Yet Of ali this history written in

oblivious, and endeayors to conceal

conceals the Euklux becomes, in the

tent appeal to the old prejudice of the
white man against the negro.
Despairing Of getting any portion of
the cOlored vote, he attempts to excite
the hatred and jealousy Of the white
race against the colored, by pretend
ing that there is deep laid scheme to
make the white man subordinate to
the negro, to humiliate the white race
by the elevation of the black, to power,
and 80 on adj ndusean,. Leaving out
of these speeches few formal phrases
intended to protect them from the
charge Of Brick Pomeroy Bourbonisin,
they are such speeches as might have
been made by Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.
VOORHEES, year or two ago, and are
direct appeals to the hatred and to the
lowest passions Of the white, against
the black race. "To this complexion

the Vice Presidency invokes that spirit
Of hate, caste, and bigotry which places

"a stranger. ON this planet who
should ike NJ a Greeley newspaper
just now, ann get all his Information
of our politics from that would learn
thatan office-holder is in the most de-
grading business that man can engage
in, and that all the terms of infamy
are summed up In one when man is
called q federal office-holder. He
would certainly Judge from the Gree
Icy papers itisssivery Aisgracefnl busi-
ness to hold federal Office, and that
no word Of contempt can be attached
to man equal to that Of coffee
holder. hi IA, ;,
He would on wider acquaintance
with our world be puzzled TO under
stand how this impression got abroad
with regard to ofiice-holders. He
would see that in other governments
it is considered honorable to serve
ones country in public, capacity,
even with salary attached TO the SER
vice. He would learn that even in our
own country the trdst implied in one
who receives responsible Office is 90
grateful that men are willing to take
It often when it's emolument Is less
than they could obtain insome private
station"
He would learn, also, that the aver.
age ofiice-holder in this country il
quite as honest as the average private
business man that there is actually
less cheating and dcfalcation in public
life than in private-in proportion to
the men in each. He would Of course
find rascals and incompetants in ali
occupations, but he would be puzzled
to know why the term office-holder il
of itself one of daily reproach in the
Greeley press.
His. perplexity would, however, be
increased ten-fold when he discovered
that all the Greeley men are eagerly
engaged in an attempt to make Gem.
selves or their friends offlce-holders. =
He would find that while federal
ofiice-holder is just now, er-c1scio, the
most corrupt person in existence, q
federal oiiice-seeker Is . pure aud sim
cere patriot. He will learn to read
witha kind Of shuddering horror that
such number Of the participants in a

the old man reused him to quick sense of
his position, and, picking up the crow, he
endeavored to bite it. He grew pale, the
perspiration stood on his face, he trembled
like a terrier his mouth watered, his
eyes filed, he gagged, and it seemed a
physical impossibility for him to touch the
crow. The Sergeant however, compelled
him to take bite, and it was the only one
he did take, for his breakfast came up SO
rapidly to protest against crow that the
soldier relented and told him to "git"
and never to trouble Bucktail again.
Here would seem another proper place to
end the story, but there is still another par
agraph. b+sA3-'fa p
The next day, the old Virginian, smart
ing under the indignities he had suffered,
in not only having his pet crow killed, but
being compelled to eat portion of it, went
to the headquarters of the Bucktails and
made complaint to the Colonel against the
Big Sergeant. The Colonel at once sent an
orderly for Sergeant Smith, rightly suppos-
ing he must be the person referred to. He
obeyed The summons at once. He pushed
the door of the tent aside and entered the
presence. Swapping his heels together and
standing erect in the position of attention,
he brought his right hand quickly to the
visor of his military cap, and gave the Gus
tomary salute to his Colonel.

gravely, "do you know that gentlemanP'

promptly answered the culprit.
The roar of laughter which followed this
reply need not be described nor the manner
in which the old Virginian joined. The
sergeant was sent back to his quarters, and
the interview between the old aristocrat and
the Colonel was ended by an invitation tC
the latter to dine the next day at the old
| mansion.

We all want to know how good and
strong men have made their ways in the
world. They were once boys like you.
What steps did they take to become true
men ? An eminent merchant in New York
Mr. Jonathan Sturgis, tells little of his
experience, which am sure every boy will
be glad to hear about
One of my first lessons" says Mr.. Stur-
gis, "was in 1918, when was eleven years
old. My grandfather had fine flock of
merino sheep, which were carefully tended
during the war of that day. was the
shepherd boy, and my business was to
watch the sheep in the fields. A boy who
was more fond of his book than the sheep
was sent with me, but left the work to me
while he lay under the trees and read. /
did not like that, and finally went to my
grandfather and complained Of it. shall
never forget the kind smile of the old
gentleman as he said:
"Never mind, Jonathan, my boy, if you
watch the sheep you will have the sheep"
"What does grandfather mean by that
said to myself 1 don't expect to have
sheep. My desires were moderate, and
fine buck was worth a thousand dollars.
| could not exactly make out in my mind
what it was, but had great confidence in
him, for he was Judge and had been to
Congress in Washington's time SO / con-
cluded it was all right and went back con-
tentedly to the sheep. After got into the
field l could not keep his words out of my
head. Then l thought of Sundays lesson
Thou hast been faithful over a few things,
will make thee ruler over many things,
began to see throughit. Never you mind
who neglects his duty be you faithful and
you will have your reward.
81 received second lesson soon after l
came to this city as a clerk to the late KY
men Reed. A merchant from Ohio, who
knew me, came to buy goods, and said;-
Make yourself SO useful that they cannot
do without you" took his meaning
quicker than l did that of my grandfather.
"Well, worked upon these two ideas
until Mr.. Reed offered me partnership in
the business. The first morning after the
partnership was made known, Mr.. James
Geery, the old tea merchant, called to con-
gratulate me- and said You are all right
now." l have only word of advice to
give you: be careful who you walk the
streets with. That was lesson number
three.
And what valuable lessons they are
Fidelity in little things do your best for
your employer; carefulness about asso-
ciates." Let every boy take these lessons
home and study them well. They are the
foundation-stoues of character and hon
orable success.
