DON'T LOAF.

We wonder if the young men en-
barking on the sea of loaferism ever
stop to count the cost. Yet there is
nothing SO expensive. 1t costs
time-whole days, months, years of
it. 1t costs health in waste of mind
and body. 1t costs honor and self
respect and the respect of your fell
low men. 1t costs happiness, in the
loss of virtue, morality and independ-
ence. The man who takes up loaf
ing for his living is the veriest slave
alive. He must submit to the kicks
of fortune, because he has not the
moral stamina to fend them off. Go
anywhere and see the we'll dressed
or ragged inanities that lounge
around or stand on the street corners
with cigars in their mouths, day in
aud day out, and you will have the
class who loaf for a living. What
good are they but to cumber- Gods
blessed earth, and to eat the food
better men strive sothard forY Do
something. Sweep the streets, cut
wood, dig, shovel, anything honest,
but don't loaf.

A PHENOMENAL INFANT.
[Boonyille (Mo.) Advertiser

James Martin Williams, beauti>
full little boy residing with his pa
rents in this city, has lately given ev-
licences of powers of memory that
astonish every one. He is not yet
four years old, and only learned his
letters few months since. Unlike
most persons who possess one facul
ty far in success of others, he is per-
feet in all. His eye bespeaks intel
ligence, his mind is. we'll matured
in everything for his age, and in his
demeanor he is child like and win
ming. Recently reporter of the
AdUcrtiSer visited him at his home,
and with others witnessed his most
wonderful answers to questions Civ.
en- him by his father. Sitting on his
fathers knee, he gave prompt replies
to his parent, telling the names of all
the planets, their characteristics,
their distance from the sun, and pc,
sition in heaven. In history he
proved to be very encyclopedia of
knowledge. The ancient kings,
their wars, the rise and fall of the
Roman empire, the career of Bona>
parte, the times of the death and the
age OF the rulers of England the
settlement of this country, and sim
liar facts, were as familiar to him as
the alphabet to an older person. He
named the capital of every State in
the Union, and of every foreign coun-
try, and evinced knowledge of the
Scriptures, the only parallel of
which was Christ in tho tenn
pie. He repeated whole chapters in
the Bible, and spoke in a child-like
manner, just as though rafting off
the veriest common place remarks of
other children ofhis age.
The first indication of this mar
velous faculty came to his parents in
this way. They are religious PEG
pie and each morning read from the
Scriptures before prayer.
Shortly after the exercises one
morning--several months ago--his
mother was astonished to hear him
word for word, the lines
from the Bible which she had read
an hour or so before. She called
him to her and found be could recite
other portions of the Holy Book.
She commenced teaching him his
letters, and in an hour and half he
had learnedth whole. He progress,
ed with wonderful rapidity and soon
could spell. A physician was con-
suited, and they were advised to
keep the boy away from books and
not allow him to study, as his health
would not allow it. Since that time
he has been read to by his father,
and now remembers everything he
has heard.

WHAT THE SOUTH HAS DONE

The Louisville CourierJOurnGl re-
veals the startling fact that since the
Inauguration of the national govern
ment there has been spent about one
hundred ninety millions of public
money on public improvements in
the northern states, while the expen'
ditures in the south have not exceed
ed seventeen million dollars. 1t
adds that this is the more surprising
when we rememb Der that the southern
states have at all times, excepting
during the war, furnished one hall
to three fourths of the exchange with
which we have paid our foreign
debts, and that, in default of south
ern productions, the supply of gold
and silver::would be inadequate tC
pay the annual interest charges OF
the national debt, and the govern
ment of the United States would in
evitably have dishonored its fOreigl
obligations.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.

An eight day clock which chimes
the quarters, plays sixteen tunes
every twelve hours, or at any inter,
val required, has been exhibited at
Paris. The hands go round as fol-
lows
One, once minute one, once an
hour; one, once week one, once
year. 1t shows the moons age,
the rising and setting of the sun, the
time of high and low water, half ebb
and half flood and by a beautiful
contrivance there is apart that rep
resents the water, which rises and
falls, lifting some ships at high tide
as if they were in motion, and it re-
cedes leaving these automaton ships
dry on the sands. The clock shows
the hour of the day, the day of the
month, there is a provision made for
the signs Of the zodiac, it strikes or
not, as may be desired ; and it has
the equation table showing the diff
ference Of clock and sun every day
in the year.

has no toes on its feet, no head, but
moves a great deal, and never uses
its feet for the purpose has one
foot at each end and the other in the

very popular among the ladies and

goes with one foot where its head
might be, drawing the other foot be-
hind. These feet have nails but no
toes, no heel and no bone in the foot.

cycling each other through the whole

kept guard over each other in the
asylum ever since.

HOW TO TEACH A CANARY.

A Pennsylvania has taught a
canary bird to sing "Home, Sweet
Home" in this way He placed
the canary in room where it could
not hear the singing of other birds,
suspended its cage from the ceiling,
so that it would see it's reflection in
mirror, and beneath the glass
placed a musical box that was regu-
lated to play no other tune but Home
Sweet Home" Hearing no other
sound but this, and believing the
music proceeded from the bird it saw
in the mirror, the young canary soon
began to catch the notes, and finally
got so that it sings the song perfec
lv.

GOOD TEMPER.

The great moral lubricator which
makes everything in human life run
without friction, is good temper. AS
soon as this is exhausted, the journals
of thu human machine begin to heat,
and wear, and screech, and the en-
tire mechanism becomes noisy and
ruinously wasteful of power.
The horse that frets, is the horse
tina: sweats, is an old saying of
horsemen, and it is just as true of
men as of horses. The man that al
lows himself to get irritated at every
little thing that goes amiss in his
business, or in the ordinary affairs
of life, is a man that, as a rule, will
accomplish little and wear out early.
He is man for whom life and dis
ease have particular fondness, am
for whom children have a particv
aversion. He is man with a q
petual thorn in his flesh, vhicl
and wounds at the slightta -
ment a man for whom "''u many
tie pleasure, and the
hope. scEpS

BEN HILL.

Last week in Congress, in the dis
cussion of the bill to restore ex>eon>
federates to the pension list, Ben
Hill made five minutes speech. He
denied that the south was response
BILE for the origin of the secession
doctrine, but placed that RESPONSE
bility upon New England, and he
concluded his remarks by asserting
that, while these very pensioners
were throwing up breastworks at
New Orleans, to resist the enemies
of our common country, the people
of New England were assembled in
convention at Hartford endeavoring
to proclaim the right of secession.
This brought Blaine, Kasson, Hoar,
and dozen of others to their feet
with demands for recognition by the
speaker, in order that they might
reply. Judge Hoar replied, severe
ly abiding to Mr.. Hill. The north l.
ern papers are bowling again, tell
ing Hill to keep his mouth shut.

A VALUABLE SECRET.

LET me tell you secret--a se~
cret worth knowing. This looking
forward to enjoyment don't pay.
From what | know of it, | would as
soon chase butterflies for a living or
bottle up mooushine for cloudy nights.
The only true way to be happy is to
take the drops of happiness as God
gives them every day of our lives.
The boy must learn to be happy
while plodding over his lessons the
apprentice while he is learning his
trade ; the merchant while he is
making his fortune. If he fails to
learn this art, he will be sure to miss
his enjoyment when gains what he
has sighed for.

BELKNAP WORSE THAN Bah
COCK.

The Democrats of Congress have
been investigating, and Belknap Of
Grants cabinet has been found gull
ty of bigh misdemeanors. A Mr..
Marsh has testified, against his will,
that he paid to Mrs. Belknap Sl0,>
900 cash and $1,000 year for three
years for the post>tradership at Fort
Sill. Belknap appeared before the
Committee, but made no defence ;
he simply asked for mercy, and said
he would resign, which he did do,
and Grant accepted his resignation
in haste, but Notwithstanding vote
of impeachment was unanimous.
The Senate was notified of the fact
and trial was ordered. 1t was also
proven that Belknap sold positions in
the army and clerkship in the war
department. Republicans are down
hearted and concede that BeIknap's
doings seals the fate of their party.
A peremptory demand will be
made, it said, upon Grant for the re
tirement of Robertson and it is be-
lieved Meiggs will have to vacate in
consequence of stupendous frauds in
the Quarter-M Master Generals office.
1t is further eaid that the admins
tration of Delano will be found
reeking and sinking with official
corruption. Verify, the President
surrounded himself with a precious
set of knaves, who no doubt are
congenial company.
