Dare TO Differ.

1t is not to be expected that everybody
will think alike. Yet, how many there
are in this man-fearing, man-pleasing,
man-serving age, who bend their own
opinions TO those of other people. The
strong mind leads the weaker. 1t is true
that age, experience, or superior wisdom
should command respect and Difference,
but if your opinion is sought, give 1t
honestly. Because you differ with an
individual ON some subject, is no good
reason, however, for harsh speeches or
continual wrangling Don't be guilty
of this, neither make yourself unhappy
by entertaining unkind feelings toward
your opponent. On the contrary, agree
to disagree and mutual good will may be
maintained. There are some people, who
seem so welded to their own personal
say so" that unless everybody agrees
with them, they come to the conclusion,
at once, that the mass of mankind must,
of necessity, be wrong. Let such prove
their infallibility and they will be set up
Immediately as standards of thought
and action Some of this class, if con-
WINGED of error in their ideas, only con-
firm the truth of the old saying that
"A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still.
To differ openly and personally with
such people is extremely unpleasant,
but justice to yourself or the cause which
you represent, may sometimes demand it.
Do it then sincerely and politely but re-
member not to say toomuch, for the few
est words often contain the strongest ar
gument. Another class are continually
changing their opinions, being of one
mind to-day and another tomorrow, just
to please present company and save the
risk of an opposite expression. Let such
beware lest their fckleness lead to trou-
BILE. Study to cultivate correct judg-
ments and then, if need be, differ. All
honor to him who has the courage to
give an honest " no when eyes is ex-
pected.

Learned Fools.

The exuberant focundity of the imag-
NATIVE faculties of some geological sa'
wants led them into a blunder recently,
which would be amusing if only it were
degree or two less ridiculous Itappears
that in the Turkish collection psychological
specimens which were exhibited at the
Vienna Exposition, were a number OF
odd-looking instruments of flint, six in
ches long, an inch broad, and quarter
of an inch thick. After a close examin-
nation of these unique curiosities, and a
large amount of reconcile eackling over
them by learned geological experts, they
we're pronounced to be flint knives ofthe
veritable Stone Age. The discovery was
hailed as great acquisition to science;
and, in the opinion of these learned
pundits, went far to prove that man ex-
listed and delved and worked with tools
at period far earlier than any of which
we have any record in the Bible. Geol-
ogists were triumphant over these won
derful hints, which had proved the antiq-
uity of prehistoric man and dissipated
another of the fables Of the Inspired Rec
ord. But" mark now, how plain tale "
has put these savants down, and how
completely they hoaxed themselves by
trusting to their own fertile imaginations.
1t has been discovered that the hints in
question are modern instruments which
are in universal use at this day by peas
ant husbandmen of Rumelia, Anatolia,
and Syria, in the construction of their
threshing machines, which are armed
with these knives. There is the whole
of the mystery! The learned biologists
knew all about the stone age, but were
utterly ignorant concerning the present
age. The incident is an evidence of the
slight foundation on which scientists are
won't to build their facts, as we'll as OF
their easy credulity. or shall we say
gullibility- Christian Mteligencer.

On COOKING d" GREENS. Every
housewife thinks she can cook greens. "
1t is the simplest of all dishes and yet,
in most cases, they are not we'll served,
for much depends upon the manner in
which they are boiled. The water should
be soft, and a tablespoonful of salt added
to a large sized pot of it, which should be
boiling hot when the greens are thrown
in /; and then it should be kept on the
boiling gallop, but uncovered until they
are done, which can be told by theil
sinking to the bottom of the pot, and
they should be skinned out as quickly
as possible into a colander, so that all
the water will run out. Press them witt
a small plate, then turn upon platter
add large piece of butter. and cut W
fine. Serve while smoking hot.-Th,

A SHEEP SToRY-A few weeks since
statement went the rounds of the press
that the hay seed which was scattered in
the wool of some sheep belonging to
Richard Batchelder Of Salisbury, n H.,
while feeding them in the winter, had
sprouted on turning them out in the
spring, and the sheep were bearing about
with them crop of grass two inches in
length. This story probably reaches the
poetical editor of the New York Mil on
one of our late hot days, and this is the
way he tells it. This version should
be read aloud. This is the most in
teresting story that we have ever seen,
concerning some New Hampshire sheep
who are wearing of the green. Twas
related by person on whose honor we
rely, he never hacked cherry trees, and
shouldn't tell lie Robert Batchel-
der, this was the shepherds name, and
he pastured twenty eight sheep on Sails
bury plain. But when the leaves had
fallen, and November winds were chill,
why out on the open world they couldn't
get their fill. SO Bobby kindly put them
in well protected shed, with hay enough
to feed them in the NOV up over head
And the seed is sifted, down it went, lodg-
ed in their wool, ard there it did remain
till the April moon was full. And then
out went the mutton, all in the rain, you
know, and in less than twenty-one days
the seed began to grow and it grew; and
it grow-ed like the bean in fairy song
and now the grass upon their backs il
more'n two inches long. And, it is ex
pected, that, later in the year, read, fra
grant clover blossoms will appear. The
moral of this sheep tale is clear to every
eye. that by judicious management, if q
person cared to try, he might, with little
trouble, and with aid of rainy weather
have his lamb and green peas growing
up together"

The Democratic Central Commit
tee of this State have agreed upon the
18th day of June, as the day upon
which to hold their State Convention,
the anniversary of the battle OF
Bunker Hill. The Democracy seem
to have no recollection of great mod
ern victories upon the field Of glory.
They used to have all their conven-
tions on the 9Th Of January, the day
of the great battle and victory of New
Orleans. But that is too modern,
they go back beyond the present gen.
Grafton. Why do they not hold some
Of their great political conventions
and festal occasions on the day of the
battle and fall Of Richmond? Have
they forgotten already that was the
great day upon which the rebellion
was crushed out, and the great prob
lem as to the competency of the
American people to maintain and per-
petuate Republican form Of govern
ment was solved, We suggest that
our Democratic friends bolG their next
Presidential or National Convention
on the day the glorious victory at
Richmond was attained.

w. Marshall Anderson, president
of the Circleville Board Of Education,
has directed the teachers to omit re-
ligious exercises and the reading of
the bible at the opening of school in
the morning. This, as we understand,
was done without the knowledge or
consent of the School Board, and is
regarded as an arbitrary order on the
part of the President of the Board
These exercises have heretofore been
left optionary with the teachers. The
presidents orders will probably be re-
versed.
