to a white heat. ' ' ' '
"I must decline to bo annoyed any fur

to terminate."" '
"You and your desire may go to h 1."
"LeavD.thc room, leave, the' room; sir,

Tho Vickshurgpferald, in an WrtFefo
which has been haled to us for our opin
ion about it, has riiyed tho old inquiry
why tho fourth of larch was solected as
the daj. for ;'inaujtiog a newly elected
President j nhd onsfcrs that it is because
tho fourth of Mard recurs lesson a Sun
day thatj anj .othorjay, of tho week. ,
, Tho question catains au erroneous
stafcine,nt and tho Explanation 'contains
another. ' Thciburk of March was in no
way "selected" as ho day of inaugura
tldn and the fourtlibf March recurs just
US 01 tun as nnv otbr dav of tha vtufiV
neither taoro nor les.
Tho explanation theso two matters.
which como up ever four vcara a duz-
zlcs. is vcrv simplo. !
The Constitution dT tho United States.
which was pawcrj j0 nbO. was ratified bs
a sufBeicnt uuuilcr of States to bo put in
operation in th. tuidllo of 178S. In
September, lTfc't, the Congress of the
Confederation amounctd tho ratification
und provided tho tccevary steps for or
gaoizing under it, toVo taken in the fol-
owing order;
Elections wero toio annoinlcd in the
several States on thc'-Grat Weducsdav of
ho eo'uiog January " tho electors were
to assemble and cast heir votes for Presi
dent en "tho firt Wtdncsday in Febrt
ary," and "the first Wjdnesday in March"
was appointed for conmencing tho pro
ceeding under tho Constitution??
, The first Wednesday in March, 1789,
happened to be est the 1th of March j and
it was appointed for the commencement
of the new Govcrnmtnt, not from any
peculiarity of iu fourth day of March,
but as I be third in a series of Wcdues
day,tselccted at convenient monthly in-
ervah lor tho aevcral successive steps of
organizing the new Government.
TIicac were provisional arrangements,
which were supcresed by the subsisting
law, patscd by tho first Congress, in which
the Presidential term of ofiico was made
to date from the fourth of the March
succeeding an election ; thus fixing the
oilictal couimeneement of General Wash
ington's second term, it the close of four
years from the day designated for tho
commencement.
If there had been any purpose to avoid
Sundays, the obvious rulo would have
been to keep the original designation of
the first Wednesday iu March, instead of
altering it to the -lilt day of March, which
wa. probably done to make tho terra of
fotir years an equal and definite one, in
stead of tho variable one it would be, if
connttd from one Wednesday in March
to the corresponding Wednesday of the
fourth succc.-dig year.
There is thit further and settling ex-
fbination, that th ' l .!.
is not dtucrcot in any respect from any
other, aod from every day in the yer,
and in every year, in returning to the
days of the week in in variable order,
tn rough regular cycles.
Tho cycle is twenty-eight years, within
which rcriod every day of the year re
turns four times on each of the seven
days of tho week, and at the tweoty
eighth year all the days return to the
same order through the jear to the same
day of the week. The interval of the
four intermediate recurring are irregu
lar, and not divisible by four, o that an
inauguration day, which occurs every
fourth year, recurs to tho same day of tho
week and month only onco in twenty-eight-years.
There is a variation when the cycle of
twenty-eight years overlaps tho even
hundreds of years, the order is disturbed
to the extent of a day in the transition
from century to ccutury. Dut in the
transition every day suflers cquilly in tho
tho displacement, and is affected in the
Harop way in us recurrence ; anu ine
fourth of March changes its relative posi
tion just as all other daps in the year do,

! HE2VATOR ftPRAGUE'f LAST
SPEECH.
Senator Spraguo, pf Rhodo Island, has
again electrified the Scoato and the coun
try with another of: his pungent, stirring
and characteristic speeches, f ; His theme,
liko the pioneer effort, was tho deplorable
condition of tho country, taking tho whis
ky and tobacco tax as tho text upon which
to hinge his sparkling effusion. Although
on readiughis speech it is at times a little
difljtult to discern what ho is exactly driv
ing at, yet it must bo remembered that
one cf England's most remarkable men,
Sir Iloraco Walpole, was noted for occa
sional obscurity and ambiguity whilo giv
ing uttcraoct to noblo thoughts; Senator
Spraguo is the Walpole of the-Am erica o
Senate ; liko Walpole, he rarely addresses
tho Senate, but when he docs ho stirs up
the old fogies amazingly. 'As was said
of Walpole so wo may remark of Sprague
his life is devoted to the, gratification
of a fastidious and whimsical taste, and
in a measure to retailing and recording
the political gossip, and iashioeaile scan
dal of the day. Furthermore, and in con
tinuation of thij analogy, Sprague, like
Walpole, h placed in comfortable cireum
staaccs so far at worldly, possessions are
concerned; has' a taste for pictures,
prints, books, manuscripts, relics of an
tiquity, ftbjocts of vert a and a thousand
odds and endi ; in brief, ho is a sort of
gatherer up of unconsidered trifles, with
which he amuses himself and edifies his
friends. Moreover, Sprague, liko -Walpole,
to continue the figure, is famous
for his letters, the stylo being singularly
easy and appropriate take, for example,
the bru.-quo note addressed lately by Mr.
Spraguo to the oiitor of a lthodc Island
paper ; and as was said of Walpole, so it
may bo repeated of .Sprague j "the most
eccentric, the most artificial, the most fas
tidious, the most capricious of mcu," he
is nevertheless, just theman for tha times
and for the United States Senate as at
the prc.cnt constituted. Ho startles the
old dry bones of that body with a sudden
tthock that a telegraph operator sometimes
feels while manipulating his instrument
during a thunder storm. It he docs not
make them howl he makes them laugh,
which is evidence that at any rata ho en
lists their attcation a merit that Garrett
Davis' long winded harangues upon
blown-up topics cannot boast of. There
is ono thing, however, decidedly translu
cent in Senator Spraguo's last spread he
declares that he has not bought the Na
tional Intelligencer. Here he shows wis
dom. Thcro is no indication of vacilla
tion, no indication of imbecility of mind.
so far, as that operation is concerned. And
while his colleague, benator Anthony, at
upon Senator Sprague' stunning oratori
cal effort on Thursday hut, by pronounc
tner him, wun more truth than test, a
leader of finance, in the same breath in
which ho characterizes Colorado Jewett
as a diplomat, and Gcorg Francis Train
as a statesman, Spraguo himself subsides
amid the approving smiles of a galaxy of
tashionably atttred ladies in the benate
galleries. Spraguo does not liko Anthony.
Neither do we. Anthony is envious of
the advancing celebrity of his gamecock
colleague. Hence Anthony's wings are
likely to be clipped in the little bantam
State of Rhode Island, and Sprague will
crow louder than ever. Sprague is use
ful in tho Senate. Tho eigbtcen-year
year settlers in tnat body ore growing
mouldy hko old cheese. They are get
ting tough and corrupt. Their Indian
puddings, famous as -Sew hngland is for
making them, are bad jobs. They require
ventillation, and Senator Spraguo is jest
the ro&n with his pluck, brains and cash,
to giro them an airing. Ho can afford
to speak out. Ho wants no office. His
ambition is to save his country. Goon,
Senator Spraguo tho Walpolo of tho
American Senate you are doyelopins a
splendid mine of intellectual wealth, and
every patriot in the land will wish you
God-speed in your sublime efforts to re
form the corruptions and abuses that have
crept into tho high places in our political
tabernacle.

We don't know to what Journal tho credit
of this article belongs, but we vouch for
tho truth of its utterances, and adjure
young nen to study, and profit by it.
i 't Tho Kepublican party has created4 a
gigantio; aristocracy 'based on yourlahor
on bonds given and made exempt from
taxation. These bonds are simply your
notes. You must pay them. , They must
bo paid from your earnings. : To-day-fo-inorrow-next

men, all the whiia growing older, must

your claims binding you to toil mort

When the war begaa these did not ex

not legally exist as created: for they
bring wealth to those who hold them and
are not taxed. 'The Republicans legis

If you have a little farm, or team, or
trade, or a piece of property worth one
thousand dollars, on it you pay taxes.
This is right. If a rich man has a million
dollars invested in bonds, your notes
which he says you must pay, he pays no
taxes. He locks his bonds in a safe, rides
at hi pleasure and you pay the taxes, pay
iiiui micrcst in goiu, pay me principal,
work hard and live poor, ho does nothing
and grows richer, and in time dies and
leaves his children the very dollars you
earned,, which should have benefitted,
and made your children at least the equls
of his children.
Yonr labor undsr Republican laws, en
riches the aristocrat who produces noth
ing. He does not work tbo law compels
you to support him. The carpets on his
floors, the books in his library, the pic
tures on his walls, tho horss he drives,
the carriage he rides in. tho watch he
sports, tho diamonds on the neck of his
wife, the silks on her body, the laces next
her flesh, the beautiful dresses on his
children, you young men who work are
paying for. Your wife may wear a
chemisette of coarse linen or eotton; his
wife wears laces. Your children go with
bare feet, his with warm stockings and
pretty hoots, You cat from a pins board,
bo from mahogany. You have one course,
he a half dozen. You pay for these lux
uries, he does not. -
xr ;uu mm cwuieui wui mis inequality
of taxation; if you are willing to be
robbed to support the rich; if you are
willing to work, not to beautify your
homes, but tho homes of the bondhold
ers, then you are indeed unfit to be hus
bands, fathers or citizens of Americu.

Decreasino. Dr. Allen, of Massa
chusetts, is still contributing to a Lowell
paper and to the Boston Gongrcgational-
ist, statistics showing that the population
increaso in that State is duo almost wholly
to the foreign element. Here aro some
of the latest figures :
Of 858 births in Lowell in 18G3,
5C2 had - fathers born abroad, and
only 29G had thcrs born in this country.
But even this does not give tho whole
statement, for, of the 29G whoso fathers
were born hero, a certain number had
foreign mothers or grandparents, so that
he estimates the strictly American births
at 237 only, and the foreign or partially
foreign at 621. And yet, less than half
the population of Lowell aro foreigners,
or of recent foreign extraction. The
number of births in Lowell was 824 in
1867, of which 215 were of pure Amer
ican parentage. In Lawrence, in 1867,
there were 859 births; in 1863, only 790.
Of tho latter, Dr. Allen estimates that
647 were of foreign descent, and 1S5 of
pure American blood. About half the
population ot Lawrence are of forei
extraction. ; ' f

crecy rcsti upon one who is a guest in a
family. Tho turpitude of a betrayal of
family history by a visitor, is far greater
than theft would bo. To pocket half, a

age; prodoea- far less sufferingand be less1'
immoral than tale-bearing It is a thing
so scandalous that it should degrade . a ,
tersoa, and put him or her out of society. ;
To betray tha secrets of the household is -not
only an odious immorality, but it is a
sin and a shame to be on good terms with"
those who are known to commit such out-,
rages; They are miscreants. . They put v
thenselves out of the pale of decent o
ciety. They should be. treated as moral '
outlaws.-
These hungry-eyed wretches who sitia
the unsuspicious circle of parents and'
children, treasuring their words, spying r
their weaknesses, misinterpreting the In-
nocent liberties of tho household, ' and t
than run from house to house with their'
shameksj news, are worse than poisoners '

Evsry mother is a.historian. She writes-
not the history of empires or of nations
on paper, but she writes her own history
ou the imperishable mind of her child.'
That tablet and that history will remain
indelible when time shall be no more.
That history each mother shall meet
again, and read with eternal joy or unut
terable grief m the coming ages of eter
nity. The thought should weigh on the
mind of every mother, and render her
deeply circumspect, and prayerful and
faithful iu her solemn work cf training
up her children for heaven and immor
tality. The minds of children are Terr suscep
tible and easily impressed. A word, a look, a
frown may engrave an impression on tb
mind of a child that no lapse of time can '
efface or wash out. You can walk tho sea
shore whtn the tide ii out, and you form
characters or write words or names in the?
smooth white sand which is spread oat so
clear and so beautiful at your feet, accor
ding as your fancy may dictate; but the
returning tide shall in a lew hours wash
out and efface all that you have written.
Not so the lines and characters of truth
or error which your conduct imprints on
the mind of your child. There you write
impressions for the everlasting good or ill
of your child, which neither the floods
nor the storms of earth can wash out, nor
e cold fingers of death erase, cor the
slow moving of eternity obliterate. How,
careful, then, should each mother bo in
her treatment of her child. How prayer
ful, and how serious, and how earnest to
write the eternal truths of God on his
mind those truths which shall bo his
uids and teacher when her voice shall
be silent in death, and her lips no longer
move in prayer in his behalf, in commend-
ins: her dear child to her covenant God.

How to Judge Poultry. A young
turkey has a smooth leg and soft bill and
his eyes bright, and the feet moist. . Old
tnrkeys have scaly, stiff , feet. Young
fowls have a tender skin, smooth legs,:
and the breast bone yields,-readily to tho"
pressure of tho finger. ' The best ' aro
those that have yellovf legs. I The --feet,
and legs of the old fowls look as if thejf
had saen hard service in the world."
Young ducks feel tender under th
wingr, and the web is transparent 'The
best are thick and hard on the breast.
