" lae IS Honey We have heard no com
plant from the carriers of the IHtelLigeneer, but
the following article from an exchange, is per-
tinent to a subject in which all newspaper men
are interested:
In some of the transactions of business, the
time consumed in waiting upon persons CON
venience, to pay for service rendered, is worth
more than the whole profit Of the transactions.
For instance, the carrier of cash newspaper,
served for weekly SUN, enters store, Office or
dwelling for his weekly due. The occupant is
engaged in his own bushes just then, and pro-
badly Understanding the value of the carriers
time, from the small amount due him, keeps
him standing waiting till the matter in hand is
finished The carriers profit on n newspaper
served for cent copy is about one-third its
actual cost to him, consequently two cents is all
he earns for himself while serving subscriber
for week with the newspaper. TO serve each
newspaper will probably average half minute
or three minutes for'six papers. five min
ntes Of his time be consumed weekly in waiting
upon subscribers convenience to pay him for
serving them, tina carrier loses considerable
more than his profit. It costs him more to wait
for his pay than the amount Of money he re-
this practice, then, it may become more the in
terest of the carrier not TO serve subscribers
who make him wait, than it is his interest to
serve them. Any considerate individual who
wishes to enjoy the advantages newspaper af-
tords, can see that the working Of the practice
We have referred to, is against his own as well
rs the carriers interests, and consequently will
be induced to have the change always ready to
pay the carrier or any other person who calls
Tor his due, without keeping him waiting mo-
ment longer than is absolutely required

COUNTRY BOYS.

Country lads often feel that their lot is hard
one; they see citybred youngsters, on their truv-
els and their sprees, at the age of fourteen!
veritable young gentlemen with a finished ex-
terror, cigar and q cane.
The young farmer, at the same age finds
himself with hoe in his hand, and a cheap
straw hat on his head, sweating among the hills
of corn. He is frequently envious of his city
brother whisking past him in the cars, with
kid gloves, delicate ringlets and plenty of mon
ey in his pocket.
Mind your corn, boy--hoe It out clean, keep
steadily to the labor you have in hand, do It
well and in time your good DAYS will come too
If you find farming is not suited to your taste,
or your strength, or to your circumstances; if
you like mechanism better or have capacity
for business, whatever eventually you may en-
gage in, it is all the same, you have begn,
right. The city blades have begun tcrong; and
in due time you will see it. Their fathers and
mothers will SEE it. Do not feel envious of the
pleasures that hot house man enjoys; but re-
member, not in malicious, but sober spirit,
that such plants wither early. By the time YOU
have acquired fixed habits Of industry, and ac-
quired corresponding perfection of mind and
body, your decately reared cotemporary of the
town begins to feel the facilitating effects of
ideness and of disposition. He is not alone to
piauic ioT weak Oouy ana prOntleSS mlnu; IL
is the result of system; but he cannot escape
from its effects-these he must endure for him
self, in his own person. His father may be
professional man, or merchant, or may be mere
ly rich; the chances are fifty against one that
the son will not replace his father. Such is the
result of well settled experience; business falls
into the hands of those who are most competent,
it does not descend to heirs. 1t is the country
boy, after all who does the city business. OBJ
serving men have often stated this fact; and
any one who will take a directory and enquire
into the origin of the business men of Cleve-
land, or Boston, or New York, will find it to be
so. All external circumstances are in favor of
the son or the clerk succeeding to the trade of
the old firm; but the son seldom, almost never,
dies in the position of partner of the house.
Why is it? Simply because Industry is want
ing, and habitual indulgence is not wanting.
With all the external odds against it the coun-
try furnishes the cities their principal business
men. If intelligent, faithful, and preserving,
and above all, cheerful and contented the chan
ces are that the lad with the hoe will eventually
do the business of the father of the lad in
gloves, who is now luxurating in his travels

R 0 W D YISM

We clip the following sensible observations
from the Claremont, IN. H.,) Eagle. They
were evidently written for "home consumption"
but they are equally applicable to this locality.
If young men only half oomprehended the
utter loathing and disgust which the character
habits, and the very person of the rowdy ex-
cites in the mind Of every decent man and wo-
man, they would be awed into the observance
of the forms of decency if not shamed into
complete reform. There are two or three class
es of rowdies. Some youngsters seem to have
natural, devil-instigated proclivity, from their
very first introduction to boots and tail coat,
to vulgar and profane language, depraved tastes
and staggering, reckless department. Anoth-
er class, yielding and impressible, at the very
period Of all others in their lives when they
should be guarded from corrupt associations,
are led away by the former, easily adopt what
ever is vicious and hateful and become their fel-
lows in every imaginable wickedness. A third
class, older and more discreet in public, afford
the younger scapegraoes the miserable encour-
agement of laughing at their lewdness and

A FRAGMENT.

Look all about you What a ring Of love-
illness surrounds the town. What heaven of
loneliness is arched over us. See how earth
air, and water are turning into bread out of the
ground What daily Use and Beauty grow !
Think of the thousand million men on earth ;
the million millions of beast, bird fish, insect I.
They all hang on the breasts of Heaven, and
are fed by the Motherly Bounty of Infinite Per-
fection. This is a clover blossom at one end of
the stalk, at the other end is God. Yes, all
rests in Him, flowers out of Him. lives by Him,
leads us to Him. All this material Beauty of
Nature is but one rose on the bosom of Deity,
overlooked by the Infinite LONELINESS which is
alike its cause and Providence. Yea, the Uni
verse of matter is revelation of Him,-of
His power in its strength, of his wisdom in its
plan and law, of his love and his loveliness in
that perfume of the world which we call Beau
ty Earth beneath and Heaven above are great
er and lesser prophets, gospel and epistle, and
all unite in one grand Psalm. GLORY TO Con
IN THE HIGHEST, on EARTH PEACE AND GOOD
WILL TO MAN."

A RICH RETORT.

The New York Tribune thus replies to the
Government Organ" which has whining cri-
ticism on the report that Gov. Banks is to ride
the 'Green Mountain Morgan at the muster
of Massachusetts Militia at Concord
The Constitution takes up as a political ques-
ton the story, which we presume is true, that
Gov. Banks is to ride popular Vermont stall
lion in the parades at the approaching encamp-
ment of the militia of Massachusetts, which
takes place on the battle ground at Concord on
the 18th, Sth, and 9th of September. To the
organ of that venerable celibate, the present
chief officer in the Executive Department, the
idea of a statesman who possesses all his pow
ers in state Of such vigor and discipline that
he is able TO mount and control stallion is
something startling. When the old fogy school
Of public men get on horseback, which they
never do except under compulsion and in dread
Of their lives, shambling old mare or found
cred and spawned gelding is the steed of their
preference. The very voice of stallion, clear,
ringing, electrical, as "he saith among the trum-
pets, Ha, ha and he smelleth the battle afar
off, the thunder Of the captains, and the shout

Of donkey. are sounds infinitely more COM
posing to their spiritless nerves. These super
annuated politicians would have the world sup
pose that nobody but professional jockey or
circus rider ought ever to approach fnehorse; /;
and no wonder they look on in astonishment
and alarm, when a man who has indisputably
earned his honors in political and parliamentary
contests, and VINO has displayed equal ability in
conducting the deliberations of Senates, or ad-
ministering the business of the State, with mas
tery grace vaults upon the back of fiery and
paving stallion. sits on him like centaur, and
with hand delicate as the touch of love, and
resisuess as the grasp of Steel holds all that
exulting and splendid vitality in willing obedi-
ence and proud gcntleness. Before men of this
vigorous description, whose faculties are all in
healthy play, and who lay hold of life in so
many of its countless and varying aspects, it is
plain that the fossil and dyspeptic statesmen of
red tape and sluggish blood, must presently
disappear. They have a right to be shocked
and terrihed; when living person enters the
arena it is time for shame and shadows to shiv-
er and retire.

drunkenness, and with diabolcal brotherhood
in evil, shield them from exposure. We hesi-
tate and are ashamed to nvow it but truth de-
mands it We have them all here, and it is
more observable from contrast with the marked
decorum and sobriety of our general population,
young and old. This feature of rowdyism we
do not alude to as an anomaly by any means.
Nearly all communities are similarly infested
and afflicted. All ages have produced the
classes referred to, but their nauscous peculiar
ities rise to view more frightfu and conspicuous
in the near and loving neighborhood of the
schools and churches, the quiet homes and
peaceful pursuits of interior New England vii
lagos.
Can nothing be done to arrest the growing
evil in Clarcmont? 1t is comparatively a new
and by no means desirable phase of life here
Shall it not be nippcd in the bud and rooted
out? Some guardians and parents will refer it
all to the presence of beer shops and the illegal
sale of liquors. No doubt those are not calcu-
lated to aid in producing a reform, but we are
apt to believe that parents who attribute the
evils under discussion wholly or mainly to this
cause wish simply to shift their own gross neg
lcct of duty, their own Encouragement and
weakness, their alternate indecision, violence
and Incidence, in respect to the moral training
of their children, on to the shoulders of any

burden. A man is morally responsible before
God and to the community for the manner in
which his children are trained and usherod into
active life as responsible members of society
He has no more right to turn his son out
amongst men finished blackguard, than he
has to keep an acknowledged nuisance which
the law would abate. He is responsible to a
degree, which many could not acknowledge
without convcting themselves of grevious error
The rule is as true as it is old Train up
child in the way he should Co. and when he is
old he will not depart from it." The sad truth
is, scores of our youth receive no careful, syste
matte, moral training. They come up anyhow,
and know as little about any rational restraint
as "Topsey" knew who made her. Parents
must learn that the temporary government of
the school room is not enough, and cannot SUI
percede the necessity of their own constant
watchfulness We need a great deal more If

age; a judcious mixture of the law of kind

can refer his ruin to the spared rod, and bitter

ter reflects disgrace and entails misery upon his
declining years. Fathers and Mothers LOOK

A PUNGENT LETTER

Several weeks since dinner was given at
the Revere House in Boston, a fashionable
rum selling hotel, to Mr. Morphy, great chess
player. At that dinner, which was not a strict
ly temperance one, but on the contrary, where
a plent, of intoxicating drinks were on the ta-
BILE, Lemuel Shaw, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State, and James Walker, Presi-
dent of Harvard College and several other dis
tinguished men were present. The following
pungent letter, addressed to Mr.. Shaw and Mr..
Walker in relation to their presence at the
dinner in question, has lately appeared in the
papers. 1t tells great deal of truth

sets, and James Walker, President of Har-

You, Mr.. Chief Justice, represent the law Of
the commonwealth; to you, Mr.. President, is
committed the moral guardianship of the young
men of her university. Yet find you both at
a table of revelers under a roof whose chief
support and profit come from the illegal sale OF
intoxicating drink, and which boasts itself the
champion and head of an organized, fragrant
and avowed contempt of the laws of the COM

THE "GREAT EASTERN"

This nautical prodigy, according to the last
accounts from England, is nearly completed and
will sail for Portland, Me-, soon after the first
of September. making her trial trip certainly
this fall. The completion of this magnificent
vessel was formally celebrated on board, on the
Sth ult., and the ovation was honored by the
presence of many of the members of both
Houses and some of the most distinguished en-
gineers and scientific men in the kingdom. As
the Great Eastern is now so soon, probably. to
exhibit herself on this side of the Atlantic,
more than usual interest attaches to the details
of that enlarged enterprise which has at last
triumphed over all obstacles in her construction.
Her length is 700 feet. breadth 63 feet, depth
of hold 81 feet, and tonnage, exclusive of ma
chinery, coal, etc., 1884 tons, or capacity
equal to the transportation Of 10000 persons
with the necessary freight for long voyage
For locomotion the Great Eastern has paddle,
screw and auxiliary engines, besides six masts
and rigging. The paddle and screw engines
are so distinct that any one or any number may
be disconnected at pleasure without affecting
the others. The paddle engines weigh 2l0 tons,
and are capable of being worked up to 5000
horse power. The screw engines weigh 1862
tons and may be made equal to 6500 horse
power. Both sets have thus capacity for
nearly 10000 horse power, to supply which both

coal day. At the celebration ON the 9Th,
these engines were put into operation for the
first time, the paddle wheels working forward,
while the screw worked the ship astern to coun-
teract the motion and prevent too great a strain
upon the cables The machinery worked with
marvellous ease and freedom, and the result:
was considered by all the engineers on board to
be satisfactory in the very highest degree. On
deck there are four small steam engines, each
of which works pair of cranes on both sides
of the vessel, and by these cranes 5000 tons of
coal can be hoisted into the ship in a day, thus
obviating grave objection on the part of those
who speculated on the loss of time in coaling.
The deck has been planed and scrubbed to
man -of-war whiteness, and not even a stray
ropes end breaks the wonderful effect produced
by its immense expanse. Her fleet of small
boats tthat is to say, about the size of sailing
cutters, hang at the davits, ten on each side.
The whole vessel has been painted, the saloons
are finished, the cabins decorated, and even fur
nished. The chief saloons-all save one-have
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1859-09-03

only been fitted to a certain extent in tempo
rary manner. The fittings are exceedingly
handsome and substantial, but the decorations
of the huge iron walls and girders have been
reserved until after her first trip, and now are
only painted Of a plain white. The absence of
elaborate decoration in them, however, is amply
compensated in the chief saloon, which has
been finished TO show the superb style in which
the whole will be decorated when the Great
Eastern begins running to the East Whether
the fine traces of gold and color are examined
in detail, or whether one chooses to Judge by
the tone and effect of the whole apartment, the
decision is equally favorable and this saloon is
not only the finest and richest of ai,y that has
been attempted but is likely to remain for many
years tn standard by which all other cabins Of
the kind will be judged. 1t is said that the
mirrors, gliding, carpeting and silk curtains for
this apartment alone cost $4,000. The kich-
ems, pantries, and sculleries are all on the same
extensive SCALE and fitted with all the large cu-
mary requisites of first class hotels. The ice
house holds upwards of 100 tons Of ice, and
the lofty vii vaults-for such, in fact, they
arc-already contain wine enough to form
good freight for an Oporto trader.
