SENTIMENT AND SENSE.

The key to every man is his thought
Appointments once made become
debts.
Feeling is no criterion of right Oh
wrong.
Adversely is the balance to weigh
friends.
Ignorance is a subject for pity; not
laughter.
A knowledge of mankind is necessary
to acquire prudence.
Choose those companions who admin
lister to your improvement.
Truth is hid by great depths. and the
way to it does not appear to all the
world.
Conversational powers are suscepti-
BILE of great Improvement by assiduous
cultivation.
The friendships of youth are founded
on sentiment; the dissensionS OF age re-
suit from opinion.
Flowers sweeten the air, rejoice the
eye, link us with nature and innocence
and are something to love.
The business of life is to go forward ;
he who sees evil i'll prospect meets 1t on
the way; but he who catches it by re-
trospection turns back to find 1t.
Affections, like spring flowers, break
through the frozen ground at last, and
the heart, which seeks but for another
heart to make it happy. will never seek
in vain.
1t is very pleasant to see some men
turn round, pleasant as sudden rush
o. warm air in winter, or the flash OF
freight in the chill dusk; they shed IA
dance on all around them.
All useless misery is certainly folly,
and he that feels evils before they come
may be deservedly censured, yet surely
to dread the future is more reasonable
than to lament the past.
Mountains never shake lands. Their
roots may touch, they may keep together
some way up, but at length they part
company, and rise into individual, iso-
lated peaks. So it is with great men.

first taste of bitter food-it seems for a
moment unbearaple; yet, if there is
nothing else to satisfy our hunger, we
take another bite and find it possible to
go on.
A great mind is like an elephant III
the ancient line of battle-the best ally
if you can keep him in the ranks. front
ing the right way; but if he turns about
he is the deadliest foe and treads his
master underneath his feet.
In young, childish, ignorant natures
there is constantly blind trust in some
unsharen chance; it is as hard to boy
or girl to believe that great wretched-
ness will actually befall them as to be-
lieve that they will die.
Strong, skillful men are often the
gentlest to the women and children; it
is pretty sight to see them carrying
little babies, as if they were no heavier
than little birds; and the babies always
seem to like the strong men best.

know funny little man,
As quiet as mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody's house.
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
BY Mr.. NOBODY.
'Tis he who always Tears our books
Who leaves the door ajar;
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar.
That squeaking door will always squeak
For, prithce, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By MIR. NOBODY.
He puts damp wood upon the fire,
That kettles cannot boil;
His are feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpets soil,
The papers always are mislaid;
Who had them last but he?
There's no one tosses them about
But Mr. NORoDY.
The finger marks upon the doors
By none of us are made;
We never le4ve the blinds Enclosed,
To let the curtains fade.
The ink We never spill; the boots
That lying round yon see
Are not our boots. They belong
To Mr.. NOBODY.

wit: That sections and of article 4, enti-

SECTION g. The State shall be divided into
nine common pleas districts, of which the
county of Hamilton shall constitute one.
which districts shall be of compact territory,
bounded by county l!nes and said districts,
other than said county o. Hamilton, shall,
without division of counties, be further divi-
ded into sub divisions, in each of which, in
said county of Hamilton, there shall be elect
ed by the electors thereof, respectively, at
least one judge of the court of common pleas
for the district, and residing therein. Courts
of common pleas shall be held by one or more
of these judges in every county of the dis
trict, as often as may be provided by law, and
more than one court or sitting thereof NAV
be held at the same time in each district
SEQ D. In each district there shall be elected
by the electors at large of such district, one
Judge OF the district court, by whom the dis
trict courts in such district shall be held, and
he shall receive such compensation as may be

IN each county at least once every year. The
General Assembly may increase the number
OF district court judges to three, in any dis
trict or districts, and may provide for having
judge pro teZspOre, to hold any court when

Assembly may authorize the judges of SAID
conrts, respectively, to fix the times of the
holding of said courts.
At said election the voters desiring to vote
in favor of this amendment, shall have placed
upon their ballots the words, "Judicial con-
stitutional amendment, Yes" and the voters
who do not favor the adoption of said amend
ment, may have placed upon their ballots the
words, Judicial constitutional amendment,
No" and if majority of all the votes cast at
said election be in favor of said amendment,
then said sections three and five herein speci-
fled, shall be and constitute the sections SO
numbered in the said judicial article of the
Constitution of the State of Ohio: and said
original sections three and five shall be re-
pealed.

In the opinion OF the Philadelphia Times,
llnd.), the best OF reasons for prohibiting the
reorganization OF the state republican assocla-
lions In washington "is given by the Cabinet
officer, probably Mr.. Schurz, who says the Pres
fdent does not want the clerks to control the
business OF the administration" This, the
Times says, Is exactly what the clerks have
aimed to do and have done under some admin.
1strat1ons, -"the state associations have COM
blned their congressional and state influences
TO perpetuate their own hold upon departmental
patronage, and to dictate appointments from
the outside, when, as rarely happened, they had
no candidate on their own rolls. The depart

ness, and the President is right In prohibiting

PensiOning Cennecticut,s Slaves,

At first thought one would hardly expect that
Inc PENSION Office, at this time, would be al
lowing pension to man who was born In
Connecticut, bought and sold in Connecticut,
and spent twenty-five years of his life there as
q slave under the laws of Connecticut But such
Is the fact. Old James Mars, of Norfolk, Litch-
neid county, Is the man. He lost son In the
service during the rebellion, and several hun
dred dollars OF arrears will doubtless be added
10 his pension. He never lived any where else,
excepting few years he passed In Pittsfeld
Mass. Some years ago he wrote an autobiog-
raphy In pamphlet form, to which DIR. John
Todd prefxed an Introductory note showing
the old mans good character and truthfulness,
The work Is not precisely as Addison would have
done 1t, but Is, after all, better adaptation OF
style to subject than Samuel johnson would
nave given Us. 1t Is remarkably free from
large words, and Is refreshing example of
1d1omatic English simplicity. His mother was
from Loudoun county, Virginia, and went from
there to Connecticut with her mistress. The
mistress married Connecticut parson, who
returned to Virginia with her In time The
maid servant followed the example, and like

S1oner was born while they were all In Con-
nect1cut, but eluded the parS0n when he i'm.
migrated with his southern wife and the rest
OF her chattelS to her old home In Loudoun
county. After much trouble In trying to cap
lure him the parson cut the matter short BY
selling the boy to Connecticut man, and so
he has remained In the state to this day. The
act OF the last century by which the legislature
OF Connecticut abolished slavery there, imposed
some conditions as to children under a certain
age. so that several years elapsed after the act
before Mars became free; making, In all twenty.

s. Mysterious DispensatiOns Of Df.
vine PrOVidence.''

The old way OF setting down the sudden
deaths OF children to the account OF "a mySter1-
Gus dispensatiOn OF Divine Providence" is not
altogether lust to Providence, and 10 the light
OF modern sanitary science the responsibility
frequently comes a good deal nearer home.
Every now and then it is discovered that the
prevalence Of diphtheria or typhoid fever In a
neighbOrhoOd can be traced directly TO defective
sewerage or drainage. The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican notes the death Of two victims to
the deadly poison of sewer gas In that city
within week. A beautiful child OF one of the
best families died OF dlphtheria, and 1t turns
out that the disease can be accounted for In no
way save that 1t had In Its play made mud pies
In heap or sand which had been raised out Of
q sewer and carelessly left lying by. Still later
an attractive young wife and mother died OF
the same disease, contracted through inhaling
the gases from the cellar and surrounding soil,
which had become saturated with waste from q
stopped-up drain, and drinking the water OF a
We'll contaminated from the same source.
1t seems to be pretty well settled now that
defective sewerage In some of our school build
ings In Washington has been fruitful source
of sickness amongst the children. few years
ago, the sudden death Of the two children OF the
janitor OF the Wallach school building was
traced to the foul air of the basement of the
building, which was occupied by the janitor's
family. 1t was not an 1nscrutable decree OF
Providence that operated there but shameful
human negligence to keep the building In a
proper sanitary condition. The report of Health
Officer Townshend upon our school buildings
shows that very many Of them are In deplor-
able condition as regards defects In drainage
and sewerage. In the construction OF new
school buildings the District commissioners
will doubtless be careful to avoid repetition OF
these defects

s. sprague's energetic denial of any cr1mi-

trl' out If it Is not believed it will be due mainly
to u fact that the conduct OF the two towards

gocd husband to another mans good wife
Apl earances have been altogether against
their innocence. 1t may have been only case
OF two lofty souls determining TO brave out

most compromising way In the face OF public
