''0WEs NE A LIVING, 1t is among
men who try to get living by some shift or
trick of laziness that we hear the familiar
wards, THE word owes me living" A
loafer who never did a useful thing in his
life, who dresses at the expense ofthe tailor,
and drinks at the cost of his friends, always
insists that the world owes him living,
and declares his intention to secure the debt.
| should like to know how it is that a man
who owes the world for every mouthful he

world owes him nothing bnt very rough

those who are not able to enrn one-to chill
dren, to the sick, to the disabled and the
aged-to allwho, in the course of nature by
force of circumstances, are dependent; and
it was mainly for the supply Of the wants of
these that men were endowed with the
power 10 produce more than enough for

| The Liberty Texas Gazette publishes
the following marvellous story: In the
Grand Cane neighborhooi In this county
a short time ago, a gentleman in the depths
Of the forest suddenly cane upon a woman
as wild and almost as fleet as an untamed
deer. After a brisk chase Of some distance
the gentleman on horseback overlook the
wonderful creature, when she halted, and
he found her to be a medium sized, middle
aged, well formed woman, with long, dark
hair, and clear blue eyes She was in a
state Of nudity save g.rdle Of gray moss
about her loins Her bCdy and limbs were
covered with a beautiful coat of hair about
four inches long. She vas much frightened
and seemed unable to talk but must have
com pretended signs, asin reply to motions
Of the gentleman by which he sought to in
ducc her to accompany aim out OF the wood
She constantly pointed to her own forest
home Finally, the gentleman endeavored
to compel her TO 90 the way he desired by
getting before her, and by threatening ges-
lures with his gun, and she becoming enra-
ged seized club, and turned upon him
with the fury of demon, and it was only
bY the speed impaired TO his steed by a
liberal use of the spurs that he kept out of
her way After driving of her pursuer,
she resumed the direction she had so con-
stantly pointed, and was soon out Of sight
The gentleman followed, and after going
some distance, came upOnher home. Three
trees standing near each oher, in a triangu-
lar form, with the spaces between them wal
led UP with brush and moss, made her moss
bed between them secure from the rude
blasts of winter, and comparatively secure
from the pitiless rain. The only stores that
we're discovered were few nuts and some
four or five bushels of aDrns. Very wild
stories Of this wild woman have been rife in
the upper part of the county for some time,
but she was believed to be myth by all ex-
eept those who claimed tc have had Gimp
ses of her. Now, however, her existence,
description, and the vicinity at least Of her
whereabouts, are established beyond con
troversy Her early capture may be regar-
ded as within the range Of probability, as
concentrated efforts are being made to that
end.

A PORTLAND Me- paper tells story of
a countryman why was coming from that
place to Boston on one of the steamers, and
who met with a curious accident. The yes
sells, it seems, had fire annihilators placed
around in convenient spots. The gentle
man from the interior became thirsty, eyed
an annihilator for some time and evidently
concluded it was a new tangled drinking ar
rangement, and was not going to show his
greenness by asking about it. So he step
ped up smartly, put the nozzle in his mouth
and turned it on The effect was instanta-
neous and stupendous! The countryman
was knocked sprawling some ten feet away.
The shock to his internal organization must
have been something tremendous, for he
remained senseless and speechless for some
time. When he sufficiently recovered to
articulate, he wanted to know if ''the biler
had burst?"

ovERwoRK AND UNDER-REsT.

There is nothing better understood than
that an overtasked brain viii speedily lose
its power, if, indeed, it be not driven to a
tatal congestion. We no longer err through
ignorance. A clergyman, for instance. knows
perfectly well if he devotes his nights to
writing sermons, instead of sleeping. that
very soon he viii ask his congregation for
permission to 20 to Europe. Still he keeps
his unreasonable work, and makes it a mat
ter of conscience to commit a long and de-
liberate suicide. It'll asserted, upon the
strength OF a post-mortem examination, that
the late much lamented Governor Andrew,
a public man, whose life was of the greatest
Importance to the whole country, was really
killed by hard work
1t is painful to speak with any thing like
eensure Of a career SO selfdeVoted, especial
ly when we consider that Gov Andrew knew
nertectly. well the terrible risk which he
was running. When he gave himself 10 the
cause of the republic, he just as literally
took his life in his hand as if he had volun-
teered to lead folorn hope upon the field
of battle. Was this sacrifice necessary?
Was it wise or PRUDENT Here was a man
OF extraordinary capacity for public affairs;
here was life Of uncommon value to the
community; here was that rarityin history,
an able man with an educated conscience;
here was one'who might make mistakes, and
who did make them, but who was utterly
incapable Of any act of deliberate selfshness,
and Just in the maturity of his powers, lust
when he had trained himself to fIl higher
posts in the public service, he is suddenly
called away AT this exigent moment, (" to
borrow the language of Burke, the loss Of
a finished man is not easily supplied. f"
Whoever undertakes todo the work Of five
days in one, will be sure either to kill himself
or to do his work badly. In either case,
nothing is gained by excessive and un-
reasonably prolonged application; yet this is
a truth universally disregarded by students
and public men. The President of Col
lege makes fine speech to the Freshmen;
he tells them that they must properly re-
gard the laws of health; that night study is
worse than no study at all; that dyspepsia is
the bane of our colleges; and it turns out
upon inquiry that this excellent President
is in the habit ofreading Hebrew for half
the night, and is himself wretched victim
Of chronic Indigestion, has something the
matter with his head, is growing deaf, or
growing blind, smokes more tobacco than is
good for him, and will certainly be obliged
to go to Italy by advice of the family doctor,
unless Divine Providence works a special
miracle, which it is not at all likely to do.

A sensible letter from Washington con-
corning Mr.. Dickens visit to the United
States appears in the Pail Mall Gazette.
The writer says:
"0n his arrival in Boston Mr. Dickens
found himself in a literary society which
had sprung up since his earlier, visit, and
as he has passed through the great cities he
has moved among a people to whom live
author is no longer asurprise or curiosity
He has produced no commotion By his walks
along Broadway, Washington street OF
Pennsylvania avenue, but he has been
thrown upon his merits as a writer and
reader. He has in this manner been ena-
bled to observe American society under cir
cumstanees far more favorable than those
amid which his first American Notes
we're taken, and We may apprehend that
the new conditions of the country are likely
to furnish him with subjects suggestive Of
something more than spicy caricature. The
Joah0Dlc with which he has been received
is itself characteristic Of the growth Of the
American mind, showing as 1t does that Its
young and morbid sensltlyeness to ridicule
has in a great measure disappeared II
must be admitted, in the light of what all
now know to have been then in America,
that Mr.. Dickens's work on this country
was calculated to produce irritation, not so
much by what it observed as what 1t did
not observe, the caricatures being almost
entirely unbalanced by any recognition OF
the serious and important traits of Ameri-
can life and character 1t is not wonderful
that he should feel himself somewhat en-
barrassed personally, as person might who
finds himself incurring the obligations of a
guest to a man whom he had once held up
to ridicule. | am not surprised, therefore,
to hear Of his preferring to be entertained
by English residents here.
Cone of the chief counts of the Indictment
against England, as it stands in the Ameri-
can mind, is that during their late struggle
the literary men of that country, they who
mainly represent to Americans all its at
fractions. were either hostile or indifferent
to their cause. 1t would probably have en-
.irely altered the complexion of Mr.. Dick
ems visit, could he have pointed to any
expressions Of sympathy written or uttered
by him for America during her late strug-
gle. Asit is, he is generally understood to
have shared in the the neutrality or active
Southern sympathy which characterized the
attitude of many among the higher classes
in England. All these causes have proba-
bly conspired to disappoint the hopes that
had been held out of an influence from the
visit favorable to more fraternal feeling
between the United States and Great Brit.

WHO ARE THE USEFUL MEN.

In buildlng, the superstructure attracts
the eye-the foundation is hidden. A tree :
leaf makes more noise than its trunk and
the roots are all concealed beneath the
ground Yet the tree shakes off its leaves
each autumn Butt holds its roots forever.
and even bares itself of foliage when win
ter comes, IN order that the roots NAV be
covered, and nurtured below, and so glorify
its Maker and itself in the future Spring.
So in society. 1t is nos the apparently
great men, doing public things who bless
the world. Not many succeed in attracting
attention and applause Men do not all run
to leaf, merely to get up that green thipness
which rustles for a summer, and then crisps
and falls to the ground as a mere uurturer
OF the strong, but modest roots below, that
1--we and grow through all the years.
1t Is no evidence of real greatness to get
INTO high elevations, to work on the public
platforms, into legislatures, into pulpits, or
even to the Presidential chair. Gods uni
versal plan is to keep the individual humble
that he may, be useful and happy Each
one Is made Tor all. Yet every SOULS great
er creation than sun. You are appointed
there, yonder, somebody else between. or
beyond, and each one of US must bear his
Own accountability, living and working ac-
cordlng to our chances, doing everything for
a purpose-man' general good and Gods
special glory. Every individual in the race
is free agent, and in religion as well as in
all other relations should be recognized as
a unit, equal in will and right to every
other. There is Methodism in Christianity
that votes and works with a purpose, not to
glorify men by making them lords over
God S heritage but rather to honor their
individuality, and prompt them to discharge
every duty as it defines itself to Gods glory
and not to mans.

GooD Things. Mutuaities are good
very good to have about the house, good
about business, good in the street, good in
the wide, wide world. Ii is only another
putting of the golden rule. There are some
whose idea ofthis golden rule is to get
gold. Nothing of course could be more per
Terted. Helping one another is the kindest
and best sort of help there is in the world.
It is the kind everybody should keep. To
be mutually courteous, kind, considerate,
Just, is to create little heaven on earth,
of which everybody is the center and mon
arch. Nice thing, that, the reader says,
and adds, People viii see it, but won't do
it. All the worse for them. We toss up
the hint, which they may catch or not, as
they please.

the impeachment question-those for it, and
those against it. Who are for it?
The whole Republican party North and
South including hundreds and thousands Of
former Democrats, and niue-tenths of the
soldiers who fought against the rebel armies
Of Beauregard and Lee. The widows and
orphans of every union soldier pleed for it,
all the great sanitary and benevolent organi-
cations during the war plead for it; the
manumitted millions Of the South plead for
it; the laboring millions of the North and
West plead for it; the hundreds and thou
sands interested in the National Debt plead
for it; every friend Of a speedy return to
specie payments pleads for it; every advo-
cate of new continental railroads pleads for
it; every friend of Freedom throughout the
world watches its progress as the last trial
of a great and second time betrayed people
Who, then, are those who are opposed to

The whole Rebel army vanquished By
Grant and Sherman; all the sympathizers
with treason in the North; all the enemies
Of the draft; all the enemies of the National

THRIVE SLowLY.-It is dangerous for a
man to grow rich and strong faster than be
grows good. / do not think il is wise to
grow rich too fast, at any rate. | do not
mean to say that there may not be men Of
such stature that they can grow rich rapidly
without being hurt by their riches; but
generally God makes the road to wealth one
of care, so that the process is one Of educa-
ton, and so that, when man had attained
his competence, he has gone through that
which is a strengthener stitfener, and which
prevents bis being much Injured by it. But
when men come into the possession of wealth
without having earned it, they are apt to be
injured by it, because they have not receiv-
ed that education which is necessary to ena-
bic them to administer it properly.
