Mighty Sociable.
The following extract is from Mar
Twain's ne book, entitled "Roughin
it," now in process of publication. It i
an amusing illustration of a back settler
view of New York life:
In Nevada there used to be currev
the story of an adventure of two of he
nabobs, which may or may not hav
occurred. I give it for what it i
worth.
Colonel Jim had seen somewhat of tb
world, and knew more or less of it
way; but Colonel Jack was from th
back settlements of the States, h. ' led
life of arduous toil, and had neve' .ee
a city. These two, blessed with sudde
we-dth, projected a visit to New York
Colonel Jack to see the sights, ar.d Col
onel Jim to guard his unsophisticatio:
from misfortune. They reached Sai
Francisco in the night, and sailed in th
morning. Arriving in New York, Col
onel Jack said:
"I've heard tell of ,narriages all n
life, and now I mean to have a ride ii
one; I don't care wbat it cos*.. Com!
along."
They steppel out on the sidewalk, an
Colonel Jim called a stylish barouche
But Colonel Jack said :
"No, sir! None of your cheap-Johi
turn-outs for me. I'm here to have :
good time, and money ain't any object
I mean to have the noblest rig that'
going. Now here comes the very trick
Stop that yaller one with the picture
on it-don't you fret-I'll stand all th
expenses myself."
So Colonel Jim stopped an empty om
nibs, and they got in. Said Colone
Jack
"Ain't it gay, though ? Oh, no,
reckon not! Cushion, and windows
and pi-tures, til! you can't rest. Wha
would the boys say if they could see u
cutting a swell like this in New York
By George, I wish they could see us."
Then he put hi bead out of the win
dow and shouted to the driver:
"Say, Johnny, this suits me !-suit:
yours truly, you bet! I want this she
bang all day. I'm on it, old man ! Le
'ecim out: Make 'em go! We'll mnaki
it all right With you, sonny !"
The driver passed his hand througI
the strap-hole and tapped for his fare
I was before the gongs came in commoi
use. Colonel Jack took the hand, an<
4ho,k it cordially. Ile said:
"You twig me, old pard ! All righ
etwe'n gents. Smell of that and seo
bow yonu like it!"
And he put a twenty dollar gold pieci
into the driver's hands. Af:er a mo
ment the driver said he could not mak
:hange.
"Bother the change! Ride it out
Put it in your po(:ket."
The oniihus stopped and a youn;
lady got in. Colonel Jack stared for
momient, then nudged Colonel Jim with
is eli>'w.
"D)on't say a word," he whispered
'Let hcr rid'e if she wants to. Gracious
theres roomn enough.'
'rhe young ladly got out her porte
monnaie and handed her fare to Golone
Jac'k.
"What's this fo,r ?" said lie.
"Give it to the driver, please."
"Take back your money, imadame
We can't allow it. You're welcome t<
ride here as long as you please, but thi,
sheang's chartered, we shaiit let yot
pay a cent."
T1he girl shrunk into a corner, hiewild
red. An old ladyv wimh a basket climbec
in, and proff'ered her fare.
"Excuse me," said Colonel Jack.
"You are pei fecily welcome here, mad
rtmn', but we can't allow you to pay'
Set right down ther'e, mum, and don'
yo be the least uneasy. Make your
self as free as if you was in your owr
turnout.''
Within t' o minutes, three gentlemen
two fat women, and a couple of childrer
eitered.
"Come right along friends," said Gol
onel Jack ; don't mind us. This is
free blow out." T1hen he whispered t<
Colonel Jim, "New York ain't no socia
ble place, I don't recon-it ain't no nami
for it."
iIe resisted every effonrt to pass fare:
to the driver, and muade everybody cor
dially welcmnme. The situation dawner
on the people, and they pocketed thei
money, and delivered themiselves up t
covert einjoynient of the episode. IIalf :
lozen more passengecrs entered.
"Oh, there is pienty of roomi," sah
Colonel Jam-k. "Walk right in an
make youirself at home. A blow-onm
ain't worth anything as a hlow-out, un
less a body has complany.'' Then in:
whisper to Coloniel Jim, "But ain't thes,
New Yorkers friendly yAnd ain't thei
cool about it too ? icebergs ain't any
where. I rec'kon thev'dI tauckle a hearse
if it was gin g their way."
More piassengers got ini, more yet, an
stil mire. B0o;h seats were filled, an
a ile of men were stmndinog up h,ohlin
on to the e!<ats uverhjead. Pa'rties witi
baskets and bundles were climnbing ui
o n. e rf 1r.lf'umrese 1.u,lit.
I ever saw, I'm an lijun," whispere(
Colonel Jack.
k A Chinarnan crowded his way in.
"I weaken," said Colonel Jack. "Iok
s on, driver ! Keep your seats, ladie
s and gents. Just make yourself free
everything's paid for. Driver, rustli
t ihese folks around just as long as they'r

S more money come to the St. Nicholas
and we'll make it right. Pleasant jour

a The two comrades got out, and Cul
onel Jack said-"Jimmy, it's the socia

. If we'd staid awhile I reckon we'd hai

Behind Time.
A railroad (rain was running along at
almost lightning speed. A curve wa:
just ahead ; and the train was late, very
late ; still, the conductor hoped to pass
the curve safely. Suddenly a locomo

there was a collision. A shriek, a shock,

The battle of Waterloo was bein,
fought. Column after column had been
precipitated upon the enemy. The sun
was sinking in the West; reinforcements
for the defenders were already in sight;
it was necessary to carry the position
with one final charge. A powerfulcorps
had been summoned from across the
country. The great conqueror, confident
of its arrival, formed his reserve into an
attacking column, and led them down
the hill. The whole world knows the

A condemned man was being led out

Just at this moment a horseman came

lie was the person with the reprieve.
But he had conic too late. A compara
tively innocent mann had died an igno

five minutes too slow, making its timne
to arrive behind time.
It is continually so in life. The best
1aid plans are daily sacrificed because
somebody is "Ibehinid time." There are
men who always fail in what they un
dertake, simply because they are "be
hind timne."
Reader, ask yourself seriously the
qulestio,, whether there is not some
danger of your being amo)ng this class ?
T.here w ill be thousands of souls in the
place of woe because they put off the
thought of eternity till it was too late.

I The Federal Goverrment and
the States.
Whatever the merits of the fiction
fight in Louisiana, and whatever may be
the result of it, one thing is clear ; the
interference of the federal government,
in the affairs of the States produces no
good, and leads to unmeasured evis. In
Soath Carolina, in Georgia, in Texas,
and now in Loui-iana, the touch of its
hands has evoked only confusion and an
archy ; on the other side, where that i-n
terposition has been withheld, or re
strained, as in Virginia, Missouri, and
Mississippi, the recovery of the States
from the disorders of the rebellion, and
their launch into the ways of peaceful
progress and development has been miost
rapid.
It can not be too often repeated, nor
emphasized with too much force, that
the stability and usefulness of our politi
cal constitution depends entirely upon
the tidelity with which we observe its
peculiar characteristics. That conll%itu
tion rests upon two fividament:l princi
ples, the sovereignty of the central gov
ernment, in its sphere, and the indepen
dence of the States, in their spheres;
and so long as those spheres are kept
intact, so long as the federal and the lo
cal jurisdictions are not confounded,
there will be a complete and beautiful
harmony in the working of the system.
But let the States assume more than is
du- them, as they did in the planters'
rebellion, or let the Union a-qnime more
than is due it, as now seems to be the
tendency at Washington, aud that har
mony must be inevitably broken. The
seven years of turbulence, putrage, and
disaster, which have accompanied the
several schemes of reconstruction, as it
is called, are a sad but im1presbive proof
of this text.
Our American idea of government, if
it have any originality, :ny validity, any
value, consists in the ba-alnce it seeks to
preserve between local independence and
freedom and national unity. Had our
f-junders established a miore centraliz,2d
government, or had they adopted a mere
state-league, they would have repeated
simply experiments many thousand
years old ; they would have added no
thing to the experience of mankind, but
would have gone staggering on in the
outworn methois of Europe. They
had, however, a better inspiration than
any former example in their ardent love
of liberty conjoined to order, and by the
unique structure which they devised, of
a republic of republic, they went further
than any of the human race had yet gone
towards the realization of that liberty in
order which is the one high problem of
politics.
The result of the war against rebellion
has guararteed tbe principle of national
sovereignty for a great many years to
come ; it will not be questioned in our
generation, at least. But the very war
which secured this piriniciple has put the
other and counter principle in danger.
The great and f"rmidablc evil which now
menar-es us is the absorption of the rights
and duties and privileges of the States
by the central maelstrom. By the rebel
lion the national life was threatened by
the perversion of State rights. The na
tional sovereignty then became the cen
tre of popular loyalty. This sentiment
still survives with unwonted rigor, and
c:auses the centralizing policy of the gov
ernment to be regarded with intdulgen:ce
and even partiality. Advocates of local
sovereignty and State indepcndence, on
die contrary, are urging a course which
is rnot likely to arouse the popular en
thu-iasmn. But it is just at this time of
general indiffe:rence to the value of local
govern men t, and the prevalence of the
natiomnal spirit, that the former idea is in
danger of receiving irreparahle iij try.
Short-sighted puliticianis, ignorant of
the history of political ideas, think of a
principle of government onily as a clause
more or less in a constitution. Such
men are capable of tampering with the
ideas on which the republic is founded
fo,r the sake or electing a candidate or
passing a hill. But it devolves upon
those who are stateazmen arnd not politi
cians, who are patriots and riot pariisans,
w-hose range of vision transcends the
limi: s of anc election district, and who
see heyond the term of an office, to ar.
rest a tendency so much the more dan
gerius as it is less paitent t-> superficiai
obsue rva ti on.
Th'le present frame of our government
depends upon the prevalencec of certain
political ideas amnong thie people ; it wilt
he cbanged if ever, no(t by irevolution but
hy the decay of these ideas, and their
sub stitutiocn by others. T1he danger,
there.fore, of naitional interterence in
State allahirs, conisits in fatiiiarizing the
peopllle with a disregard and c:on tempt for
ioc-al goverinm,ient, andcc not in the success

The Fate of Fisk.
From the New York World.
The only essential difference between
the repute of Stokes, the assassin, and
the repute of Fisk, the assassinated, in
Now York, was a difference rot of kind
but of degree. The victim had made his
doings matters of newspaper comment
and his person popularly known, as the
murderer had never been able, or it may
be had never been inclined, to do. But
the bullet which ended the career of Fisk
invested his memory in a moment with
a kind of popular sympathy and pity
which will infallibly be imputed if not to
him ;or righteousness, at least for scan.
dal and a shame to his slayer. The cir
cumstances in which Janes Fisk, J-.,
was done to death were of themselves so
base and brutal that nine men in ten, in
reading of theni, will infer from the tale
not only an i:istinctive compassion for
the f:llen man, which will make them
deaf to all moralizing upon his past ca
reer, but also an instinctive contempt
and loathing for the man who killed him,
I which will make them duaf to all pleas in
mitigation of his crime drawn from the
wrongs he had suffered and the provocation
lie bad received. Was this the object of
Stokes when he gathered up all the fac
ulties of his nature to that sly and wolf
ish pursuit of the foreman?
The poor creature, confronted with
social and financial ruin, by the superior
art and cunning of his antagonist, doubt
less fancied that in tAking the life of
Fisk lie should more than balance the
long account between them. But what
was such a life as the life of James Fisk,
Jr.? A life of low successes, of vulgar
gains, of silly and indecent ostentation,
of dishonest financiering-a life alike
empty of the romance of passion and of
the reality of principle-was that so
much to lose? In the ordinary course of
nature it must have come to an end
sooner or later. It wxs a life to be en
vied only by simpletons or scoundrels;
a life without one solitary charm for
men with hearts in their bosoms, or
brains in their heada, or manhood in
their wills ; a li&e compact of impotence,
of impudence, and of noise. In the not
wholly improbable course, we will not
say of nature but of law and of society,
it was to be expected that this life might
terminate in pover ty and in chastisement
-inl the poor-house or the prison. Had
it so ended, Fisk himself would doubtless
have suffered pangs enough to satiate
even the wrath of Stokos; for obscurity
and penury would have had real terrors
for this prosperous charlatan, who bask
ed in publicity and in the pomps of
wealth like a goldfish in his sunlit bowl
of glass. But from such a denouement
of his life's brazen comedy, the hostile
hand of Stokes has saved him. . .
Truly the revenge of Stokes was tho
pleasure of a foul.
But it was more than this. It was a
crime not only against the statute law of
the land and the decalogue, by both of
which the killinig even of such fantastical
and ofi ending members of the body poli
tic as James Fisk, Jr.,is pronounced an act
uncommendable and worthy of punish
mnent, but also against the moral influ
ences by which a community is trained
and bred either to honor things honora
ble or to go astrav after gods of brass
anid clay. The career of such a man as
Jame-s Fisk, .Jr., was not only a stand
ing disgrace to the generation in which
he lived, but an example of evil onien to
the generation which is to come.
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
It is deeply to be regretted, for the
sake of example, that bo did not live to
be overtaken by the inevitable disgrace
which was pressing at his heels. In the
midst of our regret and indignaticn for
the deed of blood which has struck him
down, public opinion has no more impera
tive duty than that of avoiding all sym
pathy with his character and life.
"Speak nothiing hut good of the dead,"
is a mnaxim in manners which naust give
way w hen morals are at stake. The
man whose frail virtue has not always
been proof against temptation, but whiose
life has been incnspicuoue, will easily
ind in death oblivion to his errors, and
may sleep under his plausible epitaph
among the just without provoking a
whisper of his name in answer to the

ful allegory is translated from the Ger
man:
Tophronious a wise teacher, would not
suffer even his own grown-up sons and
daughters to ass)cciate with those whose
conduct was not pure and upright.
"Dear father," said the gentle Eulalia
to him one day, when be forbade her,
in company with her brother, to visit the
volatile Lucinda, "dear father, you must
think us very childish, if you imagine
that we should be exposed to danger by
it."
The father took;iu silence a,dead coal
from the hearth, and reached to his
daughter. "It will not burn you, my
child; take it."
Eulalia did so; and behold ! her deli
cate white hand was soiled and blackened
and, as it chanced, her white dress
also.
"We cannot be too careful in handling
coals," said Eulalia, in vexation.
"Yes, truly," said the father; you
see, my child, that coals, even if they do
not burn, blacken. So it is with the
company of the vicious."- Household.
A BEAUTIFUL CouMPAIuso.-Rev. T
Dewitt Talmage, now of Brooklyn, closed
a sermon as follows:
Seated, at a country fireside, the other
day, I saw Jhe fire kindle, blaze, and gn
out, and I gathered up from the hearth
enough for my reflections. Our mortal
life is just like the fire on that hearth
We put on the fresh faggots, and the
Bame bursts through, and up, and out,
gay of sparkle, gay of flash, gay of
crackle-emblems ofboyhood. Then the
fire reddens into I coals. The heat is
fiercer, and the more it is stirred, the
more it reddens. With sweep of flame
it clears its way till all the hearts glows
with intensity-etablem of full manhood.
Then comes the whiteness in the coals.
The flickering shadows have died along
the walls. The faggots drop apart. The
household hover over the expiring em
bers. The last breath of smoke has
been lost up the chimney. Fire is out.
Shovel up the white remains. Ashes!
A LITTLz TRUr.--The New York
Tribune, in some comments upon sundry
sharp criticism upon Rev. Mr. Hep
worth's late renunciation of Unitarian
ism, which have been published by some
of his old denominational associates,
says: "We begin almost to despair of
finding anything worthy to be called
Christian charity in all the land. We
are all blandly liberal until somebody
treads upon our own theological corns,
and then we at once discover that the
offender isn't much of a man and a
brother after all." It wont require any
great amount of self-examination for any
man to satisfy hiinself of the truth of
that last sentence.
Peter Cartwright, the pioneer Metho
dist, used to be annoyed by a noisy but
over-pious sister, who would go off on a
high key every opportunity she got. At
an animated class-meeting one day, the
;urcharged sister broke out with, "If I
had one more feather in the wing of
my faith, I could fly away and be with
the Saviour." "Stick in the feather, oh,
[,ord, and let her go," fervently respond

A PrnY SERMON To YOMG 319.
You are the architects of your own for
tunes. Rely upon your own strength of
body and soul. Take for your motto,
self-reliance, perseverance and plock.
and inscribe on your banner, "Be just
and fear not." Don't take too much
advice, keep at the helm and steer yoW
own ship. Strike out. Think well at
yourself. Fire above the mark you is
tend to hit. Assume your position.
Don't practice excessive humilitf ye
can't get above your level-water dnt
ruu up bill-put potatoes on a cart ever
a rough rqad and the smal ones will v
to the bottom. Euergy, invincible de
termination, with a right motive are the
levers that rule the world. The. gret,
art of commanding is to take a fair axre
of the work. Civility costs nothing and
buys everything. Don't drink; dent
sm)ke; don't swear; don't gamb:e;
don't steal; don't deceive; don't tatle.,
Be polite; be generous; be kind. Study'
hard; play hard. Be earnest. Be self
reliant. Read good books. Love your
fellow men as your God; love yor
country and obey the laws; love truth;
love virtue. Always do what conscione
tells you to be duty and leave the conse
quence with God.

The Turf; Fjeld and Farm, after doing,
Fisk fair justice, and bestowing a little
sympathy on Stokes, says:
The lesson of the startling tragedy is
plain. Society rests upon a moral hei
and we must not openly defy morality.
Successes not won in the field of honor,
in time become mountains to overIhelt
those who thus grasp suess. The re
ligious senti:nent helps to hold is to
gether as a people, and it will not he
well with us if we scoff at it. We meet
walk righteously, soberly, and practice
the precepts of honesty. This may
sound like a sermon, but if JaMes Fisk
and Edward S. Stokes had walked as
Christian men walk, the one would not
now sleep under the clay of the Ver
mont hills, and the other would not oc
cupy a prison cell, awaiting to be tried
for his life.
