General Gctiy's Retirement.

General Georg. W. Getty, L. 5. A., has
recently peiitioncd Congress, through the
military channels, TO retire him, October .,
when he is g., as general officer General
Sherman in submitting the petition endorsed
i. US follows:
ask the privilege not only 10 endorse this
petition of Colonel George w. Getty, 4th Ar
lillcry, but to add my own flat this act of
simple justice may DO done as an example
to younger men who may thereby
be encouraged to initiate his example.
George Getty, as boy and man through a
long. cvcniful life. has been model gentle
man and soldier Of unacceptable habits,
of superior intelligence and high professional
requirements. He has always been selected
in war and peace for high and reasonable
commands. Modest to fault, he has never
pushed himself forward into undue rromi-
ucnuc, bnt has done well all that he was ap-
pointed to do, and has alwaya been sought
for by his seniors for parts requiring high
qualifications and professional excellence.
He has commanded divisions in battle, de-
partmcrts or districts in peace and is now
serving on his brcvct rank Of major-gen-
cial.
1t does seem to me unfair that a great ma
ton like the United States should compel Il
colonel to do the work Of II major general on
the pay of colonel through years Of life
and when age brings its natural infirmity to
turn him out on the diminished pay of his
lowest rank. 1t would seem more just to
mlc, these exceptional cases by general
law, but us Congress reserves to itself TO deal
with those cases, most respectfully repre-
sent that the principles of common justice
seem to demand that General Getty shouli,
du,pg his few remaining years, have for the
support of himself and of his dependent
family the retired pay of q major. general.
Even this will fall far short of compensation
for the labor and responsibility imposed on
him by superior authority in cxacting from
hi, the work of maio general on the pay
of a CJlolcl.
W. 1. SHERMAN, General.
We sincerely trust that General Getty's pc
tilion will find favor with Congress and We
assure our Vermont Senators and Represent
atigcs, that any action that ,hey may take in
support of it will b. especially gratifying to

TIRE LEADING MAGAZINE FOR BOYS AND GIRL.
ST. NICHOLAS,


The New York Tribune once said: ''In the
avalanche of immoral literature that threat
ems the children, some strong, vitality whole
some, and really attractive magazine is re-
qui red for them, and ST. NICHOLAS has reach.
ed higher platform, and commands for this
service wider resources in art and letters,
than any of its predecessors or cOntempora-
ries." The reference to the wide resources
in art and letters commanded by ST. Mono
LAS was never more fully illustrated than by
the extraordinary list of attractions which
that magazine announces for 1884. The fol-
lowing will be some of the leading contribu-
tors:

best artists and engravers illustrate the mag
azine. 1t has been truly said that the read

"a LIBERAL EDUCATION

The Truants.

I saw two truants on their way to school,
To whom the ripple of the brooks
Was more enticing than the rigid rule
Laid down by pedagogues and books.
On MANY a winding, devious rill
Stray chipsand Ieafy boats they cast,
And watched them. gleefully, fulfill
Their owners wishes as they passed.
Some took the currents central tide,
AND some went slow, and some went
faster;
And some were soon washed aside
And. overcome with dire disaster.
And some went ON beyond their ken,
And some were stranded in their sight,
And then l unused, 'Tis SO with men,
And we but mimic their delight.
1--WE cast our hopes upon the tide,
Despite Experiences tuition;
And some are rudely washed aside
A few float on toward fruitiOn."
That evening, when my work was passed,
wandered by distant pool.
And found those boats the children cast
As playthings on their way to school
And mrny an idle dream wrought
Upon Life's doubtful destiny;
IT'S so with human souls, thought
They sail to seas of mystery.
Yet, 1 will hope, upon that Fathers shore
Even as | found the little children's
boats,
To find the friends who cast their sails
before
This is the vision that before me floats.

When to Cut Timber.

An expert on the subject of timber says
that cutting should be done during the
fall of the sap. When young leaves and
fruit are forming the sap is rising. As
soon as the leaves are fully formed and
the fruit changes color, or in the case of
pines the cone becomes ripe, then is the
time to commence telling, and continue
doing so until the leaf buds begin to form
again. The rising of the sap softens the
timber, which. if felled when full of sap
is apt to split in seasoning. Resinous
woods, such as pine, form by the exuda-
tiOn of resin in their ends, a film which
prevents the escape of sap, hence it is
best to strip the bark from pine logs as
soon as felled. In the case of hard woods
it is best to quarter the logs through the
center, as, if left entire, they are apt to
split radlally along the medullary rays
In the case of hard woods, if the size re
quired will not admit of quartering, it is
advisable to strip off the bark and smear
the cut ends with new manure. This
left on for few weeks, effectually pre-
vents splitting. The superiority of tim
Der cut in season over that cut out of sea-
ssh will make ample amends for any loss
of time occasioned by carrying out the
practice Systematically"

Tender Pork.

II is a well known fact that the meat
of hogs six or eight months old is far
more tender. juicy and valuable than is
the meat of hogs that are from twelve
to eighteen months old. The English
cured bacon has always had the reputa-
tion of being very superior article of
its kind, and one of the reasons for this
is probably owing to the fact that it is
all made of young hogs; and among the
packing houses in our country that are
engaged In supplying the English mar
ket with American cured bacon there is
a constant, strong demand being kept up
all the time for light, middling fat bacon
hogs, that is, your hogs six to eight
months old, weighing ITO to 200 pounds.

Gems of Thought.

A Russian proverb says: The devil
lies hidden where the water is stillest.
Comparison, more than reality makes
men happy, and can make them wretch
ed.
Let friendship creep gently to a
height; if it rush to it, it may soon run
itself out of breath.
The only sound and healthy dsscrip
ton of assisting is that which teaches
independence and self exertion.
There is no trait more valuable than
determination to persevere when the
right thing is to be accomplished.
The work prospers through endeavors,
not through vows. The fawn runs not
into the mouth of sleeping lion.
Opposition is what we want and must
have. to he good for anything. Hard
ship is the native soil of manhood and
self-reliance.

"GO. Work To-day"

go. work today" the Master saith,
Waste not thy time repining.
Fill every hour with earnest deeds,
While bright the sun is shining.
What though We do not see the fruit,
Yet still continue sowing;
For night and day-asleep, awake
The grain is ever growing.
To-morrow's work may hot be yours,
Nor yours the joy of reaping.
Go work to-day" and leave the seed
Safe in the Masters keeping.
That seed shall to the harvest come,
Though you in death are sleeping;
Others shall reap what you have sown.
Work on, and cease thy weeping.

The Bow and the Man.

Many years ago 4 poor shepherd boy
clad in an old plaid mantle. went into
a book store in Edinburg and asked for
a secondhand Greek Testament, being
unable to buy new one. The book
seller having handed him one, the boy
asked the prlce.
For whom do you want it?" asked
the bookseller.
For myself" answered the boy.
"Can you read Greek ?"
Yes. sir" modestly replied the boy.
Then said the bookseller, "if you
give you book"
The boy, highly pleased with the pro-
posal. read the Greek text and then
translated it into English.
Take the book. my boy said the
bookseller; "you are welcome to it.
The boy thanked him, clapped the
book under his arm and walked of in
triumph to the pasture to attend the
sheep.
Many years afterward that same boy
(ahl be had become a man Row) stepped
into the same book store, entered into
conversation with the book seller and
asked him if he remembered giving a
secondhand Greek Testament to poor
shepherd boy one morning?
Yes, | remember it well,' said the
bookseller, and l should like TO know
what became of that boy, for l am cer-
tain he has risen to emirence in some
profession or other"
Sir" said the man, you see him be-
fore you"
Now, who do you think he was? The
Rev. John Brown, f Haddington, one
of the most eminent authors and COM
mentators of the Scriptures the world
ever produced.
