The ScHooLBoY. - The Burlington
Hawkeye writes of the deceptive little
boy: Passing by one of the city
schools yesterday, we listened to the
scholars singing, Oh, how love my
teacher dear There was one boy, with
a voice like tornado, who was SO en-
thusiastic that he emphasized every
word, and roared, oh, how I love my
teacher DEAR with vim that left no
possible doubt of his affection. Ten
minutes after that boy had been stood
on the floor for putting shoemaker's
wax on his teachers chair, got three de-
merit marks for drawing picture of
her with red chalk on the back of an
atlas, been well shaken for putting a
bent pin in another boys chair, scolded
for whistling out loud, sentenced to stay
after school for drawing ink moustaches
on his face and backing another boys
nose, and soundly whipped for slapping
three hundred and thirty-nine spit-balls
up against the ceiling, and throwing
one big one into girls ear. You can't
believe half boy says when he sings"

WHAT AN ENTERrRIsING Boy DID,
At this season of the year the boys out
of school are taxing their wits to the
utmost tension to find something to do
to procure pocket money, if not to as
sist their parents. One of the happiest
and most original devices for this end
that it has been my chance to hear of, is
that of lad who invaded Brooklyn,
and, noticing the unusual number of
kerosene lamps in use in that city las a
result of practical war on the gas COM
panies) he solicited the job of taking
care of the same for several storekeep-
ers. His price was modest-ten cents
per week for each lamp-for which sum
he agreed to trim and keep clean the
lamp, brush ont the chimney, etc. His
success surprised him. He soon got
fifty lamps to look after, and then his
work increased so that he engaged an
assistant, paying him stated salary,
while he as ''boss" took the orders.
This young man has the care of several
hundred lamps on Fulton street alone,
and employs two other lads to help
him. His weekly income and profit
amounts to $50, which is far better than
running errands or attending stores, Of
many lads do in this city for pittance
of 50 or $3 per week.-New York Lette,

A VERY sympathetic gentleman went

The CURIOSITY OF FIsH.-The curl
osity exhibited by fish is worthy of re-
mark. Like nearly all the animal crea-
ton, fishes are inquisitive. Workmen
in diving-bells and submarine armor,
tell some interesting anecdotes illustra-
tive of this propensity. A diver who
was engaged in tunneling for the water
works of an Eastern city, whose labors
at the bottom of the river occupied him
for several days, became suddenly
aware, one day, of the presence of a
larger fish than he had seen before-a
sturgeon-which lie thought at least
would weigh eighty or ninety pounds.
1t visited him for several days in sue
cession, and eventually became so fear
less as to approach within little more
than an arms length of him, although
at first it was quite shy. Along the
southern shore of Lake Erie, and in
some other places at the North where
ice forms of sufficient thickness, fish are
attracted to openings through the ice
lover which a small, perfectly dark
house is placed) by means of small
decoy fish, attached to line, and moved
rapidly through the water beneath the
ice. A fish will sometimes follow one
of these for long time, but seldom
takes it in his mouth unless the repre-
sentation is nearly perfect. They evil
IDENTIFY come to see what is going on.
So we have seen school of fish follow
baited hook every time it was drawn
to the surface, but not one would touch

REFINED homes are the end of civili-
zation. All the work of the worla-the
railroading, navigating, digging, manu-
featuring, inventing, teaching, writing
and fighting are done, first of all to Sc
cure each family in the possession Of
its own hearth; and secondly to sur
round as many hearths as possible with
grace, and culture, and beauty. The
work of all races five thousand years is
represented in the difference between u
wigwam and lady's parlor. 1t has no
better result to show, as is evident from
moments reflection.

The PROBABILITIES OF SICKNESS. -
The business of life insurance is largely
based on purely mathematical calcula-
ton, involving the laws of probabilities,
the object of which is to determine, by
careful comparison of extended statis
teal returns, and like information, the
probable duration of persons life at
every year of his existence. On the
tabulated results is found the scale Of
premium charges, proportionate to the
risk assumed. While every one is, Of
course, interested in knowing how long
he is likely to live, he has more imme-
diate and vital interest in learning how
often he is likely to be sick, and for how
many days per year he will probably by
i'll health be incapacitated for work.
DIR. Reginald Southey has recently
been delivering course of valuable lee
lures on Individual Hygiene" in
London, and in one he introduced q
table of "Expectation of Sickness"
which he had prepared, and which is as
follows:
At 20 years of age, calculate on 1 sick
days yearly.
At 20 to 80, 5 or 6 days.
At As, days.
At so, 8 or 10 days.
At 50, IL or 13 days.
At 60, 16 days.
At Is, 81 days.
At Is, "a days.
OF course this refers to people of
average good health, and not to those
who may be afflicted with any ineradica-
BILE or chronic ailment.

j. G. GEER, under indictment for
$2l 900 not accounted for while Col
lector of Internal Revenue, has, the
Salesman says. in default of $4,000
bail, been sent to the penitentiary
there to stay until March term of
Court, when his trial will be had.
The government expert, sent out three
years ago to overhaul the books Of the
Internal Revenue Office, informed us
that Geer was the most thoroughly
incompetent official that he ever came
in contact with; that he knew moth
ing whatevcrof the business of the
position which he held. However that
may be, Geer is a man of unusual in
telligencc and general information,
and whether hisincompetency was real
or assumed may possibly be dis
covered at his trial. The most singu.
lar thing in connection with the affair
is. that Gccr, knowingly defrauding
the government, didn't run of. He
had every opportunity in the world to
do so long before the "irrcgn'arity'
was found out.

ed BY 9 desire on his part to become

we wish we could give his speech en-
tire: s a
Brave Union men of the north, fol-
lowers Of Webster and Fillmore, Cass
and Douglas, men who fought for the
Union, for the sake Of the Union-you
who ceased to fight when the battle
ended and the sword was sheathed,
with you we have no quarrel; we felt
your heavy arm in the midst Of the
struggle, but above the roar of the
cannon we heard your voice of kind
ness, calling your brothers to come
back. We are here to cooperate
with you, to do whatever we can, in
spite of all our sorrows; to rebuild
the union; to restore peace. to be a
blessing to the country; to make the
true Union what our fathers intended
it should be-the glory Of America
the blessing of humanity; but you,
gentlemen, who prosecuted us by your
in6delities until you drove us out of
the Union, you who then claimed to
be the only friends of the Union which
you before denounced as "a league
with death and covenant with hell, /"
you who follow up the war when the
soldiers who fought it have made
peace and gone to their homes, to you
we have no concessions to make.
Martyrs owe no apology to tyrants,
and while we are ready to make ev-
cry sacrifice for the Union, we have
but one ambition, to add our political
power to the patriotic Union men, in
order to compel fanaticisms to obey
the laws, and live in the Union accor-
ding to the constitution. We do not
propose to compel you by oaths, for
you never kept them. We wronged
the Union grievously when we left it
to be secedcrs, and rent and torn by
men who had denounced it as a
"league with death and covenant
with hell" We ask you of the repub-
lican party to rise above all your ami
mosities, to forget your old sin. Let
us unite to repair the wrongs Of that
distracted and oppressed country.
Let us turn our, backs on the past; let
it be said in the future that he shall
he the greatest, truest, ablest patriot
1 A
who shall do the most 10 repair past
wrongs, and promote the glories of the
