could not forgive him.
Instantly the smile went out from Ed
ward's face; but he looked neither peni
tent nor deprecating. She turned from
him as though she would leave him still
m prison; but tnere was no sign ot weak
ness only the disfiguring scowl on his
face that made it so painful to look
upon.
"Come. The mother coldly ex
tended her hand. Edward advanced to
ward her with slow steps, and giving his
hand in a reluctant manner, as if there
were ao pleasure for him in the touch,
followed, half behind her, down into the
sitting-room.
"liere s that naughty boy! This
was Edward's introduction to his moth
er's aunt "Now, don't pout your lips
after that fashion!" was added, reprov
ingly, "Kiss Aunt Rachel."
Ji.dward wanted to throw his arms
about Aunt Rachel's neek, and kiss her
to his heart s content, but, the reproof
and command sent an evil spirit of re
sistance into him, and he merely pat up
his lips with an air which said tor his
mother, who did not see his face "I
don't want to kiss her" but Aunt
Rachel saw love in his eyes. '..
"If you can't behave better than' that,
you'd better go up stairs again."
"Oh, he s behaving nicely, said Aunt
Rachel, as she drew an arm around the
boy. And then she began to talk to him
in a way that soon commanded all his
attention. But, his mother would give
him no peace. It was
"Don't ride on your aunt in that way,"
or,
"J ust see there, you rude fellow, yo ur
feet are on Aunt Rachel's dress." Or
"Don't twist your shoulders so!"
Or
"You'd better go away from Aunt
Rachel; you are annoying her."
"Not in the least," Aunt Rachel re
plied to this, drawing her loving arm
close about the pleased child, in whose
bright young face she read a whole vol
ume of golden promise, if there were
only a wise hand to turn the leaves.
But, half an hour did not pass before
Edward and his mother came into direct
collision, and he was sent in disgrace
from the room.
"Now, what am I to do, Aunt Rachel?"
said the mother, in a half-despairing
voice. "You see what a self-willed, dis
obedient, reckless boy he is. How he
resists me in everything. What am I to
do!"
"Learn the first lesson governing oth
ers," replied Aunt Rachel, with consid
erable gravity of manner.
"What is that?" asked her niece.
"To govern yourself."
"Aunt Rachel!"
"I mean just what I say. And until
you learn to do this you will strive in
vain with your child. Anger awakens
anger; harsbness naturally produces an
tagonism; oft repeated punisnments, and
for trivial offenses, are the parents of
rebellion but love, iJella, quickens
love into life. There is more true
power for good in the tender, svmpa-
ihetic tones of a mother, warm with
mother-love, than in her most impera
tive command, or sternest interdiction.
Her mission is to lead, not drive her
children in the right way."
Aunt Rachel paused to note the ef
fects of her plainly -spoken admonition.
Her niece had a startled look, but she
made no reply.
"I have not heard you speak a single
kind, approving word to that boy since
I have been here," resumed Aunt Ra
chel. "How can I speak approvingly when
he does wrong? How can I encourage
him to disobedience by smiling when he
sets my commands at defiance?"
"I fear, Bella, that you call many
things wrong that are done innocently
on- his part. You follow him up too
closely , '.and scold him to much for
things trivial," or of no'accountr You
have not once, that I have seen, this af
ternoon, tried to divert him from any
thing that he was doing not strictly in
the line of your approval: it was always
a command, and always harshly made.
J) orgive me, Uella, tor this plain speech:
but I see your error so plainly, that I
must point it out. You have forgotten
the pithy adage about honey catching
more flies than vinegar. Try the honey,
my deartry the honeyf I am sadly
afraid that yod are shadowing the life
ot that childshutting out the sunshine
by which alone good plants can vegetate
in the garden of his soul. I have seen
little besides an evil growth to-day; yet,
down among the ranklyspringing weeds
trying to struggle up into the air ahd
lightj a few flowers of affection were
faintly visible. Oh, Bella, search for
these as for precious treasures; 'water
them with the dews of love, and let the
hearts warm sunshine go down into the
earth around them. Don't think so
much about the repression and extermi
nation of evil, about the growth add de
velopement of good. But, first of all,
put your own house in order. Regulate
your own heart. Repress anger, pride,
self-will, love of ruling, indignation at
rebellion let only affection reign in
your heart, and thoughts of your child's
good fill your mind."
Bella sat in a kind of bewildered si
lence, and her aunt kept on
"Will you not act on my suggestion?
Go to Edward, and speak to him as if
you loved him. Let him feel the love
in your voice, atld see it in your eyes;
and, as the magnet attracts iron, so will
you attract him. Forget that he has
offended you, or if you think of it, and
speak of it, let it be as though you were
grieved, not angry. Love for his
mother will bind him to the law of obe
dience when fear of punisnment would
only impel him to its violation."
Bella arose quickly. She looked into
her aunt's face, but made no response.
Tears were in her eyes as she left the
apartment. Going up stairs to the room
into whicn Edward had been banished,
she opened the door and went in with a
quiet step. The boy started as she en
tered, and looked around from his work
of marking with a pencil, on the white
window-sash. He was doing wrong,
and being caught in the act, expected
punishment, or an angry lecture. So
he put on a look of defiance. But his
mother, instead of blazing out upon
him. as was wont, sat down in a strange
quiet way, and said, "Edward," so softly
and gently that he could only stand and
look at her in surprise.
"Edward," she repeated his name,
and now with a tenderness that made
his heart leap. Her hands were held
out toward him. Dropping the pencil,
he advanced a step or two, looking won
deringly at his mother. She still held
out her hand. "Come, dear." He was
UJf liCl D1UC 1U UU 1U&UU11.
"Do you love mother?" An arm was
drawn gently around him. He did not
answer in words, but put his arms about
her neck and kissed her. What a thrill
of pleasure went trembling to her heart.
"1 love liddy. lhe little arms
tightened about her neck, and the little
head went down, nestling upon her bo
som. "Oh! I love you so much!" The
half-smothered voice was full of child
ish earnestness.
"Will Eddy be good for mother?"
"I wont never be naughty again!"
Edward stood up, speaking in a resolute
way, and looking full into his mother's
face. "If I can help it," he added, a
little less confidently.
"Oh, Eddy can help it if he will," said
his mother, smiling encouragement into
his face.
Something was on the lip of the boy,
but he kept it back from utterance.
"What is it, dear? What were you
going to say?"
Thus encouraged, iidward said, drop
ping his eyes as he spoke,
"I'll forget, sometimes; Fiu mostsare
I will. But "
He paused with the sentence unfin
ished. "But what, dear?" '
"Don't scold me then, mamma. Kiss
me, and I'll be so sorry!"
He caught his breath with a sob, and
his mother drew his head against her
bosom, and laid her tearful face down
among his golden curls.
When they entered the sitting-room,
Aunt Rachel saw that it was all right
with them. She held out her hand to
Edward, who came to her in a gentle
way, and stood, with a happy-looking
face, by her side.
Scarcely witnin her memory had the
mother spent so pleasant an afternoon.
Edward, of course, soon forgot himself,
soon meddled with forbidden things,
made unseemly noises, or conducted
himself in a way that tried severely his
mother's patience. But, she compelled
herself, and it required no light effort,
to use the honey instead of vinegar to
speak in affectionate remonstrance in
stead of with angry threats and, in
stantly, the troubled waters grew still.
She could not but notice the singular
difference, in effect, between the loud,
emphatic, commanding utterances in
which she had so long indulged, and
the quiet, loving words now spoken in
undertones. Will then opposed itself to
will; but now love yielded to love. The
boy, once so indifferent and rebellious,
was now anxious to gain his mother's
approval. She had governed herself,
and the work of governing her child, so
impossible before, became a thing of
easiest achievement.
"Don't forget ft, dear," said Aunt
Rachel, as she held the hand of her
niece, in parting, at the close of her
visit.
"Never!" was the earnest reply.
"You have removed scales from my
eyes; and selfishness, self-will, and pas
sion, shall never blind me again. I will
try to govern myself always before at
tempting to govern my child try to
see what is for his good try to stimu
late the growth of loving affections,
rather than give all thought to the weeds,
in seeking to tear up which I have al
ready hurt so many tender plants."
"Ah, my child, that is the true way,"
replied Aunt Rachel. If you can get
the life-forces of his young spirit to
flow vigorously into the good plants,
they will soon spring up into the sunny
air, spreading out their branches, and
striking their roots wide and deep into
the earth leaving the evil plants to
droop and wither for lack of nourishment."
wee vii wheat.
Keskock Posi Office, -Noble
Co., 0., June 28 1869.
Dr. T. L. Andrews,
Dear Sir: I met with
some the farmers of Washington
county a few day's since and heard then
complaining that the weevil was injuring
their wheat very much. I stated to
them that we had wheat that the weevil
could not hurt. They wished me to
write a history of the wheat and have it
published in your paper, and the Home
Kevcs. I have it from good authority
that the weevil -proof wheat originated
as follows: A man by the name of
Lambert, in Hardin county, was walk
ing through hia wheat field, and on ex
amining the heads, he found the wheat
so injured that it was not worth cutting.
He noticed six or seven heads that were
plump and full. He gathered them and
planted them in his garden. The next
year he found it was good, while all the
wheat around was nearly destroyed by
the weevil. Prom there, a little of the
wheat was carried into Muskingum
county, and from there it was brought
into this neighborhood. We have
raised two crops of it; thousands of
heads have been examined by different
persons, and have never heard of a
weevil being found in it. The wheat
yields from fifteen to twenty-five bush
els per acre.
This is not intended for the purpose
of advertising the wheat, but to benefit
the farmers of Washington county.
Anyperson wishing further iuformatioji,
I will give it freely. I think there will
be a great demand for the wheat the
coming Fall for sjed. We think the
reason the weevil cannot get into this
kind of wheat is that the hull is differ
ently formed."
Yours respectfully,
DAVID GREEN. .
The wheat spoken of by Mr. Green has
been raised by a few farmers of this
county, and has proved to be weevil
proof. While other fields have been de
stroyed by the ravages of this ttouble
sonie insect, those sown with this -variety
have remained unharmed. It is a
matter of great importance to farmers,
and we hope it will command their at
tention. Marietta Intelligencer.
Cure for a Cancer.
Mr. Thomas Puderton, an English
man, gives the following recipe for
cancer, which he says has been of great
service in several dangerous cases:
Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk, which
they will thicken; when they are tender
split and apply them as warm as can be
borne to the part affected, whether
broken or not; the part must then be
washed every time the poultice is
changed, with some of the milk; use a
fresh poultice night and morning, and
at least once during the day, and drink
a quarter of a pint of the milk the figs are
boiled in, twice in the twenty -four hours.
If the stomach will bear it, this must be
persevered in three or four months at
least. A man, aged 85 years, was cured
about six years before his death with
only six pounds of figs. The cancer,
which began at the corner of his mouth
had eaten through his jaw, cheek, and
halfway down his throat; yet it was so
perfectly cured that it never showed any
tendency to return. Should it ever do
so, the figs should again be applied.
The first application gives a great deal
of pain, but afterwards each dressing
gives relief. A woman cured hy this
remedy had been afflicted ten years.
To Prevent Forked Trees Splitting
J. T. Moxley, Sheboygan county,
Wisconsin, recommends to twist or wind
together a few of the smaller limbs
above the fork, which will grow in that
position as the tree increases in size, and
form a natural - brace. He states that
he has treated many trees successfully
in this manner. We have prevented
forked trees inclined to split, and even
secured those that had already com
menced to part, by boring through with
an inch auger and driving in a strong
wooden pin. A small iron bolt, with a
head on one end and a nut on the other
end, is even better. The new growth
will soon cover the pin or bolt. Ameri
can Agriculturist.
Corn for Fodder.
There is yet abundant time for sowing
corn in drills or broadcast, for fodder to
feed stock and horses during the fall,
when our best pastures arc often com
paratively barren, on account of drouth.
We prefer sweet corn to the ordinary
field sorts, because of the Sugar in the
stalk, when cut just before the grain is
forming.
Keep your Sheep off froifc Wheat Stub
ble. .
Wheat is inflamatory, and sheep
are injured by being gorged with
it. Swine should always precede, un
less the flock is large, and the field small.
Salt sheep well before turning on to
stubble. Other stubble will not hurt
them
Pickles.
An excellent way to make pickles
that will keep a year or more, is to drop
them in boiling hot water, but not boil
them; let them stay ten minutes, wipe
them dry, and drop into cold spiced vin
egar, and they will not need to be put
into salt and water.
Old Abe'a Prelimifljcnr Visit to tha White
Souse.
The following song was written by Qen. Clarke,
Editor of the Burlington (Vt.) Timet, and sung
at a Lincoln and Hamlin ratification meeting
at Burlington, at which the Hon. George P.
Marsh presided,hy the "Bob-o-link Glee Club."
Air, Yilliktns and Dinah,
One AWata thre was who li veil out in the ITest,
Esteemed by his neighbors the wisest and best,
And you'll see on a time, if you'll follow my
. ditty,
How he took a straight walk up to Washington
City.,
.Hi. tu, &e.
His home was at Springfield, out in Illinois,
Where he'd long been the pride of the men and
"the boys;"
But he left kit white house with no sign of re
gret, For he knew that the people had another to let.
Ei tu, &.c.
So Abr'am lie trudged on to Washington
straight,
And reached the White House through the av
enue gate;
Old Buck and his cronies, (some chaps from
the South,)
Sat ronnd the East room- rather down in the
mouth.
Ri tu, 4c.
Old Abe seixed the knocker, and gave such a
thump
Back thought the State ship had run into a
8 tump;
He trembled all over, and turned deadly pale,
"That noise," said he, "must be made with a
rail."
Bi tu, &c.
"Run Lewis, run Jerry, and open the door"
And the "functionary" nearly fell down on the
floor, "
"There's only one man who knocks that way,
. I'm blessed I ....
And he is that tarnal old Ass of Tli West."
Ri to, &c - ,
The Cabinet, frightened, sat still in their seats,
While Abr'am impatient, the rapping repeats,
"I hope it ain't Abe," said old Buck, pale and
gray.
"If it is, boys, here'll be hero the devil to
pay." , ;
' Ri tu, &c. .
At last, though reluotant, Buck opened the
door,
And sw a chap waiting, six feet three or four.
"I have come, my fine fellows," said Abe to the
ring,
"To give you fair notice to vacate next spring."
Ri tu, &c.
"The people have watched you, and made tip
their mind
That your management's running the country
behind;
You're badly in debt, and your plan ' is a bold
one,
To make a new debt, to pay off the old one." :
Ri tu, &c.
"You and Douglas have so split your party in
. twain
That Spalding's best Gltie can't unite it again ;
And both parts are useless, the country don't
need 'em '
For one goes for Slavery and the other 'gainst
Freedom." ; i
j '" Ri tu, &c.
"So the people conclude that the best thing to
do,
Is to right the State ship, and hire a new
crew,
And engage a new Captain as soon as they can,
And it's my duty to tell you that I AM THE
MAN t" - '
Ri tu, &c.
"Come in" said old Buck, " and sit down Mr.
Lincoln;
The remarks you have made are something to
think on j .
I don't care a cuts for the country, that's flat 1
But if you'll beat Douglas you can take my old
hat!"
Ri tu, &c. .- . !. .
"Steve Douglas." said Abe, "he belongs to my
State,
And I did beat him well in the year '58 ;
If I catch him again in the canvass, he'll find
What it means when folks talk about 'running
behind.'
Ri tu, &c.
"So you needn't fear Dug, let him scheme and
conspire, .
He's as deep in the mud as you're in the mire,
And this moral he'll learn when his game is all
played :
That it is not by "squatting" that "sovereigns"
are made.
Ri tu, &c.
"Mr. Lincoln" says Buck, "your notions I
think, . .
Are extremely correct, and I ask you to drink ;
We've the best 'J. B.' 'green seal' and old
sherry,
And I've no gerat objection, just now, to get
merry."
Ri tu, &c.
Says Abr'am : "My friends, I've come here to
say .
That the Democrat dog' has 'just had his day ;'
The people have trusted you more than they
ought to,
And all that I want is a drink of oold water."
Ri tu, &c
"Cold water r said Buck, "we've got it I tiling
Though 'tis not with our party a favorite
drink;
Our tipple we take on its own naked merits,
And we need something strong to keep up our
sperits."
Ri tu, te.
The Cabinet searched the White House with a
will;
But did not find water "put down in the bill;''
Jerry Black made report that, without any
doubt,
The whiskey was plenty, but water was out. '
Ri tu, 4c
So Abe took hia leave and returned to the West,
Leaving Buck and his Cabinet somewhat de
pressed, For they saw with a glanca how 'twould end
without fail :
They were beund for Salt River this time, on a
kail ! "
