Verdict of a Jury of Boys.

When DIR. Nathaniel Prentice taught a
public school in Roxbury. he was very
much favorite; but his patience at times
would get very much exhausted by the
infractions of the school rules by the
scholars. On one occasion, in rather q
wrathy way, he threatened to punish with
six blows of a heavy -ferule the, first boy
detected in whispering, and appointed
some as detectors. Shortly after, one OF
tho detectOrs shouted:
. Master. John Zeigler is whispering"
John was called up and asked if it was
a fact. John, by the way was fayorite
both with his teacher and sehoolmates }
Yes" answered John; Il was not
aware of what / was about; | was intent
on working out sum, and requested the
boy who sat next, to hand me the arith-
metic that contained the rule which
wished TO see"
The doctor regretted his hasty threat
but told John that he could not suffer
him to whisper or escape the Punishment,
and cont;lued:
Il wish ! could avoid it, but cannot,
without forfeiture of my word. will,
he continued, "leave it to any three schol-
ars you may choose, to say whether or
not omit the punishment"
John said he was agreed to that, and
Immediately called out G.. s.. T. D., and
d. P. D. The doctor told them TO return
a verdict. which they soon did, after
consultation, as follows:
The masters word must be kept in
violate-John must receive the threaten
ed six blows of the ferule; but it must be
inflicted on voluntary proxies-and we,
the arbitrators, will share the punishment
by receiving each ofus two blows"
John, who had listened to the verdict.
stepped up to the doctor. and with out
stretched hand, exclaimed:
Master, here is my hand they shan't
be struck blow will receive the pun
ishment."
The doctor, under pretense of wiping
his face, shielded his eyes, and telling the
boys to go to their seats, said he would
think of it. believe he did think of it
to his dying day, but the punishment was
never inflicted. NidiZessr Journal.

WHITE SLAVERY IN HELENA ARK,-Iwas
greatly surprised the other day by the
declaration of person with whom had
been conversing in the post Office of this
place, when in reply to a suggestion of
mine about his loyalty, he answered,
why my dear sir, am a slave. | be-
long to Dr." l looked in his face,
unable to believe my own eyes. His COM
plectian was whittier than my own; his
eyes blue gray; his hair and features
Caucasion his language free from the
negro dialect. | asked him again: ''ls it
possible that you are slave! Why don't
you go North and claim the privileges of
freeman ?" He answered, have wife
and children" and | don't want to 90
till can take them with me they've been
allowed by master to follow by business
as barber in this place, and by giving
him stipulated sum, have been permitted
to enjoy measure of freedom, and to
possess little property of my own. As
soon as | can realize something of this
property, intend, while the opportunity
exists, to secure the freedom of myself
and family" Our conversation had COM
menced upon written document which
he had been showing me, and which he
could read as well as myself. When he
left me, | wondered greatly that such a
man, at least 40 years of age, evidently a
gentleman and Christian, could he be
held a slave, and another white man be
allowed to take his wages for naught in
Christian community. And then / re-
membered that the modern doctrine of
the South, as taught by the Richmond
Enquirer, and other expounders of the
system, is that slavery is not based upon
complexion or race, but that capital
should own labor, and the best condition
of society is that in which the entire Ia
boring population are slaves. This is
the doctrine on which the leaders of this
rebellion are trying to establish South
ern Confedracy, and thousands of labor
ing men in the South are blindly led to
give it their aid by fighting against the
government of their fathers from mere
sectional hatred and prejudice.-Tnb,tne

A Confirmed GrumbIer.

Some time ago there lived in Edin-
burgh a well-known grumbler, named
Sandy Black, whose oft recurring fits
spleen or Indigestion produced some am
using scenes ofsenseless irritability, which
were highly relished by all except the
brute's good, patient little wife. One
morning Sandy rose, bent on a quarrel ;
the haddies and eggs were excellent, done
to turn, and had been ordered by him
self the previous evening; and break fast
passed without the looked for cause of
complaint.
What will you have for dinner, San
dy?" said Mrs. Black.
"A chicken, madam" said the hus-
band
Roast or boiled?" asked the wife
''Confound it, madam, if you had
been a good and considerate wife, you'd
have known before this what | liked. ."
Sandy growled out, and, slamming the
deor behind him, left the house. 1t was
in Spring, and friend who was present
heard the little wife say ''Sandy's bent
on disturbance to-day; | shall not please
him, do what can"
The dinner time came, and Sandy and
his friend sat down to dinner: the fish
was eaten in silence, and, on raising the
cover of the dish before him, in tower
ing passion he called out, Boiled chick
enl ! hate it, madam. A chicken boil
ed is chicken spoiled"
Immediately the cover was raised from
another chicken, rosted to turn.
Madam, l wont eat roast chicken"
roared Sandy; ''you know how it should
have been cooked
At the instant broiled chicken, with
mushrooms, was placed on the table.
Without green peas" roared the
grumbler.
Hare they are, dear" said Mrs Black.
"How dare you spend my money in
that way ?"
"They were present." said the wife,
interrupting him.
Rising from his chair and rushing from
the room, amid roar of laughter from
his friend, he clenched his fist and shout
ed, "How dare you eceive present with
out my leave"

UNDER TIE SUN

There are little birds in the sycamore trees
III Ioillng and singing. the whole day long:
/ W orking with gladneSS while daylight lasts:
Cheering their labor with merry song
mere are green fields waving in wind and rain
Ielllng of labor yet TO be done
When the grain shall be ripened and gathered in
golden harveSt-under the sun.
| Under its banks, TO the restless sea-
Floweth the river'al clear and bright.
Kissing the flowers which grow in its path;
Dsancing along through the pleasant light:
Rocking the boats on its bosom broad
As into the harbor they gladly run;
dreaming and sparkling, as to the sea
IL nOWeth forever down, under the sun.
There are great hearts si9hng for honor and fame
= Chaslng phantom. which seems TO stand
Ever before them in mOekery fair
Holding crown in its Outstretched hand
Ahere are prisons. with windows and doors all bar
Making dark shadows that all men shun.
While the prisoners chained in their dreary cells
Dream OF the freedom out under the sun.
Under the sun there are lovers. still
Dreaming the dream that can never grow old;
IreaSuring treSses of waving hair,
Brighter and dearer than wealth untold:
Seelng for ever but one dear face
Hearing for ever no voice one,
So dream the lovers, that same old dream,
Making a heaven down under the sun.
Little feet wearied before the time:
Little hands folded up on the breast;
Bright eyes closed ere the sad tesrs came
50 go the little ones unto their rest.
Old men, laying their strong staff down,
Close their eyes on the race all run.
Death is an angel. that leads the way
Out of the shadow down under the sun.
Grave-yards spread over hill and dale, .
Graves far down in the deep blue sea,
Tell where our hopes and our joys lie hid,
Safe in the depths of eternity.
But hether the flowers bloom over their graves
Or the waves ing over the treasures won,
Their angels look out from the heaven above,
And watch those who love them down under the
sun.
There are pain and labor and sin and woe
Like dark clouds lowering over the way,
With hope and happiness shining through all,
The sunshine making the pleasant day.
But time will come when the cares shall cease,
When We weep no more-but. with work all done,
Fold gladly our h nds Ger our quiet hearts.
And rest from all murmuring. under the sun.

1t PAYS to Take the Papers.

A capital story is told of an old farmer
in the northern part of this county, who
had been Saving up" to take a mortgage
of S2, 900 held against him by a man near
the sea shore. The farmer had saved up
all the money in gold, fearing to trust the
banks in these war times. Week before
last he lugged down the money and paid
it over, when the following colloquy en-
sued:
"Why, you don't mean TO give this s., :
900 in gold, do your" said the lender.
Eyes, certainly" said the farmer. Il
was afraid of the pesky banks, so Pye been
saving up the money in yellow boys for
you this long time"
"All right" responded the lender,
''only 1 thought you didn't take the pa
pers; that's all
Take the papers, No, not l. They've
gone on so since this wars been a-going
that | won't have the devilish things
about But the money is all right, isn't
it 90
"Yes, all right, $1,000 in gold. alright.
Here's your note and mortgage"
And well might he have called it all
right, as the premium on gold that day
was % per cent, and the gold was not
only worth the face of his bond, but 40
dollars besides, enough to have paid for
his village newspaper for himself and pos :
terity for at least three centuries. Itpays

The Youth who Loves his Mother
and his Country.

Ia certain coach, not many DAYS
since, was a country youth with freck-
ed,sunburnt face, and features decidedly
plain. His fellow travellers fell into con-
versation, and of course the war soon be-
came the topic. At the word car, the
youth looked up with sudden interest,"

learning my trade to go home and get
permission to enlist but my mother can't
consent, so am going back to work. !
feel badly about it, but | hate to break
my poor mothers heart"
As the boy spoke, there was an express
ion of true, manly feeling upon his face
which actually beautifed it. Two strong
emotions eontended with each other: lore
for mother, and l0Ue for country.
But what if they draft?" asked gen.
tleman present.
Il shall never be drafted.' was the
quick response. As soon as they say
Draft, PH eaEst! My mother must give
me up then, for | can fight for my coun-
try only as a volunteer"
Noble boy may God bless him. Doubt
less his name is already enrolled in the
great army of volunteers. MAY he fight
bravely for his beloved country, and
when it is regenerated through blood and
tears, may he return in safety to his dear
mother Trumpet

Clean Cellars.

If we were asked, which should be the
finest apartment in house, we should
probably answer, Not the parlor, not
the drawing room, but the cellar" There
are two reasons for the answer First, 8
bad dirty cellar appears to combine the
idea OF all that is repulsiye-damp, often
slve, musty, putrid air-rotten apples,
rotten cabbages, rotten potatoes, rotten
bOards-the effluvia creeping through ev-
cry open window and open door, and
through the cracks of every closed
window and closed door, into all parts
of the house-into the kiehen, into the
parlor and dining room, into sleeping
apartments,-andl laying the foundation
of sickness and feyers. Secondly, neat,
well-lighted, marble-hoored, whitewashed
cellar, combines a good deal that is
pleasant One room NAV have in it a
supply of sweet butter and milk, and in
another excellent apples and delicious,
melting pears; the food that is placed on
every table is known to come from this
model cellar, where everything is pure
and clean.
Does some one now say, Il can't afford
to make such an expensive cellar" We
reply it need not be expensive. The

above another, so that one can pass all
around them. and have them all neatly
painted; and also procure a set of pota-
to boxes or bins, with covers to exclude
light, and have all these planed and
painted.
1t Is a good time of year, now, to get
the cement floor made, and whether it is
made or not, it is absolutely necessary
that every dirty cellar be now thoroughly
cleaned out before storing any ofthe new
crops of fruits and vegetables; and i'm

Lock-JaW Cured.

The following remarkable case of the
cure of lock-jaw, is related by the H0E
ian Medical Gazette of Milan. A hair-dress-
er of that city accidentally received a cut
with scythe on the palm of his left
hand, near the wrist This occurred
about the beginning of March, 1861; the
wound healed in six days, and it was not
until the Both following that, on rising
from his bed, he felt some difficulty in
opening his mouth, beside contraction in
his left hand, which he could not stretch
out, and pains in the right hip and thigh.
During the first days, these phenomena
disappeared on going to bed, but COM
menced again as soon as he rose and ex-
posed himself TO the open air. On the
10th of April, the symptoms becoming
more intense, he was taken to the hospi-
tai. On the following day a spasmodic
contraction of the muscles of the lower
jaw, and rigidity in those of the neck
were observed; the left hand experienced
a contraction every time it was taken
from under the bed clothes, and the pain
on the right side continued: the pulse
was very slightly agitated. Sixteen
ounces of chloride of barytes. dissolved
in a pound of distilled water, were pre-
scribed, to be taken in the course of
twenty-four hours This treatment was
continued until the 2lst, when the symp-
toms of lock,jaw having nearly entirely
disappeared the dose was reduced to
eight grains day, and the remedy en-
tirely let off on the Goth; two days later
the patient left the hospital in perfect
health.

What We Nav Do.

No human being can be isolated and
self-sustained. The strongest and bravest
and most hopeful have yet, acknowledged
or unacknowledged, to themselves, mo-
ments of hungry soul-yearnings for COM
panionship and sympathy. For the want
of this, what wrecks of humanity lie
strown about us. Youth wasted for the
mocking semblance of friendship. Adrift
at the mercy of chance, for the grasp of a
true firm hand, and kindly loving heart
to counsel. 1t is affecting to see how
strong is this yearning, so fatal to its pos
SCISSOR, if not guided rightly, such a life
anchor if safely placed. " FriendlessH'
What tragedy may be hidden in that
one little word. None to labor for; none
to weep or smile with; none to care
whether we lose or win in life's struggle.
A kind word or smile, coming to such
an one unexpectedly at some such crisis
of life, how often it has been the plank
to the drowning man, lacking which he
must surely have perished. These, sure
ly, we may bestow as we pass those less
favored than ourselves, whose souls are
waiting for our sympathetic recognition.

Rebel Neglect ofsick and Wounded.

The Richmond Examiner of the 18th
says:-All the information from our army
is buIdened with complaints of the wretch
ed and shameful arrangements for the
sick and wounded From Winchester to
Stanton, ninety miles, there are no ac-
commodations provided for the sick and
wounded. The fault is not with the sub
ordinates, but lies at the door of the Med
ical Director here in Richmond. The i'll
treatment of our sick and wounded is a
crying abuse; nothing dampens the ardOr
of our soldiers so much-it demoralises
the service and disgraees humanity, gov
ernment and our officers in the field. 1t
is fact, none of our Generals, except
Beauregard, has ever visited one of our
hospitals.
''The commissary department is the
most corrupt branch of this government.
The system of contracts by this bureau,
and the fashion which all Mr.. Northrup's
assistant commissaries seem to have of
leading that official by his nose, have
given rise to speculatiOns on the army
and the country, which will be found,
when fully developed, to rival tie eorrup-
ton of the Washington government"

How to Prosper in Business

In the first place, make up your mind
to accomplish whatever you undertake; de-

and persevere in it. All difficulties are
overcome by diligence and assiduity. Be
not afraid to work with your hands, and
diligently, too. "A cat in gloves catches
no mice" He who remains IN the mill
grinds; not he who goes and comes. At
tend to your own business; never trust to
any one else. "A pot that belongs to too
many is i'll stirred and worse boiled" Be
frugal That which will not make pot
will make a pot-hd" Save the pence.
and the pounds will take care of them

Treat every one with respect and eiviity.
Everything is gained and nothing lost by
