YOU St MISSION'.
If you cannot on the ocean ,
Sail auionsr the swiftest fleet.
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at the storm you meet,
You can stand araon; the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay ;
You can lend a hand to help them
As they launch che boats away.
If you ire too weak to journey
Up the mountains, steep and high,
Ym can stand within the val!ey
Whi'e the multitudes go byj
You can chant in happy measures,
As they slowly pass along;
Though thsy may forget the singer,
They will hot forget the song.
If yon have not gold or silver
Eeiready to command,
If yon cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open band;
You can visit the afflicted,
O'er the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple. !
Sitting at the Saviour' feet.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soMior tao, t
If. where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work ftr you to do, ,
lVha the battle-field i silent
You c;tn go with sil-nt tread;
You can bear away the wounded,
- Yuu can cover up the dead.
I) "not, then, stan 1 Illy waiting
For some greater work to do ;
Fortune is a bury; goddess.
She will never come to you ;
. Go and toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do and dare;
If you want a field of labor
Yen can find it anywhere.

hud occasion to correct an urchin nam
Ted Johnny. Now Johnny got into a
fit of what is called the "sujk.s" be
cause he was whipped, and in order to
convince him that he was jnstly and
necessarily punished his teacher had
recourse to the following argument:
"Well, Johnny, supposing you were
riding a big horse to water, and all at
enee the hore were to stop and refuse
to go any farther, wVt would you do4:'
Johnny stifled his sobs for a moment,
and looking up through his tears, re
plied : -, . t; . ' ;
"I'd cluck to him, sir.'
"Hut suppose he wouldnlt go for
vour cluckioir. what would you do
then?" .
"I'd get down and lead him, sir.".
"And what if he were obstinate and
would not let you lead him V
"Why, I'd take off the bridle rnd
. turn him loose, and walk home, sir."
"lou may go and take your seat

to see the necessity for using the

TiiEnqosT OF ,lTf -In an Eastern

Against king alcohol, j The counts in

liquors drank in in the United btates
61,250,000,000 are ! to be added to
this for loss of time and other expenses
. This is estimated. ; ...-
U,UUU,UUU bushels ot grain were
used up to produce this liquor. '

legal Teuder Cases.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to a. Chicago paper, under dato of
the 11th iust , has tho following con
cerning the presentation of tho Legal
Tender cases in the Supreme Court :
There was a very lively scene in the
Supreme Court this morning, the old
est lawyers practising there having
witnessed nothing like ft in: their day.
It arose Jo connection with the legal
tender case, which it was expected
would be again argued on its merits.
At the proper hour, Mr. Potter, of
New York, who is counsel in one of
the cases on which the Court had con
sented to hear further argument, in ef
sect asked a postponement, for the rea
son that the senior counsel was engag
ed elsewhere, and others were absent
on account of illness.
The Attorney General responded
against postponement, and in the ( course
of his remarke spoke of the necessity
fur an early hearing and decision, be
cause the country is disturbed and will
continue . disturbed until the whole
question at issue is settled, lie also
alluded to the fact 'that these two cases
involve points somewhat like those in
the cases recently decided, and in re
ply to Potter, denied that any order
had ben wade which precluded a hear
ing on the point, then decided. The
Chief Justice here interrupted, to say
that, according to tjis recollection, such
an 'order had been made. This was
said with evident feeling, and Justice
Miller remarked with equal feeling
that he knew of no such order. ; Jus
tice Nelson came to the rescue of the
Chief Justice, and Justice Davis spoke
up that he concurred with Miller. The
Chief Justice repeated his statement
with , emphasis and hardly suppressed
pas-ion, and upon the sujnrcstion of
Judge Davis, who remarked that it was
not worth while to bandy words, it was
decided that the cases might go over
to next Monday. m The Attorney' Gen
eral meantime bowed to the recollec
tion of the Chief Justice, and merely
expressed his regret that in a . matter
of this importance there was no record.
1 he point on which this dispute, so
astonishing, iu the Supreme Court, came
up, seems to be whether there was or
was :not such an order made when
Kvarts was Attorney General, as pre
vents a further hearing on the ques
tion whether the Legal Tender Act aj
plies to debts contracted before its
paSS'JffC.
A young lady being present with her
mother aud an "edicated" cousin at a
bill in Wyoming, upon being asked to
dance replied :
"Oh, blazes, boys, I can t dance: but
there's mam, jest as good a dancer as
ever shuck a f ot."
Her horrified co isin instantly correct-
el her tell in :r her she rouldhave
said :
"Oh, vexation ! gentlemen, it is an
absolute imp ssiMlitv for me to ncr
ambulate the terpsicborean evolutions ;
but there is my maternal relatiye, who
is just as e,.xeellfent a dancer as ever vi
brated a ped4l extremity."
Characteristic Here is a dis
patch said to have been sent from Prcs
iTlent Lincoln to Gen. Hooker: If
the head of Lee's army is at Martins
burg, and the tail of it on the Plank
Itoad between Fredericksburg and
Chancellorsvillc, the animal must be
pretty slim somewhere. CanU you
break him? - A. Lincoln.

Some days ago, a bright little juveti
iiCj hve years of age,' named llosa, w
teased a good deal by a gentleman who
Cts the family; he wound np by say
ing, "Rosa, I don't love you." "Aa,
but you ve got to love me " said the
child. '-How so?" "Why," answered
llosa, "the Jsible says you must love
them that hate you, and that I am sure
1 hate you."
i The Naw York' World recentlv in
troduced a long table of figures to prove
that "protection" compels a man or wo
man to pay twenty-one cents a yard for
calico, which in England can be bought
for fourteen cents. Its own column of
prices current answered free trade ar
gument. ,; The same kind of calico
which protection makes o dear was
quoted at nine to ten cents. "

Telegraphic Suiniiiary.
I Chicago, May 12. Tn the Senate
the It. II. Committee have agreed up
on the Southern Pacific line to run
from Marshall, Texas, via Elpaso, to
San Diego, California. The United
States is to grant forty sections to the
mile beyond the border of Texas; with
in that State it will depend on its Leg
islature for aid. v - 1
Fremont's wad to be allowed to con
nect at Elpaso, but not to have land
beyond.
The amendments proposed to the
Southern Pacific It. It. bill is one by
Arnel, of Texas, granting alternate sec
tions of land not granted To the road
into the hands of thirteen Trustees, to
be known av the Freedman's Home
Ktead Commission, who are to sell or
mortgage these lands and with the pro
ceeds provide" homes for. the Frecdmen
of the South and to educate them. -
A Times special says that the action
of the II"Use yesterday on the North
ern Pacific Railroad bill is regarded as
a final blow to all land grant schemes
that don t provide that the company re
ceiving lands shall sell them only to ac
tual settlers upon a stated price; this
the Northern Pacific company is not
willing to accept and the "bill is consid
ered dead.
