FRESH AR.-Give your children plenty Of
fresh air Let them snuff it until it sends the

"To put children on short allowance Of fresh
air, is as foolish as it would have been for Noah
during the deluge to have put his family on
short allowance of water Since God has poured
out an atmosphere fifty miles deep. it is enough

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE AND THE LAw-The
Springfield, (Mass.,) Republican, thus dis
courses on Sunday laws:


ave have no doubt that the conservation
of one day in seven to rest from labor and
to religious culture IS a wise and beneficent
arrangement, and whether it is positively
commanded or not by Christianity, the keep
ing of the day is personal and public ben
eft. 1t is quite likely that our most relig-
ious people err by sacrificing the proper rest
of the day to an excess of religious work,
and it may we'll be questioned whether GO
ing to church three times during the day does
not break the Sabbath quite as effectually
as staying away from church altogether"

A GOoD THING IN THE STORY LIxE.-Some
years ago, a Cincinnati paper received and
printed the first chapter Of what appeared to
be most thrilling romance, in expectation of
being provided with the concluding portions as
might be needed. The chapter was very in
genlously written, and concluded by leaving
the principal character suspended by the pan
falcons from the limb of tree over a pcrpen-
dicular precipice. 1t attracted the attention
Of the press, and inquiries began to be made
concerning the continuation Of the fate of it's
hero. Day after day the victimized publishers
looked for the remaining chapters, but in vain.
They never came to hand. Finding that they
had been sold, and wishing to put stop to the
jokes their contemporaries were cracking at
their expense, they briefly concluded the story
thus

Another article which the poor are apt
to envy in the rich is their ease Now here
they mistake tho matter totally. They
call inaction ease, whereas nothing is fur
ther from it. Rest is ease. That is true;
but no man can rest who has not worked
Rest is the cessation of labor. 1t cannot
therefore be enjoyed, or even tasted, except
by those who have known fatigue. The
rich see and not without envy, the refresh
ment which rest affords the poor, and choose
to wonder that they cannot find the same
enjoyment in being free from the necessity
of working at sll.


They do not observe that this enjoyment
must be purchased by previous labor, and
he who will not pay the price will not have
the qualification. Being without work is
ono thing; repose from work is another
The one is as insipid aud tiresome, as the
other is smooth and soothing. The one in
general, is the fate of the rich man, the 9TH
er is the fortune of the poor.


have heard il said that if the face Of
happiness can any where be seen, it is in
the summer evening of a country village;
there after the labors of the day, each
man at his own door, with his children,
among his neighbors, feels his frame and
his heart at rest, everything about him
pleased and pleasing, and delight of com
plaeency, in his sensations far beyond what
either luxury OF diversion can afford. The
rich want this; and they want what they
can hardly have.

"Paeihc" the Washington correspondent
of the Kansas City Journal, writes thus in
regard to the prospects of the grants of
land for Railroad purposes in Kansas:


The Kansas land grants continue to work
their way through the lobby, with, I fear,
but little prospect OF success. A bill was
proposed on yesterday, which gave a r,ad
up the Kansas Valley, road from Eeaven-
worth to Fort Gibson, one from Atchison
to Fort Riley, one from the east line of the
Territory south of the 4th standard parallel
10 Emporia, and one from Emporia to the
mouth of the Kansas. The Kansas Valley
road had two stems west of Fort Riley, one
TO Bridger's Pass and one to Fort Union.
This bill received the concurrence of all in
terests except Leavenworth, and it was dis
tinctly stated by them that they would de-
feat any bill or any system of roads which
embraced line from the mouth of the riv-
er into Southern Kansas. Tie matter stands
TINS at the present writing, and it is only a
question as to whether SoutherR Kansas
shall be sacrificed or whether no grants are
to be made.


He also writes in regard to the West:


A sudden fit of economy has seized upon all
Departments, and more time is spent in dis
cussing retrenehment and reform than any
thing else.i The West, too, is frightful
bugbear--it grows too fast for the old fogies.

that it can need any appropriations. They

We are zoo far from Washington to be cared

the vote of the Great West after 1870 will
have the power, and ought to exercise it, of
removing the seat of government to the

The st. Louis Democrat is of the opinion
that those who talk so much about the fil :

scale; and as one or two men have been
hanged by the civilized world for piracy, the

that standard when it is unfurled. 1t is

EITHER Crazy OR LAzY-Daniel McDevit
was examined upon a charge of vagrancy in
the San Francisco police court on Wednes-
day morning. 1t appears, says the Telegram,
that Nc. has been doing nothing for some
time but street-gazing, and that he has been
detected in ogling the girls. When he was
asked by his Honor what was the reason he
did not work, Nc launched forth into a very
voluble statement in regard to his large pos
sessions, stating that he was the lawful own
er of all the land between the city and Fort
Point; that his rents were enormous, and
that therefore he had no occasion to work.
As for the charge Of his attentions to the la
dies he repudiated that in toto. He did not
covet any of them, maid, wife or widow, and
he would not marry any woman in California.
He was sent to the Court of Sessions to be
examined as to his sanity.

LoAFERs IN PRINTING OFFICE.-The COM
posing room of printing Office is not the place
to tell long stories, or argue points in metaphy-
sizes. printing Office Is like school; it can
have no interlopers, hangers-on, or twaddlers,
without a serious inconvenience, to say nothing
of loss of time, which is just as good as gold to
who would enter school and twaddle first with
the teacher and then with the scholars-inter-
rupting the discipline of one and the studies of
the otherP And yet this is the precise effect of
the loafers with the course of business-dis-
tracts the great attention which is necessary to
the good printer. No gentleman will ever en-
ter it and presume to act the loafer. He will
feel above it, for no real man sacrifices the in
terest or interferes with the duties of others
The loafer does both. Let him think, if he
never has that the last place he should ever in
sinuate his worthless and unwelcomed presence
is in printing office.

TIE CoNsUMPTIvE TUToR-THE OLD STo-
RY RE-ToLD.-About the time that the lichens,
falling on the stone, like drops Of water, had
spread into fair, round rosettes, the tutor had
starved into slight cough. Then he began to
draw the buckle of his black pantaloons little
tighter, and took in another reef in his never
ample waistcoat. His temples got a little hol-
low, and the contrasts of color in his cheeks
more vivid than of old. After while his walks
tatigued him, and he was tired and breathed
hard after going up flight or two of stairs.
Then came on other marks of inward trouble
and general waste, which he spoke of to his
physician as peculiar, and doubtless owing to as
cidental causes to all which the doctor listened
with Difference as if it had not been the old story
that one in five or six of mankind in temperate
climates tells, or has told for him, as if it were
something new. As the doctor went out, he said
to himself-'On the rail at last. Accommoda-
ton train. good many stops, but will get to the
station by and by So the doctor wrote a recipe
with the astrological sign of Jupiter before it,
Cust as your own physician does, inestimable
reader, as you will see, if you look at his next
prescription, and departed, saying he would look
in occasionally. After this, the Latin tutor began
the usual course of getting better until he got
so much better that his face was very sharp, and
when he smiled three crescent lines showed at
each side of his lips, and when he spoke, it was
in muiiled whisper, and the white of his eye
glistened as pearly as the purest porcelain,-so
much better that he h0ped-by spring he
might be able-to-attend--to his class again.
But he was recommended not to expose himself,
and so keep his chamber, and occasionally not
having anything to do, his bed. The unmarried
sister with whom he lived took care of him; and
the child, now old enough to be manageable and
even useful in trihing offices, sat in the chamber
or played about.


Things could not go on so forever, of course.
One morning his face was sunken and his hands
very, very cold Hewas "better," he whispered,
