The Census-Taker Answered.

to be busy all the year, and don't want to be both

the following answers to the questions which the
Census Bureau has instructed the official to ask

the affirmative;

An Encouraging Incident.

] An interesting incident occurred at a Bell and
Everett meeting in Boston few evenings since.
A gentleman from the Third Ward, ON his part of
the city being mentioned, and said that altho
be had no right to take any part whatever in the
proceedings there, being an inhabiant of another
ward, yet he had come to the present meeting,
urged by the interest he felt in the cause and said
he would tell them an auecdote that would perhaps
inspirit them to exertions by showing what might
be done by small beginnings "Sorne forty years
ago." he said, "when was young man residing
in Brighton, received circular calling for meet
ings 10 be held to choose delegates TO Lexington to
nominate candidate for Congress. published the
notice and the meeting was held. Two persons
were present-a friend and myself. We organized
and he voted for me aud voted for him, and we
both attended the Lexington Convention as dele
gates. At the old Munroe Tavern we met six other
delegates, and in bed-room Of that tavern we non
mated our candidate, whom afterwards our party
sent 10 the House. The mau OF our choice was then

was the commencement Of his long and honorable
public career His name was EDWARD EVERETT
and am here Mr. Chairman the sole survivor of
the Lexington meeting, rejoicing in an opportunity
to say u word OF encouragement in our good cause,
and to add my little endeavorS to push forward the
work of electing the men Of our seection--BELL
and EyERETT.
Now if eachand all our friends, North and South
would only display tenth part Of the faith and zeal
aud confidence Of our Boston friend, BELL and EVE
RETT would triumphanty carry the electoral vote of
almost every State in the Union. In word let
every man do his duty, and his whole duty, in the
present contest and there be doubt of the re-
suit in November. The signs are all encouraging,
and let us push on the glorious work.-Rich. Whig

PuYsIciANs AT BEDsIDEs or THE DYING.-The

A WORD TO WnTERs.-Never ask an editor who
has rejected your manuscript his for so do
ing If he chooses toinform you, take the criticisms
without debate. An editor is often obliged 10 de-
clue articles which personally he would be glad to
publish because he thinks them not such as his
readers may desire, or for other reasons equally
valid. Remember, an author usually sees merits
in his article not perceptible to Others while there
may be defects in it of which he is not aware. Il
should be considered that an editors time has been
consumed in the examination, and that to ask more
would be to demand that which should be devoted
to his readers lie has undoubtedly reasons for the
rejection which to him are satisfactory Accept the
fact in kindly spirit, recolecting that what these
reasons are is ofno very vital importance to you.

A Good Point by Mr.. Toombs.

In Senator Toombs recent speech in favor Of the
equality and probation of Southern citizens in the
Territories, he made a good point to-wit;
That both of the leading party Conventions had,
with view TO secure the foreign vote, declared, in
their respective platforms, that epery citizen Of Uni
ted State heher nauriized on nave should be equal
~ entitled 10 protection abroad and at home. But
this same doctrine Of eguat rights, both Conventions
had refused 10 e1tend 10 The Southern States IN re-
gard 10 property IN The Territories.
Mark the point Every body is entitled to equal
protection at home aud abroad except the Southern
citizen, and he must be put under the ban of his
own Government, even on his own soil. This 10

Commencement Exercise OF
Bethet Female College.

The examination Rt this institution closed on
Thursday week, in the presence Of large number
Of its patrons and visitors from abroad. We heard
but one opinion expressed as to the character of the
examination and the manner in which the pupils
sustained themselves during the severe and tedious
ordeal, and that was in the highest degree compli-
mentary to the students and the faculty. Parents
aud visitors all declared their deep qualification at
the proficiency and ripeness in study exhibited in
close and rigid nquisition the impression made
by which cannot fail to increase the reputation of
the school, both at heme and abroad.
A very beautiful and entertaining musical perfor-
nance, entitled the Coronation was giving by
some twenty Of the young ladies of the College,
at the Baptist church, on Wednesday night Many
passages of exquisite melody occurred in the piece
and the whole was received with every manifesto
ton of delight by the audience. The only drawback
experienced was in consequence of the dense crowd
many of whom entirely unable to procure seats
We regret exceedingly that there is not suitable
hall in our city for the proper accommodation OF
such crowds as are always brought out on such oe-
casions. Previous the performance of the Cantata
diplomas were given by the President, j. W. Rust
to eight young ladies of the graduating class ve OF
whom read graduating essays. The Salutatory was
read by Miss Lou Ware of Trenton KY, and the
valedictory by Miss Annie Sims, of Clinton, Ky.
The essays will be published in the Magnolia, the
monthly organ of the young ladies literary society
at the College,
On Thursday Prof. Robinson, Of Russelvlle,-
read the Adnnual Poem before large audience.
Perhaps the highest praise give the poet is,
that he listened to with profound atenteuion ab

who would have good grounds to bring suit against
Prof Robinson for defamation of character, if they

written contained many exquisite passages which we
are sure the public would be pleased to read In
the evening very large and pleasant eunion took
place at the College, which seemed to be attended
and enjoyed by everybody.

THE PREss.-That truly eloquent clergyman, Rev,
Dr. Fuller of Baltimore in recent address at one
of the religious anniversaries in New York, paid tho
following tribute to ''the press.'

CHARITY,

When you meet with one suspected
Of some secret deed OF shame,
And for this by all rejected,
AS thing of evil aim;
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no woro Of heartless blame,
For the wanderers vile detraction
Yet may soil the goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing
With his recklessness and sin
Think, if place | in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain?
Or look of cold suspicion
Win him back to truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their blossoms glad.
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by Judging Others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

DouGLAs,-The followinh paragraph is from a
leading article of "The World" the very able paper
just established in the city of New York;
The friends of Mr. Douglas must he very sangu-
inc if they expect to see him President OF the U.
States. His nomination will prove empty honor
which will scarcely mitigate the bitterness ola final
retreat from public life at the close of his term in
the Senate.
When history shall render her final verdict on
the merits of Mr.. Douglas as statesman, she will
no doubt lay on him the responsibility of wantony
re-openng a question which had been closed by a
solemn adjustment to which both the great sec
tons Of the country had assentcd and in which they
continued to acquiesce. Whether he laid sacrileg-
ious hands on that compromise by the promptings
of an unchastened ambition, with the purpose of
conciIiating the favor of the South orreay thought
he was serving his country ii cannot now be
doubted that both regards his political prospects
and the public veal, the Kansas-N ebraska bill was
the greatest blunder of his life. The South, in
whose behalf and to gain whose support, he dared
indignation and odium such as no American states
man had ever before encountered, has since turned
against him, and now hedges up the path of his
ambition with an impossible barrier. The great
mass of the people in his own section Of the country
Notwithstanding his manly resistance to the Le-
compton constitution, affirm the justice of the fate
which is pressing upon him.

WASTE OF THE PEOPLES MoNEY.--Some idea
may be formed of the prohigacy of the admins
tratons of Franklin Pierce aud James Buchanan,
the people 81 100 600, Of which the lavorites who
got il put 100000 into their own pockets--that
these two Administrations have expended more
than was expended during tho first thirty years of
the Federal Government, including the war Of 1912
and that as n sample Of the mode in which the
Treasury has been robbed, it has been proved that
six orders given to the Public Printer for Post
Office blanks of the same form, at different times,
in one day, for which six compositions were charged
so that what should have cost sl3, was made u
cost SOL
