Pirom the Christian Union] Ha?dly aiyr thing just now attracts to itself as much inventive thought, as the gun. In olden times the sword was the typical implement of war. It still remains so in life (State, imd probably will* continue long t&-do-so, just as yet we

But it is'not! dfth^gun as a military Weapon that #fe nfean chiefly to speak.

InwrestKngiClimbing,swimming riding, leaping,'shooting, they who have been tanght skill and.self reliance are seldom injured. It is. the. clumsey hand, the awkward foot,- ofone untaght in manly exereises that courts disaster. The boy that is-familiar with the gun is not the one who snaps it at- his sister, that it is not loaded, and. shoots hef hrad. It is the green lubber who has never been permitted to.know any thing about firearms that does that. A wise fathershould t^aCh his boy how to load, h6w to carry a gun safely, how to settle a- fence and all the precautionary acts of bunting, it would be well, too, to teach every how to use a pistol. Many a woman been placed in the power of burglars from lack of that knowledge.

^h«*n we say th&t it" jsiii, pirt to prevent accidents thai we rec6mm(fnd early instructidn in tfie'osfe if fire-arms.

No amount of care will keep boys from' handling guns.—"it ar&scinating implement. There isffPfttAarm'^about a gun which bewitches aDoy's imagination. Guns are now so cheap that, every body can have bWeIv TSVeri'ff timid parents withhold fowUng-pieces Yi^#' their sons it will not prevent tleir hahdKi^g theA Xhe toWnds fdll of them. And accidentally or on purpose, your son' will find out something about gunning*

The military cpmpanies are

many,

and the manual of aims so fascinating, and sMrp-ahctoting has become suqh a fashion,^ that you may. be.&ufe that an average boy frill ceme by a gun clandestinely, if jy&dae* not without your permission. Now, we' argue, that it is'far more' dingerous to» leave^boys t»findoot«eeretly the pleasures of a gun than it is to teach them its skillful use. A chii4 learns caution. After a few' weeks,* a^Boy of ten years old' is in as little danger of doing mischief with a gun as he is of taking poison or falling into the river, or down stairs or of stabbing himsdf with aksife. ^We hold it.to, bet sound philosophy, that children are safer by being taughtj how to meet djmgto and tq overcome it than by seeking to keep tfcem away from all dangers It is a6t the bold and brave lads that ate apt to4e harmed,

Thejmoril uses'of iufe-arirfs are not the least to be considered, A boy with a gun on his shoulder, on Wednesday afternoon, or on Saturday, tramping the forests, threading the river Valleys, or -searching the hills, is learning self-reliance, skill, enterprise. He isfar leas likely -to fall under temptations which so easily beset highspirited boys that have nothing to do, than if he was pent up in narrow quarters at home.

There iB more power condensed in a small compase in a rifle than in any other engine. It is so docile, so manageable, so far reaching, so instantaneous in its effects, that it is attractive to every wideawake boy. It is still an object of fascination to ourselves. When we shall be so Old as not to care for a fine rifle, and not to be curious of every new invention that makes fire-arms more efficient, we shall consider ourselves in our dotage.

But, with a little care and instruction,, a boy soon hunts for something more than merely to secure game. He becomes interested, in natural history. He begins to read about and to observe the habits of birds, beasts and fishes. Nothing is more important than to teach a child to derive a pleasure from the use of his higher faculities. A boy that knows all the birds in his neighborhood, their haunts ^nd habits, tfie style of their nests, .their .eggs, the color of their young, their food, dispositions .and uses in npture, the common wild animals that exist in the region around his hoihe, the floral and simpler elements of geology, has opened iip in "himself tastes and, habits which will have a power upon f*is tf hole life fpr £03?l. Silch education, byTiroadeiungthe sources ejjJqyfiWtaK' and by mMSng him less dependent for happiness upon any single sef -Of' cireumatahces, diminishes the power of misfortune and of commercial revulsions. Men uho derive their joys from one or two sources only are tisiMly^er^tinhappy br very stupid in Old age.:i The vider the range on which the mind pastures, the less likely will it be to suffer from famine.

These conshleraticAis are -equally applicable to the rod. Whether it be a guo or rod, or-better yet, both} and the

true sportman has a keen zest for early hours fcteh IS»^thft eSfitlhrations of vigorous exercise he learns to love the face of heaven^ of the earth and of the «un. die stewing, and, cuddling Ihpcla^y life, he* pbrdhasefe neahh and'pleasure in one bargain.

Tho Story of his Song ef' TheJIells." J.-, The following incident was related by a member of the Baltimore bar, who, at the time of its occurrence,'»as but recently admitted to practice. The truth of the statement may be depended on and even the conversation introduced I give, I think, nearly word for word as reported^ tome.

At the period referred to there were several single-storied houses on the east side of St. Paul street, each of which contained but two rooms: They were rather massively—according to present ideas—constructed of brick, but have been for along time displaced by tall and stately buildings. One of these singlestoried houses was occupied by my informant. The front apartment was used as a law office, the rear fft *a sleeping room.

One calm and clear moonlight winter night, when the snow lay deep upon the city streets and roofs, Mr.——was making preparations to go to bed, when his front door bell was rung! He aroused his^ne-

gto

servant boy, whp was nodding on his stool by the ehimney corner, and sent him to open the door, to the late visitor. The boy,almost immediately returned alone. He skill thaif* nobody Vas at the door, but that a gentleman was standing in the snow in the middle of the street, talking to himself and tossing his arms about.

Mr. 7—r now went to the front door himself. When he opened it he found one, who was evidently a gentleman—he could see that by the moonlight—stand-

The ganger followed him into ihe inner apartmept, where a bright tire was burning in the grate. The manner of his guest Was po

The stranger left. The lawyer did not know until a -Jong time afterward, when the "Song of the Bells"—of which he still has the original—had been published and become famous, that his singular visitor was Edgar A. Poe. £. I

Cow-Penning in Florida. Their great ambition is to be the owner of the greatest posible numbei of cattle, not so much for the the sake of their hides, and tallow, or the money they may bring in the market, as for the pleasure of yearly riding after and gathering in bearding and branding their horned pos sessions. "How many .cattle have you?" inquired I ofone of my neighbors. "About 300,1 ieckon." .ti. "How many has Mr. D. "I reckon about the same." "How many has Mr. Y.?":,

He has about 2,500." He must have a lively" time, thought I. "What does he do with so many?" How does he provide for them?" "O, they provide for themselves. After they have" been cow-pepned a few weeks and all have been marked and branded which had not been marked and branded before, we then turn them out to travel over the wide range among the pines and hummocks, where they get fat on the abundant new grass in summer, and suf fieieht living in the wintfcr. We drive up only in the spring, unless we wish some for beef or for market." -'Do they not wander far awawy and get mixed with other cattle?" "O, yes, sometimes twenty or thirty miles, and it may be several weeks before we can get all oar oattle home Several of us neighbors ride together a week or more at a time often camp out at night Sometimes find quarters with distant neighbors who are hunting cattle like ourselves,..bo that we have jovial good dimes. Perhaps they have gathered some of our cattle ihto- their pens. All right' they are welcome to take all the milk they can get, and the manure, as long ks we let them remain. This is the rule among us. Every man has a. right to drive into hisfpen all the oattle he can, find, keep them until. called for by the owner. You understand npw, said he, "why we burn our pine woods near home every spring. It is done so that the new grass will qmefly Spring^up and give good feed to oar cattle as we drive them home. We pot them' into our cow pens every night, then after getting a little milk from a few of the cowe—about a pint from each—the co«gs and oattle are driven one way, and the calves thaother." "But do they not get together again?'' said I "do they not get mixed?" ••O, no 1re Soori train them to know the right •ay." "From so many cows you have a chance to select some good milkers, so as to have a good dairy, so that you can almost float in milk." .'Oh, no," he replied "we are after the manure more than th$ milk."

Wh*A a strange, perverted taste, thought 1. How singnlarl 'Why, sir," he added, ''this is the way we fertilize our lands—eyerySJyear from one to five aoiesor more.

"j IN THE PUtL FLUSH OP VICTORY, C.

For having met the combined strength and opposition of the high priced merchant* in tort Weyne, and triumphed, we naturally feel that we are invincible, and that from the day we open, our Store here will he aa they are now in Fort Wayne and New York—the great resort of the people for the best of goods at the lowest prices.

With four Stores all doing a largo buainessybnving goods in immense quantities for cash, we hazard nothing in saying we come to retail goods here at prices that will be often much less than nnv other ITerre Haute Merchant buys them. We come to plant the New York market faifand square in Terre Haute, and to give to the people, AIiWAYS FOIt CASH OTJI»Y, kh immense aitoomtt of Dry Goods at about one half the prices charged by other stores. hpiioii's -lift (Extract from a Fort Wayne Paper.) ."/it 'to it "We uiiderstaiM'rtiat Foster Brothers, of New York City, will soon open a large Dry Goods and Carpet Store, at Terre Haute, ,in this State. If the people of that place knew what we know they would not buy one dollar's worth of goods until the new firm arrives. When they opened here two years ago, such was the demand for their goods, and so terribly low were their prices, that before 11 o'clock A. M. of the first dav their Store was crowded'so full of customers that it became necessary to lock their doors and refuse admission to the vast crowd, outside. ItwaaaMopiishingl Nothing like it had ever befdre been seeq in the State of Indiana."

We shall play the same game here. .Within the. last few weeks there has been one of the most terrible depreciations in Dry Goods and Carpets ever known to the mercantile community. The failures of. Dry Goods Houses in New York have been numerous, and thousands of dollars' worth of Goods have been sold for what they would bring. For the last' three weeks, we have been carefully selecting from the immense purchases of our New York Stores a share of all kinds of goods Bought at these forced sales. This enables ns to say that we shall offer on' the first day that we are open for businfesB, the best bought and most inviting Stock of Dry Goods and Carpets ever offered in the West, with almost everything at 40 per cent, lean than the rates other Stores are charging. Therefore we say

Do not buy a dollars'? worth of Dry Goods or Carpets

Untii you have s&n these splendid goods,
