LEARNING TO WoRK.-Every young man
should perfect himself in some calling and
follow it, too, if he desires to act like man.
Nature formed every man to do something.
The world was not made for drones, moths,
or hangers on at the tail end of society.
Such creatures are like Egyptian plaques to
the better part of creation. Having not en-
ergy enough to stem their way up the cur
rent of life, they become the drag to those
whose course is ever onward, and thus an
impediment to the most wise movements of
nature.
We tell you, young man, no matter whether
you are wealthy or not, it is unmanly to do
otherwise than to rel y upon yourself; unmanly
not to engage in some useful employment,
and thus make your own living. Learn to
do something and do it well. If you covet
a happy home, honors, health and a long
life of happiness, you may be sure of finding
them all in the wise and energetic pursuit OF
an honorable business. You can never find
them any where else.
Then choose business. Bend all your
energies to it. Be ambitious in it. Read,
study, think, work, live for it, Thus make
yourself useful TO the work, and the work
will reciprocate by throwing health, happi-
ness and honor around you.

DUTy OF PLAy.-IL sometimes looks to
us as if this American people were destined
to break down in the very flush of its pow
ers, from physical causes. AS people, we
DO not know how to play. OF all arts we
are the most backward in this. We can
work; we can talk; we can fght-but We
cannot play. We do not play. We are
always intent on business. Our very fun
flashes out as an incident in the midst OF
strenuous activity. We are forever doing.
When it is not our own business, it is tie
business of the church or of the society.
We stop long enough to eat and sleep,
simply because we cannot help ourselves.
But tie eating and sleeping is thrust in edge
wise as it were. They are intrusions; and
we dispatc! them at the highest speed, and
carry our cares to our meals, and into oul
dreams. If we profess to take amusement,
we so manage as to keep up the full tension
of the system; we do it hard. The result
of this excessive pressure is not only physical
disability, but moral mlirmty; the innate
need of diversion breaking out at last in
some sensuous and destructive m.--Clris-

WEALTH OF THE ANc1ENTs.-Speaking of
wealth, what are Astor, Stewart, Vanderbilt,
or the Rothchds, compared to Pomey
Pbiladelphus, of Egypt, who amassed $780,
0,O0O? And what are our young ladies,
compared with Paulna, one of the tom of
Rome, who, when returning visits, wore
jewels worth $500 900! Mr.. Stewart's new
house in Fifth avenue may have cost $780,
600; yet Clodius paid $3.50, 900 for his
"brown stone front" on the Palatine, while
Messala gave $4,000 for the house Of
Antony. Seneca, who was plain philoso-
pher, was worth Sl2, 900, 900; and Tiberius
left $l2O 100000. But Marc Antony!
whew! When he was a young gentleman,
and before becoming a member of any
"ring," he owed Sl4.00O,0 600, and pur
chased the friendship of Qumsor for 50, ,5OO,-
600. This, however, was nothing, for be-
fore he got through, he squandered $780,
900 900 of the public money.

INSTRUCTIVE READ1NG.-Thc following ex-
pressions of prominent men make instructive q
reading just now.
"No man can hold Office under Grant and
maintain his self-respect, said Forney year
ago.
"Grant has no more capability than a
horse" said Fighting Joe Hooker month
since.
"He is not fit to govern this country,
were Stanton's dying words.
"There are sixteen weighty reasons why
Grant should never be President" wrole
Colfax in 1868.
"He has no more soul than dog" said
Ben. Butler less than a year ago.
"He is not controlled by constitutional
law, but by political rings" says Trumbull.
"His San Domingo business stamps him
as a first class couspirator." says Governor
Palmer.
"Hc is making money out Of bis position,
and that's all he cares about it," said Sena-
tor Carpenter to Herald correspondent.
"He is man without sufficient knowl-
edge to preside over a caucus" said Logan
in 1869.

JUST THE SAME AS II USED TO BE,

The girls keep fussing o o'er their beaux,
They dress themselves each night and go
To some party, ball, or other spree;
But it's just the same as it used to be.
The old folks send their boys to bed,
But out OF the window, over the shed,
They 60 to the ground for a little spree;
But it's just the same as it used to be.
The damsels old, they fume and fret;
The say they never saw such set
OF girls as these-"they make so Free
But they're just like the girls that used to be.
The old men say the boys won't do,
Whoever raises one of them will rue
1t. and no good of him eer see;
But they re just like the boys that used to be.
'Tis a new deal in very old game,
And think it will always be the same,
So have your fun fore youth doth flee,
For it's just the same as it used to be.

PAUL LSTRoBNoH.-Grant's letter of accept
ance was addressed in the second place to
Paul Strobach. An inquiry was set on
foot 10y great m,ny Germ'n papers as to
"who Strobach was ?" and here is the re.
suit:
Strobach is carpet bagger who is great
f,vorte with the Dent family. lie has been
about eight years in the country, and has
filed several places, but is not likely to be a
citizen of the United States. When "A pri-
vate citizen, he several times "skedaddled y
to parts unknown, to the deep CONSERVATION
of his creditors, who now, for the first time,
learned by the report of the Philadelphia
Convention that he was alive. After these
wonderful exploits he was a sutler in Prince
Salm's United States regiment, selling bad
whisky to our soldiers at eXorbitant prices,
and cheating the poor fellows out of the
means their families needed.
Now STRoBACH mot Drawback as the
Nashville papers named him. promises Grant
majority of the 500 600 German votes
undoing Schurz-eEdors the sale of arms
to France, and every sin, crime, &c, of the
great father at Washington. Strobachs
pockets are wide, his carpet-bag uncommonly
deep-his power extraord nary-carying so
many Germans along. Oh what man
this Paul, the swindler Paul, the suier Paul,
the Grant agent Great is Diana of the
Ephesians Great is Grant, and Strobach
his great prophet
The Germans have enough of Grant, and
the German vote may be set down as almost
solid against him. They will come out en-
masse for old Horace, the man who stood by
them in the days of Know Nothingism.

BRIDAL fans, containing the different terms

The ECONOMY OF THE ADMINISTRATION. -
The Grant party are constantly ringing the
changes on "ihe economy Of the adminstra-
ton" They have asserted it so often that
they have persuaded themselves into the be-
lief Of its TRUTH in spite Of the notorious fact
that a scale Of expenditure inaugurated dur
ing the time when half the able bodied men
in the land were under arms or on the Gov
ernment payroll, is still maintained undimin-
ishcd in time of profound peace, when even
three-fourths Of the comparatively small
number of officials could and should be dis
pensed with. As an example we will call
the attention Of our readers to the advertise
ment for bids for supplying the posts in and
around San Francisco, and the military Off
GERS in San Francisco with coal for the ensu
ing year. Alcatraz Island, with a garrison
not sufficient in number TO one-fourth man
the batteries. calls for one and a half million
pounds, say $50 tons; the Preside, with
handful of men, for two and a halt millions,
say $50 tons; Yerba Buena Island, with q
garrison of half dozen men, under command
of corporal, six hundred thousand po unds,
say 800 tons; Point San Jose and Angel Is
land, for similar amounts, and San Francisco,
for "oflice use, "only the trivial amount Of
in round thunderstorm million pounds, or
TWO THOUSAND TONS. The average consump-
tion of coal for family of ten persons in San
Francisco for one year, for all purposes, cook
ing, warming, washing and ironing, etc,
does not exceed four tons of 1000 pounds,
and yet the military Offices in San Francisco,
in which fire is never lighted for at least
nine months in the year, consume 1000 tons,
or as much as ), ,0O0 citizens require for all
purposes. The taxpayers Of the United
States pay for it, at any rate. This IS econ
omy with a vengeance.

ly connected with the building Of
an ark a few thousand years ago,
came of his route with such terri
bic cold in his head that he would
have been rejected as juryman at

polls. A physician was sent for
who prescribed Il vapor bath. A
chair we'll ventilated in the seat
was procured, the patient undresscd
seated himself OH it, and inclosed
his person and the chair in heavy
blankets. For q bath of this kind,
small quantity of alcohol is put in
saucer placed under the chair and
ignited, when the desired result is
soon obtained. But the successful
working of this kind Of . bath de-
pends entirely upon the amount of
alcohol used. Too little has no
effect, and the party having the
patient in charge ignited an entire
half pint at once. There was q

am satisfied with Gen. Grant as
n President. Though not - politi-
clan, l think l can see that he has
more than fulfilled all his pledges;
that he has shown himself a friend
of peace, domestic and foreign, of
reform in the civil service, and of
economy. AS citizen, l thank him
for it. He has not seemed to me to
be a politician; but straightfor-
ward, simple-minded, sensible man,
doing the best in his power for his
country.
But / want to speak of him in
this article as 3 man-a resident of
Washington, citizen of the country
of which he is President. A public
man lives two lives: One in the
eyes of the public, one viewed with
reference to great public questions;
and another in the retirement of
domestic and social circles. And
it is of this last that want here to
speak. l want to thank President
Grant for his open and openly ex-
pressed interest in religious things.
He believes in the bible and the
Christian religion. He loves and
honors such men as General How
ard. During the recent investiga-
tion instigated by Fernando Wood
and others some one said at the
dinner table in the White House:
"But what if they prove the
charges?" The President replied:
"I'll not believe them if witnesses
can be found to swear to them.
Men may be mistaken-may per-
| jure themselves; but I know Gen.
eral Howard. He is man incapa-
bic of doing what he thinks to be
wrong" One Of the few instances
when he has departed from his
usual silence on public occasions
was to say to the young men in con.
| vention here last year: 81 believe
| yon 70 be honest men, convened
