The Lazy Man.

Griswold. THE Fat Contributor" in
a recent contribution to the Cincinnati
Times, speaks rs follows in behalf of the
lazy man, mot by way of encouraging
him in his laziness, or in the remotest
degree to influence others to adopt his
ways, but as demonstrating that some
good may be mingled in the composition
of good for-nothings" 1t is subject on
which "Gris" can speak inteligentIy, and
his opinions are therefore entitled to con-
sideration:
The lazy man is nearly always good
natured. He never flies into passion.
He might crawl into one, if it were pos
sible, but the idea of his flying into any
thing is preposterous.
Whoever heard of lazy man break
ing into bank, where crowbar had 10
be used, or drilling into safe? Nobody.
Not that he might not covet his neigh
boris goods therein contained; but his
horror of handling crowbars and drills
would always deter him from actually
committing burglary. He never runs
away with his neighbours wife, simply on
account of the horror he has of running.
If it is ever known to run it is-run to
seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbors. for
it would be too much exertion, but he
can lie about bar-room all day.
He is of inestimable service to a bill
lard saloon, keeping the chairs warm
and watching the game, for few would
care to play were there no spectators.
The fact that he does this without pay,
day in and day out, shows the unseIfish
ness of his nature. What an industrious
man, who considers his time worth any
thing. would want pay for, the lazy man
generally does for nothing, showing a
freedom from mercenary motives that
should go far to his credit.
The lazy man never gets up revolu-
tons, Instructions or other public ex-
cite ments, and don't make nuisance of
himself by tramping around the coun-
try making incendiary speeches to pro-
mote public discomfort.
Ia bis own neighborhood he is never
a busy body in other peoples affairs for
the very idea of being busy body at
anything would drive him out of his
head. by the way, if he ever got out
of his head, you would have to drive
him out, for he wouldn't have the ener-
gy TO go out of his own accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad. If he
went crazy, it was because he couldn't
go anywhere else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet Of
peaceful neighbors by putting up facto-
ries, furnaces and such denominations.
Finally, lazy men don't get up base
ball clubs, which, if nothing else could
be said in their favor, ought, in these
days of excessive base bawlirg, to enti-
tie him to public gratitude.

Loss of Time.
Whewl Pas voBIs CUM.

The American Agriculturist remarks
that it is well known fact that dogs
wag their tails, and a philosopher once
computed the amount of power in the
aggregate, lost to the world by this use
less habit, and found that it was suffi-
Gent to turn half the grist mills in Eu.
rope. If he should figure up all the pow
er we lose on the farm in the year for
want of little thought, he would prob
ably tell us it would be sufficient to dig
in a week or two all the gold there is in
California. But, joking apart, if other
manufactures lost rs much time and pow
err as some farmers do, they would soon
be ruined. We lose time in every way.
We take load to the city and come
back empty, and then go empty to tho
city to bring back load. We lose time
in scraping dirt on the road. to raise it a
few inches above the water, while half
the labor in ditchiDg would take the wa
ter three feet below the road. We lose
a great deal of time by being in hur-
nv. We have not time to oil the har-
ness; to keep carriages clean and the
nuts tight; to drive hoop on barrel
or pail when it gets loose; to put up
tools and implements; to plant fruit trees
or take care of them. We have never
time to attend TO the many little things
of the farm, and we lose more by neg
lecting them than we can possibly earn
at steady work.

w"Engaged" young people may be
vi,led into those who are proud of the
engagement, and those who sensitiveIy
try to conceal it from the rude gaze of
spectators. In girls this difference is
very marked, and it invariably forms a
useful index to other points of character.
There are women who wear mans love
as they wear bonnet-are proud of it,
display it ostentatiously, are never salts
fed if other people remain in ignorance
of it. 1t is one of the articles of their
personal property of which they are
vain. 1t is testimonial to the value put
upon them by some one; it is costly
Gift which raises them in their own esti-
nation, and which they are eager to
show it is the dearest compliment they
can receive, and they wish it to be known
thatuthey have received it. 1t is like a
new muff, or ring, or lace shawl
thing Of value, and why, therefore,
should not its owner have the credit Of
its possession? There are other women
who regard their love secret as too beau
tiful and holy thing to be submitted to
the chatter of their friends. How can
they speak of the unspeakshle? How
desecrate sacred mystery by placing it
in the way of coarse jokes and farcicaI
compassion? So they closely fold the
portals of their fower-lke heart over
the subtle fragrance; and their mute
eyes tell no tale of it; and the brighten
ing of their face, at the approach of one
particular person, is to be seen and rec
ognized by him only to whom it is a sig
nal of welcome.

Grace GreenwoOd.--a Spicy Explana-
ton on the Husband @ question.
[From the Washington star.l


SIR:-I fad in your issue of yester-
day the following paragraph:
'Dr. Dippincott. (he husband of
Grace Greenwood) fourth class clerk
in the Post Office Department, was an
applicant for the position of General Su-
perintendeut Of the Post Office Depart
ment, but failed to get the appointment"
During the visit of Mr.. Macready to
this country, as he was travelling on a
Western steamboat, he was pointed out,
by waggish clerk, to backwoodsman,
as Ole Bull, who was then giving con-
ce. is in the West. The great tragedian
sat apart, on the deck, wrapped in poetic
contemplation and insular dignity; but
the tall Missourian strobe immediately
up to him, and with a startling slap on
the shoulder, thus aecosted him: "Hello
old boss! Old Bull WARS your fiddle 2"
The stately actor turned upon him and
with "withering look" and in the most
tragic tone, replied. "Sir, | am not a
horse. neither am / q bull, neither have
L fiddle"
In like manner, have to reply that
Mr.. LippincJtt, of Philadelphia, 'the
husband of Grace Greenwood" is not a
doctor, neither is he "a fourth class clerk
in the Post Office Department" neither
has he been ian applicant for the posi-
ton Of General Superintendent of the
Post Office Department" neither has he
failed to get the appointment.
AS for the excellent DIR. Lippincott, is
it not enough that he should miss of the
office to which he aspired, that you must
divorce him from his lawful wife, most
estimable lady-and bestow him upon
stranger?
As for us, belonging to another family
Of the Lippincott tree, we have applied
for no office at Washington, though we
have, | will confess, held ourselves open
to the proffer of first class foreign mis-
sion With a slight solicitation we would
consent to be "a looker-on in Vienna"
though perhaps Madrid would be bet
ter point, as our worldly possessions prin-
cipaly consists of certain dilapidated
"Castles in Spain" That we missed
Paris. was not, we feel assured, because
our honored President loved Philadel,
phia less, but Galena more. a. Curtin
has fallen upon our hopes Of st. Peters
burg, and if we mourn, it will not be in
Russian Stables. As for the Court of
St. James it seems "your Motley is the
only wear"
| think | have some reason to com.
plain of your editors, for apparently
CHASING me among "bigamistic writers
Of the day" in assigning to me so
many amable conso:ts. If you would
only vary the name occasionally, there
would be some relief in the variety.
But tojours Lippincott!
The same disclaimer l now put forth
for the benefit of DR.. Lippincott, must
apply to Mr.. J. B. Lippincott, the great
publisher, and to Gen. Lippincott, the
doerkeeper of the Senate.
They are 'all honorable men," doubt
less, but they are not my husbands; aud
| hereby warn all persons against trust
ing mo on their account.
GRACE Greenwood.

The First Prayer In Congress.

In Thatcher's Military Journal under
date of December, 1777, is found note
containing the Identical s. first prayer in
Congress-" made by the Rev. Jacob
Duche, gentleman of great eloquence.
Here it is-an historical curiosity
40, Lord, our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty King Of kings, and Lord of
lords, who dost from Thy throne behold
all the dwelers of the earth, aud reign
est with power supreme and uncontrolled
over all the Kingdoms, Empires and
Governments look down in mercy, we
beseech Thee. on these American States,
who have fled to Thee from the rod of
the oppressor, and thrown themselves on
Thy gracious protection. desiring to be
henceforth dependent only on Thee
To Thee they have appealed for the
righteousness Of their cause; to Thee do
they now look up for that countenance
and support which Thou alone canst give.
Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father,
under Thy nurturing care. Give them
wisdom in council and valor in the field.
Defeat the malicious designs of our ad-
versaries, convince them of the unrigh
teousness of their cause, and if they still
persist in sanguinary purposes, oh let
the voice of Thine own unerring justice,
sounding in their hearts, constrain them
to drop the weapons Of war from their
unnerved hands in the day of battle
Be Thou present, o God of wisdom, and
direct the councils of this honorable as
sembly. Enable them to settle things
on the best and surest foundation, that
the scenes of blood may be speedily closed
and order, harmony, and peace may be
effectually restored, and truth and justice,
religion and piety prevail and flourish
amongst Thy people. Preserve the health
of their bodies and the vigor of their
minds; shower down upon them aud the
millions they here represent such tempo
rary blessings as thou seest expedient
for them in this world, and crown them
with everlasting glory in the world to
come. All this we ask. in the name and
through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy
Son, our Saviour. Amen p

GOULD AND CURRY SRAFT.-The pro-
gress Of cleaning out and retimbering
the lower part Of the Bonner shaft, so
badly cayed a short time since, is neces-
sarily slow, owing to the broken tim
bers and loose debris encountered. The
timberiug is being done in the most sub
stautial manner possible, with timbers
Ii inches square placed close together.
Nearly 20 feet more Of this work has to
be done before arriving ut the solid bot.
tom Of the shaft, l,l45 feet from the
surface, at which point it wa just cut
ting into the east side of the Coms,ock
ledge ut the time the cave occurred. It
will take probably two or three weeks
yet before this work is done. After
that, ten days or two weeks will be con-
sumed in sinking tho shalt still deeper
into the solid quartz or other VEN mat
ter to make the seventh station OF that
point. when drifting west into the ledge
will be commenced. When this shaft'is
thoroughly cleaned u and retimbsred
to the bottom, in accordance with pres
ent intentions, it will be in II far strong
err and better coalition than it originally
was, and, in fact, one Of the most sub
s~tau,ial pieces Of work of tho kind in
the State.
STILL CHEAPER TELRGRArHiNG.-As
will be seen by official notice in our ad-
vertiug columns to-day, the Atlantic
and Pacific States Telegraph Company
will, on and after Monday next, reduce
their tariff on messages between Gold
| Hill and San Francisco, Sacramento,
Stockton and San Jose to so cents for
10 words. That's cheap enough to al
low everybody to indulge in the luxury
of sending lightning messages to their
friends.
STARTING UP.-The Bacon mill = ut
Silver City, which has been lying still
for Il time for lack of ore to work, will
start up again in a few days with a
plentiful supply. Pretty much all Of
the other mills down the canyon which
have been stopped will be actively
pounding away again shortly.
THE RoAp.-A gentleman who has
jus, arrived, via overland road, from
White Pine, reports the road to the new
| Silrerado TO be in n terrible condition,
and he passed plenty of wagons badly
broken down all along the route.
BELcnsR.-The fine large body Of
good pay ore recently developed in this
mine still continues to look well, and a
streak of ore a foot wide, and assaying
over 5000 per ton, was found three or
four days ago Mt the 200-foot level.
STREET REpAIRs.-Strect Commission
err Gallagher has quite a force OF hands
at work to-day leveling down and filling
in the deep ruts Of Main street.
SAvAGE.-Last week this famous
mine yielded 1920 tons, worth about
$50 per ton. 10 men are employed in
this mine.
CHoLLAR YIELD.-For the week end
ing 10th instant, $50 tons of orc were
extracted, and 7Ol tons forwarded to
the mills.
DIED OF SMALL-PoX.-A. Mauge, part
ner with Z. Cissa, died at Virginia last
