rUBLIsHED sIAI-WEEKLY,

Stick TO YoUR BUsH.-Mr. Morgan was q
rich and also good man. The people Of the
town respected him, sent him to Parliament
and seldom undertook anything without his
advice fa school house was to be built, the
plan had TO be talked over with him. Widow
her field: Farmer s. always got his advice
In buying cattle; and Mrs. R. consulted
him about bringing up her boys.
When asked why he was 80 successful, Mr..
Morgan said: Il will tell you how it was.
One day when l was q lad, party Of boys
and girls were going to n distant past ure TO
pick whortleberries. 1 wanted to go with
them but was fearful that my father would
not let me. When told him what was going
on. and he at once gave me permission to go
with them, / could hardly contain myself
for Joy. and rushed into the kitchen and got
big basket, and asked mother for a lunch
con. had the basket on my arm, and was
jest going out the gate, when my father called
me back. He took hold Of my hand and said
in n very gentle voice: Joseph, what are you
going for, TO pick berries or To plny? TO
pick berries, replied. Then, Joseph, want
10 tell you one thing. When you find pret.
ty good bush, do not leave il to find better
one. The other boys and girls will run about
picking little here and there. wasting n great
deal Of time and not getting many berries. II
you do as they do, you will come home with
m empty basket. II you want berries, stick
went with the party, and We had capital
t:ne. But 1t was just as my father said. No
sooner had one found good bush than he
called all the rest, and they left their several
places and ran of 10 the new found treasure
Not content more than minute OF two in one
place, they rambed over the whole pasture
got very tired. and at night had very few ber-
ries. Ny fathers words kept ringing in my
ears. and stuck TO my bush. When | had
done with one found another, and finished
that; then took another. When night came
/ had a large basketful of nice berries more
than all the Others put together, and was not
half SO tired as they were. / went home hap
py. But when 1 entered found that my IA
ther had been taken very i'll. He looked at
my basketful Of whortleberries, and said
Well done, Joseph. Was il not Just as told
youi Always stick to your bush
He died "A few days after and | had TO make
my way through the world best / could.
But my fathers words sunk deep into my
mind. and never forgot the experience Of
the whortleberry party; l stuck to my bush.
When had "A fair place, and was doing toler-
able well, did not leave II and spend weeks
and months in finding one 4 little better.
When other young men said; Come with Ms,
aud we will make u fortune in "a few weeks, |
shook my head and stuck to my bush.
Presently my employers offered Ia take me
into business with them, ] stayed with the
old house until the principals died and then !
had everything | wanted. The habit OF stick
ing Ia my business led people To trust me, and
gave me a character. / owe nll | have and all

THE NATIONAL HEiLrH.-That prying and
inquisitive clan called the stntisticians seem
bound To revolutionize some OF the most deep
ly-rooted notions of society. For instance, it
has always been common belief that the av-
erage term Of human life has become shorter
with the progress Of refinement and luxury
that our fathers were not only more robust,
but were considerably longer-lived than their
physically degenerate children. DIR. Jarvis,
however. has recently shown by figures which
no one appears to dispute, that the average
longevity has constantly increased in all the
civilized countries. Another notion, equally
prevalent, has been entertained, that the
Americans as people are less healthy and
long-lived than our British brethren, who
have often boasted Of their superiority in this
respect. But now the life insurance compa-
MES come forward with different story. The
experience Of twenty of the most prominent
English and Scotch companies, compared
with the combined American experience, is as
follows: Starting with ten thousand lives at
the age Of ten, the American loss the first
year IL seventy-fve; the English seventy. nine;
at The age Of twenty, American loss " seventy
two; English, ffty-six; ut the age Of forty,
American loss is scventy.sevcn; English,
eiRhty-one; at the age of sixty American loss
~ one hundred and nine; English one hun
dted and eigh,y.siI. Thus IL will be seen
that every period Of life below eighty years,
with the single exception of the second de-
cnde, OF which the figures are very serious
and instructive, American vitality appears to
DO DC decidedly superior TO English. Fleming

NEED OF SCIENTIFIC KSowLYDor.-Tbere ia
no manufacture which does not continualIv
involve the necessity for scientific knowledoe
livery person who has TO operate either phys-
NcaIIy or mechanically upon material sub
stances, or who has to superintend sucb one
Iations, ought certainly TO possess a general
knowledge Of the forces and materials under
nis care. a man who handles a substance
shonid be Familiarity acquainted with all its
leading properties. Rational knowledge is far
more valuable than empirical knowledge.
n man who understands principle can solve
ne" ulmculty nearly as well as he can an
o'o one. In the management and manipula-
uon of materials it is manifest that a work
man who possesses an intelligent knowledos
ot the principles of the process, and of the
properties Of the forces and substances with
which he is dealing, in addition to the every
uay working experience, Is better able to pre-
vent accidents, correct errors, and vary the
processes so as to produce special effects: and
such man must also in many trades be a
Deter artisan than he who has only the daily
WORKING experience, guided by the ''rule of
'humos. In all manufacturing employments
science combined with natural ability is the
only true foundation Of skill There is no
kind OF physical labor, however simple and
rude IL may be, IN which superior intelligence
aoes not enable man TO produce better or
larger results. In most other human affairs
the means employed are adapted 20 the OBJ
Ject III view. But in the manipulation with
natural forces and material substances men
are nearly always employed who are largely
ignorant both Of the one and the other. Far
aday, in his evidence before the Government
Commission appointed to inquire into the
state OF science education in the English
schools, said: I'VE cannot find the 'intelli-
gent common man in this country"
What is really wanted in workmen and man.
ayers is not the substitution, even in the
slightest degree, of scientific knowledge for
the knowledge Of the special methods of their
trades, nor even that they should be largely
with some one branch Of science
but that they should be much more largely
acquainted than they arc with the leading
facts and principles of the science upon
which their own special arts and manufac-
lures depend, and that they should know how
such knowledge is applied, and how these
principles operate in their several occupations

DOCTRINE LAID Down by JUDGE HoLr.-The
Washington correspondent OF the Baltimore
Gazette OF April 18th says the Radical leaders
no longer pretend TO recognize the written in
strument called the Constitution Of the
United States" u limit upon the power of
Congress. Indeed, it is claimed. on the other
hand, that il is but IA partial and very feeble
attempt to elucidate the fundamental law
which is asserted To be still retained by the
people at large, and to be exercised by them
through an UnnipOtent Senate and House Of
Representatives. Judge Holt in an editorial
published In the organ of this morning, an
nounccs the Radical creSd upon this point
thus:
The people. in forming their fundamental
law, IN giving expression to their will i'll u
Constitution, retained all powers necessary to
continue the United Government, and charged
the General Government with the responsible
ity of It's OWN preservation. The extent Of the
power possessed by the people-that is. the
General GovcTnment-EOr self preservation
was not fully known until tested in the late
rebellion, when IL fully appeared that this SUI
preIne power extended not only to the use of
the estates and fortunes of individuals but to
their very lives"
And this is precisely the doctrine advocat ed
by Sumner. Drake, Morton and their fellow
revolutonsts in the Senate for the past year,
and will certainly be applied to the powers of
the States, the Supreme Court, and final
ly TO the Executive. 1t is now invoked with
special reference to the legal tender question
and the Georgia imbroglio, and may prevail
To the extent of resembling the late decision
Of the Court and the passage of Drake 3
Georgia bill Messrs. Trumbull. Carpenter,
Edmunds, and so on, prepare, then, quickly
To repudiate your late speeches, and fall in
the tail end Of the Radical rank and file, or
manfully throw off the shackics of slavery.
You have emancipated the negroes-free
yourselves from a serfdom more intolerable
than any entailed upon the mind of man since
the beginning of the world.
