Individual wealth aggregated, makes
the wealth of communities. Encour
agement to manufacturers developes
energy, cultivates taste, improves me
chanics, and attracts custom, not only
to the mechanic, but to his neighbor.
Every man who goes out tff his own

that much injury to himself and the

Editor appeals to the people at home
to support his paper oil the ground
that it is a homo journal, educating
public taste, promoting intelligence,
encouraging industry and giving gen

not one argument he uses that does Tiot

Ill referring to the growing inclina
tion on the part of young men, after
they have served long and hard ap
prenticeships to acquire a good trade,
to abandon this mode of making a li v
ingand to enter the legal or medical
profession, where it is supposed greater
emoluments can be secured and larger
honors won, a cotcniporary well ob
serves that in nineteen cases out of
twenty such adventiiresarc failures, for
two reasons: Fiist, the professions
require peculiar talent ami the most
thorough education. Asa rule, ap
prentices to the trades have neither the
timo nor the means to acquire this
education. Hence, when a mechanic
at the end of his apprenticeship as
pires to and enters any one of the pro
fessions, he does so at a great disad
vantage. He may be a fluent speaker,
know how to argue a point in a debat
ing society or harangue a crowd nt a
ward meeting, but such talent3 do not
fit him tor the legal profession. He
A LE6EXD Or 1770.
Night had set in deep, and in a small
log eitbin situated a few miles from
Trenton, N. J., sat five men, four of
whom were seated around an oldoaken
table in the centre of the room engaged
in playing cards while they requont
lv moistened their throats with largo
draughts irom an earthen jug that
stood on tne tabic.
They were heavily bearded, coarso
looking men, and from their dress
which somewhat resembled tiie British
uniform, they were evidently torie3.
The other was a stout built young man
clad in the continental uniform. He
sat in one corner of the room with his
face buried in his hands.
"Tom," said one of the Tories, ris
ing from the table and seating himself
near the young prisoner, for such ho
evidently was, "Tom, you and I were

fact is, the voting men who abandon
their trades are tempted to do so by a
tceling ot false pride, erroneously
imagining there is no honor to be se
cured in a pursuit of the mechanical
arts. History prove3 the fallacy of
such suppositions.
The brightest names which now
adorn the annals of all countiios are of
the best mechanics who have blessed
mankind with the productions of
their genius. All that is beautiful
and grand is the result of improve
ment in mechanic. The pendulum,
the main spring, the barometer, ther
mometer, printing press, steam engine,
locomotive, sewing machine, telescope
all, all arc the result of mechanics'
arts, making those fiinioiu who pro
duce them, and that people great who
adopc.l them.

Some could take their teeth out with
their fingers and place them in again,
and if they got well the teeth would

like men. The worst of all was, it
was often attended with diarrhor.i that
eoon carried its prey down to the
grave. I think the highest number
of deaths in one day was a hundred
and fifty. This was in August. Gen
erally, from thirty to a Hundred were
taken nut, exclusive of those that died
iu the hospital. The dead were thrown
into a vagon and kiuled to the
trenches and then laid in side by side,
with only a foot or two of dirt to cover
them. It is said their graves were
marked, but it is very doubtful if they

Very often our rations were cut o.T

to merit the claims he may put forth

They differ widely in character. One

An Atlanta paper tells of a chap
who came down from one of the upper
counties and encountered a man with
a baud organ covered with green cloth.
The man began to turn and the other
put down a quarter, which the other
immediately took up. Down wentan
othcr, which shared the same fate, and
then another. The stranger, findiuz
his pile getting low, turned to a by
stander and asked: "Mister, what sort
of a game is this, any how?"
vou will soon distinguish vourself in
the royal army, and after this rebel
lion is crushed out, your cause
would be rewarded by knighthood and
promotion in the army. Now there
are two alternatives ; u hick do vou
choose?"
"Neither," said the young man,
raising his head and looking the Tory
steadily in the eye.
"I ftm now us you sny your prisoner,
but when the clock strikes twelve I
shall leave you I shall leave in a
cloud of smoke, and neither vou nor

"l'oor fellow, his niiwl wanders,"
said the Tory, "he'll talk differently
in the morning." And lie returned to
his seat at the table, leaving the youth
with his head again resting m Ins

When the clock struck eleven, tho
young prisoner drew a pipe anil some
tobacco from bis pocket, and ask.nl the
Tory leader if he had any objection to
his smoking. "None in'the'least." he
said, adding with a laugh "that is, if
ii ii jihiiiic nut iu disappear m a
cloud of tobacco smoke."
The young man made no reply, bft
immediately filled and lighted his pipe,
having done which he. he arose and
commenced pacing the floor.
He took half a dozen turns up and
down each side of the room, approach
ing nearer the table each tim. when
having exhausted bis pipe he returned
to his seat and re-filled it.
He continued to smoko until the
clock struck twelve, when lie arose
from his sent and slowly knocking the
ashes out of his pipe, said ;
"There, boys, it's twelve o'clock and
I must leave you ; good by
Immediately all around the room
streaks of fire ran hissing and squirm
ing; tho cabin was filled with dense
sulphurous smoke, amidst which was
heard a clap of thunder. Tho Tories
sat in their chairs paralyzed with
fright.
Tho smoke soo:i cleared away, but
the prisoner was nowhere to bo seen.
Tho table was overturned, the window
was smashed to pieces, and one chair
was lying on the ground outside of the
building.
Tho Tory leader, after recovering
from his stupor, gave one glance
arojind the room and sprang out of the
window, followed by his comrades.
They ran through the forest at tho top
of their speed in the direction ol the
britishencainpment leaving their mus
kets and other arms to the mercy of the
flames, which had now begun to -devour
the cabin.
The next day two yecng men dress
ed in the Continental unilorin were
seen standing near the ruins of the old
cabin. One was of the night previous.
"Let us hear all about it, Tom," said
the other
"Well," said he, "last evening as I
was passing this place, two Tories ran
out of the cabin and took possession
of me. Before I could make any re
sistance they took me in, and who do
you suppose I saw as a leader of their
party but John Bartg:;, our old school
riiatc. IIo talked with mo, and tried
to induce me to join them ; but I told
them I couldn't do it that at twelve
o'clock I was going to escape, disappear
in a crouo ot nre nna smoke ; but lie
laughed at me and said I was out of
my head.
"About eleven o'clock I asked him
if I might smoke. He said ho bad no
objection; so I filled my pipe and
lighted it, ami ommencs walking the
floor. I had about a pound of "gun
powder in my pocket, and as 1 walked
I strewed it all over the floor. When
tho clock struck twelve I bid them
good bye, and told them I had to go;
and then knocking the ashes out of ray
pipe, tho powder ignited and a daz
iling flame of fire shot across, around
and all over the room, filling it with
suffocating smoke. Before it cleared
away I hurled a chair through the win

them to their own reflections. You

A foreigner, anxious to study the
present condition of American politics
recently inquired of a prominent Dem
ocrat what are tho present principles
of the Democratic party. The follow
ing dialougue ensued :
Democrat. Why, sir, the Democrat
ic party has always been frank in the
statement of its principles. You have
only to read the platform adopted at
its last National Convention, and vou
will find them set forth in full. ' ..
Foreigner. I have read it, and find
the only distinctive, point in it lo be
that "after four years of failure to re
store the Union by war, there ought
to be and immediato cessation of hos
tilities." I suppose tho triumph of
the Uovernment over the rebellion in
the fifth year of tiie war must have ob
liged the Democratic party to admit
that they were mistaken. 1
Dem. Mistaken I Sir, the Democrat
ic party wits never mistaken. Buton
reflection I perceive that the present
principles of the party are not stated
in its platform. Tho first is that this
is a whito man's country, ami that
black men have no constitutional right
to vole, especially in reconstructing
the Southern States, and no human
power can give tliem tiie right.
For. You have heard of Noah
Webster, have you not ?
Dem. Heard of him, yes; and
ho was not only the best lexicographer
of'the English language, but he was a
straight out, old-fashioned Connecticut
Democrat.
For. Well, he defines a Democrat
to bo "ono who favors the extentioii of
the right of suffrage to nil classes of
men." How is it thnt a man can be n
Democrat solely because he opposes
that doctrine ?
Dem. Polities have changed since
Webster's time. Ho did not regard
negroes as men.
For. Indeed he defined a negro to
be "ono belonging to tho black race of
men."
Dem. Well, Webster is a mere ped
agogue. Our statesmen have thought
differently.
For. Who are your statesmen ?
Dem. Andrew Jackson and
For. But Jackson led the free ne
groes to tho polls, and voted with them j
