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.

he has yet seen lias been on liisself. 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.
When Ezra graderated his orashun was
on "Knollege apurtection against the
kelamities of life." His mother and I

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. Mr. Borrit
received, a few davs since, a postal card
from an old friend in London congratulating
him on the snooeaafnl inaugnxa'
tfea of his idea.
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

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?

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. Seeming trifles lik<
this ir&ke life either happy or miserable

Bushing Through. '
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.
Half the success obtained in this life,
an exchange says, is owing, not so much <
to luck or capital, as to a vigorous
pounding away at the rough difficulties j
until the road to fortune is cleared of its barriers,
and a straight path opens to ]

Robbing the Mails.
A Boston dealer in seeds sends a com- <
munication to the Transcript regard- '
ing the caLcuL of the thievery practiced
in our post-office service. Sixteen hun- <
dred letters were stolen from him during (
a period of four 9t five months last year, i
and this year, between January 1 and J
May 20, he lias been compelled to apply ]
for four hundred and sixteen duplicate
money-orders to replace an equnl num- '
ber stolen. As only sums under one i
dollar are sent* in cash, the pilfering is (
small, but even this makes an individual <
loss of 8*2,000 n year, and does, besides, i
incalculable injury in damaging reputation
for business promptitude and honest
dealing, as well as in disappointing
plans for tho planting of crops and gardens.

Advice for Dull Times.
Advertising is a great bother. It only
brings a lot of folks to your pbco of busi- I
ness. If they want you let them hunt
you up. 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.
