DO SOMETNING:. It is truly a melancholy spectacle to see so many drones in the great and busy hive of human life. We daily see young men of education, and who possess more than ordinary natural gifts, lounging about as listlessly as if there was nothing In the boundles universe worthy of their attention. Row utterly lost to manhood are many sons of wealthy parents f No ambition, no hope, no ardent desire, ever spurs them on to leap from obscurity in to the broad daylight of lusting renown. Their lives, which should be full of noble achievements, are dawdled away in un holy dissipations. if such is to become the universal effect of wealth on the rising generation, It were far better that poverty should forever be the handmaid of our sons and daughters. In the name of common humanity, we call on young men to do something. Do not sneak from the cradle of infancy to the coma of oblivion without, at least, one great effort to prove you have not lived in vain. Remember that fame and honor are nev er achieved with folded arms and 'mas terly inactivity.' When the sublime wisdom of common sense taught Colum bus there was a new world, he did not preach his belief with Idle hands, and lack lustre eye. The wonderful discov eries In science and art were not made by men who regarded life as a holiday of idleness. If you would achieve fame, If you would win the applause of your fellow men, it you would gain your own' self-respect, then, in the name of all that k good and sacred, we call on you to go to work and do something. BEGINNING THE WORLD Many an unwise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose of leaving enough to give his children a start in the world, as it is Setting a young man afloat with money left him by relatives, is like tying bladders under the arms of one who can not swim; ten chances to one he will loose his bladders and go to the bottom. Teach him to swim and he never 'will need bladders. Give your child a sound education, and you have done enough for him. See to it that his morale are pure, his mind cultivated, and his Whole nature made subservient to the laws which govern men, and you have given what will be of more value to him than the wealth of the Indies. To be thrown upon one's resources is to be cast into, the very lap of fortune, for our fiscuities then undergo a development, and dis play an engergy, of which they were previously unsusceptlble. . C=E=l=l The following is from our attentive friend, J. H. C.,' of Clifton Park, N. Y. He has a rare budget of gooll stories, of which we have several ye on hand : "V was a member co . ; 'the Legislature of N. Y. when Marcy was Governor.— The Oov. gave a eper, and the legisla tors were his pleats. The repast was of the most stiniptuous kind, and V— had never before dreamed of anything so grand/The principal dishes being disposedof, ice cream was next in order for tif'e dessert. One of the waiters set a . rge dish of the delicious cream by e aide of N—'s plate, intending to dish it out at the proper time. In the meantime, V—, supposing it was in tended for his sole use, took a spoon and began to taste it. He was evidently die pleased with it, for he dropped the spoon as though shot, and called out, 'Waiter! waiter!' The waiter having approached, V—leaned towards him in a confi dential manner and whispered, 'I say, waiter, ,this pudding's froze.' There were few sober faces during the remain der of the evening, and the other honor able gentlemen were careful not to mis take ice cream for pudding. 11.. Ludicrous blunders sometimes occur , in cases where ignorant persons attemPt the use of language about the meaning of which they know nothing. Not long since, while traveling from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, two rather verdant specimens of the female sex came on board the boat at one of the landings, who for the sake of distinction, we will call Mary and Jane. Now, Mary, had her eye-teeth cut, or in other words, was acquainted with the rules and regulations which govern gen teel society ; Jane, the younger, had nev er mixed in society to any extent. Her language was such as she heard among her .rustic acquaintances. Mary was aware of this fact, add therefore caution ed her to observe how she (Mary) acted, and govern herself accordingly. Shortly after, while seated at the din ner-table, the waiter asked Mary what part of the fowl she would have? She Informed him in a very polite manner, that it was "perfectly Immaterial." He accordingly gave her a pia*, and then inquired of Jane what part she would prefer? . "I believe I will take a piece of the immaterial too." "AmELza, for thee—yes, at thy com mand, I'd tear this eternal fermament into a thousand fragurenta—l'd gather the stars one by one as they tumbled from regions of ethereal space and put them in my trowaers pockets ; I'd pick the nun—that oriental god of day, that traverses the blue arch of heaven in such majestic splendor—l'd tear him from the sky and quench his • bright effulgence in the fountain of my eternal love for thee ! Amelia"—"Don't, Henry, it would be to very dark." vmml:mt, SCITNE—A crowded hone 'car: First passenger. (To sturdy laborer standing in front of him :) "I say there, I've got toes!" Second passenger. "y-ea," (a gleam of hiteWgenee lightens his face,) "I felt 'em." WOODEN legs cost the government last year $86,21A50. Wooden beads cost the government much more then that. DIDN'T THINK Opening the door of a friend's house one day, I made my, way through the entry to the small back court, where Ned, the only son, was crying bitterly. "Ah, Ned, what is the matter?" "Mother won't let me go fishing.— Harry and Toni are going to the harbor, and I want to go." Here Ned kicked his toes angrily whist the post, to the great damage of his new boots. "Whose little dog is this?" I asked, as a brown spaniel came bounding up the garden walk. "It is mine," cried Ned in an altered tone. ''Did you not know• I had one?" "No, indeed. What a flue little fel low. Where did you get him, Ned:" "Father bought him for me. He Is so knowing, and I Lew him many things. See him find my knit ;" and Ned, wip ing away his Ulan+, t ew his knife into the clover. "There, 'Wag," d lie, "now go anti find my knife." \Vag plunged into the grass, and after a great deal of smelling and wagging, he came triumphantly forth, and brought the knife to his young truster. "(Ave it to him," Raid Ned, pointing to me ; and \VRg laid it at My feet. "This lea knife worth having," said t ; "four blades." "'Tis areal good one," said Ned; "fa ther gave it to me on my birth-day; and he gave me a splendid box of tools, too.'-' Nnd looked.up brightly and forgot his crying. "Let me think," said I. "Was it this knife that you hurt your foot so with?" "Oh no," cried Ned, "that was done with an axe; but I've got well now." "I was afraid you would be laid up all the spring." "Well, it was mother's nursing,* doctor says. Mother and father very great care' of me. It wail lonely staying in the house so; but mother used to leave her work and read to me, and father often stayed with me." "I should think you had very kind parents, Ned."

RADICAL NEWSPAPER VISIMPL The nevelittleitary hellos' eir Deihr yeas The following extracts from Northern Republican papers on the course and ac tion of Congress at this time, afford mat ter for serious reflection New. V. A Ft ctimq P , Af, nrp,l • * Mr. Johnson, by the choler of the people, is the Chief Magistrate of the nation ; is such lie is responsible for the execution of the laws, and has a dear right to choose the subordinates by whom the laws are to be euforead. He must submit his appointments to of to the oonfirmation of the Senate, but is other wise independent of Congress. The ten ure-of-office act, by which the Senatehas been made to control the Prealdent's power of removal, is not according to the Constihrtion. Mr, Stanton believes that it is not, and yet he avails himself of ibis law, which he says Is not a tonsil tutional law, which Is voidable and ills. organizing, to resume a placelu the Cabi net of President Johnson whleh he Sus been especially desired to resign. It seems-to us necessary only to state a case like this to a man who iespeets himself, to be certain of what his wurse will be. It is not enough to reply that a large ma jority of the member+ of Congress have signed a letter requesting him to resume the duties of Secretary of War. Members of Congress have nothing to do with the control of the executive de partment of the government, which, in all sound theory as iu the express letti4 of the organic law, it is desirable to keep distinct; and Their interference is as revolutionary as it would be to resolve the President out of office. If Mr. John son does not do his duty, If he refuses to execute tile laws, or execute thilo in such a manner as to defeat their purposes, the remedy for hitt-course is pointed out. It is not to invade the sphere of the ex ecutive functions by legislative entoaele ments, which will be a precedent for other times, but to impeach and remove him if guilty. But the plan offinpeach-, meat has been tried, and after ayear's Incubation It has hatched oat nothing.— Ashley's vggs.wcre all a)iffied ; and now an illegal course is to he pursued to attain an end which coulti not be attained by the law. Mr. Stanton is made the cats paw of this / dangerous and wicked policy. / - Whatever Mr. Johnson's designs may be, he ixtinswerable to the people ; and he isatitiwemble only in the way that the/constitution prescribes. Congress may. not like his individual peculiarities or his political principles, but lie is none the lees as much a part of the govern ment as Congress itself, and what is more, lie represents nearly as large a part of popular opinion as Congress dors. It may be distasteful to admit it, but it is true, that the political sentiments of the President have a large following--not among the rebels only, as the cry has It, but among the loyal people of the Korth. He Is supported in the most of his posi tions by the great opposition, or Demo cratic party, and,that support is extend ing and growing rapidly unddr the fost ering care of Congress. 'Thousands who have no liking for the President, per sonally or politically, who think that he has managed his opportunities with an utter want of tact and skill, and to the detriment of the public interests, are yet unprepared to see the established or der of the constitution assailed in his person, and all the limitations and bal ances of the government, which are the bulwarks of liberty, overturned in the hot frenzy of partizan zeal. From Me klpringiletti (.111aac) Sepoblinnw The only defensible reason for recon structing the Southern State govern ments w , the purpose to °outer suffrage on the eedmen, in order to the protec tion their rights. Those governments w • •• well enough In every other respect. this single purpose had ooutrolled in the matter, the process would have been eoinparatively simple and unobjectiona ble. But party objects were allowed to be mixed in. It witaAtiught it would be a good thing so to 6audpulate the Southern governments as to secure the votes of the reconstructed States for a Republican President. To accomplish . this the right to vote and hold office wg.s taken from all the Southern Whites who had held office requiring r n oath to sup port the constitution of the United States. This excluded at once from poli tical life the most intelligent classes in the South, and those at the time best disposed to accept any terms of reconcili ation that should be offered. This made reconstruction by the white population of the South impossible, for tbey natur ally felt that it would be dishonorable to abandon the leaders who shared with them the guilt of the rebellion. Reeow structlon was thus thrown into the Lauds of the negroes, led by a few North ern white men and Southerners who did not scruple to take any oath required of them. That they' should seek to retain 1 power by the same policy which gm e it to them Is a matter of course, and the first new constitution framed virtually excludes nearly every white man from suffrage and office. 111srao utterly inde fensible on any, principle of justice and equality that its. frittnere fear Its rejection by the registered voters, and are begging them to accept it in the hope that Coo greats will strikeout its objectionable pro visions.' The course of things in Congress just now does not tend to sustain any such hope. It Is essential to the programme that the whites of the South shall be in the minority, and the determination seems to be to put It through at all haz ards. The last remains of civil govern ments in the South are swept away upon the declaration that they are not "repub lican In form," though the forms are Just what they always have been. The false reason has some value, however, as show ing at least an appearance of respect for the phases of the constitution. But we have not come to the end of this busi ness; we cannot even see to it. The governments of the minority in the South, and that minority black, will and It necessary to he more and more repres sive, and will need a strong military force to maintain them. Is anybody so insane as to predict reconciliation of races, true republican or even moderately just government, and restored peace and loyalty se the result of such a system ? If so, about how soon? No, the system is fundamentally wrong, and will inevi tably wax worse and worse. And men are already asking how soon "political necessity" may lead Congress to interfere with certain Northern States and compel them to take the "republican form" of negro suffrage and white disfranchise ment.

A. 11. had a celebration of some sort at Madison, Indiana, at which General Nithan Kimball was one of the principal speakers. It appears that this blustering hero in his speech declared that any one who had been a soldier and does not belong to the Grand Army of the Republic is a traitor to his country and recreant to the cause for which •he fought. 'rhe editor of the Madison Free /Wee, who was:in the war, conies back at the doughty General In' the following severe but Just style: GEN. NATHAN KIVISALL.-1 3 41* geittle man whose name heads -this , artieJe Is making notoriety for himself. Pity, Geri- . eral, to sully a fairtrillltary retord by defaming those who may see lit to differ from you In politics. General, we under stand you to say that "any one who half been a soldier and does not belong to the' Grand Army of the Republic is a trotter to his country and recreant te-the cause , for which he fought." General Kimball, if you made that remark you lied, and you knew you -lied,wheu you made It.-- It Is easy for You, General Kimball, who entered the service as a Colonel, with the pay of $2 per month, well supplied with transportation and every luxury that your rank could commitud, with or derlies to put pp your tents and numer ous servants to do your bidding, and soon promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gen eral, to receive increased pay and greater emoluments, and then come home and receive the political office of Treasure.rof the State, to denounce theme whdcarrled on their backs what they ate, what they slept on, what they rooked In, and what they did their fighting with, as traitors because they do not attach thetuselvea to a secret. dark-lantern association. You ought to know, General, thit treason is the highest crime known to the law. You, in a public speech, take the opportunity to denounce as traitors those who prot,bly did a,-gond fighting as yourself. "These be hard wordsonas. ter." There was uo occasion for yon to thus insult those of us Who do not vote ae you do. And we here reiterate our as sertion, that If you say all soldiers who do not belong to the Grand Army of the Republic are traitors you are a liar, and coward if you do not 'resent it. You cannot make the excuse, General Kim-' ball, that we are unworthy of notice.— No such coward's plea as that will suffice. We had the honor of belonging to and commanding as noble a regiment of In dianians as ever left our State, and our record le too well known to ofthr such a plea to skulk off on. This is plain talk. The time has come when Democratic soldiers must no long er sit "with bated breath and whispered humbleness" and be denounced as worse than common felons. It has been ex pected that slander and abuse can be heaped upon us because we. do not sell our principles for the blanblahnients of those in place and power with impunity. We, for one, will hurt back such epithets and cram them arm's length down the lying throats that utter them. We could remind General Kimball of a little incident that occurred at Lexing ton, Indians, a year or two ago (In which our friend Colonel Tom Shea was en gaged,) when he (Kimball) was parading his sores before the country for a politi cal office, but we think what we have said will suffice for the present. - .
