The speaker was swell dressed boy of
fourteen, and the words were addressed
to a boy of about his own age and his
sister of eight. The contrast between
their outward appearance was striking.
Oscar was of light complexion and look
ed like a petted child of the aristopracy.
He held a club in his hand, which it
might be judged from his scowling face
he would not be unwilling to use.
John Walton.who confronted him with
out fear, was a stouter boy than Oscar.
His complexion was dark; his hair,
black as a raven's wing, hung over his
forehead. His a:oil:ling was coarse and
well-worn, his pants were tucked up
nearly to hie knees, and shoes and stock
ings were luxuries which he dispensed
with. His little sister, terrified by Os
car's rude manners, clungto her brother
in :aright.
" Don't be scared of him, Lizzie." said
John. "He won't dare to touch us."

John Weßon's Revenge.
BY HORATIO ALGER, JR
~ Be off from here, yon littleleggar!"
said Oscar Ranilds imperiously.
•• Won't I though ?" said Oscar,clutch
ing his stick tighter.
"Not if you know what is beet for your
self," said John, looking fixedly at him.
You have no business here, you t eg
gar," said Oscar furiously.
" I am no begger," said the barefoot
boy proudly.
" This is my falber's land. Can you
deny that ?" demanded Oscar.
" I know it is, and I suppose it will be
yours some day.
" Then why have you intruded here? 't
" I did not suppose it would do any
harm to pick a few berries, which would
otherwise decay on the vines.
" Then you know it now. I don't care
for the berries. but don't want any beg
gar's brats on my father's place.
" St op there,young master," said John
firmly. " You called me a beggar, and
I did not care much, hut if you call my
mother by that name you will be sorry
"I ?" said Oscar, contemptuously
"What will you do ?"
"I will beat you with that stick you
hold in your band."
•• Then I do call her a beggar," said
John furiously. "What are you going
to do about. it ?"
• You will see."
John Walton let his sister's hand fall,
and springing upon Oscar wrenchtd the
stick from his hand, laid it over his back
with sharp emphasis three times, and
then flung it into the pool hard by.
Leaving his young enemy prostrate,
be took his terrified sister by the band,
and saying; "we will go home now, Lis.
zie," and walked quietly away.
Oscar picked himself up, mortified and
furious Be would have persued John
and wreaked instant vengeance upon him
if he had dared, but in the hands of the
young savage, as he mentally character
ized him, be had telt his own utter ina
bility to cope with him, and resolved
that vengeance should come in another
shape,
My father shall turn the beggars out
of house and home," he muttered. " I
wish they might starve."
The father of Oscar Ronalds wax the
proprietor of a handsome house and large
laud estate, incluiing several tenements
which he rented out. In the poorest of
these lived John Walton and his mother.
They lived poorly enough. how it would
be hard to tell, but at all events they liv
ed and never sought help.
When John told the story of his eu•
counter to his mother, she was disturb.
ed, fearing that trouble might come of it.
So, indeed, it did.
The nest morning Squire Ronalds,
with his stiff, erect figure, was seen ap
proaching the widow's cottage.
Mre. Walton opened the door.
6' Won't you come in, Squ.re Rough,"
she said nervously.
" Madame, I have but a word' to
say, and that is soon said. Are you aware
that your boy grossly insulted my son

"Your son is a ruffian ma'am."
Not so bad as that. He is agood boy

"It is a pity he can't treat otherswith
proper respect.
"Da you think he was wholly to

"Certainly he was ; My eon naught

wise, as your month is up to-day, Isball
require you to leave this tenement."
John, who bad been inside and heard
what bad been said, came forward look
ing resolute and self sustained.
I shall nut apologize to Master Os•
car,-sir," he said. "It is he who should
apologize to me."
" Apologize to you! That would look
well, would it not?" said the Squire
scornfully-
It would be right," said John firm

" You are nn impudent young reseal."
illt•ther," said John quietly. there is
no use dotting further. I shall not apol
°gin., and am ready to take the conse-;
quences. Don't be alarmed. - I'll take
care of you.".
" You must leave this bonze to-mor
row," roared Squire Ronalde. in a very
undignified rageotaraping his gold bead
ed cane upon the ground.
"Very well." said John. ~ - Good day,
sir." and closed the door, leaving the
Squire under a vague impression that be
bad got the worst of the encounter.
" What shall we do, John ?" said Mrs.
Walton, dismally.
"I'll tell you, mother." said John.—
"There is nothing for me to do bere.
We will go to Brandon, where there are
woolen mills. Then I can get a chance
to Ito*, and J will rise, never fear. It is
best for us to go."
The next day Mrs. Walton's tenement
was empty, and no one knew where the
family had gone. Oscar exulted in what
he regarded as his triumph.
Twenty years passed. To ;he barefoot
ed boy tkey brought wonderful changes
At twenty-four•he found himself super
intendent of the mill where he had en
tered as a poor operative, earning a sal
ary of.five thousand dallars a year He
had built a handsome bum. over which
his mother presided with matronly dig:
nity. His sister Lizzie was the wife of a
young physician in successful practice
in the same town.
One winter evening - they -were-anneal
ed in a luxuriously furnished room, be
fore a glorious fire. His sister had come
to spend the afternoon, but was prevent
ed by the violent storm from returning
to her own home.
What a storm it is!" she exclaimed
wondering. "I pity those who are out.
in it."
" Yes." said her brother, " it is the
most violent storm of the year. The
snow must be two feet deep at least,. But
we need not feel troubled. It is summer
indoors."
" Who would have thought, John, that
we should come to live in such comfort?"
sa.d his mother. " Twenty years ago we
were poorly off."
"I well remember it. It was a lubky
thing we came to Brandon."
•• So it has turned out. But I was
alarmed when you quarreled with young
Oscar Ronalds." •
I have forgiven him. The harm he
intended bas only done us good.
Have you heard anything of him
It rely ?"
Not lately. His father died ten yea'is
since, and I am told that Oscar is very
extravagant. That is all."
The storm increased in siolence,shak
itig the house, firm and Pirong RS it was
All at once the do ,r-hell rang sharply,
•• I will go myself,? raid John. ••The
servant may Lot be able to close the door
again."
HP opened the front door, and a sharp
cutting wind entered with s flurry of
snow.
" Witt you give me shelter?" said a
faint voice.
It was a man who spoke still young
He stepped in quite exhausted. John
Walton closed the door.
"You have had a hard struggle with
the storm, have you not?" he said.
" I have indeed lam chilled to the
bone."
"Come into the fire," and John threw
open the door of the sitting-room.
He perceived that the stranger had no
over-coat and appeared thoroughlythill
ed. Warm drinks were ordered, and in
half an hour he was more comfortable.
He looked thin and haggard, and his face
bore the impress of dissipation.
He had mdre than once looked earnest
at. John Walton. Finally he said ab
ruptly.
" Will you tell me your name? Your
face looks familiar.
"My name is John Walton.
" What I" said the other with a start.
"Did you live, when a boy, in the town
of 111—?"
"Yes, but
.I dont remember you."
"I am Oscar Ronalds," said the other
in a low voice.
" Is it possible ?" exclaimed the three:
and they involuntarily glanced at theill
clad stranger.
" I see what you are thinking of. I
don't look much like the boy you used
to know. I have been wild and extrava-

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL GRANT.—After
the capture of Vicksburg, steamers ran
in there to take furloughed troops up the
river, charging as high as $3O fora pas
sage from Vicksburg to Cairo. Says our
author:
Tbe steamer had its decks crowded
with 'soldiers, and Grant said to a man
trsnding on .the wheelhouse giving or
ders loudly:
"Are you Captain on this boat V'
" Yes, General."
" Row many soldiers have you on
board?"
"About 1250." -
"What have you charged for fare to
Cairo!"
" , From ten to twenty-fire dollars each
General."
"Ten to twenty-five dollars each ?
Is that all? Why that is too moderate!
It is a pity you should have to take the
boys for so small a sum. You had better
wait a while."
Speaking to the officer on beard, be
walked away. 'The steamer whistled
the bell rang. the wheels began to move
slowly; but, fcir some reason, she was
not east off. The men could not under
stand it until, in a few moments an order
came from the guard to keep the steam
er until the Captain paid back all over
$7 taken for fare from each officer, and
all over $5 from each soldier, and the .
ordeekwnguTheyes . kaew_th.ey
bad been victimized, but felt helpless.—
When they learned what the General bad
done, they gave '-three cheers."
A Vinun FOR BOVl.—Truth is one of
the raremt of gems. Many a boy has been
lost in society by allowing it to tarnish
his character, and foolishly throwing it
away.
If this gem still shines in yeur bosom,
suffer nothing to displace or diminish its
luster.
Profanity is a mark of low breeding.
Show us the man that nommands thebest
respect; an oath never trembles on bis
tongue. Read the catalogue of crime. In
quire the character of those who depart
from virtue Without a single exception,
you will find them to be profane. Think
of this, and don't 'et a vile word disgrace
you.
Honesty, frankness, generosity, vir
tue—blessed traits! Be these youre,my
boys, and we shall not fear. You will
claim the respect and love of all. You
are watched by your elders. Men who
are looking for clerks and apprentices
have their eyes on you. If you are pro
fane, vulgar. theatre-going,they will not
choose you. If you are upright, steady
and industrious, before long you will
find good places, kind masters, and the
prospect of a useful life before you
RHYME AND REASON —There is a good
deal more truth than poetry in the fol
lowing, which we cut from an exchange,
wii bout knowing the author's name.—
Re was sensible, whoever he may have
been .
•. When trade grew slack. and notes
fell due, the merchant's face grew long
and blue; his dreams were troubled tbro'
the night with sheriff's bailiff's all in
sight. At last his wife unto him said,
rise up at once, get out of bed, and get
your paper ink and pen, and say these
words unto all men:—
My goods I wish to sell to you. and to
your wife and daughters too : my prices
are so very low, that each will buy be
fore they go."
He did an his good wife advised, and
in the paper advertised. Crowds came
and bought of all he had, his notes were
paid, his dreams were glad, and he will
tell you.to this day, how well did print
er's ink repay.
He told us with a knowing wink, bow
he was saved by printer's ink.
A wssalsa journalist, who is often
merry over his personal plainness tells
this story of himself: I went to a chem
ist the other day for a dose of morphine
f)r a sick friend. The assistant objected
to give it to me without a prescription,
evidently fearing that I intended to com
mit suicide. " Pahaw !" said I. "do I
look like a man who would kill himself 7"
Gazing sieadily at me a moment, be
replied, "I don't know. It seems to me
if I looked like you, I should be greatly
tempted to kill myself.
DON'T be too anxious to solve a co
nundrum : We know a man who got two
black eiee in endeavoring to find out the
"difference between . a
map and woman

Speech of General Carl Schurz
W • give below an extract from the
speech of. General Carl Sokurt, made be
fore the General Assembly of Missouri
on receiving the official annotincemnet of
his el. ction as United• States B..nator:
"In order to arrive at a permanent
basis, we mu• t endeavor to close up the
distracting agitations whicl, have sprung'
from our civil conflict. The body politic
needs rest, but. it can and will have no
undisturbed repose as long as there are
classes of men that have to struggle for
their rights. Our Democratic system of
government can stand with security only
upon the foundation of impartial justice
and rights equal to all. [Applause ]. It
is not in consideration of the loyalty of
the negro Alone that we strive to extend
the_right of suffrage to the colored peo
ple. It is our interest no less than theirs;
it is the general interest of sopiety,which
demands that the laboring man,whatever
his race or color, should possess the po
litical rights wherewith to defend his
freedom, independence, and manhood,
and that all those stimulants of improve
ment should be furnished to him which
are calculated to raise him to the highest
measure of usefulness. [Applause.]—
Thus we shall only be just to ourselves
in being just to them. To protect and
secure the free development of the sew
order of things, it has been found neces
sary to take away the power for mischief
from the bands of those who, clueing the
great national crisis, stood up against us
as the enemies of the good cause. This
was necessary, and therefore justifiable.
A few days ago I declared here, in your
presence, as my opinion—Which I repeat.
now, only translating it front the lan
guage of defense into that of positive as
sertion—that the act of justice to loyal
men stands first in rank, and that acts of
grace to our late enemies are in order
only as will be consistent with the safe
ty of the loyal people; that I will pot
consent to arm the late rebels with power,
in a manner which would enable them to
deprive loyal men of their rights. By
this declaration I mean to stand. [Ap
plaute,]
On the other band, I am sore I bi
press the feelings of the Radical party of
Missouri when I say—and here again I
am only amplifying what I stated a few
days ago—that it is a sense of necessity
and justice tha t moves us, and not rank
ling hate or desire of revenge. While
we do not approve of that kand of forgive-
neee to the late enemies of the Republio
which consists of its forgetfulness of its
rinds, we swear to show that the dark
fanaticism which wili never forgive is
foreign to our hearts, and that it is not,
our desire to humiliate, but to improve
and bring baok to their duty those who
have gone astray. [Great applause ] I
repeat again the words of Gen Grant :
~ We cannot go to them, they must come
to us; but when they do come as improv
ed men, we must not repel them." More
than that, we must encourage them to
improve and come: [Applause.] Let us
make them understand that they have
only to do full justice to all the friends
of the Union, and that they may count
upon full mercy to themselves; that they
have only to come to us as men sincere
ly loyal to the new order of things, and
we shall meet them with the open hand of
welcome. [Applause.]
Let. us convince them that, although
we detest treason as heartily as ever. we
shall hail with shouts of gladness the
day when the rights of all will be safe
under the custody of all, and when the
last of the rebels can be—received back
into the communion of the loyal people.
[Great applause.] Let them be convinced
of this, atm I am sionddent that although
there mny be many who still, with dog
ged infatuation, ocntinue to hug their
old idols, yet thousands of the young
and vigorous, especially of those who,
during the conflict as soldiers, never
swerved from the way of honorable war
fare, will soon be glad to recognize the
opportunity to regain their own rights I
by respecting the rights of others, and to
serve their own interests by serving the
interests of all. [Great applause].
Let us • not indiscriminately condemn
the well disposed with the incorrigible,
and thus force them to remain all togeth
er as a class, but stimulate every germ
of good there is in them; give these who
are inclined to do right our generous en
couragement; put a premium on good
conduct, and pay it promptly. Via
plause.] Every payment thus made will
prove a good investment. And as we ap
proach the great consummation, many,
many of our late enemies wall be willing
to acknowledge that in being the true
friends of their country we were their
true friends. and that whatever may
have separated us in the past, common
interests must bind us together in the
future. Such a policy. far from endan
gering our ascendency, will only
strengthen our moral power. [Applause.]
It will not be a mere favor ext Wed to
rebels, but a service rendered to thepeo
ple. There is no way in which hirmo
ny, peace and general prosperity can be
better restored than by a policy calcula
ted to identify the personal interests of
the individual citizen with the common
welfare, and to enlist the energies of all
in the common gond. [Applause.]

Wanted---Xonng Men.
It is said that the market is overstock
ed pith non seeking employment, and
yet there is always a demand for intelli
gent, reliable, and, energetic men to fill
places of tript, and position. But they
must be ;timbers, not, only, of, the genus
'hew," but of the species "vir; ' for
such. there are always open places wait
ing-to be filled.
Who are the men that are needed in
this world ? Young men that will bear
burdens. We have enough mullen stalks,
we want oak trees. We have enough
mushroons, we want timber. We have
enough men that are willing to do any
thing for the sake of getting along, kb*
what are they worth? They are bridges
for men to walk over. They are tools.—
Men use them like sand-paper . , to scour
with, and then throw theca down and
trample them under foot. A young coati
that does not know how to say "No;"
young man that has not power to resist
the cup when it is presented to him—
what is he but a poor miserable wash
cloth, but a rag, dishonored, and put to
the vilest uses ? Who cares for him, or
mourns over him, but; some Christian
mother, or Christian minister ? But
a young man that know,s how to cal ,
" No; that knoire how to resist evil,
that knows how to give buffet for tempt
ation—is not he hardening himself? Is
not he making his bones tough—partic
ularly his backbone: He is becoming
columnar. And it is such as he that are
sought after in business. A - man says,
"here is a difficult appartment -in my
establishment, and I would - pay - almost
any. price if I could find- a man that I
could. txust." Says the man whom head
dresses, "I know an impracticable sort
of a fellow I think might suit you. He
will stick to what he thinks is right at
all hazards. You cannot turn him from .
it by any power on earth." Says the
other man, " I want a lignumvitse man;
send him tet4te. r T,,et, it be known that
a man cannot be cajoled;. that he will not
lie even for himself; that be will not
steal, and has a prejudice against steal

ple in him. and let us put him np at auc

Wan Abraham Lincoln woke, lawyer
in Illinois, he aid tho Judge once got to
bantering one another shout trading
horses, and it was agreed that ;the next
morning at 9 o'clock, they should make
s trade, the horses to be unseen until
that hour, and no backing out, under o
forfeit of $25. At the hour appointed ?
the Judge came up, leading the sorriest
looking horse ever seen in those parts.
Ina few minutes Mr. Lincoln- vr.as seen
approaching with a wooden saw horse on
his shoulder. Great were the shouts
and laughter of the crowd, and both
were greatly increased, when Mr. Lin

set down his saw horse, and. exclaimed,
"Well, Judge, this is the first time I
ever got the worstof it in a borse trade."
An editor of a paper informed his
readers that the ladies always pull off
the left stocking last. This, as may bt
supposed, created some stir among the
fair readers, and while in positive terms
they denied the statement; they insisted
that he bad no business to know it, even
if snob were the fact, and pronounced
him no gentleman.. He proves it, how-
ever, by a shori argiment: "When one
stocking is pulled off there is another
left on; pulling off this is taking the left
stocking off last.
