LIVING ON THE OLD MAN. How * Mta " Fit" his Sans for College. The Providence Journal gives an indignant farmer room to vent his woes. The story is appropriate for this ooqjp menoement season: Mistur Editor?I hain't no eddication, and I thank God for it?Gov. Lippitt said in his kollege speech that edi cation paid better than mortgage at six per cent. Governor Lippitt, I ask you have you got such things as three highly edicated sons on your hands, what can't support themselves, and all living on the old man f You know you haint, and as I havo, I guess I know as much about this edication mattoi as you do. I cuss the day whon Iiturray ambition broke out in my family?I fit three sons to kollege, aud if I had not had one left to stay on the farm to work with me, we should all on us be tokin a deep interest in the annual appropriations for the poor of the town.

Ho has to swaro out of jail three times a week, regular trips he makes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, like the steamer Rhode Island from Stonington. * He lias got a pretty little hoflis as ever you see, with the legal works of Smollott, Byrons, and all of the great Jurists ranged ou shelves?the portrait of Bufus Chote and that gnrl what dances so good at the Theatur, hung up on the walls. We furnished him with all those necessaries of the legal profession, and although he smokes and drinks beer, and does all a young lawyer ought to do to win confidence and public esteem, it is all no go. He belongs to ten secret societies, and I tell him I wish to God he'd jine one * so secret that his creditors could not find him. He buys all his tobacco in my name for fear of its getting attached; and as for his beer, he drinks up five dollars' worth at a time, and then swears right out on.it. He is getting low-spirited now, and says that all the Blacks tono he wants to know about is the Blackstone river, with a big stone .ied to his heels, nuuui uuuut) inn mouier cry; but I told him ha was of age, and I had no control , over him. Poor Silas, when he graderated at kolx lege his orashun was on " A classical adication indnrspensible to success in life." His mother and I cried in the Baptist church when wo heerd him deliver it, we didn't know what for then, but hev since found it. I tell Silas that the only chance I see ahead for him is to take to drink strong, then reform, and maybe the temperance tklkn will shove him along to keep him moral and steady. My t'other boy, Ezra, studied for to be a doctor. The first case he had was Hawkins, that was gored so bad by Olney's big bulL Hawkins had six good stiff horns abroad of his own afore the bull muxed with him, whioh made it a bad case. Ezra wanted to be sore, so he gave him all the medicine he had on hand at onoe. Just as Hawkins was a dying he writ an affidavit that the treatment he received from the bull was generous and humane compared with that of his doctor. Hawkins' widow sued for malpractice, and her lawyer told the jury that M. D. stood for murderous doses, and that Ezra was drunk, and that lie was u doctor of many drams but few scruples. At this ioke the judge and jury laughed like split, and they gin a big verdict agin Ezra, and he had to run off to Californy. He drors small drafts on me often, so we know he is alive, which is more of a comfort to his mother than to myself.

Bat the saddest case of all was oar poor little Calvin. At the time when unthinking youths ore spent in laying stone walls or hoeing corn Calvin was seriously thinking of the more important work of saving souls. He entered college and was finally settled over a large parish at Heilbnrn Woods. For a few years things went smooth. He not only saved other s^ils, bat he meekly accepted his portion of the trinls and discipline of life by getting married and raising up a little family of souls oi his own Then his parish got tired of him and told him to quit, and they turned him off, as they do ministers, by passing a lot of resolutions about the pain it give to sunder such tender and hallicd ties. He and his hull family oome home to ns, and arter we got about osed up with them, I got Calvin's life insured for all I could, and he sailed ten months ago as a commissioner to a lot of ferocious cannibals. I have prepared my mind to see soon from the long of the tribe a letter Bomethinglike this: " Mr Dbar Sib?Your son Calvin arrived in good condition. While we regret to state that he disappointed us all sadly in regard to the amount of gravy, it gives me pleasure to add that he was tender and small-boned.' Should any other member of your estimable family feel inclined to Christianize us, sen a mm along. We can stand it as iong as you can. " Poor Calvin's ornsliun was on " The final results of the missionary enterprise." My other son was ntft edicated, and has staid on'the farm, and is the support and oomfort oI our declining years. He is so ignorant that he thinks the New York ?? is the ablest paper in the world, and the prevailing impression on his mind is that William the Conqueror took an active part in burning the Gaspee. For all that, he can support himself, and has money in the bank, which is more than his edicated brothers can say. My opinion is that a law ought to be passed making the corporation of a college liable for the debts of all their graduates. This would make them all plagy careful not to edicate any but them what was fit for it, and others might be roared what me and my poor wife has suffered. The ooean penny postage lately adopted was agitated thirty years ago by the Hon. Elihn Burritt.

OLD TIMES ON THE MISSISSIPPI Iif>Tinf Port-The I.on* IJnr or BoatoThp Kxritrmrnt. Mark Twain, in one of his character istic sketches of old times on the Mis sissippi river, gives us the following sketch : It was always the custom foi the boats to leave New Orleans be tween four and live o'clock in the after noon. From three q'olock onward the^ would be burning rosin and pitch pint (tho sign of preparation), and so ont had tho picturesque spectacle of a rank some two or three miles long, of tall ascending oolumns of coal-black smoke a colonnade which supported a sablt roof of tho same smoke blended togetlie: and spreading abroad over tho city Every outward-bound h?at had its flag flying at the jack staff, and sometimes i duplicate on the verge staff astern. Tw< or three miles of mates were command ing and swearing with more thau usuu emphasis; countless processions o; freight barrels and boxes were spinning down the slant of the lovee and flying abroad the stage-planks; belated pas sengers were dodging and skipping among these frantic thingjs, hoping tc reach the forecastle companion waj alive, but having thoir doubts about it women with reticules and bandboxet were trying to koep up with husband.' freighted with carpet-socks and crying babies, and making a failure of it by losing thoir heads in the whirl and roar and goneral distraction ; drays and baggagevans wore clattering hither and thithoi in a wild hurry, everv now and then fT.lt till r? V-.1 t - ? 5 ' " nuu JMUlUUiU togciner, j and then during ton seconds one t;oulcl not see thom for the profanity, except vaguely and dimly; evory windlass connected with every foro-hatch, fmm one end of that long array of steamboats to the other, was kooping up a deafening whiz and whir, lowering freight into the hold, and the liatf-naked crews oi perspiring negroes that worked them were roaring such songs as De La3' Sack ! De Las' Sack I?inspired to unimaginable exaltation by the chaos oi turmoil and racket that was driving everybody else mad. By this time the hurricane and boiler decks of the steamers would be packed and black with passengers. The "last bellg" would begin to clang, all down the line, and then the powwow seemed to double ; in a moment or two the fiual warning came?a simultaneous din oi Chinese gongs, with the cry : " All dat ain't goin', please to git osho' 1"?and behold, tho powwow quadruplet! ! People came swarming ashore, overturning excited stragglers that were trying to swarm aboard. One more moment later a long array of stage-planks was being hauled in, each with its customary latest passenger clinging to the end of it wi^i teeth, nails, and everything else, and the customary latest procrastinator making a wild spring shoreward over his head. Now a number of the boats slide backward into the stream, leaving wide gaps in the serried ranks of Bteamers. Citizens crowd the [decks of boats that are not to go, in order to see the sight. Steamer after steamer straightens her self up, gathers all her strength, one presently comes swinging by, undor i tremendous hoad of steam, with flag fly ing, black smoke rolling, and her entire crew of firemen and deck hands (usual! j swarthy negroes) massed together on the forecastle, the best "voicq" in the lol towering from the midst (being mounted on the canstanl. wnvino Viio >?? - e? - 1 . /> -o *?? l? l*?K, and all roaring a mighty chorus, while the parting cannons boom and the multi< tndinous spectators swing their hats am" huzza ! Steamer after steamer falls intc line, and the stately procession goee winging its way up the river. The Panel Thief. Now York is investigating her pane! thief business. Old police captains say these establishments are the most difli cult to break up, because the panel thiol takes the trouble to learn all about hci intended victim, and usually selects t stranger in the city, a man who has ? family and surroundings of a respectabh character, and one who has oonsidernbh self-conceit. Panel thieves tako a greal deal of pains, also, to learn how mucr will be necessary to pay their victim*! hotel bill and his fare home. When tin trap is all ready tney spring it, bu never take all the monoy their victin has. This precaution almost invariably keeps the victim from telling his loss 01 seeking aid to recover his property. Panel thieves do not take jewelry, noi any other article which can be idcnti fled, except when they find that the vie tim carries such a large sum of money about him that it is worth while to break UD the house for tlie sn.ko of if. they strip him, In such a case all the persons engaged in the robbery leave the city at once. When the victim brings the police to the house it is found to bo closed and empty, arrangements having been made previously to have the house cleared of its furniture. There are many modes of robbery similar in some respects to panel thieving, but in those the victim is strippeel of everj valuable thing, while panel tliievoe would soon have their business broken up if thoy pursued so reckless a course. Adornment of Home. Money which goes to buy a picture, statuetto or tasteful bracket for hom< adornment is wisely spent. If yonn? people, just commencing life, after thoj nave secured the few pieces of furniture that must be had, and made sure thai they are what they ought to be, have some money left to get a picture, an en graving, or a cast, they ought to go t< | work to supply this want as seriously as they would the other, which seemi the more neoessary, but in reality is no a bit more necessary. The genera character of a homo will make a grea difference to the children who grow uj in it, and to all whose experience is as sociated with it, whether it be abeauttfu and cheerful one, or only a homely anc bare one, or a merely formal and con entional one. The relation of them things to education is all that givei dignity or poetry to the subject, 01 makes it allowable for a reasonable mat to give much thought to it. But it hat a real vital relation to life, and plays ai important part in education, and do serves to be thought about a great dea more than it is.

' Business success is not a loitering f. traveler who, of his own accord, will c wander on until finally ho reaches your i threshold. You must go after him, hunt A him up ; it may bo difficult to find him, but don't give up the search, push on j and on until you do meet him. The j journey may bo troublesome, but it is t sure to pay, and a handsome reward will [ result from your hard and honest push, f Shun all the slow stage coach ways of | urging on your abilities ; take the loco- i motive speed of push ; keep on the ' track ; avoid all tempting but unprofitable switches, and, with fires all aglow, and machinery well oiled, push on to the ' next station, and then to the next, and rest assured you will successfully reach the prjpor destination in full time, and 1 with a valuable load of paying freight.

Then if you get your name in tho paper you will bo bored with drummers and people from tho oonntry will call on you and you will have to show | them goods, and like enough have to do up bundles for them, which will exhAUst your stock so much that you will bo obliged to buy more goods, which is a j great trouble. If yoa advertise, too, it ; gives yonr place a reputation abroad ; folks will go there and crowd you, and mako it too lively. If you don't want to do anything keep as still as you con. The Good of It. As "to the good of it," says Gen. Hawloy, in an address on rifle shooting, it can provide in our country our strongest protection against a foreign war. There is no nation in the world but would hesitate to attack another whose soldiers were practiced long-range marksmen. Skill in accurate shooting would counterbalance military disci(>line. A regiment armed with breechoaders and drilled in marksmanship alone would put to route the bost drilled regiment of regulars before the latter could march half a mile. Raw troops who know they can shoot will possess confidence which otherwise would only como of months of training. It is therefore for the good of any nation which does not maintain n regular army that its citizens should know how to handlo the best firearms effectively. The introduction of long-ruuKo shootinor has dono much to improve the general skill of our people in the use of the riflo, as is shown at every target shoot ami in the numerous rifle clubs which have been formed all over the country. millions of intelligent women say that Dobbins' Electric Soap (made by Gragin & Co., Philadelphia) is in overy respoct the best soap ever made, and will do three times tho work of any other.
