AS 1t "Ussd-tO-vva.'' and as 1t Is.


AS It 'sUsed-tO-Nas'' and as Ia IL.
Bill Arp, the Southern humOrist,
speaking of the good old days,
says:
We used to say: "Here, Bob, go
and catch Selim, and saddle him,
and bring him here in five minutes,
you black rascal; hurry up, you son
of gun, or I'll straighten you with
a thrash pole till you can't see. Go,
sir"
Now it's
ooh! see here, Robert, l would
like to have my horse brought out,
if you amt doing anything partik-
lef; bring him as soon as you can,
viii you r''
And there's the poor women
poor souls-it's all we can do to
taper 'em down to the situation.
"What did you spill that water,
for, Julyanna, you lazy, trifling, con-
temptible huzzy-pOsitively you
amt worth the salt that's put on
your Yittles didn't l tell you that
the next time you split water on
this floor I'd give you thousand
now take that-and that-and that.
Now go and get your wash rag and
come here and wipe il up, you good
for nothing imp of darkness"
But that's gone out of fashion,
and it is:
"Come here, Mary Ann, 1 want
you to go and see your Aunt Fran
ces, and ask if she won't come and
do my washin' this week. Tell her
I'm be much obliged to her if she
will now run along and be quick,
and I'll let you go to the circus"
Well, it hurts 'em - know it does.
1t hurts the generation mighty bad,
but the children growin' up an
comm on don't mind it, for they
never knoWed much about slavery
times. We old people won't last
long no how, and perhaps by the
time we pass away, and a new crop
grows up on both sides, the North
and South will be better friends.
hope so; for if we havn't been an
unhappy family for fifty years,
don't know where you'll find one.
l can't help recalling them old times
when my old carriage driver sot on
a high dickey, with a stOVe-pipe hat
on, and cracked a proud whip over
a pair of crickin blood bays, and 8
little yaller mig a standin' up behind
the carriage a hOldin' to the straps,

"Two small rocky islands in the
Behring Sea-" says the London
Globe, "Win soon have paid back to
the United State Treasury the whole
sum expended upon the purchase of
Alaska. When the cession of this
territory was granted by Russia,
people smiled at the bargain made
by the Americans. 1t was asserted
that the yankee shrewdness had de-
serted Mr.. Seward in the matter.
He knew better, and did not buy
with his eye shut. st. Pau's and
st. Georges Islands, belonging to
the Aleutian chain, have since been
leased to the Alaska Commercial
Company for sea-fishing AT a yearly
rental of 5 900. a tax of nearly
three dollars on each fur seal skin
taken and shipped from the island
is also imposed. As 100000 skins
are exported now to New York and
San Francisco, = fruitful source of
revenue is obtained from these two
barren rocks. This territorial en-
terprise of the u. States is there
fore q great success, and will proba-
bly, help to develop the idea so ran
idly growing in America, that CO.
loniai possessions are useful from
many national peints Of view"

A contemporary says II is remark
able that Raymond, Greeley, Ben
nett and Brooks, four OF New fork's
most successful and influential jour
nalists, should all have been entire
" self-made men, owing every par
ticle of their prosperity 10 their own
energy and exertion. But the truth
is that the career of these men finds
its counterpart TO greater or less
degree in the life OF almost every
successful man in every city. The
men of mark are, in a vast majority
of cases, not the SONS OF fortune,
but the industrious, energetic, eco
nomical, honest, go-ahead boys who
determined, when munching a crust
and wearing patched clothes, that
they would be the builders of their
own fortune. Such a purpose is an
infinitely better pledge Of ultimate
success than the legacies of legion
OF rich uncles.-COHrier-sJOUrnGt.

CHILDHOOD.

o child! o new born denizen
CT life's great city on thy head
The glory of the morn is shed
Like a celestial benisonl
Here at the pertal thou dost stand,
And with thy little hand
Thou openest the mysterious gate
Into the futures undiscovered land
by what astrology Of fear or hope
Dare l to cast thy horoscope?
Like the new moon thy life appears;
A little strip OF silver light
And widening outward into night,
The shadowy disk Of future years
a prophecy and intimation,
A pale and feeble adumbratiOn,
OF the great world of light, that!
Beyond all human destines.

OLD AGE.


The following lines originally APP
peared more than fifty years ago, in
a paper published by the boys OF
Eton College, England. Doubtless
they have been read by many, but
they may be perused with pleasure
again and again. They breathe the
very soul of truth, tenderness and
melody: "a p

That nmPs along in iite's decline.
Once wore a heart . youHg, AZ warm,
As fun Of idle thooshts ~ mine,
And each has had rs dreams Of JOY,
His own unequal, pure romanee,
Commencing when the bIushing boy
First thrilled at lovely soman's glance.
And each could tell his tale OF youth;
Would think its scenes Of love eyince
More passions, more uBearthly truths,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes, they could tell Of tender lays,
At midnight penaed in classic shade;

And maids more fsir than mOd'u maids.

sincerity OF soul.


Every man is conscious that he
leads two lives, that one trivial and
ordinary, the other sacred and re-
cluse; one which no carries 70 sOcie-
ty and the dinner table, the other in
which his youth and aspiration sur
vive for him and which is a conf
dence between himself and God.
Both may be equally sincere, and
there need be no contradiction be-
tween them, any more than IN a
healthy man. between soul and body.
II the higher life be real and earnest
its result, whether in literature or
in affairs, will be real and earnest,
too. But no man can produce great
things who is not thoroughly sim
cere in dealing with himself, who
would not exchange the finest show
for the poorest reality, who docs not
90 love his work that he is net only
glad TO give himself for IL; but finds
rather a gain than a sacrifice In the
surrender. The sentimentalist does
not think of what he does 50 much
as of what the world will think OF
the same. He translate should into
would, looks Epon the spheres OF
duty and can never learn how life
rounds itself to a noble complete
ness between these two opposite
but mutually sustaining poles OF
| what we long for and what We must.

County aevvspapers.

The Kentucky Sentinel, in COM
menting on the very excellent ad-
dress of Henry Watterson, before
the Indiana Press Convention, adds
the following sensible remarks:
"Another thing to avoid; Gratuit-
Gus work for party or candidates.
They have no right to expect it.
Office is inseparably connected with
salary. And the salary is what nine
out of ten candidates are after. The
candidate has as much right TO ex-
pect his tailor to keep him In cloth
ing without charge as to expect his
publisher to devote his paper TO his
| glorification before the people with
out pay therefor. Make the politi-
clans pay the same as other adver-
| tisers. And never allow a line of
"puff" to appear in your paper with
| out pay. Your merchant or grocer
does not expect to supply your fam
! lily from their stores without pay,
and they have no right to expect you
/ to advertise for them without re-
muneration. Selling goods or gro
ceries is their mode of making a
living. Publishing a newspaper is
YOUR mode of making a living.
/ They cannot give their goods away
without loss, and you cannot give
away space in your paper without
/ loss. That which will beggar them
will beggar you. That's the whole
truth OF it,"

Extraordinary Physical Strength.

THE strength and dexterity of the
"hamals" of Constantinople in carrying
enormous burdens are, says the Levant
Herald, provcrbal, and it is surprising to
see one of these poor Eastern portcrs
quietly plodding his way up and down
some billy street with perfect mountain
of material piled upon his back. The
loads they carry are most miscellaneous,
but even old residents, btdses on that
point, were astonished recently to see a
hamal staggering along the Grande Rue
de Pera with large ur-wheeled car
riagc-all complete except the horses
dashed on TO his porter's knot. 1t would
be interesting to know what are the hab
its and diet of this powerful hamal. Is
he an early riser? Is he a teetOtallerg
Does he smoke? and how did he bring
himself into such condition that he can
carry carriage instead of requiring a
carriage to carry him? His muscular
power must far exceed not only that of
Milo, but even that of the famous En-
glish athlete, Thomas Topham of Isling-
ton, who on the 21st of April, 1889, adver-
tised himself to perform several feats of
strength at the Nays Head, Gateshead,
on the 23d of that month, namely: she
bends an iron poker, three inches in cir
conference, over his arm, and one OF two
inches and quarter round his neck; he
breaks rope that will bear 1000 weight,
and with his finger rolls up pewter dish
of seven pounds hard metal; he lays the
back part of his head on one chair and
his heels on another, and, suffering four
men to stand on his body, he moves them
up and down at pleasure; he lifts table
six feet in length by his teeth, with 100
weight hanging at the further end OF it,
and lastly, to oblige the public, he will
lift but full of water" Topham, how
ever, did not, like the hamal of Constan-
tinople carry four-wheeled carriage on
his back, nor did his extraordinary
strength conduce to the equanimity Of
his temper or to his peace of mind, if we
may Judge by his end, for in the obituary
notices of last century it is stated that on
August 10, 1749, "died Thomas Topham,
known by the name Of the Strong Man,
master Of publick-house in ShOreditch,
London. In a fit of jealousy he stabbed
his wife, then cut his own throat and
stabbed himself, after which he lived two
days"
