How to be Melody.

It is easy to be nobody, and we
will tell how to do it. Go TO the
drinking saloon TO spend your leis-
ure time. You need not drink
much now; just little beer, or some
other drink. In the mean time play
dOminoes chequers, or something
else to kill time, so that you will be
sure not to read useful books If
YOU read, let it be dime novels Of
the day. Thus go on keeping your
stomach full and your head empty,
and yourself playing time-killing
games, and few years you'll be mo-
body, unless (as ii is quite likely
you should turn out a drunkard or a
professional gambler either OF which
is worse than nobody, There are
any number Of young men hanging
about saloons, just ready to grada-
ate and be Olympia

Truth in social Relation.

Under this head comes the prac-
tice of making speech vary accord
ing to the person spoken 10; of pre-
tending to agree with the world
when you do not; Of not acting ac-
cording to what is your deliberate
and well advised opinion because
some mischief may be made Of il by
persons whose judgment in the mat
ter you do not respect; of maiRtain-
ing q wrong course for the sake OF
consistency; of encouraging the
show of intimacy with those whom
you never can be intimate with; and
many things of the same kind
These practices have elements OF
charity and prudence as well as fear
and meanness in them. Let those
parts corresponding to fear & mean
ness be put aside. Charity and pru-
dence are not parasitical plants
which require poles of falsehood to
climb up upon;extremely difficult II

WEIGHT AND MEAsURE.-"A
pint is q pound the world around,
runs an old adage; still we don't ex-
aetly see why our grOcers and ira
ders persist in adhering TO the I'M
practicable system of measure, IN
stead of weight in handling goods.
There are so many articles that can
not be conveniently measured, and
others that ought not TO be, that IL
seems singular that some agreement
is not entered into among retailers
by which the measure Of value shall
be determined by the unerrinG test
of weight. II is well enough, per-
hans, that lumber should be rated
by the measurement, but IL does not
that a peck of ruta-bagas, only one
of which can be got into a measure,
should be thus valued. Nor is there
any propriety in buying and selling
eggs by the dozen or fruit by the
quart. There seems TO be no good
reason why vegetables Of various
descriptions should be sold by the
bushel, peck or half peck, any more
than tea, coffee or sugar by the
quart. If eggs are sold by count
why not poultry, pigs and even beef
cattle? The principle is the same,
and there is comparatively as much
difference in the size and weight OF
eggs of fowls or animals. In some
parts of the country, at the South
and West, the word bushel and
quart is never heard in market, but
| All commodities are sold by weight.

JANUAH 4.

The world puts on its snowy vest.

asnator Logan.

The rumor that Senator Logan in
tended to take sides with Grant and
at an early day deliver speech IN
the Senate advocating Grants re-
election, is without foundation. He
stated that il was not his intention
to deliver a speech in the Senate IA
the interest of any candidate, and
that, until the different conventions
were held, he would not speak on the
subject.

MoNEY.-Remember that money
is of a prolific, generating nature
Money can beget money, and its on

Five shillings turned is six, turned
again it is seven and three-pence;

the more it produces every turning,

SELF TAUGHT,-Many men are
said to be self-taught. No man was
ever taught in any other way. DO
you suppose man to be a bucket,
to be hung on the wall Of knowl-
edge and pumped full? Man Is a
creature that learns by the exerton
of his own faculties. There are aids
TO learning of various kinds But
no matter how many Of these a man
be surrounded by, after all, Ihe
learning is that which he acquires
himself; and whether he Is in col
lege or out of college, in school or
out of school, every man must edu-
cate himself; and in our times and
in our community, every man has
the means of doing il.

Be YOU to others kind and true,

The Tragic history sE a ming.

Locomotive Engineer Jamison,
who s42s lately blown up by the ex-
plosion Of his engine on the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad, wore a
gold ring, set with seal, which his
two brothers had worn when killed
in two railroad accidents. The fatal
ring descended from brother to
brother until the last one had met
with q fearful death. IL has at last
reached their mother, who resides
at York, Pennsylvania, in whose
hands it will ever rest as q melan-
choly reminder of their tragic end.
Mr.. Jamison was the only support
of his widowed mother and two sis
tiers, to whom he forwarded month
" nearly all his earnings.

Nothing on earth can smile but
