what Breaks Down Young EIen.

I It isa commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element of
college life. But from tables of the NOR
tally of Harvard University collected by
Professor Pierce from the last triennial
catalogue, 1T is clearly demonstrated that
the excess of deaths for the first ten years
after graduation is found In that portion of
each class inferior in scholarship. Every
one who has been through the curriculum
knows that where Eschuylus and political
economy injure one, late hours and rum
punches use up..a dozen and that the two
little fingers of Morpheus are heavier than
the loins of Euclid. Dissipation is swift
and sure destroyer, and every young man
who follows it is as the early flower ex-
posed to untimely frost. Those who have
been inveigled in the path Of vice are
named LEGION" for they are many
enough to convince every novitiate that
he has no security that he shall escape
similar fate. A few hours of sleep each
night, high living and plenty of "snashes"
make war upon every function of the hui
man body. The bratns, the heart, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs, the
bones, the fesh--every part and faculty..
are overtasked, worn andsweakened by the
terrific energy of passion and appetite
loosed from restraint, until, like daiapi-
dated mansion, the " earthly house OF TINS
tabernacle falls into ruinous decay. Fast
young men, right about!

Grant In the WAR Office.

Gen. Farnsworth in his late speech at
Philadelphia likened the Democracy to a
sneak thief. He said that the ,ineanest
of Its mean acts was the stealing of An
drew Johnson" and the most presumptu-
GUS of Its attempts was its public effort to
steal General Grant. Concerning this he
said: 4 III g.T,FyzrY nC0rr ''.A.

issue contrary order, and lay his mailed
hand upon the shoulder of Andrew John
son. Intense and long coutinued cheering

Am Interesting "Reminiscences of
@S4' .BOhn BrOyvn.

A correspondent Of the New York CON-
neercSdl Ad0ertiser, writing from the Cat
skill Mountain House, gives the following
"Reminiscences of old John Brown:
During the visit on Monday, Rev. New
man Hall was mere inquisitive in regard
to John Brown than concerning any body
of this country. He holds to the notion
that John Brown had more to do than any
one man with bringing "the irrepressible
conflict to decisive crisis. He seemed
to think 1t strange that he was execut-
ed-strange that he was not rescued before
execution. There happened to be at the
Mountain House gentleman who had
known John Brown, many years ago, and
who told this anecdote; when was a
young man." the gentleman, in substance,
said, "Iwas brought into certain business
relations with John Brown. The first
meeting with him l shall never forget.
We came together at dinner at the same
farm house. I had been taking lessons In
scientific boxing, and prided myself on my
skill in the noble art of pugilism. John
Brown came to the table, "a plain, rough
man, quiet Of speech, without q coat, and
with shirt sleeves rolled up, showing a
brawny arm. 1t occurred to me that here

with the fellow. alluded to the vulgarity
of coming to thetable in ones shirt sleeves.

but falling to provoke my quiet victim into
any excitement, finally challenged him
for an outright fight with our fists. Prompt
ly he accepted my challenge, and added
Young man, there is no better time for
anything than now let us go into the
back yard and have it OUT 0z7eI
SO we went, and 1 had just posed myself
in the best pugilistic attitude for either de-.
fence or offence, and was thinking. "What
an admirable attitude i have, and 1t won't
be long before I get in a blow which will
settle this man. when something struck
me between the eyes, which Lad just the
merest point of time to think was the
blunt end Of an iron pump handle. The.
next I was conscious of was an effort to
open my eyes, and I found myself support
ed on the arm of brown-faced man, with
his sleeves rolled up, who said, "My friend,
the best thing to BE- done for this is to lay

is interesting "Since the ordaining and
establishing Of the Constitution of the

dents became by accident, the Chief Mag
istrates of the Union--John Tyler, Millald
Fillmore and Andrew johnson. All three
are disgrace to their country, but none
more so than the present incumbent An

win certainly choose their Vice-P residents
with as much care as their Presidents. If
Andrew johnson, as was undoubtedly his
duty, had called Congress to an extra ses-

ted the acts of that body faithfully, the
Union would have been easily reconstruct

have submitted to all the conditions under

not merely against his own country, but
against humanity at large. This enemy OF
his country should, and must be punished.
