THE DRUNKARD'S immiLogv•iw
.{}ter the " Old Oaks► Bucket"
How dear to , my heart are the scenes, long
deputed,
Which fond recollection presents to my view;
The benders I've been on, the friends so light
hearted, •
' And every loved rum•hole my youthful days
knew;
The jolly companions who shared in my plea-
sures
When a lot of us youngsters . wen) festive and
gay;
But nearest and dearest of memory's treasures
Was a little pad bottle kept hid in the hay—
A little brown bottle, a smooth, shiny bottle,
A warm-hearted bottle I hid to the hay,
And sell I remember when, homeward return
ing,
At midnight's hour from a frolicsome , spree,
lily inward arrangements with hot fever burn
leg,
What a fountain of strength it-has proven to
me! -
Its comforting presence has proved my salva
tion
Thro' many a wearisome, hot summer day.
It has stood at my side amid toil and privation,
' And I owe it a debt I can neverrepay
-That little brown bottle, that smooth, shiny
That warm-hearted bottle I hid in the hay.
Full often I think of the glorious seasons
Spent gambling and drinking when I was a
lad, •
How I used to get tipsy, and how, for there
reasons, -
I was Bogged half to death by my wicked old
dad.
Yet little I cared for the shame. or the sorrow,
lint meekly endured it, with nothing to say,
So long as I secretly managed to borrow •
Itelierfrom that bottle kept hid in the hay—
That little brown bottle, that smooth, shiny
bottle,
That warm-hearted bottle kept hid in the
hay.
And well I reinember when, young and. arubi
boas,
I used to go courting a sweet ,
little miss;
And [fancied my prospects were very propitious,
So I reveled in dreams of moat exquisite bliss.
But my " cake turned dough " when she found
out my failing,
And quick I learned, to my grievous dismay,
She'd conceived a dislike which no art of pre.
railing,
Or cunning excuses could argue away ;
For she'd beard of that bottle, that little brown.
bottle,
. That smooth, shiny bottle kept hid in the hay.
But now I am old, and despised, and forsaken;
And all my old comrades are planted in earth.
Ah I never again on my ear shall awaken
Their jubilant shouts of hilarious mirth:
The deep sense of loneliness over me stealing,
No wife, friend, or kindred may banish away;
No hope the dark future for me is revealing,
Yet I find a sweet solace, in life's closing da•,
In &little brown bottle; a smooth, shiny bottle,
A warm-hearted bottle kept hid in the bay.

ANECDOTES OF PIII3LIO MEN.
BY • COL J. W. FORNEY.
Sombre manners do not always
prove the statesman. The greatest
men I ever knew were plain of epee&
and plain of dress. 'Even those who
could tell a good story relished one
from others. - The clearest logician
in the days , of Jackson and Van nur
en was Silas Wright,who was strange
ly modest and unobtrusive. Henry
Clay, haughty and imperious as, he
often was, delighted in anecdote.
The unequalled Webster was too
wise and sensible not to enjoy humor.
John C. Calhoun was almost child
like in his way?. William-Wirt was
ambitious, and literally revelled in
the flowers of literature. John Quin
cy Adams was too thorough a master
of diplomacy not to knew the value
of wit. No man now living, either
at home or abroad, more keenly en
joys music, painting, .and poetry,
and talks better about them, than
Charles Sumner. His tastes are re
fined, his ho spitalities generous, and
his plate, pictures, and engravings
rare; and he could pronounce as
learned a discourse-upon art as upon
politics. There are not many wits
m Congress at the present da y. If
you exclude Nye, of Neiada, in the
Senate, and Proctor Knott,
inof Ken
tucky,, the House,yoa will 'perhaps
sigh for such old-time men as James
Thompson, of -Pennsylvania, and
Jack Ogle, of the same State; Mike
Walsh, of New York; Felix Grundy
McConnell, of Alabama; Wm, H.
Polk, of Tennessee, and Sergeant S.
Prentiss, of Mississippi. All these
are dead but Thompson, who 'no*
presides over the S upreme Court of
Pennsylvania,enjpying the confidence
of men of all pates. It used to be
a 'saying that the laugh ,of James
Thompson, of Pennsylvania, was the
most infectious laugh in the House.
He could not sing, but be was a cap
ital story-teller; and to-day, when he
unbends his judicial dignity; he can
bring back the men of the past more
Vividly than any other man I know,
except, perhaps , Senator Cameron,
whose memory is surprisingly tena
cious, Thompson, like Cameron, was
in early life a printer, and, I believe,
the apprentice of Cameron. I recol
lect well the pleasant evenings I
spent while he was,a member of Con
pm, with winning, magnetic Jack
Ogle, from my native: State. How
rapidly, between, the stories of the
one and the songs -of the other, time
passed away! gle had two favor
ites, one the famous poem entitled
"Jeannette and Jeannot, ' which
ought to have been often sung during
the recent war between France and
'Germany. I shall never forget the
• effect produced by his exceedingly
handsome face, ranging voice, and
flashing eye, as he rolled forth these
simple stanzas They deserve to be
repeated in every household in the
civilized world in this era of ap
proaching-peace and fraternization.
Excuse me for revivis' g them. •

The other was a piece of domestic
poetry, known as"-The Arkansas
Traveller." This would have been a
monotonous recitation if it had not
been relieved by a violin aooompani
nrent which made it irresistibly com
ic. It was no doubt borrowed from
'the extreme South, whence it derived
its name, yet it was always a favorite
among the Scotch-Irish of " Western
Pennsylvania, and is doubtless to
this diy recited along .the Juniata,
the West Branch, -and in °Lancaster
and Chester counties, in fact, wher
ever the Irish Presbyterian - element
is to be found; Ogl e has caught-the
idea and utilized it. in hip Congress
ional campaiqns, Ind it iras really a
treat to'see lam drawn up to his fall
height playing the air on the violin,
and thenSakin' g humorous questions,
as follows: _
"Stranger, how far to the next
tavern?"
"About a mile" was the reply;
then again resuming his, bow would
play the monotonous chorus, and
continue the dialogue:
"Stranger, can you give us the
other part of that tune?"
"Oh, yea!" and then repeat pre
cisel,y the same strain. In addition
to the provided words of the song,
Ogle during his performance would
introduce ev ery person present and
every joke in his recollection, and
thus wotild run through interminable
length, tiring nobody except the
chief actor himself, who would finally
drop his instrument out of sheer ex
haustion.
So true it is that work without
amusement is a sure preparation for
death; that the brain, like the body,
Must have rest, and that when either
is overworked, it is like the taper
that goes out for want of oil. There
is no sight more painful than the in
cessant occupation of public- men,
whether statesmen, scholars, editors,
railroad officers, divines, or mechan
ics; iillo,misled by the fatal idea that
a labor of love may bo pursued with
out pause, or repose, discard - all 're
laxation and end either in sudden
death, or what is worse, piemiture
decay. There is nit class of what
may be called public men who live_ a
longer average life than the actors,
and why? Because, however hard
they may work, they alternate work
with pleasure. In fact, their work
itself is a pleasure. The_ philosophy
of it consis•s perhaps in the romance
of their profession that while they
are personating the past and derec
taring art th‘y are separated -from
the hard realism of the outer world;
but whatever it may be, we are
taught one lesson—that no man ca
enjoy real happiness without occas
ional recreation and freedom from
care. '
Abraham Lincoln was a character
by himself, incomparable and unique.
He was among the saddest of human
ity, and yet his sense of the ridicu
lous was so keen that•it, was the ele
ment that bore him up irom difficul
ties that „would have briken down
almost any other man. That he gave
way. to uncontrollable fits of grief, in
the dark hours of the war, is a fact
beyond question that some lines
his countenance was clouded with
sorrow, all who met him know; and
yet he could, so to speak, lift himself
out of his troubles, and enjoy his
own repartees and the good things
of others. Nothing gave me more
pleasure in my frequent visits to him,
as Secretary of the Senate andeditor
of the Chronicle, than to take with
me men who would tell original sto
ries in an original way; for I felt
that if I could lighten his cares and
brighten his gloom I would be con,
!erring - a- real favor, and I never was
half so welcome [as when in such
company. The old quirks and quips
of the clown in the circus, the broad
inuendoes of the low comedian, the
quiet sallies of the higher walks of
the drama, interested him more than
the heavy cadencies and profound
philosophy of tragedy. Had his life
not been extinguished by the assas
sin, his rare love of this kind,his per
fect disinterestedness, his uncouth
yet entirely natural simpplicity of
character, and his absolute idolatry
of everything that was happy in na
ture and in man, would, I believe,
have prolonged his days far beyond
the Psalmist's age.

On the farm on which I served an

men who ever put scythe in grass
working for from fifty cents to four
shillings a day, in the longest days
in Summer. Yesterday I visited that
farm; I asked the men - who were
there what they paid men in haying
time last Summer, and they said,
from $2 to $2.50 a day. This was
paid on the same ground where men
worked forty years ago for from fifty
cents to four shillings, and took their
pay in farm products ; not money. I
have seen some of the brightest wo
men go into 'the farm • houses and
work for from fifty cents to four shil

ning and weaving, doing all kinds of
hard work. I was told yesterday
that many young women were earn

those who worked in houses were
getting from $2.50 to $3.50 a week.
To-day the laboring men and tvo.
men of our country are earning from

as they could earn forty years ago,

Marriage is at once a uaturid, a
civil, and a religious contract. To
regard it as a civil contract only is
sheer heathenism. For as a natural
contract it ,was instituted by Almigh
ty God in the day he created male
and female, and gave them to , each
other, and blessed them with His
word and fatherly benediction,in the
happy land where sin and , sorrow
and death were unknown. First in
order after the account of the old
creation comes that gracious scene
from which we learn the order of the
elements and constituent parts of
that sacred union, to which alone the' '
-Almighty gives His assent, to which '
He has attached the prosperity of
families and the goodief the whole
human race, and apart from which
the . precions name and idea of home
is simply impossible. It is a union
between one man and one woman
Only, - to the exclusion of all others
whatsoever on either side. - It is a
free and voluntary contract in the
true love of heart and spirit; she
chosen by him from all the maidens
of the earth rather than any other,
and he accepted by her in her right
of independent Choice, and •.leciSicm.
It is an indissoluble union never to
,be dissolved, but terminable only: by
death, who alone may put asunder
those whom God has j o ined. It is s
contract which brings duties and
responsibilities of the gravest descrip
tion. Such are the elements of a true
marriage, the life-long union of two
immortal fr 6 e tgs, a mutual love and
trust, om of d:mice and act,
andaccording to the kW of God for
fidelity to each other,for the founding
of a home and the sober maintenance
of domestic life, for the - salvation of

HOW TO 0010110 E EWES&
There are many young men who
are in the habit of excusing
_their
- idioms and inefficiency with the
plea that they can do nothing with
out capital._ The lack ..of means
.is
the ready reply they make to every
alipeal to action. They imagine that
they possess in Nieraselves all the
prerequisites to success but. capital
If the; only-had capital, in addition
to thaw own imagined virtues, th ey
would do_grut things-1n the world,
they would astonish the natives with
the boldness and .brillisiney of their
enterprise._ They would grow im
niensely, rich, and then lay the world
tulder perpetual obligations to their
gratitude by the magnificence of
their benefacticma This is the way
they think and talk, and they roll
the vain-glorious idea offer in their
minds until they become to imagine
that the world is an immense loser
by their poverty. - .
These persons forget, one impor
tant fact—that all capital is , the pro-
duct of labor. That nearly all rich
men in this country were once poOr.
That neatly every personal fortune
they can enumerate is either the pro-
duct of its owner's toil and skill, or
the representative of his father's toil
and skill..
How did the makers of these for
tunes get along without capital?
Had they 'spent the vigor of their
youth in idle and foolish lamenta
tions over their poverty, they would
have lived and died poor, 'and left
nothing but an inheritance of hon
esty d therm.- Capital allied to
labor and skill can work wonders in
the way of material enterprines, and
the man who possesses money finds
it easy to make money.
But capital is not only indispensa
ble to young men of the right stun
for all this. There are other kinds
of capital besides accumulated ¢mo.! -
nay; brains, muscle, industry,
,henes
ty, diligence, truth, fidelity, skill,
tact, .education—all these are capital,
and all of theni have a commercial
value, which the owner will be able,
sooner or'later, to command in the
market. Provided with these, any
young man in this country may make.
more than he needs' to spend every
Year, and thus have something at the
end of each year to invest as money
capital. If he needs money let him
go to work and make • it,. and thus
give proof of his ability to use it
profitably and.indiciensly. If we go
into any great city, or into any pros
perous agricultural district, we find
the capitalists are those who , have
made their fortunes without any out
side aid. They did not waste their
time in repining in their poverty,
and in silly dreams of what. they
could do if they had the money to
do it with. They went boldly and
resolutely to work; they toiled and
thought and planned, and - kept toil
ing and thinking and planning. pa
tiently, until at last they grasped
the fortunate moment, and in nine
cases but of ten they succeeded.
SHOW THYSELF A MAN.
Now, there are two courses, either
of which you can take. Oneis to say:
I am not living nor dressing so well,
as my companions; and I must have
fine clothes and better fare." The
other is to.sayrwith stern manliness:
"I have come here to make my way . ;
and honesty and simplicity require
.that I should not live any higher than
I myself earn the means of living. I
will be no man's pauper or benefici
ary. I will make what I take; and
what I make and take shall support
me." The discipliue which you get
from the latter course of self-denial
is better than going to college, Many
a man cradled in learning gets no
discipline; but a young man who hav
ing been reared and trained in self-in
dulgence, leaves his father's house
and conies to the city and says, ;"I
will be beholden. to no man; I cat
afford to live as plain •as any man
both in regard to diet and clothes, if
it is necessary - to my manhood, and
I will not have anything that I cannot
fairly earn; I will be independent and
establish 'myself " such a young
man getsa , discipline which is worth
a university education. By forming
that purpose and adhering to it, he
is educating himself in tie very ele
ments of manhood. He is - making a
man of himself. - -

Cannot do so and so," It is the carse

sequently belonged to' the Lenni-
Lennappe confederaey . of New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania, [which time
out of mind had warred with the Six
Nations and other New York Indi
ana. -
Concerning the great Sagamoro,
variously named Temane, Temanesid,
laminent Tameny - and -Wiumtuany,
who enjoys the distinction of being
the only American yet .-canonized,
many conflicting statements; have
been made. According , to one_ao
count, he was the •first man to 'wel
come William. Penn to,his new home
on the banks of the Delaware„and
long lived to enjoy the esteem acid
respect of that eminent Broadbziin.
Another Story locates his wigwam
upon the site of Princeton college,
in New Zersey; beneath whose vene
rable walls his bones are now sup
posed to lie, . ,
"A mouldering iu the grave.'
Again, his home is represented to
have been among the hills of North
eastern Pennsylvania, and he, When
a very old man, is said to have 'died
on a journey, and hien buried. - near
a famous spring in the county of
Berks, where so many of his worship
ers -now reside. But the most ap
proved tradition represents him Co
have lived many centuries before the
coming of the white man, and to
have exhibited in an extraordinary
degree, the qualities of a savagehero.
His character probably illustrates
the highest idea ever found among
the aborigines. He was a sort Of In
dian Job. , The bad Spirit appeared
unto him bodily, and subjected, him
to many severe temptations and per
ils. The adversary first sought,, by
means of fair words to gain a share
in the 'administration of hia lug
doni. Tammany, however was proof
against his cajoleries, and resolutely
refused any commerce with him. The
'enemy then resorted to strategy. He
'managed to bring upon the good
chieftain and his people many griev
ens afflictions - , and while his limbs
Were sore and his heart was heavy,
attempted to steal an entrance'into
the country of which he was' the pro
tector. Here he was again baffled by
Tammany, who comprehended and
checkmated all the devil's "sinful
games." At last, completely, losing
his temper, the Evil . 'One boldly as
saulted the great SAP em, and endea
vored to overbear and destroy him
by main force. „ Then transpired one
of the moat tremendous conflicts of
which any record has ever been made.
The battle raged for ,many moons,
and in the struggles of the combat
ants whole forests were broken.down,
and the ground so effectually tram
pled under foot that it has remained
prairie' land ever since. Finally,
Tammany, watching his opportunity,
and tripping his adversary, :hurled
him to the
.earth, and would', then
and there have taken his scalp; had
he not succeded, owing to the victor's
great exhaustion, in extricating him
self, and escaping over into . New
York, where he washospitablyreceiv
ed by the natives, and has ever since
continued to make it his home.
. ,
All these stories appear to have_
had this much of foundation that
the real, original Tammany, having
been a mighty brave among his* peo
ple, they so reverenced his memory
as to confer his name, by way of
honorary distinction, in much the
same manner we do that of Wsshing
ton, upon such cf their, rulers as af
terwardgreatly distinguished them
selves, and in some instances even
bestowed it upon white men.
The Tammany society was
. prima-
rio more of New York institu
tion
tion than the great Sagamore
self. Its origin is to be traced to
the patriot revolutionary army,
which, having nä patron saint to
tight under, after the protection of
Saint George was withdrawn to the
enemy, cast about among the coun
try's native great. men for some one
worthy of canonization, and natural

words of Sir John Coleridge'-great
opening speech for the defense otthe
Tiehborne trial, offered with calm
earnestness : .•
A great estate and an old and
honorable family await your" verdict.
.0n you and you alone, :depends
whether a young and noble lady - of
spotless character, and whether a
young child—too youdg, indeed, for
certainty, but of whom - all good
things may reasonably be' hoped—
shall enjoy that estate and represent
that family, crippled indeed by the
ruinous expense of this lawsuit,- and
by the falsehoods of the claimant,
yet still: an old and honorable family,
and still a great estate; ,or ' , whether
is
the estate to be wasted and the
family degraded by the man whom I
have described before in words I
don't repent of using—in words I
hive made good—in words I now re-
peaVas a conspirator, a perjurer, a
forger, a slanderer and a villain.
(Applause). Gentlemen, when Mid- I
icock lichborne came to die, in the?
time of Queen Elizabeth, . on . Tower
Hill, he spoke of the family of- Tich
borne as having lived unstained in
its place-in .Hamshire for two hun
dred years from before the conquest.
Three hundred years have rolled
away since the day of Queen Eli a:
beth, and the family of Tichborne is
still there; and the hopes of that
great and ancient family are centred
in the little child of whom I have
spoken. For him—whom I most in-.
adequately represerit oak your
verdict. I ask for no frivorl ask
for no-indulgence; I ask you only to
do that which is just and right, ac
cording to the strictest principles of

you will do what you think right,
because I have the most absolute
trust and faith in the honor,jaitice

the Queen to appear. First came
