Mars F.ph, I’s afeard you will think, sir,

An’ wants all the dogs to pay taxes —
Likewise all de drinks dat we get;
But Sol. says the whites owes de munny !
An’ Uey owns the sheep an’ de hogs,
An* gits all dar drinks by’ the bottle,
While we drinks around, an’ owns dogs !
He says, too. de big Constitution,
What Mars’ Washington made for de State,
Don't 'low for de State Legislator
To pitch in. an’ den ’scriminatc
On any one sort of the peoples ;
An’ ef drinks an’ dogs pay a tax
’Twill bust up dat whole Constitution,
An' ’scriminatc awful on blacks !
It ’pears like dar’s always new trubbles
A-brewin’ since niggers is free !

—-What the Idle Must Do.
MEN MUST OKT A LIVING —ItOAV IT USED TORE
Gt)T —THE OT.l) TYPICAL AMERICAN.
The evil of men hanging around the cities
waiting to be hired is one transplanted ftoin Eu
rope, where men move in their allotted grooves
from the cradle to the grave. The chief char*
acteristic of the true American lias always
been to find work of some kind, whether it
be the kind he is accustomed to or not. In
nine cases out of ten lie has often turned his
hand to three or four different callings during
his life. If he cannot find work in making
shoes, he will take to making trousers. If he
cannot find patients, as a physician, he will
enter the pulpit and cure those who are sick
in mind, and so on.
When the people landed at Plymouth they
did not wait for someone to employ them,
lmt took the initiative and became their own
masters iu developing agricultural resources
and in the construction of villages and towns.
When the Dutch came to New Amsterdam
they did not idly wait for a possible master,
tint, entered into the business of trading in
peltries and trapping for them. Further south
where the cavaliers landed there xvere no wait
ing for employer, but immediate breaking of
the ground from which they were to get their
livelihood, and not only livelihood but wealth.
Men must get a living out of the soil and
the nearer they get to it the better, and this
is what they have done from the beginning
of our history until the last few years. There
are unemployed lands all over the country
which would employ our idle population fifty
times over, and give them a good living, if
they had not lost tlieir American habit of
looking out for themselves and seeking it.
There are men in New York to-day who
say that they would gladly work for a dollar
a day, and yet within thirty miles of that city
—a good day’s walk—fanners are paying two
dollars a day for harvest hands, which per
haps is higher for unskilled labor than is paid
elsewhere in the whole world. There is un
cultivated land in the neighborhood of Wash
ington in every direction, which only waits for
willing arms to furnish bread and comfort to
a multitude of people.
Thus, it is not work that is wanting, but
what is required to bring the hands and the
work together. To do this the man must ac
quire the habit of the typical American, who
always a committee of ways and means unto
himself in doubling the difficult cape of every
situation in which he might find himself. As
it is now. he is growing as helpless as the Eu
ropean, who can do only the one thing which
he has been taught, and who is unable to
take a single step without a master.— Wash

A Phenomenal Negro.
There is now in this city one of the most
remarkable specimens of humanity that has
been known to inhabit the earth since the
days of Adam, lie is colored, and goes by
the name of “Dr. George Thomas,” and
seems to have literal control of his entire phy
sical nature, being able by the simple exer
cise of his will, as it were, to change at plea
sure the location of the machinery of his body ;
besides which he is possessed of muscle al
most the consistency of iron, which he is ca
pable of developing to a remarkable degree.
For instance, he takes a solid bar of iron
about three inches in circumference and some
three or four feet in length, holding it in one
hand, bends it by striking it repeatedly across
liis disengaged arm, the blows being suffi
ciently vigorous to break the arm of an ordi
nary man. but which do not seem to have the
slightest effect upon his own, the muscles of
which are as hard as the iron itself. He then
; straightens the bent bar in the same manner.
He asks you to feel the pulse in his wrist, and
it beats with the same regularity and power of
that of an ordinary mortal, but. by a sudden
but almost imperceptible movement of the
muscle of the arm, the pulsation apparently
ceases altogether, but is in reality removed
from its original position, lly the exertion
of the same power it is then restored at plea
sure to its proper place, lie can also remove
his ribs from the side to the abdominal region,
where they can be distinctly felt, and return
them to their proper place at will; while by
the same power the heart is changed from the
l.‘l't to the right side of the body. Two of
>ur physicians, we learn, examined this re
markable specimen of humanity, and were as
tonished at the extraordinary developments
which resulted from a practical test of the
wonderful powers of the man. One of the
physicians was asked to place his ear to the
region of the heart, and its beatings were reg
ular and distinctly noted, lmt suddenly there
was an entire cessation of the throbbing, and
on the instant his companion, who had his
ear on the right side of the body, exclaimed
that lie could then detect the beating of his
heart on that side.— Wilmiutjtou (A'. C.)Star.

“Now, deacon. I've just one word to say.
I can't bear your preaching! I get no good.
There's so much in it that I don’t want, that
1 grow lean on it. I lose my time and pains.”
”Mr. Bunnell, come in here. There's my
cow I'liankful—she can teach you theology !”
“ A cow teach me theology ! What do
you mean ?*’
“Now see! I have just thrown her a fork
ful of hay. Just watch her. There now !
She has found a stick —you know sticks will
into the hay—and see how she tosses it
to one side and leaves it, and goes on to eat
what is good. There again ! She has found
a burdock, and she throws it to one side and
goes on eating. And there ! She does not
relish that bunch of daisies, and she leaves
them, and—goes on eating. Before morning
she will clear the manger of all, save a few
sticks and weeds, and she will give milk.—
There'B milk in that hay. and she knows how
to get it out, albeit there may be now and
then a stick or a weed which she leaves.—
But if she refused to cat, and spent the time
in scolding about the fodder, she, too, would
grow lean,’ and my milk would be dried up.
lust so with our preaching. Let the old cow
reach j nn. Get all the good you can out of
it. and leave the rest. You will find a great
deal of nourishment in it.”
Mr. Bunnell stood silent a moment, and
then turned away, saying, “Neighbor, that
old cow is no fool, at any rate.”— Dr. Dodd.
One Way to Get Rich.
Nothing is more easy than to grow rich.—
It is only to trust nobody, to befriend none,
to get all you can, and save all you get, to
stint yourself and everybody belonging to
you, to be the friend of no man and to have
no man for your friend, to heap interest upon
interest, cent upon cent, to be mean, miser
able and despised for some twenty cr thirty
years, and riches will come as sure as disease
and disappointment. And when pretty
nearly enough wealth which is collected, by
a disregard of all the charities of the human
heart, and at the expense of ever}’ enjoyment,
death comes to finish the work, the body is
buried in a hole, the heirs dance over it, and
the spirit goes where?— N. Y. Commercial
j Advertiser.
The Richmond Whig of last Wednes
day says: ‘Y'esterda}* afternoon at the
shooting gallery on Broad street, near 9th,
some extraordinary feats of marksmanship
were executed by Mr. John Hartman, Jr.,
the proprietor of the gallery, and Mr. W. 11.
Ralston. The latter named gentleman held
in his mouth a hard pine block, seven-eighths
of an inch thick, one and a third of an inch
wide, at a distance of about thirty feet,
standing face to face with Mr. Hartman, who
fired the shot and pierced the center of the
block, without the least injury to Mr. Ralston.
Several other fine shots, though full of risk,
were made, among which was shooting an
apple off the head and from the mouth, snuff
ing a candle, knocking ashes from a cigar
held in the mouth, backward shot with look*
ing-glass, and several others.’
Blunt But True.
There is said to be a young man in the
Missouri penitentiary whose parents at their
death, left him a fortune of $50,000. There
is where his parents made a fatal mistake.—
If they had taken the precaution to invest
that sum in a small dog, and shot him. and
then had simply left the young man a jack
plane or a wood saw, with printed instruc
tions how to use it, the chances are that,
instead of being in the penitentiary, be would
to-day have been gradually, but surely work
ing his way up to a handsome competency
and an honorable old age. But ever since
the days of Adam and Eve, parents have
made it a point to toil and struggle all tlieir
lives in order to realize a sufficient kum of
money to purchase, when they are Road and
gone, their sons each a first class through
ticket to the devil, and it is not much to be
wondered at that so many of their sons, rear
ed in vice and idleness, as too mahy of them
often are, have no higher ambition than to
invest tlieir inheritance in just that sort of
transportation.— Ex.
De Garden ob Eden.
“Alius blow'n' about the wall in Europe
whenever I comes around,” remarked Gard
ner to a colored crowd on the benches at the
Central Market.
“ It's a big wall and I likes to keep posted,’*
replied one who had been reading the news
to the rest.
“Charles llenry, look dis way for an hour
or so,’’ said the old man as he put down liis
whitewash brush. “Now, den, wliar was de

“ Woosh ! what I know 'bout dat garden ?”

Firm butter Without Ice.
In families, or where the dairy is small, a
<£ood plan to have butter cool and firm with
out ice, is b} r the process of evaporation, as

A cheap plan is to get a very large sized
porous earthen flower pot with an extra large
saucer. Half till the saucer with water, set
in it a trivet or light stand, such as is used
for holding hot irons will do, upon this set
your butter; over the whole invert the flower
pot. letting the top rim rest in and be cover
ed by the water, then close the hole in the
bottom of the flower-pot with a cork ; then
dash water over the flower-pot, and repeat
the process several times a da}', or whenever
it looks dry. If set in a cool place, or where
the wind can blow on it, it will rapidly evap
orate the water from the pot, and the butter
will be as firm and cool as if from an ice
house. — W. P. Hazard's Treatise on Butter.
The Kind of Religion we Want.
We want a religion that softens the step,
and tunes the voice to melody, and fills the
eye with sunshine, and checks the impatient
exclamation and harsh rebuke: a rel'mion
O
that is polite, deferential to superiors, courte
ous to inferiors and considerate to friends;
a religion that goes into the family, and keeps
the husband from being cross when dinner is
late, and keeps the wife from fretting when
the husband tracks the newly washed floor
with his muddy boots, and makes the hus
band mindful of the scraper and the door
mat ; keeps the mother patient when the baby
is cross, and amuses the children as well as
instructs them ; cares for the servants besides
paying them promptly, projects the honey
moon into the harvest-moon, and makes the
happy home like the Eastern fig-tree, bearing
in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender
blossom and the glory of the ripened fruit.
We want a religion that shall interpose be
tween the ruts and the gullies and rocks of
the highway of life and the sensitive souls
that are traveling over them.
A Tarboro’, X. C., negro, under trial for
larceny, made the following argument in his
own defense : “ Mister -ledge, I elare ’fore
God I never stoic nothin’ in my life,’cepten'
a pig-tail at hog-killin’ time from my ole mis
sus, when I was a boy, and. Mister -ledge. I
shall never forget my punishment. She sowed
that pig-tail to my breeches behind, an* when
company would come she would make me
come out and shake myself so dat tail would
switch, and, Mister -ledge, I felt so mean an’
got so tired of that pig-tail dat I never stole
nothin’ sense. I)at’s a fact.” Three years

Extensive Catfle Raising.
COLONEL WM. A. WAV’Oil’s CATTLE RANCH IN
WESTERN TEXAS.
Colonel Wm. A. Waugh, formerly of Dal
ton, Ga., but who, for the past 20 years, has
been engaged in stock raising in Western
Texas, is now* in this city, visiting his sister,
Mrs. Win. X. Moore. His ranch is about
seventy miles west of San Antonia, and he
has enclosed 35,000 acres, about liiiTf praifie
and tlie other half wood land, under good
fence and divided into three grand ranges
for his cattle. His herd is at present betweeen
50.000 and GO,OOO head ; his annual increase
being 12.000 and 14,000, and yearly sales
about the same number. He drives his cat
tie to Kansas in March or April. It takes
about seventy days to make tlie trip with a
drove.
He neither ploughs, nor “sows, nor gathers
! into barns,” but almost the entire work eon--
sists of making and repairing fences and
minding the cattle. His herds subsists en
tirely upon wild grass, as do all of his work
cattle and horses except five or six saddle
horses that he keeps at his residence for his
own use. He employs twenty men whose
business is to tend the cattle and hunt up the
estravs when they breakout. His premises
are in a compact body, and one man every
day rides around the entire circuit—about
35 miles—to see ii tlie fence is anywhere
down, or if any cattle have escaped. His
fences are built at a cost of £2OO a mile by
driving forks in the ground so as to support
the first, rail at about two feet high, and then
puts on double stakes and riders.
Col. Waugh is a happy man, and seems to
have enjoyed life fully amid the wild scenes
of Western Texas, lie married a Mexican'
lady and has an interesting family, his oldest
daughters being nearly grown. Until recent
ly his nearest neighbors were fifty
distant, but now a few families have crowd
ed up to within eight or ten miles of him.—

Saturday Night.
How many a kiss has been given; how
many a caress ; how many a kind word ; how
many a promise has been broken ; how many
a heart has been wrecked ; how many loved l
ones have been lowered into the narrow
chamber; bow many a babe has gone from
earth to heaven ; how main' a cradle or crib
stands silent, which last Saturday night held'
the rarest of all the treasures of the heart.
A week is a life ; a week is a history ; and
a week makes sorrow of gladness.
Go home to thy family, man of business,
go home heart-tearing wanderer; go home to
cheer what awaits you, wrong waif of life's
breaker; go home to those you love, and
give one night to the joys and comforts fast
flying by. Leave your books with complex
figures, your dirty work shop, your busy
store ; rest with those you love, for God'only
knows what the next Saturday night may
bring.
Forget the world of care and the battle of
life, which have furrowed the week, and
draw close the famil}- hearth. Saturday iias
awaited your coming with the bitterest tears
and silence. Go home to those you love,
and as you bask in the loved presence and*
meet to return the loved embrace of j-our
heart’s pets, strive to be a better man. and
to bless God for giving his weary children
so dear a stepping stone in the river to the
eternal Saturday night.
Piety and Paniers.
At a camp meeting in Xcw York State a
woman told how she did not obtain the bless
ing of sanctification until she had resolved
to wear no more articles of ornament and
gay attire. Finally, after she had even
thrown nwixy her wedding ring, the blessing
came. The Methodist says : “As she stood
in the audience, relating the great change
that had come over her, she displayed an
immense mass of false hair wound up on the
back of her head, upon which was mounted a
topknot of a hat, neither protection from sun
or cold, no ornamental to behold. She dis
closed beneath a half cast off shawl a corset
ed waist which was reduced to such diminu
tive proportions as to appear painfully abnor
mal. She supported paddings, puffings, pan
ier and pin-back, and a dress skirt sadly bc~
drabbled to a depth of the several inches
which it dragged upon the ground. As she
sat down after her testimony and an exhor
tation to erring sisters to renounce all pomp
and glory of the world, she plied her fan and
panted very like a ball room belle who had
waltzed 100 long and was dressed too tightlv
to breathe with ease. When at the close of
the meeting the woman walked away, she
had a parasol, a fan and a hj*mn book to.
hold in one hand, and the other employed in
gathering and holding the front breadth of
her skirt high enough to enable her to step,
while the limit of her mincing gait was deter
mined by her contracted pin-back and stilted
boot heels. And away she went, a sanctified,
woman !”
Where is Hell.
“I wish to ask you a question,” said .Mr..
Sharp to our young minister, as he met him
in the street. “I am anxious to know where
hell is. I have read the Bible geographies,
histories and other books, and I can’t find
out where it is exactly.” The young minis
ter, placing his hand on his shoulder, and)
looking earnestly into his eyes, replied
encouragingly : "My dear sir, do not be
discouraged; lam sure you will find out
after awhile. As for myself, T have made
no inquiries, and really don’t wish to know
where Dell is. About heaven f have thought?,,
and read and studied a great deal. I wish
to make that my home, and really don’t wish
to know where hell is. About heaven I-have*
thought, and read, and studied a great deal.
I wish to make that my home, and by the
grace of God I will. Ask me about heaven
and I can talk. I don’t know where hell is,
and you had better not find out.”
