took place. The management Of lunatic
asylums, the factory system, the employment
OF children in manufactures, the condition of
persons employed in mines, and that of the
agricultural labOrers, have all been inquired
into, and great abuses corrected. There is
also much room for congratuIa;ion in the
improved arrangement of our prisons and our
warehouses;; and it can truly be said that
neither crime nor pauperism have increased
during the last fifty years, in proportion to
the increase of population. The expenditure

Our criminal law is no longer an imitation
of that of Draco. Executions do not now
take place by tens or dozens at a.time, and
a theft of five shillings is not punished so
severely as murder. The value of life, ac-

registers, the annual mortality was, in 1900,

BARNUM SOLD.

The New Orleans DELTA tells good
story of Mr.. Barnum, i'll an affair which
happened the day before he left New Or
leans:
.'lt appears that the great curiosity
hunter had been struck with the an
nouncement of the posters at the corner
of the streets, that there was on exhibit
tion in a certain street, a strange animal
of the horse kind, with face like d
child. and large revolving eye in the
center of his forehead, after the most ap-
proved Cyclops fashion. Barnum no
sooner read this than he decided within
his own mind that here was a case that
called for his Immediate attention, and
that if the said wonderful animal could
be bad for money, he would have it,
The Delta says:
the entrance fee 10 the exhibition
room being 25 cents, Barnum threw
down half dollar piece, and passed in
without waiting for the change. He
was too eager 10 see the wonder, TO think
of cents. Judge Of his surprise. when
Cyclops turned out to be the stuffed hide
OF an exceedingly Juvenile colt, the skin
of whose head was distorted into a horri-
Bile semblance human face, and the fore
head dis6gured with large and glarins
eye of glass, most villianously green.
Barnum forgot himself so far, in being
thus sold, that he rushed oat Of the exhi
bition room with a great oath-and de-
manded his money back. He received
his 25 cents change. and acknowledge
that he had been taken in, after the fash
ion he had taken others in-polite'y re

should not get into the papers.

SATAN.

This old gentleman, although consid-

been served some very cute tricks. A
mong the rest, we have heard of a poor
cobbler who had made league with him,
and after enjoying every earthly blessing,
he was waited upon at the end of the
term by his birthstone majesty, who de
manded his soul.
The cobbler took sharp knife and
ripped off the sole of his shoe, threw it
at the feet of his ilustrious guest.
What does that mean? cried the lat
ter.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

a man who is not asha med of himself,
need not ashamed Of his early condition.
All dissipation has its origin in a want
of proper employment.
Always do as the sun does-look at
the bright side of everything. For while
it is just as cheap. it is three times as
good for digestion.
To the honor Of the sex, and in ac-
Acknowledgement OF the wise mercy Of God,
it must be admitted that women are
mare conscientious in their parental du-
ties than men.
Men are to be estimated. as Johnson
says, by the mass of character. A block
of tin may have a grain of silver; but
still it is tin; and block of silver may
have an alloy of tin, but still is silver.
No cause is ever made better, but al
ways worse. by falsehood. Even where
detection does not follow, suspicion is
almost always created.
Wear your learning like your watch.
in your private pocket; aud do not pull
it out, merely to show it.
The world is seldom unthanh full, if we
know how. in the proper way. to do il
service.
Temptations are a file which rubs of
much of the rust Of self-confidence.
Idleness is hard work for those who
are not used to it, and dull work foI
those that are.
Yankee ladies who come out west as
school mistresses, are not much use. In
stead Of teaching other peoples chill
dren, they soon get married, and teach
their own children.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A
boy that is WHIPPED to school never
learns we'll.
Two things are necessary TO the travel
er in life as well as on the roads; a
knowledge of his way, and persevere-
ance in it.
The cup that is full will hold no
more; keep your heads and hearts full OF
good thoughts, tha. bad thoughts may not
find room.

Full eighteen months have passed away,
Since we have seen thy face
Oh. whittier art thou gone! dost lay
Beneath earth's cold embrace?
You bid yonr native land adieu,
Rich treasures to obtain
Terhaps thou art sleeping meath the strand
OF broad Pacifcs main.
The nightingale may warble where
The mountains rear their heads,
The beast of prey may leave his lair,
The sons Of men their beds;
But where art thou, my fathers son,
Who left thy native home,
Ere life in thee had scarce begun
Oh! wilt thou ever roam?
Through desert sands, DER mountains high,
Through vallies deep and wide,
With many a lingering look--and sigh
You made rapid stride.
You bade adicu to friends most dear,
And relatives most kind;
And sought in gold to gather gear
To satisfy the mind.
How many thus desert their friends,
TO gain the lucid gold,
Yet lie er attain desired ends
Misfortune makes them bold.
