A Cheerful Send OF.

The following is an address Of Judge
Underwood, of Rome, Ga, to four young
lawyers who had just passed an examina-
ton in his court;
young gentlemen, want to say a
thing or two to you. You have passed
as good an examination as usual, perhaps
better, but you don't know anything.
Like these young fellows just back from
their graduation college, you think you
know a great deal. lis great mistake.
If you ever get to be any account, You
will be surprised at your present igno-~
ance Don't be too big for your breeches-
Go around to the justices courts and try
to learn something. Don't be afraid
let off on high key. You will no doubt,
speak a great deal of nonsense. You
will have one eonsolation-nobody will
know it. The great mass Of mankind
take sound for sense. Never mind about
your case, pitch in-you are about as APPS
to gain as lose. Don't be ashamed at
the wise-looking justice. He don's
know a thing. He's a dead-beat on
knowledge. Stand to your rack, fodder
or no fodder, and you will see daylight
after awhile The community generally
suppose that you will be rascals- There
is no absolute necessity that you should.
You may be smart but without being
tricky. Lawyers ought to be gentlemen.
Some ofthem don't come up to the stand
ard, and are disgrace to the fraternity.
They know no more than any other race
generally. They don't know anything
about sandstones, carboniferous periods
and ancient land animals known as fos-
sils. Men that make out they know a
great deal on these subjects don't know
much. They are humbugs-superb
humbugs. They are ancient land ami
mails themselves, and will ultimately be
fossils. You are dismissed with the sin
cere hope of the court that you will not
make asses of yourselves"

end graciously tell him it won't cost him
a cent. 1t takes money to run a newspa-
per as well as any other business; no
paper will succeed financially that carries
a deadhead system. Any mention of the
peoples affairs that they are anxious to
see in print is worth paying for, and when
printed is generally worth as much as any
other investment Of the same amount.
The newspaper business is very exact-
ing on all connected with it, and the pay
is comparatively small, the proprietors
risk more money for smaller profits. and
the editors AMI reporters and printers
work harder and cheaper than the same
number Of men in any profession requir-
ing the given amount Of intelligence,
training and drudgery. The life has MS
charms and pleasant associations. scarce
ly know to the outside wosld; but it has
its earnest workers and anxieties and
hours of exhaustion, which are also not
known to those who think the business
all fun. The idea that newspaperdom is
a charmed circle, where the favored
members live a life of ease and free from
care, and go to the circus at night on q
free ticket. and to the spring in the sum
mer, is an idea which we desire to ex-
pIode practically and theoretically. BUSH
ness is business, and the journal that sue
ceeds is the one that is run on a square
business footing, the same as banking or
building bridges, keeping hotel or run
ming livery stable.

vaulted into the saddle of the led horse,
and, setting his spurs into its TANKS,
started off for the Leyden road. Hav~
ing reached il, he turned round and
beckoned to the Captain, who was far
behind to ride by his side.
"Do you know" he then said, without
stopping, that those rascals have killed
John De White as well as his brother?"
"Alasl Monseigneur," the Captain
answered sadly, 81 should like it much
better if these two difficulties were still
in your Highnesses's way of becoming de
facto Stakeholder of Holland"
Certainly, it would have been better"
said William, "lf what dill happen had
not happened. But it cannot be helped
now, and we have had nothing to do with
it. Let us push on, Captain, that we
may arrive at A phen before the message
which the States>General are sure to
send to me TO the camp"
: The Captain bowed, allowed the Prince
to ride ahead, and, for the remainder of
the journey, kept at the same respect
full distance as he had done before his
HIghness called him to his side.

A Snake Adventure.
From the Franklin IN. c. Courier.

From the Franklin IN. c. Courier.
While walking through a path from
Perry's Church she saw a large snake
coming towards her; it very naturally
frightened her, and she ran with all her
speed, (she was only IS years OF age),
and the snake right after her. Very soon
she came to u small creek that crossed
her path, and cousin "Sally Dillard
like she prepared to cross, but the snake
caught her just as she reached the bank
of the creek, and commenced winding
himself around her leg in manner too
tight for comfort. She seized the reptile
bv the throat with one hand and with
the other drew her knife from her pocket,
which she opened with her teeth, and
cut oil his snakeship's head.

BY some unaccountable misapprehen-
sion of facts. says the Memphis Ava
larche, there is large class Of people in
the world who think that it costs little or
nothing to run a newspaper; and if they
buy copy from the newsboy, when too
far from the office to come and beg one,
they are regular patrons and entitled to
unlimited favors. Men call every day at
newspaper offices to get copy of the
paper for nothing, who would never dream
of begging pocket handkerchief from a
dry goods store, or piece of candy from
a conleclioner, even upon the plea Of old
acquaintance, having bought something
before. One paper is not much, but a
hundred day amounts to something in
the course of time. But this is n small
drain compared with the free advertising a
newspaper is expected to DO. Some men
who have paid two dollars at an early
period of life for an advertisement worth

CHAPTER w.
POPULAR JUSTICE.

The young man, with his hat still
slouched over his eyes, stili leaning on
the arm of the officer, and still wiping
from time to time his brow with his
handkerchief was watching in a corner
OF the Buitenhof in the shade Of the
overhanging weather-board Of closed
shop, the doings of the infuriated mob,
a spectacle which seemed to draw near
its catastrophe.
Indeed" said he to the officer, "in>
deed, l think you were right, Van Dek-
en-, the order which the deputies have
signed, is truly the death-warrant of Mas
ter Cornelius. Do you hear these people?
They certainly bear sad grudge to the
two De Whites"
''In TRUTH" replied the officer, II new
er heard such shouts"
They seemed to have found out the
cell Of the man. Look, look, is not that
the window of the cell where Cornelius
was locked up?"
A man had seized with both hands,
and was shaking the iron bars of the
window, in the room 1hich Cornelius
had left only ten minutes before.
"Halloa, halloa," the man called out,
che is gone"
"How is that? gomez asked those Of
the mob, who had not been able to get
into the prison, crowded as it was with
the masses of intruders.
"Gone, gone," repeated the man in a
rage. "the bird has flown"
"What does this man sayY' asked His
Highness, growing quite pale.
"Ohl Monseigneur, he says a thing
which would be very fortunate il it
should turn out truel''
Certainly, it would be fortunate If 1t
were true" said the young man, "unfor :
tunately it cannot be true"
However, look" said the officer.
And indeed, some more faces, furious
and contorted with rage, showed them
selves at the windows, crying
Escaped, gone, they have helped them
off"
And the people in the street repeated
with fearful mprecations,-
Escaped gone Let is run after
them, and pursue themp'
"Monseigneur, it seems that Mynheer
Cornelius has really escaped" said the
officer.
YES, from prison perhaps, but not
from the town; you will see Van Deken,
that the poor fellow will find the gate
closed against him, which he hoped to
find Open"

town-gates, Monsegneur?"

A Tea-Vender's Mistake.
Toronto Globe.


A good story is told of a certain tea
peddler, who lives not hundred miles
from Napanee. and who was pushing his
vocation in the back country. Having
called poor woman and asked her to
purchase box of tea, she told him that
she was not able to pay for il, wnereupon
he proposed to take the baby that lay in
the cradle in exchange for it; and, she at
once consenting, he took the baby and
left the tea, thinking the woman would
soon follow. When he came to the next
house he told what he had done, and
was informed that the baby did not be-
long to the woman, but had only been
left with her the night before. He then
concluded to return the child, but had to
give the woman another box of tea to get
her 10 take it back. He says he'll not
buy any more babies.

PIN EN- BACK ,GIRLS-PIN' EN- BACK.

Some people will growl about fashion,
And pirate of its fOlIies, but then
1t is law; for Shakespeare hath said, it
"wears out more apparel than men,"
"out of fashion"-the world will ignore you,
And call you dOwdy, tack;
Then a hint to the wise is sufficient
Pin 'em back, girls-pin 'em back.
In Rome one ofcourse would be Roman;
Fools follow the fashion, "they say"
But it's only the fools, lovely woman,
Who heed such croskers as they!
Some iRk-sliRgers use too much scandal,
And of plump, round lin bs" talk too slack,
But the tighter, the neater and sweeter,
So pin 'em back, girls-pin 'em back.
Some girls, like Susan B. Anthony,
Strong minded, may sickle for rights,
And dressed out in strong BloOmer costume
Have made themselves hideOus frights;
But these are not rules-they're exceptions,
And ought TO be burned at the rack;
Who cares if you can't climb ladder;
Pin 'em back, girls-pin 'em back.
Long trails and low necks had their season,
Skirts gathered in frills and gored down;
The train-lifter, hustle and sweeper,
Hoops large and small both wore the crown,
Have your own sweet way, pretty Misses,
Let impertinence stare in pack;
The world moves at your smiles and your
kisses
Do just as you please-pin 'eu back.
Old maids may scold at your caprice,
And talk of the good ''Long Ago."
They had as many fancies as you have
The worlds all illusion and show,
Then cut the skirts down tighter, closer,
Who cares for the worlds idle clack,
Let boys cry anatomy, muscle,
Keep up hearts, girls, be sure-pin 'em
backl
To-day" is an age Of progression,
Who cares for gOssip-such stuff
No odds if you can't step two inches;
Sit sideways, It's easy enough;
And twill show of your form and your figure,
But at this you all have knack;
lave your own pretty, sweet ways and notions,
Pin 'em back, girls. by Jove, pin 'em back !!

THE CLYDE AND GLASGOW.

THE CLYDE AND GLASGOW.
We reached the mouth of the Clyde just
at daylight This river IS renowned for
its beautiful scenery and also for the larg-
est and best ship building docks in the
world. The passengers were out bright
and early to gaze upon the beauties of its
banks. Land never looked as pretty to
me before This was the first had seen
since left New York, except the blue hills
Of Ireland, in the distance looking like so
many clouds. We steamed up the Clyde
to Greenock. a distance of forty miles be-
| low Glasgow. Here is located the GUS
tom house, and it is here that the officers
come aboard and turn the baggage upside
down" in search of tobacco and cigars,
and such articles as are imported from
our country. We were detained here
| about two hours and a half, after which
the Captain announced that he could 90
no farther up on account of the low tide
We were soon transferred to the shore,
put aboard train, and reached Glasgow
at 1880 a. m. My cousin and /, in COM
pany with Mr. Bevan and lady, of New
York City, (for whom we formed quite an
attachment on the way, stopped at the
Queens Hotel, a palatial building, and
run" on an aristocratic plan. 1t is pat
ronized by the nobility, consequently the
style. l much preferred little less style
and more TO eat. After dining, we got into
a carriage and took drive through the
city AMI to West End Park. Glasgow is
magnificent city, clean and nice, and
substantially built. Thebuildings are all
of elegant granite-not brick house to be
seen. They look as though they were
| built to last for centuries The streets are
paved in the same substantial manner
| Glasgow is a city of some 100000 souls,
and seems to be under good regulations.
The Scotch horse was something to attract
my attention. The idea occurred to me
that one of them would be a valuable adj
dition to an American menagerie. They
are certainly the largest specimens Of the
equine species l have ever seen. You
rarely see more than one hitched to an
ordinary wagon or carriage. West-End
Park is the pride OF Glasgow. 1t is ex-
tensively improved, and the air is loaded
down with the odor of flowers and musi-
cal with the chattering of birds. While
taking that drive, we saw what we were
told was the highest chimney in the world
(525 feet). 1t belonged to a factory of
some kind, and actually seemed to tower
among the clouds. We also saw the larg~
est livery stable in Great Britain, a stone
building, that covered whole square and
contained one thousand horses.

Ii the object of the centennial celebra-
brations of 1876 were merely to honor
the memory of the founders of the Repub-
lie, that alone would justify all the inter
est that is taken in them and the anxiety
which is felt that they should be credita-
Bile to the American name. The passion

forget thee, y Jeruselam, let my right
hand forget her cunning; if l do not re-
member thee let my tongue cleave to the
roof of my mouth, might we'll be initiated
by Americans when they think OF the cour-
age of their ancestors and the love of lib
erty that inspired it. But this tribute to
the Revolutionary heroes is not the final
end of the centennial celebrations; they
have present value, and their influence
should reach far and broad into the future
OF the country.
By recalling our common origin as Amer
leans, by reminding us of the Union into
which our fathers were formed, these ami
versaries should teach us to emulate their
wisdom and renew their spirit of fraternity.
They bring into contrast, stronger for the
lapse of years, the union of the north and
south which created the American Repub-
lie, and the recent war which threatened to
destroy it. Their highest value is that
| they commemorate one grand event pre-
ceding our jealousies and divisions, and
celebrate glories which all Americans
equally inherit The Revolution is COM
mon altar around which the whole nation
may assemble.
To use this opportunity wisely, so that
the end of our hundred years shall find us
more united than we were even at the be-
ginning, so that all the strife that existed
between these extremes shall be remem-
bered only as an evil dream, should be the
unanimous resolve. The centennial cele-
brations at Concord, Lexington, Ticonder-
oga and Mecklenburg, n. c., had pro-
found influence for good upon the country
The northern citizens who visited Meek
lenburg were welcomed with joy. and no
where was the fame OF those brave Carroll
mans who resisted foreign oppression cher
lshed with more pride than In the north
Another event which should be made Of
national Importance is the celebration of
the Battle of Bunker Hill, on the 18th
inst. 1t was the first great battle of the
Revolution. and we would have it fought
again with harmless guns under common
flag, and with victory for peace and re-
Cancellation. The committee who have in
charge the arrangements for this celebra-
ton could do no act more graceful and
wise than to invite leading citizens of the
south to be present and to take part in the
ceremonies The Confederate soldiers
proved their courage sufficiently during the
war, and are now ready to show their sin
cerity and loyalty. Let them be invited to
Bunker Hill. Upon that sacred ground
the men of the north and south can solemn
ly renew their pledges of fidelity and faith
and dispel the last remaining doubts OF the
war. Such an offer as we have suggested
would be received with enthusiasm in the
south, and we have no doubt that the re-
Spouse of her soldiers and statesmen al
