TIE FAT Mas AND CoMNIsSIONER.-
1t is we'll known that Commissioner
Knapp was very precise and exact iD his
proceedings; always kept an eye to the
interests Of the country, while d-N;iUg
honorably with all. Now it happened
that among the abIe.bodied men drafted
there was an obese specimen Of human.
ity, but whom the chances hit as one
of the elect. When he received his
ticket for soup" he FASTENED to town,
and knowing where lived the cutest spec.
linen of a lawyer, he went straight to his
Office. He said:
I'm drafted !"
The deuce you are it must have
been a strong man that drafted you!"
"Well, I'm drafted, and | want to get
out, Can't march. I'll pay WELL"
VERY we'll"
The twain proceeded to the Office Of the
Commissioner.
Here" said the lawyer, "COmmis-
sioner, | have substitute"
Commissioner looked at the wheezy
specimen for some time.
He won't do can't march,"
"But he must do" blundered out the
lawyer; land you know he will"
"He can't march he won't do; and l
can't take him."
This was what our smart friend wanted.
He won't do, eh?"
"No; he won't"
"Well, then, scratch his name off the
list; he is drafted and wants to be ex-
empted!"
The commissioner looked at the lawyer
for about minute; then regarded the
fat draft, and, without speaking a word,
scratched off his name.

A SERMON TO MOTHERS. Most Of US
haze been quite spoiled by our very ten.
der and most loving mothers, during our
childhood years. The embroidery, and
the gold tasscls, and the drums and
swords and toys, more than all the "evil
communications" of after life, have in
corpoEated US with foOlery, vanity, idle,
ness and wickedness. If you would ac-
custom aud train your little boy, or your
lille gifl, to vanity, folly, expense, pride
and idleness, begin while they arc yet
uk1eE two years Of age cover them with
rich garments, richly trimmcd-yea, ex-
psnsive silks and laces-b brOadcloth jack
cts, embroidered mantles, skirts and
breeches, hats with costly feathers and
ribbons, and the ruddiest morocco leather
bootees. All these, though they cost an
hundred dollars a suit, are indispensable
to children at that age, for they enable
the little dcars to outshine the little dearS
in tho next house, and to keep company
with the jolly little pigs and dogs in the
neighboring gutter! Even though those
fine things shall soon be spoiled, your
little ones shall not for a moment be suf-
fered to 60 without new set-fOr what
would the Mrs. Grundys around say if
the standard articles OF infantne tinery
were not kept up by your children p
and therefore, a new set of things for Bub
or Sis, by all means. And thus they
grow from year to year, from youth to
puberty, more and more confirmed in
folly, vanity, expense and id!eness. As
persons trained to such finery cannot be
expected to work, where sweat is called
for, and must yet have all this finery, it
follows as n natural consequence they
scheme, and swindle, and prostitute their
honor to obtain them. Ii you ask the
experienced police detective, he will tell
you that the bulk of male and female
criminals are made up of those whose
childhood and youth were nurtured in
dress, vanity, luxury and idlenesS. a
better plan for rearing your little ones is
to cover their bodies with woolen bIouses
as the French mechanics of Paris clothe
their children, and teach them to do
something useful. Instead of spending a
hundred dollars in fineTy for your little
chilli. set the money to hatch, IN his or
her name, in some interest. bearing stocks
purchase o share Of one hundred dol
lars, which may by compounding and &C.
cumulating, in FIVE years be worth two
hundred; in fifteen years more, at this
rate, the small principal will have aug
mented to sixteen hundred dollars. This
sum to an industriously trained young
man or young woman would prove a
handsome capital with which to COM
mence life, and may be secured by say.
ing suit or two Of childhood toggery.

HENcEFoRwARD.-A Republican paper
says: Henceforward the Fourth o!
July and the First Of January will be as
sociated together in the annals Of free.
dom, and the names of George Washing.
ton and Abraham Lincoln be alike sym
hols Of all that is great and good in hu.
man kind" That will do! Washington
founded government and Lincoln is do
ing much to break it up. Washington
owned slaves Lincoln never did. Wash
ington urged upon his countrymen q
strict adherence to the Constitution F.;
Lincoln thinks the Constitution, as we'll
as traitors should be suspended. Wash
ington thought that if freedom ought to
be given to the slaves, it belongs to the
States to emancipatc them; Lincoln
thinks it,belongs to the President Quite
a parallel! As to the Fourth of July
and First Of January relationship, the
Americans were never slaves, and that

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-There is q
point in the following anecdote: A pas
tor was making a call upon an old lady
who made it a habitual rule never to
speak i'll of another, and had observed it
so closely that she always justified those
whom she had heard evil spoken of. Be.
fore the old lady made her appearance in
the parlor her several children were
speaking of the peculiarly of their moth.
er, and one Of them playfully added:
"Mother has such habit of speaking
well of erybody, that l believe il Satan
himself were the subject of conversation
mother would find some virtue or good
quality even in him."
OF course this remark elected some
smiling and merriment at the originality
of the idea, in the midst of which the old
lady entered the room. and on being told
what had been said, she Immediately and
voluntarily replied:
"Well, my children, l wish we all had
Satan's industry and perseverance"

A Warm Bath Wager.

Smith was man who never permitted
himself to be outdone he could do
whatever anybody else could. Smith
met Brown in bath room, and Brown
knowing the others conceit, said that
he Brown could endure hotter bath
than any living man. Thereat Smith
fired up, and bet was made. Two
bathing tubs were prepared, with SIX
inches of water in each. The fellows
stripped, and, separated by cloth par
tition, each one got in and let on the hot
water at the word-thc wager being
who should stay in the longest with the
hot water running. Smith drew up his
feet as far as possible from the boiling
stream, while Brown pulled out the plug
in the bottom of the tub. After about
half a minute, quoth Smith:
How is it Brown pretty warm?
Yes, said the other, it's getting
mighty hot; but I guess | can hold out
a minute longer.
SO can j. answered Smith. 'Scis-s
