Our Obligations to Hopeful Men.
Hope is a charming trait in men.
M oro ;c coroth;Oo @or,, oI I'm; ;ra b1o

Hope is a charming trait in men.
There is something very admirable
in conscientiousness; in it's depth;
in its endurance; III the acceptance
of iihwelcone labor and duty which
it carries with it. There is also in
the stringency of fear much that is
to be admired. 1t carries with it
great activity and intense provoca-
ton. But, after all, commend to
me the sweetness and inspiration
of hope. Men who have this facul-
ty largely developed, even though
they have but little education, are
children of the daylight. They are
perpetually alive to that which is
sweetest and best in life. 1t is true
that hope itself has its peculiar dan
gers. The whole generation of what
are called schemers are children of
hope. They are not balanced by
suitable caution, reflection and de-
velopment. Schemers are pioneers
of success. We always laugh at
them and never recognize how much
we are under obligation to them.
If you are starting on an unknown
channel, you are not glad Of any
mishap to him that goes ahead of
you; but if he run upon sand bank
he is buoy for you, and you do
not 60 there; and if another strike
some obstacle on the other side, you
take notice of him, and avoid that
obstacle. You profit by the misfor-
tunes Of the two men and 60 be-
tween them. You take the channel
which they both meant to take, but
missed. The men who 60 ahead
concoct new schemes, seeking some
thing better, laying the foundation
tor valuable results, though they do
not reap them. To be sure, the in
ventor in his day, received nothing
from his inventions; but then, that
invention bore fruit in another mans
hand, a little later. 1t is the function,
then, Of schemcrs to go ahead; to be
pioneers; to find new paths; to
break up the wilderness; to prepare
the way for those who come after
them. We speak Of them sighting
ly; we crown their memories with
contempt, almost; we say of them,
"Well, they had no ballast; they
never succeeded" 1t success means
to freight ones own pockets, they
did not succeed; but if a man has
succeeded whose life has been a
benefit to his fellow men, whether
it has benefited him or not,
then they did succced.-W ".

A patent inside paper, printed IN
Ohio, the Bucyrus Forum, has
come to grief all on account of its
insides. AS our readers may know,
one of the consultations of rural
journalism is to have it's insidcs
printed in Chicago and sent to it.
The Bycurus Forum has always
been one Of the straight-laced, new
er-say-die, roaring Democratic
newspapers, and is 2 staunch sup
porter of Allen, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Ohio. I'M
aginc the CONSERVATION and curses,
therefore, of the faithful in Bucyrus
and thcrcabouts, to read in the pat
ent inside last week the following
paragraph:
"The great antiquity of Bill Allen
is beyond question, as Homer
speaks of him under the alias of
'Stentor.' After Noyes has taken
some of the wind out of him, it is
said he will be offered situation to
act as fog-hOrn on the Rhode Island
coast"
The editor tried to make an apol-
ogy and explain patent-insides, but
the countrymen don't understand
patcnt-insides, and won't. All they
understand is that the above item
appeared in the Bucyrus Forum,
and that the Bucyrus Forum is rec
ommending Bill Allen for a fog
horn on the picayunish coast Of
Rhode Island. They won't be COM
torted. The Forum is o backslider,
a traitor, Black Republican, and
they are abandoning the Bucyrus
Forum to its fate, certain that it
will come to some ignomcnious end.
1t is warning to other rural jour.
nails to be careful what sort of doses
they take into their insides.

Pecuiiarities Of tho English Lam
guages

The following exhibition Of the
peculiarities of the English Ian
guage, as given by Thomas Blaice,
is, we think, somewhat amusing.
Its richness seems to consist ell
tircly in its truth. 1t must be a
teasing puzzle to foreigners, who
essay to learn to speak as we do.
Here is the exhibition:
The construction of the English
language must appear most tormid-
able to foreigners. One of them
looking at picture of a number of
vessels, said: "See what flock of
shipsw He was told that "a flock of
ships was called fleet, and that a
fleet Of sheep was called flock. "
And it was added, for his guidance
in mastering the intricacies of our
language, that ga flock of girls is
called a bevy, and bevy Of wolves
is called pack, and a pack of
thieves is called gang, and gang
of angels is called host, and a
host Of porpoises is called shoal,
and q shoal of buffalo is
called a herd, and a herd of child
rem is called troop, and troop of
partridges is called covey, and a
covey Of beauties is called galaxy,
and Il galaxy of ruffians is called a
a horde, and a horde Of rubbish is
called heap, and a heap of oxen is
called a drove, and a drove ofblack-
guards is called mob, and a mob
Of whales is called school, and a
school of worshippers is called a
congregation, and a congregation OF
engineers is called corps, and a
corps of robbers is called a band,
and a band Of locusts is called a
swarm, and a swarm Of people is
called q crowd"

Isaw the prettiest picture
Through the garden fence to-day,
Where the lilies look like angels
just let out to play.
And the roses laugh to zee them
All the sweet June day.
Through hole behind the w0odbine,
Just large enough to see
(By begging the lilies' pardon,)
Without his seeing me
My neighbor's boy, and Pharaoh,
The finest dog, you'll see,
For dog of kindly air,
And the tolerant, high-bred patience
The great St. Bernard's wear,
And the sense OF lofty courtesy
In the breathing common air.

Hands up to shield my eyes
From the Jealous roses. "FFanko!"
burst of bright snFpSise
Transfixed the little fellow
With wide. bewildered eyes.
"Frankoi" All, the mystery!
Up and down, around,
Looks Franko, searching gravcly
Sky, and trees, and ground,
Wise wrinkles on the eyebrows
Studying the sound.

The lilies viii not tell;
The roses shake with laughter,
But keep the secret well;
The wOOdbinc mods isnp0rfantly-
'-Who spokef" cried FfapkO "tell."
The trees do not speak English.
The calm, great sky, is dumb.
The yard and street are silent.
The old board fence Is mum;
Pharaoh lifts his head, but ah.
Pharaoh, too, is dumb.
Grave wrinkles on his eyebrows,
Hand upon hie knee,
Head barred for close reflection,
Eight curls floating free
The ,childs soul to the brutc's soul
Goes out earnestly.
From the child's eyes to the brute's eyes,
And earnestly and slow,
The clild's young voice falls on my ear,

The bright thought growing on him
'Did you speak, Pharaoh?'
I can bat think II Franko
Would teach us all his way
OF listening and trusting
The wise, wise Frankie way!
The world would learn, some summer,
TO hear what dun things say.

Scenes at tho Freedm on's bank.
From the Washington Star, Sept. 10.

From the Washington Star, Sept. 10.
There were some droll scenes at
the counter of the Freedmen's Bank
to day. The assembly is a mixed
one, the colored one, of course pre-.
dominating, and many questions
asked, which provoked laughter.
One old colored man with q black
hat crowded well down over his eyes
looking as if hen had Matched in
1t, having in his hands two umbrel-
las and fish pole, and blanket
wrapped around his tattered coat,
and shabby form shouted at the
top Of his voice upon recognizing
a female acquaintance, "Fore God,
Susan, dis chile has walked all de
way from Pohick, to git dat seven
ty-iive cents; aint gwine to lose any
thing shuah, honey. How dy'e?"
Another as black as Frebus rolled
in with cheap travelling trunk. His
appearance was the signal for gen.
eral laughter, for his physiognomy
would have provoked it, aside from
the trunk which he carried. A hus-
ky voice cried out: "What am you
gwinc to do with dat trunk?" "Oh,
go way chile; l amt got no pockets,
deys done gone, and I'se got free
hundred dollahs, l has. You poor
white trash can laff all you want" "
He fell in at the rear end of the line,
dragging his trunk, awaiting until
its "lengthened Sweetness, long
drawn out" should place him at tho
portal where the money-tellcr would
hand him his cash on demand.
Quite an amusing incident occur
red, in which the Hon. Peter Camp
bell figured. An old colored man,
whose locks were frosted to white
ness which betokencd four score
years and ten, having whip slung
over his shoulder, shuffied in with
his number twenty boots, and walk
ed on tip toe, fearing, perhaps, he
might soil the tresselated floor. Es-
pyiDg the Hon. Peter, he exclaimed:
"Praise de Lord, honey, I'se done
glad you'se heah; Use left de cart
wild load of coal up heah on de
corna, to see about dc ole woman's
money-shc's done got de bank
book-in the name of God what
must / do?" Mr.. Campbell assured
the old man that he had money in
the bank and proposed to leave it,
inasmuch rs he considered they
could weather any storm; the bank
was organized by the friends Of the
colorcd man, and they need not be
afraid Of any trouble or loss to them.
Upon receiving this intelligence the
old man threw up his hat and cried
out: "Fore God! Somebody pat
.juba;' l'sc leave my ole woman's
money here, sink CT swim!" And
casting contemptuous look on
those in the line, he said: "You'se
all Thomases! Oh, We OF little faith!
Look at dc poo trash trying to bar
rass derc trens-l'se gwine to my
cart, l isl" In the line was old
Fred, who is known to all printers
rs the "llash man." The old apple
woman OF Celtic origin had her
"chick" book, and was anxious that
the "dommed nagur clarks" should
hurry mp, as she wanted her two
dollars and half before the "dirty
