THE FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY OF
AGASSIZ, May 28, 1857..
BY R. W. LONGFXLLOW.
It »u fifty years ago
In the pleasant mcrtrth of May,
In the beautiful Pays de Vaud,
A child in its cradle lay.
And Nature, the old nurse, tooK
The child upon her knee,
Saying: “ Here is a story-book
Thy Father has written for thee. ”
“Come, wander with me,” she said,
“Into regions yet untrod ;
And read what is still unread
In the manuscripts of God.”
And he wandered away and away
WrftT Nature, the dear old nilrse,
Who sang to him night and day
The rhymes of the universe.
’-And Whenever the way seemed long,
Or his heart beg in to fail,
She would sing a more wonderful song,
Or fell more marvelous tale.
So keeps him still a child,
And will not let him go,
Though at times his heart beats wild
For the beautiful Pays de Vaud;
Though at times he hears in his dreams
The Ranz des Vanches of old,
And the ruse of mountain stre ms
From glaciers clear and cold;
And the mother at home says, ‘ Hark!
For his voice I listen and yearn ;
It is growing late and dark,
And my boy dobs not return ! ’
.fin ..
A SERMON INTERRUPTED.
AH the pews in our church,
writes Max Adeler, were painted
and varnished during the past
month, and while fixing Dr.
llamm’i pew, the workmen left a
large splotch of varnish on the
hack of it, Last Sunday Dr.
Olamm’s son, Johnny, had his hair
pulled once or twice during the
sermon by Bullet’s boy in the pew
next in the rear. After a while
young Mr. Climm became quiet,
and placed his head right against
this one mass of undried varnish,
while he amused himself reading
over the ten commandments up
on the wall just back of the pul
pit.
Presently he attempted to
move, but the varnish had got
among his hair and held him tight.
After making one or two desper
ate but ineffectual efforts to re
lease himself, he became very
angry, and supposing that Bullet’s
hoy was holding him, he shouted
out: “Let go o’ my hair, I tell you!’'
The minister paused just as he
had entered upon the consider
ation of “thirdly,” and the congre
gation looked around in amaze
ment, just in time to see young
Ciamm with his head in statu quo,
aiming dreadful blows with his
fist at some unseen person behind
Aim.
And every time he struck otrt in
this he screamed, “I’ll put a head
on yon after church. I'll go for
you, Bill Bullet, when I ketch you
alone! Let go o’ my hair I tell
you, or I’ll mash your nose,” etc.,
etc. The deacon, who came run
ning up, thought, the boy had the
nightmare and was talking in his
sleep, and old Mrs. Jones in the
pew in front screamed for the doc
tor, under the impression that
Ciamm, junior, was involved in a
ser.es of frightful convulsions,
while Bullet’s boy sat up at the
end of his pew looking as solemn
as if the sermon had made a deep
impression on him.
Finaly, the sexton took out his
jack-knife and sawed off enough
of Mr. Clamm's hair to release
fiim, and then diagged him out
into the vestibule, while the vic
tim kept glancing around at Bui
let's boy, and shaking his fist at
that urchin as if to indicate that
he cherished deadly designs upon
young Bullet. The contest, how
•ver, has been averted by an
explanation, and we were glad to
see, on Thursday, young Ciamm
playing hop scotch with Bullet's
boy, in apparent forgetfulness of
the sorrows of the sanctuary.
The Salary Gkab History—The
Baltimore Sun's correspondent
telegraphs from Washington some
interesting particulars regarding
back salaries since the formation
of the government. He says:
The secretary of the Senate, in
obedience to an order of the body,
has already commenced gathering
all the attainable information on
this subject from the foundation
of the government down to date,
which will be laid before Senators
when the bill comes up so as to
assist them in forming a proper
judgment. It seems that there
have been six instances in the his
tory of the government where
Congress has voted to itself back !
pay with the executive approval. I
Ihe first act on the subject was
passed Septemper 22, 17St>, pro j
vided for seven months back pay,
and was approved by George !
W ashington, the pay being small
both for the men and the times,
lliv second was passed March It*, i
I
1816, gave twelve mo.’s back pay,
was approved by James Madison
under similar circumstances. The
third act was passed December 1,
1817, gave two months back pay,
and was approved by Janies
Monroe. The fourth was passed
August 16, 1856, gave seventeen
months back pay, and was ap
proved by Franklin Pierce. The
fifth was passed July 28, 1866,
gave sixteen months back pay,
and Was approved by Andrew
Johnson. The sixth act was pass
ed March 3, 1873, and was the
biggest haul of all, giving twenty
four months back pay, and was
approved by V. S- Grant. This
last act was the only one of tl.e
series which increased the salary
of the President who signed it.
While the House was discussing
back pay the Senate was consid
ering the financial problem.
“Maim, what du ye think Sal
told Ned Bobbles last night when
he was sparking her?” “Shut up,
child! what are you talking aboui?
£ No, but I hearn her, I did. She
told Ned Bobbles last nigntshe
kinder felt .” “ Hush, you
little rascal! Hush, or I’il take
your skin off” and poor Sallie
looked as red as a boiled lobster.
“Oh, get out, Sal, I will tejl! She
told Ned Bobbios she kinder felt
skcered tu deth ?nd tickled tu.”
A Titusville paper says: ‘A man
called at one of our shoe stores
yesterday and vainly essayed to
get on either number 11,12 or 13
shoes. The store-keeper then sug
gested that he should put on a
thiner pair of stockings and try on
the box.’

only in the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and durin. the
suspension of regulations pertaining thereto. Their association to this extent makes
them more attentive to personal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boy.
higher feelings of honor, for they dread the opinion of girls who scoff at meanness
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes Hem
more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and intellectual

Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one of
the leading educators of the State, and

stitutions,
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air, good water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenfy miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From the Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent. Principal, is a ripe schel
ar and experienced teacher.
From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to our people that no bet
ter school can be bad than this. Here
