Az ITEM FOR BoYS-lt is not neces-
sary that a boy who learns trade Is
compelled to follow it all his life. Gov
ernor Palmer, of Illinois, was country
blacksmith once, and began his political
career as a constable in Macoupin coun-
ty. A circuit Judge in the central part
of Illinois was once a tailor. Thomas
Havne rich and eminent lawyer OF IL
linois, was once bookbinder, Erastns
Corning, of New York, too lame to do
hard labor, commenced as a shop boy in
Albany. When he applied for employ
ment first he was asked :-"Why, my
little boy, what can You do :" "Can do
what | am bid, was the answer that
secured him place. Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts, was shoemaker ;
Thurlow Weed q canal boat driver en-
Governor Stone, of Iowa. was cabinet
maker, which trade the late Hon. Ste
phen A. Douglas also worked at in ms
youth. Large numbers of mon of prom
inence now living have risen from hum
bic life by dint of industry, without
which talent is as useless as a gold coin
on barren island. Work alone makes
men bright, and it does not alone de
pend on the kind of work you have to
do whether YOU rise or not. 1t depends
on how you do it.

A MornER's WoRK.-Many a dis
couraged mother folds her tired hands
at night. and feels As ifshe had after all

an idle moment since she rose. II it

time since in New Haven from n most
singular cause Some years ago he was
attacked with insanity, and was sent To
the Insane Retreat in that city. While
there he pushed 4 watch-key up his
nose and after his recovery informed
his physicians what he had done. An
effort was made 10 get ii out without
success. lie left the Retreat, and
nothing further was done to remove
the article, though he occasionally y
spoke of feeling it. In a year or two
he was attacked with sharp pain at
the lower part of the right lung. He
suffered from it for some time, when 1t
passed away, and for two years he en-
joyed good health. \ few weeks ago
he went to New Haven with invoice Of
produce and while engaged in lifting
barrels was again attacked with pain
and bleeding from the lungs. He was
taken to his fathers house, where, In
few days, he died. His case was so
singular that the physicians made a
yOsI-moriem examination, when they
found the key imbedded in the lower
part of the lung, and surrounded by
lump in state of modification. The
key had dropped out Of the nose
through the windpipe into the lung,
and had remained there over four

WIFE AND HrsBAND BURIED To-
GErHER.-Lieutenan General Ewell died
on Thursday morning at his home in
Maury county, aged Sc years He had
been sick but fifteen days. We give
few details of his death, taken from
the Nashville papers:
His noble, warm-hearted wife. who
had anxiouly and yigilantly watched
besides his sick bed. through weariness
and want Of rest succumbed the same
fatal disease Though no one announc-
ed 10 him her death, he said that he
guessed the terrible truth, because he
saw that - pail had fallen upon the
house.
Before his death he said, Il don't
want any monument raised over me;
only plain head stone and toot.s'one,
like those over the graves of my moth
er and father in Virginia. My rank
while in the Confederate service might
be inscribed upon one of the stones, but
! wish nothing in the inscription which
will cast any reflection upon the Gov
ernment of the United States.
General Ewell had been in the habit
of wearing a pain of blue infantry pant
aloons, which he had purchased subse-
quent to the war. Upon one occasion,
not long before his death, and when he
could speak only with the greatest
difficulty, he said of them, After sll
nv fighting against the United States
so long, it is strange that Al old pair Of
pantaloons should Kill me at last. lie
attributed his death to having worn =
much thicker pair.
When the corpse of his wife, shrond-
cd and in ;hc coffin, WAS taken into hls
room, just previous to their being sent
To Nashville, "Wednesday morning, he
was raised up from his pillow that
lie might look upon her face for the
last time. He was too weak to show
any emotion, but whispered wish that
her furneral might be delayed, So that
both might take place at the same time
and both be laid side 10y side i'll the
grave.
The funeral took place Yesterday.
The pail bearers were Colonel Thomas
Claiborne, and Generals John &. Brown,
William H. Jackson. :. X. Anderson.

Cheatham, Bushrod Johnson, +. Kirby
Smith and Beverly ii. Robertson.
The funeral services were conducted
by Bishop Quintard and the Rector,
Rev. William Graham.

EARN WHAT YoU SrENp.-Three-
fourths of the difficulties and miseries OF
men come from the fact that most want
wealth without earning it, fame without
temperance, respect without virtue and
happiness without holiness. The man
who wants the best things, and is will
ing to pay just what they are worth, by
honest effort and hard self-denial, will
have no difficulty in getting what he
wants at last. 1t is the men who want
goods on credit that are snubbed and
overwhelmed in the end. Happiness
cannot be bought by the bottle, nor
caught up by the excursion train, nor
put on with any robe or Jewels, nor eat
en- at any feast. 1t does not exist in
any exhileration, excitement. or owner
ship, but comes from the use of the ia
culties of body and mind.
