800 DOLLAR VETERAN.

FREAK OF NATURE.-A story is told
of an apple tree planted over the grave
of Roger Williams to this effect: The
tree had pushed downward one of it,
main roots in sloping direction, and
nearly straight course, toward the precise
spot that bad been occupied by the skull
of Roger Williams; there, making turn
conforming with its circumference, the
root followed the direction Of the back
bone to the bips, and thence divided into
two branches, each one following the leg
bone to the heel, where they both turned
upward to the extremeties of the toes OF
the skeleton. One of the roots formed a
curve a, the part occupied by the knee
joint, thus producing an increased resem-
blance to the outlines of the skeleton, as
il, indeed, nodded thereto BY the powers
of vegetable life. This singularly form.
ed root has been carefully preserved, as
constituting a very impressive exemplif-
cation Of the mode in which the contents
Of the grave had been entirely absorbed

True Courage.

Man cannot come to his full growth of
character and influence without courage.
The term is from coeur, ''heart' s'soul. :"
1t is not mere physical instinct. 1t is
not the spirit that animates those men
of whom it may be said, "They are
brave In proportion as they are without
thought. Courage is rather that deep
conviction, or that solid purpose which
gathers strength by delay.
We are told that icebergs in the
northern seas are sometimes seen moving
northward, in the face of strong tides
and winds setting toward the south
This movement is explained by the fact
of deep under currents drifting along at
the base of the ice mountain, and moving
it with irresistible power So the real
courage of the soul is power which
seems and goes counter to superficial
tides. 1t is a principle of self propulsion,
moving in The direction of reason, and
conscience, and heart It is that rare
power Of the soul which is able to say
of a proposed undertaking, at may be
difficult, it may be costly, it may be odd,
but it is right, and I dare to do it.
One OF the greatest triumphs Of courage
is to dare to be ones self-to stand in
ones own shoes, accepting ones own
personality, addressing one S self to ones
own responsibilities, envying none, I'M
itating none.

Nobleness of Labor.

Labor, for. a fair remuneration, wheth-
er of the brain or hand, should be the
glory of America; besides, there is true
dignity in labor, especially in cultivating
the sod. The object which the farmer
has in view is to subdue the earth; to
eradicate the briars and thorns, and to
plant in their stead what is useful and
beautiful to man. 1t is to fulfill the
original appointment Of the Creator, that
man ''shall eat bread in the sweat of his
face. ~ Labor" says a noble worker.
"has been made by Providence the law
of mans condition, 1t is the price at
which whatever is valuable in life must
be earned Whatever, therefore, de-
grades labor as the business of life. or
renders it .distastefpl or dishonorable.
does violence to our social laws no less
than to wise economy" All improve
mental progress of the race in civili-
zation-has been the result of intelli-
gent labor 1t has built our cities, dug
our canals, constructed our railroads. de-
veloped our lead, iron and copper mines,
built our steamers and ships, given life
and energy to the industrial arts, and
above al, is feeding and clothing our
people and providing for their happiness.
The nation" says DR.. Samuel johnson,
"that can furnish food and raiment, those
universal commodities, may have her
ships welcomed at thousand ports, or
sit at home and receive the tribute of
foreign countries, enjoy their arts, or
treasure up their gold" Let all labor,
therefore, be crowned with honor-that
labor, especially, which contributes so
much to the welfare of man, and allows
him TO approach nearest, through Ma
ture to Natures God.

across the little rivule5 known as Mine
Run, when moments appeared to be hours
and hours days, SO near at hand seemed
the deadly strife, solitary sheep leis-
urely walked along the run ON the rebel
side. a. rebel vidette fired and killed
the sheep, and dropping his gun, advanc-
ed to remove the prize. In an instant
he was covered by gun in the hands
of a Union viaette, who said, Divide is
the word or your dead johnny" This
proposition was assented to, and there,
between the two skirmish lines, Mr..
Rebel skinned the sheep, took one half
and moved back with it to his post when
his challenger, in turn, dropping his gun,
crossed the run, got the other half OF the
sheep and again resumed the duties of
bis post amidst the cheers of his com
rades who expected to help him eat it
Of the hundreds of HOSTILE men arrayed
against each other on either bank of that
run, not one violated the truce intultive-
ly agreed upon by those two soldiers.

Desert of Sahara.

Perhaps no more hopeless enterprise
could be undertaken than to attempt to
reclaim the great African desert of Sa-
nara, where no rain ever falls, and there
are but occasional GASES to give relief to
the weary and fainting caravans that ira
verse it. Modern science, however,
laughs at seeming impossibilities. Skill
full engineers in the French army in AL
giers propose to sink Artesian wells at
different points with strong confidence
that thus water could be reached and
forced to the surface. In 1861, five Ar
tesian wells had been opened, around
which, as vegetation thrives luxuriantly,
thirty thousand palm trees and one thou
sand fruit trees were planted, and two
thriving villages established. At the
depth of a little over five hundred feet,
an underground river or lake was struck,
and from two Of them live fish have been
thrown up, showing that there was a
large body of water underneath The
French government by this means hopes
to make the route across the desert to
Timbuctoo fertile ana fit for travellers,
and thus to bring the whole overland
travel and commerce through Algeria,
which will be one of the greatest feats
of modern scientific enterprise.

Original Identity


Professor G, of one of our fourishing
New England colleges, was an able man.
but unfortunately had hobby, which
he rode in season and out of season,
much to the annoyance of the students.
His was an exceedingly fne-spun meta
physical theory, to the effect that the
original identity of a substance is never
lost by any transmutatien or change
which may take place in respect to the
substance itself. -
One lecture evening, after the worthy
Professor had expatiated at some length
on his favorite topic, an irreverent stu
dent asked leave to propose a question,
when the following colloquy ensued =
Student. You see this knife which
hold in my hand?
Prof Certainly. 4.A 80 = y q
Student. If [ should lose the blade.
and have new one put in its place,
would it be the same knife afterwards?
Prof Most assuredly,
& Student. Then. if | should subse-
quently lose the handle, and get it re-
placed, would it still be the same knife +?
Prof. Certainly.
Student. Then, if some one should
find the original blade and handle, and
put them together, what knife would
that be?
The answer of the Professor is not re-
ported. r

Whiskey and Newspapers.

A glass of whiskey is manufactured
from perhaps a dozen grains Of mashed
corn, the value of which is too small to
be estimated. A pint of this mixture
sells at retail for one shilling, aud if Of
a good brand, it is considered by it's
consumers we'll worth the money. 1t is
drank off in minute or two-it fires
the brain-rouses the passions-sharp-
ems the appetite-deranges and weakens
the physical system; it is gone-and
swollen eyes, parched lips and an ach-
ing head are its followers On the same
sideboard upon which this is served, lies
a newspaper, the new white paper of
which cost three fourths of cent. Ii
is covered with hundred thousand
types, it brings intelligence from the
four quarters Of the globe-it has in its
clearly printed columns all that's strange
or new at home-it tells you the state
of the market-gives accounts Of the
war,-the latest steamboat explosion or
railroad disaster-articles ON philoso-
ply, government, religion, &C., and yet
for all this, the newspaper costs less
than the glass of grog-the juice of a
few grains of corn. 1t is no less strange
than true, that there are large portion
of tbs community who think the corn
juice cheap and the newspaper dear,
and the printer has hard work to collect
his dimes, when the liquor dealers are
paid cheerfully.
How is this? Is the body a better
paymas ter than the head, and are things
of the moment more priced than things
of the future? Is the transient tick
ling of the stomach of more consequence
than the Improvement of the mind, and
the information that is essential to ma
tional being? If this had its real value,
would not the newspaper be worth many
pints of whiskey?
