Knocked About in the World.

1t is good thing for young man to
be "knocked about in the world"
though his oft-hearted parents may not
think So All youths, or, if not all, GER
tainly nineteen-twentieths of the sum
total, enter life with surplusage of
self-conceit. If, in measuring them
selves with wiser and older men than
they are, they discover that it is unwar-
ranted, and get rid of it gracefully, of
their own accord, well and good if not,
it is desirable, for their own sakes, that
it be knocked out of them.
A boy who is sent to large school
soon finds his level His will may have
been paramount at home; but school
boys are democratic in their ideas, and,
if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed into
recognition of the golden rule. The
world is a great public school, and it
soon teaches a new pupil his proper
place. If he has the attributes that be-
long to leader, he will be installed in
the position of leader; if not, whatever
his own opinion of his abilities may be,
he will be compelled to fall in with the
rank and file. If not destined to great
ness, the next best thing to which he can
aspire is respectability; but no man can
either be truly great or respectable who
is vain, pompous, and overbearing.
By the time the novice has found his
legitimate social position, be the same
high or low, the probability is that the
disagreeable traits of his character will
be softened down OF worn away. Most
likely the process of abrasion will be
rough, perhaps very rough; but when
it is all over, and he begins to see him
self as others see him, and not reflected
in the mirror of self-conceit, he will be
thankful that he has run the gauntlet
and arrived, though by a rough road, al
self-knowledge. Upon the whole
whatever loving mothers may think tc
the contrary, it is good thing for youth,
to be knocked about in the world-it
makes men of them.

RIDGWAY, PA. THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1872. s..

suading the officer to allow message to
be dispatched to Mr.. Weldon, and finally
one of the policemen departed with a
hastily scribbled note.
BY the time he reached Mr. Weldon's
it was after 10 o'clock; the uncomfortable
guests there assembled had begun, to
think they had better go home, as there
would be no wedding that night, and
the clergyman, who had passed anything
but an agreeable evening, had gone to
Mrs. Weldon to make his adieu, when
there was ring at the bell followed by
a rush to sec who it might be.
When the door was opened and po-
liceman stalked into the hall, the excite
ment was intense. Mr.. Weldon hurried
forward to meet him. The man touched
his hat
Are you Mr.. John Weldont"
Eyes"
"A prisoner down at our station sent
you this note"
Mr.. Weldon opened the missive eager
ly; people crowded round to learn its
contents.
at am in the Twenty-seventh-st. Sta
tion-house, charged with theft; come
and get me out.-RICHARD STRONG"
A shout of laughter followed this an
nouncement, the people were so amused,
they thought it such a good joke.
The relief after the long suspense was
so great that peal after peal of merri-
ment rang out, the jolly sounds echoing
even to Edith's room, the girls jumped
out to hear the news, and quickly
brought her back the tidings that Dick
was safe, though in such a funny scrape.
The policeman meantime looked at
the smiling throng and then at Mr..
Weldon.
$50 what he said was true, and he was
going to marry your daughter: {"
"Yes, certainly"
"We would not believe him, he look
ed such shabby chap; however, the
boss said rs it was so near, mightcome
and see."
More laughter followed this, and in a
few moments Mr.. Weldon and Charlie
Strong were on their way, with the po-
liceman, to Dicks relief.
There is not much to add when they
reached the station, few words from
Mr.. Weldon convinced the police cap
tain that there must have been some
mistake, and Mr.. Strong was released.
Clarke still remained at the place, and
was furious at the result when going
out, Dick said to him" Now, Mr.
Clarke, 1 hope you are convinced that
did not steal the watch?'
To this he replied very angrily " You
did too, for 1 saw you; and l say it's a
monstrous injustice to let you off just
because you are going to marry rich
mans daughter"
There was no use arguing with such q
person; and as Dick once more drew on
the Objectionable overcoat, Charlie
Strong could not help saying, "Ah Dick
it was all because you would wear a
shabby coat, and would not have car
riage. You will do better next time"
When they reached the house there
was a great crowding about the bride
groom, and much merriment and con.
gratulations. Edith came to meet him.
her paleness succeeded by bushes, and
the ceremony proceeded at once.

Nervous Complaints,

Physicians tell us that nervous COM
plants have never been more frequent
than they are in this city at the present
time. Men are suffering from nervous
exhaustion, women from Mysteries and
extreme depression of spirits. The cause
is not difficult to be ascertained. Dur
ing the cold, dry weather of February
and March the atmosphere was sur
charged with electricity to an unusual
and remarkable degree. The human
system was thus stimulated to an un-
usual extent, and the warm, damp days
of April, in which the atmosphere was
almost devoid of electricity, following
Immediately after the dry and cold days
of the preceding two months, produced
a feeling of nervous exhaustion such as
the hard drinker feels when he breaks
his evil habit for few days. This ex.
planation, which is that given by one Of
the leading physicians of the country
is certainly founded on fact, and seem,
extremely probable.-Ne'0 York Times

The AIbatross.

This bird which is held in such SUI
perstitious reverence by sailors, and
which superstition is so daintily dished
up by Coleridge in his "Ancient Mar
iner" is an inhabitant principally of the
Indian Ocean. When they are cap
tured, and brought on board ships sail
ing in that latitude, their sleek, deli
cate and clean plumage is a subject OF
much admiration; and the fine snow
white down which remains after the re-
moval of the outer feathers is in requi-
sition by ladies for muffs, tippets, etc.
The spread from tip to tip Of the wings
of the albatross is something enormous.
!The average is from eight to fourteen
feet; while it is reported that speci-
mems have been captured, the extended
wings of which measured twenty feet
across. When seizing an object floating
on the water, the albatross will grad
ually descend, with expanded or up
raised wings, or sometimes alight and
float like duck on the water while de-
vouring his food. Then, elevating itself,
it skins the surface of the ocean with
expanded wings, giving frequent i'm
pulses-since the great length of its
wings prevents its rising with facility
from level surface-as it runs along
for some distance, until it again scars in
mid-air, and recommences its erratic
flight. The great difficulty of these
birds in commencing their flight is to
elevate themselves from the water To
effect this object they spread their long
pinions to the utmost, giving them rei
peated impulses as they run along the
surface of the water. Having by their
exertions raised themselves above the
wave, they ascend and descend, and
cleave the atmosphere in various direc-
tions, without any apparent muscular
exertion. The explanation of this facil-
ity of flight in the albatross is curious.
The whole surface of the body in this,
as well as most if not all the oceanic
tribe, is covered by number of air-cells,
capable of a voluntary initiation or dim
mutton by means of beautiful muscu-
lar apparatus. By this power the birds
can raise or depress themselves at will.
and the tail and great length of the
wing enable them to steer in any di-
rection. Indeed, without some provis-
ion of this kind to enable them to save
muscular exertion. it would be impossi-
BILE for these birds to undergo such long
flights without repose as they have been
known to do; for the muscles apper-
tanning to the organs of flight are evi-
IDENTIFY inadequate in power to the long
distances they have been known to fly,
and the immense length of time they re-
main on the wing with scarcely a mo-
ment's cessation.

Forty Years in PrisOn..-A Singular
Character.

The Edinburgh IScotsman says: There
died on Wednesday afternoon, in the
Edinburgh Royal Infrmary, the we'll
known Edinburgh character Alexander
Merrilees, better known by the sobri-
quet of Sally Kelly" OF the eighty
two years of his life, this singular per
son spent more than forty years in pris-
on, and for the past half century has
been considered pest by the police au-
thorities, having been convicted at the
Police Court about $50 times. Upward
of sixty years ago he came to Edinburgh
from his native town, Musselburgh, and
commenced career of dissipation, which
continued until he entered the infrmary
about week ago. He never learned
any trade, but occasionally did odd jobs
for any one who would employ him. He
used to sing in High street, Canongate,
and other frequented thoroughfares, to
groups Of people, who gave him coppers
to encourage the flow Of his Jokes. 1t
was from one of his favorite songs that
he acquired the sebriquet by which he
was generally known.
When not III prison he spent his nights
i'll the muster room at the Police Office
and when for misconduct he was eject
ed, as was often the case, he would ad-
journ to one of the cellars of the build
ing. One of the last offences he CON-
mitted was that of stealing some tools
belonging to a workman who had been
making some repairs in a police cell.
"Sally" knew the history of all the gov
ernors of the Jail for the past half-cen-
tury, and was thoroughly acquainted
with every part of both old and new
prison. When sent to the Poorhouse or
House of Refuge he woul not remain,
as he used to say the treatment he re-
ceived in prison was far superior.

Keen the Heart Alive.

A thoughtful observer gives these lines
to the public: The longer / live, the
more expedient l find it to endeavor
more and more to extend my sympathies
and affections. The natural tendency
of advancing years is to narrow and con-
tract these feelings. / do not mean that
l wish to form II new friendship every
day, to increase my circle of intimates-
these are very different affairs. But ]
find thatit conduces to my mental health
and happiness to find out all can which
is amiable and lovable in those 1 come
in contact with, and to make the most
of it. 1t may fall very short of what ]
was once wont to dream of; it may not
supply the place of what l have known
felt and tasted, but it is better than
nothing. 1t seems to keep the feelings
and affections in exercise, it keeps the
heart alive in its humanity, and, till we
shall be- all spiritual, this is alike oul
duty and our interest"

Power of Kindness Oh Animals.

Mrs. o. S. johnson tells, in Our Dumb
Animols, the story of horse whose task
it used to be to drag meat cart, and
which, because of viciousness, was final
ly sold to his present owner, at a very
low price. He would bite, tear, kick,
run away-was utterly uncomfortable.
Soon after changing masters, the peo-
pie, who had called the purchase fool
ish one, We're surprised at the difference
in the horses conduct. He would go
fast or slow, as desired; stop instantly
at whoa; follow his masters call, and
rub his head on his shoulder What had
made the change? Not force; the poor
horse had been beaten, kicked, and
starved before; and grown more and
more stubborn. No; but he was we'll
fed, well watered; not overdriven or
overloaded never whipped, kicked, or
scolded. Kind words were given him,
and now and then an apple or lump
of sugar. No gentler, safer, and more
faithful horse went on the road. But,
Indian fashion, he forgot neither benefit
nor injury. Occasionally, when in har-
ness, he saw his former master. Then,
invariably, all the fire of his nature was
aroused. His eye rolled, he champed
his bit, and showed an intense desire to
get hold of his former enemy. Only
the voice and caressing hand of his kind
owner could quiet him.

A NEW INVENTION To make wine
from malt has often been question
among chemists and scientific brewers,
and now the question has been answered
by the manufacture of "red beer" or
malt wine, at brewery in North Ger
many. The beer thus produced is de-
scribed as of character something be-
tween Rhine wine and Burgundy, with
port wine flavor, very lively and agree
able and that when looked at IN glass
it behaves like good wine, elings to the
inside of the glass, and there exhibits
what the Germans call "chureh-win-
dows." This, however. is an effect which
crafty wine merchants know how to pro-
duce by the addition of a small quantity
of glycerine to their liquor. The red
beer, as may be supposed, lis made with
out hops, but so far as yet tried it keeps
we'll in bottle.

LIVING WITHOUT FooD.-The Spring
field Republican states that Kate Dono-
van, whose singular abstinence has been
before noted still lives, and retains her
plumpness of appearance, although, if
reports be true, ID m Snths has passed
since she has retained anything in her
stomach long enough TO receive from it
any nourishment whatever. Six weeks
ago the city physician gave her tea
spoonful of beef tea, and for the fifteen
minutes before it was thrown up, her
sufferings were fearful. Since then no
similar attempt has been made to force
nourishment upon her, and she has
taken during those six weeks only a
small quantity of water.

The Augusta Literary and Library Associa-
ton has been incorporated for the purpose of
maintaining in this city library, reading
room, courses of literary and scientific lee
lures, and for other purposes that may prop
erly come within the province of such asso-
Citations. The corporation is authorized to
raise money by assessment, by vote of the
members, and to hold personal property for
the purposes # the Association to an amount
not exceeding so, 900. There are a large
number of corporators, the list being headed
by Lot NJ. Morrill, r. d. Rice, J. G. Blaine
and j. W. Bradbury. Any three of the cor
porators are authorized to call the first meet

take hold of the work for which it is organized
in earnest, and that the combined efforts of
its corporators and members may lead to the
establishment here of free reading room
and library, and regular annual course of
first class lectures.
