refined people brought suddenly tc
proverty! Education should beget prac.
tical facility. Too often it is mere ex.
ercise Of the brain, in which the hands
have no participation. When thrown out
of their regular callings, hundreds of peo-
pie are as helpless as ship on dry
ground The worst of it is, that nobody
can help any body who cannot help him
self. Imbecility in practical affairs leaves
one to hang like dead weight around
the neck of those who would aid him.
1t is foolish for one to say, "My child
ren will never need such manual craft !;
they are to have wealth and influential
connections" In the ever-rolling food
of society in America, nobody's children
are secure against going in their turn to
the bottom. If they can neither swim or
wade they must drown. Boys should be
educated to use their eyes and hands in
the expectation that they may some day
depend wholly on them for support.

Before he was of age he occupied high
er rank than his poor father. Not salts
lied with his meagre wages he made at
his regular employment at the mine, be
made himself handy at other kinds of
work, and in the intervals of his mining
duty he meuded the shoes of his COM
rades and their families. He then got
to making shoes, and soon learned to
make them well. His own clock having
been damaged by accident, he took it to-
pieces and repaired it, aud then added
clock and watch cleaning and repairing
to his other resources. He even cut out
the clothes of his fellow workmen, and
when all other means of doing extra
work failed, he put in his spare moments
by unloading ballast from vessels that
had come for coal This gave him money
for school, for books and for tools and

the mine clear of water, he expressed his
belief that he could set it all right in
week, and his patiently acquired know
ledge of the machine enabled him to do
it. This was the most important stroke
of his life, for it gave him acknowledged
position as mechanic, and his services
were soon in demand throughout the
whole district. Step by step he advanced,
improving everything he touched, econ
omizing the labor Of men and horses, in
creasing the amount of their production
until at last he undertook and accomplish
ed the work that he had so often tried
and that had so often failed, of superced-
ing horsepowers on the colliery railways,
By inventing locomotive engine that.
would draw heavy train over smooth
rail. The mighty results of that improve
ment We ace around US every day, but it
may be profitable lesson to trace back
once more to that patient, observant, am
bilious and indomitably Industrious boy,
watching his rude engine and studying

grown.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMATION.
By J ohm W. Geary.
Unto God our Creator, we are indebted
for life and all its blessings. 1t therefore,
becomes Us at all times to render unto
Him the homage of grateful hearts, and
in the performance of our sacred duties to
set special periods to enter into His gates

with praise. For this purpose, and in
accordance with established custom, /
have designated Thursday, the twenty
sixth day of November next, and | re-
commend that the people of this Common
wealth en- that day refrain from their
usual ayocation and pursuits, and assem-
bic at their chosen places of worship to
praise the name Of God and magnify Him
with Thanksgiving, devoutly to acknowl-
edge their dependence and lay upon His
altars the cheerful offerings of grateful
hearts.
Let US thank him with Christian humi-
lity for health and prosperity, abundant
harvest, the protection of commerce, and
the advancement of scientific, mercantile
aud manufa cturing interests. Our pro-
gress in education, morality, virtue and
social order, the increase of our material
wealth, exemption from pestilence and
contagious diseases, and the destructive
influences of war, for having blessed US
as people and nation, and opened be-
fore us the brightest prospects for the
future, and for all other blessings, both
temporal and spiritual, with sure reliance
upon Divine favor; let US pray for the
forgiveness of our sins, making public
confession of our dependence, that we
may continue worthy of His parentage,
love and protecting care: that our civil

, and that our paths through life may be
directed by the example and instructions
t of the Redeemer who died that we might
enjoy all the blessings which temporarily
flow therefrom, and etarual life in the

A Fine Reply.

The Glouchester Telegraph says that
one of the oldest citizens in West parish
remembers the visit that George Wash
ington made to Ipswich during his Presi-
Dental tour Parson Cleveland, of Essex
a patriotic chaplain of the Revolution
was among those who went to speak to
General Washington, and approached him
with his cooked hat under his arm.
"Put on your hat, parson," said the
General, "and 1 will shake hands with
you"
The person replied that he could not
wear his hat in the Generals presence,
when he thought what he had done for
his country.
"You did as much as did," said the
General.
"No no % replied the person.
"Yes," said the General; "you did
what you could, and I've done no more"

People Will Talk.

We may go through the world, but twill be We
ry slow,
If we listen to all that is said as We go;
Well be worried and fretted and kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have some
thing to do
For people will talk, &c.
If quiet, and modest, twill then be presumed,
That your humble position is only assumed ;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're
a fool
But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk, &c.
If generous and noble they'll vent out their
spleen.
You'll hear some loud hints that your selfish
and mean;
If upright and honest, and fair as the day,
They'll call you rogue in a sly sneaking
way,
For people will talk, &c.
Then if you show the least boldness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They'll call you an upstart, conceited and vain,
But keep straight ahead don'tstop to explain,
For people will talk, &c.
If threadbare your coat, or old fashion your
dress
Some one of course viii take notice of this,
And hint rather close that you can't pay your
way,
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk, &C.
If YOU dress in the fashion, don't think to es-
cape,
For they criticise these in far different
shape:
You're ahead of your means, or your bills are
unpaid,
But mind your own business and keep straight
ahead,
For people will talk, &c.
They'll talk fine before you, but then at your
back
Ofvenom and falsehood there's never lack
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter as gall when you're out of the way
For people will talk, &c.
Brother, take my advice, and do as you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then
be at ease;
OF course you Will meet with all sorts of abuse,
But don't think to stop them, it amt any use
For people will talk, &c.

But let scandal, and evil, like the wind pass
you by,
For there is always enough standing ready TO

The Uuited States District Judge in
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, made an
important decision the other day touching
bankrupts. His decision in effect was,
that real estate could not be set aside for
the temporary support of bankrupt
under the provisions of the act relating
to exemptions but that money might be
so appropriated, in cases where the
"articles and necessaries" specially desig
mated in the act did not amount to the
specified sum of $500; and if necessary
to take land for this purpose, it must be
advertised and sold at public auction anC
turned into cash.

While laborers were demolishing an
old building in Twenty y-seventh street,
New York, on Tuesday, they discovered,
in an old rats nest, a roll of bills amount
ing to $3.50. Eight years ago the money
was lost, and youthful clerk, then
boarding in the house, was suspected and
convicted of being the thief. His charac-
ter was thus ruined, and, giving way to
dissipation, he died on Blackwell's Island.

1iJ his office next dooi TO DIR. S.
Walton. where he is fully prepared to treat
the natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-
tibIe artificial teeth on pivot and plate, in tue
latest and most improved manner. Most
persons know the danger and folly Of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
the travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience a person may have, he is
liable to have some failures out of number
of cases, and if the dentist lives at distance
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
gave the tooth or teeth as it may be, othe r
wise the inconvenience and trouble of going
so far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of dentist near home. All work
warranted.
