EMBARRASSING MISTAKE.

Gov. D., ONO matter what state
was plain, farmer-lke man in fact,
aside from his political Office, his pro
fession was that of farmer. He had an
orchard behind his house, to which he
paid great deal of attention.
In personal appearance the Governor
was not very preposscssing. He was
tall aud gaunt, and when about his work
was generally in the habit of wearing a
faded dressing gown, which was of ex-
cceding length, coming nearly to bis
feet.
It Glanced one day that gentleman,
fashionably dressed, called at the Gov
errors residence and inquired for him
He was in quest Of certain Office, which
lay in the Governors gift.
"He is not at home just at present."
said Mrs. d. ''but if you will come ia
and take seat, no doubt be will be IN

The visitor accepted the invitations,
and seating himself in a plain sitting
room, entered into conversation with tie
Governors lady.

WINTER EVENINGS.

Under this head the Cleveland Herald
make some excellent suggestions which
suits this latitude as well as Ohio.
:" The long winter evenings are cozains
and the young men Of our city should
think how they can best improve their
lime.
THE apprentice and the mechanic, the
clerk and laborer, have many evenings all
10 themselves How will they pass them9
In reading, in study, in cultivating the
mental and the social faculties, in acquiring
knowledge Of history and of the world, OF
in rounds Of dissipation and idleness?
"The young men of our city of to-day
are 10 give character and directions to our
city hereafter. They are then to comre
its destiny, ard it is important that they
should early luy strong and deep IT,.
foundations of mental and of moral worth.
The intelligent man, who has intcgri-
ty Of life, has an ever present introduce
ton 10 the better part of society. Ii mat
tcrs not what his vocation, If il be useful,
necessary labor, he is respected. Elihu
Burritt at the anvil, had the respect ard
esteem of all his neighbors. because Of
his virtue and intelligence. If man iX
not respected it is because he does not de-
serve and is not entitled to respect.
at is not wealth which commends q
man to the community. A good name, in
telligence, integrity, industry, are capital
for any young man. All cali invest in
this kind Of stock, and it eyer yields large
dividends.
"There is no way in which our young
mechanics can better pass their time DUR
ing the winter evenings than in attending
lectures, and reading history, biography,
travels, &c. There is no reason why the
man who swings the hammer, shOves the
plane, draws the thread, or works in iron,
should not be as well educated as the pro-
fessional man in all the departments Of
learning, outside OF his profession.
''Let young men see tS it that their.
minds are cultivated with the greatest care.
There are a thousand fields of.usefulrla,
lor in which the intelligent ever have ths
preference"

HE CAME TOO LATE.

lie came too late The toast had dried
Before the fire too long;
The cakes were Scorched upon the side,
And everything was wrong
She scornei to wait all night for one
Who fingered on his way,
And so she took her tea alone
And cleared the things away. l
He came too late At once he felt
The supper hour was o'er,
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt--
She closed the pantry door
-he table cloth had passed away
No dishes could he see,
She met him, and her words were gay
She never spoke Of tea
He came too late The subStle chords
OF patience were unbound
Not By offence OF spoken words,
But by the slighls that wound
She knew he could say nothing now
That could the past repay;
She bade him 30 aud milk the COW,
And eoldly turned away
lie eaIie too late! Tha fragrant steam
or tea had long since flown,
The fies had fallen ia the cream,
The bread was cold as stone.
And when, with word and smile, he tried
His hungry state toproye,
She neryed her heart with woman's pride.
And never deigned to move.

PUsn.--Push along. LIS the way your
sound and hearty mortals do. And you
can't do without it. The world is SO
made, society so constructed. that it is a
law of necessity that you must push
That is, if you would be thought some
thing and somebody.
Push along. Push a strong push and
perpetual push. All see the power in it..
See how il gains, accumulates, whether of
wisdom or wealth. We never knew a
man who was right smart pusher who
finally did not become rich, respectable,
wise, and useful. The fact is, You are
morally sure 10 become 50 if you pHsh--
push like real live, determined up and
down man.
If things look dark, push the harder;
sunshine and blue sky are just beyond;
If you are entangled, push-if your heart
grows feeble, push. You'll come out VIC
torious. Never fear.

PosT-OTTIcE ARRANGEMENTS - The

ing information from Washington:
The revenue of the Post Office Depart
ment, under the cheap postage system, the
public will be pleased 10 learn, is steadily
increasing, and this dispite of the vast
amount of telegraphie correspondence car
ried on between the principal cities Of the
Union. As the art Of printing has mul-
liplIed writer's, SO does the correspondence
by lightning increase the number of let
iers carried by the mail.
A Herculean, and at the Same time, most
useful labor is now being performed I'M
der the direction Of the Postmaster Cen
eral. Distribution offices have not been
systcmatized, | believe, since the estab-
lishment of railroads has introduced new
and shorter routes Than those previously
in use. A new scheme Of distribution
has thus become necessary TO avoid delay
