' GREASE,
It may not bo poetical, but it is
nevertheless tt-uc, that tho path of life
would be exceedingly rough without tho
practical application of grease. The
milk of human kindness might bo term
ed tho oil of charity, not only tho chari
ty that giveth, but the charity that
forgiveth.
No machinery will work without oil.
Pour sand into tho wheels of cars or
steamboats, and witness the result; tho
sand must be removed, and oil put in
its place, before tho wheels will do their
duty.
Your watch stops. You find it tho
cause. Dust has worked its way in be
tween tho covers, and tho delicate
machinery is powerless. Clean and oil
it, and ail goes well again.
If we are so careful to remove tho
impediments, and to oil all the crea
tions of a man, how much more partic
ular we should be in attending to tho
wonderful works of God. Nothing on
earth requires so much oil as the na
ture of man, a nd it is the duty of every
one to U3O that smoothing power just as
often as it is required.
Tho head of a household needs to
have a good stock of the oil of patience
always on baud, for if the sand of dis
content and continual fault-finding is
ever poured into the ears of the mem
bers of the family, home will be far
from being the haven of rest it should
■ be. And a good example of kindness
and consideration is fouud in ono in
power, others are most apt to follow it.
Children aro like watches, tender
care and faithful attention only can
keep the dust from the delicate and
frail machinery ; nothing but the oil of
love and patience can make the wheels
run smoothly.
There arc so many difFerant kinds of
grease ueeded that wo shall attempt to
name but few. The merchant would
soon find his business in sad condition
did he not use the oils qf prompt pay
ment, system, firmness, and universal
kindness. Ho must be kind to thoso
in his employ, polite and obliging to
his patrons.
Tho lawyer must be oiled with a fee
before lie uses the oil of eloquence by
which he gains his client’s case.
The church is like the family, while
the power of mouey is needed for its
support, there arc many other oils re
quired to make tho institution an
agtt:eabfe one. The pastor must please
his people —he must preach good ser
mons —must neither bo too long nor
too short; he must be faithful in his at
tentions to his flock, prompt in his vis
its," at home when his parishioners call
on bin), and always on hand when con
solation or advice is ueeded.
The Sunday school is a combination
of families, aud while each family is
under tho care of a teacher, tho whole
comes under the direct control and su
pervision of the superintendent, whose
business it is to keep smooth the entire
flook of little ones and their teachers,
which must be at times a most difficult
matter, when all have different wishes
and tastes, even in religion. Theu, too, j
the financial affairs of tho school, come
before the superintendent. It is his
business, when the amount of money on
hand is not sufficient for • the demand,
to sec that the deficiency is filled, and
if not from other sources, it must come
from his own pocket. He perhaps
works hard all tho week, and Sunday
brings no rest to his weary brain and
body, for he is throughout the day
thinking about his charge, if he is not
actually at his labors. In truth, from
our personal observation, we are con
vinced that no two persons outside of
the household need more of the oil of
patience than the pastor of a church
and the suporiutondeut of a Sunday
school
But wO forgot the editor; and his
position is by no means au easy one to
fill. Fancy his feelings when flic hour

draws near for tho paper to bo ready
for tho eager public, and lie is told
that half the reporters were on a “bust”
last night, and most of tho editors aro
missing. In vain the “devil” calls for
copy, while tho editor searches his
brain for an idea, and uses his last re
sort, the scissors with but slight grati
fication. Then, too, at best, his is a
sorry life,.for he must gratify the fan
cies of all his readers or else the paper
is lost.
The .doctor, of course, requires a
good supply of oil among his medicines,
for illness will make almost any naturo
rough.
lie has not only tho trouble of his
patients to bear, but should ho bo so
unfortunate as to lose one, or any acci
dent should happen, ho must endure
tho fault-finding and accusations of the
friends) and thoso arc often quite as
hard to bear as the feeling which will
come : “Suppose I had done different
ly, she might now be alive.”
We have mentioned but a few eases
where oil is needed, but enough to show
that in every sphere of life, no matter
what our condition or position may be,
we all require judicious application
aud a bountiful supply of that most
useful of all rust removers—grease. —
Mary E. Lambert.
Who are to be Styled Gentlemen -
■ —An ludiana gentleman—you may see
that he was a gentleman from a remark
he made—was recently acquitted by a
sympathetic jury tor the murder of his
wife. Ho -ose, bowed to the twelve
good and true men who had treated him
so handsomely, and thinking that one
good turn deserved another, said, “Boys,
I reckon I can stand the soda water on
that.” Is there not a moral in this
pleasing incident, if wc would take the
trouble to sec it ? How many regard
the public acts of public functionaries’
exactly according to tho way they are
affected by them. Davy Crockett once
called a cotcnrperary in the Senate a
geutloman and a statesman, because,
said Davy, -‘he gave mo flio brandy
bottle and looked away when I poured
out my drink.” -There aro gentlemen
of good standing iu this city, whose
opinion of a third term depends entire
ly upon the way they are treated on a
given Sunday at Long Branch. Tne
great issues dependent upon such an
election siuk out of sight, in view of
the personal aspects of. the case. A
lady, not entirely disinterested in the
matter, once said, I think it would be a
.verygracefulcomplimeut to Mr. ,
to elect him again.” The interests of
thirty millions do not weigh very heavi
ly in view df that sound Democratic
maxim which enjoins the greatest good
of the greatest number—and it, has
long ago been said that the greatest
number is Number One.— Exchange.
■ m *• .
Poor Wretch. —A country paper of
last week says: “A lady in this city
tied her hubby's hands and feet, the
other day, just for fun, and then went
through his pockets for a certain billet
deux, and fouud it. His physician tells
him that his face won’t be badly scarred,
though ho may remain permanently
bald.”
Insult not misery, neither deride in
firmity, nor ridicule deformity; the first
shows inhumauity, the second folly, aud
the third pride.
Every period of life has its peculiar
prejudices. Whoever saw old age that
did not applaud tho past, and coudemn
the present times ?
Memory is a patient camel, bearing
lingo burdens over life’s sandy desert.
Intuition is a bird of paradise, drink
ing-in tho aroma of celestial flowers.
It may seem strange, but it is true,
that a man iu New York, perfectly
uneducated in art, took half a dozen
exquisite portraits in less than half an
hour. Wc must add, that lie hiiffsolf
| was soou afterwards taken for the theft.
TWO HOT,KARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
[Hannibal (Mo.)Courier.]
A WEEK WORTH HAVING.
A gentleman who resides a few miles
in the country announced liis intention
of coming to the city to get a few of
the necessaries of life. His good wife,
who evidently reads the papers and
knows what is going on, furnished her
“old man” with the following memo
randum, recognized the fact that ‘These
inen arc so stupid” and always forget
what they are sent after. But here is
the seasonable list of necessaries, which
though not in strictly clerkly form is
nevertheless to the point, and well cal
culated to make au impression on tho
mind :
Get a pound of tea.
And don’t forget to go to Brown’s
drug store aud get eight pouuds of cop
peras and a pint of carbolic acid.
Get a dollars worth of loaf sugar.
Bring a dozen lemons.
If you have a chance you had better
bring a bushel of lime.
We ought to have a poiiud of ground
mustard and some ginger.
Get a gallon.of coal oil and a demi
john of. whiskey. Bo particular and
don’t get them mixed—have the coal
oil put into the can, and tho whiskey
in the demijohn.
If you see a uice piece of calico you
might bring mb enough for a wrapper.
Go to Oryn,ski’s and get a bottle of
his blackberry syrup.
The flour Is out.
Bo careful and don’t drink any well
water while in town.
Be sure aud get a bottle of Hamlin’s
cholera cure.
We ought to have a dozen knives and
forks for the kitchen.
Go to McClcery’s and get a bottle of
Dr. McCabe’s blackberry brandy,
Don't bring any green thing home to
make the children sick.
Don't forget the coal oil aud the
demijohn, and be sure to keep thorn
separate.
Go to Oheover’s and get a bottle of
syrup of blackberry and ginger.
Get a [tint of cognac, brandy.
Keep away freui them lusty ponds
unless they are filled up.
. If you sec any good disinfectant i
bring some home.
Get a few pounds of crackers and
rice, and some oatmeal.
If you sec the doctor ask him to give
you a prescription to cure cholera.
Be careful and don’t brcakjtlie demi -
john.
Johnny needs a pair of shoes.
You had better call at the drug stores
aud see who has got the host cholera
medicine.
Now, don’t forget any of those things,
and keep this list in your hat where
you can find it.
Come home early.
About four o'clock yesterday after
noon the man with the memorandum
might have been scon going out Broad
way with all his horse could draw, his
roekaway resembling the hospital supply
train of an army corps. If the cholera
ever goes out in that direction it will
meet with a warm reception.
Rheumatism. —Those who arc suffer
ing from this distressing complaint
should give the following remedy a fair
trial. It is one used by an cmiucut
physician for many years with marked
success, and is now given to tho public
with tho assurance of its effectiveness.
We believe that poke-berries aro now
kept at the drugstores —if so, they can
bo had at any time. Take pokc-berrics
two ounces, best gin one pint. Let
stand long enough for tho spirits to ex
tract the virtue of the berry, then for
an adult the dose is a tablespoonful
three times a day. Thissimplo remedy
generally effects a complete euro in a
few weeks.

((HITE ENOUGH MARRIED.
An incident of crossing the plains in
the early days was told by a clever lady
at the breakfast tablo one morning at
Frisco. A Dutchman and his wife
traveled West, and arrived at Salt Lake,
where they halted for a few weeks. The
Mormons got around tho old Dutchman
and coaxed him to join their ranks. Af
ter retiring one night in their canvas
covered wagon bed, the good Dutchman
broke the matter to his better half, hint
ing to her that the Mormons told him
ho had better “stay, settle among deni,
and take soino more wives.” How
many vives you tinks you vfints ?” ask
ed Kathrina. Tho Dutchman thought
“fife more vould make a half doien al
ready whereupon the old wife got
down hor boddiee, and slipped from it
what the Dutchman called tho “prost
bonrd, vich vas‘ made from Vjsconsin
hickory vas very tough,” and she laid
the hickory fierce aud fast on tho old
man, who shuffled out of the wagon and
fell in a ditch. The old man got up,
said his “stomach it vas very cold, but
bis back it va*s very varm.” His wife
cried out “How many vitfes you tink
you vants now, ould fool ?” Buc the
Dutchman felt, and expressed that one
was enough.

REST AWHILE.
Coinc apart and rest awhile, men of
business; believe me, there is now and
then a profitable venture iu doing no
thing at all. In the power to piit busi
ness aside, and abiding now and then
in a perfect quiet, things sometimes
solve themselves, when we give them
that advantage, which refuses to come
clear for all our trying. We all know
how, by simply taking some perplexity
into tho deepest silence this side of
death—a good night’s sleep—we can
do better sometimes than if we eat up
and wrought at a task all night. When
Matthew Murray, of Leeds, wanted to
see Lis way through some "sore perplexi
ty in his inventions, and all other ef
forts were of no use, he rested day and
night from all noise, and all effort, ex
cept the effort an active man has to
keep himself quiet; and then the thing
he wanted would steal in and look at
him, and light on him, and stay as birds
used to light on the old hermits, no
more afraid of them than of the trees
under which they sat.
And, mothers, you too may care and
toil incessantly for your little ones, nev
er resting a moment in your devotion ;
aud then because you never do be quiet,
but enter into your very closet with a
little frock to mend, you shall never be
able to take the whole sunlight and
sum of your motherhood into your heart.
You will be so full of care about tlio
bread that perisheth as to miss tho
bread that cometh down from Heaven.
No person in the world needs so much
now and then to be, still, and open her
soul only to the silence, as an earnest,
energetic, whole-hearted mother. This
eternal activity is suro to run
at last into shallows, and cheat the soul
out of its just and right inheritance,
the presence of tho Heavenly Master,
the strength and joy which flow from
calm and secret fellowship with God.
A good joke is told on Henry Clews
—tho somewhat notonus baukor of
Wall street, and who formerly held the
position of financial agent of Georgia
aud Alabama while these States were
under the carpet-bag rule, as well as the
position of leading negotiator of the
railroad bonds of these States. The
joke ruus, that on the occasion of a
wine-drinking iu New York, lie took
occasion to impress the idea that he
was a self-made man. Clows being en
tirely bald-headed, a gentleman present
aptly propounded the query :
“Clews, you say you are a self-made
man ?”
“Yes, sir I claim that distinction.”
“Then, why iu the devil didn't you
' put ijome lmir on your head ?

CA El U OR AIA JUSTICE.
Old “Judge” i>. of Santa Cruz, Cal
ifornia, was ono of the oddest of tho
many oddities seen in early days in that
wonderful State. From early manhood
to its prime lie wandered over the wilds
of the Rocky Mountains, trapping and
hunting till he brought up in Califor
nia, shortly before tho occupancy of
that country by the United States forces
'—making a precarious living by bunt
ing and tanning the skins of bis game.
“Many a time,” said lie, “have I gone
bare till I could tan a buek skin to
make me a suit of clothes, and oftener
have I packed elk skins fifty miles to a
little trading port, where Stockton now
stands, to sell them for a dollar apiece,
to buy. me ammunition and groceries.”
About the time Colonel Bennett Riley
was Governor, old B located at
Santa Cruz, when being able to read
and write, and possessed of good “horse
sense,” he was elected Alcade, or Just
ice of the peace, which office be held to
the satisfaction of himself and the com
munity over which lie exercised juris
diction, till the catastrophe which
brought bis* judicial career to a close,and
which ho described in this way : “Well,
the windin’ up uv my Alcadcship was
this: “Ahalfbrc'-.d Vaquero tbar in
Santa Cruz tuck it into his head to git
jealous of his wife, and so he went off
and got rippin’ drunk on aqua ardiente
—come home, tied up his woman to the
bed-post by the hair of her head, and
just nat’rally whipped the life out of
her with his raw-hide lariat. Next
morning some of the neighbors come in
and found the greaser in bed, the bloody
lariat in his band, and the poor “mugcr”
dtad as a skinned elk. So they fotched
Mister Vaquero up before me, with all
the witnesses, and after bearin’ the case
patiently, I found him guilty and sen
tenced him to bo taken out into the
Plaza and shot, which was done accord
ingly. Then, to do things up squar’,
I sot down and wrote a letter to old
Ben Riley—military guv’nor, you know
—and told him the whole state of tho
case and submitted it for bis approval.
In about ten clays I got an answer back,
a just givin’ me h—l, saying I was on
ly a justice of tho peace and hadn’t no
jurisdiction iu capital cases nohow ;
that the Tuan should ha’ been tried be
fore a regular court and jury nDd the
sentence sent to him for approval be
fore it was executed, and a whole raft of
truck of that kind; and windin’ up by
saying he should deprive mo of my com
mission of Aleade. Well you bet I
wasn’t goiid to be backed down that
way, so I up and wrote him agin ; told
him the greaser was tuck red handed
in the act; that I decided tho case on
‘'principles of nat’ral justice,” and he
got just wluit he deserved; that if a
justice of the peace wasn’t to keep peace
iu his district, I’d like to know what
lie was thar for; and as to his taking
away my commission of Aleade, 1
didn’t want it nohow, and he might take
it aud bo d—d. And do you believe
it, lie never answered my letter ?”

A Dog Fight. —A couple of dogs
were having a dispute on the opposite
side of a slat fence, tho other morning,
when one of them, letting his valor
get the better of his discretion, plung
ed his head through the slats, in the
hope of nipping his antagonist. That
was where he made the mistake ; the
head went through nicely, but would
not pull back. The other pup, seeing
his foe in chancery, leisurely com
menced eating up the front part of his
head aud cars. There was “music in
the air” about that time, and tbo un
earthly yelping brought the juvenile
owner of that demoralized canine to the
rescue. Ho took in the situation at
ouce, and •freezing on to the dog’s tail,
and bracing himself against the fence,
ho pulled bis level best. For a mo
ment it was doubtful which would give
way first, the tail, the head, or the
picket; but, with a final surge, the boy
brought away tho pup minus the big
gest part of both cars. The first jump
the dog uutdc when loose was some
thing over twcuty feet, and, with a con
tinous wail of grief, he disappeared,
round the corner.
