@ If none were to reprove the vicious
excepting those who sincerely hate vice

How MUCH WAS A PENNY Day
Much better wages than it sounds to us.
An Agricultural paper says, that in the
time of Christ, penny was equal to a.
bout fifteen of our cents, and money was
about ten times as valuable AS now the
penny day was as good as $50 of our
cents so that the man who worked in
the vinyard for that got as good wages as
good men now generally have in harves'
time. The gift of the good Samaritan
of two pence, to the landlord, for the care
Of the man who fell among thieves, in ad
dtion t6 the raiment, oil and wine, a:
WIS equivalent to about three dol
lars of our currency, which would prob
ob'y pay for his board two weeks in
country tavern, where board was yer,
cheap.

RUSSIAN WIFE SHow.-The wife show
is now the last lingering relic Of what
what was once a popular national GUS
tom. Here the sons and daughters OF
tradesmen were wont to assemble and Sc
lect their partners for life. The girls
would come decked out in all the orna-
ments the family could raise, and some,
times carrying in their hands bunch OF
teaspoons, or playing gracefully with a
huge silver ladle, as if it were fan
while the young men. also appearing to
the best advantage, would stroll by them
and on seeing any young lady who par
licularly struck their fancy, would po-
litelv inquire of the parents, who invari-
ably accompanied the blushing damsel
The custom so far exists to the present
day that had l been matrimopially dispo-
sed, might have selected wife, with
out even the trouble of advertising, te
say nothing of saving the time which the
more conventional mode Of my own ma
tive land deem requisite to a courtship

Sing. bird, on green Missouri's plain,
The saddest song of sorrow;
Drop tears. Oh, clouds, in gentlest rain
Ye from the winds can borrow
Breathe ont. ye winds, your softest sigh,
Weep, flowers, in dewy spiendor.
For him who knew well how to die,
But never to surrender.
Uprose serene the August sun
Upon that day of glory;
Upcurled from musket and from gun
The war-cloud, gray and hoary.
1t gathered like funeral pail
Now broken and now blenden,
Where rang the bugle's angry call.
And rankwith ank contended.
Four thousand men as brave and true
As e'er went forth in daring,
Upon the foe that morning threw
The strength of their despairing.
They feared not death-men bless the field
That patriot soldiers die on
Fair Freedom's cause was sword and shield
And at their head was LYON
Their leaders troubled soul looked forth
From eyes of troubled brightness;
Sad soul, the burden of the N orth
Had pressed out all its lghtness.
He gazed upon the unequal fight,
His ranks all rent and cory,
And felt the shadows close like night
Round his career of glory.
General. come lead US !" loud the cry
From brave band was ringing
Lead us. and we'll stop or die,
That battery's awful singing"
He spurred to where bis heroes stood,
Twice wounded-no wound knowing
The fire of battle in his blood
And on his forehead glowing.
Oh, cursed for aye that traitors hand,
ana cursed that aim so deadly,
Which smcte the hraEest of the land,
And dyed his bosom redly!
Serene he lay, while past him pressed.
The battles furious billow.
A $ calmly as babe may rest
Upon its mothers pillow.
So LYON died and well may flowers
His place of burial cover,
For never had this land OF ours
A more devoted lover!
Living, his country was his pride,
His life he gave her dying,
Life, fortune; love- he nought denied
TO her and to her signing.
Rest, patriot, in thy hill side grave.
Beside her form who bore thee
Long may the land thou died'st to save,
Her hammered stars wave o'er thee
Upon her bistory's brightest page,
And on fame's glowing portal.
She'll write thy grand, heroic rage,
And grave thy name immortal H. P.

@ The Dayton Empire tells the foi'
lowing which is decidedly rich:
There is one Democrat in this county
who certainly has no cause for regret 10
the election of Tod. In 1874 when Tod
was first nominated by the Democracy,
our friend then Democrat and still a
Democrat, sold silver lever watch to a
then Whig, and now prominent fusion
Republican Of this city payable when
David Tod should be elected Governor
of Ohio. Tod slipped up in 1914, and
again in 1916, aud our friends chance OF
getting his pay was not very bright, tho
he quietly slowed the note away. Since
then; politics have changed somewhat,
and with them our friends prospect oi
getting his money. Tod has been cleo
ted Governor, and the note will be pre-
sented at the proper time of payment.

HOW TO GET RICH.

An honest old German. who, by pick>
ing up bones about the streets, had saved
up money enough to purchase cheap
10! in the suburbs Of Brooklyn, left the
street as a picker and commenced as a
trader--buying the bones from the chiff-
oners and selling them to the bone black
makers. He drew his hand cart 6lled
with bones, regularly twice day, with
his purchases. AT night be would cross
the ferry with his empty cart to his home
not exactly empty, however, for it always
contained at least one brick, which he
was never at loss to find in the streets
OF New York. His daily brick was de.
posted on his lot, and in the course of
time old Jacob waxed rich enough to
think Of building house on his lot. His
bricks had. by this time, become con.
siderable pile, so considers indeed, that
he actually built snug small two story
house, without being obliged to call on
the brick yard for single one. Old ia
cob certainly got cheap house. which
he now resides in, without mortgage or
lien upon it.
After he built his house, as be still
brought his cart over nightly, and was
not in want of bricks, he brought over one
or more cobble stones at every trip. So
that by the time the street was ordered
to be paved, he saved the expense Of paw
ing stones. furnishing his stock on hand.
Now this old man thought it DO sin to
pick up an isolated brick or stone - for
sdch were only proper in his eyes to take
they belonged to no one, and be took
up stray brick as be would pick up a
bone out of the street. TO have taken a
brick from pile. or a stone from heap
would have been in Jacobs eyes, steal
ing. and the old man would rather have
gone home empty than do either. No
Jacobs house is al honest house as any
in Brooklyn.--[ Journal of Commerce.

Mr.. Butte, in the outskirts, was on
Sunday night previous surrounded
by a gang of negroes, one of whom
entered through window, and made
"a bold attempt to violate the person
Of Mrs. Brute, who was sleeping by
the side Of her husband. She was
not slow in awaking her husband,
who grappled the negro and had a
violent struggle, but did not secure
him. In the morning the ci1cum-
stances became generally known,
and all day the indignation of the
people increased. Some dozen ne
gloes were lodged in Jail, and when
night came four or five hundred men,
frenzied with passion, repaired to the
house of colored barber named Ran
dolph. While about his house a
shot was fired into the crowd, severe
ly woundig Mr.. Bauers, which
brought the affair to climax. The
house was Quilted and fired, and, with
all its contents, soon reduced to ash
es, which ended the nights amuse-

| Missouri Lead Mines IN tie Hasssis
Of Comtederatcs-The National n
telligencer says:
The richest lead mine in Missouri.
and, indeed, probably on the globe.
is now in the hands of the insurgents,
though they did not succeed in Oh
tanning any of the metal. The mine
to which we refer is situated near
the village Of CRANKY, Newton coun-
ty, within twenty-five miles of the
southwestern border of that State.
1t was opened about two years ago
by party of capitalists, having their
headquarters at ST. Louis, and is
known by the name of the Blow and
Kennel Mine. Last year it yielded
about seventy-fve thousand pigs, or
six millions Of pounds, Unlike the
mines in East Missouri and North
western Illinois, this is situated in
level prairie Of vast extent. The
supply of ore has been pronounce:
inexhaustible by the State Geo .ogist.
and the quality is considered the best
on the glove, having scarcely any ad
mixtures Of foreign substances. The
great difficulty has been itransporta-
ton, there being no navigable river
nearer than the Missouri, and no
railroad beyond Rolla, which is full
ly one hundred miles distant. The
western terminus Of the Pacific Rail
road is little further off; but this
route has been usually taken on ac-
count of the superior character of the
common roads in that part of Missou-
ri. With the mines and furnances
at CRANKY in their possession, the
the Confederates can supply them
selves with lead to any required ex-
tent.
