PITY TIE SoRRows OF A Poor OLD MAN
We are almost inclined, says the Ches-
ter6eld Democrat, to feel very sorry for
one Robert X. Scott, native Of Penn
sylvania, adopted by Ohio and captured
in South Carolina, who was against his
own will made Governor of the State:
and that too merely because he was "pre-
ferred to other Carpet baggers' only that
there is more reason to pity the aforesaid
''othcr carpet-baggers"
"Many of the native citizens" have
very dark complcxions, but they ought
not to have been guilty of so dark deed
as to take in u verdant son of Ohio in
this way; place him "in an unenviable
light" and make him appear every much
like scoundrel in fact" rs he complains
they have done.
Truly tho "loil' have much to answer
for, to this prosecuted man.

USEFUL INFoRMATIoN.-Th Peters
burg (Va.) Mder has learned, in CONVEX
sation with an old gentleman OF that city,
that for several years past he had kept
his house free from cockroaches and other
vermin, by the use of Epson Salts. Scat
tered freely near the holes through which
they enter, these ugly visitants will seek
other homes, and assures US also that
a strong solution of Salts, applied extcr-
nally to horses, will save them from an
noyanoe by flies; and that where mirrors,
picture frames, &c, have been rubbed with
the solution, the flies will refuse TO light.
As a preventive against ted bugs or
Aeas, the same remedy will be found OF
great service but more effectual ore is
tho recently discovered carbolic acid or
carbolic soap. Animals washed with this
solution will be forever free from insects.
Perpetual freedom from rats and mice
may also be obtained by tho use of this
carbolc acid or soap; but as this is not al
ways at hand, our old friend assures us
that kerosene oil poured into rat-holes, or
rags saturated with kerosene, will Danish
rats and mice effectually.
He has used these antidotes for years,
and is fully convinced Of their value;
They are, at least, simple and cheap, and
may be tried.

WANT OF DEc1sloN-A great deal of
labor is lost in the world for the want Of a
little courage. Every day sends to their
graves obscure men, who have onl y re-
NAMED in obscurity because their timidi-
ty has prevented them from making q
first effort, and who, if they had only been
induced to begin, would in all probability,
have gone great lengths in the career OF
fame. The fact is, that in doing anything
in the world worth doing wo must not
stand on the banks shiverng, thinking
of the cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble through as we'll as we can. 1t
will not dv to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice changes. 1t did
all very we'll before the food, when man
would consult his friends upon an intend
cd publication for one hundred and fifty
years, and live to see its success for six or
seven centuries afterwards; but at pres
ent, man waits and doubts, and consults
his brothers and uncles and particular
friends, until one day he finds he is six
ty-fve years of age, and that he has no
more time to follow their advice. There
is so little time for ovcrsqueamishng at
present, that the opportunity slips away.
The very period OF life at which man
chooses to venture, if ever, is so confined
that it is no bad rule to preach up the ne

lence done to tie feelings, and efforts
made in defiance of strict and sober cal
culatlons.-.S Sidney Smith,

A "GENTLEMAN OF LEISURE. There
are very few grown men, or even 'stout
boys" in this country who have any
pride in being out of business. Occa-
sonalIy one is found, however, and when
found he is worth making q note OF.
We ran across genuine specimen the
other day-or, rather, he ran against
us-emphatically against us; against our
feelings, against our judgment, against
our sympathy, but not against our pity.
We did pity him, and that was the ex-
tent of cur recognition. He was dressed
faultessly-that is, if the extreme OF
latter-day fashion can be called fanltless,
He had beautiful whito hands and teeth,
his hair was parted in the middle, his
downy moustachc adroitly colored and
curlcd, gold-mounted eyeglass dangled
from buttonholc of his vest, and q
"nobby" little walking-stick was twisted
in his bejewelcd lady fingers. He was
proud to say that he was "gentleman
of leisure" We inferred as much before
he said it. What else could have been
Inferred? What earthly use could the
mortal thing be put to? Physical force
he had not; his mind was as vacant as an
exhausted receiver; and he seemed to
have no excuse for living except to ad-
vertise some tailoring establishment. 1t
is something to the credit of this republl-
can country that such specimens OF the

they werc so rare that Barnum would be
induced to cage them with his monkeys ;

tes: against the companionship.-Pack-

The Ages Of Animals and Men.


When the world was created, and all
creatures assembled to have their lifetime
appointed, the ass advanced first, and
asked how long be would have TO live.
"Thirty years" replied Nature "will
that be agreeable to thee?"
"Alas |" said the ass, "it is long time.
Remember what o wearisome existence
mine will be; from morning until night L
shall have to bear heavy burdens, drag
ging corn sacks to the mill, that others
may eat bread while shall have no en-
couragement, nor be refreshed with any
thing but blows and kicks. Give me but
Il portion of that time, pray thee
Nature was moved with compassion
and presented him with but eighteen
wears. The ass went away comtorted,
and the dog came forward. 49,
"How long dost thou require to live -
asked Nature "thirty years were too
many for the ass, but will you be content
with them %
"Is it thy will that I should ?" replied
the dog. "Think how much 1 shall have
to run about; my feet will not last so
long time; and I shall have lost my
voice for barking, and my teeth for biting,
what else shall be fiji for but to lie in u
corner and growl Z"
Nature thought he was right, and gave
him twelve years. The ape then ap-
preached. :.
"Thou wilt; doubtless, willingly live
the thirty years p said Nature. Thou
Wilt not have to labor as the ass and the
dog. Life will be pleasant to thee"
"Oh, no." cried he; $50 it may seem to
others, but it will not be. Should pud-
dings ever rain down, l should have no
spoon shall play merry tricks and
excite laughter by my grimaces, and then
be rewarded with a sour apple. How
often sorrow lies concealed behind jest.
l shall not be able to endure for thirty
years"
Nature was gracious and he received
but ten.
At last came man, healthy and strong,
and asked the number of his days.
"Will thirty years content thee Z"
"IIow short a tme," exclaimed man.
"When 1 shall have built my house and
kindled fire on my own hearth-when
the trees shall have planted are about
to bloom and bear fruit-when life with
me will seem most desirable, l shall die
o, Nature, grant me longer period y
"Thou shalt have the eighteen years OF
the ass besides"
"That is not enough yet" replied man.
"Take, likewise, the twelve years OF
tho dog"
cit is not yet sufficient" reiterated
man; "give me more.'
Il will give thee, then, the ten years OF
the ape; in vain wilt thou crave more. "
Man departed unsatis6ed.
Thus man lives seventy years The
first thirty are his human years, and pass
swiftly by. He is then healthy and hap
py; he labors cheerfully and rejoices in
his existence. The eighteen years of the
ass comes next, and burden upon burden
is heaped upon him; he carries the corn
that is to feed others; blows and kicks
arc the wages of his faithful service. The
twelve years of the dog follow, and he
loses his teeth and growls. When these
are gone, the apes ten years form the
conclusion. Then man, weak and silly,
becomes the sport of childhood.-7fans-
lated from the German.
