of "wheat which was proven to be

Thv: Folia- of Li-:avi;g Mon
ey to Children. Children are
frequently ruined by inheriting
large fortunes, than by being com
pelled, by the absence oF wealth,
to embrace an active and industri
ous life to gain a subsistance. We
have been much pleased with
the answer of Phocion, one of the
most renowned philosophers and
lawgivers of Greece, when a friend
presented him ?. large sum of mon
ey and pressed him to accept of it,
at least for his children. uJf" mv
children,"" said Phocion, " resemble
me thev will, us well as me, have
enough ; and if they become dissi
pated, I will not leave wherewithal
to maintain their luxury and do
baiichery."' The following sublime extract
is from a speech delivered by
Abraham Lincoln in 1859, when
speaking of the slave power in
America: Broken by it I too mav
be ; bow to it, I never will. The
vrol ability that we may fail in the.
struircrle, ought not to deter us
from the support of a cause which
we deem to be just ; and it shall
not deter me. If ever I feel the
soul within me elevated and ex
pand to those dimensions not
wholly unworthy of its Almighty
j Architect, it is when I contemplate
j the cause of my count ry, deserted
by all the world be.'ade, and I
standing alone, and hurling defi
ance at her victorious oppressors.
Here, without contemplating con
sequences, before high Heaven and
in the face of the world, I swear
eternal fidelity to the just cause.
The Society of Women. One
of the great benefits a young man
may derive from woman's society
is that he is bound to be respect
ful to them. The habit is of great
good to your moral man, depend
upon it. " Our education makes of
us the most eminently selfish men
in the world. We fight for our
selves ; we push for ourselves; we
cut the best slices out of the' joint
at club dinners for ourselves; we
vawn for ourselves, and light our
pipe
s, and say we won't go out;
we prefer ourselves ami our ease ;
mid the greatest good that comes
to a man from woman's society is,
that he has to think of somebody
besides himself somebody to
whom he is bound to be constantly
attentive and respectful. Certainly,
I don't want 1113- dear Bob to asso-
ciate with those of the other sex
whom he doesn't and can't respect :
that is worse than billiards; worse
than tavern brandy and water;
worse than smoking selfishness at
home. But I vow T would rather
see you turning over the leaves of
Aliss Fiddlecombe's music book all
night than at billiards, or smoking,
or brandy and water, or all three.

CATS.
Tliero were two Arlrnnsns law
yers. They were good old fellows
I menu ;ood for lawyers beinq;
members of tho hard-shell Baptist
church, for a wonder or for ef
fect; just as you like, and were
each called ' Judge.' And they
hated cats as much as country edi
tors hate each other.
Court was being held in the
town of L. and our two judges
(Clark and Thomas) were' mit
ten dance.
The town of
L.
consisted of a
6urt-iouse. built of logy,
x iail
built of loqs, ;i liotel built of los,
and a surrounding forest, which
was also of logs.
The jail, its I said belcre, was
built of logs, and was without a
foundation. It was a one story
building, and it was said the pris
oners used to dig out with the ace
of spades. -But I always thought
the rumor had no mere foundation
than the ja.il had.
The hotel was quite a lame
structure. The partitions which
divided the rooms of the hotel
were of logs, and guiltless of
chunking and daubing.
They used to make splendid
corn-dodgers at that hotel, the
best I ever ate. In fact there was
one objection 'to the corn-dodcrers,
and 1 only discovered that, the
morning I left. It h this; the
dogs were allowed to sleep in the
meal chest.
iJut to my f:tory. it had been
a hot day. The judge upon the
bench had been hot, the lawyers
had warmed with their subjects
until they had become perfectly
liery ; the sheriff poor iellow, had
"cried" both at the ooeninir and
the
eiosmg ot the court, and of
course he was warm too
fit-re facte had been.
several
issued
1
though many of tho liery faces
wore .attributable as much to a
portable billiard saloon, which was
kept in a gallon jug back of the
court house, as to the weather.
The jury had disagreed and you
may be sure thev were warm. 80,
you see, I was right in saying it
had been a hot day. Supper was
hastily swallowed, and everybody
being tired, became unattired and
sought rest in sleep.
The beds were " shakedovns,"
sin or eight in a room. Judge
Clark lay with his head to the
north, on one side, and Judge
Thomas lay with his head to the
south, on the other side of the
room. 80 far as that room was
concerned, it might be said that
their heads; represented the north
and south poles, respectively.
All the other beds in tlie room
were occupied. In the centre of
the room was comparatively a large
space of neutral ground in which
the oeeu Hunts of the d liferent beds
x.
had equal rights. Here, in pic
turesque confusion, lay the boots,
hats, coats and breeches of the
sleeoer:'. There were no windows,
and though the door was open,
there being no moon, the night
was very dark in that room.
It was a peaceful scene. The
wily lawyers, who had been contu
macious as wild pigs through the
uav, were
now
tho
very mcarna-
tions of meekness, '.for when the
hungry swarm of mosquitoes
settled down and bit them on the
cheek, they slowly turned the oth
er to be bitten also.
"But hush! hark!" A deep
sound strikes the ear like rising
knell !
; Ale-ow-ow !''
Judges Clark and Thomas were
wide awake, and sitting bolt up
right in an instant. Again the
startled cry !
i: Ye-ov
, ve-ow.
i. rpi , 1
a
cat !"' whispered
Clark.
" Scat ! you P hissed Thomas.
Cat paid no attention to these
demonstrations, but picked himself
a. softer spot on the log upon
whieh he was sitting, and gave
vent to another ve-ow!
"Oh, Lord f cried Clark, "I
can't stand this! Where is she,
Thomas?"
" On your side of the room somo-
where," replied Thomas.
" No; site's on your side," said
Clark.
"Ye-ow-ow-ow!'5
" There, I told you she was on
your side," they both exclaimed in
a breath.
And still the ; yow !" went on.
The idea now entered the heads
of both the lawyers, that by the
exercise of certain strategy they
might be enabled to execute a cer
tain flank movement on the cat,
and totally demoralize him. Prac
tically, each determined to file.' " a
motion to ouash" the cat's attach-
i mcnt for that room.
Each kept his plan to himself
and, m the a ark, unable to see
each other, prepared for action.
Strange as it may apnear, it is
nevertheless true, that the same
plan suggested itself to both. In
words, this plan would be about as
follows: The yowler is evidently
looking and calling for another cat,
with whom, he has made ail ap
pointment. I will imitate a cat, and
this cat will think 'tother cat's
round. This cat will come to
wards inc, and when he shall have
arrived, within reach I'll blaze
away with anything I can get hold
of, and knock the musi out of
him.
80 each of the portly judges,
noiselessly as cream comes to the
surface of milk, hoisted himself on
to his hands and knees, and, hip
popotamus fashion, advanced to
the neutral ground occupying the
central, portion ol the room. Ar
rived there, Judge Clark selected a
boot-jack, and Judge Thomas a,
heavy cowhide boot from the heap,
aiid settled themselves down to
the work. Clark tightened his
grip on the boot-jack, and throw
ing up his head, gave vent to a
pro) ruiged and unearthly " ye-ow-ow
!" that would have reflected
credit upon ten of the largest
kinds of cat?.
"Aha
was not
!" thought Thomas, who
six feet away, "lie's im
mediately close around ! Now
I'll inveigle him I" and he gave the
reguiar dark night call of a femi
nine cat.
Each of the judges now ad
vanced a little closer, and Clark
produced a questioning "Ow?
ow V" Thomas answered reassur
ing " Pur-ow ! pur-ow !" and they
advanced a little more.
They vrere nlnv within easy
reach, and each imaging the cat
iiad but a moment longer to live,
whaled away, the one with his
boot, the other with his bootjack.
The boot took Clark square in
the mouth, demolishing Iris teeth,
and the boot-jack came down on
Thomas' bald head just as" he was
in the midst of a triumphant
"ve-ow !"
n ...
AVhen the lights were brought
the cats had disappeared and the
cat-astrophe was ended.
Tin: Pacific Railroad and the
China Trade The London Econ
omic., has an article in which the
possible effects on the China trade,
of the Pacific Railroad, are discus
sed. The writer believes that the
road between Xewr York and San
Francisco will not divert so much
of the European trade with the
East as many persons appear to
suppose ; that the American traf
fic will go by that route, but for
tho Old" World, the sea and the
overland journey will be prefera
ble. Yre quote a passage :
The time allowed Ly the present
mail contract with the Peninsula
and Oriental Company may be ad
vantageously compared with the
time proposed by way of New
York and San Francisco, allowing
ten days lor the mails between
London a yl Xe w York, and
six days for the ...passage across
the continent. The comparison
( not including the stoppage's) is as
follows :
By Marseilles and Bombay
London to Hongkong, in 39 days ;
London to Shanghac, 43 dnys;
London to Yokohama, 38 days. .
By New York and San Fran
cisco London to Hongkong, in
17 days ; London to Shanghac, 43
days ; London to Yokohama, 38
days.
Wo can thus get to Shanghac as
quickly by the present mail route
as by the new one, and without so
long a railway journey, which is
rather an important consideration
for travelers ; we also get to Hong
kong much more quickly, though
with regard to Yokohama and Jap
an the new line will clearly have
the advantage. Europe
will gain by the new route, so far
as Japan and Xcw Zealand are con
cerned, but in no other respect, ex
cept in having a competing line to
the more distant ports of China,
This being the case, the Indian
trade is, of course, out of the ques
tion by the new routes.

Washington, June 22, 1SC9.
There is one fact that teaches a
sublihier lessen than any theory,
no matter how logically drawn,
viz: That wherever liepublic:tn
principles have been boldly applied
there thepeojyle are luqypiest. I do
not remember even the excertion
that is said to prove the rule. y
A year ago I saw the Great
West for the first time. Its mar
vellous growth, its splendid cities,
its magnificent railroads, its un
equalled schools, its affluent trade,
manufactures, and agriculture,
were not lets palpable than its , -devotion
to what are called Radical
principles.
Last week I sav.r N"ew England
for the third time. It is seventeen
years since my first visit to Boston.
Then Maine, New Hampshire, find
Connecticut were Democratic
strongholds, and Massachusetts
was divided between contending
factions. But now Xew England
is as solidly Republican as Lan
caster county, Pennsylvania ; and
the States I lucre named, like Illi
nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa,
(all Democratic twenty short years
ago,) are the leaders of therRepub
lican column.
Their change m politics has been
as marked as the improvement in
the intelligence and comfort of
their population.
Xo traveller, American or for
eigner, ever sojourns in New Eng
land without being overwhelmed
by the manifold proofs of this
statement. The surprise of Jeffer
son Davis in 1853, and the admi
ration of Lord and Lady Amberly
in 1858, as they studied the won
derful spectacle for themselves, are
echoed daily by witnesses as hm
partial and disinterested.
And mark, O Democrat ! these
results are wrought by a race that
discards all political conservatism.
They , take Republicanism
" straight,'5 They carry but con
victions. Fond of discussion and
addicted to " ideas," they practi-caii-e
all their theories and test
every invention severely.
New England is the schoolmas
ter, and she begins at home. She
does her wOrk Aveli first at her own
hearthstone, and then she sends
her pupils " abroad." They con
vince and conquer always.
And thus it is that every com
munity where theyjive and labor
becomes at last (and not tardily)
a copy and an echo of the mother
that sends them forth.
As you ponder the picture, my
Democratic friend, you rriay fee!
disposed to insist tli fit all these
benefits have come in fipite of
Radical Republicanism, and not in
consequence of it; j
V ery well, just try the same
remedies on yourself; and if you
do not insist that 'they ought to be
at once, applied to the South, and
that the sooner the Democracy
cease rejecting them the better for
themselves, you will be incorrigi
ble.
it is some thirty-eight, years

What would he write to-day if he

Courage. Keep courage and
you will win all your battles. It is
not the first fight that decides the
fate of an individual, but rather a
succession of battles, in many of
which he may be worsted, but if
he only keeps his courage, he will
win at last, and come off concmer
er. How much more noble it is to
keep up such a spirit than to de
qiond at the first reverse ! A good
cause nioy be apparently lost, but
if a brave people support it, tho
battle 13 ever .won in the end.
Therefore in all your transactions
through life keep up courage, and
go to work manfully. A man that
goes into n light with pluck is half
winner ere he strikes k blow, while
the "backward and cowardly are
whipped before they receive any
punishment. Courage is the one
necessary adjunct of success, and
the two are seldom if ever found
apart.
Give Tii e Printers Fair Play.

fairplay. Do not forget that it costs

printers in any way whatever. It
is the printers ink that makes nine
