1t was the common belief here when
Tom Wright, the recently convicted colored
murderer, was placed on trial that, because
of the facs that six colored men were on the
jury, no verdict would be rendered in his
case. The injustice shown to the colored
Jurors by this suppostionis is manifest by the
fact that in twenty minutes after retiring,
or in Just the time requisite to take ballot,
the Jury came to the unanimous verdict OF
guilty. In fact, Wright declares that he
should have Jared better with white jury.
Theseeolored jurors have certainly shown q
disposition to enforce the law and punish

A fine old gentleman, of cultivated
mind, vast general information and
great experience in human affairs,
was accustomed to amuse himself with
reading the little trifing newspapers
published in villages and small towns.
One evening he seated himself in his
comfortable armchair to peruse one af-
teranother ofthese publications, which,
in the opinion of their respective edi-
tors, were the lights ofthe world. There
were the Eagle of Liberty, Office To-
Gated at West Minkville, the Cabbage
Head, published IN the city of Dutch
Gardens, and the Potato Vine, the
oracle of Sandy Hollow. The Cab
bage Head was so named because the
country surrounding Dutch Gardens
was noted for the production of cab
bage and the manufacture Of sour
crout.


The Eagle of Liberty and the Cab
bage Head had, for some time previous
to this, been engaged in war of words
about various matters Of great i'm
portance to the whole human race, so
these papers said. The Potato Vine
had until lately maintained an omi-

Indians drive close bargains, and
their generosity, so much talked about,
is, so far as my experience goes, all a
sham. An Indian never gives away
anything without he expects four times
as much in return. As race, they
are great beggars, receiving all things
as a matter of course, but returning
nothing. Yo4 may give red skin
ever so much, and the next day he will
return for more. Their nature is a

We are glad to see that many of our
citizens are taking advantage of the
low. price Of corn to lay in heavy sup
plies of it for fuel. We haye expert
mented with it for the last week, and
find that it is an admirable substitute
for both wood and coal, and that at
present prices there is both economy
and comfort in its use.


A ton of corn, thirty-three bushels,
at seventeen cents per bushel, is So 60
We consider this equal to cord Of
hard wood, as supplied and measured
in our market, at 81; the cutting of
this cord, 81 50-total, SO so; thus
max ng saving of nearly SO a cord.


For kitchen fuel it is superior to
wood, except hickory, and cheaper
than that. 1t makes a very hot fire
with a great deal of blaze. We judge
that three tons Of corn are equal to
the heat of one ton of hard coal,
while In economy fits use it is equal
to one and half tons of coal. In
small families and small houses there
is always a great waste of hard coal,
while there is none in the use of corn
Besides this, there is the public bene-
fit of retaining in the country all the
money we send to Pennsylvania for coal
and feed our farmers by consuming
their products.

Young man did you ever ask your
self why there are so many people in
the world unimployed, and why so
many fill the drunkard's grave? There
is employment for the entire world,
yes, honorable employment, yet we
often see young men of abilities phys
ieal aud mental, lOafng around, lulling
away the springtime of their life in ut
ter wOrthlessness. Young man con-
slider, remember, however true it may
be that our country is controlled by
your superiors, and the positions of
honor and usefulness are at present be-
yOnd your grasp; the grandest of our
future rests upon you. Remember the
world was not made in day. Neither
can you make your fortune, nor gain
a reputation in day Bide your time
and persevere. Perseverance and en-
ergy will be sure to lead to success.
If in your power, by all means choose
profession and pursue it. Honor
your profession, and it will honor you.
Work is no dishopor and laziness Is no
credit to any one. 1t is good to have
wages but half pay is better than
nothing, and working for nothing is
better than idleness and vice. Remem-
Der there is a greater demand for young
men now than ever before. For young
men, who are not for sale-for with
these the market is supplied-true
honest young men, sound from center
to circumference and whose conseien-
ces are as steady as the needle to the
pole Men who know their positions
and fill them. Young men, who are
not too lazy to work, not too proud to
be poor; and are willing to eat what
they have earned and paid for Talent
is a good thing and if you have it inn
prove it; but if you have not got it,
then make the best use of tact. Edu-
cate yourselves, or you will go down to
the tomb of oblivion-perhaps to ruin.
While, if you educate yourselves, you
will be an honor to yourselves and to
your country. Education is worth
more than gold, it is constant friend
through life, and at death a consola-
ton. Be Independent so far as you
are able. Live forsomething and think
for yOurself-it is too expensive to
hire others to do your thinking and
let your machine decay in rust At
tend to your own business, and be sure
to let other peoples alone. Have but
few confdents-the fewer the better
and always be true to your friends.
Fear not your enemies and remember
your character cannot be materially
injured, except by your own acts.


Young men, cut this out; paste it In
your album for future reference. Do
good and leave behind you a moDu-
ment of virtue that the storms of time
cannot destroy. Strive to have your
name to shine as brilliant star in the
classical skies. Write your name by
Kindness and love on the hearts Of the
thousands with whom you associate,
and you may rest assured that you will
never be forgotten.
