DON'T DEPEND ON FATHER.

Stand up here young man, and let US talk
to you. You have trusted alone to the con-
tents of your fathers purse, or his fair fame
for your influence or success in business
Think you that "father" has attained emf
nence 10 his profession BIZ by unweariad in
dustty? or that he has amassed a fortune
honestly without energy or activity! You
should know that tie faculty requisite for the
acquiring of fame or fortune is essential to,
nay inseparable from, the attaining of either
of these. Suppose "ather" has the s'rocks"
in abundance, if you never earned anything
for him, you have no more business with these
rocks than the goslin has with tortoise
And if he allows you to meddlc With them
until you have gained them by your own in
dustry, he perpetrates untold mischief. And
If the cid man is lavish Of his cash towards
you while he is allowing you to While away
your time, you'd better leave them, yes, run
away, sooner than be imbecile, or something
worse. through so corrupt an Influence =
Sooner or later you must learn to rely on
your own resources, or you will not be any

LEWIS AND CLARKE.

There is now living in Abermarle county
an old negro man named Tom (who was a
slave in the Lewis family, and belonged to
Reuben Lewis, the brother Of Capt. Merl-
wether Lcwis,) who went with his young
master, Capt Meriwether Lewis, on the Uni
ted States exhibition to the Rocky Mountains,
and the Pacific Ocean Tom resides at this
time, on the farm four miles from Charlottes
vile, owned by VIM. I. Early, Esq. He likes
to talk Of What he saw and heard while among
the Indians They would take his hands and
arms and rub them, eadeavoring to rub OFT
the paint, spit on and wash them, saying,
s'good paint, no rub off !" They tried to per-
suadc him to live with them and teach them
how to paint their own skin TO look like his,
offered to make him chief among them, and
have as many wives as he wished.
Sometimes as the Indians showed hostile
intentions to the whites, enter the encamp-
ment to steal, Capt. Lewis would put ne
gro Tom in front and he and the soldiers
would charge on them. The sight of Tom
was enough, they thought he was the devil
and would run off and scatter ln every direc-
ton, thus relieving the EXPEDITION at the time
of further annoyance. Tom preferred re-
turning home and be slave again, to remain
ing with the Indians and becoming chief
with harem of wives. The United States
government ought to give Tom pension. He
is believed to be the last survivor of that ex-
petition:

UNDER THE ROSE.

This expression says Senoway, took its or
igin from the wars between the houses Of
York and Lancaster. The parties respective,
iy swore by the red or white rose, and these
opposite cmblems were displayed as the signs
of two taverns; one of which was by the
side Of, and the other opposite to the Parlia-
ment in the old palace yard, estminster.-
Here the retainers ard servants eff the no.
blemen attached to the Duke of York, and
Henry VI, used to meet. Here also as dis
turbances were frequent, measures, either of
defense or annoyance Eere taken, and every
transaction was said to he done under the
rose, by which expression the most profound
secrecy was implied. According to others,
this term originated in the fable of Cupid.
giving the rose to Harpocrates the God of
silence, as a bride to prevent him betra1ins
the intrisuss of Venus. and was hence adopt
ed as the emblem of silence. Roses were
consecrated as presents from the Pope In
1926 they were placed over the goals of Con.
fessionals as the symbols of secrecy. Hence
the origin of the phrase, Under the Rose .

HOW TO SLEEP.

We are often asked for prescription for
preternaturally wakeful persons. The high
PRESSURE principle on which many of our
business meu. work their brains and abuse
their bodies, besets an irritable condition Of
the nerves, and morbid state Of mind, very
antagonistic to quiet and refreshing sleep.
Such persons will often 60 to bed weary and
exhausted, but cannot sleep; or sleep dream
lily and ftfally; or lie awake for hours, unable
10 sleep at all. We have tried many expo
dents to induce sleep with more or less sue
cess, and have read many recipes which
proved better IN theory than in practice. The
very best method we have ever yet discovered
is counting. Breathe deeply and slowly
(without any straIning effortl and, with every
respiration, count one, two, three, etc., up to
a hundred. Some persons will be asleep. be
fore they can count fifty IN this manner
Others will count ten, twenty or thirty and
then forget themselves and cease counting
In such cases always commence again at once
Very few persons can count hundred and
find themselves awake but should this hap
pen repeat the dose until cured.

A MAN WHO WILL NEVER SHAVE AGAIN.

=
| A worthy citizen of Evansville, Nd, under
took to trim his beard short time since, sant
by a slip Of the scissors spoiled the cut. FL.
trimmed a little more, and still MORE but i
would look lopsided SO he went to the bar
bers and got shaved for the first time in twelve
wears. He was very busy and the business de-
tanned him in his Office until late hour of the
night. and when he went home he found thai
his family had retired This was not an un.
usual occurrence, so he silently entered by
means of pass key, sought his own room
and undressed without liz hting, the gas. He
had hardly got into bed when his wife aston
ished him by uttering loud and prolonged
scream. FL was very much alarme tor her
and feared she had lost her reason. He i'm
plorcd her to tell him what was the matter.
At the sound of his voice, she screamed
"Oh Edward, come quick. and save NE"
| II ar1 here, DEAR" said he, but she only
screamed tho louder at the words.
| He sprang out CT the bed, and had just
struck light. when his brother-in-law mus
cular ix-footer, rushed into the room and fired
revolver at his head. Luckily it missed.
but his Est did not, for in minute pale
faced man, with long white robe staggered
under blow that doubled the size OF his or
gan of comparison.
"My Godp exclaimed the husband, "are
you all crazy?"
"Blcss nv heart p exclaimed the muscular
brother-in-law. eff it amt Ned himself !.
Why. what on earth tempted you to get your
self up in that style y
aWhat style ?" asked the much abused
husband, as he rubbed the growing Jumps on
his forehead.
"Why when did you shave r.
1t was all clear to him then. His vile had
nut up her hand in the dark, and meeting the
shaved face of a man, took her husband for
an intruder. She recognized his voice at hrst,
but the second time he spoke her terror was
too great. and she tainted. When the broth
81. in-law rushed in he saw thin faced man,
with slightly bald head, in long white
robe. and in his rage at the supposed outrage,
fired at him, missed, and then knocked him
down with his fist. Fortunately, his voice
saved the husband from second shot His
wife recovered from her faint only to faint
again at the recognition of her husbands sha-
ven face and the pistol shot.
He frally got to bed and slept very vel
until morning, when 1.-The baby" child OF
about two years of age, approached the bed,
as it had been used to do, and irig htencd at
the sight of stranger ran screaming from
the room. Tripping on the carpet, the poor
child received severe bump on its little
head.
Matters were finally Strengthened up at
home, but on the street his friends passed
without speaking, and at the bank he was not
only refused payment Of draft. out threat
ened with arrest for signing his own nanfo IN
endorsing it. Df course little explanation
brought the various affairs all right, but it
took SO much lime to explain, and for the con-
fusion on his forehead to get we'll, that the
aforesaid citizen VOWS he will never shave
again, as he considers it habit dangerous to
peace, and even ia life

HOW TO ECoNOMIZE LABOR.

This is the way Mr. Harris would econo-r
mise labor on farm: Our profit or loss de-
Ponds good deal Oh the kind of men we
hire, and on cur ability to plan work, aud to
sec that it is executed without loss and labor
Whether we had better take hold with our
own hands, depends good deal on the char-
acter Of the work, and the number of men
employed.
A farmer who knows what good days
work is, if he has large farm to manage.
will seldom find it profitable to take team and
pillow all day, or follow the harrows. ffe will
do better to attend to the many little de-
tails Of the work, and keep an eye on every
thing that is going on. lie should be able
to detect the weak spots, and lend a hand
there. For instance, if you are drawing ma :
nure with three teams, there will be one wa
gon at the heap, with the man, besides the
driver, to fIl another wagon unloading in the
field and one going back aud forth. The RAJ
pidity of the work will be determined at one
point, just as the strength of whole chain
is determined by the weakest link. IF you
see that the empty wagon gets to the heap
before the other is loaded, take hold and help
toil load, and put little spirit in the man.
vi tuC ottlCI tiio lCdu 10 ICduy DCIoiC
the wagon returns, the weak spot is in the field,
Take hold and help to pull of a load or two.-
In drawing hay or grain with three wagons
have doubled the speed Of the whole force
by getting on the wagon and helping to uu-
load. We upIoaded in half the time, and
yet the next wagon load was there in time
for US. Sometimes it will be the pitcher that
cannot keep up-thcn help him. You will
accomplish far more by looking out for the
weas points than by doing steady work. IF
a man has hard row to hoe, none Ct Che
others will help him. They will keep up
with him, or if they should by any nsischance
go ahead, they will wait for him at the end:
That row is the weak spot. Take hold and
help. And SO with every operation on the
farm We must study how to economic la

Flowers budded, birds were on the wing,
And ali the earth begdn to sing;
And old time gaily fed 4;
He's brought us many a precious thing
Since you and I were wed.
ssSome sorro rs hath ne brought us too,
Some losses sad and deep,
But sunshine overcame the rain,
And peace resigned his conquered pain,

For what we might not keep
Our treasures shall be ours again,
When we forget to weep.
"And we have shared together, dear,
This chequered path of life
We've struggled onward, hand in hand,
Ger many an arid waste of sand j;
We know we have better land
Beyond this world of strife
Where we shall e-unte our loving band,
