BE- Some people won't work unless
they can get high wages. Better work
for whatever wages you can get than
remain idle. Idleness is the Devils
work shop. When you are not at work,
doing something to make the pot boil,
the Devil is around with his oily tongue
and dragnet, uttering smooth and de
ceitful words, trying by every means
within his power to lure you to destruc-
ton. 1t is when you are idle, and your
mind open to tiattery and seduction
that Old Nick draws around you the
ropes by which he will bind you fast to
his chariot wheels. Boys, young men,
don't he idle and dissipated. Don't be
idle Work for what You can get-by
and bye you will get little-y0u will
he able to set up for yourself Look
mt Old scratch is about. Mind what
we say.

ding TO the fact the Washington Chron.
icle saws "Mr. johnson is the first ex.
President who has ever returned to the
capital of the nation after the expira-
ton of official term of service in pure
" social manner. Ex-President John
Quincy Adams returned as member
of the House Of Representatives, and
ex-President Tyler as member OF the
Peace Congress. Others may have
done likewise when called by public du-
ty in some other capacity but unless
so called to the scat of the National
Government Washington society has
heretofore insisted that it had no place
for ex-oflicals of this high grade. Ex
President johnson, however, treats this
usage with absolute Indifference. He
comes and goes like any other citizen,
and receives his friends in that simple,
unostentatious manner which character
ICES those long accustomed to cultivated
society. His present visit has already
been protracted several weeks. His
bearing and manners are those of gen
tleman at home among friends" -.fE

THE REGISTER.
ShepherdstOwn, West Va:
PURITY OF SpEECH.

Nothing so strongly indicates the
man of pure and wholesome thoughts
as habitual putty OF speech. BY his
conversation, among his own kind You
may always accurately form an opinion
rs to the moral worth of man. 1t Is
there, where no restraint is supposed to
placed upon his words that you discov-
err his true nature If he be given to
looseness or discourse, or his mind wan
ders to the discussion of subjects pro
scribed in mixed company or respecta-
BILE society, you may justly mark him as
one with whom association Is undeslra-
bic.
The individual whose mouth is ever
full of indicate illusions, or whose
tongue is ever ready tripping to give 4
good round oath, is by no means per-
son to be courted rs companion OF
valued as friend.
If a man reflect, after vomiting forth
an obscene expression or disgusting
blasphemy, he must feel his self respect
shocked, if habitual profanity or obScen-
ity have not already destro! ed it entire
". An observing person cannot fail to
note with feelings akin to horror the
prevalence of the vice that we condemn
among not only grown persons, but the
youth in our thoroughfares and on our
street corners, often within the hearing
of the most sensitive and refined fe-
males, sometimes even levelled at the
ears of young girls on their way to and
from school and other places. These
cigar-smoking and profanc boys and
adolescent youths acquire this habit
from the pernicious example of their
elders, against whom the rigor OF the
law should in all possible cases be en-
forced.
Another of the causes, and most
potent cause of the growth and extent
OF this evil, is the introduction in mag
azlne articles OF newspaper reports, OF
profanity, and the careless habits OF
authors and actors i'll stage plays, where
tbev aim to give strength or emphasis
10 their intrinsically weak creations or
conditions by coarse or profane epithe's
Intersections or illusions.
These violations of decency and sense,
added to the polluting pictorlals that
are shamefully displayed aud sold from
every ncwsvender's shop or STALL and
cxertine an influence over the thoughts
and passions Of our people, young ana
old. whose consequences are III the
highest degree dcleterio"s to the growth
Of those qualities which make good men
and women in society, as well us good
citizens in civil life.

HABITS OF BLACK BAss.-A writer in
the Germantown Telegraph communi-
Gates some interesting facts in regard to
the breeding habits Of the black bass as
observed by him i'll the Delaware river
and elsewhere. lie remarks that rs the
time for spawning draws near, the male
and female fish comes together in pairs,
each pair having separate spawning
ground. \ gravel bottom is usually
selected which is free from sticks and
stones, which is cleared for space Of
about two feet in diameter, readily re-
cognized by It's clean regular appearance.
When the eggs are deposited and I'M
pregnated by the male, both watch with
great assiduity over the bed, driving off
every intruder. When the eggs are
Matched, the entire family moves away,
the parents attending upon their young
until able to take care of themselves,
when they drop away one by one. The
writer remarks that he has seen bass
an inch and half long with a fish three
fourth of an inch long in its mouth.
Their growth is very rapid, being as
much as from two to four inches in a
month. The author having watched
some in stream recently stocked with
them, was able to appreciate their IN
crease in size from week to week, They
reached the length OF five or six inches
by autumn.

Esg- ArrENrloN.-We call attention
to an article printed elsewhere, from the
Free Press, on the subject Of Courts.
This is a subject of great Importance to
people in this part of the County, which
is distant from the Courthouse. The
Legislature is in session, and we should
obtain the requisite laws at once. We
We submit as a suggestion, that the
magistrates take the matter in hand.
Surely their constituents, who have to
dance attendance six weeks at Court,
will give them many thanks.
