set" certainly has u faculty Of hitting on
very appropriate, if undignifed, names.
For instance, in the course of the am

he wished to interrupt the honorable
"hyena" from Maine. What could be
more appropriate? Who could so well
fill the character of "hyens" rs he who
wishes to dig up from their graves the

pose of devouring them in order to satisfy
his political hunger. The people don't
want any such hyena for President, that's

No Amnesty.

IT is mournful to hear the jubilation
among certain "leading Republicans"
over the Andersonville debate, for 1t has
had as little to do with amnesty as posi-
Bile. If the "bloody-shirt" of the carpet.
baggers is to haveth '.winding sheet OF
the rebellion substituted for it in the
coming campaign we think the Republic
cans mean to leave all live issues IN the
hands Of tho Democrats. Whether JEFF
ferson Davis is excepted or not from any
amnesty is of little actual moment; but
when party that owed Its
advent to power TO DIVISION
in the opposition party, that
kept its seat as an exIgency OF the war
of slavery, and now, with eleven years
of peace behind il, drags upon the grave
TO sustain its life by feeding on the car
case of the rebellion, it is time to turn
away disguised from the picture 1t rep
resents. We do not think that the
American people can be- made to vote
now on the winding sheet" and grave
clothes" issue; yet this was professedly
the object of Blaine's demigogery, and
which Mr.. Hills Incorporate language
is expected to aid.-Heratd.

who sang at his work, aud whose busy
hammer made merry music.
Not far away lived Herr Won Koben, a
wealthy land owner, whose only son,
when not at school, was wont to come to
the n%ailer's, where he would sit by the hour
and watch the bright sparks as they
Haw IN showers from the ringing anvil.
"Come Master Conrad" said the mailer in B
jolly mood "why not set the world an ex-
ample ? show them that the son of o rich
man can learn a trade. Who knows but thai
it may profit you one of these days 2"
The youth fell in with the humour of the
thing and pulling off his fine jacket, be
dOnned a leather apron, and went to the
anvil. He was bright quick lad, and,
when he had once attempted to make a
nail he had a pride to make it we'll and
so it came to pass that ere long he could
make shoe nails as deftly and as we'll as
could old Karl.
Time passed on, and Herr Won Koben
died leaving his great wealth to his son Con-
rad. A few years thereafter the armies Of
Frederick came sweeping through Silesia
and Conrad's inheritance was lost. In

mountains of Bohemia, until be came to a
town where q host of shoemakers were at
a stand for want of nails. Shoes were
in great demand for the soldiers, and a
great ptice was offered for nails. Here"
thought Conrad, sis my opportunity.
Let US see how my trade will serve me.
And he told the shoemakers if they
would help him to a shop and q forge, he
would make nails for them. They
furnished him what was required, and
he went at the work in earnest. He
made better nails than had ever been seen
in that section. He took apprentices, and
enlarged his shop, and in time Won Koben's
nails were demanded on both sides of the
mountains. BY slow and sure degrees he
arose to opulence as a manufacturer, honor
ed and respected as the founder Of his own
fortune, Aud it all came, as he was proud
to tell his children in after years from
having learned a trade in his youth.
