know how you had TO go. Some folks
are dreadful willing to had to 60.
Yes, know it is coming on election

was no election in the country-it would
be much better off if We had none.

did you elect? Who did you see? Thea
tire and dance. Now turn over here.
Oh, Lord! am in hop yard or a
distillery, or where am /? What have
you got outside OF you? Didn't drink
much! You must have got into a beer
barrel, then, for il is coming out all over
you, and how it smells! You danced,
did you? You must have cut pretty
| figure -guess it was lager beer reel.
Do you think I'll stand this going off To
a dance all night? III bet she was as ug.

Look here,you needn't pretend sleep,

ton with you. I'm your better hall, and
your better half proposes to discuss mat

it's late? IT'S early enough to give you
a piece of woman's tongue. I5ngUey

woman's prerogative, and I'm going to
use some of it on you. Let yoW dt0ne !
Did you say that to the girl you danced

Success.

Take twenty boys of sixteen, III our
or any city OF the state, and lei them go
to work, three or four in a dry goods
store, boot or shoe or blacksmith estab-
hshments, and printing offices. In ten
wears they will have become men OF
twenty-six, and the majority Of them
will then be about as far along i'll the
business as they ever will be. One OF
two only in the above branches will be
established in business for themselves OF
connected with some firm doing good
business, and the rest will be barely get
ting a living ana growing about their
poor luck.
Now, we assert that there is good rea
son for their poor success, and that luck
has but little, if anything at all, to dc
with it. If we take the trouble to ascer
tain the real facts in their several cases
we shall find that these young men whC
became masters in their trades, or lead
ing men in their pursuits, were not afraiC
to work, and were determined to sue
coed. They looked beyond the day an(
week. They made themselves valuable
and useful to their employers, by being
always faithful, reliable aHd willing to dc
what they could for the interest ofthos'
for whom they worked.
When press of business came, they
were ready and willing TO work extr;
hours, and without sulking orgiamellng
well knowing that business must be at
tended to when it came, and that tier
were plenty of dull times during th
year. which would more than counter
balance any extra briskuess of the bus
season. To sum it all up, these youni
men identified themselves with the estal
lishment where they were employed
became useful te their employers, in fact
fixtures, who could be lily spared, and i
due course of time, having gained exp,
rience, were invited to take hand viii
the already established house, or els
boldly struck out for themselves. Here
then, is the lesson. which is, if you Wis
to becom, successful masters, learn trS
TO become faithful servants.

Edwin Forrest a Free Thinker.

Yesterday, through the politeness OF
Mr.. McArdle, the business manager of
Mr. Hollands dramatic troupe, we were
introduced aud spent very social and
pleasant hour with Americas greatest
tragcdian. Mr.. Forrest informed us that
he had been connected with the stage
ever since the age OF thirteen, and he is
now sixty-three. He is a native Of the
keystone State, and his resident is at
Philadelphia, he having sold his pslatial
residence ON the Hudson to the Sisters Of
Charity, The price paid was 100000,
and, after the deed was made and deliv-
cred, Mr.. +. made the sisters a present
of $4,000, a gift, he says, the most wor-
thily bestowed of any within his recol.
ksction, for he considers them the true
angels of mercy. Mr.. +. belongs to no
religious denomination, is free thinker,
and believes it the privilege of every
man and woman to do just as they please
in that respect. We were much inter.
ested in his description Of his travels,
both in this country and in Europe, and
especially where he visited the insane
asylums of FRANCE in search of knowl-
edge particularly adapted TO his role of
plays, and more especially that of "King
Lear" his masterpiece, for this evening.
In one of hem he found an old man,
aged about sixty years, and when not
aroused could easily have pushed him
over with a gentle shove but when he
commenced talking Of the Napoleon
dynasty he became lion, and before
Mr.. +. was aware of what he was doing,
be had lifted by the hips and thrown
him about ten feet over his head, and
was in the act of crushing him with his
heel, when the keeper appeared upon the
scene and rescued him from harm. This
little episode, Mr.. f. states, paid him
two-fold for his trip across the Atlantic
tor he there had an ocular demonstration
Of the power OF mind over strength.
He is fiuc scholar, a9d master of three
or four languages has been hard
student in his beloved profession, and
considers Shakespeare one of the noblest
lights ever permitted to shine. He has
made his work of life study, and ever in
his advanced years he says he never
plays King Lear" without finding new
beauties he never saw before.

Select Poetry.
A Lesson from the Brook.
BY JOHN DAVIES.

Hard by the sea, little brook
Ran rippling through an upland wood;
Round many curves, DER messy stones,
And on, past many "A shady nook,
Its seaward course ii slowly took
All summer time with cadence low,
Its shrunken waters rolled along;
When winter came, with rain and snow,
1t rose; and with louder song
Sped on with current swift and and strong.
Away, away from vulgar sight,
Much of its course, the brook pursued;
1t had thousand winning charms.
Hidden in woody solitude;
That few eer loved, or sought, or viewed
knew them well, for oft I've tracked,
The waters DER their stony bed;
And all forgetlul of the world,
Alone by love and Fancy led,
Have heard the sacred things they said.
One day, an ivy-covered stone,
just as the summer gan to wane,
| sat enraptured with the scene;
When 10! heard with inward pain,
The spirit of the brook complain.
"Cease waters, cease, no longer flow;
Hush, hush, why sing to bush and tree?
1t breaks my heart o let me diel
To think the world so cold should be,
To slight SO beauteous thing as thee"
o speak not thus fair nymph, SAID,
And bowed before her blushing face;
Nor deem thy beauties all unknown,
My heart adOres thy dwelling place;
And loves its secret charmes TO trace.
Once when that heart was sore oppressed,
And troubled my brain with anxious thought
| turned with lOathing from the world,
And yonder messy seat | sought,
And wisdom by the brook was taught.
There had been rain, and not as now,
a languid stream passed rock and reed,
These orms lay hid beneath the waves,
That like a panic-stricken stced,
Rushed wildly forth with frantic speed.
l sat and watched the foaming waves;
| saw them countless bubbles make;
| watched the bubbles swell with pride,
(As down the stream their way they'd takeO
And by their pride | saw them break.
All mel said |, that man should need,
A little brook to make him wise;
And yet, upon the stream of life,
How many bursting bubbles rise,
TO cheat the heart and mock the eyes.
To-day Tn wearied in the chase,
OF what deserves no better name,
Anu just DeCauSC my DuOUle OuTSI,
My hope lies dead, my faiths the same
| . manhood, wisdom, heart, tor shame
felt rebuked, to think that l.
| A man, with an immortal mind,
Had lived for things of bubble worth,
Had fretted, chated, wept and repined,
For things as empty as the wind.
rose and blessed the lite brook;
| pressed it to my lips again;
My heart regained its warmth of love,
My faith and hope revived, and then,
/ sought again the haunts of men.
And daily in lifc's bitter strife,
| turn in thought to hear the strain,
OF this beloved upland brook;
1t seems to cool my fcvered brain,
And saves from bubble-schemes again.
Revoke thy words then, spare the stream,
No more IF useless life complain,
In Gods fair world, no tongue can tell
The power, cen things obscure may gain,
No life that's true as spent IN rain.
