EFFECT OF LAZiNESS.

A lazy boy makes a lazy man just as
sure as a crooked sapling makes crook
ed tree. Think of that, my little lads.
Who ever saw boy grow up in idleness
that did not make lazy, shiftless vaga-
bond when he was old enough to be a
a man, though he was not a man in char
acter, unless he had fortune left him to
keep up appearance The great mass
of thieves, paapers and criminals have
come to what they are by being brought
up to do nothing useful. All those who
are good men now, and useful to the
community, were industrious when they
were boys. If you do not love to work
now, love for industry can soon be &C
quired by habit. So, my little reader, /
want you to look round at once for
something to do, in doing which you
can benefit somebody. Shun idleness as
YOU would the evil one.

What /. Toad Did for . Soldier.


A friend, connected with the United
States Sanitary Commission, relates for
the American Agriculturalist the follow
ing incident:
A number Of wounded from the battle
Of Petersburg were lying in hospital
tent among whom was a negro, whose
leg had been taken off He was on a
mattress ON the ground, and, the weather
being hot, the dressed stump OF his leg
was exposed. and swarm of flies were
setting upon it. Presently large toad
hoped into the tent, and taking his
station near the edge of the bed, began
gobbIing up the blue bottles in double
quick The moment one alighted within
six inches of the spot, he squared him
self for the attack, his eyes twinkling
with excitement, and then, with Hash
Of his tongue and a smack of his mouth,
the unlucky insect would disappear
The boy was asleep when this common
ced, but soon awoke, and was at first
frightened at the 'ugly toad" SO near him,
but our friend babe him be quiet, and
pointed out the service the creature was
rendering him, when the negro and all
present voted him a member of the Com
mission, with many thanks, and his kin
bred were at once in high favor.

Convention is to take place here to-day, and

event. 80
Gov. Perry, in letter which he has re-
Gently written, states that in cases where
rebels have taken the amnesty oath and re-
ceived his recommendation to the President
for pardon, it is presumable that the par
don will be granted and that they are there
fore entitled to serve as members of the
Convention on this presumption. ,.,.a
The Charleston Courier of August 31st
says: 1t is stated that decision has been
arrivedat chat only those will be entitled
to vote at the approaching election for the
Convention, who were actually legal voters
in 1860. If the report be correct, it disfran-
chises all who may have attained age, or
who may have become qualified since that
time, and conflicts with the interest and in
tent andlspirit of Gov. Perry's proclama-
tion, based upon the announcement made
by President Johnson that the laws in re-
lation to suffrage in force prior to secession
should alone be valid.
A movement is on foot to invite Presi-
dent johnson to extend his contemplated
visit to Richmond as lar as Charleston.

invested and blockaded, so that the rebel
garrison may receive no succor from out

summoning Witnesses for Wirtz.

New YORK, Sept. 4.-The Tribunes
Washington. special sayss G.. b. Emerson,
of the Writ military Commission, has Just
returned from the South, where he was
sent by the Government to summon wit
nesses for the defense. The names of about
sixty officers and men were furnished by
Wirtz. Considerable difficulty was eXpe-
rienced by Mr.. Emerson in finding the
witnesses, as they were scattered over the
States of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Florida and Georgia, and num-
ber were found to have gone to Texas,
Mexico and Europe Out of the list of
sixty, but thirty-three were found, all of
whom are now on their way to this city.
Many of the ex-rebel officers were fearful
that if they came to Washington they
would be arrested and placed In conflne
ment by the Government, and it was not
until they had received due assurances,
thatthey would comeout from their hiding
places. The list of those subp9nied en-
braces the names of officers of all grades,
from the rank of Colonel down, and also a
number of private soldiers. Most of those
summoned served with Writ while he was
in command of the Andersonville prison
pen. The sutler, eOmmissary and quarter
master of Andersonville are also among the
number. During his soiourn in the South,
the different military commanders cheer
fully cO-operated with Mr.. Emerson, and
gave him every assistance in the discovery
and summoning of witnesses.
