How much soever a man may
profess to love you don't forget,
my boy, that he always loves him
self the best. ach
The great error that the world
has always made, and always will
make, is to mistake pleasure for
happiness. al'aoI
Many man has spent his whole
life in search of fame, and found
it at last in the neglected corner of
some country churchyard.
Epitaphs are SO cheap nowadays
that no man ought to despair of
finally becoming famous.
Instead of being a curse I con-
slider it the greatest of blessings to
man that he was ordered to get his
hash by the sweat of his brow; no
bread got any other way will go SO
far or is half so sweet.
The best way to be happy Is to
have lots to do, then you have no
spare time to be miserable.
The most useless thing I can
think Of just now is an empty
pocket-book. Gm le9

the simplicity of his diet, and tho
lacking in energy, has wonderful
power of endurance. Two meals a
day Of rice, or thin cakes made of
meal and water, is all that the ma
jority have for their subsistence
There is really no need that any
one In a country like this should
starve. Sir John Herschell states
that bread may be made of some
kinds of saw dust, such as will sus-
tain life. According to DR.. Lyon
Playfair, man may lay pound of
flesh on his body most cheaply dy a
diet of beans and peas, the cost in
England being sixpence, or less
The usual cost at which people
maintain their bodies in good con-
dition is many times this small
unt,-the difference being spent
in the qualification of the palate.

Plain Living.

There can be no question that
much that is- considered necessary
now-n-days is not SO in truth, es-
pecially with respect to whatwe eat
and drink. We put into our stom-
achs what costs us no little money;
but does us fearfully more harm
than good. We pay more for our
food in order that we may have the
luxury Of dyspepsia, and complain
of hard times and poverty when il
we lived more plainly we should
have abundance, and be at the same
time both healthier and happier.
A Swedish Counselor, who had
emigrated to Minnesota, determin-
ed to make the experiment at how
little cost he could sustain life for
a year. He found that on Indian
meal the cost OF living was only
about five dollars. The Scotch
peasants, who are proverbially
strong, both in body and mind, live
almost entirely on oatmeal and kali,
kind Of cabbage.
II you wish to see how little is
necessary for subsistence and even
enjoyment, go and watch an Italian
laborer on railroad, while he takes
his favorite dish Of polenta. This
is made by stirring Indian meal in
to boiling water until a thick mass
is formed, much more solid than
our ordinary mush. This is divid-
ed into large pieces by a string. A
lump is taken in the hand and eaten
with q slice of sheep milk cheese
to give 1t q relish. Yet the Italian
can accomplish more work than the
German, who eats and drinks more
heartily.

On the golden tide
Drifting slow toward yonder evening red,
With the faint stars sparkling overhead.

Gone the ardent sun.
All is still, no wind or twilight blow;

The Sole Survivor.

A correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial writing from
Aurora, Ind, says:
must not forget to say that
met to-day at the fair probably the
sole survivor of the American
participants in Perry's v.ctory, to
whom / was introduced by Mr..
Lane. This was Captain Norris,
of Petersburg, KY, a very fine
looking old gentleman, hale, hearty
and clear-sighted at eighty-four
years of age. Captain Norris was
one of twenty volunteers sent by
General Harrison from Camp Sena-
ca, on the Sandusl1y river, to Join
the naval forces under Commodore
Perry (having originally volunteer
ed in a company raised in Mason
county, KY, commanded by Cap
tain John Payne), and was placed
on board the Caledonia, vessel
previously captured from the Brit
ish. The Caledonia carried three
guns, one Of which was a thirty
two FOUNDER. Captain Norris him
self served during a part of the
action. He remembers quite dis
tinctly Gas if it were but yester-
day." that he told me), all the cir
cumstances OF the naval battleMir-
Guiding the passage Of Commodore
Perry from his disabled vessel, tho
Lawrence, to the Niagara, and
gave me some of the minor anec-
dote history Of the engagement.
After the battle Commodore Perry
wrote to General Harrison, that
but for the twenty men the latter
had sent him-of whom Capt. Nor
ris was one--he would not have
gained the victory. The old vet
Gran told me he had from the first
understood this was the fact, but
was always little doubtful about
it, and never liked to mention it,
least it might savor of self-praise
or vanity; but at celebration Of
Perry's victory at Put-in Bay, 1869,
which he attended in company with
the late DR.. Talifero, of Cincinnati,
he happened to mention the report
to Col. Chas. S. Todd, since deceas-
ed, who was Harrison's chief on
staff, and Col. Todd confirmed the
old report, remembering distinctly
Perry's dispatch to Harrison. In
1860 the Kentucky Legislature
voted Capt Norris gold medal for
his services at Perry's victory, it
having an inscription to that effect,
Capt Norris father brought him
when four years old, from Mary
land to Kentucky, and he spent
the earlier part of his life near
Washington, in Mason county, but
during the past forty years he has
been a citizen of Boone county,
where he stands very high in the
estimation Of all that know him.
May / not here suggest that, as
probably the sole survivor Of the
veterans of Perry's victor, it would
be but proper that Capt. Norris
should be conducted to Philadelphia
to participate in tho centennial
celebration next year. He ought
therein to represent the western
navy. llA iaef

DEATH OF JUDGE A. N. OGDEN.

The family and friends of Judge Abner MASK
Ogden were yesterday informed by telegraph
Of his death, at Blount Springs, Ala. Judge
Ogden has been suffering for some time past
and he went to the Springs with the hope
that his health might be improved; in this
hope all who knew him heartily joined, and
when, few days since, it was reported that
he had died the expression of regret was
universal, and its correction was welcome d
with great pleasure; now, however, there is a
solemn certainty in the news, and all hope is
gone.
Judge Ogden was the head of q family,
among whom are some whose names are
linked indissolubly with the social and
political history of Louisiana, and he himself
has occupied such position in the esteem
Of our people as to make his death matter
of sorrow to large majority of our citizens.
Whether among his brothers at the bar or with
his friends in social life, he was noted for
his uniform courtesy and genial bearing.
Neither the heat of legal discussion nor
political zeal ever caused him for one mo-
ment to merit anything but the highest ap-
plause and commentator. To his family We
tender our heartfelt coincidence, and in COM
mon with all Louisianians, deplore the death
Of one who deserved and obtained the highest
respect and esteem from all whose good for.
tune it was to have had the pleasure of his
friendship,

When the chosen band is ready to depart from
the Egyptian slavery of Democracy, its proph'
ets priests and guides must be those who
have awakened the rebellion and organized it
This prize of leadership, (Which they can mo-
hope to win in the old organization) is q lure
too tempting to be resisted by speakers and
writers who vaunt their independence.
The man who in political matters does not
fear to form and express opinions at variance
from those of his party. is at all times deserv-
ing Of respect proportional to the pains he
has employed in trying to be right. There
must not be too much dogmatism on the part
of the leaders and counsellors, for if tolerated
it makes them imperious. There must be no
assumption of a right to dictate; the aver
age American has an aversion to die
tators, although an admirer of true
chiefs such as Lee was in war, Clay in peace,
and Jackson in both. On the other hand
there must be no servility on the part of those
who give their voluntary allegiance to their
party. There is an aspect in which political
adhesion becomes despicable Except where
promises are made and accepted in good faith
between candidates and those who nominate
them there is no especial sacredness in party
fealty.
1t is matter of opinion chiefly, every one
having perfect right to his own. Those
who leave party from honest conviction de-
serve no censure.
The spirit of independence which leads |
the members of party to criticise its leaders
and actions is really wholesome and con-
servative, but the spirit which inspires
wanton disorganization and the disruption |
of all party ties and associations is to be dis
as dangerous to the Republic.
