Because-every soul
Feels incessant desire
To give 10 some other

Because-May gives music
To murmuring streams,
And night, TO our pains,

The bird 10 the bower,
And morn drops the dew
In the cup OF the flower;

Falls asleep on the strand,

A kiss 10 the land
For these reasons. my own,
My heart is inclined
TO give the best

My griefs, and my fears
Take these, as the earth
Takes the nights shower Of tears.
OF ny infinite longing,
Take, dearest, thy part;
Take my light and my shadow,

Take the unalloyed trust
Which our intercourse blesses;
And take all my songs,
With their tender earesses.
Take my soul, which moves en-
Without sail or oar,
But pointing 10 thee
As its star eyerInore.
And take, o my darling,
Ny precious, my own,
This heart, which weuld perish,

Farmer Plez B., who lives in the
interior of this State, is a penurious
old fellow, but his wife, Sally is ex-
travagant. Sally went to town one
day, taking a good deal of money
with her, and on reaching home she
had but nickel left. AS she hand
ed the solitary nickel to the old man
his face grew livid, he cursed and
tore around like a madman, and
ended by pitching the nickel into
the fire. He didn't speak to Sally
again that day or that night, but af-
ter he had gone to bed he rolled and
tossed till about 4 O'Clock the next
morning, at which hour he sprang
out upon the floor with a suddenness
that nearly awakened the slumber-
ing Sally. Without stopping to
dress himself, he struck light and
got the sieve, then kneeling on the
hearth he filled the sieve with ashes
and began to sift. Working away
in this manner for some time, he all
at once uttered a cry OF joy, which
so startled Sally that she yelled from
under the bedclothes, "What on
earth's the matter Plez-what are
you making such a fuss abOut?"-
"Oh, Lord, Sal" cried Plez. ''I've
found it! I've found it," "Found
what?' shouted Sally. "Ohr'

. In the first place, let us consider
the smallest quantity that can be
seen, namely, the minimum Visible.
This evidently can be divided in
to two parts, which alone have no
visible effect on the eye; but each
must have some invisible effect, since
both together produce the minimum
visible. We may see a forest green;
here each leaf is not perceived, yet
each has its effect on the eye. So it
is in respect TO the organ of hearing.
Each component part of the mini
mum audible has its effect. Going
out upon the sea-shOre, we hear the
"dark and deep blue ocean roli";
here we do not perceive each small
est sound; each has its effect, though
unperceived. Hence we pass to the
same conclusion generally in regard
to all the senses.

According to the census report of
Mr.. Richard Edwards, Chicago,
there are 28,639 American and %, 738
German families in that city-there-
fore, beyond a doubt, more Germans
than Americans, because the Ger
mans on an average have more chill
dred than the Americans.

Anecdote of Fisk.

The following story is told about
James Fisk, Jr. a man called at the
door of the Erie Railroad Office, on
Twenty-third street, New York, on
Friday week, and insisted upon see
ing Mr.. Fisk. Nobody else would
do. He must see the Colonel. He
was ushered into the private Office
and granted a private audience.
81 am a Sing Sing convict, sir" he
said. Il was sent to prison for four
years, and by good conduct l short
ened my term by six months. Yes
terday l was discharged and want
to get to my home in Buffalo. Will
you please give me q pass:"
The Colonel inquired for proofs
of the story, and satisfied that the
fellow was telling the truth, he
burst out with the interrogation:
"Had anything to eat since dinner?'
''NO, sir, nothing"
''Mr. Conner, please fill out pass
TO Buffalo for this man and give him
so. l don't care if such acts do i'm
poverish me; money was created to
use.' Turning to the suppliant,
then, he said: "And now, young fel-
low, when you feel tempted to steal
again Just write me what you want
and I'll supply them. Keep honest
if YOU want to live. Good-bye!i
and the man, with expressions OF
gratitude, took his leave.

XIV.-'Ts attention only a vOlun-
tary act? Does Hamilton affirm or
deny? Of what three degrees or
kinds is attention."
Itis sometimes voluntary and at
others not, according to Hamilton.
Its degrees are, first, a mere Volun-
tary and irresistible act; second, q
determined act, voluntary or not;
third, a mere voluntary act.
XV.-"What are the three grand
laws under which consciousness can
be legitimately applied to the con-
sideration of its own phenomena
Explain them"
XVI.-"What DO you understand
by the Duality ofconsciousnes? How
do natural Dualist differ from Hypo-
thetieal?"
In considering an object we recog-
nize the existence of the Ego, and
of something different from the
Ego. Natural Dualists are those
who accept the duality Of corscious-
ness in its integrity.
XVII.-"Are we always con-
sciously active?" We are. How is
this fact refuted or established"
We know from experience that
we are always consciously active
while awake. Hamilton caused
himself to be walked at different
times, and was always consciously
active. We sometimes, forget our
dreams. But il is the difeTentia of
somnambulism to be forgotten; and
the mind is sometimes, at any rate,
active in that state. We can prove
the fact in question from our own
experience.
XVHI.-"E1plain what you mean
by Mental Latency. What are its
three degrees?"
The mind contains more latent
furniture than consciousness in
forms us il possesses. This is called
Mental Latency. Hamilton distin-
guishes three degrees of it. The
energies Of the mind must not be
estimated by its present activities;
but by the amount of its acquired
habits. For instance, we know a
language at all times, though we
may call il into action onlyDow and
then. 1t is latent until, by an act of
volition, we call il into exercise
Still we may safely be said to be ac-
quainted with it. Secondly, Whole
systems sometimes, in the normal
state Of the mind, lie latent; but, in
the abnormal, suddenly rush into
consciousness, and take such decided
possession as to exclude that knowl-
edge which before had acquired the
ascendency. These irregular states
are sickness in general, and particu-
larly fevers. The third degree of
Mentol Latency is treated of in an
swering'the question, care there, in
ordinary, mental notifications OF
which we are uncoRscions?" II
may be asked, in objection to this,
two questions, viz: How can con-
sciousness inform us of that which
is beyond its reach? and how can
consciousness arise out of uncon-
sciousness, knowledge from igno-
rance? AS TO the first, in consider
ing a question, consciousness in
forms us of modification, and if
there is a modification, then there
must be a change of state, a change
from ignorance to knowledge. The
second is answered by a special con-
sideration

II.-AssOCIATIoN.

IL +AoDOAAa w.
1t is a fact, enunciated by that
most philosophical of the Christian
Fathers, St. Augustine, that things
which have once co-existed in the
mind are afterwards associated
Suppose A and c have no connec-
tion, and the thought of A suggests
c. There must be some connecting
link. Thus far philosophers are
agreed. Reid holds that the con-
Meeting link B rose into conscious
ness, but was Immediately forgotten.
The only valid explanation which
can be given Of this is on the theory
of Mental Latency.
Iu.-ACoURED DExTERITIEs.
When a thing is often repeated
or in rapid succession, there is a
certain acquired dexterity,, on ac-
count OF which the mind Is not
wholly confined to what is being
done. Now this is explained in
three ways. The first theory is, that
the process is mechanical or auto
matte. The second, that there is a
separate act of volition for every
action. The third adapts the gold
en- mean, according to the mind an
oversight of the whole act.
XIX.-"Enumerate some OF the
peculiar difficulties and facilities of
psychological investigation"
Some of the difficulties are as fol-
lows: 1st. No fact can be taken on
credit. Each one must investigate
for himself. I'd. The facts must be
studied from memory. Sd. In physi-
study,
BY mutual confidence and mutual aid,
Great deeds are done and great discoveries
made;
but in psychological investigation,
the student must study for himself;
he must turn the mind in upon it
self, and prove for himself. Its fa-
cility is that the mind is unity, and
the only thing to be considered.
XX.-"Give a tabular view of the
distribution of the cognitive facul-
ties"
1. Preventative. External-Per-
ception. Observation-Disclosures
ness.
2. Conservative;-MemOry proper.
5. That by which our knowledge
is recalled from unconsciousnessi into
consciousness. Without will-Sug-
gestion. With will-Reminiscence.

Some MOre.-If the NJ. G. & i. NJ.
Railroad is not soon moved twill not
be the fault of the newspapers, inclu-
ding our own, for they have regular
weekly announcements that the
work is soon to commence. We have
faith now as we always have had.
Here are two items on the subject, ,one
from the Mansfield Herald and the
other from the Bryan Press:
tThere are frequent queries about
the delay in laying the iron and other
work on this road, both here and al
Tifin. We are assured from head
quarters that the delay is not real
that the preparations are being COM
pleted so that when they commence,
the whole work will be completed in
a very short time. There is but little
cleaning up of the old work now to be
done between here and Toledo"
IGMr. Durbin, of Pioneer, was al
Mansfield last week, looking after the
interest of the Mansfield q Coldwatel
Railroad. In consultation with tbs
officers of the road, he received greai
encouragement in regard to the early
completion Of the line. The Officers
| informed him that they would b,
ready to lay the track in two weeks
Mr.. Durbin says that the entire grad
ing Of the road through this county
will be completed in about twenty
days. They are employing 200 hand!
az nraeant and will Dush the WOrl
forward as rapidly as possible" /"

Stock Fair.-We have but little to
say in addition to what we gave last
week in re gard to the Fair. On both
Thursday and Friday the weather was
very pleasant and the attendance was
good, although not as large as 1t should
have been.
Thursday the first race, track heats,
best three in five, for four year old
horses, was won by Mansfield Gold
Dust. The following were the con-
testants: ]. C. Peck's Richland, Sam
uel Miller's Midnight, Delaney's
Mansfield Gold Dust. Gold Dust won
the first, second and fourth heats in
1921, lbs and 1:SO, and Richland the
the third heat in 1:31.
The second race, for horses that
never beat three minutes, best 2 in 8,
mile heats, was won by Ohio Girl,
she taking the first and second heats.
Time-3:15, 2;5S.
Friday the first race was for Green
Trotters, in which three horses start
ed. One was distanced on the second
heat and another ruled out for run
ming, and the race was given to n. NJ.
Runyan's Queen. She beat easily.
The second race was for a purse o.
$500 and open to all. Black Mack
Lady Crowder, Inch Worm and Dock
were entered. Black Mack took the
first two heats easily, Lady Crowder
coming in third on the first and last
on the second heat. Dock took the
second money. The time was very
poor, about 2:45.
The proceeds of the Fair were abou
3, 500, considerably less than it ough
to have been. As regards the exhibi
ton there was a much finer show o
stock than last year; it was superb
The races were not as good. Thi
stste of facts leads us to the remarl
that, disguise it as you will-moraliz
/ on the wickedness of races as mucl
as you chOose--it is an undeniabl
fact that good races are what tn
people want to see, and If such are no
, to be had they will not attend fairs
, 1t has been well demonstrated at ou
fairs this year and only fixes US in tn
: belief we have long held. To maxi
such a fair a success-hnancially-
good races should be the Ieadin
feature and fine stock one Of the ad
tiuncts.

A Novel Arrest.-A peculiar arrest
took place on the Fair Grounds on
Thursday Of last week. A gentleman
was passing along the sheep stalls,
examining the stock, when he came
to two young men who were sitting
on one OF the stalls. One of them pat
out his foot in front of this man,
bringing him to a sudden halt.
He is somewhat fiery and told the
young man if he did that again lie
would jerk him off tine fence, quail
flying the statement with language
that was very foreible. The young
man defed the gentleman and showed
out his foot again. The result Of his
second impudience was that he was
jerked from his seat with a grip and
4 eelerity that showed him that he was
/ in the wrong hands. Thereupon this
young man told the gentleman if the
affair was up town he would have him
arrested; and the other fellow said
he would be witness. The gentle
man told them that he was ready to
60 before the Mayor with the matter.
| The young men thought they had a
soft thing as there were two witnesses
against one, and all started for the
Mayors Office. When at the Court
House yard, one Of the young men,
the would-be-witness, told the other
parties he wanted to go in the Court
House to see some one. The gentle
man with them ordered him to come
along, that he might consider him
self under arrest. Here comes a con-
Tersation:
WOuld-be-Witness.-"WhO the h
are you? Did if you can arrest me
/ You have no police badge on?"
: Gentleman-''COme on never mind
, who am. I want you to come with

Cutting AfIray.-On Thursday night
last, very late, a fellow named Mulford,
from Benton, Crawford Co., entered
the Commercial House, Of this city,
and wanted to stay all night. Clerk
Startsman told him that tie house
was ull and he would have to seek
quarters elsewhere. Milford was
drunk and insisted upon staying, but
Startsman told him that there was no
room and he could not stay. He
placed his hand on Mulford's shoulder
and told him TO go as the house must
be closed. Mulford drew knife and
struck at Startsman several times
cutting his coat and vest in a dozen
places, and the last stroke with the
knife took effect in the center ol
Startsman's breast, inflicting an ugly
and painful wound about four inches
long. Mulford then ran of, but was
soon found and put in the calaboose

A severe accident occurred at Green
Springs, Wednesday afternoon, the
particulars Of which are as follows:
Hermon Baker and wife, with two
children, had just got seated in their
spring wagon, when the horses be-
came frightened and started at break
neck rate, running down Main Street
towards the depot, and when near
the railroad crossing the wagon over
turned precipitaing the occupants into
the road.
The most serious feature Of this
accident however, was that after the
above horses had run away, they
were followed Immediately after by
another runaway team, belonging to
Chas. Bowerman. The latter followed
so close to the former, that it ran COM
pIetely over Mrs. Baker, without how
ever producing very serious injury to
that lady. The driver, Mr.. Bower
man, however, was thrown out imme-
diately after starting, the wagon pas
sing over his head causing very serious
external injuries, and it is feared by
DR.. Brown, who attended the unfor-
tunate man, that conclusion Of brain
will result.
The teams ran into each other, after
going about two miles, causing q gen.
eral smash-up.
