A Wise Man.

I have q sort of valet and factotum,
an excellent, respectable servant, whose
spelling is so unvitiated by non-pho-
netic superhuities that he writes night
as nit. One day, looking over his ac-
counts, said to him. loosely: "You
are in the latest fashion with your
spelling, Pummel; most people spell
might with gh between the and t.

you do" $50 suppose, SIR says

You would never catch Pummel in an
interjection Of surprise. I have some

but he has escaped them oil, either by
a respectable neutrality, as of one who

Be Content: Work!

In recent address, President Spot
ford, Of the Iowa State Agricultural
Society, gave these sage counsels:
Having chosen q vocation, whether
on the farm, or Office, or workshop,
stick to it. No matter what a mans
position is, he will now and then be.
come dissatisfied. The farmer will envy
the preacher, the ply stefan will envy
the blacksmith, the merchant will envy
the teacher and the carpenter will envy
the lawyer. A word to you all, my
friends ! Be- content; not that you
should sit down stolidly and never as
pire to higher position or nobler
pane of life. There is discomfort
that is divine, and you should heed its
warnings; but you should strive to
excel in that position which you have
chosen. Let the farmer become bet
ter farmer, by reading, by observation,
by assoclating with farmers that know
more than he does. Let the physician
become better doctor by having big
library on his shelves, and q bigger one
in his brain. Let the carpenter be q
better mechanic, and showing his jack
plane, at the same time consider the
grand principles on which his art is
founded, and from the carpenter let
him become the designer, the architect,
and let him build his own monument
in structure that will endure long
after all less nobler things have per.
ished.
zone other thought: am certain
that none can succeed who are not will
ing to work. Every man must work.
Some people have stolen Q living, and
found penitentiary or q dishonored
name. The hour, the darkest hour,
the most terrible hour that over came
into the life of young man or woman,
is that particular hour when he or she
thought to have dollar without fairly
and squarely earning it by work Of
hand and brain, and earning it hon.
estly. The devices of men to get money
by wonderful schemes, are as numer-
GUS as the blades of grass avoid every
one of them! Work, solid, intelligent
work, will always win. 1t will bring
gold to your treasury it will add to
your focks, aud fields, and merchandise
and trade. What Work will do moro
than bring gold. 1t will bring happi
ness, peace, joy. blessedness 1t will
give you good digestion, sound sleep,

Sunny Rooms.

T told neighbor lately that the chief
objection I had to o house under con-
sideration as our future residence was
that feared the sun would not shine
into the rooms enough to suit me. She
laughed as though that was new idea
to her and quite whimsical. The
blinds on the house were not objec-
tlonable, as should leave them open,
except upon rare occasions. But the
wide verapdas on the east and south
sides, would totally exclude the friendly
sunbeams from the common sitting
room. Even in summer I should not
like that, as there are many cool days
when sunshine is far better than fire.
My neighbor said that it always made
her feel nervous to have the sun shine
directly into her rooms. Now sunshine
is one Of the best remedies for nervous
ness, but I understand my neighbor to
mean that the prying sunshine search
ing out every speck of dust and tiny
cobweb before concealed by habitual
shade. made her feel uneasy. More.

preserved, and sunshine fades them.

ly held at Greenup, has signalized IL
self in its action concerning a sermon
on the proper observance of the Sab
bath Day." preached in the First
Presbyterian church of this city. on
Sunday, the 9TH Of March, by the pas
tor, Rev. Frank d. Moore. The tele-
grams published in the Commercial
yesterday from Greenup, struck the
public with the effect of an electric
shock. 1t is scarcely necessary to
speak of Mr.. Moore's ability as an
orator; his piety as a Christian; his
devotion to the doctrines of
Christ and st. Paul, and his
endeavor each recurring Sunday to
make men better; truer, hOlier and
happier. All the members of his
steadily increasing congregation at
tending his m%inistrations know this.
The fact is that he is large hearted
and broad and liberal In his views.

and the weaknesses and infrmities of
men. His manner and method OF
thinking and acting are totally at
variance with the body which sat in
Judgment upon him and passed a vote
OF censure. There was not a member
Of the Presbytery, from the celebrated
DIR. Yerkes down, who can bring for
ward a single argument that will
contute a single utterance of that
most excellent and logical Sunday law
sermon as reported in the CONNER
cial.
Since writing the above our Coving-
ton representative has had an inter
view with VIM. Ernst, ESQ.,, the lay
delegate from the church, who stated
that Mr.. Moore presented to the Pres
bytery a full synopsis of the sermon
which has caused all of the rumpus.

OF the position he has taken on the
subject. The reverend gentleman is

,Jews as NihiIists.

ST. Petersburg Letter to the London Times.l
Since my last letter the accusations
against tho Jews as the instigators and
associates Of the nihilists have APP
peared with redoubledintensity in the
Russian press, and particularly in a
certain organ, which, by ~pandering to
the appetites Of the lower orders,
seeks to obtain a foremost place
among its contemporaries. Among
the individuals implicated in the pol
itical trials in connection with the
nihilist movement some Jewish
names have been discovered, and, as a
consequence, the following inductions
have been drawn The Russian or
Christian population of the empire
amounts to so many millions
the Jewish to so many (;
among the nihilists a much
larger proportion of Jews is found;
consequently, the Jewish element
participates in the nihilist agitation in
a much larger proportion to its num-
bers than the Russian. This reason
ing is vicious, and the sophistical
arguments of the newspaper statisti-
clan have been already refuted as
follows: The rural population of Rus

orthodox Russians, without admix-
tureof Jews, numbers $4,000. 900 souls.
