mucn lauaed nabits ot tneir time, we
a a .
cannot discover some of the present
trouble?
Let us take a practical illustration
from actual facts of the past.
Eighty years ago, a young man and a
young woman of robust health, abound
ing in vital force and muscular strength,
full of ambition and enterprise, concluded
to become husband and wife.
Not to go further into detail, let us fol
low this young man and his wife. She
married, accepting her fate, and giving
her all into his hands. They moved in a
oae-horse cart from Massachusetts to
Central New York; their entire posses
sions having come from the wife's father
as her inheritance. The husband was
twenty-one, the wife twenty years of age.
A wild tract of Government land on
the banks of the Genesee was bought. It
was infested with wild beasts and wilder
Indians, aud covered with heavy timber.
At first they camped out, sleeping in
their cart. Soon a cabin was rolled up
and a clearing was begun. Twenty years!
after there was a fine farm here house,
barns, cattle, and horses, and there was a
family of twelve children, born of this
woman. We will let her tell her own
story :
" I worked night and day," she used
to say to her daughters. " I never knew
what is was to sleep enough. I never
had a nurse girl. There were none to be
had. I nursed you through measles,
mumps, whooping cough, fever and ague,
rheumatism every thing.
" We soon had a large dairy, flocks of
sheep, and great corn and wheat fields.
These required work hands to wash for,
cook for, and make beds for. I carded,
spun
and wove the
woo:
a
with which we
were clothe). I kuit the stocking and
did the seeing, and, as child after child
was added, "1 felt that I had more bur
dens than I cculd bear.
' Your lather peemed to work harder
than I. He bought wild lands, specu
lated, farmed, was a politician, a great
man, and never had a minute for his wife
and children. He built mills, drained
rivers, laid out towns, and when'my
twelfth child was born I was forty-five
years of age, and pretty well worn out.
We were worth thousands upon thou
sands, but wc had not one really brave,
strong child. Four of the boys went to
college. Two died young. Their father
said they should never work as he had
done for a living. They had all the mo
ney they wanted, and it ruined them.
" o,rs werc a'l housekeepers.
There were eight of them; but they all
seemed weak and good for nothing. I
thought father and I had worked too
hard. I knew I had. I noticed that
men raising stock uever 1$L their breed
ing animals, male or female, work hard.
" The girls and boys all married but
one, and whenI was sixty years of age I
had fitty-tour grandchildren, but only
three daughters left. All wore out young
and faded away."
We will end the story.
Not one son lived to be forty years of
a;re. One died a drunkard, one of dys
pepsia, one a terrible death of dissipation
and Fin.
Of the fifty-four grandchildren many
died rery young; but there still remain
of the descendants of this couple over
two hundred people, down to the great
greatgrandchildren, and of them all
scarcely one can be considered healthy,
athletic, and strong, among either the
men or the women.
The sins of the fathers have been vis
ited upon the children to the third and
fourth, aye, even to the fifth generation.
Whose fault is it if the fourth genera
tion of the women are feeble and unfit to
be mothers? This hard-working, over
taxed mother, . taught her eight feeble
girls that it was terrible to work so Iard
and have so many children.

Hon. A. G. Cnrtin for Vice-President
From the Franklin Repository, Feb. 12, lSGS.J
The recent spontaneous and positive
expressions of the Republicans of a num
ber of counties in Pennsylvania, present
ing the name of Andrew G. Curtin as
their choice for Vice-President on the
national ticket with General Grant, have
no common significance, and indicate an
ultimate unanimity of sentiment that will
carry the whole moral p'ower of our great
State to. Chicago to urge his nomination.
It is most natural that such expressions
should come from the faithful citizens of
the State, and coming as they do from
the hearts of the people rather than from
systematic political effort, they indicate
an earnestness to which the coming State
Convention will heartily respond.
Tho fitness of such a nomination we
need not now discuss. It is recognized by
all classes of loyal men from convictions
which have associated with them the livt
licst recollections pf his eminent fidelity
and patriotism, while Chief Magistrate of
our mighty Commonwealth during six
years of the most trying period of our
history; and his noble deed?,- his un
stained record, and his high measure of
administrative success in every depart
ment, are pointed to with pride by every
lover of his country's causa. Kspecially
with the soldiers of the Republic, in h'u
name a tower of strength. In every issue
affecting their interests he was their ablest
and most potent champion. In adversity
his presence and eloquence in their camps
inspired them to fresh deeds of valor. In
victory he told the story of their triumphs
and pointed to the beneficent fruits of
man's noblest struggle for man. In
6ickness he visited and comforted them,
and his ministrations were felt in every
section of the country where sorrow shad
owed the defenders of the nag; and in
sad bereavements for the martyred dead
the silver lining to the cloud was visible
as he gathered the fallen heroes to sleep
with their kindred. The first great vic
tor of the revolution of 1860, he was
again the invincible leader who restored
our State to loyal supremacy in the dark
days of 1863, and when he had filled the
constitutional measure of executive du
ties he retired with The emphatic endorse
ment of the people, and left onr great
CoDimPDwealtb mightier and nobler and
more prosperous than ever before in our
history.
The presentation of Governor Curtin's
name for the Vice Presidency is no empty
compliment. 1 1 is lame nceas no sucn
gilding his proud record needs no such
commendation. ..His name is presented
in obedience to the earnest dc-ire of earn
est aud faithful men, who ask the pres
tige of his name on the ticket for the
great national struggle of 1868. Not
only in his own State, but in every State
where loyalty is cherished, he is esteemed
one of the first of the representative men
of the Republic, and we feel well assured
that the appeal of Pennsylvania for his
nomination will be warmly responded to
in other sections of the Union. We be
lieve he can be nominated if Pennsylva
nia will be true to herself; and when the
people shall have spoken through their
convention, we cannot doubt that there
will be such cordial and earnest support
of their expression as must command the
enthusiastic endorsement of the Republi
can National Convention.
Oaks Planted by Squirrels.
It is a curious circumstance, and not
generally known, that many ofthe oaks
which are called spontaneous, are planted
by the squirrels. I he little animal has
performed the moit essential service to
the JJritish JNavy. A gentleman walking
one day in a wood belonging to the Duke
of Beauford had his attention diverted by
squirrel, which sat very compossedly
on the ground. He stopped to observe
his motions ; in a few moments the squir
rel darted like lightning to the top ofthe
tree beneath which he had been sitting,
and in an inssant he was down with an
acorn in his mouth, and. began to burrow
in the earth with Ins paws.
After digging a bole, he stooped down
and deposited the acorn ; then covering
it, he darted up the tree again. In a mo
ment he was down with another, which
he buried in the same manner. This ho
continued repeatedly.
The industry of this little animal is dis
rected to the purpose of securing himself
against want in winter, and, as it is pro
bable that his memory is not sufficiently
retentive to enable him to remember the
spot in which he deposited every acorn,
the industrious little fellow, no doubt,
losses a few every year. A few spring
up and are destined to supply the place
ot the parent trco. Thus is Great Bri
tain, in some measure, indebted for her
mercantile greatness to the industry and
bad memory of tne squirrel.
Curious Suit.
Albert Cook some time ago a Postmas
ter in Illinois, gave up tho situation, and
bv order of the Denartmcnt sent nil his
stanins back to Washington. He re
A - c-
ceived a notice of their arrival there, but
that the amount was eight cents short.
Last week a suit was instituted against
Cook and his sureties for the missing
amount, the knowledge of which having
reached Cook through the newspapers, he
confessed judgment, paid $15 in costs
and nine cents to Uncle Sam, and the
matter was Fettled. It is doubtful if
there is in the annals of the Government
a stronger proof of vigilant and vigorous
collection of revenue.
Advics to Young Mechanics.
In referring to the growing inclination
on the part of young men,' they have .erv
ed long and hard apprenticeships to ac
quire a good trade, to abandon that moda
making a living and to enter the legal or
medical profession, where it is supposed
greater emolument can be secured and
larger honors won, a cotemporary well
observes that nineteen cases out of twenty
such ventures are failures, for two rea
sons. First, the profession require pecu
liar talent and the most thorough educa
tion. As a rule, apprentices to tho trades
have neither the time nor the means to
acquire this education. Hence, when a
mechanic at the end of his apprenticeship
aspires to and enters any one of the pro
fessions he does so at a great disadvan
tage. He may be a fluent speaker, know
how to argue a point in a debating society
or harangue a crowd at a ward meeting,
but such talents do not fit him for the le
gal profession. He may know how to ex
tract a splinter from his own hand, how
to make a salve, how to mix a powder or
administer a pill ; but all this, while it
might qualify him as a good nurse, docs
not fit him for the medical profession.
The fact is, the young men who abandon
their trades are tempted to o so by false
pride, erroneously imagining there is no
boner to be secrred in a pursuit of the
mechanical arts. History provesjthe' fal
lacy oT such suppositions.
The brightest names which now adorn
the annals of all countries are of the best
mechanics who have blessed mankind
with the productions of their genius.
All that is beautiful or grand is the re
sult of improvement in mechanics. The
pendulum, the mainspring, the barometer,
thermometer,printing-prcss, steam-engine,
locomotive, sewing machine, telescope
all, all are the result of mechanics arts,
making those famous who produced them,
and the people great who adopted them.
A good mechanic who becomes a pet
tifogger or quack, merely because he is
too proud to work at his trade, is indeed
a pitiful object. A man of the right
mental balance, who has proper mental
form, with Ihe necessary independence,
will win as much honor and as fair a liv
ing in the trades as in the professions ;
indeed, an indifferent lawyer or doctor,
lacking briefs or patients, is always a mis
crablc being, a bad example to the com
munity. Let our yonng mechanics, then,
become ambitious in their own peculiar
vocations. If they dignify their tmdc3
by becoming proficient therein, the trades
will dgnify them with the highest hon
ors. If mehanics pursue their busiuess
with a purposs to self-improvement there
in, and not merely to hammer and file and
saw, but to improve the art, to develcpe
something new therein, the mind will be
come muscular, and the heart of the me
chanic will be made with as true a pride
as ever glowed beneath the doublet of a
prince. , ill the young mechanic think
of these truths ?
Robert J. Walker on the Law.
We print below, and desire to call to
the especial attention of The World and
The Times an extract from an opinion of
the Hon. Robert J. alker upon the
Presidcnt'3 right to decide upon the con
stitutionality of laws passed by Congress.
Mr. Walker is a Democrat, and stands
hi"h in the confidence of the President.
He is learned in the law, and this i3 the
way in wnicn tie disposes oi tne scpnis-
try of The Tones :
"I called, says Mr. U alker, "upon
Gen. Thomas early on Saturday morning,
at the W ar Office, and communicated to
him in a friendly way my opinion that
i , I,,.. it-. i
any sucn orucr wouia De a nuimy, ana
would, subject bim to serious cousequen-
ces, especially if any such collision should
occur. I told him that he had no right,
nor had the President, to disohey a laic
of Congress viion the assumption that it
icas unconstitutional, and tkat if it icere
not so the President might set aside all
the laws of Congress stnee the foundation
nf the Government upon the ground that

they were unconstitutional, inai me
President possessed no such power, be-

cause it was not an executive, out ex
clusively a judicial poiccr, and that all
the laics of Congress 7nust be obeyed and
executed by the President uuless their
execution was restrained by the highest
judical authority. That to declare a lata
uuconstitut tonal was not only the exer
cise of judicial power, hut the highest Ju
dicial power, and only to be resorted to by
the courts where, in their judgement, the
act was clearly unconstitiitional,and that in
all doubtful cases tho court had uniform
ly refused to interfere with the execution
of the law."

Resolutions have been introduced in

Necessary RnicVi of Sleep.
Dr. Winslow wis
there rs no
fact more clearly established in the phys
ology of man than this, that the brain
emends its energies and itself during the
Aw
hours of wakefulness, and that tlicsc aro
recuperated during sleep. If the recup
eration decs net equal the expenditure
the brain withers this is insTiity.
Thus it h that ia early English history,
person yho were condemned to death by
being prevented from sleeping, always
died raving naniacs; thu3 it is also that
these who are starved to death become
insane the brain ia uct nourished, and
they cannot sleep. The piaclieal infe
rences are three : 1st, Those who think
most, 'who do uost brain work, require
most sleep. 2nd, That "snved" from
the Dcces2ary sleep is infallibly destruc
tive to mind, body, acd estate. Give
yourself, your children, your servants -give
all that are under you, the fullest
amount of sleep they will take, by com
pelling them to go to bed at some regular
hour, and to rise iu the morning the mo
ment they awak-j; ,ind within a fortnight,
Nature, with almost the regularity of the
rising
wm
unloose the bonds of"
sleep tne moment enougu repose naa
been secured for the wants of the system.
Thi3 is the only safe and sufficient rule;,
and as to the question how much sleep
any one requires, each must be a rule for
himself great Nature will never fail to
write it out to the observer under the
regulations just given.
What Party Dees the Retrenching? .
Our Democr-itie eppenenta are con
stantly crying out fcr retrenchment and
reform, but when it is proposed practically
to enter ca the performance of such work,
the Democracy aic missing when their
votes are . needed. It is conceded tint
the affairs of the National administration
are conducted entirely under the inspi
ration of Democratic influence. Kver
Department but thnt of War, is con
trolled by the Democracy. The moment
the war ended, Congres3 began t3 cut
down public expenses, while Gen. Grant
lost no time in mustering out large bodies
of men. The last Congrcs3 so retrenched
as to bo able to reduce taxation soma
8120,000,000. This fact is never al
lowed to see tho light of day in any of
our uemoeratio cotemporanes. An
other singular fact is that' the present
Congress has reduced .the estimates for
appropriations to carry on'all the Depart
ments of the Government. The sum
asked by the State Department has been
materially reduced; the Secretary of the
Navy was compelled to reduce his esti
mates 20,000 the operations ofthe
Treasury Department have been so cur
tailed by Congress as to save 852,000,
000. These are facts, practical evidence
of the disposition of a Republican Con
gress to retrench, but to sueh facta the
Democracy never allude. Slate Guard.
