Pit Reggars to Work.

A very charilably disposed lady submits
for publication the following plan to aid in
the relief as well as the reform of beggars:
plies for ans, be certs Il you have some
thing for them to do before you bestow
your charity. Made them sweep your yard
OF street, or cleal your cellar or gutter,
There are many little chores to be perform
ed about all houses, simple in themselves,
but easy to perform. If the beggars look
able 10 do these things, compel them to la
Dor before you give them charity. This
will reform the evil of street begging. 1t
will make beggars earn what they eat, and
when they eat, feel more Independent in its
digestion. The plan is good ore, and we
rope our read rs generally will put it in
operation.

SNAK
Frnm the Kingston East Z

From the Kingston East Ienneseean'
A fsvorite hen of Mr.. Chaney's, near
Hoods Landing, was engaged IL "setting"
at the corner of the front porch. One night
last week Mr.. Cnsuey heard an unusual
shutting in the vicinity of the "setting"
hen, her ladyship cackling and splutte1ing
around to such an extent that Mr.. CLANCY
got up to see what all the row was about.
No evidence of chicken thieves appeared,
and he was about to "turn in" again, when
he observed a dark object lying on the
porch, like an old bonnet or shawl, which
be picked up to take into the house. Feel
ing heavier than either of the above named
garments he carried it to the corner of the
porch where the moon shown full upon it.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when he discov-
cred that the object be was so infinitely ex-
aminiDg was the favorite old hen enveloped
in the deathly coils of huge black snake
which was making frightful efforts to strike
him on the arm. Further inspection was
Immediately suspended, and both hen and
snake came down like thousand brick.
The huge monster was subsequently dis
patched, but poor old "topnot" was stark
and stiff-haviDg been Rugged to death.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PAR.


The old discussion has been revived in
the North as to whether the gallows prevents
crime. Capital Punishment is Inflicted for
the double purpose of Furnishing crime
and preventing it. But the surest pre-
ventiol is to commence early in life
a proper training of children in the princi-
pies of unselfsh honesty and blameless in
tegrity. Almost invariably crime originates
from the neglect of parental training. Either
from carelessness, thoughtlessness or lsZt-
ness, parents too often delegate the training
of their children 10 Sunday schools. These
are intermediate suxiliaries to family train
ing-splendid adjuucts which every parent
ought to call in requisiiion; but they should
never give up the whole OF their children's
training to the Sunday scb0ol. The gallows
cannot prevent crime. The example, the
care and instruction of parents constitute
the fountsin-head of crime. "Just as the
twig is bent the trees inclined" II, then,
the influence of parents upon children is
the cause of crime, how important is their
duty and how vast their responsibility to
the rising generation. 1t is the duty of par
ents to bend the tWig and give inclination
to the tree; to instili into the youthful
mind those precepts and principles which

life. How MANY thousands of men have
borne witness in their declining years that
the impression made upon their youthful
minds by the constant teachings of their
parents had guided their footsteps to honor,
prosperity and fame in manhood. Il is re-
corded of the father of his country-of him
who, in wisdom, in prudence, patriotism,
in va!or, in honor and in usefulness had

qualities of his nob,e mind be was in
debted to the training, the discipl re and
the precepts Of his honest parents. There
are hundre,,s Of fathers and mothers in
in cur cities and large villages Who
neither know nor care what their children
are dong. They give no instruction
themselves, and, to get rid Of them, start
them to church or Sunday-school; but they
do not know that they attend either
This neglect is the cause OF crime and
criminals. Children properly instructed sell
dom commit crime when grown; while in
nine cases in ten it will be found that
criminals had 10 moral training when
young. These facts show what an ardu-
Gus, honorable, responsible and interesting
duty devolves upon parents. Then, how
importa it is that they exert that infu-
ence in the right directi u, and .hus mold
the minds and form the characters Of good
and useful citizens,-Menphis AratdRche.

A GreenevlIe CORRESPONDENT of the New
York Herald writes as follows
A few days ago your correspondents called
upon ex-President johnson 1t his ofheej
and fortunately found him not too much
engaged to grant the interview desired. Mr..
Johnson's Office is an uDpretending brick
building, on9 story high and about 16x24
feet in dimensions. 1t is plainly furnished,
containing small walnut table, on which
| the ex-President does the most of his writ
ing, d large painted desk, three implanted
splis-bott IN Chairs, spsll "Index' stove
and large square spittoon, filed with saw
dust. His library numbers between l,ZOO
and 1900 volumes, and is arranged on
plain pine shelves. reaching from floor 10
ceiling. On the walls are steel engravings
of President Lincoln and himself, with a
picture OF cross in rustic frame, which
complete its adornnent, the floor not being
csrpeted. Here be sits snd muses. on the
events Of an exciting lif', and composes
| tho SO wonderful speeches which always
draw crowds and rarely fail to electrify hi;
| hearers. .,l,
On entering Mr.. johnson was seated
writing, at little table on which lay an
open volume containing Pittman's account
| OF the trial and execution Of the conspira
tors engaged in the plot which terminated
| in the assassination OF President Lincoln
| TIE book was marked in several places
with slips ofpaper, and he had evidently
been refreshing his memory b reperusa

ADVERTISING FOR A WIFE.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Henry Harold Brookes is the name of
soft young man who, in May LAST, ad-
vertised in one of the San Francisco pa
pers fer wife. Among the hundreds of
letters received in reply was one purporting
to come from a gushing young damsel Of
eighteen, resident at Santa Clara. AT er
quite q lengthy correspondence and the
exchange of photographs, the young lady(?)
applied for pecuniary assistance, and the
simpleton sent at various times sums amount
ing 10 over $500. He desired to meet bis
fair correspondent, but she put him OFF
on various excuses-opposition OF parents,
fear discovery, etc, until finally he went
to Santa Clara and made inquiries at the
postoffice for Miss RosamOnd Derwen', that
being the name given By the writer If the
letters. OF course he did not succeed in
finding her, although he exhibited her pic
ture around town and made careful iDqui-
ries. He soon after received letter from
San jose, from his correspondent, she still
protesting affection and desire to marry
rim, but telling him her cruel father forced
her tc leave Santa Clara and intimating that
she had been well whipped for herindiscre-
tioa. She be ged him not to try to see her
and not to send her any more money until
she asked for it, when it must be sent as
she directed. Some time in July Brooks
received letter asking the return OF letters
and likeness, Miss "Rosamond" having
concluded to go to the Sandwich Islands in
company with rich uncle, or AZ uncle who
wanted to get rich by going there. In this
letter she ADMITS giving him an assumed
name, supposing, of course, that he had
done the same. This epistle took Brookes
at oDce to Santa Clara on second search
for fair ssRosamond.n he ascertained thai
| the picture was that of Miss -
who some time since attended the State
Normal School at San Jose, but there is no
suspicion hat this young woman knows any
thirg of the correspondence. Brookes now
has detectives on the track of those who
have deceived him, and it is probable that
several smart young men find that it is dan
gerous business 10 carry on q correspond
ence upder All assumed name, and accept
money from their dupe. Recently, in order
to brighten Brookes, letters have been cent
to him containing pictures of collins, skull
and cross-bonee, and diabolical threats.

WHAT RAILROADS CAN DO WHEN
THEY THY.
sep9O If 4thp wed, sat, sun,

Tremendous excitement prevailed at
Leayenworth, Kansas, on the 18th inst,
caused by the cutting OF the railroad fare
to the Quaker Convention at Indianapolis.
The first cut was by the Kansas City, st.
Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad, selling
tickets via the North Missouri road for S25
the round trip. TIN, Hannibal and st.
Joseph then dropped TO $50. and the Mis-
souri, Pacific reduced to SIS. As these
tickets were good for sky days, the various
offices were thronged with purchasers,
either for speculation or use to the St.
Louis Fair or Chicago Expedition. In the
afternoon the competition be- anne stronger,
the Hannibal and St. Joe Ra uroad taking
part, and fare to Chicago via 81. Louis was
reduced to So SO, which was subsequently
lowered to s.. so. The offices at night were
densely crowded with purchasers, AID the
rates were now St. Louis, So; Chicago,
IS so; Louisville, s12 so; Cincinnati, S14.5O.
Eye-v body seemed to be bent on going to
one or the other Of the Expeditions IN ane
cities named.

And peel that little treep

1t makes him plump, you see.
All of my hogs are fat
And I've got thirteen head
And some weigh more nor that,
But don't cost me red.
For don't keep spig
Unless he's on the foot!
And willin' for to dig

And many folks object"
But amt hog got rights
That people sbouldrespect

hands free from stain. Hand Sapolio wilt

also keep the skin soft and pliable, rencer-

as is the case with those who do not per-
