TRYING TO LIVE WITHOUT
WORK.

The following, from the pen of
Horace Greeley, is true and applica-
BILE to this day: ''Our people are too
widely inclined to shun the quiet WAYS
OF productive labor, and try to live
and thrive in the crooked paths of
speculation and needless traffic. We
have deplorably few boys learning
trades, with ten times too many anx
ious to get into business ; that is. to
devise some scheme wkereby they
may live without work. OF the iour-
neymen mechanics now at work in
this city, we judge that two-thietfs
were born in Europe; and the dispar-
ity is steadily augmenting. One mil
lion families are trying to live by SELL
ing liquors, tobacco, candy, etc., in
our cities, who could be spared there
from without the slightest public de-
trimert; and if these were transferred
to the soil, and set to growing again,
meats, wool, ETC., or employed in
smelling the metals or weaving the
fabrics for which We are stlll running
into debt in Europe, our country
would increase its wealth at least
twice as fast as now, and there would
be far less complaint of dull trade
and hard times"

A BLUE RACER OVER TWENTY
FEETLONG.

A gigantic blue racer, twenty feet
eight and three-fourth inches in length
and ten inches in circumference in
the largest place, was killed in the
southwestern part of the township of
Cannon by a citizen of good repute.
He had terrible encounter with it.
On going from. his work to neigh
boring spring to get drink of water
he saw the grass wave few rods
from him, when 10! the blue devil
came toward him with lightning We
locity and head uplifted about three
or four feet high from the ground.
When within about ten feet from the
man he halted, as if to look his prev
over. He ventured nearer and nearer.
and finally attacked the man. The
snake twined itself several times
around the mans legs, and felled him
TO the ground. The man took his
knife cut of his pocket, and with a
few desperate strokes completely
severed the monsters head from it's
body, 1t had previously been hurt,
or it probably would have crushed
the man, there being a large bunch
on its side. Since then the man 8

CHEAP GIRLS.

A girl who makes herself too cheap
is one to be avoided. No young man,
not even the worst, excepting for a
base purpose, wants anything to do
with a cheap young lady. For wife
none but fool or rascal will approach
such woman. Cheap jewelry no.
body viii touch, if he can get any
better. Cheap girls are nothing but
a refuse, and the young men know it,
and they look in every other direction
for a lifelong friend and companion
before they will give glance at the
pinckback stuff, stuff that twinkles at
every turn for fascinating the eye
of any that will look. You think it
quite the ''correct thing to talk very
loud and coarse, be boisterous and
hoydenish in all public places; to
make yourself so bold, and forward,
and commonplace, everywhere that
people wonder If you ever hau either
a father or mother, or a home, or any
thing to do. So be it. You will
probably be taken for what you are
worth, and one of these years if you do
not make worse than shipwreck of
yourself, you will begin to wonder
where the charms are that once you
thought yourself possessed of, and
what evil spirit could have so befooled
you. Go on, but remember, cheap
girls attract nobody but fools and ras
calls.

THE SHIP OF STATE.

The night was dark and the wind was
high.
When noble ship came driving by
Blight on the rocks and breakers;
No gallant captain, no gallant crew
Who knew the right, and dared to do
They were all like shaking Quakers.
For hundred years she stood like
rock,
'Gainst the tempests' blast and the
bill0Ws' shock
And the enemy's rattling thunder;
And now in sight of peaceful shore,
When her sails shonld be furled and
her dangers e'er, FL
Twas pity to see her 60 under.
On she foamed ih her headloRg course
Tearing along like IL runaway horse
AS if to the jaws of destruction
Rearing aloft on the roaring tides
While the storm ragged round her
groaning sides
With terrible eruction.
In a moment of folly q boat was
lowered,
And fifteen pilots were then taken
on board
Whose upper works were said to
be stored
WITH o .n<x nf xhaoaa
They determined to alter the vessels
ways,
And to run her into bank of haze
That hung in the west in a misty
maze,
For fear she'd 10 to pieces.
So they lufted her up and altered
her ways,
And ran her into the bank Of haze.
And fiemished her down and tauten-
ed her stays
In manner quite respected
An Irishman shouts " she seems at
axe :"
And the family doctor. Edmund, says
She's as well as could be expected.
But still the haze envelopes her bow,
And it haAgs above, and it hangs be.
low,
In thick and threatening manner
And, alas! alas! for her grand cid flag
1t droops in the haze like q tatterec
rag,
Instead of nations banner.
But there she 10, and there she will b,
For the next three years i'm this haz,
And general hazification
And instead of noble ship of stat.
Bearing the hopes of nation great,
She looks like = bum boat peddlins
! meat
On some western African station
No ship of state ram in fog
With fraudulent captain and fraud
ulent log,
And came TO her destination;
BY the needle of right should hel
| course be run,
By the Book of Truth her reckoning
done,
And her compass act by the steadfasl

SWIMMING NIAGARA RIVER.

The feat of swimming across the
Niagara River below the falls has in
1t SO many elements of danger that
peculiar credit has always been ac-
corded its accomplishment. Within
a comparatively short time, however,
numerous persons nave successfully
crossed tho turbulent stream, and
even some small boys demonstrated
their ability to accomplish the peril
Gus trip. On Monday of last week,
two boys-Willie Film, and an adopt
ed son of Mr.. Sully--swam from a
point below the gas works at Niagara
Falls village across the river and back
with apparent ease. AT one time the
boys were envelopad in thick foam
Oh the surface, aud were completely
lost sight of for a few moments. The
successful accomplishment of the feat
was loudly applauded by their numer-
Gus comrades who witnessed the af-
fair from the American shore.-ETo-

SURRENDER, TAKE THE OATH OF ALLIE
GLANCE AND KEEP TT.
White Sulphur Cor. N. Y. Times.
When the rebellion had exhausted
itself, and General Lee had surrend-
cred TO General Grant, an engineer
of the Confederacy, friend of the
writer, who had fought it out to the
bitter end, and only gave up when
jefferson Davis and his party were
finally brought to a surrender in the
State of Geargia, presented to Lee for
advice. 81 have" said the defeated
general and engineer, g profession
and offers to go to Russia; ] cannot
well bear the misfortune of defeat !;
but what would you advise me to do!
The answer vas worthy alike of true
American and one of the foremost of
the sons of Virginia: A"
.'Do as / have done. Surrender to
the Union torces, Take the oath of
allegiance, keep the oath, and en-
deayor in good faith to build up what
four years civil war has pulled down.
l have pleged my word to do this,
and intend to keep it!''
And Lee, from the hour of his pain
full surrender, which was not until
over quarter of q million of Union
troops closed upon thirty or forty
thousand Of broken-spirited Confed-
crates, never hesitated to either
counsel or to work for the restoration
of the Union. Everywhere therefore,
the name of Lee at the South is q
talismanic word. In almost every
house there is portrait of the South
ern leader, and his name and exam
pie, which in 1861 was an inspiration
for resistance, became inSlS65 both
the revelation and reason for submis-
mission. In 1865 the South was not
only exhausted in all its material
wealth-the land excepted-but il
needed the example of men like Gen
eral Lee to reereate the Southern
country. Slavery was gone, and al
organized labor for time went witt
it. The railroad power was exhaust.
ed, and the horses and cattle and ma
chinery were almost totally destroyed

FUN ON THE FARM.

The following is from Moor's Ru-
ral New Yorker:
''We often hear the remark, what
dull life farming must bel or who
would live in the country, where
there are no opportunities for fun!'
Well, then, if you want to know what
genuine fun is, just pitch in and help
break pair of three year old steers.
First you catch a steer and tie him
up by the head to a post in the yard.
Then you catch the other one and
put rope round his horns. Then
your dad gets the yoke and between
you two and the hired man you get it
fastened on their necks! Then the
old man tells you to unite the rope
gently, while he and the hired man
hold the critters, Just as you slip
the knot, away 30 the steers with a
bawl and bellow-or rather pair
of bellows--and there arises before
your vision confused mixture of
horns, heels, tails, ropes, dad, hired
man, and curses ON your stupidity
that reminds you of the picture of
volcanic eruption in the old geog-
raphies. And that's oMly the begin
ming of the fun, Ry-and-by dad gets
hold of one rope and the hised man
gets hold of the other, and run races
down the lane--the steers meek and
neck, and the old man performing
the course of the serpent. Then there
is time in haying, whom dad un-
dertakes to show you how to NOV
over a bumhle-bees' nest. He amt
afraid o. these bees nest, nor needn't
be-iest go right along-they never
sting unless you fight 'em;' and then
'wish!' get out of the way! and then
dads swath comes to sudden stop
and he departs for the house and
hartshorn on dead run, at the bus
iness end of a dozen yellow legged
Rumble bees, Oh, no! there isn't nc
fun on farm"
