the end of the war, what stockholder would
not have been willing to renounce all hopeof
dividends for eight or ten years? Had that
been done, the President and Directors,
freed from public complaint and speculative
claraor, would have found fewer obstacles In
their path, and would by this time have
been able, we believe, to give the stock
holders modest dividend. The price OF
the stock would have advanced quietly and
regularly. The stock, which sold at 80

Republican Success.

THE country has had but two Republi-
can Administrations-th four years of
that of Mr.. Lincoln, and three years of
that of General Grant. 1t is true we had
a Republican Congress during the Admin
istration of Andrew johnson, but its
plans were so far thwarted by his treach-
cry that the party could consider itself
but partially responsible for the acts and
character of the Government in that term.
The Administration of Mr.. Lincoln was
charged with the duty of suppressing an
armed rebellion against the Constitution
and the Union. With what ability and
fidelity it fulfilled it's trusts, we need not
say Its record is one of which no party
need be ashamed. The Administration of
General Grant was charged with redeem
ing the National debt and establishing our
unimpaired credit General Grant found
the national debt of So, 522, ,463, ,260, less
cash in the Treasury. On this the nation
was paying monthly interest of $40, 532, :
462. In three years from the day General
Grant took the chair, the monthly debt
statement shows reduction of the debt
of nearly three hundred millions Of dollars.
Our bonds, which, at the close of John
sons Administration sold for about SO
cents on the dollar in gold, are now above
par in gold. Their value has been en-
HANGED over three hundred millions of
dollars to the holders. And yet the De-
mocracy, with few malignant faultfind-
ers, keep up growl of discomfort at Gen
eral Grants financial management A
party must be judged by its success in
what it undertakes, by the way in which
it does its duty to the country. Has not
the Republican party gained right to
the confidence of the country Toledo

Avoid all induloence. "a ho,.. :.

Avoid all indulgences and habits of
which you would be ashamed TO have
your mother know. Strive to keen well
and grow strong, for healthy souls live in
healthy bodies. Narrow chests, stoop-
shoulders and weak backs are fosterers
of moral cowardice and mental weak
ness.
Never consider your education finished;
add to it every day. Mind makes the
man. Your mind is one vast storehouse
in which there is always room. Your
value is rated by what you k7aOao, do and
are. An undeveloped, uncultivated man
is of little use to himself or others.
Observe people and study human ma
ture. Learn application, also. Correct
yourself by what you see agreeable or
disagreeable in others. Exercise kind
ness toward all. Have kind and CHEEKY
word for every one; make some one hap
py every day; do not wound the feelings
of your comprehension can not love
them too much. Be merciful to animals;
a child who tortures helpless creatures
and teases other children will grow up
brutal and cruel. Love is the best law;
have animals gladly flock around you,
and younger children look upon you
as true friend. Be patient with your
companions, sympathize with them, try
to help them, gently correct their faults,
and love them. Gain love by giving love.
Serve and love God, and obey his laws.
Take Christ for your pattern; work for
humanity as He worked, love as He loved.
Strive to be better, nobler, holier than
you are.
Govern your tongue, temper and ac-
tions. Conquer your faults; cultivate
firmness; learn to say NO! when tempted
to do wrong; think before you speak; be
sure you are right, and stand like rock;
practice self-control; cultivate go-aheada-
tiyeness; be leader in the fight for the
good and true: respect the rights of others,
and be courteous.
heep yOurselues pure. Think how noble
it would be to grow up as pure as when
you began to walk-purs in words and
thoughts. Every one of you can be purer
and wiser than you are. Avoid every
act, word and thought which you would
be ashamed to tell to those you love and
respect most Avoid low, bad company;
do not tell or listen to vulgar, obscene
stories. God made nothing impure or
unclean.
Your happiness and nobleness depend
on clear conscience, contentment and
cheerfulness; on something to do, to love
and to hope for. Cultivate good habits !;
be generous learn to live, to love, to for
give and to be pure Educate and care
for your bodies, brains and hearts and
remember, ''Self-made, or never made"
Boys and girls, the world needs strong,

Velocity of Meteoric Stones.

In Professor Nordenskiold's account of
the aerolitic shower which took place
near Hessle, in Sweden, on the 1st of
January, 1869, he mentions as a remarka-
BILE fact that stones weighing two pounds,
which struck the ice of the Larsta- Vixen,
failed to penetrate, making holes only
three or four inches deep in the ice and
rebounding
The small velocity retained by these
stones, at the time of striking the earth
is, doubtless, owing to the resistance of
the air, and, consequently, is not an indi-
cation of the velocity which they had
upon entering the atmosphere. .-Ndture.
The interest of the above, says the
american Gas Light Journal, lies IN the
fact that many meteorites have been
proved to pass into the atmosphere with a
swiftness more than ten thousand times
greater than that of the swiftest cannon
ball. The flame that attends their pas
sage is believed to be due to heat produc-
ed by their compression of the air in front,
as in the fire syringe" The writer has
before suggested that, if cannon ball
could be projected with this velocity, it
would burn up instantly as a streak of
intensely brilliant flame. The prObabili-
ty is that the impulse necessary, however,
to impart such velocity to a cannon
ball would grind it to powder in overcOm-
ing its inertia We have also before
thrown out the idea that aerolites which
reach the earth are such as have had
their velocity so reduced by friction that
they become cooled below the vaporizing
point before reaching the earth. The
comparatively low velocities above
recorded are thus easily understood.
Much must depend on the angle at which
they first strike the atmosphere. Some
think that, in meteoric showers, they
merely flame through the outer edge of
the atmosphere, ami shoot on in their
appointed paths, like messengers from
the outer universe who merely call to
take look at the earth in passing but it
may be, on the other hand, that these
falling stars" are altogether consumed
or dissipated, reaching us only as i'm

Fillmore Administration. The Demo-
Gratis found their pet in the full vigor of
early manhood in 1852. No attempt was
made at reform during the next eight
years. Then came the rebellion, during
which the Government was so busy at
the front that the thieves on the frontier
had full swing, or nearly so. Under
President johnson the height of corrup-
ton was reached. President Grant found
a ring in power which was nearly as old
as himself Having in his youth been
stationed ON the Plains, he understood the
Indian ring as no other President ever
had. Through Indian Commissioner
Parker, and special commission COM
and w. E. Dodge, he commenced raid
on the ring. He also summoned to his
aid the Quakers. With them friendship
to the Indians is enjoined as special re-
ligious duty. Their ecclesiastical ma
chinery is eccentric on this point. With
this three-fold alliance, the Administra-
tion set about the work of Indian reform.
So complete has been its success that
Congressman Beck, of Kentucky, leader
of the Democracy, has recently publicly
testified TO its thoroughness.
3. The next great reform is still incom-
plete. Our Civil Service system was de-
bauched into party hack at the same
time that the Indian ring was born. After
considerable preliminary work, the ma
chinery of reform was set in motion with
the last new year. 1t will require time to
carry out what has been begun. The ini-
tial steps were taken against the protests
of professional politicians, and could the
inner workings of events be laid bare,
we should see that the Administration
had harder work to inaugurate this reform
than to carry out the other two-so stub
born is patronage, and so hard is it to lose
that layer of golden eggs. What this
Presidential term began, the next will
have to finish.
4. The reduction of the debt, coupled
as it has been with a corresponding re-
duction of taxes, is the most conspicuous
merit of these three years. The reduc-
ton has been, in round numbers, at the
rate of 500, 100000 per annum. Not
only has this been coupled with reduced
taxation, but with marked general thrift
There has been no financial crisis; times
are by no means 'thard." All sections
and classes are very prosperous. The
people have bettered their condition dur
ing the last three years as much as the
Government has.
There are other points that might be
mentioned, but these four will stand out
in history with special prominence, and
win for the present Administration the
proud distinction of having wrought
more reforms, and more important ones,
than any two of its predecessors. &c Chicago

Poetry.
so GOES THE WORLD.


Our varied days pass on and on,
Our hopes fade unfulflled away,
And things which seem the life of life,
Are taken from us day by day;
And yet through all the busy streets
The crowd Of pleasure-seekers throng,
The puppets play, the Snowman calls,
And so the world goes on,
/, Our little dramas come to naught:
Our lives may fail, our darling plan
May erumbie into nothingness,
: Our arnsest castle fall to sand;
Ana yet they sing and dance,
Tne money-makers laugh and shout,
11e stars, unmindful, still shine bright,
Unconscious that our light is out,
And SO the world goes onl
The house grows sad that once was gay;
The dear ones seek their Blessed Home.
And we may watch and wait in vain
To hear their well known footsteps come:
And yet the sunlight checks the floor,
AND makes the summer shadows long,
The rosebnds at the easement bloom,
The bird po1rs forth his cheerful song,
And SO the world goes onl
And Sod goes on, and with our woe,
Weaves golden threads of Joy and peace,
Guarding within his heart Of hearts,
Our days of pain, our days of case
He marks them all-the seed the sheaves,
The dancers smile, the mourners tears,
And keeps them safe-His children all
Through all these vernal years,
And SO the world goes oni

LONDON complains that the luxury OF a
glass of pure water is denied TO the
wealthiest community in the world.
There is no constant supply IN any
part of the city, and the sediment from
sewerage is retained in cisterns for weeks
and months. The query is pertinently
made in an English paper, "Why do not
the temperance advocates come to our
aid q? For how caR a vast population,
supplied with such an eXecrable fluid, be
expected to be a temperate and water
drinking population ?"

New Invention.

THE Girard CosmOpolite says that, at a
certain station on the Philadelphia & Erie
Railroad, the company has a new night
telegraph operator, who, if inclined to
slumber, is too ingeniously wide awake
to be caught mapping at his post. Re
Gently he was seized with drowsiness
which he could not shake off. As it was
his duty to report all passing trains, he
dare not yield, and yet could not resist.
The mother of invention, necessity, at
length suggested an alarm signal, which
he proceeded to put into operation by
suspending a scuttle full of coal, by means
of a cord which was passed through the
keyhole of his Office door, and fastened
across the track at the requisite elevation.
Mr.. Operator then resigned himself to
rosy dreams, which were finally inter
rupted by passing train, the engine of
which snapped the cord, causing the
scuttle TO come down with a rattlety-bang
that would have aroused even a sleeping
| Erie policeman. Another young opera
tor, some thirty miles up the road, let
| train slip by him the same night, and ap-
piled TO the inventor of the coal scuttle
alarm TO know when the train passed his
station. No answer was vouchsafed, the
inventor remarking "Why don't the darn
ed fool get the right to use my patents"
MORE novelties are the result of acci-
dent than is generally supposed. The or
igin of blue-tinted paper came about by
a mere slip of the hard. William East,
an English paper-maker, once upon a
time set his men 10 work, and went away
on business. While the men were at
/ dinner Mrs East accidentally let q blue
| bag fall into one OF the watts of pulp.
Alarmed at the occurrence she determined
! to say nothing about it. Great was the
astonishment of the workmen when they
saw the peculiar color of the paper, and
/ great the anger of Mr.. East when he re-
/ turned and found awhole vat of pulp had
been spoiled. After giving the paper made
| from il warehouse room for four years,
| Mr.. East sent il up to his agent in Lon
/ don to be sold ''for what it would fetch"
For what il will fetchm said the agent,
misunderstanding the meaning; ''well, it
certainly is a novelty, but he must not
expect too much" So he sold the whole
at a considerable advance upon the mar
ket price, and wrote to the mills for as
much more as he could get. The sur
prise of Mr. East may be imagined. He
hastened to tell his wife, who found cour-
are to confess her share in the fortunate
/ accident. and to claim a reward, which
she received in the shape of a new cloak
Mr.. East kept his secret, and for short
time supplied the market with the novel
/ tint. until the demand far exceeded the
! supply, and other makers, discovering
the means used, competed with him.

In Utah, during the past winter, some
travellers saw dog standing by the side
of telegraph pole. The appearance of the
animal struck them, for, as they rode up
toward it, it did not move nor give any
signs of life, but stood as motionless as if
carved out of stone. A closer inspection
revealed the fact that the dog was frozen
to death. He had died leaning against
the telegraph pole, and stood as naturally
as if alive.

Sin the Wrong Pew"

REV. ROBERT CoLLYER "got into the
wrong pew" at Manchester, N. H., the
other evening. In other words, he got
into a hall in which a Democratic meet
ing was assembled, instead of the hall
where he was appointed to lecture. The
Boston AdrertiSer thus relates the story,
as told by himself on opening his lecture
at the right hall: "He came in late to the
hall with broad smile upon his face,
and when he explained, the audience
smiled also. He said he had met with
difficulties since his arrivalin Manchester.
When he reached the Manchester House
he found no lecture committee, but learn
ed the Chairman had been there in search
of him. So he directed the hackman to
drive him to the lecture hall. Arrived at
the hall, he found no committee there to
greet him, but an immense audience; even
aisles were packed. But he had never
before had an audience who kept their
hats on. He made his way to the plat
form, and the audience looked at him,
evidently thinking he was somebody. He
looked at them, and thought it was the
most remarkable lyceum audience he ever
saw. The female portion looked as If
they were natives of Ireland, and the
men looked as if they came from the
same country too. Presently several
gentlemen came and took seats on the
platform, one or two nodding to him.
Then one got up to introduce the speaker,
but he did not mention his name. He
said he was resident of South Carolina,
and Mr.. Collyer began to think he did not
mean him; but when he said he would ad-
dress them upon the unadvisability of re-
electing President Grant, he was sure of
it. He then made his escape as soon as
possible, was met by the lecture commit
tee and escorted to the right hall"

their names rhyme, occasionally don't
quite harmoniZe, as witness the follow

Who was smashed on youth in New Bedford
