FRIDAY. MARCH 6. 1SGO FOK GOVEKNOU. JNO W GEARY, Subject to the decision of the alepublicnn Slate Convention. THE INAUGURAL. The inaugural of Geu Grnnt, delivered on taking tho oath of office ns President of tho United States, Till be read w.rh pleasure by all who confidently looked to hi in as the vindidator and supporter ot the great principles of the party which elected him to his proscut position. lie starts out boldly by saying that lie did not seek tho Presidential office, which is the truth. The President next alludes to the necessity of collecting the revenues and harvesting the publio resources, declaring in the same ron. nection thut ho will not admit any but competent and honest men iu the public service. If he succeeds iu this, he need do no more to render his countiy immense service ; and if he rids the revenue service of the thieves who sre now fattening on it, and declines to appoint men as bad in their stead, be will not have Glicd half his first term until the reduction of our debt and taxation will astonish the world. For the payment of that debt the President pledges himself, emphatically declaring that every dollar of it must be met. The ease of the Indian tribes is discussed iu a manner which will result in legislation ultimately to admit , them all to citizenship of the United States. Of suffrage he speaks as follows : .The question of suffrage is one which is likely to agitate the public attention so long as a portion of the citizens of the nation arc excluded from its privileges in .my State It seems to me very desirable that this question should bo settled now, and I en tertain the hope and express the desire it may be by the ratification of the fiiiecntli article of the amendment to the Constitu tion. In couelu.-ion, I atk patient forbearance, one towards another throughout the. land, and determined effort on the par' of every citizen to do bis share towards ei nieiiting a happy union, and I usk the prayers of the nation to Almighty God in behalf of thi.s COUMlUHU'-ltioQ.

About two dozen gentlemen were present . among whom were nearly all tho nieinbris of the General's staff, Representative Hcb ertsou, Gen. Logan und one or two j ersonal friends of Gin. Grant. The whole affair did niit occupy inure than twenty iniuuiis. After the usual courtesies, Senator .Morton, on behalf of the Committee, said : REMARKS Of SENATOR MORTOX. Gkxkual: The Joint Committee, up pointed by the two Houses ut Congress visit, you, tliis morning tu notify )uu officially ihaty)uhave beeu elected President of 1 lie United States for the term of four years from the 4lli tf March next. 'J lie great majority of ynnr countrymen hail your election with delight, while cveu those who did not support you tit the pull enter tuin lor you the highest coiiCdeucc and re Fpect. The friends of our country and the friends of liberty throughout the world re joice at your elevation to the Presidency, and all believe thut you will bring to the performance of your duty unalloyed pa triotism, inflexible integrity, great powers of iutellect and all the high qualities thut enabled you to achieve such distinguished success io another sphere of duty.

Senator Morion, then handed the oGicial notification to Gen, Grunt, of which the following, is a copy : Re it known that the Senate and House ot Representatives ot the United States of America, being assembled at the Capitol iu the City of Washington, on the second Wednesday, being the 10th day of Febru. nry, in the year of our Lord 18G9, the underwritten President of the Senate, did, io presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certihcates, and count all the votes of the electors foi a President aud Vice President, by which it appears that Ulysses S. Grant was duly elected, agreeably to the Constitution, President of the United States, for four years, commencing on the 4th day of March 18C9. Id witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, sod affixed the seal of the Senate, this 10th day of February, IS GO. li. F. WADE, President yro irm. of the Senate Gen. Grant, on receivieg this certificate made the following response, ipeakiug very deliberately ind with evident embarrass ment : REPLY OF GEN. GRANT. I can promise the Committee that it will be my endeavor to call around me as assistants, such men ouly as I think will carry out the principles which you have said the country desires to see successful 1 economy, retrenchment, faithful collection of the revenuo nnjl payment of the public debt. It I should fail in my Cist choice, I shall uot at any time hesitate to make a second or even a third trial, with tho concurrence of tho Senate, who have the eoiifirini.ig power, and should Just as soon remove one of my own appointees ns tho appointee of my predecessor. It would make uo d;ffor. ence. Thcro is one matter ihat I might prop erly speak of here, and that, is the selection of a Cabinet. 1 have always felt that it would be rather indelicate to announce or even to consult with the gentlemen whom I thought of inviting to-positions in. my Cabinet, before the official declaration ol the election w3 made, Althotmh I pro surned that there- was no doubt about what that declaration would be, but after con sideration I have come to tho conclusion that there is not a man in tho country who could be invited to a placo in tho Cabinet without friends of some other gentleman niaking an e ffort to sewiire the position ; not that there would bo any objection to the party named, but that there would bo oth eis whom they had set their hearts upon having iu the place, lean tell that from the great number of requests which come to me, in writing and otherwise, from this particular person or that one, from diffier ent sets and delegations. Il announced iu advance efforts would be made to change my determination, and therefore I have come to the conclusion not to announce who I am going to invite to seats in the Cabinet until I send iu their names tothe Senate for confirmation. Iff say anything to them abont it, it will certainly not be more than two or three days, previous to sending in their names. 1 think it well to make a public decoration of this to the Committee, so that my iutentious may be kuowu." A Little Peak. In the olden time before Maine laws were invented, Wing kept the hotel at Middle Granville, and from his well stocked bar furnished ae comiiiodatioiis lor man and beast, lie was a good landlord, but terribly deaf. Fish the village painter, was afflicted iu the same way. One i'ay they were sitting by themselves in tho bar room. Whig was behind the UoiV,;!l wailing for the next customer, while Fish was lounging before tho fire, with ii thirsty look, easting sheep's eyes occasionally at Wing's decanters, and wish ing devoutedly that some one would come iu aud tieut. A traveler from the south, on his way to Uraudon stepped in to inquire the diss tai:ee. Going up to old Wing he said : ' Can you tell me, sir. tow far it is to Uruudou '! " " Hrandy,-' says the ready landlord, jumping up. ' Yes, sir, I baVe some," at the same time hauding down the de canter of the liquid ' You misunderstood me," says the stranger; " I asked you how far it was to H.andon." - They call lit pretty aood brandy, says ",p " ?ou ,a'ie 8gl" sugar with it ? " reaching out, as be spuke, lor the howl and toddy stick. The despairing traveler, hoping for a proper answer, now turned to Fish. ' The landlord," said he," seems to be dr.f ; will you tell me bow lar it is to ilrandon ? " " Thank vou." said Fish ; " T .Im.'r cure if I do take a drink with you I " iuc stranger treated and fled.

The printers who foimerly stuck typs at the side of Horace Greeley have died out of the office, aud Horace himself, though a practical printer, rarely visits the com. posing room. The last time the writer saw him ut work in the composing room was at threo o'clock iu the morning following President Lincoln's election, when ho ran his eye over the type of the New York election table on the editorial page, and suddenly cried out : " Here, Sum, bring me a bodkin ; Rome d d fuol has spelled Allegauy with au " h."

To the lackadasical youth with an inner consciousness of fitness for a " great life mission' we particular commend the fol lowing sensible advice : " It is easier to be a good business man than a poor one. Half the energy dis played in keeping ahead, that is required to catch up when behind, will save 'credit, give more time to business, and add to the proGts and reputation of your word. Honor your engagements. If you promise to meet a man, or do a certain thing at a certain moment, bo ready ut the appointed time. If you have work to do, do it at oucc, cheerlully, and therefore mora speedily and correctly. If you go on business, at tend to the matter promptly, r.nd then, as promptly go about your own business. l)o uot stop to tell stories in business hours. If you have a place of business be found there when wanted. No man can get rich by sitting ntouud stores and saloons. Never "fool" on "business matters. If you huvo to labor for a living, remember that one hour in the morning is better than two at right. If you employ otheis. be on liana' .to see that they attend to their duties, and to direct with regularity, promptness, liberality. Do not meddle with any busi ness you know nothing of. Never buy any article simply because the man who sells it will take it out iu trade. Trade is money. Time is money. A good busi ness habit and reputation is always money Make your place of business pleasant "and attractive ; then stop there to wait ou eus. tonic rs. Never uso quick words or allow yourself to make uncntlcmanly remarks to those in your employ ; for to do so lessens their respect for you and your influence over them. Help yourself, and others will help you. Be faithful over the interests coulided to your keeping, and in all lto-hI time your responsibilities will be increased lo not be in too great haste to get rich. Do not build until you have arranged und laid a good inundation Do not as you hope or work for success spend time in idleness. If your time is your on, bus!, iicsscd will suffer if you do. If it is given to another for pay, it belongs to him und you have no more ri.'lit to steal that, than to steal money. Be obliging. S.rive to avoid harsh words and personalities. Do not kick every stone in the path ; more miles can be made iu a day by g"ing steadily on than by stopping to kick. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he docs his bond. Ask, but never beg. Help others when you cau, but never j;ive wl en you cannot afford to, sim ply because it is lashionablo. Learn to .-ay no. No necessity of snapping it out dog fashion, but s:n it firmly aud respect fully. Have bat few roiijiitantex, nud the fewer the better. lTsc your own brains rather than those of others. Learn to think 'and act for yourself, lie honest. Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than be hind the times. Young men, cut this out and ii there is tolly iu the argument let us know." A Wor.D to Mont sits. Each mother is a historian. She writes not the history of empires or or nations on paper, but she writes her own history on the imperishable mind of her child. That tablet hnd that history will remuiu indelible when time shall be no more. That history each mother shall meet again, ami lead wii.li eternal joy or unutterable- grief, iu the coming ages of eternity. The thought should weigh on the iirud of every mother, and render hc-r deeply circu'jspcct, prayer fill and faithful in her sole inn work of training up her children for heaven and immortuli y. The minds of children arc very suseepti. ble and easily impressed. A word or look or frown, may engrave an impression on the miud of a child which no lapse of time can elface or wash out. You walk along the seashore when the tide is out, and you form characters or write names or words iu smooth white sand, which is spread out so clear aud beautif ul at your feet, according us your fancy may dictate ; but the return-ir-i; tide shall iu a lew hours wash out and efiaco all that you have written. Not so the lines atid characters of tiuth and trior which your conduct imprints ou the mind of your child. The.e jou write impressions for the everlasting good or ill of your chil dren, which neither Hoods nor s'orms of earth can wash out, nor death's fingers erase, nor rhe slow-moving ages of eternity obliterate. How careful, then, should each mother be iu her treatment of her child ! HoW prayerful und how serious, and how earnest to write the eternal truths which shall be his guid'i and teacher when her voice shall be silent in death, aud her lips no longer more in prayer in his behalf, iu commending hef dear child to her covenant God. l'hreuol ;u ul Journal.

If one gots to Bleep on the left side, the operation of emptying the stomach of its contents is uureliko draw ing water from a well. After going to sleep, let the body take its own position. If you sleep on your back, especially soon alter a hearty meal the weight of the digestive organs and that of the food resting on the greni vciu 'of the body, near the backbone, compresses it, and arrests the flow of .ho blood more or less.
