4 certain parish schoolmaster i'll the
south of Scotland was much annoyed
by the obtuseness of one of his pupils
in committing to memory the metrical
version of the Psalms Of David, a por-
ton of which is generally allotted to
each pupil as a Sunday task. One Mon
day morning, Tam, as usual, was Il
BILE to repeat even a small portion OF
his psalm. Turning to the class, the
master inquired if any OF them had seen
Tam on the previous day, OF if they
knew how he employed his time. This
appeal for information was at once an
swered by a chorus Of voices one boy
calling out that he saw him "gudding
minnows in the milburn;' another that
he met him seeking for birds nests;
a third caught him bathing in the lin;
and a fourth saw HIM FOSTERING his
grandfather's ass down in the meadows.
During the colloquy, however, Tam
found slime to collect his scattered
recollections; and he cut short further
dispositions by starting in q low and
plaintive,tone his allotted psalm
o Lord, how are my foes increased
Against me many rise;
which he repeated to the eud. 1t is
needless to add that further proceedings
against him were stayed for that day.

The other morning as the conductor
of a train going west from Detroit was
passing around after tickets, he came to
a man who waived him away with a
very important air, at the anne time
remarking: 'Pass on, sir; pass on
81 want your ticket" replied the con-
suetor. "Ticket. you hireling of an,
arehy," shouted the man, putting out
his checks. "Sir, l own this road! [

shall diseharge you on the spot, even if
you have a dozen children to support"

was LEFT on the track between TWO sta

not only conquered the south, but they have
as certainly awed the north into silence.
What a picture for the closing month
of the centennial year-the great Ameri-
can republic p limping into 1877, dragging
at her heels the PROSTATE form of three dead
states. Unfortunately we can not bury

look at Louisiana. The people OF that
sovereign state also elected men to vote
for Tilden and Hendricks, but a ma
chine with more teeth than cotton

stripped them of their authority,
and while you in all the pride of power, cast
your votes for the men who are the choice
of the people your associates in the grand
work in Louisiana stand blistering under a
southern sun, and if they were TO
assert their rights, would resemble
targets after rifle team tourna-
ment Still Indiana is as silent as
grave yard and the leaders of the democracy
have not so much as said, "Let us pray"
The radical party has reduced fraud and
perjury to a science. They know to frac-
ton just how much of each is required to
carry a state, and while democrats will
whisper curses to-day, the radicals will wake
the dead states, call in the conspirators and
toast returning boards and bayonets. Mill
tary bands will play national airs,
and words of cheer wiz be sent to Grant
and Zach Chandler. If northern freemen
are not dead they will speak now. If Indi-
ana has a voice let it be heard. If her great
heart is not in her boots, let it pulsate as of
old. We know that Indiana is
pleading to record her protest and is
denied the privilege because no one invites
her sturdy sons TO tell in thunder tones how
deeply they loathe fraud and Grants infer
nal acts of tyranny. What is the matter?
Why this prolonged apathy and inertneSs?
1t is always prudent and safe TO
call the people together. In this
hour of liberty's deep humiliation
the people should meet in council. There
may be something worth preserving and
there may be chance even yet to rescue
liberty from the grasp of those who seem
determined TO overthrow it, We have de-
layed action too long. If it is TO be had, let
the notes of preparation be sounded through
