The First Grapeyine-A Grecian Le-
upud

When Bacchus was a boy he jour-
ncved through Hellas TO 90 to Naxia;
and, as the way was very long, he grew
tired, and sat down upon a stone to
rest. As he sat there with bis eyes up
on the ground, he saw little plant
springng up between bis feet, and was
50 much pleased with it that he deter
mined to take it with him and plant il
in Naxia He took it up and carried
it away with him; but as the sun was
very hot, he feared it might witLer be
fore he reached his destination. He
found birds skeleton, into which he
thrust the plant, and went on. But
in bis hand the plant sprOuted 50 fast
that il started oct Of the bone above
and below. This gave him fresh fear
Of It's withering, and he cast abOut for
remedy. He found lions bono,
which was thicker than the birds skele-
ton. and he stuck the skeleton with the
pant in it into the bone Of the lion.
Ere long, however, the plant grew out
of the lions bone likewise. Then he
found the bone Of an ass, larger still
than that Of the lion; 50 be put the lions
bone containing the birds skeleton and
the plant into the ass's bone, and thus
he made his way to Naxia. When
about TO set the plant, be found that
the roots had entwincd themselves
around the birds skeleton, snd the
lions bone, and the ass'e bone; aud as
he could not take it out without DANA
ging the roots, be planted it as it was,
and it came up speedily, and bore, to
his great Joy, the most delicious grapes,
from which he made the first vine and
gave it to men TO drink. But behold
a miracle, When men drank Of il, they

little more, they became vigorous and
and gallant like lions; but when they

Honey BEES By MAIL.-A strange
question is nov before the Postofiice
Department awaiting q decision from
the Postmsster-General. A man in
Massachusetts, has invented cage, COM
posed of wood and wire netting, 10 send
honey bees through the mails. The trap
is block Of wood about six inches vide,
by an inch in depth; in this three large
holes are bored nearly through, and the
under side is covered with fine wire
netting. Seven bees, including queen
bee. are placed in each compartment,
and are introduced through a hole in
the side of the block, which is plugged
up by a piece Of sponge soaked in hon
ey The postmasters and clerks object
TO these packages, for the alleged rea.
son that the honey soaks through the
paper placed over the holes and daub;
other mail matter in contact; and, be
sides, as one postmaster complained
"the clerks in his Office did not get
through examining and studying the con
trivance until the bees stuDg ever

was made, and how to handleit withou
injury, the confounded things stung him

MISCELLANY.
Umbrellas.

A mau may lose friends, home,
position, fortune. They are different
from an umbrella. He mGy lose them;
he is sure to lose that. But he keeps
on buying or borrowing them. II he
buys one some one borrows it, and
returns it to the wrong man without
knowing it. IF he buys one some
one steals it outright, and he has to
borrow another from another source
to make it good. We don't under.
stand it. Nine out Of every ten men
who to day possess umbrellas are not
the owners of them. Heaven only
knows where the owners are. Per-
haps they are dead-perhaps 10 exile,
aud perhaps, which is more likely,
they are under other umbrellas. Peo-
pie will borrow an umbrella when
they wouldn't borrow anything else.
They will borrow it as long as there
is bit of cloth or rib to it. They
will borrow the stick if the slide is in
it. While it bears the remotest semb-
lance to an umbrella they will bor-
row it, and-keep it. We never yet
saw an um brella 80 reduced but that
some one would take it in. The only
time an um brella is really invaluable
is when you want it, and that is the
exact time it fails to appear. When
the sun is shining brightly and the
dust is FIVE inches thick on level,
an umbrella becomes one Of the most
repulsive objects in Chrstendom. On
such occasions it meets you on every
turn. You shut door and down II
comes and spreads out and trips you
up. You haul down your linen coat
from the closet and find something IL
holding it. 1t is that umbrella. You
move the -four barrel to look for q
rat and out comes that miserable
umbrella and scrapes your skin. Ii
raps you on the head in the stairway
and trips you up 10 the hall, ant
falls down on your head from The
garret, and when it siu't doing any
thing else it stands up in a corner
and wrings its HANDS and swears q
society. Danbury NetcS.

EDUCATION.

The corruption Of politics and tho
fragrant venality oflegislators can bo
corrected oaly by general public ed
ucation. What We want il commu-
nifty that in every part is On intclli-
gence that there shall be public SEN
timent that shall do what the individ-
ual volition and virtue Of men can
not do. We wants public SEN
tinent as can be created only in
universally educated community. Wo
want public sentiment that shall
make il so perilous and painful for
men to sell their country for mess
of potage, that they will not dare to
do it. Nothing will maintain law,
respect, power and authority, if We
are to be sold thus. But school
houses are more than q match for leg
islative halls. The schoolmasters
are better than the sheriff There
fore, educated educated
If the top ofsociety is corrupt, go TO
the bottom. The way to regcnerate
communities is to bring out more
manhood in the masses Of men. DO
not 90 back on the tn heOry Of liberty.
There is not too much, but too little
liberty. II men are easily mlsman-
aged, it is not because there is 20
little. An education that is empov-
ering Of men, is the salvation Of the
individ ual, aud, still more eminontly,
of the community. The theory ofa
free government is the true one. If
you will have government on the
inside, you need not have it on the
outside; but if you will have il inside,
you must havo it outside. He that
knows how to govern himself needs
no one to govern him; and a city, q
community, q state, a nation, that
knows how to practice selfgovern
ment needs few laws, few legislators,
few executive officers, and needs no
strenth in the central hand.
States should promote common
school education-free common sch ools,
| mean knowledge ought not to be
bought and sold when the State min
isters it,any more than air and water.
The State is bound to see TO it that
means are provided in every tow n
and township for the education of Its
whole population. Henry Ward

Marion.
1T seemed long then-it ssmes
long now, looking back to those days
yet she was not out more than three
weeks altogether. She did not quite
accom- plish her purpose, however; for
one day, after a rapid walk, she was
detained on q doorstep, with cold
damp wind blowing about her, while
a lady stood in the sheltered hall, with
door half closed, in9uiring rsrticu
larly int the merits Of the ink, and
insisting upon seeing some specimens
of its marking. By the time she had
completed her Investigations, and
announced that she had no money
to purchase with, Lizzie was
thoroughly chilled, and had taken
a violent cold. She was unable to
leave the house the next day, or for
many days, and when the first severe
illness passed away, o troublesome,
ominous cough still fingered.

his injury, and after weary months

SONG AND STORY.
THE FORTYoACRE.FARM.

I'm thinking, wife OF neighbor Jones, that mar
with stalwart arm
He lives in peace and plenty on forty-acre farm
While men are all around US, with hands and
hearts asore,
Who own two hundred acres, and still are want
ing more.
His is a pretty little farm. pretty little house
He has a loving wife within, as quiet es mouse
His children play around the door, their fathers
Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy little farm.
No weeds are In the corn-nelds, no thistes in the
The horses shew good keeping by their fine and
The cows within the meadow, resting meath the
beechen shade,
Learn all their gentle manners OF the gentle
milking maid.
Within the field, on Saturday, he leaves no era
died grain
To he gathered on the morrow for fear OF coming
rain;
He keeps the Sabbath holy-his children learn
his ways
and plenty nils his barn and bin, after the har-
vest days.
He never has lawsuit to take him to the town,
For the very simple reason there are no FENCES
down.
The bar-room in the village does not have for
him charm;
can always ind my neIghbor on his iorty-acre
farm.
His acres are so very few, he plows them very
deep;
'Tis his own hands that turn the sod-tls his own
hands that reap;
He has a place for everything, and things are in
their place;
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, c0ntentment
in his face.
May we not learn a lesson wife from prudent
neighbOr Jones,
And not-for what we havn't got-giYe vent 10
sighs and means?
The rich amt always happy, nor free from lies
alarms
But blest are they who i've content, though
small may be their farms
