Henry Ward Beechsr On Labor.
rOPULAR ERRORS IN THE EDUCATION o.
AMERICAN YOUTH.

At Plymouth church on Sunday eve
ming Mr.. Beecher preached = sermon
that is worthy of being read aud studied
by every man in the land. If he can
learn to practice the wisdom taught in
this discourse there will not be many
Americans who have done more good in
their day and generation. We copy
from the New York .Sxn's report:
Then Mr.. Bercher took his text from
Ephcsians iv , 2S: "Let him that stole.
s,eal M more; but rather let him labor.
working with his hands the thing which
is good. that be may have to give to him
that needeth"
That is the pattern Of reformed life,
said Mr.. Beecher. Some people gain
their living without earning it 1t eau
ses suspicious Of slight of hand. "Let
him that stole. steal no more" 1t is ne
ceesary to have been thief to steal. but
there is q great deal of stealing not done
by thieves and ! advise all those who
obtain their livelihood in an improper
way to earn it in proper way hereafter.
"By THE SWEAT OF THY Brow"
Every man should earn bis own living
| do not say it is misfortune to be born
rich. but l do say that of one hundred
men born with money and one hundred
men born without it, the chances to find
virtue and happiness are better in the
last hundred. He who is born in life to
rise early. to work, to earn bis living. is
the happy man. A man who works i,
healthier and happier than he who d"es
not, and he is, moreover, debarred from
those temptations which spring from the
possession of wealth. and those pitfalls
which have ruined 60 many young men
It is not only necessary to earn our own
livelihood. but we must rise with the suu
in GUNNER and before it in winter. and
work with our hands. There is no deg
radiation in labor. 1t exalts the man,
1t was not di.esteemed in earlier days
Only in Greece and Rome it was despi
sed because the Greeks and Romans
owned slaves. The nation to which We
owe 90 much and from which we have
learned 20 much-the Jewish nation
always honored labor. The Jews taught
their children some little craft, and they
were not drudges A drudge is a man
who labors with bis hand and has Nc
mind to control him, no conscience be-
hind it, no manhood.

Power Of Comprehensions.

1t was said Of Thoreau, we believe
that he could take up any given number
Of lead pencils without counting. A Gel
ebrated trapper once assured US that he
could tell how many balls lie had in his
pouch by placing his hand on it. without
stopping to count them, and added IL
eau tell the number of bullets instantly
without counting. IS you pronounce a
word without spelling it." Southey was
accustomed to take in the substance Of a
book in turning the leaves over contin-
ously, glancing down the pages. Hou-
dan, the magician, trained himself to
quickness of perception when boy. by
running past q show-window at full
speed. and then trying to tell what was
in it. We once met man on a canal
boat. who was amusing himself by going
from passenger to passenger. and telling
almost every one where he had seen him
before, on such train, in such hotel. in
such street. giving date and place to peo-
pie with whom he had never exchanged
a word. This training of the faculties in
particular directions is carried to mar
veloua extreme by woodsmen, trapPers
and mtn who guess the weight of AMI
mails. Perhaps the most remarkable in
stances are the markers, who leap from
log to log at the mouth of boom, stan
ding on the floating log and translating
Instantly an old mark into a new one.
remembering what equivalent to give for
each Of hundred marks, and chopping
it upon the log in the time tha: it floats
its length. 1t is said that Thoreau

Mr.. Ogden was present and standing

Tho Chief Justice, (Ludeling) with
out consulting with the other justices,
remarked that Mr.. Ogden could not be
recognized in that manner, and the mo-

furnished with authorities touching

and addressed o notc to the Chief JUS

A Tough Nat Story.

Tho Sydney [Australia) Horald il

story:
The craving for food by the helpless
young has in many cases been known
to prompt kittens and whelps to take
milk from very different genera 0i
mammalia; but one Of the most extra.
ordinary incidents of this nature is re-
lated to have occurred lately at Sydney.
The circumstances have no such features
as would render publicity ohjectiona.
bio, and tho authenticity OF tho subjoin-
cd statement is vouched for by the hus-
band of the woman referred to. Mrs.
Byrnc is a married woman; residing in
Devonshire street, Sydney, her husband
n native of tho colony, being we'll
known in the metropolis. Some
months ago sho bore twins, one Of
which died, and the surviving infant,
now about seven months old, became
ailing. This the mother attributed to
an insufficiency Of milk. For several

produced by the child. However she
ascribed them to the efforts OF the child
when hungry at night to get at the
breast, and took the precaution to pare
tho child's nails. Still fresh scratches
were noticed. No rats had been seen
about tho room until the cat started
one which had found a hiding place be-
hind u cask. Immediately tho rat
found itself chased it ran to Mrs. Byrne,
as if for shelter. The scratches on her
breast were ut once identified MS those
produced by a rats claws, and the inn
preston that this creature had robbed
her during the night OF the milk for
which her child was pining was sup
ported by the fact that, when the rat
was killed, she had a bountiftll cup

OkoennOke Swamp.

drain the great Okeeflnokee swamp in
south Georgia. This immense swamp,
the largest Counting Florida out of tic
question: In this part OF tho world, is
now being attacked In earnest, and IL
chartered company propose to sec IL il
cannot be made valuable for something
beside bears, coons, wild turkeys and
snakes. Tho swamp, which extends
down into tho upper border OF Florida,
is thickly timbered lnorass, nearly 200
miles In circumferonce-nearIy twice rs
largo rs tho Dismal swamp-and its in
teres:ing ornithological population,
which includes somo strange-voiccd
birds apparently peculiar to that partic-
ular domain, is only parallclcd by its
endless variety OF snakes and alligators.
Tho preliminary work OF draining the
swamp required an experiment to show
tho nature Of tho ground beneath il;
and n shaft or tunnel, sunk at the bor-
dor OF tho morass; has disclosed Curl
ously enough, tho existence, at u depth
Of two hundred feet, OF bod Of genuine
bituminous coal. Its extent, as well as
the comparative value OF the coal, re-
mains to be determined. Tho most
obvious facts of geology will readily cx-
plain, not only tho existence OF coal in
such place, but tho (probable) fact that
bed is large ono. Other geological
facts Of some interest are said to have
been developed by this shaft, ono boing
a stratum OF rock OF tho Silurian age.
