Some things may be said in favor ~
of boys; some trades would not live
without them. The glass-put-in-men
woEldn't have much to do, and putty B
would be on the decline, if there were
no boys to break the windows. .l.lrs
There would be no customers for
the cast-iron peaches and green apples
which come early in the seasons for
the boys, the doctors wouldn't have
so much to do in curing cases of chol-
cry morbus, arising therefrom. 3sa gqs
Bows can be useful when they have
a mind to, and can sell newspapers,

In printing offices the boys are
known as devils-printerr hayeoali
plain way of speaking.
Boys individually are better than
boys collectively.
Ifthere were. only only one boy iii
the world, thiuk he would be good
boy :; it generally takes at least two :
boys to get up any mischief.
Have one boy in store and you
can have him useful. 81" ma 'Ea4I'.'
Hire second boy, and their time
will be chiefly devoted to chasing one
another over the counter, and firing &u
the dust brush and directory at each
others heads. dii HeaoLinsa
A boy begins to be a nuisance when
he is eight years old. How soon he
grows out of it depends upon ,circnm-
stances, Some never do. ~. 457,i .f,7
f. 1t is questionable whether boys lead
an enjoyable existence. They take q
great deal of fun at other peoples ex-
pense, but have almost always got
grievances, They would like to have
their OWE way little more, and a
pretty way it would be.
| Give boy chance of all the. occu-
pations in life and the chances arc that
he would prefer either to be Robin
son Crusoe on a desert island, or
captain of a band of robbers, such as
I he has read about, and seriously
thinks of going into one or the other
of these desirable occupations when
he gets to be man. He has great re-
spect for stage driver and the Ecap-
| tain of q canal boat-there is an idea
| of command in the positions that takes
his ideas. His idea of being man is,
having plenty of money, doing what
you please, and being able to smoke
or chew tobacco without getting sick
over it. -3i-f
Somebody wrote song, "Would
were boy again." Those who had
the bringing up of him are not likely
to have the same sentiment. Raising
a boy once IS as much as any body
wants to undergo, and, fortunately,
when they once grow up they stay
grown up, and have children of their
own to affiict them.

A BUTTING MATCH.

A correspondent relates the follow
ing laughable story:
l knew a darkey once, who, unlike
most Of his race, was industrious and
economical. The result was that he
owned house and lot near little
village in Western Pennsylvania. He
soon concluded that it wouldn't do to
own. property of this kind without
keeping domestic animals on it, and
determined TO stock it. His first ac-
quisition was an old sheep of the male
persuIsfoff, which -ho lEas- -xery- proud
of. He spent many leisure moments
playing with the animal, and teac''.-,5,
it various pranks. His chief amuse-'
ment was to get down on the grass on
all fours and nod defiance at the ami
NAL. Seeing which, the latter would
make savage plunge at him, and at
tempt to try whose head was the hard
est. Ut is question: But as the
savage creature came forward like a
battering ram, darkey would incline
his head suddenly and drop his face
upon the earth. The CONSCIENCE was
that the sheep, missing his mark,
would tumble over and over for a rod
or two. One day the fellow called q
couple of passing neighbors to witness
this achievement. They came to the
fence and looked over, while he got
down on hands and knees, as usual,
and began to nod at his property. The
sheep did not seem to see him at first.
but presently raised its head from the
grass upon which it had been grazing,
and frowned upon him. .r
80 jis' watch i'm now!" said Sam
bo, in high glee.
Old Buckley made rush, as was his
wont, and Sambo suddenly dropped
his face to the ground. But, as the
fiends would have it, his fiat nose came
in contact with small sharp snag he
had not observed before, and he jerked
back just in time to receive the full
shock of the Sleeps hard head be-

was such rolling and tumbling over
and over for the next quarter of a
minute, that the neighbors could not
tell which was the sheep and which
was the darkey. They soon got sep
arated, though, and Mr.. Darkey got
slowly up, grinmed toolishly and said:
*'Pun my word, he nebber done dat
aforel Gittin' too smart for dis mig
ger! Use a agwine TO stop foolin' wild
sich fellah as dat " ~
There was plenty of mutton in 'toll
neigbborhood the next day, but that
sheep was never seen again.

A CHAPTER ON CATS.

On cats I don't go very heavy. Not
so much on account of their staying
out late nights, dispensing mourfnl
lirricks, as the habit they have of go
ing intew fits, and playing Mazeppa
on the cealing. 4''''' 5-'''i ''''' 5''-' .'''
It's very pecooliar trait of the cat,
them fits are. They don't seem to mind
them much, and alluz recover. 1 give
my old Malty cat fits while, ago, but
she didn't recover. Not herself.
i recovered her. .....-,..
1 will let you into the fax in the
case. / hung her by the neck one day
and one-half on an improvised gallus,
and then covered her over with dirt.
But l he'd only hung eight lives out of
her, and found her mex morning at
the kitchen door, waitin for her rash
uns. I strateway took her remainin
life, She is now one of the things
that vert. The feelin quire have lost
a powerful tenor, and her voice is 81

When cats are first born, they are
seeless. A CRATE many go in, .swimin
the first thing after they are born, in
an old bag as bathin habit, with a
big rock tied to it--rocked in the cra-
die of the deep, as it wer. -
Cats are mentioned by poets, as will

THE ToRTY-F1Rsr CONGRESS.

The Fortieth Congress expired by limitation of
law ON Thursday, March 4th. at noon. The closing
scenes of this remarkable body were not marked
by any unusual occurrence. In the language Of
the Speaker of the House, Mr.. PoMERoY, "their
public acts will be preserved" and we are not
quite sure that many of them will rebound to the
honor of its members. Partisanshp lliberality,
and sectional tyranny blot the record, land the
Fortieth Congress will Ee known in history as a
body of men seeking 10 enslave awhole people, in
the name of liberty!
The Forty-First Congress assembled at three
Senate were confined to calling the roll of Senator's
elect and administering the oath of office TO them,
Vice President CoLFAx in the chair. The House
proceedings were rather more spicy and interest
ing, rs pending the election of Speaker, there was
q considerable row made over the ruling of the
Clerk, who is the presiding officer during the or
gauization of the House. In calling the roll OF
members, the Clerk omitted among others the
names Of the members elect from Georgia and Lou
isiana, and thereupon Mr.. Brooks made the point
Of order that the Clerk had no right to omit them.
This point of order wa. overruled by the Clerk,
Mr. :McPHERsoN, and on an appeal being made
from this ruling he refused to entertain the aP-
peal This created great confusion and disorder
and for some time further proceedings were inter-
rupted Finally, the Clerk apologetically explain
cd his position, which satisfied Mr. Brooks and
his friends and all was serene again. On the vote
Being taken for Speaker, Mr.. JAMES &. BLAINE, OF
Maine, the Republican nominee, received lSO
votes, and Mr.. KERR, of Indiana, Democratic NOM
nee, received 81 votes, whenit was announced that
Mr.. BLAINE was duly elected Speaker of the House
Of Representatives for the .Forty-First Congress.
After en- address by the Speaker elect, the oath OF
Office vas administered to him by Mr.. WAsHBURNE,
of Illinois, the oldest member of the House. The
members were then sworn, twenty or thirty at
time, taking the oath with uplifted hands. The
House then adjourned.
Further proceedings will be found elsewhere,
and we shall endeavor to keep our readers posted
on the actings and doings Of the present Congress-
trusting for On improvement upon its predecessor.

PRESIDENT JoMNsoN's FAREWELL RECEPTION
The fare we'll reception OF President johnson at the
White House on Tues lay evening, is said to have
been one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind
seen in Washington for several years past. The
National Inteiligeaeei says:
The President occupied his usual position near
the entrance of the blue parlor, the visitors being
presented by Marshal Gooding. From until af-
ter o'clock the crowd poured through the apart
ments, and 10 each person, however humble his or
her station, President Johnson extended pleas
ant and cordial greeting Mrs. Patterson, who
stood at the right of the President, few steps
farther back in the room, was attired with custom
ary taste and elegance The ceremony of intro.
duclion was graciously performed by General
Michler. In the vast concourse assembled to pay
their respects TO the retiring Chief Magistrate were
many persons of distinction from abroad as well
as unusal number Of Washington celebrities From
Maine to Florida and from The Atlantic coast 10
the seaboard on the Pacific there was scarcely n
State or Territory that was not represented at the
farewell reception of Andrew johnson, whose
kindly grasp and sincere smile called forth many a
hearty wish for his future happiness and prosper
ity. Exquisite bouquets of choice exotics were
scattered through the rooms. The superb east
parlor WAS dnzzlingly Illuminated. Magnificent
Llir ors flashed back the light from the quivering
crystals of the massive chandeliers From the

Band, floating in softencd cadence through the
