Rules lor Playing Onto it Organ Into a
Meeting.
BY P. BENSON, PR.
When the preacher cttma in and neels
down in the pnolpit. pool out all the stop*
pers. That’s wot the stoppers is for.
When a him is gave out to be pung, play
over the whnal to>>n before singin, but be
sure to play it so they can’t tell whether its
that toon or some other toon. It will arnooze
the people to guess.
When you play the intevloods, sumtimes
pull all the stoppers out, and sumtimes pull
.them all iti. The stoppers is made to pull
out and in.
Play the interloods about twice as long
as the toon. The interloods is the best
part of the mousic, and should be the
longest.
Play from the interloods into the toon
without letting them know when the tune
begins. This will teach them to mind thare
bizness.
Always play the interloods faster or
slower than the toon. This will keep ic
from bein the same time as the toon.
If the preafchor gives out 5 virces play 4.
Too many viroes is teejus.
Doorin tho sermon go out of the church,
and com back in time for the next toon.
This will show you doan’t mean to be hard
on the preacher by havin tew menuy list
enin to him at wunst
Learn a Trade.
The Cleveland Ledger gives the following
sound advice;
No fact is truer than that the man who
is posessed of a good trade, well learned
and who uses his resources to their best
advantage, in master of his destiny. The
demand for skillful workers is well-nigh
inexhaustible, the field of employment
nearly illimitable, and the supply almost
continually inadequate, at least in this coun
try. And the growth of the demand is more
rapidly than that of the supply in most of
the industrial pursuits.
In this broad land of ours, with its vast
resources and its vigorous strides in devel
opment, no man who workp at any useful
employment need bo idle; no man need feel
dependent upon the favor or the indulgence,
or the charity of any other mao. Possessed
of a trade, the young man in America has
a capital for wfiich he can find ample and
readv investment at all times, which will
pay him the highest interest, and which
will grow in value and availability with
each day of its use. We know, therefore,
no better or more profitable sermon to
preach to the youth of the land than one
that has been selected for the text : Learn a
trade, and learn it well. It is a talisman of
powmr and independence, upon which you
may always rely, and which will never fail
you.
Protect your Eyesight.
Milton’s blindness was tho result of over
work and dyspepsia. One of the most emi
nent American divines, having,for some
time been compelled to forego the pleasure
of reading, spent thousands of dollars in
value, and lost years of time in consequence
of getting up several hours before sunrise,
and studying by artificial light. His eyes
never got well.
Multitudes of men and women have made
their eves weak lor life by the too free use
of the evesight, reading small prinr, and
doing fine sewing. In view of thepe things,
it to obeerve the following rules in
the use of the eyes :
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
on a very stormy day.
Never sleeD so that on waking the eyes
6hall open on the light of a window.
Do not use the eyesight bv light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light or window or door.
It is best to have the light fall from above
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Too much light creates a glaro. and pains
aod confuses the 6ight. The moment you
are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that
moment cease, and talk, walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and earth green, it
would seem that the oeiling should be of a
blue tinge, the carpet gre?n, and the
walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively prompt
ed to rub the eyes, that moment cease using
them. . t , ,
If the eyelids are glued together on wak
ing up, do not .forcibly open them, but
apply the saliva with the finger—it is the
speediest diiuthn in the world—and then
wash your hands and face in warm water.
Winding WaUltes.
Unsuitable keys injure watches more than
is supposed. If thay slip off-which is not
uncommon-the whole wheel-work receives
a iar from the recoil, which gives the gear
ing a shock which has a tendency to weaken
the whale, and perhaps prepare the most
delicate part* for premature breakage. A
bra«B k' Tis beet. It should be well S.ted.
A soft steel pipe is * be be3t ’ end a
hard steel.ons worst of all.
Lord Brougham.
Lord Brongham, however, was not sole
ly, or principally, celebrated as a lawyer.
11* has been styled as “probably the hug
est human phenomenon of our century,” be
cause he is alleged to b »ve united in hiin
selt the energv and varied* powers of a
hundred different men; because be wrote
on et ucation, history, bi graphy, interna
tionai, constitutional, and common law,
science, natural theology, every branch of
politics, the oratory of Greece and Korm*.
ami even composed a romance ; because be
was at onoe a man of science, a mathema
tician, a biographer, a historian, a forcible
and constant public speaker, a popular lead
er, a statesman, a lawyer.aod a judge ; and
jec.’Urto, above ail, in the exercise of the
venous qualities which such pursuits re
quired, he maintained many distinct per*
aonaiities, and because the identity of the
individual playing oo many diverse parts
scarcely ever appeared.
Notwithstanding political economy and
experience have alike shown that worldly
grentnoss and worldly prosperity are best
secured-by an assiduous devotion to a sin
gle special pursuit, and that absolute pers
lection in any one thing can only in this
•way be arrived at, yet the world, regarding
the very limited comprehensiveness of the
human mind, has always,looked with awe
upou one who has attempted to transcend
these intellectual limits and become a uni
versal genius. This endeavor has never
met with more than partial success. Os
Lord Brougham’s multiform productions, it
is not too much, perhaps, to say, that his
novel is now almost unknown; that his
histories are unread ; that his biographies,
owing to their inexactness and personal
hias, are consulted only hy the curious in
search of racy reading ; that his theological
arguments fail to convince the searcher af
ter truth ; that his scientific essays are
a marvel only to the uninitiated ; that, hut
few of the studied periods of his once fam
ous orations now srart the blood or fire the
ambition of (he reader; that his treatiseson
education, politics, oratory, and law have
had their day ; in short, that no one of his
literary works will ever become a classic :
while even his judicial decisions are regard
ed as only doubtful authorities. During his
long public "life, covering more than half a
century, no man has been so extravagantly
praised, so thoroughly despised, so basely
defamed, so unceasingly ridiculed ; no one
has been more severely criticised ; no one
has had his faults so often and so unspar
ingly exposed ; and yet no public man has,
apparently, been actuated by nobler mo
tives or accomplished more general good
than Lord B:ougham.
Too much of his youth had been engross
ed in the alluring pursuit of “general
knowledge,” to the neglect, as he himself
intimates, of wholesome professional drudg
ery. He could not submit to a vigorous
application to those tiresome technicalities
of the law, an acquaintance with which he
affected to despise so much in other lawyers.
It would seem that he failed in that other
half of an advocate, which comprises a
thorough preparation of his cases, a careful
study of the facts, a critical survey and ar
rangement of the authorities, and a dexter
ous presentation of such as*are favorable;
a skillful examination in chief, and a pene
trating and judicious cross-examination.
Such is the foundation upon which alone
can he reared the elegant superstructure of
brilliant oratory and dazzling rhetoric.
These arduous but essential preliminaries
afford few opportunities for display, and go
for little with the outer world; without a
close attention to them, however, no endur
ing fame as a lawyer can be secured. Al
though Lord Brougham had a ready memo
ry, unusual resources of knowledge from
which to draw ; although he was indomita
blv persevering and indefatigably industri
ous, and had, in addition, a powerful con
stitution. enabling him to undergo untold
labor, yet he had no moderation. He was
impetuous and impatient of detail. He
jumped at inferences; and, seizing and
dwelling upon a prominent argument, one
apparently sufficient to oover the whole
case, he would exhaust that to the neglect
of other equally, if not more, important
(eatures of hb subject. There was thus a
lack of finish, a want of thoroughness, an
incompleteness about all that he did. He
had an uncommon amount ot energy and
industry but he was destitute of judgment;
a most needful requisite in a lawyer, hav
ing in view, not only his own personal ben
efit and reputation, but also the interests of
his clients. Asa politician, h° was 1
ed to the “bellua anceps,” the elephant in
battle, often more formidable to his friends
than to his foes. His deficiency in tact,
good judgment, and sound sense, character
ized ail his actions, while his inaccuracy
materially impairs the value of his writ
ings.
It must be borne in mind that he was
never heart and soul a lawyer; that law
was little else than the thread upon which
he hung his varinus fancies and his dearer
pursuits. A great man he assuredly was;
a great philanthropist, and earnest ref inn
er of abuses, but not by any means worthy
to be classed with the greatest lawyers of
the age.
Asa speaker, he rather commanded than
persuaded his audience; he seemed rather
to be giving orders, than to be striving to
convince; and when he descended to an
- appeal at all, it was the intellect, not the
feelings, which he addressed. The enthu
siasm which he felt, and which he plainly
showed that he felt in any subject which
he advocated, inspired his hearers. His
manner was fierce, and his declamation
overwhelming. He was a master of irony
and invective. Alth iugb he was a’capital
mimic, and could modulate his rough voice
to a sfft and pleasant strain, yet hi«
will long be remembered. He certainly
did not, in his younger years, have the mor
tification of talking, iike Burke, to sleeping
or drowsy benches; for, had Ire failed to
command the attention of his audience from
the dullness of his subject, or the plainness
of his manners, he would Have started them
from :he deepest slumbers by his stentorian
tones.

FttiutlnK, Apoplciy.
When a man is asleep, his pulse beats and
his lungs play, bur he is without sense, and
you cun easily wake him i p.
If a person "faints,” he, to, if without
sense but he has uo Ipusc and docs not
breaths.
Apoplexy m between tho two ; the heart
beats, the lungs play as in Kleep, nml there
is no sense, as in a fainting fit, but you can’t
shake the man back to iite.
In sleep, the face is natural.
In a fainting fit, it has the pailor of
death.
In apoplexy, it is swollen, turgid and
fairly livid.
If a m«t» is lot trim alone, nature
will wake him up as soon as he has got
sleep enough.
When a faints, nil that is needed
is to lay him down flat on the fl >or and he
will "come to” in double quick time. He
fainted because the heart trissed a beat,
failed for an instant, failed for only once to
send the proper amount of blood to the
brain. If you place the patient in a hori
zontal position, lay him on his back, it does
uot require much f >roo of the heart to send
tho blood on a fever to the head ; but if you
set a man up, the blood has to be shot
upward to the head, and this requires much
more force; yet in nine canes out of ten if
a per.son faints and fulls to the floor the first
thing done is to run to him and set him up,
or place him on a chair.
In apoplexy, as there is too much blood
in the head, every one can see that the bast
position is to sot a man up, and the blood
naturally tends downward, as much so as
water will come out of a bottle when turned
upside down, if the o< rk is out.
If, then, n man is merely asleep, let him
alone for the lace is natural.
If a man has fainted, lay him flat on his
back, for his face is deadly pale.
If a man is apoplectic, set him in a chair,
because the face is turgid, swollen, livid,
with its excess of blood.
A Singular Modr of* Telling -Che Hour.
An exchange pives the following singular
method of telling the time of day or night,
which we copy tor the benefit of those who
wish to try the experiment;
"Seat yourself at a table. Attach a piece
of metal (say a shilling) to a thread. Hav
ing placed your elbow on the table, hold
the thread between the thumb and fore
finger, and allow 7 the shilling to hang in tho
centre of a glass tumbler. The pulse will
immediately eause the shilling to vibrate
like a pendulum and the vibrations will
increase until the shilling strikes the side
of the glass ; and supposing the time of the
experiment to be at tho hour of seven or
half past ceven, the pendulum will strike
the glass seven times, and then lose its
momentum and return to the center ; if you
hold the thread a sufficient length of time,
the effect will be repeated; but not until a
sufficient length of time has elapsed to con
vince you that the experiment is complete.
We need not add that the thread must be
held with a steady hand, otherwise the
vibrating motion would be counteracted.
At whatever hour of the day or night the
experiment is made, the coincidence will be
the same.
Women Should Head Newspaper*.
It is a great mistake in female education
to keep a young la ly’s time and attention
devoted only to the fashionable literature of
the day. If you would qualify her for con
versation, you must give her something to
talk about, give her education in the actual
world and its transpiring events. Urge her
to read the newspapers, and become famil
iar with the present character and improve
ments of oi r age. History is of some im
portance, but the past world is dead ; we
have nothing to do with it. Odt thoughts
and our concerns should be for the present
world ; to know what it is and improve its
condition. Let her have an intelligent
opinion, and be able to sustain conversation
according to the mental, moral and reli
gious improvement of our times.
Fleeting Character of Military Glory.
"Os the ten thousand battles that hive
been fought; of all rtie fields fertilized with
carnage; of the banners that have been
bathed in blood ; of the warriors who had
hoped to have arisen from a field of con
quest to a glory as bright and as durable as
the stars; how few that continue long to
interest mankind ! The victory of to-day
is reversed by the defeat of to-morrow ; the
star of military glory, rising like a meteor,
like a meteor has fallen ; disgrace and dis
aster hang on the heels of conquest and
renown ; victor and presently
pass away to oblivion, and the world rolls
on in its course, with the loss onlv of so
many lives and so much treasure.— Webster.
“Posterity’’ At a Discount.
During the late rebellion, General Jubal
A. Early,-commanding the First Army
Corps of A N. V. (C. S. A.), while in the
valley of Virginia, one day heard an old
“vet” growling at a fearful rate about the
hardships he had to encounter, short rations,
etc., etc., and took occasion to pitch into
him for his want of manliness, etc., and in
the course of his remarks said: "Remember,
you are not fighting for yourself, but for
posterity.” "Is that so?” demandod the
soldier, in tones of astonishment. "Os
course it is,” said old .lube. "Well, by
thunder; if I bed knowed that I woul I
never enlisted. Posterity never did nothing
for me. and she can fight her owu battles.”
