A Word 10 Boys.

Make yourselves Indispensable to

path to success. Be so Industrious,
so prompt, so careful, that if you

whatever task he sets before you,
and above all, be not too nice TO

A WORD AT A GRAVE.

The New York Independent pays
the following tribute to the late
Hon. E. M. Stanton.
EDWIN M. STANToN-pure patriot,
strong statesman, and true hero
fiercely hated, greatly feared, and
kindly loved-one of Natures
greatest men-prince of war minis
ters, and chief executive genius of
his time-a will of iron, and a soul
of fire-has passed from among the
multitude of his detractors,
'sTo where, beyond these voices there is
peace.''
And now that the grave has opened
to receive his dust, we join that
greater multitude of his countrymen
who stand strewing his name with
grateful memories as they have
sweetened his bier with funeral
flowers. -"Of great men, the whole
earth is the sepulchre." OF such an
American, the whole Republic is the
tomb. Often and often have we
borne our jealous witness to his
gigantic strength and Hurculean
tolls. We knew him well-and
never knew his peer in any admin
istrative office. He was the Oliver
Cromwell Of his country. A hun
dred years Of our national history
may pass away before the American
people "shall look upon his like
again." A great orator says, "Crit-
ical occasions unveil the lustre of
great spirits" 1t was his country's
peril that developed his lion-like
powers. Who is wise enough to
say that there lived any other man
in this nation competent to conduct
the War Department as this great
organizer conducted it? If Provi-
dence ever raised up any man for a
nations need, then Providence
raised up this man to be His chief
agent in the suppression Of the Re
bellion. 1t is trifling with the truth
of history to say that any other
person, either Lincoln or Grant,
was so much the conqueror Of the
great treason as the eagle-eyed war
minister who. throughout the war,
was the controlling master of both.
Nations are lost or saved by indi-
vidual men; and Edwin M. Stanton
was the one man who saved the Re-
public. Never too green can be the
laurel which crowns his fame-never
too white the marble which marks
his dust! The Congress of the
United States owes him monu-
ment. Let it be built during the
present generation-to show that re-
publics know how to be grateful.
By and by some eloquent pen OF
tongue ought to give to our lltera-
ture permanent eulogy Of his life
and labors. To day, while the bells
are tolling for his funeral, all patri-
otic hearts are too full to speak
fitly in his honor. We "come to
bury Caesar, not to praise him. -
Brave spirit, hail and farewell! I!

Married on Horseback.

Yesterday morning, just as servi-
ces were opening at the Congrega-
tional church, in this city, and as
Mr.. M. B. Wright was entering the
building, a lady and gentleman rode
up on pair of prancing horses, and
requested that they should see the
preacher. Mr.. Wright informed
them that services were opening in
the church, and that he would pre-
fer not interrupting the minister at
that time.
eyes, but" replied the gentleman,
"we must see him right away"
'sW hat do you want with him %
asked Mr.. Wight.
"We desire to get married i'm
mediately, and that, too, as we are,
just now, on horseback"
Mr.. w. wds somewhat surprised
at the strange demand Of the parties,
and although he felt desirous of
complying, as far as he could, with
their wishes, yet he doubted the
legality Of such a marriage, as also
did Rev. Mr.. Beakman. who hap
pened to be in the church, and was
called by Mr.. Wright for consulta-
tion in regard to the matter.
Judge jenkins was then called
out and interrogated as to the legal
ity of such wedding, The Judge
at once dissipated the doubts of
those who questioned the legality of
the marriage, and relieved the anxiety
of the couple, who were patiently
waiting for the ordeal.
Out on the street then, in front Of
the church, and while religious sep
vices were being conducted within
doors, with Judge jenkins and Mr..
Wright as witnesses, Mr.. Beakman
performed the marriage ceremony
for the happy couple, and the two
1romantic hearts we're united for veal
or woe, for the better or worse.
The lady was quit young and
beautiful ; the gentleman was much
her senior in years, but also fine
looking and manly, and the happi-
ness manifested by their faces when
the ceremony had been performed is
beyond description. Their names
were Ephraim Harbyast and Lizzie
Cook.-Kansas City Neacs.

suffrage by students, and by citizens
having visible admixture of Afri-
can blood, are measures so clearly
demanded by impartial justice and
public sentiment, that no argument
in their support is deemed neces
sary.
EXECUTIVE REPORTS.

quired by law of the pardons granted
during the year ending November
10, 1869, report of the expendi-
lures Of the Governors Contingent
Fund, COPIES of proclamations is

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The most important measure
which it will be your duty to con-
slider at your present session, is the
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States. I do
not feel called upon to discuss its
merits. The great body of that
part of the people of Ohio who sus-
tain the laws for the reconstruction
of the States lately in rebellion be-
lieve that the 18th Amendment is
just and wise. Many other citizens
who would support the amendment
if it was presented as the inaugura-
ton of new policy, in view Of the
fact that impartial suffrage is already
established in the States most largely
interested in the question, now re
gard the amendment as the bes
mode of getting rid of controversy
which ought no longer to remain
unsettled. Believing that the mea
sure is right, and that the people o
Ohio approve it, I earnestly recon
mend the ratification of the 15tl
Amendment to the Constitution. o

THE POOR.
BY JOHN JAMESON, NJ. D.

Sweet Angel of Mercy descend
From thy sphere of Celestial abode,
The Poor they are wanting Friend,
Descend on thy Heavenly road;
Bring with you the best gifts to man,
A heart rich with Charity's grace,
That will do whatever it can
In aiding the whole human race.
The wind through the narrow street sweeps
In cellars its whistle is heard,
Up tenement stairs it iercely leaps,
Its music is sad, and is fear'd.
The child in its ers:awakes,
The Mother stands grim with affrigth.
The Father with chilliness shakes,
AS fades the last lustre CT light.
The night with its aspect of gloom
Appears at the window or door,
And soon he invades the cold room
And mocks atsthe ills of the poor.
They shiver and shake in distress,
And wrap themselves upIn their rags,
Not having a shoe or dress,
AS ''beggars can't walk on the fags.''
The Miser he sleeps in his chair,
The Merchant is counting his gains =,
Rich Ladies have gone to the fair,
The Poor they are aching with pains.
In the halls of the great are array'd
Stout servants in tinsel and gold,
The dinner in silver is laid
But not for the poor and the old.
The snow-flakes are gathering fast,
On cottage, on steeple and mast,
In furs the gay and sleighers drive past
Unheeding the poor and the blast.
The children are crying for broad,
The parents are dying or weak,
Oh, Charity, where is thy tread,
Thy form, all so gentle and meek2
If Christians there be in this land,
Advance to the rescue-nor halt,
Extend to the Poor kind hand.
For poverty's not their own fault.
Give of your full store small part,
To the Orphan the Father and Wife;
Oh give, and enoble your heart
Their prayers willsattendyoti through lif

THE FATE OF JOE M'GINNiS.
A WARNING TO MOTHERS.

This horrible tale was related to
me by Archibald Haggerty, the
young gentleman who blacks my
boots:
s'Mr. Quill, you see Joe McGinnis
and me and lot Of us fel.ers was a
playin' metvels down to Pine street
wharf one day, and Joe McGinnis
had no luck He blowed on his
alley and said conjurin' over it, and
spit on it, and said fen everything
but 'twa'nt no use. for US fellers won
his commoners, and his bulls eye,
and his glass agate, and his white
alleys, till Joe jist busted out cry
in and went and sot down on
board and rubbed his fists into his
eyes like he was tryin' to gouge 'em.
And us fellers we didn't pay no ten
ton to Joe McGinnis, and we went
on playin' and a playin', and never
saw that Joe had gone and sot down
on a place were some feller had
been a shippin' this yere nitro glyc
crime. And that there stuff. you
know, Mr.. Quill, it had been and
leaked out all over that board on
which Joe McGinnis was ,sittin',
and the fust thing Joe McGinnis
knowed his pants was soaked with
nitro glycerine, like he had sot
down in the river. Yes, it was, and
Joe McGinnis when he felt it a git
tin damp he pranced home, and
thought he'd dry them pants of
his'n by this stove. But, you know,
old Mrs. McGinnis when she seed
Joe she was mad as fury, and she
just rose right up and snorted:
81 say, you Joe, you outrageous
willln where've you bin with them
there pants %
can then old Mrs. McGinnis she
just made a rush for Joe, Mr.. Quill.
and she grabbed holt of Joe, and
lay him across her lap this here way,
you know. Then she lifted up that
there number sixteen fist of hern,
intendin' to spank Joe McGinnis
like sin. But when she struck that
nitro glycerine, Mr.. Quill, wasn't
there regular bustin' out ofthings!
Je-ru- salem! / guess so! There
was kind of rumble and roar,
and rarin', tarin,' thunder and
lightnin' explosion, and then about
thirty billion earthquakes all run
into. one, and old Joe McGinnis was
blowed thro' the winder and the
door, and the fire place, in little bits
of chunks about the size of mar
vel, and he never knew what ailed
him, while Mrs. McGinnis went Il
pitchin' through the ceilin' and the
garret about ten thousand miles,
along with chairs and stove pipe,
and pans and tom cats, and soup
tureens and one thing or another;
and she never come down again,
she didn't: And that was what
allied Joe McGinnis and Mrs. Nc
Ginnis, as sure as you're born. And
now, Mr.. Quill, couldn't you give a
feller quarter for Christmas p
1t was sad fate, that of young
Joseph McGinnis; and what SOL
emn warning it conveys to m other!
How careful should every parent be
to examine her child's trousers with
chemical tests for nitro -glycerine be-
fore inflicting punishment. Let
mothers lay this lesson to heart, ,and
resolve hereafter to exercise loving
vigilance lest they, too, sho uld per-
lish as this wretched Mrs. McGinnis
did, without chance to get off any
last words.

sass that's given to you, and give none
back, cause your a boy. You are to
pay full fare in the cars and omni-

and never have seat, cause you're a
boy and not man. Fat woman gets

everybody looks at you. Old gentle
man says, My son" reproyingly. Con-
ductor says, Come now my boy" You

that's nothing. You've been on your
legs, with bundles, all day. Who cares
for that you'er boy. Now, a horse has
such load given to him as he can car.

than he can walk under. Ask boys
what grown folks think they can carry.

make as much fuss about such places
as if they were doing you favor that
would set you up for life. Who wants
