Which Would You Rather DOP

John Adams, father Of Joha
Quincy Adams, used to say, when I
was boy, l had to study the Lat
in grammar, but it waS dull, and I
hated it. My father was anxious
to send me to college, and there,
fore l studied the grammar till !
could bear it no longer, and going
to my father, told him l could not
study, and asked him for other em.
ployment. / was opposing his
wishes, and he was quick in hie
answer. Well, John, said he, il
Latin grammar does not suit you,
you may try Neutrality-suspicious. that
will. Ny meadow yonder needs .
ditch, and you may put by grsm-
mar and dig.
This seemed a delightful change
and to the meadow / went, but soOp
found ditching harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon was the long
est l ever experienced.
That day ate the bread Of la
Dor, and glad was l when night
came on. That night l made con-,
parison between Latin grammar
and ditching, but said not a ROEd
about it,
! dug the next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner
time; but it was humiliating, aud )
could not do it. At night tell COR
quered pride, and l told nay !stheg
ono of the severest lessons OF my
life-that if he chose, / would 90
back to Latin grammar
He was glad of it, and if / have
since gained any distinction, it hos
been owing to my two days labsF
in that abominable ditch.
Daniel Webster did netlike mOWr
ng any better than John Adams
liked ditching. His father told hin
70 hang his sythe to suit himself,
md he went and hung IL on tree.
However, both Adams and Web
'ter worked harder with their brains
han most boys with their muscles.

When the Suns hoax about the
serious illness Of Vanderbilt was
first made known every man had a
first thought What was it /? Did any
one care the toss Of copper for
the life of the old man; was there
one heart-throb of regard; was
the one prayer for his recovery
based on a sincere love for him p
We presume that ninety-hine in
every hundred thought how his
death would affect stocks, how
much he would leave, who would get
it, or, "Well, money can't keep
man alive after all" Vanderbilt
knows that outside of limited cir
Gle Of four, no one really cares
whether he lives or dies, and out
of the thousands who speak of him
there probably isn't one solitary
man who would lift his finger to
keep him on e rth, provided he
could know of the approaching
death twenty-four hours before
hand, 1t is a sad commentary on
a long, hard life. Here is a man
rich beyond the dream of avarice,
with horses and houses, lands and
by the scores and scores,
running up in amount to milliobs
and millions of dollars, with few If
any real friends, with enmies by the
hundred, surrounded by specula-
tors and watched by brokers who
would coin his hearts blood if they
had the chance. Old age is vener-
able, great wealth is powerful; but
when one has reached the end of
MS tether, a clean record and reg
ularly fashioned passport, loving
friends and human sympathy are
much more to be desired, N, Y.

AMERICAN HYPERBoLE.-A natty
little book has inst come over from
London, entitled "Reminiscences
of America, by two Englishmen,"
which describes the manner in
which the twain rippled through
the country, what they saw in the
country, and what they heard in
the streets. AS instances of the
"hyperbole" Of the country, they
record the following:
"In describing the large trees of
the Yosemite Valley, one said that
1T took two men and a boy to see
the top of them One being asked
by friend if he saw a certain mus
quito on the weather-vane of the
State house at St Louis, answered,
Yes, l see it winking' A third, in
describing the prices of carriages
at Niagara, asserted that the hack
fares are so high that the Falls are
insignificant in comparison An
other story is related, with the ap-
pearance of truth, of a boy who
was watching his school fellows, as
they snow balled an old gentle
mans windows. The old gentle
man rushed out of the house, de-
termined, if possible, to indict
some severe corporeal punishment
on the offenders, saying, as he
caught hold of one of the boys,
Now, you rascal, I'll thrash you
within an inch of your life Ac-
lie began to beat him,
when the boy Immediately COM
menced laughing, and continued
until the old gentleman stopped
beating him with the exclamation,
Boy, what are you laughing at p
We'll, said the boy, Pm laughing
because you are awfully sold-I
uin't the boy!" Harpe''s Ndga

fFor the Herald J
WILD OATS.
BY K. ELLEN CHERRY.

Ali yes, they sow in April!
The seeds begin to swell.
And sprout behind the whisky bars,
And in the gambling hell;
Wherever they are dropped
The wild oats spring again,
And every stalk a note in hand
To pay the Devil train.
Ali poor misguided youths!
The heavier these notes grow,
The more they get endorsed on them
They reap the deeper woe.
IT'S Mayl Crop savedl well,waitawhile,
They now begin to see,
The peculiar kind of grain
That they have turned beneath the lea.
Kind friends, look over to their fields,
And older neigh bors, too,
Thesame that shook their warning heads
And spoke of this to you;
They couldn't see it, then, Oil no,
They plainly see it now,
And feel little anxious
Where to put this crop, and how.
The crops immense! the yield is great!
How can they market it2
Where will they get the sacks, and how,
To store away replete
This yield of grain of wild outs sown?
They grow uneasy, now,
And so in june they do propose
The whole crop up to plow-
And plant better
Forindeed they hate this kind of fgrain.
1t grows SO fast and yields so much,
1t is not good It's plain.
But like Canada thistles.
1t does the better grow
Forall this blowing under,
They always find it so.
July, they're heading outl
A little later, though,
But crop much more productive
For all this blowing so;
But less they like this kind of oats,
As now they oder grow,
And so they work, and tug, and pull,
To kill it out, you know.
Vain toll! They neoer can
Destroy this crop of grain!
And SO they reap, and bind, and shock,
With tears and groans of pain.
Suffering may make them child-like.
But still the crop will spread;
A thousand hands will take their seed,
And raise a crop instead.
The month wanes on; too late too late!
The remorselesa harvest comes,
And brings a curse to many souls
In the eternal home.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1870-09-15

Young men, be wise! avoid this fatel
1t is not meant for man;
Let wild oats rest! choose honest toll!
For that's the honest plan.
As thro' vhe Autumn and Winter of life
You gather the sheaves you raise,
And carry them intoyourimmortal home
With songs of joy and praise.

The Shenandoah Valley Blooming
Again

The Lynchburg Tirginian says: The
scenes Of rural peace and plenty to be
found in many portions of Virginia are
truly refreshing and cheering. Especi-
allv il this the case in what is
known as the great Shenandoah Valley.
We have recently passed through a
large portion of that favored region,
and were never more struck with its
beauty or with the abundant gifts
which a munihcent Providence has
-howcrcd upon it than then. From
stanton down to its lowest borderrit
is one prolonged garden spot, blooming
Ike verdure-c clad oasis. All traces Of
grim war have been swept away by the
hand Of industry. The barns and
dwellings, leveled 70 the earth have
been rebuilt; the destroyed fencing
has been replaced, and overlooking
gamers and waving fields Of corn ana
grass proclaim the triumph Of nature
over the barbarisms Of man. II is
pleasant to behold the evidences Of
thrift ana prosperity which have SO
soon followed in the track of fire and
sword. The fertile fields which there
abound, responsive to the toll Of man,
Ire giving out a generous yield Of the
fruits Of the earth, and shedding
abroad happy influence on the people.
