As the lark that sings in heaven.
Builds his nest upon the ground.
ME. BANOEOFT'S ADDEESS.
The memorial services at Washington on
Monday, February 2th, were suitable to
the occasion and impressive. The ten
months which have elapsed since the assas
sination do not make thu feeling which that
event called out eem less fVer-h or genuine,
and the interst in the solemnites of Congress
is perhaps greater than if they had been
earlier. The demand of no other occasion,
the fame ot no orator, could have assembled
such an audience asgatherd in the House to
listen to Mr. liancrott'saddress. We think
it fortunate that the ordinary run of publio
men were passed by in order to choose as or
ator a man of letters, a historian of more
than national fame, and not a politician.
Not much time was allowed for the compo
sition of the address yet it bears few marks
ot haste. The style is that which every read
er of American history is trrown familiar
elaborate, stately, full of vigor, often rising
to eloquence, always thoughtful, and always
abounding in interest.
Mr. Bancroft's address, like his paper pre
viously published on the same' subject, is
more historical than biographical. It is a
rapid yet copious survey ot the period in
which Mr. Lincoln's career was passed, audit
deals with him as one who was molded by
events and acted as their agent, rather than
as one whose force of character made the
times take shape in accordance with his will.
It is well known that Mr. Lincoln had the
same view of his own relation to affairs: he
thought himself put at the head of the lie
public in order to execute the will of the
people as from time to time indicated not
to take the lead in public business, not to
announce a policy, not in a single instance to
transcend the popular expectation, nor ever
to show himself guided and uplifted by a
prophetic inspiration. J lis character seem
ed to be the net result of forty years of Amer
can history mixed with weakness, falling far
short of heroism, rising to greatness by very
slow steps. We were in such a condtton
that a hero would have ruined us; would
have ended the war in threemonths before
it was possible the object of the war could be
attained and left another war inevitable.
The defects of the man whom we choose for
a leader were our salvation. His eulogy is
written in the consummation of the four
years'. struggle, the progress of which expo
ses almost every step to criticism. Mr. Ban
croft, therefore, properly and necessarily has
traced the course of events out of which the
war grew, and through which it was protrac
ted, in order to give a just view of Mr. Lin
coln,? character and influence. His summa
ry is a masterly one, and though, as we re
marked, it must have been the work of a
few weeks, will add not a little to his popular
reputat ion. The address will not be deemed
unworthy to take a permanent place among
the works of the historian of America.
Tribune.
Shaup Practice. Some time ago, a
burglar was arrested at Turbotsville. Some
thirteen hundred dollars were found on linn.
This money was taken from him and he
was sent to jail. But the parties who re
tained the money gave him a note stating
that they had retained that amount. Soon
the rogue broke out of jail, went to Phila
delphia, had the note cashed and left for
parts unknown. In the meantime the par
ties who arrested him, divided the money
among those who had aided in the arrest;
but taken aback when the note came for
collection. Of course they had to pay it,
and the rascal lost only the discount.
Pittsburgh, the second city of the State,
is rapidly improving and well deserves its
name as the Birmingham of America. Its
substantia! growth is indicated by the fact,
that seven years ago the city had but five
banks, now it has twenty, with a capital of
of 825,000,000. It has five large cotton fac
tories, and seven woolen ones. It has no
less than fifty glass-making establishments,
which produced $12,000, 000 worth last jTcar.
In the iron trade, the amount of manufac
ture is immense. The value of its coal trade
trade is estimated at 9,000, 000, while its
oil trade and manufacture is put at $25,000,
000. The intelligence of the transfer of Jeffer
son and Berkeley counties from the State of
Virginia to West Virginia was received by
the citizens of Harper's Ferry with great
rejoicings. (Jheer alter cheer rent tue air;
and feeling that their approbation ot the
result had not been sufficiently exhibited,
they determined to have an artillery salute.
They accordingly applied to the agent of the
Ordance Bureau for something to make a
noise with, who very promptly provided a
24-pound mortar, with which they made the
mountains and valleys in that vicinity re
sound and reverberate with artillery music.
Would you wish to live without a trial ?
Then you wish to die but half a man.
Without trial you cannot guess at your own
strength. Men do not learn to swim on a
table ; they must go into deep waterand
buffet the surges. If you wish to under
stand their true character, if you would
know their whole strength of what they
are capable, throw them overboard ! Over
with them and if they are worth saving,
they all swim ashore of themselves.

Incredulity Personified.
There is living on Martha's Vinevard an
old man who has never teen off the"lland,
and the extent of his knowledge is bounded
by the confines of his home. He has been
told of a war between the North and South,
but as he has never heard the din of battle!
nor seen any soldiers, he considered it a
hoax. He is utterly unable to read, and ii
ignorant to the last degree. An excellent
story is told of his first and only day at
school. He was quite a lad when a lady
came to the district where his father resid
ed, to teach school, lie was sent, and as
the teacher was classifying the school he
was called up in turn and interrogated as to
his former studies.
Of course he had to say that he had never
bj-en to school, and knew none of his letters.
The schoolmistress gave him a seat on one
side until she had finished the preliminary
examination of the rest of the scholars.
She then called him to her and drew on the
black-board the letter A, told him what it
was ana wished him to remonittftr Jmw it
looked, lie looked at it a moment
then innuired (hn stnttor.l -i
and
"Il-h-how do you know it's A?"
The teacher replied that when she was a
girl, she had beeu to school to an old gentle
man who told her so.
The boy eyed the A for a moment and
then asked, "II-h-how did he know?"
This was almost a stunner, but tho teach
er suddenly recollected that he had told her
that when a boy he had been to a school to
a lady, who taught him that it was A.
The boy eyed the letter a little longer,
when he burst out with, '"II-h-how did he
know but she 1-1-lied?"
The teacher could not get over this obsta
cle, and the poor boy was sent home as in
corrigible. '
A Lesson of Trust.
Some time ago a boy was discovered tn
Clairborn street, evidently bright and intel
ligent, but sick. A man who has the feel
ing of kindness strongly developed went to
him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked
him what he was doing there.
"Waiting for God to come for me," he
replied.
'"What do you mean." sid the eentleman.
touched by the phathetie tone of the answer
ard the condition of the boy, in whose eye
and flushed face he saw evidences of fever.
"God sent for mother and father and lit
tle brother," said he, "and rpoktheni away
to His home up in the sky, and mother told
me when she was sick that God would tako'
care of me. I have no home, nobody to
give me anything, and so I came out here,
and have been looking so long up in the sky
for God to come and take care of me, as
mother said He would. He will come, won't
he? Mother never told me a lie."
"Yes, my lad." said the man overcome
with emotion, "He has sent me to take care
of you."
You should havo seen his eyes flash and
the smile of triumph break over his face as
he said: 'Mother never told me a lie, jir,
but you have been so long on the way."
What a lesson of trust, and how this inci
dent shows the effect of never deceiving
children with tales.
The recent maltreatment of Captain John
son in iionda, by ex-rebels, seems to have
been a maturely organized affair. The mob
also called upon the United States District
Attorney and ordered him to leave the State
forthwith, or forfeit his life. It is stated
that the civil authorities lend their coun
tenance to these outrages, and the military
is at present inadequate to protect Union
men from these assaults. The determina
tion is to drive out all Yankees from the
State.
Infixes ce of a True Wife. A sensi

prosperity, and comfort to his adversity.
Every true life wields p still greater power
when it leels a living heart drawing it with
irresistible force into every position of duty.
The other day, several gentlemen were
discussing the alarming prevalence of the
crimes, desertions, women eloping with oth
er men, &c., when a well known leaton,
whohadbeen listening with great attention,
stepped up, and in an excited manner, "said J
It my vile runs away mitanoder man svile,
I will shake him out of her breeches, if she
be mine own fader, I will."
To he a woman of fashion is one of the
pnsipst things in the world. A latfi writer
thus describes it: "Buy everything you

Genuine neighborly love knows no dis
tinction of persona. It is like the sun,
which does not ask on what it shall shine,
or what it shall warm; but shines and
warms by the very law of its own being.
So there is nothing hidden from its light
and heat.
The truest Christian politeness ia cheer
fulness.' It is graceful, and sits well on old

rubies and diamonds set in gold. It costs
nothing, and yet is valuable.
