DUTCH REASONING.

A drunken Dutchman, was recently
arrested by saloon keeper and sued for
"unpaid drinks" He scorned the advice
of counsel, or assistance of attorneys, and
delivered himself for the edifcation of the
Court of the following ingenious plea:
'May it please your honor! To borrow
is the first principle of nature. Does not
the river borrow from the brook, and the
ocean from the river? Do not the clouds
borrow from the air, and the earth from
the clouds? Does not the moon borrow
her light from the sun, and the night
borrow it again from the moon? Was
not man taken from the earth, and his
''frau" borrowed from his side Since
then all nature has established this grand
system of universal credit, why should
not man, made in the image of God, have
natural claim on the credit system 3
And since the mighty ocean is not
ashamed to borrow of the puny river, why
then should not a lean 'sbummer" borrow
from fat bar-keeper? Now, your honor
knows the feeble lighted moon never
returns the borrowed light to the sun,
why then should poor beer-driuker pay
rich beer-seller? 1t is contrary to
natural law, it is an absurdity. But what
does the river do when it has borrowed
too much from the brooks and streams
1t runs away. Nature, then, has set me
an example Twill follow and run away.
And before the Sheriff could reach him
he had cleared the Court House and was
out Of reach. The most ingenious way tt
get drinks cheap, surely.

NO P0sTP0NEMENT.

This story is related OF lawyer who
has since attained eminence in his pro.
fession A case in which be was engaged
as counsel for the defendant came on at a
certain day. As he was insuficiently
prepared, be was very anxious to have the
case postponed few days, that he might
have further time for his purpose. Un.
fortunately there was a great press of
business, and he knew that this motion
would be over-ruled unless some extraor-
dinary reason was alleged. Under these
circumstances, he bethought himself of
an expedient Rising with his handker-
chief to his face, he addressed the judge
in accents of great apparent emotion !:
"May it please your honor, | have just
been Informed that my mother is at the
point of death. My emotions are too
great for me to proceed in this case. |
move that it be postponed until day after
tomorrow" This request would Of
course have been granted by the court,
whose sympathies were strongly excited
in bis behalf; but at this moment, to the
discontinue of the lawyer, and the amuse-
ment of the audience, the shrill voice of
his mother was heard from the gallery !:
IcHABoD IoHABoD !! how often have
I whipped you for lying n The case
was not postponed, nor was it gained by
the afflicted counsel. hea Clies

GEN. GRANTS WAR HoRsB.-The
General is peculiarly proud of his stud.
but is particularly SO of his war charger.
To the few friends to whom he unbends
he takes great delight in exhibiting his
horses. A friend of mine was with Grant
one day and the conversation turned upon
horses. "Perhaps," said Grant, ''you
would like to see the horse | have ridden
through all of the campaigns that | COM
manded." The General ordered his horse
to be brought out. To the astonishment
of the gentleman the animal seemed no
more than lady's palfrey. Small, slen-
der, with agile limbs black as coal, an
eye like hawk, intelligent, but mild,
with the unmistakable lick on each side
of the name, not unlike the "cowlick" on
boys head, looking for all the world
like family pet for women and children.
The visitor uttered his astonishment by
saying, Beautiful, but no endurance. y
"Endurance p said General Grant, "this
animal exceeds any horse flesh ever saw
for endurance. I have taken this horse
out at daylight, and kept in the saddle
till dark, aud be came in as fresh when |
returned as when I saddled him in the
morning. Gold could not buy him. He
was imported from rare breed by JEFF
Davis himself. He was taken from JEFF
Davis plantation" This conversation
was held just before Davis was caught.
ri suppose" said the visitor, "you would
exchange this horse for JEFF Davis 2"-
"You have said it," said the General, 81
would exchange it for the rebel chief, but
for nothing else under heaven" Such
is the renowned war hores Of the Lieuten-
ant General.

n1sCrpLINE.

Gotthold one day looked on while far
.mer's wheat was being threshed, and OBJ
served that the men not only stoutly beat
it, but trod upon it with their feet, and f.
nally, by various expedients, separated the
good grain from the chaff, dust, and other
impurities How comes it, he asked him
self, that whatever is of a useful nature,
and intended to be profitable to the world,
must suffer much and be subjected to ev-
cry kind of ill-treatment; but that man,
who himself does with other things as he
lists is unwilling to suffer, or permit God
to do as he lists with him. Wheat, which
is the noblest of all the products of the
earth, is here threshed, trod upon, swept
about, tossed into the air, sifted, shaken,
and shovelled, and afterwards ground, re-
sifted, and baked, and SO arrives at last
upon the tables Of princes and kings
What, then, do mean in being displeased
with God because he does mot strew my
path with rose leaves, or transplant me to
heaven in an easy cnair? By what other
process could the wheat be oleared2--

"THE COUNTRY CHURCH"

We clip the following bit Of sentiment
from the Lockport Daily Union. 1t
brings olden memories back:
We have been to the country church
that was old when we were young. It is
neither costly nor grand, but rude and
homely, with moss growing about the
caves, where pair of swallows built their
nests in summer that is dead. There are no
lofty marble pillars near the porch nor
tesselated doors, nor has it skillful ar
chitecture; but there it stands, plain
old building, hallowed relic of other days,
1t has no gallery, where the hired musi-
clans let fall the liquid tones of sounds.
aNor deep-toned organ blown, nor sensor swung,
Nor dim light streaming through pictured pane"
But still we like the old church It
brings back to us the dasied slopes of
childhood, the joyous anticipations of the
future, and the golden CLEANS of gladness
that hover round the steps of youth. We
hear echoing through memory's corridor
the holy words falling from the pale
browed man whose guileless teachings
sank deep into our hearts. We have
listened since then to the sermons of the
great, rhetorical, and brilliant metaphors,
and poetic imagery, and flights of fancy
but their high toned beauty has failed to
touch our hearts as did the simple elo-
quence of the min ster in the old church.
There, too, is the graveyard where
sleep in dust the ashes of those who were
80 dear to US in life, aud whose memories
come to US with the rise of the sun, aud
the pale light of stars. There rest the
companions of our schooboy days, and our
youthful sports. And there, too, she
lies who roamed hand in hand With us
about the valley. who plucked with us
wild flowers beside the brook, who saw
with the appreciative eye the violet bloom
ing on the robe of May, and wept with
us happy tears at the glory and gorgeous
ness of summer sunsets. For eleven years
she has listened to the harp notes Of the
angels. Still we love to linger beside her
grave near the old church, and fancy
that the mild breathing Of the evening air
is caused by the soft rustlng of an angels
wings. Do not blame us for loving the
old church, for memories are ours, pure
and holy as the dreams of dying saint,
when we sit in the shadow of its walls.

How Fred Douglass Escaped from Sla-
very,

The prominence given to the negro,
Fred Douglass, by his presence in Wash
ington, and the interview that worthy
has had with the President, calls to mind
circumstance of his early life, related
to us by gentleman Of this city.
It occurred thirty-fve years ago in
Raleigh, N. G., but remains fresh in the
mind of our informant. At that period
say 1882, the present illustrious Fred
was the property of Governor Dudley, of
North Carolina, and was kept in attend
ance upon the business offices of that
gentleman. He was a sprightly servant
boy Of eighteen years--a bright mulatto
land by his intelligence had rendered
himself useful to the Governor in going
on errands, sweeping out the Offices. &c.
But Fred's ambition scared, and he
resolved to extend his sphere of useful.
ness. To this end he wrote himself a
pass, so worded as to authorize him to
reach free State, signed the Governors
name to it, and then attached the great
seal of the State, that it might more
etfectually wear upon its face the resem-
blance OF genuineness. Armed with this
document he found no difficulty in reach
ing Massachusetts,, where the spmpathi-
zing hand Of friendship was stretched
forth to him. Of bis subsequent career,
our informant has no knowledge, further
than that education, and the native genius
he exhibited as an Office boy in Raleigh,
has enabled him to far outstrip his
fellows, and become, perhaps. the most
intellectual colored man in the world
The gentleman who is cognizant of the
above circumstances, is now and has been
resident of Atlanta for many years.

Har The following anecdote, which
has been told Of many learned men, orig-
mated with the painter Barrett His only
pets were cat and kitten, its progeny.
A friend, seeing two holes in the bottom
of his door, asked him for what purpose
he made them there. Barrett said it
was for his cats to go in and out.
"Why," replied his friend, ''would
not one do for both I"
''You silly man." answered the painter,
chow could the big cat get into the
little hole ?" i z.
"But," said his friend, "could not the
little one go through the big hole r.

LEGIsLATING FOR LABOR.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
in an article on the value Of labor, puts
this question to the workingmen, who
solicit State laws to regulate the hours OF
labor, in order to prove that labor, is only
worth what it produces
The mechanic who builds boat, or a
table or a chair, has no difficulty in de-
termining at what price he will sell the
article, or what is its market value. But
has he a clear idea that the value of the
labor he has expended on it is precisely
regulated according to the market va ue
of the article? Ii he has that idea ne is
certainly strangely at fault in imagining
that the Legislature can change the valne
of either by law, or that he can ge as
mnch money for eight hours labor as he
can get for ten. Let him ask himself
this simple question /: Can the Legislature
by all the laws they may pass, increase
the value of ten dollar chair or hun
dred dollar boat :? Can they compel the
laboring man to pay FIVE dollars for a
tool which is worth only foury Recent
experience is enough to show the folly OF
any such idea. The whole power of a
government, aided by tremendous pres
sure of public opinion, has failed to
compel men to take paper dollar for
gold dollar, or to sell goods for the same
number of paper as gold dollars But If
the Legislature cannot make ten dollar
chair worth twelve, how can they make
eight hours labor worth as much as ten
If a chair worth ten dollars in the market
takes two days labor of ten hours each,
how can two days labor of eight hours
each on a chair produce ten dollars? We
place the statement in this simple form,
because it ought thus to be ineligible to
every laboring man, and it is important
that working men should understand the
theory which governs their labor, as it
does all other labor. \ Do the
laborers suppose that man will build as
readily when he finds that it will take
four thousand five hundred days labor at
two dollars day, as when it would take
three thousand six hundred days labor
at the same price? Or do they believe
that they will increase the Price Of build
ing without affecting the amount Of work
which will be offered them? The natural
and evitable effect can only be to stop
work.

Jones' policy which has proved of such great sat
isiacton both to his and the public, has dem
onstrated the fact, that ONE PRICE is the proper
basis on which to do BUSINESS. Many persons who
are not able to judge of the value of any article
glad to avail themselves of the opportunity of pur-
chasing where they what they want at the
same price as their neighbors. Others not liking to
ask the dealers to take less often obliged to pay
too much for article. To meet this want Jones'
