Virtue and Intelligence—The Safeguards of Liberty.
“ WHITHER THOU GOEST, I
GOT
All through the moon-lit way we loitered,
Annette and I, with spirits light.
As ftom a schoolmate’s joyous wedding
I saw her home, one fair June night;
But sweetest moments are the fleetest.
Am! all too soon, that brief walk o er,
Within a porch of blossoming roses,
We lingered at her cottage door.
I knew ’twas late, and yet 1 tarried :
’Twas hard to tear myself away;
For, though her lips “good night” had whis
pered,
Somehow her eyes still hade me stay.
Her hand in mine was shyly nestled,
I slipped an arm beneath her shawl,
And on each dimpled cheek I kissed her
The maid I loved the best of all.
The household all were wrapped in slum-
Lcr *
I had no fear that they would hear
One word of all the vows I murmured
So softly in her listening ear;
No one could see us, for the roses
That shut the world out shut us in.
Ah, no! it’s just such precious moments
Whose memory makes all hearts akin.
How timidly I asked my darling
To name tor me the happy day,
When, from another merry wedding,
I, too, might lead a bride away!
I wondered I had dared to ask her
Until, in accents sweet and low,
Came from her lips the old new story,
“Whither thou goest, I will go.”
Thaijlear old porch, with all its roses,
Has long since fallen to decay ;
And we, who lingered in its shadow,
Together have grown old and gray.
The joys of earth, how frail and fleeting?
But, in that home beyond the skies,
We know that we shall love for ever,
For true love nevet. never dies 1
A Racy Stump Speech.
Friend* and Fellow citizen* of thi* conflict
uou* community: I’ve riz to give you a
warning, and make a political speech, and
tell you what I am going to talk about and
allude to. Now I would like to have you
pay particular attention, as the preacher
says, when the boys are flipping beans at
his nose.
I say that a crisis has arrived—the wheels
of government are stopped—the rudder is
unshipped—the boiler bursted —and we are
floating and the river rising. Our glorious
ship of state, that like a bob-tailed gander
has so peacefully glided adown the stream
of time, has bad its harmony disturbed and
is now drifting with fearful rapidity toward
the shoals and quicksands of disunion,
threatening to burst everything into flin
ders, and pick itself up in the end a gone
gosling. Hearken no longer, yc worthy
denizens of Goose Hollow, Terrapin Neck,
Possum Swamp, and adjacent regions, to
the siren voice that whispers in your ears
the too delusive sound of peace, peace.
Fur peace has sloped, and flowed to other
lands, or div to the bottom of the mighty
deep, or, in the emphatic language of Tc
cumphsorun:
‘Gone flickering through the frogs ol other
climes,
To aid the miser watch o’er his dimes.”
Or like the great Alexander, who, at the
battle of Hunker's Bill, in the agony of
despair frantically shrieked out; “O gravy!
peace has gone like my school boy days,
and I don’t care a button.” (He was a
whole boss and team, sure.)
Ladies and gentlemen: The great bird
of America has flown aloft, and, soaring on
the wings of the aurora borealis, is now
hovering high above the cloud-capped
peaks of the Rockygany mountains; and
when he shall have penetrated into the un
known regions of unlimited space, and
then shall have swooped down and lit upon
daddy’s wood-pile, I shall be led to ex
claim, in the language of Paul the hostler,
“Root, pork, or die!”
Fellow-citizens, and gals too: In our
halls of legislation, confusion reigns su
premest; rise up, then, like porkers in a
tatcr patch, and fall into ranks, sound the
toes n, bio .v the drum, and beat the tin
horn, until the startled echoes, reverberat
ing from lull-top to bill-top, and Irom
gopher-hill to gopher-hill, shall reach the
adamantine hills of New England, and the
ferruginous disporitions ot Missouri, and
the auriferous particles of California, to
prick up their ears, and, in whimpered ac
cents inquire, “What in thunder is out t
Fellow-citizens and the wimrain : I re
peat it, To your posts! and from the top of
Ozark mountain bid defiance to the whole
earth, by hollowing “Who’s afraid?’ in
such thundering tones, that, quaking with
fear, you will forget what danger is. Don
your rusty regimentals, wipe the flints of
your old guns, beat up your scythes and
make swords of them, put ou your hunting
shirts, and either save the nation or bust
My dear hearers, and the rest of the boys:
Time is critical, and every man that has
got a soul as big as the white ot a colored
person’s eve will fight, bleed and die for
his country. These arc the times you want
men in the councils of the nation that you
can depend on. That s me. Elect me to
Congress, and I’ll stick to you through thick
and thin, like a lean tick to a nigger s skin.
You all know me; I’ve been brought up
among you. Already, on the wings of top
lifted imagination, I fancy I can see you
marching up to the polls in solid phalanx,
and, with shouU that make the earth ring,
hurrah for Jim Smith, and come down on
my opponent like a thousand o’ brick on a
rotten plank.
But, my devoted constituency, I’m not
going to make an electioneering speech. I
would scorn the act from the lowest depths
of my watch-fob. Words are inadequate
to fully portray my feelings toward you,
and my love for office. All I ask is your
votes, and leave everything else with the
people. I conclude in the touching words
of that glorious old martyr in the wax
figure business: “Be virtuous and you will
be happy.”
“ I Have No Chance.”
Don’t say that, young man. You have
five chances on each hand. Then yon have
thirty-six, at least, in your head. Every
faculty you have will vote you into office,
if you only enfranchise it, and form a Con
federation between the freemen in your
brain and the freemen at the ends of your
arms..
Chances, plenty of them, fall under our
notice, if we have only eyes to sec them
and hands to pick them up.
The falling of an apple was the opportu
nity for Newton to solve the secret of the
skies.
A floating sea-weed, drifting by the ves
sel when the crew were uttering mutinous
threats, was the chance seized by Columbus
to pacify an incipient rebellion, and to in
spire his men with the promise of a new
confident and a new world of enterprise.
The picking up of a pin in a street of
Paris by a poor boy as he was going from
a great bank, saddened at the denial of his
application for a place, was the foundation
of the success and prosperity of one of the
queen cities of the world. That simple act,
illustrative of economical spirit asserting
itself over present grief, was observed from
the window ; and the lad and the refusal
were recalled at the same moment. Indus
try, patience and honesty did the rest.
A jumping tea-kettle lid is said to have
put the stream into that boy’s head who
gave us the great giant of modern industry.
A kite and a key in Franklin’s hands
wcrejthe grand-parents of our telegraph,
and of all the blessings of modern inven

A swinging lamp in the cathedral ol
Pisa, caught the eye of Galileo at eighteen
years of age, taught him the secret of the
pendulum, made many discoveries in as
tronomy and navigation possible, and gave
us the whole modern system of the accurate
measurement of time.
A Contrast.
A lad dined with me one day; he was
from twelve to fourteen years old. He had
a pug nose, red hair and a freckled face.
His poor coat was patched at the elbow, and
his pr>ckct-handkerchief was a cotton one,
and coarse at that. Aller he went away
the lady of the house said : “I like to enter
tain such company as that hid; he had such
beautiful manners.” At another time a wo
man left her son with me for a day, and I
took him with me to dine. His face was
very handsome. He had fine eyes, a fair
skin, and was very richly dressed. His
mother was a rich woman, and her son had
every advantage that wealth bestowed.
When the day was over a friend remarked :
“How relieved you must ieel!” I asked
why ? “He has such disagreeable manners.
He is only fit to be shut up in a pen with
wild animals.” “But that boy’s mother was
to blame,” you exclaim. Certainly, and so
are many of yours, and for this very reason
boys must take the making of their ‘places
and fortune’ in their own hands.
One tires of talking to motheis about their
duties, especially when they are more con
cerned about the spring jacket of their boys
than their manners. Then possibly many
of them say, as I heard one the other day :
“Oh, Johnnie will come out all right; it
will be time enough for fine manners ten
years hence.” An ill fruiting tree may be
grafted to bear good fruit, but one can al
ways detect the joining of the shocks.
Very much so it is with manners acquired
late in life; they have astuck-on appearance.
But if acquired in youth, taken in when the
body, mind and heart are especially active
and open to influences, they become “bred
in the bone,” and the man never loses their
controlling power. They become a part
and portion of the man, and of such a one
we say, “He is a perfect gentleman.” Boys
must learn to read and reflect more for
themselves. They should take more pride
in becoming the architects ot their own
fortune. The most successful men of the
present day aie those who have made them
selves such by their own individual efforts.
The Student and the Old Father,
—A student once went for advice to a pious
old man, and said to him, “Father, I love
much to hear about God and spiritual things,
but all the good I hear seems to go in at
one car and out at the other; I forget it so
soon, and this grieves me.” Then the uld
father said, "My son take this basket and
bring it to me full of water.” The student
obeyed; he took the basket and went to a
wide brook, and worked hard for a long
time, but he could get no water to stay in
the basket; as soon as it was full it became
empty again. Then at last he got tired, tor
he saw that all his labor was in vain ; so he
went back to the father and told him what
had happened, and how the water would
not remain in the basket. Then the father
said, “Give me the basket, and let me look
at it. And when he took the basket in his
hand, and had examined it, he said, “Now
sec, my son, you have not worked in vain ;
tine it is, indeed that no water has remain
ed in the basket, but it has washed it clean
and pure. So it is too with you, and every
one who hears and reads God’s word with
diligence and prayer; he may not retain
everything, but still it purifies his mind, and
makes him more fit for heaven.
The Two Roads.
It was New Year’s night. An aged man
was standing at a window. He mournfully
raised his eyes toward the deep blue sky,
where the stars were floating like white
lilies on the surface of a calm, clear lake.
Then he cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself were
moving toward their inevitable goal—the
tomb. Already he had passed sixty of the
stages that lead to it, and he had brought
from his journey nothing but errors and
remorse. His health was destroyed, his
mind unfurnished, his heart sorrowful, and
his old age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up in a vision
before him, and he recalled the solemn mo
ment when his father bad placed him at
the entrance of two roads, one leading into
a peaceful, sunny land, covered with a fer
tile harvest, and resounding with soft,
sweet songs ; while the other conducted the
wanderer into a deep, dark cave, whence
there was no issue, where poison was flow
ing instead of water, and where serpents
crawled.
He looked toward the sky, and cried out,
in his anguish: “O, youth, return ! O, my
father, place me once mot e at the cross
way of life, that I may choose the better
road!” But the days of his youth had
passed away, and his parents were with the
departed. lie saw wandering lights float
over dark marshes and disappear, and said,
•‘Such were the days of my wasted life 1”
He saw a star shoot from the heavens and
vanish in darkness over the church-yard.
‘Behold an emblem of myself I” he ex
claimed ; and the sharp arrows of unavail
ing remorse struck him to the heart.
Then he remembered his early compan
ions, who had entered life with him, but
who, having trod the paths of virtue and
industry, were now happy and honored on
this New Year’s night. The clock in the
high church tower struck, and the sound,
falling on his ear, recalled the many tokens
of the love of his parents for him, their
erring son; the lessons they had taught
him; the prayers they had offered up in his
behalf. Overwhelmed by shame and grief*
he dared no longer look toward that heaven
where they dwelt. His darkened eyes
dropped tears, and with one despairing
effort he cried aloud: “Come back, my
early days! Come back !”
And his youth did return; for all this
had been but a dream, visiting his slumbers
on New Year's night. He was still young;
his errors were only a dream. He thanked
God fervently that time was still his own ;
that he had not yet entered the deep, dark
cavern, but that he was free to tread the
road leading where the peaceful harvests
wave.
Ye who still linger on the threshold of
life, doubting which path to choose, remem
ber that when years shall be passed, and
your feet shall stumble on the dark mount
ain, you will cry bitterly, but cry in vain,
“O, day? of my youth, return ! O, give me
back my early lite T
How to Get Along.—Don’t stop to tell
stories in business hours.
If you have a place of business, be found
there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting around
the stores and saloons.
Never “fool” in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, prompt
ness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of.
Do not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made tn a day by go
ing steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond.
Use your own brains rather than those of
others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
Young man, cut this out, and if there be
any folly in the argument, let us know.
Small farms make near neighbors ; they
make good roads; they make plenty of
good schools and churches ; there is more
money made in proportion to the labor ; j
less labor is wanted if everything is kept
neat ; less wages have to be paid for help;
less time is wasted ; more is raised to the
acre; besides, it is tilled better; there is
no watching of hired help ; the mind is not
kept In a worry, a stew, a fret, all the
time.

shall not lie brought up on the bottle. Look

’Tis the second blow that makes the fray.
Welcome is the best cheer.
When the will is ready the feet are light.
Where there is a will there is away.
What may be done at any time is never
done.
If we would have strong minds, we must
think: if we would have faithful hearts, wo
must love; if we would have vigorous mus
cles, we must lalwr. These three thought,
love, labor —include all that is valuable in
this life.
