Biographical Sketches of Prominent

HON. WILLIAM A. WALLACE.
For our thirty-fourth sabjoct we
have chorion Hon. William A. Wallaco,
Speaker of the Stato Senate, Pennsyl
vania, and one of the most careful and
judicious lawgivers we have. Mr.
Wallace m ol Scotch-! rink dcscent,and
was born in Huntingdon County,
Pennsylvania, in 1827, where hin fath
er wai a pioncor member of the bar.
and whero the first decado of William'a
life wat apcnl. In lROO) his father
movod into Clearfield County, then
wilderness, remote from canuU, rail
roads and nearly all othor civilizing
and progressive inalilutioim. In the
town of Clearfield, the county Beat,
wnoro lie lina "inlcliod Ins lout," he
continued the tiracticeof law f:rmanv
years, and William, when ho had ac
quired an academic education, at
about the ago of seventeen, commenced
thosludy of law with him, and was ad
mitted to practice in 1847, by his Jton-
or, Judge Woodward, limn president
of the Conrt of Common Pleas of that
District. After the completion of his
term of study, during; tho last rears
of which ho was thrown upon his own
resources, lie turned lug attention in a
spotial manner lo the study of land-
luw, ana was much facilitated by prac
tical experience in tbe county ollicos,
where. Lv the investigation of ilioren.
ords, he became familiar with nearly
all the titles in tho county. The
knowledge thus acquired was invalu
able to him after he was admitted,
and soon brought him a Inrcro land-
law practice. Ho practiced his pro
fession with marked ability and finan
cial aueeess fur fifteen years, without
Other ambition titan to y.I in mill
honor his calling, and lliul he succeed
ed in both, the Suprome Court reports
of the Stale will fully substantiate. In
tho arguments or many of his heavy
land cases, where nice Icgnl points
were in question, be htis exhibited lo-
gal acumen rarely seen on tho court's
records.
Ho married very younjr before ho
was twenty-olio a daughter of Hon.
Richard Shaw, of Clearfield, and has
been blessed with a family of interes
ting and proniising childrcn.
Ju InbJ, ho was nominated by the
Democracy for the Slate Senate, and
was elected ovor Hon. L. W. Hall,
tho then Speaker of the Senate, and a
impular man in tho Republican party.
;Ie lias been twico re-elected, and is
now in his ninth consecutive scesion.
In every canvass ho ever made he has
led his ticket not only in his own
county, but in the whole district, com
prising hvo counties, a mark of distin
guished local popularity.
At luo lime ol his induction to the
Senate, his parly wns in llio minority
in mui iHjuy, nnu nas neen uurmg ins
whole Senatorial career, up lo llio
present session ; but having that in
herent, indescribable something, com
posed mainly of will power, unwaver
ing integrity, clearsightedness, Indi
viduality, and the caution for which
his race is noted, ho soon became tho
acknowledged leader of his party, and
commanded the respect of all his com
peers of both (.at tics. In the dischargo
of his Senatorial duties, while keeping
in viow the interests of his immediate
constituents, he never forgot that
ho was sent there to deliberate on tho
interests of the people of the whole
State as well as of his own district,
and henco he persistently opposed un
wise nnd improvident legislation, go
ing upon tho principle Unit wo are loo
much jfovorned by expediency.
Jle wns a warm supporter of tho
system of educating soldiers' orjhann;
originated the resolution to rovisothc
civil code; opposed an incrcaso of
the rate or inlereBl, on tho ground
thai cheap money was essential to
the prosperity of the country and cs
pecially to the middle and poorer
classes, II. also opposed a change of
the law or evidence so os to give a
parly a right lo testify in his own
case. Ho was four sessions a mom
ber of the Judiciary Committee, and
of tho financo two years. Ho favored
th. free railroad bill, and opposed tho
repeal of the Conncllsvillo railroad
Iranciiises
In 18i5 the Demoerntio convention
selected him as the chairman of tho
State Committee, and give him tho lead
ersh ip of Ihe democracy in Ibatcontest
II o had not sought the place and accep
ted it ns a duty. The country was just
emerging from the war, and powor,
money and psrty patronage wore
against the Democracy. In IS GO he
was continued Its chairman by the
unanimous voice of his party, and
again, with unflinching devotion, he
bent his whole mind to the work, and
for the first time in many rears a sys
tematic and thorough organization of
the party was mailt). In 1X07 ho wo
again chairman, and by bis energetic
efforts and thorough work carried the
Stnto for Judgo harswood. In IHfiS
the party again demanded his ser
vices, and they were eivon with all the
vigor of his power of organization,
anil under his load his party in Octo
ber made the most gallant up hill 11 "lit
in its hUtorr. In all these campaigns
he enjoyed tho entire confidence of
the psrty. lo his high character for
NOT MEN.
personal integrity was duo, in a grout
measuro, tho ability to raise the funds
noccesaary to cany on these cam
paigna: lor under his management
it was eorlain lhat every dollar of
money subscribed would bo honestly
applied to the contest. When the
campaign of 1808 was ovor, the mi-
nuliio of tho organization of tho party
bad, under his skill, ul band, acquired
syslernnlio coherence.
At the convention of SCO ho re
signed the chairmanship of the Stale
Committee, but conlinuod his active
aid in reorganizing tho party. At tho
close of tho last session of the Icirisla
tare ho wne .elected os the Democratic
nominee for Speaker of llio Sennte,
and the usual courtesy gave bim the
re-oonnualioii, by a unanimous vote.
a'cCl.e openi.ig of the present session,
wiieu lie was elected by a lull party
vote. During tho past five years he
has wielded a greater influence on the
floor of the Senate in matters of law
than any member of the bnr of that
body. Ho has a very extorsive ao
qiiaintance with prominent motnbers
ol urn party in the Slate, having been
brought into direct communication
with more of its members than any of
me precoamg chairmen ol tho Slate
Central Committee; and he has fewer
enemies than any of his predecessors
either in or oulsido his party.
Mr. Wallace's political record is
without a blur, blot or blemish. He
has al stays been found on tho sido of
right, justice and equity. To economy
in legislation and the interests of his
party in the Stalo, and tho require
ments of the district he represents he
has invariubly sacrificed all personal
predilection, and not only voted con
scientiously, but worked assiduously
for tl. maintenance of cqunl and ex
act juttico to all. As a straightfor
ward, opright public servant he is re
garded by all who know him tn both
parties, and of his own party in this
State tbe acknowledged bead.
His personal character challenges
the admiration of nil good, conscien
tious citizens; unassuming, politely
dignified, firm in his convictions, and,
as tbe expression of his face indicatos,
unflinching in what be conceives to be
right.
lie is unquestionably ono of the ris
ing men of Pennsylvania, destined to
carve an honoied name on the
archives of tho nation, as ho has al
ready done on those of tho old Key
stone State.
A Good Illustration.
Ono of tho best illustrations of the
benefit of advertising which wo have
noticed was given some years ago in
uarnum t Museum, now lork. it
wns in tho afternoon, just preceding
tho exhibition in the grand lecture,
room, it.Mv Iivii iliuui.i.1,4. ' p. .
pie, of all ages, sexes, and Nationalities,
always throng every part of the build
ing. Ihe great showman, who was
present attending personally to tho
wants ol ins patrons, noticed mat .Mr.
A r, well known as ono of the
wealthiest men in A merit a, wns pres
ent, and that he appeared to he anxi
ously in search of some ono whom be
could not find. As ho was a frequent
visitor at the Museum, no particular
altonlion was given to the fact at that
lime, rauine nine enter, nuwever, air.
Gtirnum noticed him again in another
part of Ihe Museum, forcing his way
through the crowd, nml still evidently
pursuing his vain c;ii hes.
Wilh that spiri: "I iiccoinmodation

"Mr. Darnnni, I a'li discouraged.
I have been here more than an hour
looking for Mr. M , of Boston. I
have searched yoar Museum through

I know ho is hero, but to find him in
this crowd is impossibto. Can you or
any one else tell mo why it is that so

"1 here is nothing more easily ac

"Nonsenso'said Mr. A, r; "peo

' Well, indeed I am happy to learn
tho poople have such good habits.
But now, tcconvince you that you are
entirely mistaken; I will do a little
advertising for your own especial ben

change your mind m lhat point."
Thus saying, Uarnum stepped to tho
door of tho lecluro room, closely fol
lowed by Mr. A r. In front was

awaiting tho rising of tho curtain and
tho commencement of llio play. While

In a moment a man arose in the an

Higher Up.
This was Daniel Webster's brief re
ply to a you ngluwycr who complained
that the legal profession was crowded.
There is room "higher up," said tho
great lawyer. This reply indicates a
great truth, not only in tho profes
sions, but it all departments of indus
trial life. All departments of industry
are crowded low down among llio
uneducated, unthrifty, and unskilled
workmen, whilo thero is not half a
supply in tho higher departments of
head work or iiand-tvork. J rained
nnd fuithful domestics who will do
their work and keep llicir places from
year to year, command tho highest
wages, pet Iho best treatment, and aro
always wanted in still gcatcr num
ber. A wealthy family in Bo.ilon,
wishing to spend the summer out of
city, closed tbcircity houso, sent llicir
whole sorvant force to a good board
ing houso in iho country, continued
their wages, and paid their beard bills,
rather than part with them. And
Ihero are other pluccs "high up" who
aro ready for just such servants.
The boy at school who does every
Insk porfcclly, is preparing for the
fire I honors at tho high school and the
college, and steps naturally and confi
dently in tho places "higher up," in nil
the learned and lucrative professions
Tho apprcnlico or under workman
who docs everything which he under
takes promptly and well, is forming
those habits, and gaining that reputa
tion which will give him a position
"higher up," among tho master work
men of his craft, and a competence for
MtHnir .... J u:. r :lr
Hugh Miller, who has found a place
"higher up," among scholars, learned
his trade ns a mason of an old man
"who mado conscience of every stone
he laid." The wall built by uncle
David novcr budged or sell led, and no
boy in bis employ was ever allowed
lo slight the most unimportant piece
of work. The workman needs lo
'put conscience into his work' fur more
for bis own sake than for the sako of
his employer. To slight your work
is to Blight yourself moro than your
work. It keeps you in tho great
crowded nrmy of incapublcs whom no
body wants. In claiming positions
of honor, you mny "take your place
in the lower." lint in seeking posi
tions of useful industry, bit ihea down
in tho "highest room," nnd make it
certain that no man more useful than
thyself can claim thy pluco, being
moro useful, nnd therefore moro lion
ornblo than thou ait.
Live Within Your Means.
We don't like stinginess. We don't
liko economy, when it comes down to
rags and starvation. We have no
sympathy wilh the notion that a poor
man should hitch himself fast to a post,
and stand still, whilo the rest of tho
world moves forward. It is no man's
duty to deny himself every amuse
ment, every recreation, every comfort,
lhat ho may get rich. It is no man's
duty to mako nn iceberg of bimsolf, lo
shut his eyes and ears to tho stitl'er-
ings Of his fellows, and deny himself
Ihe enjoyment that results from gen
erous actions, merely that bo may
board wealth for his heirs to quarrel
about. But there ! art economy which
is every man's duty, and which is es
pecially commcndnblo in tho man who
struggles wilh poverty nn economy
which is consistent with happiness,
and which must bo practised if tbe
poor man would sccuro independence.
It is n I most, every man's privilege, and
il becomes his duty to live within bis
means not up to llicm, but within
them. Wealth does not make the
man, we admit, and should never be
tnkon into account iu our judgment of
men, but competence should always
bo secured, when it. can bo, by the
practice of economy and self denial lo
only a lolerablo extent. It should be
secured, not so much for others lo look
upon, or raise us in tho estimation of
others, as to secure tho consciousness
of independence, nnd the constant sat
isfaction which is derived from its ao
quireinont and po-scssion.
An Ai.liooby. Tho old man was
toiling through the burden and heat of
llio day, in cultivating his own laud,
and depositing the promising seed in
iho fruitful lap of yiel.ljng earth.
Suddenly there stootl beluro hi in, un
der Ihe shade of a huge, linden tree, a
vision. Tho old man wns struck with
amazement.
"I am Solomon," apoke the phan
tom in a friendly voico. "What arc
vou doing hero, old man f"
"If you aro Solomon," replied the
venerahlo laborer, "how can you ask
liiisf In my youth you sent mo to
the ant. 1 saw its occupation, and
learned from that insect to bo indus
trious and to gather. What I thou
learned 1 bave followed out to this
hour."
"You have only learned half your
lesson, replica the spirit. "Ho again
to the anl and learn to rest in the
winter of your life, and to onjoy what
you hare gathered up."

Coincidence of RiPtnrj, -
It is certainly enn of the greatest
nirioMtics in history lhat exactly one
thousand yraig ago, in tho ysar of
our Lord r70, the penplo of prance
aud Germany fought under their kings
upon the same soil, that of I.orrltil.o,
for very nearly the samo reason, and
with tho same result. This happened
as follows: Tbe empircof Charlemagne

Ltidwigl , culled tho I'iuus, was di
vided by hia three sons, I lie grands m
of l.'liaih'imignc, at the Congress
of Verdun, between themstdves in such
a manner that Lothairo received, bo
sides tho tillo of emperor, Italy anil
what was then called Middle. Pran
eotiia, a strip of land running from tho
North Sea to the Mediterranean, and
there joining Upper Ituly, a broad
slrip of land containing inouel u Hol
land, Belgium, tho Lorraine, the Alsace,
all thai part of Southern Franco lying
between iho Rhine and Sitone and the
Alps on tho east. Ludwig received
Eastern Pranoonia, which was trout
that lime called Gurmuniu, or Ger
many, and from which he, as Ger
many's firot king, was called Iiudwlg
tho German.
Curl, who wns called tho Bald, fiom
his bald head, received Western KTan-
eoma, or riunea. Lothuiro died in
b-i.i, and again subdivided his em pipe
amongst his three amis. To tho oldest,'
Ludwig, ho gavo Italy and tho crown
and title of emperor; to the second,
Loihairc, the northern part of his d'i
niiriion,icoinprllnre n part of intern
Holland, Belgium, and llio province
called lo this day Lorraine or Lotliar
ingen, the Alsace, nnd all the latiu tti
tending down to the Saono. To the

eastern part of modern Franco, ttnd
extending from tho Mouse lo the
Khine, and from Ihe Jiliotiie to the

down lo the Mediterranean. ' Ho was
completely successful, for his nephew

claim their share of rich inberituuee.

feated Curl tho Bald and his armies at

compelled to sign a treaty of poaeo in

Takimi Coi.n. Tho human frame
wns intended for activity lo run fast,
and lo run slow ; but it must be man
aged. A locomotive can run very
liiHt, hut il slopped instantaneously ,
when going at a high rato ol speed,
it is unjiiinted as badly as if it
had inflammatory rheumatism for
seven years. A skhiiuI engineer,
however, tones down his speed gradu
ally ; and in this bus tho whole secret
of not taking cold. It is exposure, or
carelessness, ufler exercise that brings
on cold. After walking, or running,
or dancing, or any exercise that
quickens the circulation, a littlo cur.
rent of air from a window, a crevieo,
from an open door, for a few minutes,
just lo cause a chill, is sure to produce
cold. Merely stopping on tho street
in a current of air as at a corner
where the wind breaks or makes an
angle will do Iho job. Any sudden
subsidence of active lorces of the body
in a temperature that chills will pro-
ducocohl. The. little common sense
that is needed, and for tho lack of
exercise which so much money is paid
lo doctors, is to preserve an equable
temperature, or, having exercised
freely, recover tho proper state grad
ually and without chill. This ia at
tained in a most simple and easy
mnntior. After exercise, always sock
rest in a sheltered place, where you
will be Warm ; never being hasty to
remove hat, gloves or capo. Let per
spiration subside beforo disrobing, if
indoors, and if indoors, always keep
gently moving until the usual condi
