An awkward man was upon a jury m
Maine recently. The case in Court in
yoked a claim for tponcy for buildup a
cellar, and the number of perches of
stone used were specified. But this awk
ward man, as it chanced, knew some"
thing by experience about budding stone
walls, and this little item was not quite
clear to him. So when the jury went
out, he took his pencil and quietly ci
phered a httle while at the table, and
then, iu the most matter-of-fact way,
told his fellow-jurors that, as he made it,
there was enough stone put into those
cellar walls to fill the cellar completely
up and have some three or four perches
of stone left, and he was puzzled to know
where they put their potatoes utid gar
den sass.
A Profane Report.
When Messrs. Eldridge and Young,
of Georgia, closed the debite on the re
port of the Orcdit Mobilier Coramitee,
Mr. Ritchie, of Maryland, offered a res
olution censuring all the members im
plicated in the dirty transaction—Ames,
Bingham, Brooks, Dawes, Kelley, and
Garfield. Mr. Bingham indignantly ob
jected to the introduction of the resolu
tion, to whom Mr. Ritchie replied with
the pat quotation :
>iffn roguo o'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion ot tlio law. ’
The Ohioman profanely retorted, -‘You
are a damned fool.’’ ’lhe members were
called to order and ihe House adjourned.
If anybody should ask Robert Toombs
what lie thought ot the behavior cf the
Credit Mobilier miserables, he might be
pardoned for exclaiming : “Sir, it fa
tigues the indignation !’’ Had it been
in°the Book of Fate that he should live
to call the roll cf his slaves in the shad
ow of Bunker Hill monument, he might
| have searched the menial throng in vain
f, r meaner slaves than these. —N. i.

Election Facts.
A correspondent of the Charleston
News says : “The returns of the popular
votes In all the States for President, last
November, are in, and show some facts
of great significance. Grant's majority
of the vote actually polled is over 700,
000, the largest ever received by a Pres
idential candidate. But when the vote
is examined these figures melt into noth
ingness. The analysis demonstrates that
the election went by default, and that
Grant is a minority President. His aga
grQgate vote in round numbers is 3,500,
000. The number of citizens entitled
to vote, according to the census of 1870,
is, 8,300,000. Allowing for two years'
increase, the figures show that 5,000.
000 legal voters did not vote for Grant—
a majority against him of fully 1,500,
000. This opposition is composed only .
of those who voted for Greeley, O’Conor
and Black, and (hose who wore not well
enough satisfied with either of the can
didates in the field to go to the polls.—
Mr. Grant has no reason, therefore, to
put on the airs of an autocrat, nor is the
Republican party in the impregnable
position of its most zealous partisans.
The other interesting revelations of
the complete returns are, that nearly half
a million of Democrats who voted in
previous elections did not vote for Hor
ace Greeley. Charles O’Conor was
supported by but 28,000 of these. The
remainder stayed at homo ir. the sulks.
There is food for study in these fig-.
U’es.”
Here is a true dog story, from the
Troy (N. Y.) T : mcs :
A family down town having a false
grate in one of the rooms of the house,
placed some i*ed paper behind it to give
the effect of fire. One of tlie coldest
days tli!3 winter the dog belonging to
the household came in from out of doors,
and seeing the paper in the grate delib
erately walked up to it and laid down be
fore it, curled up in the best way to re
ceive the glowing he at as it came from
the fire. lie remained motionless,for a
few minutes ; feeling no warmth he raised
his head and looked over his shoulder at
rv ' *” * y . 1 hr» arose
and carefully applied his nose to tlie
grate and smelt of it. It was as coll as
ice. With a lock of the most supreme
disgust, his tail curled down between his
legs, every hair on his body saying, “I m
sold,” the dog trotted out of the room,
not even deigning to cast a lock at the
puty in the room who had watched his
actions and laughed so heartily at his
misfortunes. That dog had reason as
well as instinct.
The election of lion. A. 11. Stephens
to the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, and the nomination of ex-Gover
nor English, of Conneticut, for election
to that body this spring, are events upon
which the country may be congratulated.
They are both statesmen —a class of men
whom the results of the late war have
too long kept in private life. “The cank
ers of a long peace’’ are nothing to the
cankers of a long war. The country
will improve as we get farther and far
ther from ihe war.

Boys, Listen to This.
True as the Gospel is the following, said by
Rohert Collyer, of Chicago:
“It is true that the working, successful men
ot to-day were one poor, industrous, self-re.
liant boys. And the same thing will be re
peated for, fr< m the ranks of the hard-work
ing, enconornical, temperance and persever
ing boys of to-day, will emennte the progres
sive, prominent men of the future.
“Every mtn doing any sort of work in

and had to fight his way to his place. Not
one of them, ns I can ascertain, was a rich
man’s son, and had a good time when he was
a hoy. All boys should grow as strong as a
steel bar, fighting their way on to an educa
tion, and when they are ready, plunge into
life with that traditional half doll ar and a
little bundle tied up in a red handkerchief, as
I have known great men to start. I tell you
that in five and twenty years, when most of us

Growing Old.
The pathos of the following Vi 11 justify its
publication :
All! Pad is growing ol J, John,
Mis eyes are getting dim,
And years have on his shoulders laid,
A heavy weight for him ;
But von and I are young Mid hale,
And ouch a stalwart man.
And wo must make iiis load as light
And easy as we can.
He used to take tho brunt; John,
At cradle and the plnir,
AnJ enrned our porridge l>y th» sweat,*]]
That trickled from his brow :
Yet never heard wo him dotnplain,
Wliat*or his toil might bo,
Nor wanted e'er a welcome scat,
Upon his solid knee.
But when our boy-strength came, John
And sturdy grew each limb,
lie brought us to tlio yello v field,
To share the toil with him ;
But ho wont forth in the swath,
Tossing'aside the grain,
Just like til a plow that heaves tho soil,
Or the ship that shears tho main.
Now wa must lea l the van, John,
Thro’ weather foul and fair,
And let tho old min read and dose,
And tilt his easy chair ;
And he’ll not mind i», John, you know
At eve, to talk it o’er,
Those brav6 old tales of British times,
Os Gran'dad and the war.
1 heard you speak of Ma'ra, John,
’Tis gospel what yop say,
That caring for tho like of us,
lias turned her head so gray;
Yet, John, I do remember well,
When neighbors called her vain,
AnJ when her hair was long, and like
A gleaming sheaf of grain !
Her lips were cherry-red, John,
Her check was round and fair,
And like a ripened peach it swelled,
Against her wavy hair.
Her step fell lightly as tho leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all day, busy at tlie wheel
She sang to you and me.
She bad a buxom arm, John,
That wielded well tho rod,
When’er with wilful stops cur feet,
The path fnrbiden trod ;
But to tlie heaven of her eye,
We never looked in vain,
And ever more our yielding cry!
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John,
And little heeci we'”3ay"fiv any,
Her fading ch"ok and hair ;
Ah ! when beneath hor faithful breast,
The tides no long stir,
’Tis then, John, that we most shall fael
We nan no friend likf. iier.
Sure there can be no harm, John,
Thqs speaking softly o'er
These blessed names of those c er long,
Shall welcome tis no more.
Nay ! hide it not, for why should'st thou
An honest tear disown ?
The heart, one day, will lighter be,
Remembering it has flown.
For Dad is growing oi l. John,
His eves are getting dim ;
And ma‘m is treading softly down
The descent with him :
But you and I fire young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as we can.

X'rnet from the “4 Fathers and 4 Mothers
of the Revolutiona Text-Book of Ameri

Recollections of Eddie Kushun,
nv ArOTtU E. CART.
Little drops of Wisdom,
Little grains of Sense,
Jerk onr punv intellects
From paths of ignorance.
Education is the office hoy of civilization.—
I thrust this little sentence upon the cold
charities of an unfeeling world as a compan
ion-piece to “Procrastination is the thief of
time.!’ Should it meet with the same applause
my humble efforts will not bo unrewarded.—
It is my desire to utter some truth that shall
live in the hearts of my onntrvmen. It is
easy enough for me to utter the truth, but it
kiils it to abreviate, condence, and pare it
down so as to occupy such little, insignificant,
narrow cnntractod tenements.
Knowledge and education is usually regard
ed as one. So is a Christian and a member
of the church; but there is often a marked
difference. Marked both" in this world and
the next. Toat a man can he educated and
not know much, is a truth self-evident proba
bly to most ofm v readers. Education is only
knowledge, when it is proper and embraces
Wisdom, jiaibraoing Wisdom may seem Tery
improper, but the old girl is not embraced
enough tc hurt. She don’t allow every sim
, pleton to “laly-gag” around her. When you
see a fellow sparking Wi-4 m you can caku-
Lue there is something of him besides hair-oil
j and a neck-tic.
The term Education has several significa
tions. To the boisterous bare-footed young
| Cicero, bawling along to reboot, it means
No. 21
Reading, Riling and Rithulctlc. To the young
Mips toiling up the hill of Science, it mean.
Bustles, Worsted-work and German. To tho
young Soph’more howling in collogiate hall,
it means Soorates, Demonthenea— and Me
Rut to us in the upper walks of life, who are
treading along the Fifth Avenuo of tho Sci
ences, Education is tho kindling wood than
lights the fires of our immortal genius nnd
stems us on to glory. It is the Sampson who.
breaks tbe bands that bind us to tho clods of
earth, and bids u, soar and bump our heads
against the stars.
Education is tho un ler-pinning of society
the safety of the Nation. lam afraid Amor’
icans lose sight of this important truth, and
are placing too much reliance op thoir Cnn
; gressmon. When our religious and education
al securities get sa low that wo have nothing
hut our representatives in Congress to offiff
os collateral, then good-bye to the American
nation. The seething waters of bankruptcy
will roll over us, and the blackness of desola
tion will settle down on our Liberties. If the
Israelites all perished in a barren wilderness
following their righteous law-maker, what
place wool I bo desolate onough for us to die
in if wo follow our unrighteous law-makers*
E like a second -hand furniture
dealer, takes tho mind aK rr%rod and fly
spseked with ignorance, sarid-pTipers and pol
ishes it up, and presents it to tho worli in all
its pristine loveliness. To those just starting
on the voyage of Life, young emigrants to
Success, Education is both captain and pilot.
He furnishes each with a pick-axe to dig the
shining chunks of Wisdom out of tho mines
of Knowledge, lie takes the young men
from the plow and places them in the pulpit;
and ho ought to put most of them back.
crywbere the voice ofElucation is heard
cheering us on.
Then let us leave all baser things,
, And soar, and—soar, and—soar;
To drink the waters of Wisdom’s springs.
That pour, and—pour, and—pour.
Sadness comes banging away at my heart
like a pile-driver, as I reflect upon the millions
of human beings whose minds are clothed in
ignorance. It makes every dormant feeling
in my bosom wake up and howl, when I think
of the unnumbered heathen groping in mental
darkness, without candles, civilization, taxes
nr any of our modern improvements. Think
how desolate end drear life mast be to them
with no newspapers, canvassing agents, or
chrnmo clubs, AVhat is borne without a chro
mo? or, rather, where is tho home without
half a dozen 1 Think of those benighted
heathen who never even blinked at a cromo,
or had their ears ring with the story ofTruth
ful George the boy who hatched the tree with
his little chopet. Under tho regenerating in
fluence of Education how many of those same
heathen minds might riso above tho common
Many them might "become ornaments Tb so
ciety, and take their place in the social world
as ear-rings, breast-pins, and braeelets.l
"Tho Rchool-houso is tiie menagerie nf Wis
dom. In our leisure moments we love to visit
these menageries and look upon tho animnlij
basking in the sunhght of Knowledge. Wa
love to gaze upon their countenances, and
speculate upon their future usefulness. Seated
side by side on the wooden benches we soo tho
pawnbrokers nnd Congressmen, negro min
strels and editors, pick-pockets and insurance'
agents, nil cutting their wisdom teeth, and"
getting ready when turned loose to feed upon
the world. And we love to turn from theso
sweet minings and commune with the keopers
of theso menageries ; those noble, self-sacrifi
cing professors whose business it is to stir up
tho animals; who get more pay for less
work than most any other class of people, t
do not allude to ten-I and! ir-a-week teachers,
but those dignitaries of the profession who
draw tbe pay and nrtke their subordinates do
the work.
Next to being clerk in a country store, there
is nothing so advantageous to a young man as
a goo! education. Is your ambition thirsting
for power? Then got knowledge ; for ‘Knowl
edge is power.’ Has your girl gone back on
you, and does your path way seem dark and
drear? Get knowledge; for‘Knowledge is a
light to your path. Arc you seeking for truth ?
Probably not. Asa genor.nl thing people*
don't look for it much. But if you are,, get*
knowledge; for “Knowledge is truth.’' There
are people in every community who have no
need of education. People who know every
thing. People who know too much. People
who keep the world moving by the energies
of their immortal intellects. Wisdom's sec
ond Lieutenants. Such people were cal
culated to fill the highest positions of earth l !
but they never fill them. They were created
for stars in the political, financial and com
mercial firmament, but they don't shine wor.h
a cent.
We had rather sec a 1 rue intellect,
Hobbling along on a nrnth :
Than to see a man without any
Knowing so orfclly much,
TflE zxn,
A tall slim fellow is in trouble. He
wants to know what character to assume
at a masquerade. A fashionable jour
nal advises him to braid his legs and go
as a whip-lash ; roll himself round and
round a dozen times and igo as a roll of
tape ; wrap himself in the national flag
and go as a barbers polo ; bristle his
hair up and go as a whitewash brush ,
swallow a few matblcs and go as a rat"
tlebox , put an insulator in his mouth
and go as a telegraph pole ; or walk on
his hands as a pair of scissors,
