were.d that the pen Is nightier than the
sword: reasouing mesaphoric.lly, the
statement i true. But the hammer Is more
powerful than either, BY the aryumcn'
that deeds are more ccscnt than words
The pen inspires mankind to great effort.
By the gaoving words proceeding from it
TAe svord Aseks and carvs brilliant
name Tor him who wiclds il; bat before ii
advance, the nations Of the world shrink
back in dread and the women and chill
drcd cover in fear. By the light Of the
bursting shell, or the glare Of dwellings in
flames, it stands out and CLEANS balcfully
against the sky, and only over human an
guish and agony does it stride to triumph
and renown.
Who ever feared the hammer or its
deeds? Those who rush along the iron
roads of the land-they who plow the wa
tiers of the river or the ocean--these ex-
perience the triumphs Of the hammer,
know we'll its power and how indispensable
it is. The pen may stimulate and incite
to greatness, but it cannot achieve it; the
sword bends all things to its will, but it
burns like consuming fire, and mankind
writhcs in agony before it. Only the
hammer is all powerful and peaceful. By
it thousands live and grow rich. With it
men amass wealth and build up the bull
works of the nation; hunger is kept at
bay, and famine is put to flight; peace ex-
ats her head, and hard-fstcd toll finds no
time or inclination to wreath the bow of
Mars. Thcpen bows to the hammer and does
it homage. A man may live in physical
comfort without book in the house, but
he cannot exist without being indebted to
the hammer or its equivalent. The pen

mightier than tho sword, because is

A little incident, SAYS the yick<bsry

Peace He sas duly installed. ssd Scr
months past has been playing magistrate.
In his ncighborhood lives very worthy
old negro named Billy Hough- Billy
owned two mules, and Last year to enable
him to plant, he gave bill of sale Of the
mules to Col b., who supplied him with
stipulated amonnt of supplies. Billy, with
every one engaged in planting last year,
met with a total failure. His employees
were to great extent unpaid, and the
claim Of Col. Il. was unsatisicd; but
knowing Billy to he perfectly honest. tho
Col. permitted him to use the mules in
making crop this year. A few days ago
our colored Scion Of magistrate attached
the mules in favor Of Billy's hands and the
mules were sold. Col. b. being appriscd
of this, recovered the mules by the usual
legal process. This so incensed the ebon
dispenser of justice that he arrested Billy,
chained him for two days and nights in
front of his door to tree, and refused to
give him for that period, either food or
water. He finally released him on condi-
ton that Billy pay him five dollars in cash.
This was readily performed soon as the
prisoner was released. A few days after,
he had Billy re-arrested, forced him through
fear of being again chained, to give him
five dollars, and give him a pledge for ono
hundred pounds of cotton to be paid as
soon as picked. All this action, it will
be remembered, was in the collection Of q
debt in civil case. No use for militia
ry commission where this negro rules.

and informed the proprietor that his occu-

desired to get bosom pin emblcmatic CT

didn't they put a saw in it? 1t is first

thcre-what does that stand for?"
The jcwe!er didn't know.
The man studied it carefully for mo-
ment, and a bright idea struck him. His
face flushed as if he had made a discovery.
II have it," he said; sits all right; it
stands for gimlet. Compass, square and

There was a touch of sadness in his

DOMESTIC HApPINEss.-Theg great end
ofprudence is to give choerfulness tothose
hours which splendor cannot exhilerate.
Those soft intervals Of unbendcd amuse-
ment, in which man shrinks to his ma
tural dimensions, and throws aside the Or
naments and disguiscs which he feels in
privacy to be useless encumbrances, and
to lose all effect when they become famil-
lar. To become happy at home is the ulti-
mate result of ambition, the end to which
every enterprise and labor tends, and Of
which every desire prompts the execution.
tbs, indeed, at home that every man must
be known by those who would have just
estimate Of his virtue or felicity; for smiles
and embroidery are alike occasional, and
the mind is often dressed for show in paint
ed honor and fctitions benevolence.

APHoRIsMs FROM THE TALMUD.-For
man who has been ruined by woman,
there is no law and no judge.
When the axe already touches thy neck,
still hope in Gods saving grace.
Hang the sweetest grass around apig's
neck, it will still go and wallow in the mirc.
When the jacka! has his day, make him
bow.
lie who rents one garden may cat birds !;
he who rents many, the birds will cat him.
Eat below your means, but spend on
your wife and children above your means.
First understand, then argue.
Man was created on the last day; even
the gnat has more ancient lineage.
He who throws out suspicious should
at once be suspected himself.

The mental and moral medicine which
may be distilled from lazins~ Is q say
sf vholesone kind. Its eGects upea
the body scarcely require to be described
II is to be observed, that a lazy man always
has a god appetite, for iasiscs-, recollect,
is something distinct from idlescss; il may
perhaps be defined a. unscnseious idleses-.
The man Who is idle, and knows that he Is
idle, however much he may he entitled to
his relaxation. still sees within the rcccsscs
Of his own mind the mute, perhaps half re-
proachful phantom Of the work he has
abandoned. II his idlencss be compulsory
idlcncss, of course the case is still worse.
To be truly lazy, the patient must have no
sense of obligations upon him either pres
ent or future; he must not only have made
up his mind to do nothing, but must have
forgotten for the moment that there is any,
thing anywhere to be done. A man in
this state of mind sleeps the happy sleep of
child or dog, and eats and drinks in
the same healthy and natural fashion. But
anything short of this complete self-eman-
cipation from all care, all work, and almost
all memory, will produce just the opposite
effect. 1t is not on uncommon thing to
hear men say that they are never quite
well when they are idle; that they feel in
digestion, headache, loss of appetite, Ian
guor and what not. This is because they
are only idle, not lazy. Their brains, and
their hands have ceased to work but no
moral change has come over them. The
idleness in which most men indulge is but
temporary change Of habits. The idle
ness which is lazincss involves temporary
change Of character. We once heard a
man say that the greatest triumph that
could be achieved in dancing u quadrille,
was not only to be able to say nothing to
your partner with perfect satisfaction to
yourself, but also to be able to look us if
you wanted to say nothing. So in laziness,
it must be complete all round. You must
not only be able to abstain from work cheer
fally, you must be in such state as to
convey to all who see you that you never
even heard of work that you are good
tor-nothing fellow, supported perhaps, by
the bounty of your relations; man Of
whom people say, "Thc great hulkins lazy
fellow, I'd let him go to the workhouse be-
fore I'd keep him." When You have once
attained to that pitch of perfection in the
art of doing nothing, you are entitled to
call yourself lazy and may expect all the
benefits we have predicted from that estate,
but not till then. Is not what We say
borne out even by medical statistics! In
the eighteenth century, when good "Old
Leisure" was king, was not indigestion an
almost unknown malady in spite Of the
beer, port, punch, beef, plum-pudding,
late suppcrs and heavy breakfasts in which
his subject reveled." But the best author
ity on the subject is Solomon. Hear his
dictum: "For wisdom cometh by oppor-
tunity of leisure, and he that hath little
business shall become WISE"
