Henry GIaK.

Formerly a very large, well-known
and somewhat noted billy-gOat
roamed at large in the streets of
Washington, and the newspaper
boys, boot-blacks and street imps
generally made common game of
him. Henry Clay never liked to see
dumb animals abused or worried.
and on one occasion, while passing
down the avenue, a large crowd of
these mischievous urchins were at
their usual sport. Mr. Clay with
his walking-stiek drove them away,
giving them a sound lecture in the
meanwhile. AS they scampered end
scattered in every direction, Billy,
seeing no one but Mr.. Clay within
reach, made a charge ON him. Clay
dropped his cane and caught his
goatship by the horns. The goat
would rear up, being nearly as high
as the tall Kentuekian himself, and
the latter would pull him down
again. This sort Of sport soon be
came tircsome, and he could con
ceive Of no way by which he could
free himself from the two horned
dilemma, so in his desperation he
sang out to the boys to know what
to do. One OF the smallest in the
crowd shouted back: Let 60 and
run, you id fool!" Clay always
maintained that though he Signed
the treaty Of peace at Client, yet
that ragged boy knew more than he
did.

UNTOLD.
BY MARGARET E. ANesrER.


A face may be woeful white to cover a
heart that's aching;
And face may be fun of light over a
heart that's breaking.
'Tis not the heaviest gr eff for which we
wear the willow
The tears bring slow relief which only
wet the pillow.
Hard may be burdens borne though
friends would fain unbind them;
Harder are crosses worn where none
save Christ can finC them.
For the loved who leave our side our
SOULS are well nigh Tiyen
But ah for the graves we hide have
pity, tender Heaven!
Soft be the words and sweet that sOOthe
the spoken sorrow,
Alas for the weary feet that may not
rest tomorrow.

Education.

Every boy should have his head,
his hand and his heart educated.
Let this truth never be forgotten.
BY the proper education of the
head he will be taught what is good
and what is foolish, what is right
and what is wrong. By the proper
edueation Of the heart he-will be
taught to love what is good and
wise and right, and to hate what is
evil, foolish ana wrong. And by
proper education Of the hand he will
be enabled to supply his wants, to
add TO his comfort, and to assist
those around him. The highest
objects of a good education are to
love and serve mankind. Every
thing that hinders US is compara-
lively worthless. When wisdom
reigns in the head and love in the
heart, the man is ever ready to do
good.

Is Poverty a Crime.

Tit is, then there are many crim-
inals, for many are too poor to live
in any sort of deCen comfort.
The standard of honesty and ex-
cellence, in the minds of men, is
money. Give an individual plenty
of money-fH his barns full, aad
examine his title papers to broad
acres of land on which no. mort,
gage lies; and what a multitude of
faults are hidden beneath these
things. Wealth hides more sins
thar anything else. "He was q
poor, Bat an honest man.n All!
there it is, 'poOr' ysi 'honest,"
they say, as if the two conditions
were rarely allied. And that's the
way the world feels toward poverty.
Crime and poverty so hand in hand
in the minds of too many of US.
If men would learn to honor and
trust each other for their intrinsic
worth-their wealth of mind and
soul-their talent, genius, industry
sobriety, etc, be he rich or poor;
anl a lower estimate were placed
upon each other for their wealth Of
purse, we would all be wiser, hap
pier and better. Genius would oft
ener be rewarded and better appre-
ciated; "poor yet honest men be
stimulated to higher exertions, for
they would feel and know that hon
or, trust and profit might follow
such exertions. A man should be
honored and applauded for what he
is, not for what he has. It was not
your men Of wealth who gave to
the world the steam engine, the tel
egraph, the sewing machine, and
thousands of other useful and sci
entific inventions which have revo-
lutionized the whole civilized world,
but men ofpqverty, who live in OBJ
scurity, and under the ban of re-
proach on account of such poverty.
1t has ever bean thus, and we fear
will continue to be SO, for man by
nature is ungrateful, and money
runs the world. s--

prevent marriages that might be

when no Englishman was supposed
to know what he was about. The
Englishman of the last century was

account that the custom arose, of the
ladies retiring from the dining room
soon after dessert was brought on.
But this postprandially prostrate
fellow might arise, stagger to the
diningroom, propose marriage to
tie first pretty dame he met, and
command the services of the ever
present clergyman to tie the knot

A Western exchange hits the

at a reasonable hour, may more
conveniently turn around and exam

With all the characteristic energy
of the people Of this country, it is a
remarkable aHd lamcntable fact that
the children ofthose who have raised
themselves to social position and in
fiEence by their personal efforts, al
most Invariably waste what their
parents accumulated. With superior
advantages and a bright prospect
before them to occupy higher
place than their prudent, perseyer-
ing fathers, they fall by vice and
dissipation into neglect and absolute
nothingncss. Neglected opportuni-
ties is the sin of those who imagine
themselves something, when, at the
end of a useless life. they discover
themselves to be nobodies, II is
natural for parents to hope, pray
and labor for their children, With an
ambition to leave them useful and
prominent among men. But Deces-
sity alone develops power, and hon
est devotion in the steady pursuit OF
a reputation above reproach, Sc
cures what those who waste their
opportunities never obtain--a good
name.

About twelve years ago General
Grant occupied small farm near
st. Louis, the property of his father
in-law, and earned a scanty support
for himself and family as a shiftless
and sloveuly farmer, and by hauling
wood TO St Louis for sale-himself
driving the half-starved team. Ha
Nor was his poverty his worst
misfortune, deplorablc as that Ger
tainly was. He was at that time a
debased and apparently irreclaima-
BILE drunkard, and too often, with
the money for which he sold his
wood, got so drunk that he could
neither stand nor sit up, and had to
be tumbled into his wagon by the
police or some. sympathizing citizen,
and thus taken home by his docile
oxen.
He is now President of the United
States, after having filed success

Chief of the army through a large

shameful fact that the soldiers who
served nearly three years of the war
have received but $500 bounty, while
those who served but little more than
one year near its close have received

Various efforts have been made in

Blackmailing.

Some years ago, when novel read.
ing formed portion of our pastime,
we rendered to have read novel, by
Reynolds, in which his principal vii
lian, Ned Canton, was made to re-
mark that q man was a fool TO viol-
ate the law, when disposed to act the
scoundrel, because he could be so
much moanor and keep within tho law.
There is something noble about the
highwayman, or the burglar, or even
the petty pickpocket, when compared
10 the villain that floats in respectable
society, and keeps the law on his side.
The lowest down Of these is the
blackmailer, and the lowest specimen
of the blackmaiIer is the flaw hunter
tho man who examines your title
papers, and finds that the property
you have bought and paid for may,
by tccbnicality, be wrested from
you. 1t is not his; it never cost him
cent; but seeing that you overlooked
something, or that, perchance, the
clerk has failed to record your decd
in time, he seeks to buy this "faw"
for mere nothing, in order TO make
you buy your own property of him.
Human law can take no cognizance
if such creatures; but if the devil
don't catch them, he and his domin-
ions may as well bc abolished. We

Clover.

We are afraid of clover. We arc
afraid to raise it largely; afraid to feed
it extensively especially as main feed;
and afraid to plow It In.
This is wrong, very wrong; we arc
constantly losing by not growing
more clover; losing in many respects.
Clover, if we could only Impress tho
fact on the general farmer, is plant
that draws from the atmosphere and
enriches the land. Other plants do
this, but clover more; it has to do with
that most vital and important element
in manure. nitrogen, the very thing
that is the rarest and most difficult to
obtain. 1t improves the soil by its
roots alone, if the crop is used for
other purposes; this even if a seed
crop is taken. How much more ben
eft, then, ifa whole crop is turned
down containing so much nitrogenY
And you have tho manure without
working for it. The plant works for
itself and foryou. We get its strength
from free source, the atmosphere, the
great storehouse that gathers from all
sources, but most from the energetic
farmer.
And you can mako this plant work
for you on a poor soil. A little ma
nure applied on the surface will do
this; and if plenty of seed Is sown
there will be thick set. Then it
needs but chance with the atmos-
phore, and plaster will aid this great

A Great Oceanic Survey.


The government Is now planning
one or the most important and compre.
hensivo oceanic surveys ever under.
taken. Under authority OF recent
Congressional legislation the Bnrcau
OF Navigation is arranging the details
of an expedition whose mission will
bc TO examine and survey the waters
of tho Pacific and TO furnish materials
for accurately charting its vast surface
and countless islands.
1t has been but little more than
three centuries since yasco Nunez dc
Balboa, with rapt admiration, first
gazed upon this wondrous sea, and
Magellan navigated it and named it
from the fair weather that he met
with on his great voyage. But the
time that has intervened has not serv-
ed TO acquaint maritime nations with
the "Great Ocean," and already, in
this comparatively early stage. Of the
worlds commerce, we find so urgent
a demand for better knowledge Of it
that the principal European Powers
have instituted extensive explorations
of its immense waters, its winds and
currents and its innumerable but ever
changing archiplagoes. In the pro-
jected expedition Of our own govern
meDt the first step will be 10 survey
all that part of the Pacific running
from the coasts OF Lower California to
the northwestern boundaries Of the
United States, off Alaska and along
the Alcntian group OF islands, and
thence southwark To the Sandwich
Islands. One OF the interesting and
important physical phenomena that
will be brought under scientific review
in this preliminary exploration VIII be
the Sargasso Sea OF the Pacific, which
lies TO the westward OF the Lower Cal
liornia coast, ana is almost as distinct-
ly marked as the famous Sargasso
crossed by Columbus IN his hrst trans,
atlantic voyage. Inc expedition VIII
