a deluge of public documents?senator
stockton on the franking privilege.
We Copy from the Congressional Globe a re?
port of the speech delivered by Senator Stock?
ton, of New Jersey, on the abolition of the
franking privilege. The raillery addressed to
the Republican members on the intolerable
bore of their speeches, against which the peo?
ple protest in their petitions for the abolition,
will be found pleasant reading:
Mr. Stockton"?Mr. President, I was called
out of the Senate Chamber a few minutes ago,
and when> I went out the Senator from Wiscon?
sin. (M.r Howe) was speaking on this bill; and
as I passed out of the Chamber I heard him
say that if the object of this franking privilege
was to enable us to be schoolmasters and edu?
cate the people he would send all' his speeches
to his Democratic friends to enlighten them.
Last night the Senator from Nevada (Mr. Stew?
art) said he was in favor of this bill because he
would like the Democrats to have an opportu?
nity of printing their speeches on the bill to
enforce the fifteenth amendment. Now, Mr.
President, I always listen to the Senator from
Wisconsin and the Senator from Nevada with
great interest. I trust that my constituents,
having afforded me the great pleasure of sitting
here and listening to them, of taking advantage
of their grace of manner as well as their beauty
of diction, it will be long before thev recall me
from these halls and deprive me of that estima?
ble privilege. (Laughter.) But, sir, in the
ordinary course of human events I may be
taken away; and then what a consolation in
my declining years to be able to read the beau?
tifully rounded periods of my friends on the
other side, to be enabled to lay down those
"grand old masters whose footsteps sound
through the corriders of time," and take up the
speeches of the Senator from Nevada and the
Senator from Wisconsin, to console the closing
hours of my life. A happy retirement passed
in receiving those valuable documents! (Laugh?
ter.) But, sir, I hope that I shall always have
two cents on hand to pay for the document
when it arrives; and if I do not, perhaps a
grateful constituency ma}' make some provision,
so that I may console myself in my declining
years in that way without putting the country
to the enormous expense now imposed upon it.
Mr. President, these petitions have come in
here as the great spontaneous outpourings of
an ove?-burdened people. They come to Con?
gress praying you to abolish this enormity
which is pressing them. They poured in their
petitions day by day and hour by hour, until
the Senate had not time to receive them, but
had to make a general rule that they should be
handed in at the Secretary's table without the
ceremony of presentation. The House of Rep?
resentatives passed this bill in hot haste to
tdease their constituents; and yet the Senate
seems to be inclined, not to kill it decently, not
to kill the mcasvre promptly, not to vote direct?
ly upon it, but to worry it to death, as a dog
would worry a cat; to make it die in spasms, in
fits. Can they not let it die decently ? Mr.
President, remember that it was stated last
night by the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Car?
penter) that there were thirty-three thousand
people who had the franking privilege. Out of
that thirty-three thousand who have the frank?
ing privilege how many of them arc Demo?
crats? There is not an office-holder who is a
Democrat. Nobody but members of the House
of Representative and the Senate?seventy-five
Democrats?out of thirty-three thousand frank?
ing officials, at the outside. But, sir, whv :'s it
the people come here to beg you to abolish the
franking privilege ? The Senator from Wis?
consin tells us that he has spent $300 out of his
own pocket to send Republican speeches all
over the country, and that $00,000 was spent in
sending speeches from Washington throughout
the country. I should like, as I said before,
to pass my declining years in reading those
speeches. But I have an infatuated constituen?
cy. (Laughter.) They have become sick, they
are nauseated with this stuff that has been sent
from Congress to them under these thirty-three
thousand franks, and they hope and pray you
to abolish it. Their stomachs will stand* no
more of what has been ?ent to them. (Laugh?
ter.) They have asked you for a fish and you
have sent them a serpent. They have asked
you for bread?
Mr. Warner?Allow me to ask the Sena?
tor
Mr. Thurman?No, oh, no; do not inter?
rupt
Mr. Stockton?The country will never
know now how that sentence would have end?
ed, on account of the Senator's interruption.
(Laughter.) The Senate will never know ; pos?
terity will never know; you, Mr. President will
never know; the world will never know how
that sentence would have terminated on account
of the unfortunate interruption of the Sjnator
from Alabama.
Mr. Drake?I hope the Senator from New
Jersey when he scintillates on that side of the
Chamber will not confine it to that particular
region, hut will allow us to hear him on this
side.
Mr. Stockton?Mr. President, can you im?
agine?perhaps some of you have witnessed
such scenes?a boat at sea with a shipwrecked
'irev, and women and children on board. On
the third or fourth day the last drop is out of
the fresh water. After a day or two a man be?
comes insane and jumps overboard; and then
another, unable to endure his agony any long?
er, leans over the side and drinks the salt wa?
ter and drinks his own destruction, drinks
poison at every drop he drains. Sir, that has
Seen the effect of the franking privilege on the
people. The people were athirst and they
cried out for relief, and vou sent them, not
pure water, not what would quench their thirst,
but you sent them a nauseating draught that
drov<; them to delirium. Therefore, the peo- 1
pie have come here, with one voice, demand?
ing that you keep your medicine; they want
no more of it Mr. President, I remember J
when I was a boy, I think in one of Walter
Scott's histories, a torture invented in the '
Highlands for an enemy, which has been con-1
sidered bv many as one of the most severe that
has ever been inflicted. The prisoner was let
down into a deep cavern and kept there for
many days without food, and when the craving
of hia hunger had become most intense they
let down- a piece of salt beef, which he seized
and greedily devoured. After a time, when
thirst almost choked him, they let down a cup,
which he seized with avidity, but the cup was
found empty. So have the people of this
country grasped at this yellow-covered litera?
ture; so nave they seized this empty cup ; and
so they have come here to Congress and said,
"Abolish the franking privilege ; give us no
more documents ; no more empty cups to tan?
talize our thirst beyond endurance." Sir, I
shall cast my' vote, heartily, freely, and do all
-that in my^power I firirly can, to abolish it, be
?ftiwe Congress is not the school-master of the
nation. The speeches and the lessons that are
sent out from Congress to the people do no
good, but harm. One would have thought that
after this war was over doctrine* like those to
be found in the fifth chapter of Matthew, the
"Sermon on- the Mount," would have gone out
from Congress, that peace was to be spread
throughout the land; that the doctrines of
peace would have been disseminated from out
Che North to the South, and all through the
country. Oh, with what joy would I have
franked those documents! With what joy
would thepeople have received such docu?
ments ! What a glorious name would you
have made for yourselves. Then Senators
would not have been seen rising in this Cham?
ber and saying "my Democratic friend," or
"my Republican friend." We would have been
one party and one people in this country from
north to south, from ocean to ocean. But no;
that was not the spirit that prevailed; those
gentle words were not uttered; but in their
place "rebel," "traitor;" "such things will nev?
er be forgotten." The fact that a civil war ex?
isted, that men differed in their construction of
the Constitution, is overlooked altogether.
This is forgotten, but not the bitter phrases.
It is said that "the men who went out of this
Chamber violated their oaths, committed per?
jury ;" calling political offences, for the pur?
pose of making an argument, by a name only
found in the criminal calendar. Such were
the terms and such were the speeches that have
been sent broadcast throughout this land, and
hence the people come to you and say: "Send
us no more of them, no more Radical speech?
es."
"No more on't, Hal, as thou lov'st me."
Now, Mr. President, I do not pretend to be a
prophet ; I am as likely to be mistaken as any
other person; but I tell you, abolish or do not
abolish this franking privilege, and you will
find out that at the bottom of the signing of
of these petitions was much more than the
Postmaster General and his deputies conceived,
much more than the arguments that have been
used in this Chamber seem to indicate; it
was the outspoken voice of the people who
want no more such talk as we have so often
heard in this Chamber.
True Charity.?Night kissed the young
rose, and it bent softly to sleep. Stars shone,
and pure dew-drops hung upon its bosom, and
watched its sweet slumbers. Morning came
with its dancing breezes, and they whispered to
the young rose, and it awoke joyous and smil?
ing. Lightly it danced to and fro in all the
loveliness of health and youthful innocence.
Then came the ardent sun-god, sweeping from
the East, and he smote the young rose with his
scorching rays, and it fainted. Deserted and
almost heart-broken, it drooped to the dust in
its loneliness and despair. Now the gentle
breeze, which had been gamboling over the sea,
pushing on the home-bound bark, sweeping
over hill and dale?by the neat cottage and still
brook?turning; the old mill, fanning the brow
of disease, and frisking the curls of innocent
childhood?came tripping along on her errands
of mercy and love; and when she saw the
voung rose she hastend to kiss it, and fondly
bathed its forehead in cool, refreshing showers,
and the young rose revived and looked up and
smiled in gratitude to the kind breeze; but she
hurried quickly away ; her generous task was
performed, but not "without reward; for she
soon perceived that a delicious fragrance had
been poured on her wings by the grateful rose ;
and the kind breeze was glad in heart, .and
went away singing through the trces.-^afcus,
true Charity, like the breeze, gathers fragrance
from the drooping flowers it refreshes, and un?
consciously reaps a reward in the performances
of its offices of kindness, which steals on the
heart like a rich perfume, to bless and to cheer.

s A Western Paradise.?The climate of
.trizona in winter is liner than that of Italy.
It would scarcely be possible to suggest an im?
provement. I never experienced such exqui?
site Christinas weather as we enjoyed during
our sojourn. Perhaps fastidious people might
object to the temperature in the summer, when
the rays of the sun attain their maximum force
and the hot winds sweep in from the desert.
It is said that a wicked soldier died here, and
was consigned to the fiery regions below for his
manifold sins; but being unable to stand the
rigors of its climate, was sent back for his
blankets. I have often heard complaint that
the thermometer failed to show the true heat,
because the mercury dried up. Everything
dries?wagons dry, men dry, chickens dry ;
there is no juice left in anything, living or dead,
by the close of summer. Officers and soldiers
arc supposed to walk about creaking; mules, it
is said, can only bray at midnight, and 1! have
heard it hinted that the carcasses of cattle rat?
tle inside their hides, and that snakes find a
difficult in bending their bodies, and horned
frogs die of apoplexy. Chickens hatched at
this season, come out of theshell already cook?
ed ; bacon is eaten with a spoon, and butter
must stand an hour in the sun before the flies
become dry enough for use.?John Ross Rrou-nc.
Fes IX COCRT.?The New York Lockport
Union prints a good joke which was lately per?
petrated upon Judge Baker while presiding in
the Supreme Court in that city. On. rcissem
bling after dinner one of the twelve jurymen
was rather slow in making his appearance, so
tardy, in fact, that impatience at the seeming
unnecessary delay was plainly manifest in tho
countenances of the learned gentlemen of the
bench and bar. The tiresome and vexatious
monotony was relieved, however, by the follow?
ing laughable incident: A dog had accompa?
nied his master to court, and while hunting
around the room for a comfortable place in
which to ensconce himself, very luckily, as he,
no doubt, supposed, found the unoccupied chair
of the absent iuryman, and, without waiting to
be summoned, immediately took possession
thereof. The Judge, addressing the learned
and eloquent Hon. A. P. Laning, of Buffalo,
said: "You see, Mr. Laning, that the jury?
men's sctits are all occupied. Are you ready to
[)roceed?" The distinguished pleader raised
lis glasses to his eyes, and, after a brief survey
of the jury-box, made the following witty re?
ply: "Your Honor, the fellow might do Ibra
judge, but I should hate to trust him fora jury?
man." The good-natured Judge joined heartily
in the merry laugh that followed, and proved
that he could take as well as give a joke.
Thought He'd Wade.?It was election day.
and Grimes having assisted on the occasion by
the deposit of his vote and the absorption of as
much old rye as he could walk under, started
with two of his neighbors, who were in the same
state of elevation, to make their way to their
homes. They had to cross the Wissahiekon
creek by a foot-bridge constructed by a single
log thrown across and hewed flat on the upper
side, but without any band-mil to aid in the
transit. There would have been no difficulty
with clear head and steady legs in crossing, but
with our party it was felt to he not devoid of
difficulties under tho existing circumstances.
However, the creek must be crossed. Grimes'
friends took the lead, and with much swinging
of arms and contortion of the body, reached the
farther side. It was now Grimes' turn to face
the music, and making a bold start, he succeed?
ed in getting about one-third of the way over,
when a loud splash announced to his friends that
he was overboard. Emerging from the water,
it being about up to his breast, he quietly said,
as if his course was the result of mature de?
liberation : "I guess I'll wade !"
? Envious people should not always mist to
first impressions. A venerable Danbury lady,
of rather credulous turn of mind and a poor
stretch of vision, saw a pair of gravs dash by
her window one day last week, and, In an agony
of envy, she shook" her fist at the establish?

my turn by-and-bv." The handsome grays

Southern Memories.
A eotemporary very reasonably asks the
question, "Will it ever become burdensome or
annoying to the people of the South to read or
to hear of the Southern Confederacy?ite glo?
ries, its triumphs, its defeats ?"
The question has more than once occurred to
us, and we sometimes fear that, with a large
class of our people, the records of the grand
struggle for Southern independence have be?
come wearisome.
We are all, more or less, yielding to the in?
fluences which are operating to bury the mem?
ories along with the animosities of the past.
The age is decidedly materialistic, and we are
hurried along so rapidly as it were upon an
iron track that all of the old landmarks are
fading away in the distance. The stories of
Southern valor and devotion seem to be grow?
ing common-place and tedious ; a soldier with
an armless sleeve dangling by his side, or a
wooden leg to supply a lost limb, excites but
little interest; an appeal for charity does not
receive more attention because it may come
from a widow and children who were left with?
out support when an enemy's bullet .pierced a
gray jacket, or when lingering disease con?
sumed the life of a husband and father in
6ome hospital, away from home and perhaps
friends.
And this disposition to ignore so much that
should be cherished does not proceed from any
excess of loyalty to the powers that be, but oh
account of sheer indifference and that forget
fulness which is so ungrateful, and it is be?
coming more obvious every year. Our memo?
ries are not cherished with the same fondness
that they were when fresh, and, with but too
many, the affections which were born of the
war lie buried far deeper than the heroes who
fell in battle or died in hospitals. This is seen
by the small number of persons who generally
engage in the floral decoration of the graves
of our fallen soldiers. It is painfully evident
.in the unsightly condition of neglected ceme?
teries where hundreds lie buried. But some
complain that it is a waste of money to devote
it to the erection of monuments and the wall?
ing of cemeteries. For this reason the bleach?
ed bones of the fallen have whitened ploughed
up battle-fields, and then mouldered to dust
and mingled with the common earth. But
such men have always pleaded against such
"useless" expenditures since the day when the
the woman poured precious ointment on the
Saviour's bead and a disciple rebuked her for
a waste of what might have been sold and
brought money into the treasury.
Let it be borne in mind that the South con?
tended for a principle which is itself eternal,
and although the arms which so long and so
gloriously upheld it have been conquered, vet
this controlling principle is an imperishable
treasure which is beyond surrendering, and no
earthly power can retrench the smallest frac?
tion from it. Then, ought we not to esteem it
no less a privilege than a duty to hold in
grateful remembrance those who freely cave up
life itself in defending what we yet believe to
be right? And besides, right or wrong, we
should delight to honor the memory of every
soldier because he was actuated by pure mo?
tives. And, if that time should ever come
when we of the South shall cease to cherish
these memories, we shall then show ourselves
unworthy to be called citizens under any gov?
ernment, for he who deserts a living comrade
or forgets a fallen one, is fit only for treason.?

An Amusing Incident.?One of the most
ludicrous incidents which ever disturbed the
equanimity of a Court of Justice, occurred i then
trial of a case during the present Term before
Judge Orr. It was enough to have provoked
a smile from Old Rhadamanthushimself, much
more from the genial temper and serene benig?
nity of the presiding Judge.
It occurred in this wise : Some progress had
been made 7n the case of the State against Vir?
gil Madden, the learned counsel had been dis?
cussing the relevancy of certain evidence, and
the Judge with the scales of even-handed jus?
tice suspended, was applying the legal tests,
when lo! one of the jury seats was discovered
to be vacant?and one of the twelve units
which make up the integral whole of the jury
wisdom was found to be wanting. Who first made
the discovery we believe is as unsettled a ques?
tion, as the identity of the person "who struck
Billy Patterson." But the discovery was made,
and a constable posted after the defaulter. As
might he supposed he proved to he some of our
colored brethren, and with the innocence ofthc
lamb, and the deference of a master of cere?
monies, faced the irate Judge. The following
colloquy thereupon ensued;
Judge?What did you mean, sir, by leaving
your seat without the permission of the Court?
Juror?I thought, sir, whilst you was talking,
I'd step out a bit."
Judge?Do you not know, sir, that you are
sworn to try this case, and to hear the evidence.
Juror?Yes, sir, but I heard right smart, and
thought that was enough.
This last rejoinder was the feather's weight
, that broke the camel's back and upset the grav?
ity of the Court, Jury, Bar, et. al. The thun?
ders of the law were powerless, justice was dis?
armed, and mercy held its own. The juror was
requested to take his seat. The Court felt that
a lecture would have been out of place. Like
\ the wagoner whose apples were spilt, he felt he
"couldn't do the subject justice." It was Syd?
ney Smith, we think, who said that it would re?
quire a surgical operation to implant a humox
\ ous perception into a certain individual's head
?the Court, we believe, felt it to he equally
difficult to engraft a perception of legal obliga?
tion into that juror's brain.?Abbeville Press and
Banner.
The Politcal OuTLook.?The Albany
i Argun has been reviewing the political situation
and prospects, and comes to the conclusion that
with proper effort the Democracy can carry the
following States:
New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary?
land, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ala?
bama, Louisiana, Texas, Akansas, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minne?
sota, Nebraska, Nevada, California and Oregon.
These States cast an aggregate of two hundred
and twenty-two electoral votes, or more than
two-thirds of the whole number of the electoral
college. The Nashville Union and American
has some doubts, however, as to the ability of
the Democracy to carry New Hampshire, Wis?
consin, Minnesota and Nevada. Tlic "natives"
of those States are so thoroughly imbued with
Radicalism and fanaticism that we fear a whole
decade at least will elapse before they can be
brought to a realizing sense of the error of
their ways and the need of repentance. The
other States named, with a fair election, will
give Democratic majorities, and those States
elect one hundred and sixty-two members of
Congress, two-thirds of whom should be Demo?
crats, and these, together with those members
we should elect in the more doubtful and Rc
publican States, would give us a majority in the
next House of Representatives. The prospect
is very flattering for the Democrats to carry the
next House of Representatives by agoodwork
ing majority, and the Radicals feel that this is
so.

there arc not strawberries enough, and she looks
at Mr. Smith with a sweet smile, and offers to
help him (at the same time kicking him gently
with her slipper under the table). He always
replies, "No, I thank you, my dear, they don't
agree with me."

of her hair would lead one to look upon it as
though it was spun by the nimble Angers ofthc
easy hours as they glided -through bright June
days, whose sunny rays of light had been caught
in the meshes, and were content to go no father."
Joe Bowers expresses the same thing by saying :
"Her hair was awful red."

Taking the Census?Bales for Assistant Mar*
shals*
"Fat Contributor," in the Cincinnati Times,
publishes the following rules for the guidance
of census-takers, who will doubtless appreciate
his kindness:
Notwithstanding the fact that the Superin?
tendent of the Census has issued quite minute
instructions to the Assistant Marshals, we ven?
ture to assist in making their duties more plain
to them. Each Assistant Marshal should cut
these instructions out and paste them carefully
in his hat.
The enumeration is to be made by actual in?
quiry at every dwelling-house, unless the head
of the house is out in the barn, when you may
inquire there, but not otherwise. This duty
must be performed by the Assistant Marshal
alone; he can't send a boy.
Marshals must take pains to employ intelli
gible terms. If a man is a "shoemaker," no
matter if he calls himself a minister or an ed?
itor, put him down as a shoemaker.
Don't call a man an "artist" because he goes
out whitewashing, or "sailor" simply because he
tends a saw-mill. A man may be "engaged in
a bank," and yet be nothing but a burglar,
and you must be careful and make the distinc?
tion.*
When a lawyer, a merchant or a manufactu?
rer has retired from business, say "retired law?
yer," "retired merchant," &c. If a man has
served a term in the penitentiary you may say
"retired convict."
Distinguish between stone-masons and free?
masons.
Be particular and never describe a woman as
an "old maid," if you ever expect to travel that
way again.
In the tobacco business make the proper dis?
tinction between wholesale and retail and
"pigtail."
Separate the cooks and waiters at the hotels,
particularly if they have male cooks and female
waiters.
When you find men who are ashamed or
afraid to tell what their occupation is, you may
set them down as of "no occupation," for it is
evident they have no occupation to speak of.
Use the term "huckster in all cases where it
applies. If any one objects, let the old huck
stir about it all he pleases. That's all the good
it will do him.
When you employ the -term "packer," indi?
cate whether you mean "crockery-packer,"
"mule-packer," "pork-packer," or Governor
Packer, of Pennsylvania.
In using the term "Judge," let us know
whether he is a judge of a court, whisky or a
horse-race.
Officials should have their profession desig?
nated, if they have any, as "Retired merchant,
Governor of Massachusetts ;" "Bone-boiler,
Representative in Congress; " " Rum-seller,
member of the Legislature," etc., etc.
Be particular to distinguish beween farmers
and farm-hands. This can be done by observ?
ing which call the other up in the morning.
It is unnecessary to inquire the occupation
of children under a year old. Set them down
under the general head of "milkers."
When an able-bodied young man depends
upon a poor and feeble old mother for a support,
set him down as a "loafer."
Be very particular in taking "Diseases,"
particularly small-pox. The Census Bureau
desires all the statistics possible regarding
small-pox, and Assistant Marshals must give
their personal attention to it
Among Social Statistics the amount of court?
ing done by our young people is important.?
Careful and delicate inquiry will result in an
accurate and valuable estimate of the amount
of gas, oil, tallow candles, &c, consumed in
"sitting up" Sunday nights.
We trust that with the above rules always at
hand the census takers will be enabled to per?
form their duty creditably and satisfactorily.
Buying a Horse and Buggy.
The following originally appeared in the
Buffalo Express. It is so very good that it will
bear many repetitions : ?
C--P, an attache of one of the Pennsyl?
vania railroads, but well known ir. Buffalo as
an inveterate practical joker, happened in
Cleveland the other day, and the weather being
mild, warm, he conceived the happy idea of
taking the fair object of his adoration out ri
Iding. Donning his best suit, he started post
haste for the nearest livery stable. He was a
partial stranger in the vicinity, and the livery
stable keeper not knowing him, and imagining
possibly, lroin the state of nervous excitement
in which he presented himself, "something was
up," refused to let him take a horse and buggy.
"But," remonstrated C-r, "I am good for
a dozen horses and buggies."
"Very well, then, leave me some security,"
?demanded the suspicious liven' man.
"How much do you consider your darn'd
rig worth ?" angrilv asked our friend,
"About 3350."
"If I buy it now and pay you $350 in cash,
will you agree to buy it back for the same sum
when I get through with it ?" asked C-p.
"Certainly, sir," politely responded the own?
er, who thought he saw a chance for a good
: bargain. ?
"All right. Here's your money ;" and jump?
ing into the the vehicle, C-p drove ofT to
the residence of his expectant Angelina.
Of course she was ready, and of course a
pleasant drive was enjoyed. Up one and down
another of those beautifully laid out avenues
of Cleveland they rode, breathing the fresh and
balmy atmosphere of a glorious spring day, ad?
miring the handsome residences which line the
streets, C--r talking sweet nonsense all the
while, and Angelina looking as if she felt
transported to the seventh heaven of delight.
For two hours did the happy couple ride and
admire the ncwly-dcvelopcu beauties of nature,
when the sinking sun reminded our hero that
official duties awaited his attention; and leav?
ing his fair companion at the door of her resi?
dence, he drove back to the livery stable.
"Well," said he to the proprietor, "you sec I
am here again, and I presume you arc ready to
buy this rig back."
"Yes sir, I trust I am a man of my word,"
coolly responded that individual, at the same
time handing C???r $350 in greenbacks,
which our friend quietly stowed away in an in?
side pocket, and was moving off, when?
"Hold on here," cried the livery man, "you
havn't paid for your two hours use of this ere
horse and buggy ?'
"What do you mean T in tum responded
C??-p: "Didn't I buy that horse and buggy
of you two hours ago ?"
"Yes."
"Well, then, what in the creation do you
mean by asking me to pay for the use of my
own rig V retorted C-p, as he moved off
with well-assumed indignation, while the stable
hands and bystanders smiled audibly.
A Model Speech.?A Toledo paper gives
this as a correct report of a speech recently
dclivercd by a Radical member of a school
board in that section:
Mr. Cheerman, I rise for to?that is to make
a motion, which is as follows: Resolved, that
there are no need to build such costive school
housen as some of this ere board is proposin' to
'rect. No, Mr. Cheerman, I'm 'posed to spend
in' money for more housen. The old ones are
pretty good yit, and for to go for to build a
pretty slick house which will cost ten thousand
dollars, or more yit, its all wasted. Its no 'con
omy to throw away money we don't need.?
Taxes cost money, and money has to go to pay
taxes, and let us expense with any more school
housen.
? The following conundrum was cooked in
forty minutes to make it sufficiently hard.
What is the difference between a donkey and
the only empire in South America? The one
brays well and the other Brazil.
? What is the difference between the en?
trance of a barn and a loafer in a printing
office ? One is a barn door and the other is a
darn bore.
Girls .Should Learn to Keep House.
No young lady can be too well instructed in
anything which will affect the comfort of a
family. Whatever position in society she oc?
cupies, she needs a practical knowledge of
household duties, She may be placed in such
circumstances that it will not be necessary for
her to perform much domestic labor; but on
this account she needs no less knowledge than
if she was obliged to preside personally over
the cooking stove and the pantry. Indeed, I
have thought that it is more difficult to direct
others, and requires more experience, .than to
do the same work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and particu?
lar that they do not like to give up any part of
the care to their children. This is a great mis?
take in their management, for they are often
burdened with labor and need relief. Children
should be early taught to make themselves use?
ful ; to assist their parents every way in their
power, and to consider it a*privilege to do so,
Young people cannot realize the importance
of a thorough knowledge of housewifery; but
those who have suffered the inconvenience and
mortification of ignorance can well appreciate
it. Children should be early indulged in their
disposition to bake and experiment in various
ways. It is often but a troublesome help that
they afford; still it is a great advantage to them.
I know a little girl who at nine years old made
a loaf of bread every week during the winter.
Her mother taught her how much yeast, salt
and flour to use, and she became quite an ex
Eert baker. Whenever she is disposed to try
er skill in making simple pies or cakes, she is
permitted to do so. She is thus, while amus?
ing herself, learning an important lesson. Her
mother calls her little houskeeper, and often
permits her to get what is necessary for the ta?
ble. She hangs the keys by her side, and very
musical is the jingling to her ears. I think be?
fore she is out of her teens, upon which she
has not yet entered, that she will have some
idea how to cook.
Some mothers give their daughters the care
of housekeeping, each a week by turns. It
seems to me a good arrangement and a most
useful part of their education. Domestic labor
is by no means incompatible with the highest
degree of refinement and mental culture. Many
of the most elegant, accomplished women I
have known, have looked well to their house?
hold duties, and have honored themselves and
their husbands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and neat?
ness of the kitchen, have a great deal to do in
making life happy and prosperous. The charm
of good hosekeeping is in order, economy and
taste displayed in attention to little things; and
these things have a wonderful influence. A
dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driven
many a one from home to 6cek comfort and
happiness somewhere else. None of our ex?
cellent girls are fit to be married until they are
thoroughly educated in the deep and profound
mysteries of the kitchen.
Breaking it Gently.?"Yes, I remember
that anecdote," the Sunday-school Superinten?
dent said, with the (>\d pathos in his voice and
the old sad look in his eyes. "It was about a
simple creature named Higgins, that used to
haul rock for old Maltby. When the lamented
Judge Bagley tripped and fell down the Court
House stairs and broke his neck, it was a great
question how to break the news to poor Mrs.
Bagley. But finally the body was put into
Higgins' wagon and he was instructed to take
it to Mrs. B., but to be very guarded and dis?
creet in his language, and not break the news
to her at once, but to do it gradually and gent?
ly. When Higgins got there with his sad
freight he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to the
door. Then he said:
" 'Does the widder Bagley live here?'
" 'The widaw Bagley ? No, sir!'
" Til bet she docs. But have it your own
way. Well, does Judge Bagley live here*?'
" 'Yes, Judge Bagley lives here.'
" 'I'll bet he don't. But never mind?it ain't
for me to contradict. Is the Judge in ?'
" 'No, not at present.'
" T jest expected as much. Because, you
know?take hold o' sumthin', mum, for I'm
a-going to make a little communication, and I
reckon maybe it'll jar you some. There's been
an accident, mum. I've got the old Judge
curled up out here in the wagon?and when
you sec him you'll acknowledge, yourself, that
'an inquest is about the only thing* that could be
a comfort to him V "?Mart Twain.
Miss Nora O'Neal talks Biz.- -Miss
O'Neal has answered the chap who called her
"darling," "sweet," and all that. Here it is:
"Oh ! you say you are lonely wtihout me,
that you sigh for one glance of my eye: you're
blarneying always about me?Oh ! why don't
you to papa apply? You men arc so very de
J ceiving, I can't believe aught that you say;
1 your love I will only believe in when my joint?
ure is made 'au fait.'
"This trash about eyes, voice and glancing
may do for a miss in her teens; but he who to
me makes advances must talk of his bank stock
and means. You beg me to go galivauting, to
meet you at the foot of the lane?with a kiss,
too! why mau you arc rantin ! do you think I
am wholly insane ? When you woo a lady oi
sense, sir, don't whine about sorrow and tears;
ij.'s a matter of dollars aud cents, sir, no tale of
romance interferes. 0! poverty is not very
funny, (my style I'll not try to conceal,) if I
can't get a husband with money, I'll live and
die Nora O'Neal."
? A contemporary, noticing the appoint?
ment of a friend as postmaster, savs: "If he
attends to the mails as well as he does to the
females, he will make a very attentive and
efficient officer."
? An exchange says: "You might as well
attempt to shampoon the head of an elephant
with a thimbleful of soapsuds, as to attempt to
do business and ignore printer's ink."" That's
so.
? An assistant marshal, in taking the census
in Louisville, asked a colored woman what
personal property she possessed, and received
the sober reply/"Nothing hut dese three chil?
dren ycre, and they ain't wuth much."
? A certain boarding house was very much
infested by vermin. A gentleman who slept
there one night, told the landlady so in the
morning, when she said : "La, sir, we haven't
a single bug in the house." "No ma'am," said
he, "they're nil married, and have large fami?
lies, too."
? Imagination, tew mutch indulged in, soon
is tortured into reality; this is one way that
good boss thieves are made; a man leans over
a fence all day, and imagines the hoss belongs
