A Funeral Discourse.

The readers Of the Drawer have
within the past year or two, been
edifed with the perusal Of sermon
on "The Harp Of a Thousand
/ Strings and the Farewell Dis
course Of Brother Watkins The
tone of those discourses might, in
a general way, he called pleasing
Not so, however tie following
brief allusion from the pulpit to a
young man Of indifferent position
in the social circle Of B., New
Hampshire, Who came to an early
deccase by a vigorous but absurd
ly unequal contest with a party OF
the Otard family, The preacher
who ofIiciated at the final solemni-
ftifs improved the occasion by max
ink the following remarks;
II hey been requested, not to
say importuned, toe deliver funeral
discourse on this occasion, and 1
heNreHctantly consented to do so.
l never heard any good Of the de-
ceased Wit; and if the friends hey
made up their minds that I'm about
to begin sech a course now, they are
very much mistaken. l estimate,
in fact, that this young man, now a
layin' before you, was about the
wust man ever permitted, in the
onscrutable ways of the divine
peppnSse$, to locate in this vicinity.
He wus one who / might say alters
fell when he was tempted; and he
certainly appeared to me to seek,
rather than to avoid, occasions of
sech temptation.
Why, my feller christians, he
KEEP hosses an run 'em; he KEEP
cocks an, fit 'em: and es to wimen
let his lridder (who [ see a settin'
in the front pew testify" Here
the widow arose, as was the Gus
tom when the family ofthe deceas-
ed was alluded to, and deeming it
q complimentary remark, courte-
sled to the preacher) In short,
after diligent inquiry intoe the
! pertickerlers of his kerikter and
conduct while he has resided in
this village, 1 hev come toe the
conclusion flat about the only good
thing that kin be said of him at all
is that he was an active member of
the iDgine company, and occasion
ally good at fire.
"The pail bearers will now pro
ceed to bear out the corpse, while
] the choir will sing an appropriate
ihymne the 33d hynin5 I'd book, short
metre, four verses, omitting, if you
please, the Sd and 9TH stanzas;
believing we rejoice
To see the cuss removed"
with the usual Doxology."- Ed

zine.

GONG UP Stairs BY STEAM
The steam elevator is beginning to
play an important part in domestic
economy. In some of our large
hotels few pcrsons--certainlv, very
few ladies-now think of going up
to their rooms in the sixth or sew
enth story by the interminable stair
ways. All they have to do, after
coming in tired from a days shop
ping, is to take a seat in an elcvat
or, give the word, and, in a few mo-
ments, find themselves at the top
of the building, if need be. Eleva-
tors are coming into this use, also,
in large business establishments
The superb building of the Equit-
able Insurance Company, down
town, is furnished with two i'm
proved steam elevators, which are
to be constantly running in bust
ness hours. Whoever wishes to
go to the upper stories, which are
high enough, can be saved the time
and fatigue Of jumping up several
hundred steps on the stairs, by sim
ply steaming up. The Evening
Post says that leading law firms,
capitalists, and managers of estates,
have taken Offices on the fifth and
sixth floors, and Others are after
the rooms. The officers of the
company now regret that the build
ing was not made twelve instead of
seven stories high People are
forgetting the old prejudices against
the upper stories of house, and
the time is not distant when the
question will be "How high up can
you let me an office ?" instead OF
How low down PIN. Y. Oh

Some peryerse, but specula.

could not brook the idea Of pay.
ing wages to the eIhancipated ne,

scheme, by and through which,
about a year ago, n considerable
Of Hollanders were induced

good wages, but the promises have
been broken, the scheme as spec.

some FIVE hundred Of those unfor-
Itunate foreigners are without EN-

from Amelia county, offered a res

long been dependent for their own

either European or Asiatic, or to
appropriate either large or small
sums from the public treasury for
their support.

Our Future Housekeepers,

We sometimes catch ourselves
wondering how many of the young
ladies whom we meet with, are to
perform the part Of housekeepers,
when the young men who now eye
them so admiringly have persua-
ded them to qecome their wives
We listen to those young ladies Of
whom we speak, and hear them not
only acknowledge, but Boosting
of their Ignorance of all household
duties, as if nothing would so low
er them in the estimation of theil
friends as a confession Of an abili-
ty to bake bread and pies, or cook
piece of meat, or disposition
to engage in any useful employ
ment. Speaking from our own
youthful recollections, we are free
to say that taper fingers and lilly
white hands are very pretty to look
at in young mans eyes, and
sometimes we have known the art
less innocence of practical knowl-
edge displayed by young miss to
appear rather interesting than 9th
erwise. But we have lived long
enough to learn that life is full Of
rugged experiences, and that the
most loving, romantic and deli
cate people must live on cooked
or otherwise prepared food, and in
homes kept clean aud-tidy by IN:
| dustrious hands. Andfor all prae
tieal purposes Of married life, it i;
generally found that for husband
to sit and gaze at wife's taper fin
gers and white hands, or for .
wife to sit and be looked at and
admired, does not mako the poi
boil or put the smallest piece Of
food in it.

The Woman Justice.


Our readers are already advised
Of the fact that the Territory Of
Wyoming has had jury of wo-
meny and now has a feminine jus
tice Of the Pence, in the person Of
Mrs. Esther Morris, The follow
ing extract from aletter written by
her son, a lad of fifteen, tells how
she gets along:

first advocates of abolition and wo

sometimes scorned, hissed at and
mobbed, the way for the followers
now seem comparatively smooth;
/ and they who will finish the grand
reform of equal rights will no more
realize the hard work, denial,
and suffering it required, than the

question to consider IS, how can
[ the African race live with the An.
glo.Saxon race, and yet develop
in the best way their own resourc-
es, and advance their own ciyiliza-
tom
There are two theories in rela-
ton to the colored race. One pro-
poses such an intermingling of the
whites and blacks as that eyentu-
ally the two shall be merged to,
gether and all differences shall be
swept away. TO this end they
would break down all separate or
ganizqtions for the colored people
in churches, schools colleges, and
/ all educational establishments, so
that the blacks should have moth
ing separate, but be so blended
with other races as to do away
with all differences, and all dis
tinctions, and create, as far
as possible, one uniform type Of
civilization with all classes. But
the other theory is directly the re-
verse. 1t proposes to give an in
dependent life and growth to the
colored race. 1t proposes not to
eramp their energies by am undue
Influence from the other race, not
to degragde the race by asking a
serVile imitation of the whites. 1t
is utterly opposite to any kind Of
amalgamation, and would encour.
Iage nol'intercommunioation with
the white pace, that should be at u
loss of self respect, and the merg-
ing of their constitutional differ
ences into those of the Anglo Sax
on race. -lisl.. So
This theory holds to the idea
that God himself has made not
only one man to differ from anoth-
er, but one race from another, and
that this race distinction cannot be
" itl M i, a,.;o,s Ill,
ry. 1t holds also that all history

- General Stanley, commanding
at Fort Sully, Dakota, writes to
General Sheridan, April 10th, that
there are sight hundred lodges of
Sioux at or near Fort Sully, of
which five hundred (the Brules )are
hostile to the whites. They offer
all kinds of insults to the Indian
Agent at that point, dancing war
dances before his headquarters, and
exhibiting scalps of white men who
they have murdered. They are led
by Red Leaf, the Indian who led
the attack at the massacre at Fort
Phil. Kearney. They have ordered
the Two Kettle and Fool bands
across the Missouri river these
bands being friendly to the whites.
Most employees of the Agency have
left through fright General Stan
ley is firmly convinced that there
can be no peace, and no living with
the Sioux till they are soundly
thrashed. He is in constant fear
for the fate of the agencies on
the Cheyenne Reservation. Cen
eral Sheridan is Of the opinion that
be can get the upper hand Of the
Brules, being thoroughly acquaint-
ed with all their modes OF living
and of fighting.

vailed during the closing hours of

there were disorder and confusion
no one present can doubt. That

equally certain. 1t is only just,
however, to the majority of the
members present, to say that only
about half a dozen members partic.

brooch, in the centre of which was
an enormous pearl surrounded by
30 diamonds. This was the gift Of
