MENTOR, 0., July 12.———General Garfield
has forwarded to Senator Hoar of Massachu-
setts the following letter of acceptance of the
nomination tendered him by the National
Republican convention : '
Mnx'ron, O , July 10, 1880.
Dear Sir—On the evening of the Sth of
J one last I had the honor to receive from you,
in the presence of the committee of which
you were chairman,thc official announcement
that the republican convention at Chicago
had that day nominated me as their candidate
for president. I accept the nomination with
gratitude for the confidence it implies, and
with a deep sense of the responsibilities it
imposes. I endorse the principles set forth
in the platform adopted by the convention.
On nearly all of the subjects on which it
treats my opinions are on record among the
published proceedings of congress. I venture,
however, to make especial mention of some
of the principal topics which are likely to
become subjects of discussion.
With out reviewing the controversies which
have been settled during the last twenty years,
and with no purpose or wish to revive the
passions of the late war,it should be said that,
while the republicans fully recognize,and will
strenuously defend all the rights reserved to
the state, they reject the pernicious doctrine
of state supremacy, which so long crippled
the functions of the national government,and
at one time brought the country very near to
destruction. They insist that the United
States is a. nation, with ample powers of self-
prcservatien, that its constitution and laws,
made in pursuance thereof,are the supremacy
of the land, that the right of the nation to
determine the method by which its own leg;
islature shall he created cannot be surrendered
without abdicating one of the fundamental
powers of the government, that the national
laws relating to the election of representatives
in congress shall neither be violated or evaded,
that every person shall be permitted to freely
and without intimidation cast his lawful vote
at such election and have it honestly counted
and that the casting of his vote shall not be
destroyed by the fraudulent vote of any other
person. The best thoughts and energies of
our people should be directed to these great
questions of national well—being in which all
have a common interest. Such efforts will
soonest restore to perfect peace those who
were lately in arms against each other, for
justice and good will will outlast passion,but
it is certain that the wounds of the war can—
not be completely healed and the spirit of
brotherhood cannot fully prevnde the whole
country until every eitizen,rich or poor,white
or black,is secure in the free and equal enjoy-
meat of every civil and political right guar-
anteed by the constitution of the laws.
Wherever the enjoyment of these rights is not
assured discontent will prevail, imigration
cease and the social and industrial forces will
continue to be disturbed by the emigration of
laborers and the consequent diminution of
prosperity. The national government should
exercise all its constitutional authority to put
an end to these evils, for the people and all
the states are members of one body and no
man can suffer without injury to all.
The most serious evils 'ch now afflict
the south arise from the fac that there is not
such freedom and tolerance of political opin-
ion and action that the minority party can
exercise an effective and wholesome restraint
upon the party rule which has become tyran~
nical and corrupt. The prosperity which is
made possible in the south by its great advan-
tages of soil and climate will never be realized
until every voter can freely and safely sup—'
port any party he pleases.
Next in importance to freedom and justice
is popular education, without which neither
justice or freedom can be permanently main-
tained. Its interests are entrusted to the
states and, the voluntary action of the people.
Whatever help the nation can afford should
be generously given to aid the states in sup—
porting the common schools, and it would be
unjust to the people and dangerous to the
constitution to apply portions of the revenues
of the nation or of the states to the support
of sectarian schools. The separation of the
church and statc’iu- everything relating to
taxation should be absolute.
0n the subject of national finances my
views have been so frequently and fully ex—
pressed that little is nccdcd in the way of an
additional statement. The public debt is
now so well secured and the rate of the an—
nual interest has been so reduced by refund—
ing, that rigid economy in expenditure and
the faithful application of our suplus revenue
to the payment of the principal of the debt
will gradually but certainly free the people
from its burdens and close with honor the
financial chapter of the war. At the same
time the government can provide for all or—
dinary expenditure and discharge its sacred
obligations to the soldiers of the Union and
the widows and orphans of those wlro fell in
its defense. The resumption of specie pay—
ments which the republican party so coura-
gcousl y and successfully accomplished has
removed from the field of controversy many
questions that long and seriously disturbed
the credit of the government and the business
of the country. Our paper currency is now
as national as the flag and resumption has not
only made it every where equal to ‘coin,' but ,
has brought into use our store of gold and
silver. The circulating medium is more abun-
dant than c ver before, and we need only to
maintain the equality of our dollars to insure
to labor and capital a measure of value from
the use of which no. one can suffer loss, The
prosperity which the country is now enjoying
should not be endangered by any Violent
change or doubtful financial experiments. In
reference to our custom laws, a policy should
be pursued which will bring revenue to the
treasury’and will enable the labor and capital
employed in our industries to compete favor-
ably in our markets with the labor and capi-
tal of foreign productions. We legislate for
the people of the United States, not for the
whole world and it is our glory that the
American laborer is more intelligent and
better paid than his foreign competitor. Our
country cannot be independent unless its
people with their- abundant natural resources
possess the requisite skill at any time to
clothe,arm and equip themselves for war and
in time of peace to produce'all the necessary
implements of labor. It was the manifest
intention of the foundersof the government
to provide for the common "defense, not by
standing armies alone, but by raising among
the people a greater army of artisans, whose
intelligence and skill should powerfully con-
tribute to the safety and glory of the nation.
Fortunately for the interests of commerce
there is no longer any formidable opposition
’ to the appropriations for the improvement of
our harbors and great navigable rivers, pro—
. vided that the expenditures for that purpose
are strictly limited to works of national im—
portance. 7 The Mississippi with its great
tributaries is of such vital importance to so
many millions of people that the safety of its
navigation requires exceptional consideration,
in order to secure to the nation the control of
all its waters. President Jefferson negotiated
the purchase of _a vast territory, extending
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean,
and the wisdom of congress should be invoked
to devise some plan by which that great river
shall cease to be a'tcrror to those who dwell
on its borders,and by which its'shippin'g may
safely carry the industrial productions of‘
twenty—five millions of people. The interests
of agriculture, Which is the basis of all our
material prosperity and in which seven—
twelfths of our population are engaged, as
.well as the interests of our manufactures
demand that the facilities for cheap trans—
portation shall be increased by the use of all
our great water courses. , _ ,
The material interests of this country, the
traditions of settlement and the sentiments
of our people have ,led the government to
offer the widest hospitality to emigrants,who
seek our shores fbr new and happier homes
willing to share the burdens as well as the
benefit of our society, and intending that
their posterity shall become an undistinguish-
able part of our population. The recent
movement of the Chinese to our Pacific coast
partakes but little of the qualities of such an
imigration either in purpose, or results. It
is too much like an importation to be wel—
comed without a restriction,too much like an
invasion to be looked upon without solicitude.
We cannot consent‘to a110w any forms of
servile labor to be introduced among us under
the guise of imigration. Recognizing the
gravity of this subject, the present adminis—
tration has sent to China a commission of
distinguished citizens for the purpose of
securing such a modification of the existing
treaty as will prevent the evils likely to arise
from the present situation; It is confidently
believed that these diplomatic organizations
will be successful without ,the loss of com—
mereial intercourse between the two powers
which promises a great increase of reciprocal
trade and the enlargement of our markets.
Should these efforts fail; it will bathe duty
of congress to mitigate the evils and prevent
their increase by such restrictions as without
violence or injustice will place upon a sure
foundation the peacebf our communities and
the freedom and dignity of labor.
The appointment of citizens to the various
executive and judicial offices of the govern-
ment is perhaps themostdifiicult of all duties
with the institution has imposed ~~~on a... .
executive. The convention wisely demands
that congress shall co—operate with the exec-
utive departments in placing the civil ser—
vice on a better ,basis. Experience flhas
proven that with our frequent changes of
administration no system of reform can be
made effective and permanent without the
aid of legislation. Appointments to the
military and naval service are so
regulated by law and custom as to
leave but little ground of complaint.
It may not be wise to make similiar regula—
tions by law for the civil service, but with—
out invading the authority or necessary dis—v
cretion of the executive, congress should
devise a method that will determine the
tenure of oflice and greatly reduce the un—
certainty which makes that servics so un—
satisfactory. Without depriving any ofl‘icer
of his rights as acitizen, the government
should require him to discharge all of his
official duties with intelligence, efficiency
and faithfulness. To select wisely from our
vast population those who are best .fitted for
the many offices, requires an acquaintance
far beyond the range of any one man, the
executive should therefore seek and receive
the information and assistance of those
whose knowledge of the communities in
which the duties are to be performed best
qualifies them to aid in making the wisest
choice. ‘ ' -
The doctrines announced by the Chicago
convention are not the temporary devices
of a party to attract votes and carry an elec—
tion, they are deliberate convictions result:
ing from a careful study of the spirit of our
institutions, the events of. our history and the
best impulses of our people. In my judg-
ment these principles should control the leg-
islation and administration of the govern-
ment. In any event they will guide my
conduct nntil experience. points out a better
way. If elected it will be my purpose to
enforce strict obedience to the constitution
and laws and to promote as best I may the
interest and honor of the whole country, rc-
lying for support upon the wisdom of con—
gress, the intelligence and patriotism of the
people and the favor of God. With great
respect, I am very truly yours,

“If I Only Had Capital};
“If I only had capital," we heard a young
man say, as he puffed away at a ten cent
cigar, “I would do something.”
“If I only had capital” said another as he
walked away from admin-shop where he had
just paid ten cents for a drink, “I would go
into business.” . .
The same remark might have been heard
from the young man loafing on the street
corner. Young man with the cigar, you
are smoking away your - capital. You from

you upon the street corner are wasting yours

Hancock in New Orleans.
ANASBY LETTER WRITTEN THIRTEEN YEARS
AGO.
Noo ORLEANS, Dec. 16, 1867.
To His Egglency A. Johnson, President as
the Yoom‘ted States:
1 found Noo Orleans in a. tremor of joy.
The principal biznis citizens is again about
the streets clappin their hands and hollerin
“Hallelujier.” The order of the grate and
good Hancock hez restored confidenz in the
buzznms uv our enemies. Juries, thank
God, are no more polluted with niggars onto
’em. They are now drawd from the old cit—
izens, many of which served under Boregard
in the late onpleasantness. Biznis therefor
goes'on without delay. Ez a sample of how
much biziness is faciliated, I may menshun
that In 1 court there wuz 44 cases in which
uiggers wuz plaintiff. and 45 in wich niggers
wuz defendants. The tryin uv all these
cases okepied 3 hours and 18 minutes, the
verdicts in the 44 cases being invariably fur
the defendants and in the 45 other cases fur
the plaintiffs. Uv the timcspecified 2 hours
and 23 minutes was consumed by the niggers
in paying the ecsts. It is a singular thing
how wrong the Diggers allus iz. '
In addishun to this boon, the citizens uv
Loosiana bed, I am happy to state, got back
their habis corpuscs. Gineral Hancock, with
a curage which I can’t too highly commend
ashoored the people that so long ez he hed
po aver here they shoozl never agin be depriv-
ed uv"em.
In Texas, affairs are going on as well ez
cood be expected. The gineral’:I order for
holdin elecshuns gives genralsatisfacshun to
our friends. The elecshuns are to be held
only ,at county seats, wich, owin to the Que
uv the counties, will probably prevent a
grate meny uv the.niggers from attendin.
Then where a judge uv elecshun can’t sit,
the civil authorities appoint another in his
sted, insted uv the military commander,
wicI our friens think will giv us a majority
on the elecshun boards, and finally thet wich
pertickerlerly binds General Hancock to us
iz that part uv hiz order wich prohibits the‘
military from bein at the polls. It is eggs-
tremely probable that the Ethopeans uv
Amerikin desent will be ginerally perswaded
not to vote at all. The citizens uv Texas
hev a way uv perswadin the niggers when
they ain’t uuconstitooshnually interfered
with, that will, I think, enshoor the triumph
uv correct principles in that state. A native
Texan, a gentleman who iz now in N00 Or—
leans a purchasin cartridges for seven inch
revolvers, to be used in reconstructin the
state, gave me sich informashuns az precloo-
ded the necessity uv my going personally to
inspect.
The land owners uv Texas, with an ardent
desire to avoid distress in that state next
winter, both fur theirselves and the colored
populashun, hev wisely determined thet the
niggers shel work wether or no, and in sich
a way az to make thcr work profitable.
They are going to form labor leagues, the
object of which is to extract from the nigger
the labOr that iz lying dormant into him, at?
about $12 per munth. They hev mootooal-
1y pledged themselves to pay no more than
$12 per month fur able bodied uiggers durin
the workin season, deductin board and so
forth fur their families; and further, that no
one will employ a nigger from another na-
borhood onless he kin show permishun from
his last employer. They hev other rools for
the proper regulashun uv this perverse pee-
ple wich is hardly worth menshunin, but
probably it wood be as well:
One is that ii the wafitxas uv the hi er is,
morn than is out. up by e family-e25 uses
the nigger shell work it out the next season,
and that the supplies upon which they live,
shell be furnished by the employer upon
such terms as a committee uv employers in
each .decstrick shell agree.
To prevent mismanagement uv the soil by
these undeveloped inteleks, and to enshoor
their acceptance of these laws, It is also a
part uv the league that no land he leesed Or
sold to any one uv Afrikian blud, and that
on much uv the wages ez the employer con-
siders proper be retained in hiz hands.
They accept the situashun and acknowl-
edge the binding force uv emansipasbun,
but they must regulate labor themselves.
It is thot that .by livin faithfully to those
regulashuns cheap cotton kin be agin pro
doosed in Texas. Ef this legislature elected
iz on we hope it will be, this code will be
made a law, and thank the Lord emansipa-
shun wont mean nothin in Texas cept a
change uv name.
I would suggest that you to wonst, take-
the last orders uv General Hancock and
make it the subjeck uvamessiage to c'ongris.
Detale in full thevgeneral‘stalk here, and
add to it ez only voo _kin. Tell congriss the
general is agoin to make _ the law’ the reel uv
his conduck, and that he proposes to uphold
the corts and civil authorities, and will only
sooyc his military to those ends agin the
niggers. Sling in here suthin to the alfeck
that Amerikin liberty (wich in this country,
is a pekeolyer variety of the artikle) is still
an inheritance uv the white peeple, and shall
as all,be. Tell em that when a‘soljer hez
onlimited power in his hands, and refooses
to use it for the purpos 'of satisfyin selfish
ambishun, he presents a hefty example uv
virtoo under difficulties. It wood be well
at this pint to compare Hancock with Wash-
ington, makin the difference atwecn um
merely nominal. Say thet there may be
officers in the army, beside Hancock, who
imitates “’ashing, but yoo hevent sot eyes
onto cm ez yit. Assert that Hancock is the
first ofilcer in command, sence the late on-
pleasantness, Wat hez given utteruns to sech
sentiments in his orders and demand that con-
griss shell vote him a gold medil. ,
I sejest that this‘be done to wunst,.for
reasons which. are obvus. We'desire'Han»
cock to continue in well doin, but of that-
well doin in our behalf mite lead to his‘
nominashun for the presidency, it iz well
enuff to kill em off in that direckshen so
soon ez he is committed. Hence write.
Don’t let Seward diloot it or Randall polifox
it. Putin my naked idces, clothed in your
terse and vigrus lauguidge, and you will hev
dun a good thing. ‘
I repceted them to the leedin officers uv
the “Lost C‘os Club,” and the idea wuz rap-
cherously received. One member selected
it wuzn't best, ez reely the thing wuz too
absurd, but he voted ay on the proposisbuu

it wuz receeved ez he ’spozed'it wbod be it'
Wuz eazy unit” to swear that hez eggslency
wuz drunk when he wrote it, wich woodent

Another who iz trooly a friend uv yours
objected on the score that such settin up
weed give Hancock the nominashun, but he
wuz laft to skew. “Wat," said an old gray-
headed member, “hez A. Johnson ever com—
mended that he haint killed.”

The Vacation: of Mustapha.
[Burlington Hawkcye]
Now in the sixth month, in the reign of
the good Caliph, it was so that Mustapha
said, “I am wearied with much work;
thought, care and worry have worn me out ;
I need repose, for the hand of exhaustion is
upon me. and death even now lieth at the
door.” ‘
And he called his physician, who felt of his
pulse and looked upon his tongue and said :
“Twodolldahsl” (For this was the oath by
which all physicians swore.) Of a verity
thou must have rest. Flee unto the valley
of quiet, and close thine eyes in dreamful
rest : hold back thy brain from thought and
thy hand from labor, or you will cc 1: can—
didate for the asylum in three weeks.”
And he heard him, and went out and put
the business in the hands of the clerk, and
went away to rest in the valley of quiet.
And :hc went to his Uncle Ben's whom he
had not seen for let these fourteen years.
Now, his Uncle Ben was afarmer, and abode
in the valley of rest, and the mountains of re-
poscrose round abo ut him, And he was rich
and well flavored, and strong as an bx, and}
healthy as an onion crop; 0ft times he beast-
ed to his neighborsrthat there was n'ota lazy
bone in his bedy, and he swore that'hc'hat‘ed’
a lazy man. ' .
And Mustapha wist not that it was so.
And when he reached his Uncle Ben’s
they received him with great joy, and placed
before him supper of homely viands iwell
cooked, and piled up on his plate like the
wreck of a box-car. And when he could
not eat all they laughed him to scorn.
And after supper they sat up with him and
talked with him about relatives whereof he
had never, in all his life, so much as heard.
‘And he answered their questions at random,
and lied unto them, professing to know
Uncle Ezra and Aunt Bethesda. and once he
said that he had a letter from Uncle George
last week.
Now they all knew that Uncle George was
_shot ina neighbor’s sheep pen, three years
ago, but Mustapha wist not that it was so.
and he was sleepy and only talked to fill up
the time. And then they talked politics to
him, and he hated politics. So about 1 o’clock
in the morning they sent him to bed.
Now the spare room wherein he slept, was
right under the roof, and there were ears
and bundles of cars of seed corn hung from
the rafters, and he banged his, eyes with the
same, and be hooked his chin in festoous of
dried apples, and shook dried herbs and
seeds down his back as he walked along, for
it was dark. And when he sat up in bed in
tlic night he ran a scythe in his car.
And it was sqthat the four boys slept with
him, for the bed was wide. And they were
restless and slumbered crosswise and kicked,
so that Mustapha slept not a win k that night,
neither closed his eyes.
. And about the fourth hour after midnight
his Uncle Ben smote him on the back and
spake unto him, saying: V
“Awake, arise, rustle out of this and wash
your face for the liver and bacon are fried
and breakfast waitetb. You will find the
well down at the other end of the cow—lot.
Take a towel with you."
When they had eaten, his uncle Ben spake
unto him saying: “Come, let us stroll around
the farm.” ' ' ‘
And they walked about eleven miles. And
Uncle Ben sat him upon a wagon and
taught him how to load hay. Then they
drove into the barn, and he taught him how
to unload it. Then they girded up their,
10““ at“? a 5... assassinate;
chop wood, and then Walked back to supper.-
And the morning and the evening were the
dead.
And after supper his Uncle Ben spoke once
more, and ’said: “Come, let us have some
fun.” And so they hooked up a team and
where there was a hop. And they danced
until the second hour in the morning.
wasn’t long, for already the (night was far
spent—his Uncle'Ben took him out and
taught hlmrhow' to make rail fences. And '
that night there was a wedding, and they
danced, and made merry, and drank, and
ate, and when they went to bed at 2 o’clock.
Mustapha prayed that death might come to
him before breakfast time. But breakfast
had an early start, and got there first. And‘
his Uncle Ben took him down to tbecreek
and taught him how to wash and shear sheep.
And when evening was come they went to '
spelling-school, and they got home at the
marveled that it was so early. And helight-
ed his pipe, and sat up for an hour and told
Mustapha all about the forty acres he bought
last spring of old Mossy Stringer to finish out
that north half, and about the new colt that
was fouled last spring.
And wheu‘ Mustapha went to bed that
morning he bethOught himself of a dose’of
strychine he had with him, and he said his
prayers wearily and took'it.
But the ydungest boy was restless that
night, and kicked all the poison out of him
in less than ten seconds.
And in the morning, while it was yet
night, they ate breakfast. And his Uncle
Ben took him out and taught him how to dig
a ditch. - -- . 1
And when evening was. come there was a
revival meetihg at Ebenezer Methodist
church, and they all went. And there were
three regular preachers and two exhorters,
and a Baptist evangelist. And when mid—-
night was, come, they went home and sat up
and talked over the meeting until it was bed-
time. » ’ ' . ,
“Now, when Mustapha was at home, he left. -
and he went .to bed at ~the third hour after:
sunset, andlie arose. not until the sun was
high in the heavens. . _ _ .
So the next day,,when his Uncle Ben
‘would take him out into the field, and show;
him how 'to make a post and a rail fence,
Mustapha would swear at him, and smote
him with an ax-helve, and-fled, and got him-'
self home. ' -
And Mustapha sent for his physician and
cursed him. ’ And he said he was tired to
death, he turned his face to the wall apd
died. So Mustapha was gathered to 'his
fathers.- ‘ ‘ ' ' .
And his physician and his friends mourned
and said: “Alas,he did not rest soon enough.
He tarricd at his desk too long.” .
But his Uncle Ben, who came in to atten
the funeral, and. had t!) do ‘all the weeping
out of one eye, because the other was blacked
half way down to his chinsaidit was a pity, -'
but Mustapha was too awfully lazy to live, -
and he had no get up about him. ' 1
But Mustapha wist notwhat they said, be- ‘
cause he was dead. So they divided his pro-1
party among them, and said if 116 'Wanted a '
tombstone he might have attended to it’him-
self, while he was yet alive, because they had'
no time. . _ I

On the slopes if‘lA‘inethyst Mountain, in
the Yellowstone - name exposed at diff-
erent levels a large number of'silicified trees,
many being rootedf'ju ‘ the position in which
they grew, and nun twenty to thirty feet in
height. Some lyiégjbwn are of immense
size. The seriesfpf, pandstone and conglo~
merates in whic Fthe-trees are imbedded is
more than five th ' ‘ sand feet thick, forming
a vertical mile of pull-forests. The woody
structure is well preserved. ' Where cavities
have been formedby the rotting of the wood
they are filled witbcr‘ystals of amethyst and
quartz. ' _ ' '
With a new “'mdiograpli" for recording
the intensity of the sun’s radiation, Mr. D.
W instanley has observed a curious “ther-
mal twilight.” The instrument shows a rise
in the temperature before sunrise, owing to
solar radiation. . Azmore remarkable circum-
stance, however, is that, a’ fall of tempera-
ture being indicated a little after sunset,
the, index mysteriously; rises just before
midnight and . sinkg again, although the sun

' The heat of the springs ‘of Charities-
Aigues, which reaChes about one hundred
and eighty degrees,.Fahrenheit, is. used by
the inhabitants for lll'pOSCfl of cooking and
heating their dwelings. M. Berthier has
estimated that the heat furnished daily by
springs equals that produced by the combi-
nation of more than four and a half tons of
coal, and it is sufficient to comfortably warm
the houses of the village and even the streets
throughout the winter season.
It is said that adulterated sugar may be
detected by a very'simple test. A little
pure sugar taken lathe mouth and 'when
dissolved is replaced by a little of the sus-
pectedarticle. If the latter contains starch
glucose or chloride of .tin, a distinctly bitter
taste will be present. ,
Statistics of Englishimbrtplity" show that
during the last thirtyfiears more women have
reached the age of seventy-five or eighty
years than men. The latter suffer more
from lung, heart and kidney diseases, which
have of late been on. the. increase in Eng—
land. ._ j _
A few years ago; astronomers witnessed
two remarkable appearances. In 1866 a
tenth magnitude stain the constellation of
the Northern Crown suddenly shone as a sec-
ond magnitude; andigiu 1876 a new star be-
came visible in the. constellation Cygnus,
subsequently fading so as to .be only percep-
tible by means of- 'a telescope. Like all
others, these stars are doubtless great suns,
glowing with intense heat and constantly
convulsed by the most prodigious internal
commotion. Proctor, in the latest work,
considers the effect of a change in our owu
sun such as was witnessed in the case of
each of these two stars. The star in the
Northern Crown shone with more than eight
hundred times its former luster; while the
star in Cygnus became, perhaps. thousands
of times as brilliant as before. Now, if our
sun were to inorgasc even tenfold in
brightness, all the higher forms of animal
life and nearly all forms of vegetfle life on
on the earth Would iiinquestionably be de-
stroyed. ' .

Experiments; with the solar engine are
yet being niade’ by M. Mouchot in Algeria.
With a con‘eaVe mirror twelve feet in diame-
ter he concentrates the heat of the sun upon
a small boiler," within which be obtains a
steam pressure of about one hundred and
twenty pounds in an hour’s time. In the prep-
aration'of chemicals he makes a practical use
'of the heat from the boiler.

Insects, although having no voice, pos—
sess the power of occasioning sounds by cer—
tain movements which to some extent are
characteristics of the various species. The
shrill trumpet sound of the mosquito and
the busy hum of begs and files are pro—
:duced'bylthe“ rapid motion of the wings
‘while'fiying. . The harsh shriek of'the grass-
hopper is caused by the friction of the legs
againstthe‘win'g's. .The chirp of the cricket
'is produced by rubbing the wing-cases against »

Marrying a. Spoiled Child.
These are'thETspoiled children of the world,
whose fate it late get the best of everything
without regard to their deserts. To these
spoiled children the system of things in gen-
eral has no other design than to give them
comfort in particular. And by some subtle
law of attraction the good things of the
world are almost certain naturally to graviatc
toward them. They Sleep well; they dine
well; theyare potted ' by . everybody; they
have no ‘despairs :. they never suffer from
other people‘s mishaps. . - 1 .
A woman-who marries one of these spoil-
ed children may be sure of an opportunity,
‘to practice‘all the feminine: virtues. She is
'certain to have been very much in love with

Mr. F. Meyers, of Wilton, sends us the
following‘verses which were printed during
a great drought'in the year 1805, for general
circulation :—
O Melancholy l Melancholy! z
Melancholy ' ' '
Verses fitted for a Common Metre tune, on
the late great drought throughout five States
of America, yiz. Connecticut, Rhode—Islaud,
New Hampshire, Vermont, and MassachII-
setts, in the Year of our Blessed Lord, 1805.
Good readers all, both great and small,
Give car unto my rhyme;
And lend an ear, and you shall bear,
A verse upon the time.
Behold and see, what mortals be,‘
Which dwell within the land;
0pc not thy mouth, against. the drought,
Which God was pleas’d to send.
The springs are dry, we can't deny,
Small streams and branches too;
The cattle they, both night and day,
For water thirst and 100.
See lofty hills, and lowest dales,
For a large circuit round:
The grass being dry, the dust doth fly,
But few green things are found.
Behold and see! leaves on each tree,
Their natural color fade;
The fields of corn, theaearth hath born,
With drought, the stalks are dead.
Great fires displays. for several days,
Over the parched ground:
Three barns consumed, I do presume,
Which were nigh IIavcrhill town.
The Millers they, do truly say,
Their ponds are caught so low;
They cannot grind, for no mankind,
W hat will the people do !
The garden beans, and fruit it seems,
From day to day doth die;
Each poor man’s cow, no milk allow.
Which makes the children cry.
The rivers great, I shall relate,
The waters left each shore ;
The bottom sand, discover’d then,
Which ne’er was seen before.
' The skies are red, all flowers dead,
_ But may we not complain ;
Ten weeks being dry, but'from the sky,
There came refreshing rain.
But may we all for mercy call,
And render thinks to God; ,
. And love the Lord, with one accord.
For his chastising rod. I
’Tis he that sends, alternate rains,
Down from the clouds above;
0 may we praise his glorious ways.
And him forever love.
Baby Dimple’s House.
MABEL C. DOWD.
Block upon block, blo‘ck upon block:
Wait, baby, wait till the time to kneek -.
Hush, Baby Dimple, still as a mouse !
This is the way to build a house.
What shall it bc—a church so high,
With a steeple up to the very sky?
First we will build a good thick wall——
Still, baby, still! or you’ll spoil it all;
Block upon block, till'all is complete;
That is the way to build. my sweet!
Here is the door and here is the steeple,
Within are the preacher and all the people,
Now, Baby, now, for the final shock!
_ . Wknock ;
. PHD legone, twothree!
And that is the end of the church an
steeple; -
But where are the preacher and all the peo—
ple ?

—— The Nursery.
A Bit of a. Sermon.
Whatso'er you find to do,
Do it, boys, with all your might!
Never be a little true ;
Or a little in the right.
Trifles even
Lead to heaven,
Trifles make the life of man ;
So in all things,
Great or small things,
Be as thorough as you can.
Let no speck their surface dim— -
Spotless truth and byior bright!
I’d not give a fig for-him
Who says any lie is white ?
He who falters,
Twists or alters
Little atoms when we speak,
May deceive me,
But believe me,
To himself he is a sneak !
Help the weak if you are strong,
Love the Old if you are young,
Own a fault if you are wrong.
If you're angry, hold your tongue,
In each duty'
Lies a beauty,
If your eyes do not shut,
Just as surely
And securely _
As the kernel in a nut l
Love with all your heart and soul,
Love with eye and ear and touch ;
That’s the mornl'of the whole,
You can never love too much !
’Tis the glory
Of the story
In our babyhood begun ;
Our hearts without it,
(Never doubt it),
Are the worlds without a sun !
If you think a word will please,
‘ Say it, if it is but true,
Words may give delight with case,
When no net is asked from you.
Words may often
Soothe and soften,
Gild a joy or heal a pain;
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
It is wicked to retain ! .
Whatsoe’er you find to do,
Do it then with all your might;
Let your prayers be strong and true—
Pray er. my lads, will keep you right.
Prayer in all things,
Great and small things,
Like a Christian gentleman;
And fmver,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.

Dr. Tanner's attempt to go without food

glory of God-J": He kept in his house dur—
ing that time and took nothing into his
stomach but water, spiced occasionally with
a pinch of salt. Wlwu he began the devotion
