JOSH BILLINGS ON GRAssHoPPERs.-
The following, from the pen Of the fun
uiest writer of the day, will ft in any
grasshopper'd locality-east or west of
us-we never have 'em out here in the
center Of the desert, that is, they don't
mature and generally die from debility
and want Of breath. Why this is thus
so muchly, WI can't really tell, but sup
pose 1t is attributable to the strength Of
the alkali /: The Bible SEE 1.-THE grass
hopper is a burden" and never knu
the Bible tew say anything that wasn't
SO. When the %grasshopper begins to
live they are very small, but in u little
while there gets to be plenty of them.
They only live n year at once, and
then 20 back and begin again. Their
best gait is a hop, and with the wind on
their quarters they can make some good
time. They are a sure crop to raise,
but some years they raise moro than
others. I have seen some fields so full
Of them that you couldn't stick another
g%rasshopper 10 unless you sharpened
him to q pint. When they get so very
plenty they are very apt to start, and
then they become q travelin famine, and
leave the road they take as barren as
the inside of a country church during q
week day. Grasshoppers don't seem to
be actually necessary for our happiness,
but they may be-we don't even know
what we want most. l don't want grass
hoppers entirely out, not if they are a
blessing, but l have thought Ito myself)
if they would let grass and cornstalks
be and pitch into the burdocks and Can
ada tbistles, just to encourage the fight,
l wouldn't care a cuss If they both got
finally licked. But my best judgment
would DO to bet On the grasshoppers.

THE instruction Of idiots has been
brought to a high state Of perfection at
the Earlswood (Eug.) Asylum. At this
establishment the inmates are to be
found at work at various trades ; house.
hold aud laundry work, mat-weaying,
farming, gardening, carpentering, tail
oring, plumbing, and basket making

Of a carpenter is q favorite, and that Of
a boot and shoemaker comes next. OF
the 1874 boys NOW in the asylum, 10 can
speak fairly, 40 eau speak indistinctly,
27 can speak a few sounds Gully, and II
cannot speak at all. Out Of tho same
number az can read, Is can read by spell
ling the words, 26 know nearly all the
letters, 40 know q few letters, and 46
no letters at all. Twenty-six only can
write a sentence ; % can write easy
words i; 20 eau make a few letters ; So

TEE P~EASErs.-To the close analogies
which already unite the planets of our
system, a new and important character
has just been added. All these planets
form accordingly but n family; they
~revolve around the same central body,
giving them heat and light. They have
each o year, seasons, IN atmosphere,
aud on many Of the planets clouds have
been observed in these atmospheres.
Finally, ,cater, which plays so important
g part in oil organized beings, is also
an element common to the planets.
These are powerful reasons to think that
LIE is no exclusive privilege Of our earth,
the younger sister in the great planetary
family.

PoLITESEss goes u great ways-some-
times too far. The fellow who run.
against a lamp-post last night about II
o'clock, and spent ten minutes in
making on apology, expended a great
deal of material that might have been
bestowed upon a more fit object-some
of his lady friends, for instance. Tipsy
people doing the polite to their own
shadows is also q proftless waste Of
what might otherwise be a good invest
ment. But politeness within bounds is
one OF the great virtues and ornaments
of life. II is the rosy link which con-
meets men and women is the best
ner, and distinguishes the lady and
gentleman.

THE PUBLIC DEBT AND THE
FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.

Chief Justice Chase, who has lately
been sitting in the United States Circuit
Court for the Western District of Viz
GINA, at Parkersburg, has, in his charge
to the Grand Jury of that District, made
some observations in relation to the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition, and its effect, which are impor-
tant, coming from the highest judicial
officer in the United States, speaking in
an official capacity, and also in relation
to the public debt. We subjoin some
extracts:
The war in which the nation has been re-
Gently engaged for the preservation OF the
national Union and governments endangered
BY rebellion, made the contracting Of a large
debt inevitable. This debt is the price Of
our national existence, and binds irrevocably
the good faith Of our people. Its inyiolable
Obligation has been recognized by q solemn
act Of the nation in adopting the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution Of the United
States, which declares that the validity Of

BEAUTIFUL

Leaf by leaf the roscs fall,
Drop by drop the spring runs dry;
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the springs will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain
And the summer sun and dew.
So In hours OF deepest gloom,
When the springs Of gladncss fall
And the roses In the bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale;
We shall find some hope that lies
Like q silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden Of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring affesh and new,
When grief's winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes OF spring.
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for Its blossoming,
In the spirits glorious cline.
