me Two Dromios Of Memphis.

Mr.. Charles Farrow Smith, cotton
broker on Union street, fled petition
today in the First Circuit Court for the
purpose Of changing his name to Charles
smith Farrow, for the following reasons;
That the name Of Smith has become 80
universal that it scarcely serves to des-
ignate or identity any particular person
thst great trouble and confusion results
because Of the universally of the NAME
and he finds others Of precisely the same
name Of himself; hence his letters are
often taken from the postofhse through
mistake. and many complications and
sometimes unpleasant publications and
even rumors exist, damaging the peti-
toner because Of the identity Of the
name. Therefore, he respectfully re-
quests the court that an order be grant
cd changing bis name from Charles Far
ros smith to Charles Smith Fsrrow,
and be hereafter known, sue and be
sued under that name.

The Sweetness of Home.

He who has no home has not the
sweetest pleasure of life; he feels not
the thousand endearments that cluster
around that hallowed spot to fill the void
of his aching heart, and while away his
leisure moments in the sweetest of life's
joys. Is misfortune your lot, you will
find a friendly welcome from hearts
beating true to your own. The chosen
partner to your toll has a smile of ap-
probation when Others have deserted, a
hand of hope when all others refuse, and
heart to feel your sorrows as her own.
Perhaps smiling cherub with prattling
glee and joyous laugh, will drive all
row from your careworn brow, and en-
close it in the wreaths of domestic bliss.
No matter how humble that home
may be, how destitute its stores, or how
poorly its inmates are clad; if true
hearts dwell there, it is yet a home-a
cheerful, prudent wife, obedient and af-
fectionate children, will give possessors
more real Joy than bags of gold and
windy honors.
The home Of temperate, industrious,
and honest man will be his greatest Joy.
He comes to it weary and worn, but the
music of the merry laugh and the happy
voices of childhood cheer him. A plain
but healthful meal awaits him. Envy,
ambition and strife have no place there,
and with clear conscience he lays his
weary limbs down to rest in the bosom
of his family, and under the protecting
care of the poor mans friend and helper
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1871-11-02
False Education.

With the excellent means of educa-
tion we have, and the good use we some
times make of it, we are often negligent
of the advantages offered, and use the
very worst offered. A writer in Lippin-
colts Mdgaziae for October, in an excel
lent article on education, rebukes this
tendency to wrong and false education,
saying that the English nobleman who
sends to Paris for his daughters dresses
is reasonably certain that he, and his
daughters husband after him, can con-
tinue sending, and that in the training
of his child he is fostering no habit
which cannot be rightfully indulged in.
The American knows, if he knows any
thing, that the habits ofluxury in which
his child is reared unfit her for the du-
ties of the life to which she will in all
likelihood be called-that he cannot
hope that his family wealth will long
survive him, any more than his daugh-
ter will love man to whom that wealth
will be unimportant. Experience and
observation alike tell him that wealth
in this country rarely continues in a
family three generations, and that at
any time lie may find himself poor
man again. Yet he regulates his life
and that of his children as if his wealth
and theirs were assured forever, and as
though the habits of lifetime were to
be broken like wisps of straw. His
daughters are unfit to marry any but the
rich men they experience SO much diff.
Guilty in finding, and man of moderate
means is careful to avoid asking them
to change. their habits of life. There are
few sadder pictures than the one we see
when some such woman of braver heart
than most of her sex chooses the portion
of poor mans love ana vainly seeks to
adapt herself to life of which she has
hitherto known nothing. The habits Of
her girlhood bind her like strong fetters,
her ignorance of domestic duties weighs
her to the earth, the loss of social posi-
tion, or the feeble efforts she makes to
support it, wear out her life in bitter
repinings, until her health gives way
and she dies, leaving her faults to vex
the world in her children, and her vir-
tues undiscovered save by her husband
who hides from himself all else of her
memory.

Pocket Edition of a Town.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin, who has travelled sup country"
in California, writes thus:
Fifteen miles from the summit of the
Klamath Mountains, down the Salmon
River. is the small mining town of Saw
yer's Bar. tits the littlest mite of a
place, projected on the smallest scale, and
has things arranged in the snuggest
fashion l have seen in an American vii
lage for great while. 1t is as tight and
as trim and diminutive as any Swiss OF
German hamlet. There is scarcely two
rods width of bottom land, bordered by
a steep hill, and the town is only a few
rods in length; yet, in that extremely
small pl lce are enough people packed to-
gether to furnish school of over forty
scholars, church, stores, hotels, &C., be-
sides countless little patches of cabbages,
terraces of flowers or fruit, wee bits of
gardens, &c. The orchard of Mr.. Tan
ner is marvel of neatness, with its
pretty. square-hewn stone terraces, its
trelliced vines, Strawberries, melons,
peaches, borders of flowers, all on a space

his pocket, and yet big enough to have
yielded $l2O worth of fruit this year. !

memory.

In deserted shop in Pittsfield, Mass
achusetts, there rests on its block an an
vii that has done duty for more than
three hundred years. 1t is as sound to
day it was in 1858, when Eltweed
Pomeroy, after welding for the Stuarts
the ponderous horseshoes of the same
style and pattern that his ancestors had
made during generations for the Tudors
and Plantagenets, grew weary of taxes
without law, and work without wages,
and anvil in hand sailed for the new
world. A deft workman, he throve in
the settlements, and left his anvil as an
heirloom to his descendants. They show
you in the Tower of London the anvil
on which the sword was forged that
Richard CGur de Lion used in his contest
with Salada, and at the collection of
Pompeian excavations in Naples there is
an anvil, certainly older than the Chris
tian centuries, which, of precisely the
same shape we use, had evidently done
service for stalwart workmen of many
generations before the city was buried.
But, better still, in the Egyptian room
of the British Museum, there is verita-
BILE anvil of the Pharaohs. 1t is older
than Rome, older than Greece, older than
Jerusalem as old as the days of Abra-
ham, and probably in existence when
the patriarch "was come into Egypt
and the Egyptians beheld Sarai that she
was very fair" 1t is just like modern
anvil, made apparently in the same way
weighing about seventy-five pounds, and
sound as it was when first struck by the
hammer thirty centuries ago.

Irish Bulls.

1t was an Irishman who wanted to
find place where there was no death,
that he might go and end his days there.
1t was an Irish editor that exclaimed,
when speaking of the wrongs of Ireland,
4" Her cup of misery has been for ages
overhowing and is not yet full !" 1t was
an Irish newspaper that said of Robes
pierre that He left no children behind
him except brother, who was killed at
the same time" 1t was an Irish coroner
who, when asked how he accounted for
an extraordinary mortality in Limerick,
replied sadly, Il cannot tell. There
are people dying this year that never
died before" 1t was an Irish hand-bill
that announced, with boundless liberal
ity, in reference to great political de-
molstration in the Rotunda, that "La-
dies, without distinction of sex, would
be welcome"
