''THE RICHEST Boy In AMERICA. r.
The son of Joshua Sears, of Boston,
who died ten years ago. is popularity
supposed to be the richest boy in the
United States. He is fourteen years OF
age. The father, whose property was
valued at 81 600. 900, after bequeathiug
small sums to his relatives, provided
that his son should have $500 an
nually until attaining the age Of q the
sum of $50, 900 at that ptriod 81, 600
annually until be had passed the age of
"a Sc, 900 annually until he has passed
the age of 80, and $4,000 per annum
after that time Young Sears is well
provided for, to say the last but he is
not, perhaps, the richest young man in
America, as is commonly supposed
''Thus muco money shalt thou have,
and no more, seems to have been the
intention of the rich father, who know
the value OF money, and felt content to
bequeath the Young man sufficient to
give him good education, and funds
enough to commence business with in
shape seven years hence. The property
remains in the hands of three trustees,
and the simple interest on the original
amount, added to the principal has
reached the sum of $3,300,00O, while
the assessed value of the real estate
bringing this sum is valued at 500, 900,
900. The trustees have salary of SIS,
900 each, and the commissions received
from the collections of rents amounts
to sum equal to the salary of the
President of the United States. Young
Sears is now in Europe, whore he is
fitting himself for the active duties OF
life.

Democrats seem determined to re
peat the story that General Grant is at
variance with prominent Republicans
until it receives credit. Few state
ments more sensationally false have
been sent to the country in long time
The very reverse Of all these stories is
true. Those Republicans who are in a
position to converse freely with the
President elect avow themselves per-
fectly satisfied with his views and thor
oughly convinced that rigid economy
will mark his administration, and that
a complete reform will be Immediately
instituted in the civil service. He has
expressed himself to friends as believ-
ing that it is best for the interests Of
the country, that each new Congress
should meet and organize on the day
on which the preceding one expires. =
He is therefore opposed to repeating
present laws regulating the assembling
Congress.

Miss Laura Reno, the sister of the
victims of the New-Albany assassina-
ton, who was in the city yesterday, is
described by those we'll acquainted by
with her as u young woman of remark
able beauty and accomplishments. 1t
is also said that she possesses a large
part of the brains of the family, which,
added to an infieXible will an intense
desire for revenge, will sooner or later
bring ruin or death upon some of the
murderers of her brothers. At their
funeral at Seymour, a few days ago,
the attendance was large, and, among
other persons, resident of Seymour
dropped in. He had scarcely made his
appeance when Miss Reno rose from
her seat and, walking across the room,
fercely told him that that was no place
for him, that she recognized in him
one of the murdarers of her brother,
and if he did not leave Immediately it
would be worse for him. Unless
great mistake has been made in the es-
timation of Laura Reno's character,
the Jackson County Regulators will
find that the oath of revenge which
she took over the dead body of Frank
Reno was no mere empty threat, to be
forgotten in an hour, but promise of
terrible meaning.

OPERATIONS OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. ePi IL
adelphia penitentiary being an institution design
ed for separate or solitary confinement there are
no large machine or workshops, no factories, no
moving gangs of workmen convicts. The labor
is all performed in the cells. Those engaged IN
chairmaking, shoemaking, weaving, joh'ing, or
what not, work in their own cells-eat there,
drink there, sleep there. They never move ont Of
them. Their days labor over, the dirt, scraps
and shavings are swept in arrels or baskets, and
removed by carriers. OF the poor fellows them
selves you see nothing. Outside workman are en-
poyed to do whatever is required about the place.
The prisoners are sedulcusly secluded in their
rooms, and the visitor is not permitted even 10
view them. They are shut off from the oEtside
world as completely as if dead Their very names
are obliterated they are known only by numbers.
That is the extent of their individuality OF rel
atves or friends they see but little. Once in n
period of three months an inspector pass admits
a wife or mother to a conference with her Grim
inal though loved one and even then such are the
precautions of the prison dcipline, that they meet
and talk only through the bars ofa ce-door, and
in the presence of an officer Of the instipti, II.
Poor satisfaction for the lips that moisten for
kiss, FOR the heart that ycarninGly throbs for an
embrace Fifteen or twenty minutes also Is the
brief time allowed for the meeting. There arr IN
the institution Mt the present time somewhat over
coo convicts.

chaugeably the same. | might utterly fail and
come to nothing, if left to myself; but cannot
be so left TO myself for the Spirit of Truth hath
said, 4 will never leave thee, nor forsake thee
He will renew my strength, either by changing
my weakness into strength, or by enduring me
with His own power He is wise to see and pro-
vide for all my dangers He is rich to relieve
and succor me in all my wants. He is gracious
to hear and to answer all my prayers he is om-
nipoteut to deliver and defend me from all my
enemies He is faithful to perfect and perform
all His own promises He is eternal and immor-
tai, to bless my poor depending soul with eternal
blessedness and immortality. Oh, what a great
and glorious Saviour for such mean and worth

ly indulgent Friend for such base and insignif-
icant rebel What, what am |, when | compare
myself and all am of myself with what can
conceive of my God, and Of what He hath kindly
promised even to me ! What mystery am to
myself, to angles, to men A worm of earth to
be like star of heaven corruptible sinner to

child an outlaw to become an heir OBSERVER
of hell to become an inheritor of heaven strong
hold of the devil to be changed into temple OF

Christ, a possessor of His Spirit, and of all His
honor, happiness, and glory for evermore; and
all without any right to any one thing on my
part but the miseries of a lowest bell Oh, what
manner and what matter, of love is this ! Lord,

no more and would render Thee no less. -

RIGOROUS ApPRENTIcEsHIP.-Few persons have
looked into the lives of so many remarkable men
as have, yet cannot call to mind one of the ac-
knowledged kings of business who did notin early
life serve long, rigorous apprenticeship to some
occupation akin to that which he afterward exer-
cised, and in which his great success was made.
All my acquaintance with business men teaches
me that the fundamental secret of success is know-
edge-reaS knowledge-such knowledge as is on
ly practically acquired by becoming practically
familiar with methods and processes-such knowl-
edge, in iact as man gets by taking hold of
work, and doing il until he can do it easily and
perfectly. should be sorry to say anything to
disparage our institutions oflearning. Neverthe-
less, feel confident that an intelligent youth,
who remains at school until he is sixteen or seven
teen, and tten apprentices himselfto good trade
can get better education out of his shop with
an hours study of principles in the EVENING" than
it is possible to get in any college in existence
that is to say, better education for This new and
forming country, where, for at least fifty years to
come, no man can hope to play leading part,
except in welding material forces.

FUTURE PUNIsHMENT.-Let the fairest star be
selected, like beauteous island in the vast and
shoreess sea of the azure heavens, as the future
home of the criminals from the earth, and letthem
possess whatever they must love, and all that it is
possible for God to bestow; let them be endowed
with undying bodies, and with minds which shall
forever retain their intellectual powers; let no
Saviour ever press his claims upon them no God
reveal himself to them, no Sabbath ever dawn
upon them, no saint ever live among them, no
PRAYER ever be heard within their borders but
let society exist there forever smiten only by the
leprosy of hatred TO God and with utter selfish
ness as its all prevailing and eternal purpose
then, as sure as the laws ofrghteousness exist on
which rests the throne Of God and the govern
ment of the universe, society so constituted must
work out for itself hell of solitary and bitter
suffering, to which there is no limit except the
capacity of finite nature Alas the spirit that
is without love to Its God or Its neighbor, is
already possessed by power which must at last ISL
create for its own self-torment a worm that VIII
never die, and a fire that can never more be
