U The following story, which is going
the rounds, though rather hard Oh edit
ors, We have no doubt is rather too true,
as we'll IA good to be lost:
Soon after Chief Justice Chase assum-
ed the gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he is
sued his proclamation appointing q
thanksgiving day. To make sure of be-
ing orthodox. the Governor composed
his proclamation almost entirely of pas
sagcs from tue Bible, which he did not
designate.as quotations, presuming every
one would recognize them and admit the
fitness of the words as we'll as his taste
in their selection. The proclamation
meeting the eye of Democratic editor,
he ponneed at once upon it-couldn't
exactly say where-but he would take
his oath that it was downright plagi-
aris,p from beginning to end. That
would have been pretty fair joke; but
the next day the Republican editor came
ont ialisutly in defense of the Governor,
pronouncing the charge lihelous, and
challenging any man living to produce
one single line of the Proclamation that
had ever appeared in print before.

A Sermon for Young LaGfes.

Don't never 60 hunting for PLEASURES
They cannot be found thus, know
Nor yet fall q digging for treasures,
Uuless with the spade and the hoe.
The bee has to work for his honey,
The dro2e has no right to the food,
And he who has not earued his money.
VIII get Of his money no good.
The ant builds her house with her labor,
Tie squirrel looks out from his mast,
And be who depends on his neishbor,
VIII never have friends first OR last.
In short, 'tis NO better than thieving,
Though thief is hard name to call,
Good tbiugs 10 be always receiving,
And never give back at all.
And do not put off till tomorrow
The thing thatyou ought to DO now,
But first set the share in the Surrow,
And then set your hand to the plow.
The time u too abort to be waiting,
The day Iraketh haste to the night,
And it's just as hard to be hating
Your work as to do it outright.
Know this, too, before you are older,
And all tie fresh morning is gene.
Who puts to the worlds wheel skoulGer
Is he that will move the world oa
Don't weary ont will with delaying.
And when you are started don't stop;
Believe me, there's truth il the esiyiuE,
There always Is room at tho top.
To conscience AID to man be true,
Keep faith, hope. and love il your breast
Ard when you have done al you cau DO,
Why. to them you may trust the rcet.
