Philosophers at a Picnic.

'Xenophon," said his master one dav
when he had dismissed the academy and
taken the students out to picnic
"Xenophon, i do not like to see the
young men of Athens so much given
to hugging the maidens of Greece on
these occasions. Their actions are
dangerous to public liberty and free in
situations, and they are check upon
the free expression of popular senti-
ment."
"And whyfore is it?" asked the future
man of the "Anabasis."
Because" replied Socrates, "it's
muslin they press"
"True," said the astonished Keno
phon, "but then it is done in the inter-
est of lawn order"
Socrates wanted awfully to say, "of
corset it." but he happened to think
that same remark was made six or seven
times year by every paragrapher who
could strike lead to it, so he simply
said:
But it's unrepublican, it isn't demo-
cratic; it makes our young men run
after the prints.
"True," said Alcibiades, who had just
joined the group, "but you know, None
but the barege deserve the fair"
Eyes" replied Xenophon, 'and they
are unfagging in their devotions to the
bunting"
"Pekays,' cynically remarked his
teacher, sits the most expensive"
"Ye-es," said the pupil, "and then it
requires protection"
1T is, them" Alcibiades said with an
inquiring accents monop"ly?"
"Womantic idear,' said Apollodorus,
who had just come up, but nobody let
on they heard him; and when he feebly
added that anyhow the custom was
waste of muscle and time," he was
ordered off the track.-Bttrdette.

A Rats Rapid Transit.

A keen-eyed and gray-bearded rat In
Rockville woolen-mill had for a long
time evaded every device tc intrap him,
but an expert took the case in hand
and succeeded at last in beguiling him
into the trap. When the spring an
nounced that the "old General was
caught the boys crowded around and
peered curiously in at the bright eyes
and nervous movements of the old fell
low who was "streaking it T" inside. 1t
was decided to put him in the extract
orr and if he survived that treatment
to let him go. The extractor in a
woolen.mill is machine used to ex-
tract the moisture out of the cloth, the
process being effected by putting the
cloth into q basket that revolves swiftly
inside massive framework of iron. So
the trap was fixed into the basket and
the belt run on. Round and round
went the basket, lurching heavily from
side to side, but gradually growing
steadier as the revolutions became
swifter. Steadily the speed went up
100, 200, 800 and 400 times a minute.
The eye could just see dark spot in
the basket, then there was sudden jar,
and cry was heard that the trap would
fly out. On sudden impulse the belt
was flung off, the brake put on and the
machine stopped. Was "gray-beard
dead? Not bit. He was streaking it
fore-and-aft the trap, his eyes bright as
ever. Once more he took his place in
the basket. It was to be ride to the
death this time-a fast train that would
whirl him around at the rate of mile
and quarter every sixty seconds. The
"old General seemed to have ali inn
preston that affairs were nearing eli
max, for despairing squeal was heard
as the basket again started up. One
minute, two minutes, three minutes,
and the basket was whirling around fully
700 times to the minute! A steady
hum, instead of the surgings, indicated
The high speed. Then the belt was
thrown off and the brake applied.
When the machine stopped the "old
General" was no more. - Hartford

Keeping on the Farm.

The census table suggests serious
thoughts to every true patriot. In the
older States the cities are growing rap
id p, while the country population is
diminishing. The young men leave
the farms and crowd the stores of the
city. Many farms are deserted, and
houses are going TO decay, while in the
cities thousands ofyoung men are vainly
seeking for employment. nell ol
One reason for the dcsertion of the
country is that young men grow weary
of a monotonous life. Farm-houses
have few papers and few books; no
public libraries are within reach, and
there are no lectures or concerts. 1t is
all work and no play, and the young
men long for more variety in life. ~
A farmer of superior intelligence and
refinement, who has kept all his boys
at home, tells how he has done it.
My elderst is near 81, and the
other boys in the neighborhood
younger than he nave left their parents.
Mine have stuck to me when l most
needed their services, and l attribute
this result to the fact that 1 have tried
to make their home pleasant.
al have furnished them with attract
i've and useful reading, and when night
comes, and the days work is ended,
instead of running with other boys to
the railroad station and adjoining towns,
they gathered around the great lamp,
and became interested in their books
and papers,"
If farm houses are made attractive to
young people they will cling to them,
and think little of emigration. Pleasant
homes, with little amusement to re-
lieve hard toll, will hold the sons to their
fathers occupatiOn

BOttling Air.

During the Centennial summer sam
ples of air were collected on various
occasions upon the exhibition grounds
at p Philadelphia, and in different build
ings; also in this city, in Brooklyn,
Hoboken, and on many of the Adiron-
dack mountains, with a view of trans
hitting them to the chemists of 1876, to
determine whether the e.lrth's atmos-
phere is undergoing change. That
the atmosphere has undergone enor-
nous changes since the earlier geo.
graphical ages, is beyond doubt. The
present question is whether such changes
are still slowly going on, and what
their nature may be. The ordinary
statement that the air has an invariable
composition is not strictly true, since

81 Affair." OF HOuOr.o

A Southern exchange says a duel
took place at point fourteen miles
east of Columbus, Miss, in the State
of Alabama, between Capt. Humphreys
and Maj. Moore. Five hundred people
witnessed the affair. The combatants
fired upon each other at a distance of
ten PAGES, with Smith & Wesson re-
volvers, without effect. Maj. Moore
fred Immediately upon turning. Capt.
Humphreys took cool, calm, deliber-
ate aim. After the first fire, friends
pressed the seconds to take advantage
of the regulations of the code, which
was done. The affair ended, both their
honors having been satisfied. The
duel grew out of difference in poll
tics.

SENTIMENT AND SENSE.

L
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 neces-
sary to acquire prudence.
CHOOSE those companions who adj
minister to your Improvement.
TRUTH is hid by great depths, and the
way to it does not appear to all the
world.
CONVERSATIONAL powers are suscept-
lille of great improvement by assiduous
cultivation.
The friendships of youth are founded
on sentiment; the dissensions of age re-
suit from opinion. 4oI
FLOWERS sweeten the air, rejoice the
eye, link us with nature and innocence
and are something to love.
The business of life is to 60 forward !;
he who sees evil in prospect meets it on
the way; but he who catches it by re-
trospection turns back to find it. ~
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.
IT is very pleasant to see some men
turn round, pleasant as a sudden rush
of warm air in winter, or the flash of
freight in the chill dusk; they shed
radiance 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 hands. Their
roots may touch, they may keep to-
gether some way up, but at length they
part company, and rise into indi-
vidual, isolated peaks. So it is with
great men.
The beginning of hardship is like the
first taste of bitter food-it seems for
moment unbearable; 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 in
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 deadEest foe and treads his
master underneath his feet.
In young, childish, ignorant natures
there is constantine blind trust in some
uAshapen 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. ttt

Rats and HydrOphObia.

TGalesburg Gnd.) Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.l
About week ago the wife of Horace
Jones. wealthy farmer, living twelve
miles south of here, went out to place a
pan of feed in the chicken-coop. AS
she placed the pan in the coop an inn
mense rat seized one of her fingers,
biting through it, and holding on with
a death grip. Before she could release
her hand she had to choke the rat to
death. The wound healed in few
days, apparently, but yesterday Mrs.
Jones was seized with symptoms of
hydrophobia, going into commissions
and suffering intense agony. There
are but little hopes entertained of her
recovery.
From the Boston Herald.l
Miss Katy O'Boyle, of Summitville,
N. Y, arrived at her home suffering
painfully from lock-iaw, which was the
result of q rat-bite, that threatened to
prove fatal. She was employed in the
family of Theodore Coleman, in the
town of Waikiki. About ten days ago
she caught rat in the pantry, when it
bit her through the finger. The wound
healed and caused no trouble, but final
ly her hand and arm began swelling,
and lock-jaw set in. She was able to
ride home on the cars Wednesday, but
she suffered great pain from nervous
spasms that came over her, contracting
the muscles and causing her to cry out
in her agony. After her arrival home
she grew worse, and the Catholic priest
at Ellenville was telegraphed for to
come and administer the last rites of
the church.

the Senate by declaration from MIR.

Same way of thinking. 1t is believed
that this determination arises from
the generally conceded fact that it
will not be possible TO get Butler out
between now and the fourth Of March,
and if the leading Republicans coun-
tenance the attempt they will set a
precedent by which the Democrats
may unscat kellogg after the fourth

Something Nice to Read.

We are under obligations to the
Hon. &. q. Williams for half dozen
volumes of the Congressional Re-
cords. We have already several hun
drcd of these interesting volumes in
our little library, but they have been
read and reread so many times that
we know every page of them by
heart. These new volumes came op-
portunely on New Years morning,
and that night we gathered our little
family around the bright fireside, and
read one Of them through to them.
The affecting tale, entitled GA bill to
change the name of the Braidwood
National Bank" seemed to touch
every heart, and when We came to the
climax Of that little story about the
bill to define certain legal terms"
there was not dry eye between the
front door and Addin Hayes stables.
We can never sufficiently thank Mr.
Williams for the innocent amusG-
ment thus furnished us. The memo
ry of that happy evening will lingcr
long after the present Congress shall
have been adjourned.

"Bury the Past"

There is q proposition before Con.
gress, reported by the Senate judicia-
ry committee, TO take the place of the
Constitutional amendment passed ut
last session, which provides that no
claims or pension shall hereafter be
allowed by Congress or any depart
ment or court OF the United States, OIL
money paid'for damages sustained du
ring the late war, or compensation fol
any property destroyed, used or in
jurcd by troops or others acting for
the United States, unless The owner
thereof was loyal IN fuct to the g ,vcrn
mcnt Of the United States and gave
neither aid or encouragement TO the
South.
If this becomes law il closes the
door upon the South forever, and
millions of property, destroyed as n
war measure or used by the United
States troops or otherwise injured by
officers under government sanction,
will be lost 10 the South. Whatever
may have been the on!mus born of
the war there has been sufficient time
for it to disappear-thcrc has been
sufficient atoncmcnt made TO cntitlc
cur citizens to all the rights and priv
ilcgcs Of the government yet it
seems that our enemies then are our
enemies now, and every effort is still

and her people. .suhjugatcd.

cry, ond even Grant in his wisdom
saw fit to add his mite to the echo, yet
the peace is TO be ut the sacrifice Of
principle and the burial Of manhood.
If there be a breach between the
South and North such acts as this
will never span it. If oneness of
interest, of aim, Of sentiment, and OF
destiny is to be characteristic Of the
different sections,o of this great country
bitter memories and treasured hatred
will never unity her people.
