MONDAY IN pERRysBURG.

On Monday, every place OF business in
town was closed, nearly all abstaincd from
labor during the entire day and wore
badge OF mourning. A solemnity, never
before experienced, seemed to rest upon all,
entirely uninterrupted, excepting by few
tcomslcrs who evidently had not learn
cd OF the Presidents death, and were en-
gagged in hauling timber into town. At
nearly every farm in this vicinity nn en-
blem OF mourning could be seen and the
farming community generally ceased from
labor.
AT THE M. Il. CHURCH.
Services commenced promptly at 2 +. NJ.
About forty members oil Woliord Post at

to It's entire capacity. Rev. G. A. Adams,
OF the First Presbyterian Ceurch, took
charge of the services, in the absence Of the
NJ. Il. Pastor. Passages of Scripture were
read by Rev. II. Krill, OF the German NJ,
Il. Church. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Samuel Wilson, OF the Disciple Church,
the same denomination OF which the late
lamentcd President was member. Rev
a. B. Robinson, of the Walnut st. Presby
terian Church, made few well chosen re-
marks upon the beautiful life and charac-
ter OF the man the loss OF whom We have
been called upon to mourn. Rev. q. A..
Adams spoke in an impressive manner,
dwelling particularly upon the fact that
this was notable illustration oil the weak.

and acknowledged by spontaneous expires

less nssassin, little better than a lunntic,
whom TO put TO the most shameful death
would be TO give him too much honor,
teaches us the falibility of all we hold
most dear on earth. There was very
full choir, and the selection OF anthem and
hymns was good and well rendered.

Instead OF the regular exercises, services
suitable to the occasion were held. A brief
and comprehensive sketch Of the life of
the late President was given to the school
by the Superintendent, L. j. Oblinger. lie
related the story Of his early boyhood and
the hardships which he was obliged to
overcome, in his attempt to obtain means
for an education; his triumph over all his
difficulties by his strict adhorance to Chris-
tian principles M taught him by his moth

or during his whole life. ID. A. Haylor,
Superintendent Of the Union Schools, being
called upon, addressed the youth in very
impressive manner, admonishing them to
pattern by tho life Of this great man, and
although none Of them might ever become
exalted to tho position Of President OF the
United States, they might all attain his
high standard Of moral and chl istian worth
and without which his loss would not be

GENIRs AND WORK.

Young people are inclined to believe
that If person has genius he need not
work tOs4Sin success. But the truth Is
that genius shows itself in the labor to
which it urges its possessor. The au-
thors and artists, the actors and orators,
who have made their mark, have, what
ever else they possessed, had the power
to labor long and hard in their chosen
calling.
Thackerav SAYS of Lord Macaulay
that che reads twenty books TO write a
sentence; he travels hundred miles TO
make line OF description" The flow.
inc periods aud the exact pen-pictures
Of the great historian were the result of
constant paius,takiug and unwearied
labor
Michael Angelo was, up to the last
years Of his long life, Industrious sculp
tor and painter. Turner, the finest
English landscape painter OF fhis gener-
alton, worked constantly ly at his art.
The power of the actor and orator
demands training tob be OF use. "Acting,
said the elder Kean, "does net, like
Dosberry s reading and writing, come
bv nature" The same might be said
Of the oratory OF Wendell Phillips on
the platform, or the eloquence OF Bish'
op Simpson and DR.. Il. 5. Stons in the
pulpit.
Genius without hard labor usually
proves a curse 20 him who has it. Ge-
MUS with labor may perform wonders.
Ordinary ability; supported by the will
ingness to work constantly and persist
emily, will schieye success in any pro
fesson or business.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "Thc
worlds no longer clay, but rather iron

not to hammer out place for themselves

THIRTY REASONS.

David Paul Brown recently made an
argument i'll favor of prohibition, IN
which ne completely set aside all con-
s,ltutional and financial objections, and
gave the following thirty reasons why
intoxicating liquors as a beverage
should be prohibited by law. We should
like to see some apologist for liquor
selling attempt to offset them with tho
same number on the other side OF tho
question. Mr.. Srown asks all TO join
in the practical enforcement OF the doc
trine. that the sale ofintOxicsting drinks
as beverage she be prohibited by
law, because
|. They deprive men of their reason
for the time being.
>. They destroy men of the highest
intellectual strength.
8. They foster aud encourage every
species OF immortality.
4. They bar the progress of civiliza-
ton aud religion.
). They destroy the peace and hap
piness of millions of families.
6. They reduce many noble wives and
children to beggary.
7. They cause many thousands ot
murders.
$. They prevent all reformation OF
character.
O. They render abortiye the strong
est resolutions
10. The millions of property expend-
ed in them are lost.
IL. They cause the majority OF tho
cases OF insanity.
y. They destroy both the body aud
the soul. =,
IS. They burden sober people with
millions Of paupers.
II. They cause immense expenses To
prevent crime.
Is. They cost sober people immense
sums in charity.
l6. They burden the people with @
normous tarcs.
Il. Because moderate drinkers want
the temptation removed.
Is. Drunkards want the opportunity
removed.
10. Tax payers want the purue" fo'
moved.
20. Sober people want the nuisance
removed.
2l. The prohibition would save thous-
ands now falling.
22. The sale exposes our person TO
/ insult.
%. The sale exposes our families to
! destruction.
"a. The sale upholds the vicious and
the idle at the expense of the indurtr'ous
/ aud virtuous.
25. The sale subjects the sober to
/ great oppression.
2G. 1t takes the sober mans earnings
to support the drunkard.
27. 1t subjects numberless wives to
untold suilerings.

OUR CITY FARMERS.

If YOU desire TO rank among
The public's pets and charmers,
You ought TO Join without delay
The club of city farmers.
They never handle hoe or rake,
And never ,urn furrow;
But in respect Of theory
Their practice is quite thorough.
They know just when TO NOW the corn,
And when 10 pick potatoes,
And when 10 graft the pumpkin trees,
And when TO dig tomatoes.
They can instruct the farmers wife
Concerning bugs that plague plants;
In making souse of roasting ears
And Matching ont her egg plants.
Quite learnedly they can describe
How cheese is got by chrrning;
Bur how the COWS give buttermllk
Is quite beyond their learning.
They can discourse on breeding fish
TO fill the wastes of ocean,
And still find time TO air their thoughts
About perpetual motion.
OF farming life they are the soul,
The thinkers, not the actors;
And harmlC~sly believe themselves
The peoples benCiactorS.

THE RELIABLE MAN.

Of all the quantities that combine TO
form a good character, there Is not ono
more important than reliability. Most
emphalically is this true ofthe character
of a good business man. The world IL
SELF embraces both truth and honesty,
and the reliable man must necessarily
be truthful and honest We see so
much around us that exhibits the ab-
sence of this crowning quality that wo
are tempted in our bilious moods 10
deny It's very existence. But there arc
nevertheless, reliable men 10 be depend
ed upon, to be trusted, in whom you
may repose confidence, whose word Is
as good as their bond, and whose prom
ise is performance. II any one OF You
know such a man; make him your
friend. You can only do 20, however,
by nssimila,ing bis character.
The reliable man is a man OF good
Judgment. lie does not jump at con
clusions. He is thoughtful He turns
over a subject in his mind and looks at
il all around. lie is not partial or one
sided man. lie sees through N thing.
lie is apt TO be very reticent man. lie
does not have TO talk great deal. He
is a moderate man, not only Ia the hab-
its Of body, but also of mind. lie is not
