Charles Dickens Advice to His
Son.

Never take mean advantage Of any
| one IN transaction, aud never be hard
npou people who are in your power.
Try to do to others as you would have
them to do to you, and do not be dis
cour ged if they fail sometimes. 1t is
nlnch better Tor you that they should
fail il obeyipg the greatest rule laid
down by cur Savior that you should.
put New Testament among your books
tor the very same reason and with the
very same hopes that made me write an
easy account Of it for you when you
were little child. Because it is the
best book that ever was or ever will be
known in the world, and because it
teaches you the best lessons by which
any human creature, who tries to be
truthful and faithful to duty, can posi-
bly, be guided. AS your brothers have
gone away one by one, have written
to each such words as / am now writing
to you. and have entrea ted them all to
guide themselves y this book, putting
aside the interpretations and inventions
OF man. You will remember that you
have never at home been harrassed
about religious observances and mere
formalities. ! have always, been anx-
ions not to weary my children with
such things, before they are old enough
to form opinions respecting them. You
will therefore understand the better that
! now most solemnly impress upon you
the truth and beauty of the Christian
religion as it came from Christ himself,
and the impossibility of your going far
wrong if you humbly but heartily re-
spect it. Only one thing more on this
head The more we are in earnest as
to feeling it, the less we are disposed to
hold forth about it. Never abandon
the wholesome practice of saying your
own private prayers, night and morn
ing. | have never abandoned it my
self, and know the comfort of it.
hope you will always be able to say in
after life that you had father. You
cannot show your affection for him so
well, or make him so happy, as by do
ing your duty.

Don't Grumbie.

The Americans are nation Of grum-
bers. The business ma grumbles
when he is busy, and the idler grum-
bles because of his idleness. The mar
ried man grumbles because his wife
didn't start fire little earlier, and the
single man grumbles because he has to
kindle his own fire. The pastor grum-
hles because his people are not regular
in their attendance at church, and the
people grumbles because the pastor tells
them Of their faults. The printer
grumb les because his subscribers do not
pay, and the subscribers grumble be
cause he does not know how to run
newspaper. The butcher grumbles
about the price of cattle, and bis custo-
mers grumbles about the price of beef,
and sometimes go so far as to insnuate
that it runs fourteen ounces to the
pound. Policemen grumbles about their
pay while the people grumble about pay
ing for scanty service. People grumble
because Congressman make speeches,
and Congressman gruu,ble because the
people do not read them. People grum-
bic when tey pay their gas bills, taxes,
music teacher and milliner Grum-
bling is the national sin, beside which
the salary grab dwindles into insjgnif-
canoe. Grnmbling will only make a
bad matter worse. 1t does not tighten
labor, soothe pain or gladden. the heart !;
but, on the other hand, it adds to the
grieyou- burdens of life. The following
QUOTA from good sermon on the
subje by the editor Of the indianapolis
News right to the point: Whatever
comts ret it with light heart. Do not
scold r wife, your cnild~n, or broth
ers, CO sisters, or business associates :;
don' ruille anybody's temper. or vex
them. or disturb them. In short, don t
grumble at anything or anybody. -

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

LONDON, March %, 8 p. NJ
The annual race between the Ok
ford and Cambridge boat crews
came off this morning over the
usual course on the Thames, from
Putney to Mortlake, a distance of
four miles and two furlongs, and,
as has been the case in the past
four years, resulted in a victory
for the Cambridge boat, which
came in two lengths and half
ahead of its rival. The
weather was beautiful, and more
propitious day for tine contest
could not have been selected. The
crowd that assembled to witness
the race was unprecedented. On
the sunny side of the river, from
Putney to Mortlake, there was one
compact mass of people $50 feet
wide, and at the latter place car
riages five deep stood in long rows.
The Princess of Wales and the
Duchess of Edinburgh, who were
expected to be among the specta-
tors, were absent. Upon the toss
for choice of positions Cambridge
won, and selected the Middlesex,
or northern side. The Oxford
crew rowed into the stream at one
minute past IL O'Clock, five min
utes later the Cambridge boat APP
peared and was received with i'm
mense cheering by its friends.
Betting at this time was five to
two in favor of Cambridge. All
things being in readiness at four
teen minutes past eleven o'clock
the signal was given to start and
the boats got away simultaneous
ly. Cambridge had the advantage
from the first, rowing at the rate
of 81 strokes minute, but both
crews pulled steadily. After an
exciting contest Cambridge reach
ed the ship at Mortlake 81 minutes
and 35 seconds past II O'Clock, win
ming the race in % minutes and 80
seconds. The water though not
so smooth as would have been de-
sired, was fairly calm.
A CORRECTION.
LONDON, March %, 4:30 p. M
The University race was won by
the Cambridge crew by four
lengths, not by two as first an
nOunced.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-In the
Congregational Council yesterday
the first four questions under con-
sideration, involving only ques-
tions OF church discipline, were de-
cided in the negative by an infor-
NAL vote, but the remaining ques-
tons, involving the question of
fellowship with Plymouth church,
remained unanswered last night.
The letter sent to the council by
Theodore Tilton was not received
officially, but occasioned much
comment among the members.
The council was the subject of re-
mark at the regular Friday even
ing meeting at Plymouth church
last night, and Beecher preached
charity to all men. AT DR.. Storr's
church prayer was offered that the
codncil might be guided to correct
conclusions.

ORIGIN OF THE FORGET MB-NoT.

This popular tradition, which tells
how the name came to be applied to
the plaHt which now bears lis name
throughout Europe, is not generally
known. Its said taat knight and
lady were walking by the side of the
Danube, interchanging vows of devo-
ton and affection, when the latter saw
on the other side of the stream the bright
Olue flowers of the myosetis, and ex-
pressed desire for them. The knighr,
eager to crafty her, plunged into the
river, and reaching, the opposite bank,
gathered bunch Of flowers. On his
return, however; the current proved too
strong for him, and after many efforts
to reach the land he was borne away.
With last effort be flung the fatal
blossoms upon the bank, exclaiming as
he did Forget me notl.

The Imitation Scheme Must
be Vetoed.

New YORK, March 3O.-The
Herald this morning editorially
strongly appeals to the President
to veto the currency imitation bill.
1t says the bill does not materially
contain much that is either good
or evil. nor is it a vast meas
ure of legislation, but it is the prin-
ciple, the first step in career, the
gravity of which we cannot over
estimate unless we avert that ca
reer now, we may as well surren-
der the hope of rescuing the coun-
try from the pernicious conse-
quences of war.
A Washington special states
that the passage of the free bank
ing bill in the Senate is very I'M
certain, but the probabilities are
against it. 1t is probable that all
clauses providing for the return to
specie payment will be wholly
erased.

THE AFRICAN EXPLORER
His Remains Fully Recognized

New YORK, March 30.-A Lon
don special gives the details of
Livingstone's last moments. Ar
thur Laning and Jacob VAIN
wright arrived at Suez on the % h
of March with Livingstone's BODY.
They report him as having been
i'll with chronic dysentery several
months, and Was well supplied
with stores and medicines On
arriving at Muelala beyond Lake
Bemba, he asked his men to build
him a hut to die in, and they did
SO, and on the 1st of May he took
to his bed and suffered greatly.
He complained that he felt very
cold, and on the fourth day he be-
came insensible, and died about
midnight. The last entry in his
diary is April 81, 1873. Before his
death he spoke sadly of his home
and family, and when first seized
he told his followers he intended
to exchange everything for ivory
and push forward for Britain. AT
ter his death the Nas5ick tribe re-
moved and deposited his entrails,
placing tablet and plain inscrip-
ton to mark the spot. The body
was then preserved in salt and
dried before the sun twelve days.
The native chiefs fired sa-
lutte and beat drums in hon.
or of the dead. The journey
with the corpse to Umjamjembe
took six months. One of the
white attendants being ill, sui
cided. Livingstone's body was
then placed in a bark case, with
his clothing and papers and in
struments and conveyed to Fan
zibar, and thence to Suez.

CLAY'S JOKE ON ADAMS.

Henry Clay had standing joke which
he never failed to perpetrate at John
Quincy Adams expense, when he caught
his Massachusetts, colleague in con-
genial crowd. Adams was afflicted
during his whole life with disease OF
the lachmyral duct, which caused his
optics to be constantly watery. The
two occupied the same apartment, and
a rosy and buxom Swiss damsel attend,
ed the room. Clay's story was that
upon his attempting to snatch kiss
from his handsome chambermaid he
was bluffed off with;"Oh, Mr.. Clay, you
must not, for Mr.. Adams few minutes
ago begged me, with tears in his eyes,
for similar favor, and | refused him!"

A MILITARY POST.
The Strikers Overpewered.

NEW YORK, March 30--A spe-
cial dispatch from Susquehanna,
Pa, says the agent of the Erie
Company has conferred with the
strikers and arrived at a mutual
agreement, permitting all trains
to run; and paymasters are to pay
off all the men for February and
March, and the men so paid to be
considered discharged. The men
pledge themselves not to interfere
with the company's property nor
intimidate its employees, and the
company agree to make no arrests
for anything done by the strikers.
The strikers would have voted on
these terms yesterday, but the
sheriff interfered, causing delay
till to-day. Last night the mill
tary occupied the machine shops
and the round house, and guarded
the freight trains. There are
about five hundred military, in
Guiding battery from Scranton.
Susquehanna looks like q mill

Concerning the colors which will
most prevail in ladies' dresses this
season, "a fashion writer says: "The
mingled tints of the last few sea-
sons are disappearing and ten
dency towards the more positive
colors which were formerly in
vogue is observable. Still there
are shades and tints in
infinite variety, and the
silks which are exhibited for
spring wear are delicate and beau
tiful. Silver gray is predominant
but browns will, to a great extent,
divide the popular favor. Chest
nut and mahogany, which are the
favorite lines, include all shades
from the deepest and richest to
the palest and most delicate
Bronze and olive tints, which
were so popular, have almost en-
tirely vanished"
