, AdVertiser publishes for the first
time the following lines written by
the Earl of Derby in the fly leaf of
a translation of Homer, which tiib
Earl sent to Gen Lee :
“The grand old Hard who never dies
Receive him in our English tongue—
. send thee, hilt With weeping eyes
The storv that he sung.
Thy Troy is fallen—thy deal land
Is marred beneath ttie spoiler's heel,
I cannot trust my trembling hand
To write the things 1 feel.
Old Realm o: teuis —but let her bear
This blaaon to die end ol time:
‘No hatioh rose so White n!id lair,
None tell so pure of crime.’
The widow's moan .the orphan’s wail
Are round thee, but in truth be strong,
Eternal right, thougti all things fail,
Can never be made wrong!”
And the Eail adds:
An angel’s mouth- -an angel’s tongue,
Not Homer's could alone for me
Hymn fordi the great Confederate South,
Virginia first— then Lee!
Tlie Trouble an<l ifs lienlcdyi
Ame.iican society is suffering
a change. The period of steady
I abits lias gone by, and the age of
hifalutin is at band. The chief
characteristics of the times are an
overestimate of money and an
underestimate of character. Rough
gold lias little value, while highly
burnished gilt is greatly prized.
The men ate overstimulated by a
[ huge business without capital, and.
| didst forty) Walk oh the ragged
edge of apoplexy, w hile the women
are Overstimulated in the imagin
ation by a corrupt literature which
lias lowered the moral tone of the
whole Community.
Everywhere there exists an insa
tialde appetite for mere sensation
alism. Even science and religion
must startle in order to attract
attention- Plain English does riot
s titfl'y any more than old fashioned
morality. The old adage which
lel is us it is better to live in a
wooden Inittse and have plenty than
to life itt it tifiek house and !>■*
pinched, lias been turned upside
do vn all I the preference given t I
die brown stone and constant
j duns.
It is pitiful to gee sCiencC ill the
parti I'ftloied puntahioliS o| l lit- gen
ei a I idly; bill the srb-ntist Of tin
day, instead ol confining himself to
his legitimate spbeie, must deeds
hiing the Littering raid of bis
newly di-fiot-eitfd facts t*J Ifeilr
against tile oak' ll doot' of the
ctuucli, and pound away until a
crowd gathers to see what will
come ot it all. If honairows his
labors ttf glfieial theories, or to
theories of evolution, he lives amid
the applause of the few and dies
uh kind led, uncoffined and unknown,
l’u escape this terrible fate lie
saddles the bobby horse of indue
lion and rides rough shod over the
faiths and convictions of centuries,
sending dismay into the camp of the
unlearned and inviting everybody
j to assemble quickly to witness the
explosion and the general conflagra
i lion. Of all fnen our scientists
i should carefully confine themselves
jto their several departments of
j research. It is not theirs to reckon
;i he religious consequences of a
discovery, but to make new dis
; eoveries. It is the business ol the
; theologian to make inductions from
| facts ascertained, and thereby to
i modify the religious creeds of the
people. Tie new school of scion
ttsts, however, seems determined
to leave the theologian nothing 1 1
do, but assumes the right to judge
not only the facts of the physical
but the faiths ol the Sp'Titual
| world.
It is still more pitiful to ifote the
tendency to sensational bniloonry
which is creeping into the pulpit.
If a minister desires to be popular,
and has the requisite amount of
shrewdness and brass, lie begins
by a display of rhetorical pyrotech
nics which altiact the common eye,
and holds his own so long as lie
has stretigtli and agility to make
his audience laugh at his piclur
: esqne gymnastics. So morbid lias
the taste of the people become that
they actually require a large
amount of spiritual buncombe in
older to keep up then interest
Plain scripture seems to be 11 it,
stale and unpri fital le, and they de
maud the pepper and salt of ecceu
trie phraseology, affd seem to be
most delighted when the mcachet
is most a ranting actor, tearing the
air with frantic gesticulations and
j making sport of things aforetime
jln Id sacred. Crowds wail on the
ministrations of the clerical come
dian who bmlestfucs religion, while
the pewfs of the reverend expounder
of Holy Writ remain empty and
unrented. Sober-minded men soon
er or later become disgusted with
"COMING EVENTS CASf TIIEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
(lie general farce; but while look
ing upon the current methods of
dealing with religion ha the equiv
alent of the Counterfeit currency
that is afloat feel potvcrless against
tie 1 strong tide of public opinion.
The trouble begins with Ameri
can education and homes. School
girls who should confine their at
tention to short do.lies and arith
metic are fed with the exciting
pabulum of false literature, and
are unconsciously stimulated by a
styltj of novel which undermines
moral nature by unduly heating
the imagination- The fiction of
the day hides under rover of an
interesting story theories of domes
tic life which honeycombs society,
and these theoiies are absorber!
into the moral nature ol the young
to such an extent that we are
i almost daily compelled to record
extravagances which show that
I tliti coni,don sfittsc of the commit
j nity is on the ebb. Home educa
tion is entirely neglected, anti that
I delicate seltsS of honor Which should
be as blight and its dangeroils to
touch rudely as the edge of a razor,
is giving way to a certain way
wardness and recklessness, the log
deal result of which will be ill
assorted marriages, domestic tin
happiness and a crop of divorces
twenty years from date. All chiv
alric relations between the sexes
are fast lading out, and American
society is being given to the con
trol of boys and girls in their teens
Th°y are the false queens and
knights of the obess-board, while
ambitions mammas are convenient
pawns, occupying a position in tlie
baekgionnet, and never appearing
unless crtlled fdr.
Every one knows that this rio'it
ical, social and moral bankruptcy
i comes from the want of early
| training, and history is not
backward in illustrating the conse
quences of general corruption,

f Tlie Ideal Farmer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, iii liis
essay*, thus portrays the glory ol
the farmer:
* The glory of the farmer is that in
the division of labor.it is his part to
create. All the trades re<t at btsl
on his punitive authority. He stands
close to nature, lie obtains tiom the
earth the bread and the meat. Ihe
food which Was not lie Call-es to be.
flie first farmer was the first man

possession mid use of hihd. Men do
not like haul woik, but every man
has an exceptional respect lor tiillage,
and the feeling that this is the orig
inal csllihg of ins race, that lie him
self is on 1 v excused from it by some
circumstances which made him dele
ga e it for a lime toother Lands.—
ll he had not some skill which recom
mended him to the farmer,some pro
duel for which the farmer will give
liis corn, he must himself return
into liis due place among the plan
ters, And the prolession lias in all
eyes this old charm,as standli g near
est to God, the first cause, ihe
beautv of nature, the tianquility and
innoeeiict ot the countryman, liis
independence and liis pleasing arts —
the caie ot bees, of pe 111 try, of sheep,
ol cows, the dairy, the care of luty,
of fruits, of orchards and lyre*t*,atid
the rtacli >n of these on tile wotktuan
in giving him strengih and dignity,-
like the face and manners of nature,
all men acknowledge. All men keep
tlie farm in feserve as an asylum,
where in case of mischance to hide
their poverty,or a Solitude,if they do
not succeed in society. And who
knows how many giauces ol reuioise

MIC. TADDLES* MISTAKE.
A • Dirt ford Ciibbage Party
and a New Haven Train.
Mr Taddtes, of Elm street, com
municates only under pledge of the
most profound secrecy a little
aflair of which he was the victim
i the other night, and therefore it
wouldn’t be fair to divulge. A
sense of journalistic honor,however,
| docs not seem to prohibit the men
tion ol the fad that Mr. T. is very
fond of cribbage, vnd that card
p'aving is strict ly tabooed on the
Tuddlbs premises, as bis worthy
spouse is a very strict church
member. Therefore, Mr. T. is com
| polled to s"ek more congenial
scenes in which to Indulge in his
j favorite game. The other day liis
I old friend, Tom 8., invited him to
join him that evening in a pleas
ant little card party, and Mr. Tud
| dies consented, though with some
misgivings as to how he should
: account to his estimable lady for
his absence, or contrive to break
through her rule that lie shall al
ways be safe at home not later
than nilte;
The result of liis cogitations (Vas
the concoction ol a story to he
palmed off on liis wife that he was
going to New Haven that after
noon on professional business,
which might itetadi him until the
midnight train. He joined Tom at
Tea. and ntierwaid had a glorious
evening at cribbage, staiting lor
home so ns to arrive there about
ten minutes after the 'rain frditi
New Haven was due at the Asylum
street depot. The partner of liis
bosom sympathized with him as he
dilated on the tedionsness of a
night jottrfiey By rail, tvldle the
artful Paddles chuckled quietly as
lie reflected on tlie success of liis
little trick.
A day or two afterwaids Mr.
laddies came lioliic to It’ll anti
f und Mrs. T silting in the rocking
chair, with the evening paper in
her hand, and with lathei a pecul
iar expression of countenance which
Paddies could not quite nnder
! stand, l ilt which seemed to he in
dieittiVo Of tbiii- ilii/ig in the wind.
So lie sßnntt’ivd over toward the
window, plunged his hands atvay
down into his pockets and whis
tled sofilv to himself >is he wonder
ed what the deuce was up, anyway.
Mr*. T. watched him for a few mo
ments, and finally broke the silence
with the inquiry :
“Did jour New Haven hnsii.e.-s
prove satisfactory, my dear?”
Mr. T.—“ Yes. my dear, better
than I expected.”
Mrs. T.— (in a tone of freezing
politeness) “Very intricate, 1
jifvsufite, Sir, T?”
Mr. T.—“ Well, ye*, rather so,
my love. And by the win, how
fortunate it is that you women are
not icquired to bother yourselves
with business sflairs. It would be
such a trouble to understand them "
(Mr. T plunges liis hands still
deeper into liis pockets tlnd re
sumes liis whistling and thinking.)
Mis. T.— (very freezing now)—
“Yes, 1 suppose So All me,”
(with a sigh) “there are so very,
very many things we cannot quite
see through. For instance, the
evening paper says that on the
night you went to New Haven, the
midnight train up was flu boni
late,” (sudden stop of Mr. T.’s
whistle), “and yet, mv love, you
got home only ten minutes aftci
the time it was rightfully tine at
the depot. Must have (talked pretty
fast, Mr. T ! Hurrying yourself
that way will got you into trouble
one of these days, Mr. T. !”
We charitably drats the curtain
on the heart-rending scene as the
gentleman trie I to clear himself,
and only plunges deeper every
minute- Tad dies thinks now that
the news in the papers is of rather
too miscellaneous a character to he
fully appreciated in the family
circle, and vows that tin* next time
lie makes that kind of a New Haven
trip he will go round by way of the
depot and wait for that infernal
old train if lie had to stop out all

Pistol Practice in Washoe.
Yesterday afternoon, at a saloon
oil the Divide, some men were dis
cussing the shooting aflray which
occurred during the morning be
tween the tvVo brothers in law
' Fa 11 man and Ward, as mentioned
in another column. It was agleed
on all hands that it was shocking
bad Shooting—a disgrace to Wu
shoe. At least a Pioclie man ban
leicd a Comstock man, whom he
knew to be a good shot with the
pistol, to go out in his hack yard
with him and do some shooting,
just to show the “hoys” how ii
I should he done In the saloon was
a box of eggs, and what the l’io
cher proposed was that each sliobt
two eggs off the bare head of the
other at the distance id' ten paces,
the one missing to trhitt the. Crowd,
'l'lie Comstockel' was hound not to
he bluffed by a man from the other
end of the State, solo the hack
yard all hands adjourned. Each
man used his own six shooter-, 'l’lie
Comstocker first “busted” his egg
on the lop of the I’iocliet’s head,
which exploit was loudly applauded
by all present. It was then the
l’iocher’s turn to shoot, and tin egg
was produced K> be placed upon
i the head of the Comstocker, but
when lie lemovedhis hat there was
a greitt laugh, for the top of his
head was as smooth as a billiard
ball. For full ten minutes all
hands tried in vain to make an egg
stand on his head. It couldn't be
done. The Piocher then Limited
the Comstocker with having gone
into the arrangement, knowing
that lie was safe. The latter told
him to Set up his egg and it was
all tight—he was there. The I’io
cher went into the saloon and a
moment after came out with a
small handful of Hour which he
daubed upon the laid head of the
Comstocker,and then triumphantly
planted in it his egg, fell hack ten
steps and then knocked it off. The
! Cotnstoeker then told him to set up
! I is second egg and shoot at it, as
j he didn’t want to have his head
chalkid twice during the game.
I his was done, and the wreck of a
I -ecoiid fegg streamed over the Com
[ stock's pate. The Piocher now
stood out with his last egg
on his head. The Comstockeker
raised his pistol and tired.—
The Piochef bounded a yard into
the air and the egg bounded whole
from his head. “I’ve lost!” said
the Comstocker. "Lei nil come up
and drink Bj a slip I’ve put half
the width of my bullet through the
lop of his left ear!” and so it prov
ed upon measurement. — Virginia

* Girls, Don’t Be in a Hurry
to Marry.”
This is the advice we would give
girls generally: One of the pie
vailing opinions of the day is, that
it is a very difficult thing for wet
men to marry to advantage. Young
men are told that they can ntarrv
just ns well as they wish, and they
are heard at times to boast that
they w ill marry rich or not at all.
That women are placed at rather a
disadvantage in the match-making
business, we are frank to admit,
but it is principally due to tltti
fact that they are not sufficiently
in lependent, and are too “anxious,”
The advice we would give young
ladies is, to be in no linriy to mar
ry. Hotter never marry than to
be ill treated. We have seen old
maids whose enjoyment of life, and
whose usefulness to society far
exceeded many married women’s.
Indeed we have great respect for
one < t those free, open, energetic
old maids—from choice. The ca
pacity of a woman to take care of
bet self is too much underrated,
lias not. the reader i f this article
seen women who supported their
husbands and families? Seen them
buy clothes for the children, feed
the children, and even build houses
for them l live in, nil with their
own money? Indeed we know of
instances whete women of talent
ami energy have mairied men of
lazy and dissolute habits and have
lyl miserably poor lives, when if
they liad been left to tlmmselves,
they would, by thvir energy ami
talents; made comfortable livings
and a Competency besiJes. Who
ever knew a woman who’ worked
six days in a week, hilt what she
saved money in the end? How
many married women there are
who work hard tlntl are always
poor, when if they bait remained
single and depended on their own
exertions, and had no men to slip
port, their circumstances would
have been better! Many aid many
a good woman’s happiness, health
and prosperity is destroyed by
mat tying.
Now, we do not atlviso women
not to ffiarry when they can marry
well, but we do think they ought to
he very guarded,very choice in the
selection of a companion for life.
If they would all act on this princN
pie, there would he more happiness
in the world, and tlielf chances
would he better. Those “lords of
Creation" who now boast of their
power to marry whom they please,
would soon change 11/eif tune.
It would he a blessing to many
poor women if the matrimonial
knot could la- loosed. When-once
tied, it is difficult to get unloosed.
Women lose more by marrying, in
many instance*, than they gain. It,
is ttue there is some novelty about
the business which they all want to
test, but it is a very serious mat
ter, and they should be exceedingly
particular, lest they pay dearly—
nay. bitterly for the experiment.—

Bettek than Gold. — We often
hear little boy s telling of the won
ders (hey will do when they grow
to be men. They are looking and
longing tbr the time when they
shall be large enough to carry a
cane and wear a tallliat; and not
one of them will say he expects to
be it pi or than ; but every one in
tends to be rich. Now money is
voiy good in its place; but let me
ti II you, little buys, what is a

yo ft may be earning all the time
you are waiting to grow large
enough to earn a for*uno. The
Bible says ‘‘a good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and
loving favor better than silver or
gold ” A good name does not mean
a name for being the richest man
in town or for owning the largest
house. A good name is a name
for doing good deeds; a name for
wearing a pleasant face and carry
ing a cheerful heart; for always
doing right, no matter what we
may be. *
