ARIsToCRATIC PRIDE.

Among all the varied forms and phases
in which pride exhibits itself to the public,
there is none more disgusting and ridiculous
than that aristocratic or dandied form which
it assumes in the persons of those who seem
to consider it an indignity to be seen labor
ing with their hands, or performing any of
the drudgeries of life. They think it above
the dignity of a gentleman, in which char
acter they would like to be considered, to
soil their delicate fingers with mean en-
pIoyment, as they would call such employ
ment as most men engage In to earn, with
honesty, their daily bread. These men of
starch and perfume, would look upon it as
an everlasting disgrace to be surprised by
their consequential acquaintances in the act
Of rolling a wheelbarrow through the streets
in the transaction of necessary business, as
the immortal Franklin used to DO through
the streets of Philadelphia, or in carrying
provisions from the market, or in tilling the
land. This foolish pride is often heavy
tax, levied upon the purse Of its possessor,
for, often do we see such a person, in order
to keep up appearances, expend his money,
and subjecting himself almost to starvation,
and to every domestic inconvenience, to
prevent his pride being mortified, and to
support his fancied dignity. Such dandied
fops are the mere insects Of society, as per.
fectly useless as the guided butterfly which
hovers about the flowers in the sunshine Of
summer, but is swept away by the cold
blasts Of autumn,

ARNOLD'S TREASON.

We extract from the address of Professor
Coppee, delivered to the graduating class of
West Point, graphic veration of the trea-
son of Benedict Arnold, which, as one of the
most impressive lessons of history, cannot
be too frequently reviewed by American
youth, or hearkened to by men of mature
years. And now, gentlemen, let me spend
the very short time allotted to me in elabo-
rating one thought of common interest to
cadets. | find the text in the words of our
immortal Washington, and few statistics
of the Revolutionary history, doubtless well
known to you all, must be given to elucidate
it. On the 22d Of September, 1880, General
Arnold returned from his interview with
Major Andrew, at and near the house of
Joshua FL EFT Smith, to Beverly, and he
made all preliminary arrangement for the
surrender Of this post, but without, as far as
is known, taking any one into his confidence
On the oath, the British we're to come up
the river and take West Point. This was
well timed, as Washington was not expected
to return from Hartford until the 26tb.
Most unexpectedly, however, he changed
his plans and returned through Duchess
county to Fishkill on the oath. He stayed
that night with the French Ambassador,
who was there, and in happy Ignorance of
the snaky treason, whose final coil was being
wound; he took saddle before dawn of the
25th, in order to reach General Arnold 5
headquarters in time to breakfast with the
General and Mrs. arnold, and then to in
spect the works at West Point.
Some soldiershad gone before with Wash
ington's baggage, to announce his purpose

NEVER TOO OLD TO LFARN.-Soerates
at an extreme age, learned to play musica
instruments
Cato, at eighty years Of age thought prop
er to learn the Greek language
Plutarch, when between seventy and eigh-
ty, commenced the study of Latin.
Becaucia was thirty-fve years of age
when he commenced his studies in light lit
erature; yet he became one of the great mas
tiers of the Tuscan dialect-Dante and Pet
rarch being the other two.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences
in his youth, but commenced the study OF
them when he was between fifty and sixty
years ofage. After this he became a most
learned antiquarian and lawyer.
Colbert, the famous French minister, at
sixty years of age returned to his Latin and
Law studies
Ludovico, at the great age of one hun
dred and fifteen, wrote the memories Of his
own times.
Ogilby, the translator of Homer and Yir-
gil, was unacquainted with Latin and Greek
until he was past the age of fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence his phil
osophical pursuits until he had reached his
fftieth year.
Accroso, a great lawyer, being asked Why
he began the study of law so late. answered,
that if indeed he began it late, he could,
therefore, master it the sooner.
Dryden in his sixty-eighth year eommen-
ced the translation of the nliad, and his
most pleasing productions were written in
his old age.

NEWSPAPER LAws.-We would call the special
attention of Post Masters and subscribers 20 the
TSQumER to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws
l. Postmaster is required to give notice BY
letter. returning paper does not answer the law
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the Office and state the reasons Tor its not being
taken; and a neglect to do so makes the Postmas-
ter repsoasibie to the publishers for the payment
2, ANY person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed to his name or another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
g. If person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount ckether Il be taken from
The office or nor. There be no legal discontin-
Rence until the payment is made.
4. IF the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for
it, II he takes Il oat Of the Post Office. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post office,
removing and having them unealed for, is
prima faeia evidence of Intentional fraud.

you are of no creed. That the Catholic and
the Protestant and all others are equally
dear to you as men Kindness and sym
pathy will reach the hearts of our people
But reyile and abuse them, and your enc
mics catch up your words, and whisper them
into every Irish ear in the land.
Let men not fatter themselves that
Catholicity in its true Interpretation is op-
posed to Republicanism and universal suff-
rage. The bishops and priests to a large
extent may be opposed to those things
This is not owing to the Church SO much as
to the fact that they are Irish and share the
prejudices and feelings common to our
race.
At the altar of God the Church makes
men equal. The most violent Copperhead
in the land, if Catholic, mnst-for the
Church says so-kneel beside the blaekest
and lowliest African, and receive the body
and blood of Christ, from the same hands.
What is this but setting the seal Of equality
before God on all men?
1t makes us sigh to behold the littleness
Of some Republicans who cramp the spirit
of their great party to suit their own small
comprehensiyeness.
The very unchaugeableness of the Irish
should induce the Republican party to put
forth all their efforts to gain them over.
They are not of those who have 70 be
coaxed to stand by principle. You cannot
drive them from you by abuse if they are
satisfied that they are right on principle
The manner in which they are insulted and
abused by the Democracy fully proves the
correctness of this assertion.
In word, the Irish are true to liberty,
as they understand it. Convince them that
they are too sectional in its application, aud
they will enlarge their action
As has often been said, the Irish are all
right at heart, but their heads are wrong.
Their hearts have been cultivated by their
kindly natures, but their heads have been

MEN WITHOUT TRADES.


In recent conversation with Doctor Glib
on, private Secretary Of Gov. Geary, we
learned curious fact concerning crime and
men without trades and professions. DIR.
Gibon has been paying particular attention
lately, to the application daily and almost
hourly made for Executive clememcy and
pardon. Those not acquainted with the
burdensome routine of Executive duty in
this respect, cannot possibly form any idea
OF the embarrassment, the narrowing solici-
tude and the overwhelming responsibility of
properly welding the pardoning power
The curious part of Dr. Gibons statement
is, that in nineteen cases out of twenty,
young conyicts are men without trades or
professions, who have been left by their pa
rents to reach maturity without having un-
dergone the discipline and the training ac-
quired while learning trade or studying a
profession. When parents or friends ap-
plying for pardon for such offenders, have
been asked why they were not taught trades
the reply has been vouchsafed- He acas
too ,ceak;," lie lcas too seasitipe, or 'sHe
thought it aoas beneath him. Too weakly,
too sensitive, too proud to learn a trade, but
not too proud to keep out of the penitentia-
ryl Of course we do not pretend to assert
that learning trade or profession is the sure
way to keep out of doing wrong. There are
great rascals among mechanics and profes-
sional men. But the man who has a trade
or profession, is always the most indepcn-
dent, and has fairer prospects at hand of
perman n success in life. And what is also
true, in this connection, in practical way,
is the lack Of skilled labor in the United
States. American boys for the last ten
years have been loath to learn trades. Too
many of them desire to WELD yard sticks in
stead Of hammers, saws and planes. The
consequence now is, that skilled labor is
scarce, and that the best places in our work
shops are filed by foreigners. BY some
kind Of teaching We must reform this evil.
There must be more encouragement for boys
to learn trades-and the mechanical voca-

ing recognized as worthy the study and the
requirement of the most intelligent and the
most favored in every community. We met
a lad day or two since from neighborine
village, who was on his way to enter one OF
the large machine shops in Philadelphia to
learn trade. He had an education to fit
him for any profession, and when he reaches
his majority he viii become the possessor Of
a competency; nevertheless, the native good
sense of the boy, backed by the practical ad.
vice of an older brother, induced him to
learn a trade, and we predict that that boy
will become man of responsibility and in
fuence in any community blessed hereafter,
with his citizenship.
Doctor Gibons observations and conclu.
sions on this subject are sound and practical.
He thinks if more boys learn trades, future

PITHoLE ANGELs.-The Tonesta Bee
gets off the following: In neighboring
village lives family who recently emigrated
from Pithole, and which contains among
other members two little girls, Annie and
Minnie, aged respectively four and eight
years. One night, a short time since, as
her mother put Annie to bed, she told her
to be good girl, go to sleep, and the an

the night. Little Annie's sleep was as
sound as the nature Of the case would adj

her bed. The next morning when her moth

conscious form of man on the lounge. His
eyes roll wildly, and every Iabored breath
sends the foam from his mouth. The moth

her heart sinks within her mind. Drunk

She would give thousand worlds, if they

God and man have upon you. Drunk Let
that never be said of you again.
