exchange very truthfully gives
the secret of so many OverwOrked
men in this way:
eve continually hear a good deal
about men being Overworked. Prof
essional men and public officers
seem especially to suffer from this
affiiction, and a great deal of sym
pathy is bestowed upon them, es-
pecially upon the professional men.
The clergy are made much OF when
they are overwOrked. Then the
congregation raises handsome sum
and sends the poor, OverWorked
man off to Europe to amuse himself
and he amuses himself very much
indeed. We know good deal
about wOrk-hOnest, square, steady,
effective work but about OverWOrk
we have a great deal of doubt. Gen.
orally speaking, when man is TO
be Verworked, the truth is that he
has been guilty of some excess
which breaks down his strength.
There may be cases in which there
is an excess of work, but of these
cases there are very few indeed.
The excess is in eating, in drinking,
in neglect of exercise, or in some
other mysterious way. A man of
ordinary health can stand all the
real work that he has to do, but the
additional strain which he puts
upon himself, work is more than he
can bear. There is no delusiOn
more frequent or more absurd than
this delusion of OverWOrk. There is
always excess in the case, no doubt,
but not an excess of labor. 1t is an
excess of some other kind"

Wonderful Statement.

The following from the Knox.
vile Tribune will be read with in
tereSt:
Mrs. w. G. Newly, of Maryyille,
has for three years been deprived oil
the power of speech. For two years
she consulted many physicians and
spent much money in the hopes OF
regaining her speech or obtaining
come relief from her terrible atflic-
ton. She despaired Of ever being
any better, and for the last year had
no medical assistance.
She is a member of the Society OF
Friends or what is generally known
as Quaker. Last Thursday Mrs.
Newly resolved to call upon the
Lord, and in faith ask Him to re-
store her speech. She went down
into the cellar and began to pray
fervently. She prayed long and
earnestly. She promised the Lord
that if He would deliver her from
her affiiction, that she would ever
bless His name and proclaim His
praises. Immediately she began to
sing "Praise God from whom all
blessings fiOw." She came up from
the cellar singing and has since had
perfect use of speech.
These facts are vouched for by
scores of the best people of Mary
vile. At least they know that the
woman has been dumb for years
and can now talk.
Our informant is Mr.. J. w. Gull
ton, editor of the Maryville Watch
man.

q" Can SWIM, SIR. 3"

During a terrible naval battle be-
tween the English and Dutch, the
English flagship, commanded by
Admiral Marlborough, was drawn
into the thickest of the fight. Two
masis were soon shot away, and the
main-masts fell with fearful crash
upon the deck. Admiral Mar
borough saw that all was lost unless
he could bring up his ships from the
right. Hastily scrawling an order,
he called for volunteers to swim
across the boiling water, under the
hail of shot and shell. A dozen
sailors at once offered their services,
and among them cabin boy.
"Why," said the Admiral, "what
can you do, my fearless lad? ?"
II can swim, sir" the boy replied;
"If / be shot, can be easier SPARED
than any one else"
Marlborough hesitated, his men
were few, and his position was des-
perate. The boy plunged into the
sea amid the cheers Ofthe sailors, and
was soon lost to sight. The battle
ragged tiercer, and as time went on
defeat seemed inevitable. But just
as hope was fading a laundering
cannOnade was heard from the right,
and the reserve was seen bearing
down upon the enemy. By sunset
the Dutch fleet were scattered far
and wide, and the cabin boy, the
hero of the hour, was called to re-
ceive the honor due him. His
mOdesty and bearing so won the
heart of the old Admiral that he eX-
claimed:
81 shall live to zee you have a
flagship of your own"
The prediction was fulfilled when
the boy, having become Admiral
Cloudsley Shovel, was knighted by
the king.

A Reformed Hoyden.
Nashville World.

1t was a sad duty to this journal
to record a few weeks ago the story
of a young lady, who, with the
hoydenish desire to see life, as the
boys see it, dressed in male attire,
and with her cousin, a prominent
young business man of this city,
was arrested while "taking in the
town." This was about o'clock in
the morning.
The twain were taken to the work
house, and from thence to the Re-
cOrder's Court, where they sat Oh
the mOurner's bench until his hon.
or, the Judge, was pleased 10 appear
and assess their fines. This was no
sooner done than the young gentle
man came forward, antied prompt
ly and took away his misgui ded
companion in tears.
The fact leaked out yesterday
that the young lady in question was
married wOman-thOugh only
sixteen years old-and had just be-
come the bride of a banker in the
northwestern portion of this State.
1t is further stated that since her
return home she has confessed all
her pecadillOs to her Ieige lord,
who, upon her promise, never, new
er to do so any more, has freely for
given her. 1t is not told what she
did with the natty littlesuit of boys
clothing, cane, boots and hat that
were purchased for the occasion.

Gabriel threw up his saber "Le
Beau Sabreur," Murat the chief of
the einperor's cavalry, and felt a
thrill of pride that he saw him at
last on the battle field.
The marshal was riding leisurely
on, and, as Gabriel saluted, he scam
ned the young cuirassier's figure APP
provingly.
"Your regiment has done well,
captain" he said "but have you
Austrian ?"
Then Gabriel remembered that he
had to account for his presence on
the field, so he answered:
"No, Monsieur lie Marechal The
fact is, l have no business here but
i could not helpit when / saw my
old regiment coming"
The marshal looked at him
haughtily.

81 aIn Captain Lenoir, military
attdche to the legation at Berlin"
answered Gabriel.
Marshal tIurat frowned heavily.
"YOu are, are you? Then, cap
tain, you will report at once to

majesty has enough officers to do
duty, without your pushing your
nose in where il does not concern
you. Report 10 the Provost Marshal
at Nordlingen, by my orders. Not

And the brilliant marshal swept
across the field leaving Gabriel pet
rified with establishment. He had
expected praise, and he had receiv-
ed a regular snubbing.

The Education of Princes.
Chambers Journal.

1t is custom in the Prussian
royal family that every prince shall
be apprenticed TO trade, in order
that he might be able to earn his
living in case of Il revolution. The
present crown prince was taught
watch making; but whether he
could obtain the wages of a skilled
journeynan, if his fathers crown
failed him, is another question. Du-
ring the first French revolution the
duke of Orleans, who afterward be-
came skiing of France" by the title
of Louis Philippe, had for time
to earn his living as a school master
i'm Switzerland. Doubtless most
German princes in these times
would be able to do the same, for
they are all capital linguists and ar
ithmeticians, besides being uncOm-
monty expert in hOrsemanship, fen
cling and drill.

The Negro Problem.
Brooklyn Eagle.


The writer made the acquain-
lance of gentleman who owned a
large sugar plantation in Southern
Louisiana. This man was born in
Boston, graduated from the Column
bia College School Of Mines, and
had lived in Chicago. He was
thoroughly imbued with northern
ideas, and was the incarnation OF
yankee perseverance and enterprise.
The story he told OF his long fight
against the entertainments and
overflow of the father of waters had
the elements of the heroic all
through it, and was worthy of de-
scriptiOn of the hand almost, that
penned the second part Of Faust.
When he located in Louisiana he
had to face the question OF labor.
He tried to solve it as he would
have done at the north. He fur
nished the negroes with good quar-
tiers, a schoOl-hOuse and teacher,
a church and preacher, and aimed
at the acquisition of good laborers
by first making his employees COM
Portable and contented. He tried
both hiring and the shares system.
When the writer talked with him
he had had four years ofexperience.
He had had the philanthropy all
drowned out of him. He Regarded
the negroes as incorrigible. He was
lazy, worthless, immoral, lapsing
into barbarism, and vOudOism in
spite of all his employer could do.
While emotional and easily respOn-
ding to the rude elOquence of the
preacher, he was apparently with
out any real moral sense, or enough
10 be improved on. He was beastly
immoral he would steal /; he would
work only so long as to supply his
appetite, and not then if he could
satisfy his hunger with theft. This
gentleman, well-read in all the
PHILOSOPHERS, saw no hope for the
negro. He could not be helped, be-
cause he would not help himself.

BY reason of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want OF knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social orga nj
zation. The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to a degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the hovel
OF the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
and without a remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
