the following extract from Wash
lngton's farewell address:
"Ihe period for new election
OF a citizen to administer the ex-
ecutlve government Of the United
States being not far distant, and
the time actually arrived when
your thoughts must be employed
in designating the person who is to
be clothed with that important
trust, it appears to mo proper,
especially as it may conduce to
moro distinct expression of the
public voice, that l should now ap-
prize you Of the resolution [ have
formed, to decline being consider
cd among the number Of those out
OF whom the choice is to be made.
1 beg you at the same time to do
me the justice to be assured that
this resolution has not been taken
without a strict regard to The rela-
ton which binds Il doubtful citizen
to his country, and that in with
drawing the tender of service
which silcrcc in my situation
might imply,i am influenced bv no
musltion Of zeal for your future
Interest; no deficiency OF grateful
respect for your past Kindness;
but ann supported by a fall convic-
ton that the step is compatible
with both.''

TIE Philosophy or RAIN
Q understand the philosophy of
this beautiful and often sublime
phcnomcnon, SO often witnessed
and so very essential to the exist
oncc OF plants and animals, a few
facts derived from observation and
a long train of experiments, must
be remembered.
|. Were the atmosphere here,
everywhere, and at all times of a
uniform temperature, we should
never have rain, hail or snow.
The water absorbed by it in cvapo
ration from the sea and the earth's
surface, would descend in an i'm
perccptiblo vapor, or cease to be
absorbde by the air when it was
once fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently it's
capacity to retain humidity, is an
porlionatcly greater in warm than
IN cold air. The air near tho sur
face Of the earth is warmer than it
is i'll tho region of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the
earth the colder do VIC find the
atmosphere. Hence the perpetual
snow on very high mountains in
the hottest climate.
Now, when from continued
evaporation the air is highly satu-
rated with vapor, though it be in
visible and the SIX cloudless, if its
temperature is suddenly reduced
by cold currents descending from
above, or rushing from higher to
a lower latitude, its capacity to re-
tain moisture is dimishcd, clouds
are formed and rain is the result.
1t condcnscs, cooIs, and like a
sponge filled with water and com
pressed, pours out the watcr,which
it's diminished capacity cannot
hold,

He was employed by Congress

He was employed by Congress
to draft an act. So important was
it that he spent six months in try
ing to perfect its phraseology. His
purpose was to make the statute
so clear that the most astute law
yer should not be- able to cast the
shadow of a doubt upon it's mean
ing.
The draft, proving satisfactory
to tho lawyers in Congress,becamo G
a law. In less than a year a suit,
involving the Interpretation of this
very law, camo before the court
over which Justice Story presided.
Having heard the arguments from
able attorneys the Judge confessed
that he was unable to decide upon
the meaning of statute which he
himself had framed.
He, of course, knew whas he
had meant to put into the law.
But the criticisms of the two law
yers showed him that he had used
such ambiguous expressions that it
was doubtful if he had said what
he meant to have said.

Francis Fontaino, Commissioner of I'm
migration for the State Of Georgia. has
written letter to the New York Times, in
which lie shows, by facts and figures, that

garrison, that their condition is far better
than that OF the English farmer, is as good
as that OF the New England laborer, and

Wishing.

.F<~A u 2 y
Of all amusements of tho mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There Is not ono that you can fnd
SO very cheap as wishing:
A very choice diversion, too,
live but rightly Wow it,
And not, as we srs apt to do,
Pervert it aud abuse it.
wish--a common wish, indeed
My purse was somewhat fattcr,
That might cheer the child Of need,
And not my pride TO ia,ter;
That Wight make oppression reel,
Asgo'd oan only make it,
And break tho tyreut's rod OF steel,
AS gold oan ouly break it.
I wish that 81 mpathy and love,
And every human passion,
That has its origin ahoyo,
Would come aud keep in fashion;
That scorn aud jeulously aud hate,
And every buse emotion,
Were buried City tathoms d.sp
Beneath the waves of ocean
wish that friends wero alwars 80,
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not 80 few
wish tho bad were fcwer;
wish tkot persons ne'er forgot
10 keep their pious teachings;
wish that practioing was not
So different FROM preaching.
wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor,
J. wish that innocence were free
From trcachery and slander;
wish that maids their VOWS would mind
That women no'cr were rovers,
| wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
wish, in fine, that joy aud mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come erewhie throughout tho earth
10 be the glorious real
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremcst blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And Wishing bo possessing.

Universal Education.

There can be no denial of the fact that
to accommodate ourselves to the circumstan-
ces by which we are snrronodcd We must
have more general education. General
jackson. rough und uncdncAted himself,
was one Of the most nstute men of his day,
aud used The m,'norane language Of "cdu-
cate the penp'".' If this was necessary in
Jack>nn's tine, row n.nch murc important

and :, great ~ snI ignorance wt,s turned

This cnUe"tinn must nnorssarly he largely

conflict between the higher grades of
education, as taught in colleges or univcr-
tics, and that taught iu common schools.
acknowledge is power" and in that country
where it is most generally dfuscd is labor
best paid apd protected. Never wero truer
sentiments uttered than these from the
Hon. George Vest, of Missouri:
z "Education must supplement universal
suffrnge. Would you destroy in temperance
empty jails, deplete your penitentiarics,
thcn educate tho people. Would you en-
shrine the divinity of home, the wife and
mother, instead Of the Moloch of the rum
shop and gambling house, theu educate tho
peoplo. Would you lcarn men how to live,
how to preserve health, how to make home
comfortable, then educate them. No pco :
pic over went into revolution or commun nism
who wero we'll fed, we'll clothed and we'll
housed. Let tho school house crown every
mound upon our praircs. It is the
temple of liberty and the shrine of law
and ORDER"
WHY THE LAW IS UNCERTAIN
Language is an imperfect instru-
ment for the expression Of ideas
Not a few of it's forms are ambigu.
Gus; that is, they speak in two
ways. Readers and hearers arc
leftin old Isaac's pcrplexity. Tho
voice is that Of jacob, tho hand is
that Of Esau.
Many Of the terms Of language
arc equivocaI. They havo two
meanings, SO that the reader is ir
doubt as to the mind or intention
of the writer.
Those who draft statutes know
how difficult it is to frame law
which shall be free from ambigu
Gus expressions or equivocal terms
Judge Story once told persona
incident, which illustrates this
difficulty.
