Sunday, the 18th inst, was the

of Ashland. He was born on the

1777, consequently, Sunday was
his ninety seventh anniversary
We wonder what would be the sol>

be permitted to spend his ninety
seventh anniversary in the ns-
tional capital. He would see in
competency and corruption, Credit
Mobilier, Back Pay Grabs and
Sanborn Contracts, pecculation and
royal extravaganza, and above all
he would see a political system
known as Butlerism claiming to
possess the spirit of Clay. We

tomb, glad that his dsy was fnish>

The latest tragedy in Kansas, al
| though not up to the standard attain
ed by some of its numerous predeces-
sors of late years, possesses some ex-
citing features. John Pearce, of
Jacksonville, married Anthony A
mend's daughter some time ago, and
it having come to theyoung husbands
ear that his father-in-law had said
that he malrreated his young wife,
John took the old gentleman to task
for his assertion, and, upon his re-
fusing to recall it, Pearce discharged
a volley of hot shot into his father-in-
laws body, killing him instantly.
Pearce took refuge in the woods. In
stantly vigilance committee, COM
prising eighty citizens, was organized,
and the murderer was hotly pursued,
but the density of the timber ard the
height of the grass afforded the
refugee a retreat that for a time
detied discovery. Finally the vigil
ants lighted the grass, and the fire
drove the murderer from his hiding
place. He fled again toward the
the river, plunged in and swan across.
The avengers pursued him hotly, and
likewise leaped into the river and
swan for the opposite shore. On
dry ground again, the chase was
renewed. and maintained until the
murderer was brought to bay. Then,
the water having rendered his
revolver harmless, he surrendered.
Pearce was taken back to Jackson
vile by his captors that night, and
the next morning his dead body was
found hanging to the limb of a tree
in the village common.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH
LEISUREe

Rest, you say-the cry is for rest;
rest from occupation, from care, from
anxiety, from questioning, from doubt,
from the hunger of the mind, from the
endless pursuit of what cannot be reach
ed. from turmoil, and battle, and ambi-
tion, from the greediness of passion, and
the gnawing unrest of sin. Yes, the
word rest is delicious the thought of
rest is sweet the vision of rest is en-
chanting the hope of rest alleviates
and consoles. But what is rest 1t is
not sleep, for sleep is unconscious, and
we must be conscious of the blessedness
of unconsc1ousness, in order to enjoy it.
1t is not idleness, for idleness is ignoble.
1t is not vacancy, for vacancy is moth
ing L. - 49, -al4o--Atio..-of- -7-l-, 20
alienation of work is only variety of
unrest. Rest is perfect reaction from
energy : is state of complete, happy
reception it is conscious oblivion it is
the sense of having no sensations it is
ecstasy without emotion dreamy de-
light fullness without pain. Such a
blissful condition is felt rarely, and is
of brief duration To the most it is so
unknown and so hopeless, that they as
sociate it with heaven, and dream of it
only when life is done They who can
rest are the happiest; for rest is the per-
feet recreator. 1t is inaction, and it Is
joy-a complete experience Of both. But
rest cannot be commanded, and, in de-
fault of it, what is there but amusement
that diverts without misleading, dissi-
pates without corrupting, entertains
without exhausting that is pleasure
without nervous waste, and delight with
out delirium cup that cheers, but
does not inebriate It's Office is to rec
reate by indirection, to fill leisure with
innocent gayety. That is the best amuse-
ment that most thoroughly amuses not
that instructs. elevates. purifes. but en-
tertains, making, while it does so, the
least possible draught on the mind, feel
ings or will. 1t has no philosophy it
has no ethics it has no intention, ex-
cept to spread a genial happiness over
the system. 1t is not in its nature to
hurt any living creature ; it is against
its being to be savage, cruel, or harsh
toward a living thing-man, beast, or
insect. 1t bears no. malice it has no
bitterness in its heart; it carries no ven
ON beneath its tongue; it aims no shafts
at goodness or worth /; its laughter is
harmless, its wit sunny. its humOr gen.
erous. 1t is child of light and laugh

it holds in aversion. 1t promotes good
will dIsarms evil temper. dispels rancor,
exercises fear, and puts the mind in
sweet relation with the world of fortune
and mankind.-O. u. Frothingham.

The Game of Life.

This life is but game of cards,
Which mOrtals have to learn
Each shuffies, cuts and deals the pack,
And each trump doth turn;
Some bring high card 10 the top,
And others bring low.
Some hold a hand quite flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand,
And pack their cards with care,
SO they may know when they are dealt
Where all the leaders a.e.
Tins fools are made the dupes of rouges
While rouges each other cheat.
And he is very wise indeed
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards TO save,
Some play the duee. and some the ten.
And many play the knave
Some play for money. some for fun,
And some for worldly fame,
And not until the games played out
Can they count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules tire hour,
No thoughts OF sorrow check our joy
In beauty's rosy bower;
We sing. we dance. sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while our trump remains on top
Our games holiday.
" ntn chance 10 crown the pdck
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
BY gamblers Young and old:
Intent on winning each his game
Doth watch with eager eve,
Huw he NAV see his nelghbOr's cards
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for war,
On ocean and on land
The bloody horrors alway come
When clubs are held in hand:
Then lives are staked instead of gold,
The dogs ot war are freed
Across the broad Atlantic now.
See clubs have got the lead
Last game of all is when the spade
Is turned by hand of Time
He always seals the closing game
In every age and cline,
No matter how much each man wins
Or how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game
And dig the players grave.

ATTRAcTIvEsEss.-It is not your neat
dress, your expensive shawl, or your
golden fingers that attract the attention
of men of sense. They look beyond
these, 1t is your character they study.
If you are trrfing aud loose in your con-
versation, no matter if you are as beau
tiful as an angel-you have no attrae-
tion for them. 1t is the true loveliness
of your natures that win and continue
to retain the affections of the heart.
Young ladies miss it, who labor to i'm
prove their outward look, while they be-
stow not thought on their minds. Fools
may be won by gewgaws and fashiona-
bic, snowy dresses but the wise and
substantial are never caught by such
traps. Let modesty be your dress. Use
pleasant language. and though you may
not be courted by The fop and the sap,
the good and truly great will love to
linger.

according to their popular manner of
clothing; thethird day of the week was
dedicated to his worship. Woden. from
which comes Wednesday, was valiant
prince among the Saxons. His image
was prayed to for victory. Thor. from
