A LAucHABLE 1Nc1DENr.-One evening,
at the theatre, John Phoenix observed a
man sitting three seats in front whom
he thought he knew. He requested the
man sitting next to him to touch the in

stranger did so, and the disturbed per-

fecting Inconsistencies of the whole
affair, he left the man with the cane to

who, being without excuse, there was,
OF course, aludicousr and embarrassing

profoundly interested in the play. At

THE YOUNG MECHANICAL clever wri'
ter says: "Let every farmer who has
boys provide them workshop. Yes,
let every father have a workshop, or
workroom, or workbench, where the
boys may crafty their longing for tools

something to do 1t should be made
pleasant, attractive and comfortable. II
room enough, there should be a work
bench and wise, and shaving tools, and
perhaps small foot lathe, two or three
planes, augers of different sizes, few
chisels, knife, saw and hammer. For
those who cannot afford the whole, a
part would answer, and to those who
can, other tools might be added; the
cost of the tools being but trihe com.
pared with the advantages gained, one
of which is real progress in practical
education. 1thas been said. the best
inheritance man can leave his children
is not money to them, but the ability To
help and take care of themselves.
A young man who can at any time
mend sofa, chair, rocker, harness, or
tin ware, set the clock, repair an UNI
brella, whitewash wall, paper a room
and do hundred other small jobs, will
get through the world far more com
fortably and thriftily than one who is
constantly obliged to depend on the
help of others. Besides all this, and
greater still, is the moral influence OF
tools in furnishing boys something
cheerful to do in stormy weather OF
leisure hours.

WILL NOT DO.

The young man who locks above
the small chances within his reach
to accomplish something for himself
is not apt to do much in life.
He who remains idle, rather than
humiliate his false idea of what Is
good enough for his qualifications,
will almost certainly exc out mis-
cradle hand-to-mouth living. spong-
ing on his friends and worrying his
relatives.
A large class Of the young men of
the present day are building castles
and floating on their own clouded
imaginations. They have not and
perhaps never will settle down with
fixed determination to accomplish
certain thing, whether it bs diff
cult or easy.
The sands Of life are constantly
running out and their energies wast>
cd in regrets for the non appearance
Of some good fortune that would
place them in afiluence and power
without any trouble or particular ef>
fort OF their own. Such view Of
life will not do.

a MAN COUGHS UP a GOLD DOL.
LAR.

The Evanville Journal says, for
some time past a young gentleman,
employed on the Evansville and
Chicago railroad, has been troubled
with cough, for which he has been
taking medicine from DR.. Newell,
blu, without any good effect being
apparent. A few days ago he was
taken with severe tit Of coughing,
in the course of which he coughed
up gold dollar, and since that time
he has entirely recovered from the
pain in his lungs and the irritating
cough. While wondering how the
gold coin could have got into his
lungs he recollected that some
months ago he had two or three gold
dollars, and when going to bed one
night he remembers to have had one
of them in his mouth. When he
came to look for his, money the next
day, or perhaps later, he found that
he had one less than he supposed,
and his opinion now is that he went
to sleep with the gold dollar in his
mouth and it got down his throat.

EXCITING SCENE IN A MEN.
AGERfE.

A terrible scene took place in Man
ders' Menagerie, at Whithy, in Eng
land, on September 10. There were
several hundred people in the show
when heart-rending cries, as from
one in mortal agony, went through
the air. A panic ensued The peo-
pie, terribly excited, ran en- masse
| to the narrow outlet, and endeavored
to escape by other means. A cry
was raised outside that one Of the
beasts had burst through the bars Of
its cage, and the excitement among
the crowd without was scarcely less
intense than that within. In the
rush to the door many people, par
ticular the weaker sex, were injured,
and the confusion was increased
from the circumstance Of a couple Of
camels blocking up the doorway. =
Meanwhile the cries continued, and
it was discovered that a poor boy
named Langley was the victim Of the
viciousness of q big tiger, placed
alongside another next to the cage
containing the lion that worried to
death poor Mccarthy, the lion tanner,
at Bolton last year. The tiger was
infuriated, and was making strenu-
Gus efforts to draw the lad through
the bars of the cage. The beast
growled irightfully, and what with
the pitiful cries Of the boy, the
shouts Of the men, and the screams
Of the half fainting women, the scene
was one of the most terrible descrip-
ton. Some men ran for hot irons,
while others beat tho beast with their
sticks and umbrellas, and did all
they could to draw the brute from
it's helpless victim. Ultimately, af-
ter severe mangling, the animal
relinquished it's prey, and the boy,
helpless and faint through loss of
blood from the injuries hc had re,
ccived, was bore away through the
crowd. His wounds, upon being
dressed, appeared to be Of serious
nature, though they are not likely to
prove fatal. The brute seems to
have caught its victim just below the
elbow, and took deep lump of flesh
right down the forearm to the wrist
There is also deep cash in the
palm of the left hand, from which
the hemorrhagc is great. The pa
tient lies 10 great pain, and it j
feared that he will not recover the
perfect use of his arm. One OF the
keepers has also been severely in
iured. He was struck by one Of the
elephants, and his ribs were smashed
in The man was taken to the work
house in e helpless condition.

PURSE PRIDE.

A toss of the head, or turning up
the nose does no one any special
harm, while it seems to do those
who indulge in such childlike ex-
| pressions of emotion, a deal of good
So who cares if the proud and lofty,
the spitefll and disdainful, or the
shallow headed signify their innocent
disapprobation in that way Nice
people never do such things. The
nicer person is the less inclined is
he or she to look down upon any
body, even the humblest and most
ignorant.
The least creature serves some
purpose 10 the world. 1t happens
occasionally that people who appear
the most important and imagine
themselves Indispensable to the
chosen few nice and most favored
beings, are OF far less account than
those they look down upon
A small amount of money, with
large debts added to short allow
ance Of brains, in little while con-
stitutes a most -supercilious creature

have been agreeable and obliging.
Good fortune is SO trying to the
mind that few can withstand its ruin
GUS effects. Money spoils so many
pleasant people that it is almost a
pity that everybody are not purse
poor.
Any one who estimates character
independent of its surrounding, is
sorry for the feeble efforts Of snob>
bish people who set themselves
above real merit, merely on account

However the starched skirts of

Socrates was farmer, and yet
welded to his calling, the glory Of
his immortal philosophy.
st. Luke was a farmer, and divides
with Prometheus the honor Of sub
iecting the OK for the use Of man.
Cincinnatus was a farmer, and the
noblest Roman Of them all.
Burns was farmer, and the Muse
found him at the plow and filed his
soul With poetry.
Washington was farmer. and re.
tired from the highest earthly station
to enjoy he quiet rural life and pre-
sent to the world spectacle OF hu
man greatness.
To these names may be added a

- q Marietta GEORGIA. FRIDAY Morning October Il
.cENsuRINa orHERs FOR WHAT
WE DO OURSELVES.

There is no habit, contracted by
frail and imperfect humanity, more
common, to all classes, ages, races,
sizes and sexes than censuring 9TH
els for doing things which we do
ourselves.
Mrs. Jones condemns Mrs. Smith
tor something she is doing or has
done. and Mrs. Smith in time con-
dcmns Mrs. Jones for perpesrating
the same act, either forgetting or in
tentionally ignoring the record Of
her own history. The farmer rides
along the premises Of his neighbor
and says that he is planting too
much cotton, and the next day his
neighbor reviews bis fields aud pass
es the same criticisms.
The young lady, fascinating, beau
tiful and accomplished amid circle
Of female friends, when full head
OF steam has been acquired and the
engine of loquacity is put to its
greatest speed charges her kind
gentleman friend with an attempt to
draw the love of each lady acquain-
tance's soul upon his self-conceit-
ed or self-important parsonage,
Charges him with making conquest
Of each contiding heart and either
not being able TO decide which he will
take or of being 90 destitute Of APP
probation as not to take any. In
turn this same young man hears the
praeticed lisp, sees the head hang
aside, the mincing mouth, the Ian
gud eye and the shippers on her lips.
lie notices all this and makes the
same charges.
Thus the stage Of life 10 always
occupied more or less by inconsistent
actors, when in truth there is not a
particle of reason for one to think
himself or herself better than the
other.
The selhshncss Of mankind is
clearl, demonstrated in all such ex-
amples. We are never willing to
accord to others the same privileges
that we ourselves take.

COMMON THINGS.

AS a rule, the present generation
is much given to turning up its dam
ty nose at common things. The shod-
dy upstart of to-day would ignore
completely the old homestead where
he was born, and the old-fashioned,
bomespun dressed parents who live
there. A few years ago, perhaps
he came to the city, poor, unpublished.
Now he spends money in ''riotous
living, and purple and fine linen
and bushes when questioned as to
his former residence. lie is gay 10
lavender kids, scarlet neckties, and
patent feathers, and would fain bans
ish from his own recollection that he
once held the pillow, the hoe, and the
axe. Ifone of his country cousins"
come to town he shuns him entirely.
The grub has changed into butter
fly, and is about as foolish. Shame /!
shame! The man who is above
common things lacks one somewhat
requisite article as the world goes,
and that is common sense Show
us man who is not proud Of the old
homestead, and the grayhaired moth
or and wrinkled father, and we will
show you heartless fool J! y.

HoME.--"Althougi it be homely,
there is 10 place like home," Is a
saying which, though trite, is true.
Afflaence may there be stranger,
no elegant carpets may adorn the
floor, damask the windows; poverty
indeed may have there taken up its
abode yet if loving hearts remain,
it is home, sweet home, still. Oh
how miserable those must be who
have no homes on this earth, where
the bright smile Of welcome greets
them, and where hearts bound
quicker for their coming! Bot then
there is another and higher view
to be taken Of that almost magical
word lone. just ask the poor
weary pilgrim, as he tolls on as q
heavenly soIdier--ask him what -
his reverb, and he will tell you with
exultation, il is home--a home IN
heaven, where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are
at rest.

A CORPSE ExHUMED TO KILL A
ISLANDER.

A Canadian gentleman named
Cameron ten years since returned
home from British Columbia, bring
ing with him coffin containing the
dead bodies of his wife and child,
who had died during his absence. -
They were inferred near Cornwall,
where Mr.. Cameron resides. Re-
Gently, while he was absent, some Of
his neighbors got up a story that
the coffin Supposed to contain the
corpse of Mrs. Cameron inclosed
nothing but a piece Of clay, that
lady having been in reality sold by
her bu~band to an Indian chief on
the Pacific coast for gold chain
Strange as it may seem, this mon
strous tale found ready belief among
the Kanucks, and when Mr. Cameron
came home he found it necessary 70
refnte it. so he advertised that on
certain day the grave would be
opened, and the corpses exposed 70

bodies were exhnmed exhibited to

OVERWHELMING ARGUMENT.

DR.. Lathrop in one of his sermons
says: "lf it wero true that there is
no God, what evidence can Inc athe-
list have that he shall not exist and
be miserable after death I How
came he to exist at all 7 Whatever
was the cause of his existence here,
may be the cause Of his existence
hereafter. Or, il there is no cause
he may exist without cause in an
other state, as we'll as in this. And
il bis corrupt heart and abominable
works make him so unhappy here,
that he had rather be annihilatcd,
than run the hazard Of future ex-
istence, what binders but he may be
unhappy forever 7 The man, then,
is fool who wishes there was no
God, hoping thus to secure from flu
ture misery, tor admitting there was
no God, still he may exist, and his
corruption and vices may render him
miserable eternally, as well "a for
tho present.
