from his big brothers, who were talk

"This is good; it is not every one

purpose, NeddieF"
"To grow up a good boy, SO as to
be good man, like my father" said
Neddie.
And, by the way he said it, it was
plain he meant it. His father was
a noble Christian man, and Neddie

ARougll Retort.

In the city of Halifax, there dwelt
a lawyer, crafty, subtle and cute as
a fox. An Indian Of the Miami tribe
named Simon owed him some money,
The poor red man brought the money
to his creditor and waited, expecting
the lawyer to write him receipt.
"What are you waiting for2n said
the lawyer.
Receipt said the Indian.
ga receiptln said the lawyer @ro,
ceiptl What do you know about re.

Convenience ON a Farm.

The successful farmer is be who
provides conyenienccs for the care OF
his property and the performance Of
his work; he counts time as an inn
portaut item in the yearly ealcula-
ton, and care of all his various Of
fects as a factor in the annual re-
turns. When he puts the horse in
the stable there is a place for the
harness where it will be safe from
the weather or any other damage;
his wagon and tools are provided
with coverings to preserve them;
about his promises will be found a
little shop or room where he keeps
saws, hammers, vices, augers and var
ious tools that are needed to mend
and put in order the different ma
chimes he uses. These simple arti-
cles prevent days and weeks of de-
lay, besides adding to the length of
time implements will last, 1t pays
to have conveniences, and also to get
what you do buy of good quality

From Waggener.

lF. Editor For the past few days
there has been great deal of talk
among politicians of all parties about
Court House Cliques and Rings, and
seL-up Conventions; and the great
problem was solved last Tuesday
week, by one of the largest meetings
of real substantial men of the county,
in which all classes were represented
from the bond-holder to the laboring
man, including farmers, inechanies,
doctors, lawyers, merchants, mann,
fucturers and also the editor of the
"AIonitor;" and the result of their
deliberations is already known
A very liberal and worthy Republi-
can told me the nominations certain
ly would be as acceptable to the
masses us any ticket ever brought
before the people of Mason county.
We have now the nominees Of the
Republican party, the Workingmen's
party, and the Democratic party. !
understand there will also be several
Independent candidates on the track
making in all from twelve to lif
teen candidates, to fill four Offices
Very liberal gentlemen sacrificing
their own interests for the public
good, Well, Mr.. Editor, l hope this
canvass will be conducted on honor
able principles, and that l shall new
er read an article in the "Registor'
containing so little courtesey in it,
us contained in the last Monitor
in its comments on the Democratic
Convention. l have always conten-
ded there ought to be and should be
as much honor and fair-dealing in
politics and in conducting canvass
as there is in keeping a bank ac-
count. COLUMBIA.

Crlticisn,.

Mr. Editor The one who presumes
to criticise the administration of the
government to whose jurisdiction he
is amenable, and whose laws afford
him protection in the enjoyment of
his life, liberty and property, should
be well assured that his criticisms
are well founded before he offers
them. And that which he considers
obnoxious to censure, should be of
general concern.
AT our last municipal election in
Point Pleasant, there were selected
the requisite number of efficient and
trustworthy officers, who seem to be
trying to faithfully discharge the
various duties of their several Off
cial stations. But then there is one
thing which has certainly never oc,
CURED to them, as being of impor-
tance to our citizens and town tax
payers, and that is, the passing of an
ordinance requiring ali steamboats,,
which land at our wharf, to pay to
our corporation a reasonable duty for
each and every landing so made
Taking into consideration the num-
Der of landings made by steamboats,,
daily, at our wharf, the revenue thus
derived to our town would amount
annually to the sum of not less than
5000, or 500, an amount amply sulii-
cient to put and keep in repair our
wharf, and streets too, perhaps. l
know not why the various Councils
that have so faithfully served the
people of Point Pleasant, have neg
lected this subject as they have done;
neither do l know why it is yet neg
lected as it is. A duty of this kind
would save the taxpayers of Point
Pleasant a good round sum every
year. Let us hear from some else on
the subject. #&*.

Words of wisdom.

The excesses of our youth are
drafts upon our old age, payable with
interest, about thirty years after date.
In every house, however humble,
flowers should be cultivated, for their
sunny light, their cheerful teaching
and for their insensibly ennobling
influence.
Adhere rigidly and undeviatingly
to truth; but while you express what
is true, express it in a pleasing man
ner. Truth is the picture, the man
ner is the frame that displays it to
advantage.
Though years bring with them
wisdom, yet there is one lesson the
aged seldom learn-namely, the man.
agement of youthful feelings. Age
is all head, youth all heart; age reas-
ons youth under the dominion Of
hope.
The voices of the present say
"ComeI" But the voices of the past
say "Waitl" With calm and solemn
footsteps the rising tide bears against
the rushing torrent up stream, and
pushes back the hurrying waters
With no less calm and solemn foot
steps, no less certainty, does a great
mind bear upon public opinion, and
push buck its hurrying stream
Therefore should every man wait
should bide his time; not in idleness
not in useless pastimc, not in queru'
lous detection; but in constant, steady
cheerful endeavors, always willing
and fulfilling and accomplishing his
task, that, when the occasion comes
he may be equal to the occasion.--

A Rather Lame Explanation.


Whom the parent went into the

came suddenly upon his daugh-
ter and her young man with their
faces SO tightly glued to each other
that they didn't notice his entry.
"Ahemw he observed.
The twain started aud came to the
light with faces that bore every ap.
pcarance of having been just drawn
out of a furnace.
"Anything the mottor2" grimly ask

said she in whisper.

he inquired, suspiciously.
This was such a poser that she
sank back exhausted, leaving her

ties he gulped out:

Two Wasted Lives.

Truth stranger than fiction could
be told Of the late Mrs. G., one of the
most eccentric characters Of the
Southwest. From the administra-
ton of Washington to that of Van
Buren she was an habitue of the cap
ltal. Jefferson, Randolph and Madi-
son were her contemporaries. Her
youth was spent on the shores of the
Ohio when Pittsburgh was trad
ing-rort. She held during herlifc all
of her husbands great wealth. The
heir-his nephow-who was to re-
ceive the property at her death, when
he came of age refused to learn any
profession or trade, as Mrs. c., was
then fifty and in infrm health. She
would not give him penny,although
she was childless, living alone on her
plantations, surrounded only by
slaves.
"You better go to work, George"
she would say to him. "I'll walk
over your grave yet"
lie waited twenty, thirty, forty
years. He was a pauper, but the
dead woman's shoes were not yet
ready for him.
She had made preparations appar-
emily to live forever. Every year
she bought the costliest dresses and
laces, made in prevailing fashion,
and stored them away in her great
solitary chambers. The heir, a feeble
old man, died at last in the aims
house, She lived on.
In her hundred and first year she
was prevailed upon to make her will
After disposing of various properties,
the lawyer reminded her of the Bogg
farms, which she had inherited from
her father. "They are mine," she
said, quietly, and continued dovising
her husbands estates.
"That is all, she said at length,
holding out her hand for the pen.
"But you have not left the Bogg
farms to anybody"
"sir they are mine foreverl" cried
the dying women.
She fingered for another year, in
which her former slaves plundered
her of all her boarded treasures, and
died at last poorer in friends, in spir-
it, in the real riches Of life, than even
her dead paupor heir.

and covetouSness could preach such a
