Virirtni LAWS.— We would call the peeial
attention of Poet Hart err an-J subscribers to the
Isqctasa to the following synopsis of the Sews
p&per laws :
1. A PoitmMter is required to give notice by
•etter , (returning a paper doe. l * not answer the law)
when a subscriber aoee not take bis paper out of
the ofica, and state the reasons tor its not being
taken; and a neglect to do so makes tbe Postmas
ter rep#*aibU to the publishers for tbe payment.
2* Anv person who take? a paper from the Post
office, whether directed to his name or another, or
whether be has eubecribed or not is responsible
for the paj.
3. !f a person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearage*, or the publisher uaay
continue to send it until payment is made, and
oliect the whole amount, whether it be taken from
the office or not. There can he no legal discontin
ueace until the payment is made.
4. If tbe subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at a certain time, and tbe publisher con
t u>ues to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for
it. if he take* it out of the I*"*t Ojfice. The law
prv>e*ed upon the ground that a man must pay
for ehat.he u^ea.
i. The courts have decided that refusing to tka
newspapers and periodicals trjm tbe Post office,
or removing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of iLtentiunal fraud.

THE WANTS OA' MAN.
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long."
'Tia not wiih me exactly so:
But 'lis so in the song.
My wants are many, ar.tl if told
Would muster many a score:
And were each wish a mint of gold
I still should long for more.
What first I want is daily bread
And canvass-backs —and wine—
And all tbe realms of nature spread
Before roe, when I dine.
Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell)
With four choice cooks from Fruute beside,
To dress my dinner well.
What next I want—at princely cost —
Is elegant attire!
Black -able furs for winter's frost.
And silks for summer's iire.
And cashmere shawl, and Brussels lace
My bosom's front lo deck
And diamond rings, my hands to grace,
And rubies for uiy neck.
* * * *
I want (who does not want?) a wife —
Affectionate and fair:
To solace all tbe woes of life,
And all its joys to share.
Of temper sweet —of yielding will —
Of tirm yet placid mind—
With ail my faults to love rae still
With sentiment refined.
And as Time's car incessait runs,
And fortune fills my store,
I want, of daughters and of sons,
From eight to half a score.
I want (alas! can mortal dare
Such bliss on earth to crave? t
That all the girls be chaste and fair.
And all the bovs be brave.
* * • * *
I want a warm and faithful friend
To cheer the adverse hour:
Who ne'er to flutter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power.
A friend to chide me when ill wrong
My inmost soul to see:
And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.
*-**•*
I want the seals of pow, r and place :
Tbe ensigns of command:
Charged by tbe people's unbought grnce
To rule my native laud.
Nor crown, nor sceptre would I ask
But from my country's will,
Bv day. by night, to ply the task
Her cop of bliss to fill.
I want the voice of honest praise
To follow me behiud,
And to be thought iu future days
Tbe friend of human kind.
That after ages as they rise
Exulting may proclaim
In choral uniou to the skies
Their blessings on mv came.
These are tbe i rants of mortal man
I cannot want them long:
For life itself is bat a span
And earthly bliss—a song.
My last-great WAST— absorbing alt—
Is, when beneath tbe sod,
And summoned to my final call, _
Tbe mercy of my God.

HOME.
Home's not merely four square walls,
Though hung with pictures nicely gilded;
Home is where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart hath builded.
Home go watch the faithful dove.
Sailing 'neath the heavens above us;
Home is wbere there's one to love,
Home is where there's one to love us.
Home's not merely root and room:
Home needs something to endear it;
Home is where tbe heart can bloom —
Where there s some kind heart to cheer it !
What is home with none to meet?
None to welcome, none to greet us?
Home is sweet, and onlt sweet,
When there's one ice lore to meet us.

PRESS.
The Tribne and Hour it is Made —lts j
Manager and his Assistants.
Here we are at the door of the editoiial;
room. Step within this little entry, and i
snap a small fpring fitted into the side of
the door casing. Before the distant tinkle
of the feeil dies away little Jonny Wein
heinier. the office boy, opens the door, and j
throws a auspicious glace at us from his
black eyes. We are in the City Editor's
room. The walls are covered with maps.
A perpendicular viaduct, for communica
tion between the counting, editorial and
composing rooms, with speaking pipes,
copy boxes, aud bells, runs from the low
cealing through the centre of the room, like
the succulent branch of a banyan tree. A .
small library of books relating to city affairs
leans against the viaduct. A water pail
and a tin jar of ice water occupies one cor
ner of the room, i'asie puts and inkstands
are scattered over the desks in lazy eonfu
aion. Bits of blotting paper and scores of
rusty looking steel pens are strewn about
the tables. A dozen reporters are seated at
a dozen small green desks. Some are wri
ting, a few are reading, and two are smok
ing brierwood pipes. The most conspicu
ous reporter in the room is Col. James B.
Mix, a man of magnificent physique, and a
genuine Broadway lounger. He is dressed
in exquisite ta-te, wears eye glasses, black
side whiskers, and a moustache, and has a
countenance that would create a sensation
at a Sorosis dinner. A small but stout
built man. with a rosy face and intelligent
gray eyes, ia >lr. Barclay Gallagher, the
Assistant City Editor. He has ri-en to his
present position from the composing room.
Zebulon White, with the pale face of a col
lege student, is writing up a real estate re
port Robert W. McAlpine, formerly an
editor on the Philadelphia /Vets and the
: Washington Chronicle—a .-mouth faced man,
who might easily be taken for an interpret
: er for the Chinese Embassy —is busily dash
ing off a New York Ittter for a prominent
Western journal. George W. Ptarce, the
i police reporter, a rosy compleiiuned, blue
eyed little gentleman, who seems as spry as
a circus rider, is hurriedly dashing off an
"Immense Robbery in Wall street," stop
ping suddenly to perpetrate a joke, and then
growling at the late hours assigned hitn at
police headquarters. Quinian, a thin, ebon
eyed, black moustached reporter, is accusing
Meeker, to active, smooth laced boy, fresh
1 from the prairies of Illinois, of borrowing
his paste pot, and Ralph, in a nasal twang,
| is retoitine by a counter accusation, iovolv
! ing the loss of a pair of scissors. Thatcher,
the weather man, the successor of the sage
| of Brooklyn Heights, enters the door, and
i in response to numerous questions, decides
I that it will rain within forty hours. The
Professor is an old man of about fifty-five,
' dressed in a seedy, snuff colored suit,' wear
ing a rnsty high hat, and a heavy soled pair
of shoes. For twenty five years he has run
the telescope business during the dead hours
of the night in front of St. Panl'a Church.
*'Eh? Mr. Young ? Yes, sir; he's here,
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY. DEC. 4- 1868.
D'ye want to see in? ' replied Jonny
Wt inheimer, iu answer to our inquiry.
"Certainly, if he U disengaged.
"I'll tell you iu a second.'
Jonny peeps thrpugh a small hole in the
ground glass of the door to Young a room,
then darts back to a match, safe hanging at
out side, and pulls therefrom two square ,
slips of'letier paper.
"Please write your naute on this paper
or, if you ve got your cards with you, they 11
do jis as well. I'll take eta in to Mr.
Young." ... ,
Our cards go in, and :n ten seconds we
are ushered into the presence of the Manag
ing Editor of the Trilntne. \ou glance at
John Bassel Young, and then gaze back at
Jonny, as if you thought he was perpetra
ting a joke at our expense. What! this
: blue eyed boy the Managing editor of tbe
most influential journal in America! You
; can hardly believe it. In personal appear
ance Mr. Young is the most insignificant
person about the office. He is light cotn
plexioncd. has a large, sloping head, thatch
; ed with brown hair, a clear forehead, and a
pr ininent nose, and is as quick of motion as
as| anowhawk. He is of medium height,
say five feet eight. His words flow from his
lips in rapid succession, as if each one was
struggling to get out of his mouth ahead of ;
the other. And this man has fli.-hed upon
the journalists of New \ ork iike a literary
comet. Twelve years ago he was a printer s
devil: when South Carolina sprouted into
secession he was a reporter in Philadelphia;
I one year more found him a dramatic critic
on the Washington Chronicle, six years ago
he was the Managing Editor of the Phila
delphia I'resr, two years after this he was
with Gen. Banks during the Bed river ex
pedition; next we find him an agent of Jay
Cooke's in 7.30 times. While at this busi
ness, in his leisure hours, he wrote editori
! als for the Tribune. They were unusually
spicy and argumentative, attracieu the at
;.ention of Mr. Greely and Sidnev Howard
Gay, and now that printer's devil is a news
paper autocrat —the peer of Statesmen and
a potent power in the land. At first sight
he appearscommonplace, but when you talk
with him, and partly fathom the depth of
that wonderful blue eye, and the decisive
cut of the nose aod mouth, you recognize an
impress of a peculiar intellectual vitality, a
fertility of resource, a quickness of compre
hension, and a nervous energy, that stamp
him as a steam engine among newspaper
men. His attire is neat, but not foppish.
He wears one of those little round topped
hats, with a small, circular rim, and this in
creases his boyish appearance. His room is
lined with books of reference. Bionze stat
ues and lively colored chromos occupy va
rious positions in tbe room. Young writes
by spasms. He pays strict attention to the
business details of the office. Every letter,
every bill, every rejected communication is
filed. He is able to furnish, at a moment s
notice, a filed voucher for every cent of ex
penditure during his administration. Such
strict attention to bu.-iness requires a vast
\ amount of time. But when a great nation
a! emergency ari.-es, especially during the
absence of 11. G., he throws himself into the
, broach with a characteristic energy, and tbe
columns of the Tribune are red hot with his
short, sharp, ringing sentences, until the
storm has passed. His were the stinging
editorials on the Philadelphia Convention,
his were the columns of invective poured
over the Impeachment renegades, his were
the fierce attacks upon the far-born move
ment to nominate Grant before the General
had defined his position, and his are the
showers of sarcasm launched upon John T.
Hoffman. The phrase "Impeachment is
Peace," is Young's; so are the words Let
us have Peace." He it was who called
Grant "a sashed and girded sphynx." He
it wu who wrote the brilliant book reviews i
on Buchanan's '"Defence of his Adminis- j
tration," Greeley's "American Conflict,"
and Richardson s "Life of Grant." There j
are no lazy hairs in his head; each one seems j
to be inspired with electric energy. As
Butler was the author of the "Contraband,''
applied to the slaves of rebels, so is Young i
the author of tbe word "Copperhead," as!
applied to the members of the Democratic ;
party.
While we are conversing the boy brings in
a dozen cards. First we have General But- |
ler. Out he goes, and i?ig. Blitz appcarg;
then follows John Allen, "The Wickedest
Man," with Oliver Dyer at his side; next
comes the Rev. O. B. Frothingham. and
after him Robert Dale Owen, both editorial
scribblers of the Tribune', Billy Edwards,
the pugilist, is bowed out, and Max Maret- |
Zrk appears; Gov. Ward, of New Jersey,
pays his respects, and Kate Field follows
suit —ail having business with this boy.
And a lively cirne they make of it for this \
blue-eyed boy. lie may thank his lucky
stars that he has a cottage at Spuyten Duy- |
vel, to which he can retreat when overbur- ;
deoed with the cares of office.
Young is a strict disciplinarian. He runs 1
the editorial department like a machine.—
Every cog strikes its groove with punctual
regularity. When h i* absent his duties .
fall cu Mr. John R. G. Hassard. If Has
sard is missing. Mr. Amos G. Cum ruing?
takes the manager's chair, and so perfect j
does everything jibe, that if all the editors;
were absent the oldest reporter, like the
senior sergeant of a company destitute of j
commissioned officers, would take charge.
An editorial council is held in the Man
aging Editor's room every day. between the
hours of 1 and 2P. M. Mr. Young pre
sides. Mr. I). C'. McEwcn, his private sec
retary, a stenographer, and one of the
witnesses in the impeachment trial, sits at
his side. The editors are seated about the
table. Mr. Hassard, a tall, straight gentle
man, with a light complexiou, blue eyes,
i regular features, sandy moustache, and side
whiskers, and legs like those of President
Lincoln, occupies a chair at Mr. Young's
' left. Mr. llas.-ard writes English as smooth
as the music of a rippling brook, ami fre
| quently dashes off an editorial article steep
ed in an original solution of humor and sar
casm. In addition to bis other duties, Mr.
Hassard does the musical criticisms of the
paper. Opposite him is Mr. Denslow,
j formerly Managing Fditorof the Chicago
liepuliiean. He ha.- a dark eye, a Napo
leonic nose, and a black moustache. He is
the only black-eyed editor in the office. His
opinions are firm-set, and, though his edi
torials occasionally conflict with the views of
Mr. Greeley, they are marked with deep
thought, and are carefully prepared. At
, the right of Mr. Hassard is Prof. A. J.
Schem, the foreign editor. He is a large*
smootb-faocd German, with c-yesof imperial
blue, and a bead broad and well balanced,
i somewhat resembling portraits of Bismarck
Tbe absence of a good growth of hair gives
it the appearance of a polished egg plant,
dead ripe. His eyes are full of ianguage.
He has a happy faculty of catching an un
conscious nap daring the composition of his
editorials. Mr. Cummings, the City and
and Political Editor, sits at the foot of the
table opposite Mr. Young. He is a pale,
thin, blue-eyed man of a nervous-sanguine
temperament, and eternally at work. Dur
ing the editorial councils he listens with
deep interest, and fills in the interstices of
time by drawing strange characters on the
paper before him. Originally a Douglas
Democrat, he now believes in God and
Horace Greclev. On his right is Mr. N. C.
Meeker, the successor of Solon Bobin-on
io tbe agricultural department. Mr. Meeker
is a thin, spare man, of an olive complexion
with light blue eyes, and a farmer's face,
hauds, and dress. His desk is usually
covered with patent rat traps, pumpkin
seeds, corn shellers, fancy potatoes, wash
ing machines, crab apples, cucumber bug
killers, and similar vegetables aud contrivan
ces Next to Mr. Meeker we find Clarence
Cook, the terror of artists and engravers.
So trenchant are his criticisms that artists
bave been known to run from him on the
street as they would at the sight of a mad
dog. Last of all at the table we find Mr.
Whitelaw Beid, of Cinciunati, the latest ad
dition to the force.
He looks like Theodore Tiltm, with his l
angular points rubbed off.
And this is the "Staff" of tbe Tribune.
When ail are seated Mr. Y'oung nervously
dances around his desk for forty seconds,
and then dumps on the table a basket piled
with manuscripts, memorandums and news
paper clippings.
Each editor is then asked for his report
of the previous day's labor, after which
suggestions from every one present are in
order. The meeting is then dismissed,
with the vo. 's; "The 'Crib, would lo"
very well to-da were it not for the poor
quality ot the paper tad the infiar .al press
work. I believe the ink is stiff. We must
bave book ink. Mr. Greeley will write the
leader to morrow morning, gentlemen. If
he dont, I will, That's all."
The editors pass out the door, through
the city apartment into the main editorial
room, and drift to their desks. In ten min
utes a half dozen pens are vigorously scratch
ing out ideas for the next day's issue. The
child is in embryo, and will be born in the
morning. Everything will move with the
regularity of clock work. Ihe editorial room
resembles a lurking place for owls; tbe ceil
ing is low, tbe floor is dirty: a dozen rickety
cane-bottomed arm-chairs, with high backs,
three cases, filled with books of reference,
ten old desks, sputtered with ink, two cab
inets, a chain, d copy of the Tribune Al
manac, complete, and a dozen old pictures,
gives an idea of a rushing business, with an
oceaisonal dash at the fine arts.
Let us look at the cabinet adjoining Cuni
miogs's desk. In the bottom drawer of
this cabinet we find a series of carefully
written obituaries of distinguished live men,
all arranged alphabetically, and in charge of
Dr. Wood. Tbey are curiosities in their
way. Here is a bulky one, as thick and as
long as your arm. It is "Peter Cooper. "
Here is a second—a Liliputian roll, small
enough to go into a needle ea.-e. YY e find
this labelled "The Life of Waiter. White
man." These obituaries are found valua
ble when the news of a celebrated person's
death is received at an early hour in the
morniog.
One word right here about editoriai life
in New York; A New York journalists never
calls on distinguished politicians or littera
teurs at their hotels. They do this in Phila
delphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis, and New Orleans, but they don't
do it here. Mahomet must come to the
mountain, for the mountain will not go to
Mahomet. This is entrenous.
Some people think and say that Greeley
is the Tribune and that the Tribune is
Greeley, There may be 9ome truth in the
expression. But one thing is certain, the
stockholders of the Tribune are aware of
Mr. Greeley's value. They have had his
life insured for from $50,000 to SI<K),IXK)
many years. Mr. Greeley is paid s<,ooo a
year for his services. This with his divi
dend of the profits of the establishment,
makes quite a snug sum. lie also writes
for a dozes magazines and weekly net
sapers, bes.de uecasionallv throwing off t
book and tnak >g strain politico' speeches
and lectures. One day you will hear of him
speaking at a Grant meeting at Somerviile,
N. J.; the next day he will arraign the De
mocracy at Ilouesdale, Penn.. next you will
hear of him at a temperance meeting iD
New York city; on the day following he wilj
speak before some tariff association: theo
before some agricultural society and will
top off the week with an address before the
Grant and Colfax Club at Chabbaqua, his
residence. And ad the time he keeps
end up on the editorial page. Greeley, with
out doubt, is to day the hardest working
newspaper man in New \orkcity.
FIFTEEN FOLLIES.
First—To think that the more a man eats
the fatter and stronger he will become.
Second—To believe that the more hours
children study at school the faster they
learn.
Third—To conclude that if exercise is
good for the health, the more violent and
exhausting it is the more good is done.
Fourth—To imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained.
Fifth—To act on the presumption that
the smallest room in the house is large
enough to sleep in.
Sixth—To argue that whatever remedy
causes one to feel immediately better is
"good for" the system, without regard to
more ulterior efftcts. The "soothing syr
up," for example, does not stop the cough
of children, and does arrest diarrhea, only
to cause, a little later, alarming convulsions,
or the more fatal inflamation of the brain,
or water on the brain, at least, always
portraits the disease.
Seventh —To commit an act which is felt
in itself to be prejudicial, hoping that
somehow or other it may be done in your
case with impunity.
Eighth—To advise another to take a
remedy which you have not tried on your
self, or without making special inquiry
whether all the conditions are alike.
Ninth—To eat without an appetite, or
continue to eat after it has been satisfied,
merely to gratify the taste.
Tenth—To eat a hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief time
it is passing down the throat, at the expense
of a whole night of disturbed sleep, and a
weary waking in the raoroing.
Eleventh—To remove a portion of the
clothing immediately after exercise, when
the most stupid drayman in New York
knows that if he does not put cover on his
horse the moment he ceases work in winter,
he will lose him in a few days by pneumo
nia.
Twelfth—To contend that because the
dirtiest children in the street, or in tbe high
way, are hearty aud healthy therefore it is
healthy to be dirty; forgetting that contin
uous exposure to the pure outdoor air in
joyous, uhre-trained activities, is such a
powerful agency for health, that those who
live thus arc well, in spite of rags and filth.
Thirteenth —To presume to repeat later
in life, without injury, the indiscretions,
exposures, and intemperances which iu the
flush of youth were practiced with impunity.
fourteenth—To believe that warm air is
necessarily impure, or that pure, cold air is
necessarily more healthy than the confined
air of close and crowded vehicles; the latter,
at the most, can on'y cause fainting and
! nausea, while entering a conveyance after
| walking bri.-kly, lowering a window, thus,
! while still, being exposed to a draft will
give a cold infallibly, or an attack of pleurisy
or pneumonia which will cause weeks and
months of suffering, if not actual death
within four days.
Fifteenth—To "remember the Sabbath
day" by working harder and later on
Saturday than on any other day in the
week, with a view to sleep late the next
morning, and staying at home all day to
rest, conscience being quieted by the plea of
not feeling very well.— Hall's Journal of
I Health.
Horace Greeley.
Bichard Grant YY'hite has an article in
the December number of The Galaxy upon
Mr. Greeley's Autobiography, in which he
says:
Horace Greeley has grown wonderfully,
even since we who are his juniors, and who
yet are mature men, have known him
through his writings; aud the mass of his
readers have grown with him. Like some
schoolmasters, be has kept only a lesson
ahead of bis scholars, learning to-day what
he taught to-morrow. But do not all teach
ers so? The difference between any of
them and him is that he has printed his
daily exercise, and called it "The New
Y'ork Tribune." Hence what are called
the vagaries and the vacillations of that
paper. They are merely the visible self
recorded efforts of a man who tries now
this, now that mode of attaining oce end;
and who says on one day, I have found the
way, come walk with me in it. and on
another, No, this is the road, follow; and
who is followed.
Mr. Greeley tells a story of himself that
is full of significance. One day at Cha
rnounix bis wife undertook with her child
ren to reaeh the Glacier des Boissons, which
he says seemed hardly a mile from the
hotel. She lost her way, and was obliged
to hire a peasant woman to pilot her back
to the hotel, and carry one of the fagged
out children. 3lr. Greeley laughed at her,
and volunteered to lead the party the next
morniDg straight up to the glacier ''so that
they might put their hands oa it. * "But. j
he says , "on trying it, I failed miserably. ' i
This is not the only dazzling point that has j
seemed to him hardly a mile off. and to
which he has offered to lead people—wo
men and children —so that they might put
their hands on it to morrow, and on trying
it has failed miserably. In which he is but
like all the rest of us; the wise, like you,
reader, and the foolish, like—one who shall
be nameless. But we do not make our ef
forts, as well as our promises in print, on '
paper, which, before the ink is well dried,
is under the eyes of fifty thousand readers. !
florace Greeley, however he may have
failed to do all that he sought to do, has
come nearer to the attainment of his pur
pose than most reformers do during their
lives. The country owes him much; and
one of its debts it will ere long acknowl
edge—does in some sort now acknowledge.
For if it be to him in a great measure that
we owe the agitation which produced the
. late rebellion, and if in the course of that
great commotion he offered, once or twice,
to lead us whither we and he wished to go,
and failed miserably, yet to him we owe,
in at least ss great a measure, the develop
ment cf that spirit which resisted secession
as well as slavery, and in the end, nndcr
more practical guidance than his, left us
i citizens of a great, free, and united country.
Twenty-five years ago the popular strength
and spirit which carried the Government
-afely through our tremendous political
| convulsion was as lacking as the moral
i firmness that withstood the spread of
■ slavery; and the growth of the former, no
less than that of the latter, among the far
j tners and the artisans of the Free States, is
I largely due to the teachiog and the in
fluence of Horace Greeley.
ANECDOTE OF WHITE FIELD.
When Mr. Whitefield was preaching on
one occasion at Plymouth, he lodged with
Mr. Kinsman, a minister of the town. Af-.
ter breakfast on Monday, he said to his !
friend, "Come, let us visit some of your
poor people. It is not enough that we la- j
bor in the pulpit; we must endeavor to be j
useful out of it." On entering the dwell-;
ings of the afflicted poor, he administered to !
their temporal as spiritual wants. Mr.
Kinsman, knowing the low state of his
Seances, was surprised at his liberality, and
suggested that he thought he had been too
bountiful. Mr. Whitefield, with some de
gree of smartness, replied; ''it is not enough
young man, to pray, and put on a serious
face. True religion, and undefiled, is this
to visit the widow and the fatherless in |
their affliction, and to supply their wants.
My stock, it is true, is nearly exhausted: but
God, whom I serve, and whose saints we
have assisted, will, 1 doubt not, soon give
me a supply." flis hopes were not disap
pointed. A stranger called on him in the
evening, who addressed him thus ; With
great pleasure I have heard you preach; you
are on a journey, as well as myself, and
traveling is expensive. Do me the honor to ;
accept this," at the same time presenting j
him with five guineas. Returning to the
family, Mr. Whitefield, smiling, held out
the money in his hand, saying. "There,
! young man, God has speedily repaid what I
bestowed. Let this in future, teach you
Dot to withhold what it is in the power of
yonr hand to give. The gentleman to whom
I was called is a perfect stranger to me; his
only business was to give me the sum you
! see."
VOL. 41: NO. 46
ODD LAND.
There is genuine wit in the following des
cription of Holland, taken from "Hans
Brinker, or the Silver Skates." It is a lit
tie piece of characterization worthy of Irving
or any of our best writers:
Holland is one ot the queerest countries
under the sun. It should be called Odd
land, or Contrary land, for iu nearly every j
thing it is d.fierent from other parts of the
world.
In the first place a large portion of the
country is lower than the level of the sea.
Great dykes, or bulwarks, have been erec
ted at a heavy cost of money and labor to
keep the ocean where it belongs. On cer
tain parts of the coast it sometimes leans
with all its wetght against the laud, and it
is as much as the poor country ean do to
staud the pressure Sometimes the dykes
give way, or spring a leak, and the most
disastrous results ensue. Tbey are high
and wide, and the tops of some of them are
covered with buildings and trees, They
have even fine public roads upon them, from 1
which horses may look down upon wayside j
cottages. Often the keels of floating ships
are higher than the roofs of the dwellings. ;
The stork, clattering to her young on the 1
bousepeak, may feel that her nest is lifted
far out of danger, but tbe croaking frog in j
neighboring bulrushes is nearer the stars !
than she. Wayrbagß dart backward and :
forward over the heads of the chimney i
swallows; and willow trees seem dropping
with shame because they cannot reach as j
high as tie reeds near by. Ditches, canals, '
ponds, rivers and lakes are every where to !
be 3een. High, but not dry, they sbinc in j
the sunlight, catching nearly all the bustle .
and the business, quite scorning the tame j
fields stretching, damp, beside them. One is j
tembted to ask "Which is Holland—the
shores or the water ?" The very verdure j
that should be confined to tbe laud has j
made a mistake and settled upon tbe fish j
pouds. In fact, tbe entire country is a kind j
of saturated sponge, or, as the poet (.Butinrj !
called it, —
"A land that rides at anchor and is moor'd,
la which they do not live, but go aboard."
l'ersons are born, to live and die. and even
have their gardens on canal boats. Farm
houses. with roofs like great slouched hats
pulled over their eyes, stand on wooden legs
: with a tucked up sort of air, as if to say,
"We intend to keep dry if we can." Even
the horses wear a wide stool on each hoof to
i lift them out of the mire. In short, the
j landscape everywhere suggests a paradise
; for ducks. It is a glorious country iu sum
mer for bare-footed girls and boys. Such
wadings! Such mimic ship sailing! Sucb
! rowing, fishing and swimming I Only
' think of a chain of puddles where one can
launch chip boats all day long, and never
: make a return trip ! But enough. A full
recital would set all Young America rush
ing in a body toward the Zuyder Zee.
I WISH 1 HAD CAPITAL.
So we heard a great strapping young man
exclaim the other day in an office. We did
j want to give him a peiceof our mind so bad;
and we'll just write to him. You want cap
ital do you ? And suppose you bad what
you call capital what would you do with it ?
You want capital? Haven't you hands and
brains, and don't you call them capital?
i What more capital did Gok give any body?
j "Oh, but they are not monev," you say.
But they are more than inoney," and no
body can take them from you. Don't you
know how to use them? If you don't it's
time you were learning. Take hold of the
first plow, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad
axe that you can find, and goto work. Your
; capital will soon yield a large interest. Ay,
i but there's the rub! You don't want to
j work; you want credit, that you may play
I gentleman and speculate and end by play
i ing vagabond.
Or you want a plantation with plenty of
hirelings upon it to do the work, while you
run over the country and dissipate; or want
some rich girl who may be foolish enough
j to take you for your good looks, that she
\ may support you.
Shame on you man! Go to work with
the capital you have, and you'll soon make
interest enough upon it to give you as much
money as you want and make you feel like a
man. If you want to make money or can't
make money on what capital you have, you
could not tuake it if you Lad a million of
dollars in money. If yen dor, t know how
to use bone and muscle and brains you
would not know bow to use gold. If you
let the capital you have lie idle, and waste
and rmt out, it would be the same with you
if you had gold; youwould only know how
to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle, a great help
less child waiting for somebody to come in
and feed you, but go to work. Take the
first work you can find no matter what it is,
so that you may do it well. Yes, whatever
you undertake do it well; always do your
best. If you manage'thc capital you already
have, you will soon have plenty more to
manage; but if you can't or won't manage
the capital God has given you, you will
never have any other to manage. Do you
hear that young taan ?
GO TO SLEEP EARLY.
Many children, instead of being plump
and fresh as a peach, are as withered and
wrinkled as last year's apples, because they
dn not sleep enough. Some physicians
think that the bones grew only during sleep
This I cannot say, certainly; but I do knot*
that those litt'e folks who sit up late at
nights are usually nervous, weak, small, and
sickly. The reason you need more sleep
than your parents is because you bave to
grow, and they do not. They can use up
the food they eat in thinsing, talking, and
working, while you should save some of
yours for growing. You ought to sleep a
great deal; if you do not, you williu activity
consume all you eat, and have none, or not
enough to grow with. \ ery few smart
children excel, or even equal, other people .
when they grow up. Why is this? Because i
their heads, if not their bodies, are kept too j
busy; so that they cannot sleep, rest, and j
grow strong in body and brain. N'ow, when ;
your mother says, Susie or Georgia, or
whatever your name may be, it is time to
go to bed do not worry her by begging to sit
up "just a little longer." But hurry off to
I your chamber, remembering that you have
a great deal of sleeping and growing to do
to make you a healthy, happy, useful man
! or woman.
