Well, you gentlemen laugh and sneer as you please, But you wasn’t there to see; And I’ll bet big money every one of you Would a done Just like me. When tbev first came round I just aot my pins To stay with ’em right there. And the more t-.ey’d sing and pray, and plead, The more I’d cuss and swear. They kneeled right down in the muddy street, And stayed there, too, all day; But I told ’.m they’d sing their throats all raw, And pray their heads all gray, B- fore Id quit my legitimate biz; And then I’d take a drink, And smile and bow perlightto the old ones, And tin the yonng’ns a wink. Well, that don ■ . "11 ’nough for a week or two, But it was’ut -styHi’ me. And I begun to hunt for some other place. To make ’em iet me be. But, shaw. the more I’d think and look at it, The plainer I could see That soilin' whis'ky wasn’t just the thing For a strong chap like me. I ain’t soppy, or nothin’ of the sort, But some how or another, When I’d listen to their pleadin and prayin’, I’d think of my mother And—well. I’m rough, and pretty old in ein, Ard I ain’t wise nor smart, And I don’t go much on the sympathetic, But then I'ye got a heart. And so I caved—quit square on the spot, I couldn’t stand the storm; And now, since I’m out, and none the worse off, B’m dead bent on reform. No, sir, gentleman, you don’t know how it was, For you wasn't there to see, And I'll bet big money every one of yon Would a done just like me. Vanderbilt. The wfuli.li of the Vanderbilt family has been variously estimated, and the re’ ce me if the Commodore himself has admitted of little else than mere conjecture on this point. There is a general opinion, however,among those who are in position to judge most correctly that the wealth vested in Commodore Vanderbilt exceeds one hundred millions of dollars, and a prominent member of the family re cently sad that the “old man” was wo th more than that sum. This vast it si was acquired by Cornelius Vaiivtc: hilt- t rough his own efforts, .-Hurting early in life without capital or inffu ..co. ITis parents were poor, and his first money was earned in conveying people to and fro in a row boat between New York and Staten Island. He made a large amount of money in steamboating, but the great bulk of S is wealth has been acquired n railroad combinations mid iu the manipulation ot railroad stocks. He is and has been all Ins life a very re markable man. His self-reliance and pluck are as natural with him as a drawing breath, and his will and pur pose indomitable. A man of sue!) tremendous mental force has he been that he has moved forward to the ac complish; mint of bis objects with a power tts irresistible as one of his steamboats. His one purpose in life has been the acquisition of money. To tins end he lias trained his mental and physical resources with the great est care He has made of himself a machine that has always obeyed the ■ e juirements of his intellect, and wherever he has struck it has been witn telling force and effect. He has always drank moderately and lived egularly, taking just the requisite amount of exercise always. Smoking an i whist-playing are the only indul gences which he has permitted him self to any considerable degree. Evsrv lay he is to lie seen driving on the mid with a stump of a cigar between s Lett), and until within a year past he lias had every evening some of his cronies, in for a rubber at whist and to talk horse, a subject at which he to v, r tires. Latterly, however, his ev iiiogs have been passed very quiet ly. He has always been a strict man of business, kept his own counsel, and admitted or known no partners. He never allows the plea of affection or charity to interfere with his business matters. Appeals to his sympathy have about as much effect as a straw forced under the wheels of a locomo tive. He has been well, active and in the harm ss all his life, and has never tired or weakened. He was 80 years of age last month, and his 60 odd years of canstant bard work show that ne has had one of the strongest phys ic and constitutions ever given to a man. —New York Graphic. it is said that General Grant is iu favor of decorating the graves of the Unmn and Confederate dead ruke, and That General S eridan is opto :edto it These two soldiers be ior.g to oiff unt schools.

Tobacco Smoke Good for the Teeth- It is only fair on tobacco to point out that it is gradually clearing itself from many of the serious charges brought against it. It has been per sistently alleged that among other ill effects (beside death and madness) produced by tobacco is destruction of the teeth. This, it appeurs, ia entire ly a mistake. Instead of tobacco caus ing the teeth to decay, it is the best thing in the world for them, and those who wish to preserve their teeth should immediately take to smoking, if they have not already indulged in the habit. At a lecture on teeth, laughing gas, and electricity, as con nected with the dental surgery, de livered last month in London by Thos. Brown, the lecturer observed that it was populany considersd that the practice of smoking deteriorated the teeth. “There could,” he added, be no greater fallacy. It was true that it sometimes discolored the teeth, but it did not cause decay; on the contra ry, it prevented decay on account of the disinfectant properties of tobacco smoke.” This leaves the British Anti- Tobacco Association and other kin dred bodies in a very disagreeable position, for it destroys all confidence in the awful predictions they arc in the habit of uttering as to the fate of smokers. If tobacco does not injure the teetti, but in fact is good for them, perhaps it does not shorten life, but is favorable to longevity. Rest. How sweetly sounds the words to those who have toiled day after day through the week. From early dawn to darkening eve, toiling for the loved ones at home. Work, work, work. Press on though nurves and muscles can scarcely give motion to the weary limbs. It will not do to give up. Courage! another day has passed, another sun has set. A few more and the blessed day of rest, will give re sponse to the weary limbs. Renew the contest. Well done. The week is past the Sabbath dawns. “There is rest for the weary.” Tho dun clcuds of adversity are forgotten, for around the wife and children gather, and fa ther and mother are made happy. The sun mounts up; the Sabbath bell calls tho children to Sunday school. Leaving father and mother to enjoy the peaceful home, they run away to the house of Cod, and tLere learn what things the Lord has done. Still higher mounts the sun. And now the riuging bells from every steeple peel the call to prayer. Old men and ma trons, young men and maidens go forth with quiet steps and thankful hearts to hear the Story of the Cross. The eveuiug comes on. Happy, peace ful groups gather on the verandas, in shade and qaitt seats, till dewy eve lets fall the curtian and gents it. with niyriad stars. Rest! The man of la bor is refreshed; his muscles brawny have again been strongly knit. With thanks to the Great First Cause, the Lord of All, he retires to his humble bed, and sleep, sweet restorer,"draws the string of every care. Renewed, refreshed and strengthened, morning finds him ready to renew life’s battle. Good Advice. —Young friend be ware of the gaming tables, avoid all such places of resort; you can find re creations and amusements elsewhere. Be on tha look out against the seduc tive influences of these associations. Walk on the other side of the street to avoid them. None of them prom ise you respectability, health, wealth or happiness, They do rot improve your happiness. They do not improve your education, your morals or your intellect. They are positively dan gerous to your peace and happiness, here and hereafter. They peril the dearest interest of your immortal soul. We are told that “the way of the transgressor is hard,” and we are also told that “religion was never designed to make our pleasure ’ess.” It is your privilege and your duty to make you a good name, and an unsullied char acter “Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all these things shall be added unto you.” It is said, that at a funeral in Howland, a elegyman from Maxfield officiated, and before the corpse had been taken to the grave made out a bill of $5 for services rendered, and gave it into the hands of a constable -for collection. A little American lad who had just commenced reading newspapers asked his father if the word “H' n.,” prefixed to the name of a member of Congress, meant * honest” Bgy A proposition is before the French Assembly to impose a tax of twenty cents ou men’s hats. $2.50 A YEAR A Schoolboy’s Composition on Chickens. Most usually it takes two eggs for to make a chicken, because, if you will put eighteen eggs under a hen, only about nine of ’em will hatch. A hen is so careless and stubborn that most always she wont cover her eggs all over, and so they get chilled; then they are everlastingly gone up. Also, the rats will rob a nest; so ‘that if you get half of a brood, it is a tol’able crop, and you should be thankful. Then, I think it stands to reason this ought to prove what I said at first. A hen which has got a young family is more crosser than anything else which can be compared wit her under the sun in the United States. There never was a thing which can ruffle its bath ers up backwards and rage worse than a fool hen. A turkey gobbler will do it, but he don’t go oft' into a red-hot passion about it and make a fool of hisself, and get enemies all for noth ing, like a hen would. A chicken in the spring-time, which was put to hatch in March, if it has good luck and don’t die erf the pip, or gaps, or cholery-morbus or get drowuded or something, will be big enough to sell to the restaurant about in June. They will fetch $G a dozen, and a chicken is more popular whore it is a spring chicken than if it would live long enough to get as tough as Mntbuse ler. They say that a spring chicken is a luxurious thing for to broil and mix up with toast. That’s what I’ve heard. Once in a great while we have spring chickens for dinner. Then we have the preacher, or else some com pauy, and I eat at the second-handed table, and I can always tell by the savory smell going on in the kitchen that broiled chicken ought to be good enough for anybody. But if I can’t get something to eat more substantial ler than a smell, I always fall back on roast beef. A chicken don’t gather shrewdness like a owl, and it never picks up any wisdom. It is not a tal ented thing like a fox. If you can show me a more stupider thing*than a hen, I wish you would trot her out. The rooster has got what little sente there ever was in the family. It is one of the worst difficulties with a chicken that she dou’t know its place. She won’t stay in the barn-yard, where she belongs, any way you can fix it. If your mother has gotflower beds iu the front yard—and it’s a mighty curious mother which ain’t— every last chicken on the place will get iu to scratch them, if it takes till next Christmas; and then good-by to the hyacinthes, and crocuses, and jer ryranthens’ and nil that kind of fool ishness. Then is the time that you want to have two jackets on, or else to forget to come home early, if it was you that left the lattice gate open. Anyhow, that’s my advice. Also, a lien is hard-hearted and cruel, and will kill every little stray chicken who tries to associate with her own brood, and this is a good enough reason why she is like a step mother. The First Napoleon. —A writer says the household manners of Napoleon were those of a boor. “When the es tablished hour for dicing at Malma sion was six o'clock, aud, though, eti quette forbade any one to approach the table before the head of the house, ho often failed to appear before seven, eight, or ten o’clock. A chicken or somp other articlewas placed on the spit every fifteen minutes by order of the cook, who knew well the Labits of the emperor. The table manners of Napoleon may have been those of tb6 horo; they were certainly anything but those of the gentleman. He com pleted the process of cramming—it would scarcely be called eating—in six or seven minutes, as a rule. Ig noring the use of knives aud forks as regarded his own plate, he did not stop there, but ‘helped himself with his fingers from the dishes nearest him, and dipped bis bread in the gravy. t&F Fashionable Milliner—You'll have the flower on the left side of the bonnet, of course, madam ?” Fashion able lady—“Well—er no! The fact is, there’s a pillar on the left side of my pew in church, so that only the the right side of my bead is seen by the congregation. Of course, I could change mv pew!” Fashionable lady’s husband—“ Ya—-as. Or even the church, you know, ’f necessary.” (Fashionable milliner considers the point.)— Punch. “Why, Uncle Dewlittle, bow do you d< w ? C<mie in and rest a little while, dew. How does Hannah dew*, and what is she dewing? Dew tell as all the news. Come, dew sit down to tho tab’e, and dew as we dew; help yourself; dew talk now, and dew not make me dew all the talking, for I shant dew it, Now, dew dew some thing dew.”
