. A New Rendering OF an Old Text.

SPENDING a winter as invalids at Aiken,
South Carolina, the Hon. Thurlow Weed
and Mr. Thomas G. Acton whiled away
one Sabbath afternoon by attending ne
gro church, and were accompanied by
Mr.. John A. Kennedy, who was on visit
of few days TO Mr.. Acton. When they
entered the primitive temple the preacher,
who was a poor African, was graphing
with all the fervor of his race with the
old, cid subject of the fall of man. Sketch
ing that day in the garden with its terrible
results, he excoriated Mr.. Adam in this
fashion:
"Now, brederen, when the Lord calls
Adam to count did he STAN up like man,
confess his sin and ask forgiveness? He
didn't do muffin of de sort, brederen, but he
say; o-a !. woman dot Dor o,,bo.. nc
CUB me for to eat
Pausing a moment he repeated:
"'De woman dat Dou gubest me CUB me
for to eat
Then again:
"'De woman dat DoU gubest me CUB me
for to eat
"Dar, brederen, you see dat mean
skulkin' Adam was tryin' to sneak oul
of it by frowin' all de blame on de Lord
hisselfP
This new idea of an old question was
too much for the distinguished white
trash,' who had fortunately taken seats
n ar the door, and they retired into the
fields to indulge in irreverent laughter

Railroad Sixty Years Ago.

THE following letter, in reply to sug-
gestion concerning railroads, was written
by Chancellor Livingston, who had been
associated with his brother-in-law, Robert
Fulton, in the application of steam to
navigation:
ALBANr, March /, 1911.
DEAR SIR Il did not till yesterday re-
ceiye yours of the 25th of February
where it has loitered on the road am at
loss to say. i had before read of your
very ingenious proposition as to the rail-
way communications. / fear, however,
that on mature reflection they will be
liable to serious objections and ultimately
more expensive than a canal. They must
be double, so as to prevent the danger OF
two heavy bodies meeting. The wall on
which they are placed must be at least
four feet below the surface and three feet
above and must be clampei with iron, and
then would hardly sustain SO heavy a
weight as you propose moving at the rate
of four miles an hour on wheels. As to
wood, it would not last week. They
must be covered with iron, and that, too,
very thick and strong. The means OF
stopping these heavy carriages without
great shock and of preventing them run
ming on each other-for there would be
many running on the road at once-would
be very difficult In cases of accidental
stops, or necessary stops to tske wood and
water, etc, many accidents would happen.
The carriage for condensing water would
be yery troublesome. Upon the whole,
fear the expense would be much greater
than that OF canals without being so con-
venient.

The Boy that had no Remarkable
Quality.

Most bows who "get into the newspa-
pers" are very renadrkable boys.
"Joa" had nothing about his looks. or
actions, or color, that attracted the partic-
ular attention of any body.
When he first breathed the vital air, he
was simply boy-baby, with two hands,
two feet, two eyes, two ears, one mouth,
and one nose. He did not laugh and crow
and sit upright as young geniuses do In
their young babyhood, but he slept and
walked, and ate (baby food, of course) and
cried like any common baby.
When he grew older there were no un-
common developments, except that he
was fat and healthy and heavy.
Nobody congratulated his mother on
raising a future President, nor applauded
the bright genius that sparkled in the
baby's eyes. The gossipers looked won
deringly at each other as the tender
mother watched over her baby-boy, pro-
vided for his comforts, and pressed him to
her warm bosom.
He grew to boyhood, but he was only a
common boy. He learned his A B G with
difficulty, and was slow in learning to
read. His teacher thought he pever would
"get through the multiplication table. "
But he never forgot il.
When the boys went a-fshing, jos went,
to-; but he was slow in getting his hook
and line ready. The other boys were on
and in and around the lake before his hook
was fsirly settled in the water. "Too Glow
to move" the boys would say. Hell sit
there expecting the fish to come to him y
II was even so; he remained stationary and
fixed but when night came, somehow his
basket was always full, while many Of the
bright, talking geniuses went home with
the sad intelligence that the fish wouldn'
hite."
Joa's home was full Of life and noise
and hustle Of intelligent older children and
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-10-05

bright younger ones. Joa found himself,
and everybody else found him, solitary
and alone, taking very little notice of the
stir around him.
When he grew to be man, the bustling
drive-aheads laughed at his plodding; but
by some means he seldom made mis-
take, and, though he did not seem to &C
complish as much in q week as many
others did in a day, yet at the end of
year there was always something tangible
in his results, while the work of those
who seemed to utterly outstrip him at flrst
ended in demolished air castles.
He has passed the meridian of life.
Men eminent in the professions respect
his judgment. Business men coming upon
the stage of action long to learn the secret
of his success. The bank leans upon him
to carry it through the trying crisis, mer-
chants and manufacturers lean upon him
to save them from bankruptcy. Steady,
constant, and hard study made him q
scholar; persevering industry, accom-
panied with economy, raised him to opul-
ence; close observation and deliberate re.
Election cultivated a sound judgment, and
honesty and integrity secured for him the
confidence of all who knew him.

Miscellany.
Work During Sleep.

THOSE cases in which the brain is hard
at work during sleep, instead of being to-
tally oblivious of everything, may be call
ed dreaming or somnambulism, according
to the mode in which the activity displays
itself. Many of them are full of interest.
Some men have done really hard mental
work while at sleep. Condorcet finisL ed
train of calculations in his sleep which
had puzzled him during the day. In 1866
collegian noticed the peculiarities of a
fellow student, who was rather stupid than
otherwise during his waking hours, but
who got through some excellent work in
geometry and algebra during sleep. Cor
dillac and Franklin both worked correctly
during some of their sleeping hours.
The work done partakes, in many cases
more Of the nature of imaginative compo
sition than of scientific calculations. Thus
stanza of excellent verse is in print
which Sir John Herschel is said to have
composed when asleep, and to have recol.
lected when he awoke. Goethe often sci
down on paper, during the day, thoughts
and ideas which had presented themselves
to him during sleep on the preceding night.
A gentleman one night dreamed that he
was playing an entirely new game of cards
with three friends; when he awoke, the
structures and rules of the new game, as
created in the dream, came one by one into
