No man ever was, no man ever will be,
the superior OF the man he robs. No man
ever was. no man ever will be, the superior
OF the man that he steals from. had rather
be slave than slave-master. l had rather
be stolen from than be thief. / had ra-
Their be wrongcd than a wrong-doer. And
allow me to say again, to impress it forever
upon every man that hears, you are always
the inferior of the man you rob. Any race
is inferior to the race that it tramples upon
and robs. There never was man that
could trample upon human rights and be
superior to the man upon whom he tram
pled.-IngersoN.
A swindler in Chicago during the recent
great Fair dressed IN homespup clothes,
made the acquaintance of farmers at hotels,
and fooled them in q new way. After IN
yiting victim to take a walk he remarked
that sharpers were plenty, and they had
better leave their pocket-books with the
clerk. He displayed well-tilied wallet,
the victim handed over his, and both were
tied together and left with the clerk, the
swindler taking the check, with which he
soon returned and got all the money.
Prentice Milford suggests "that in, say
forty years more, when through the present
increase of books, libraries, and, OF course,
catalogues, will increase and multiply, and
books will breed beyond the bounds OF hui
man scope, calculation and cataloguins that
dogs whose intelligence and saSaclty Will
probably increase in proportion with that
OF the humanity they live amongst, be
trained to hunt up and run down the title
of any required book in these future i'm
nense catalogues"
While lady to whom Partisan mendi-
cant lately applied for aims was fumbling
for her moneyathe supplicant whined the
the familiar story OF restitution, six chill
dren and dead wife. But at this point the
child he led by the hand gave dreadful
howl, and proceeded to disayow all brothers
and sisters, to deny the death OF its mother,
and to demand being instantly taken to that
parent. 1t may be feared that the untu-
tored enfant terrible had a very " bad quar-
ter of an hour" when they got home.
A prayer-meeting is held in connection
with the Vermont Legislature every morn
ing, and the members attend in large num-
bers, and show great devoutness. The
Montpelier Journal says: "Among those
attending and deeply interested in the meet
ing are some who have never attended
prayer-meeting at their homes. The sing
ing is inspiring, the spirit OF the meeting is
excellent, the prayers are fervent, and the
addresses are convincing, and sometimes
truly touching"
