The Loirer Classes.
Who are they asks the Philadelphia
Argus. The toiling millions, the labor
iNg men and women, the farmer, the
mechanic, the artisan, the inventor, the
producer? Far from it. These are
-nature's nobility, God's favorites, the
salt, of' the earth. No matter whether
they are high or low in station, rich or
poor in pelt; conspicuous or humble in
position, they are the "upper circles"
ni the order of nature, whatever the
factious distinctions of society, fashiona
ble or unfashionable, decree. It is not
/air, it is the highest -duty, privilege
And pleasure, for the great man and the
whole-souled woman to earn what they
possess, to work their own way through
life, to be the architects of their own
fortunes. Some may rank the classes
we have alluded to as only relatively low;
and in fact the middling classes. We
insist they are absolutely the very
highest. If there ht. a class of human
beings on earth who may be properly
denominated low, it is composed of those
who spend without producing, who dis
sipate on the earnings of their fathers
Ar relatives without being or doing any
thing in and of themselves. - •
We are all naariners on this sato( life,

Br IL J. STABLE.
407! YBAR.
A Graphic Elketeh—"Diana ye hear the
Slogan?"—"The Oampbells are Comte!"
Scarcely out of Scott's novels can a
scene be found more dramatic, touching
and picturesque, than that of the relief
of Lucknow, described by a lady, the
wife of an officer at Lncknow, in a let
ter published in the London Tint".
To give it due effect, it should be re
membered that Gen. Havelock was not
an hour too soor. in his relief, as the sil
van co of the enemy's batteries and
mines had settled the fate of the garri
son; and it should be known that in
the continual uproar of the cannonade.
and the destruCtion of military works
and buildings, the beleaguered and de
voted garrison did not hear or see any
thing of the advancing relief until the
battle had been fought outside, and the
relieving force was marchin t , up to the
gates.
On every side death stared us in the
face; no human skill could avert it any
longer. We saw the moment, approach
when we must bid farewell to earth,
yet without feeling that unittterable
horrar which must have been experi
enced by the unhappy victims of Cawa
pore. We were resolved rather to die
than yield, and were fully persuaded
that in twenty-four hours all would be
over. The engineers had said so, and
all know the worst_ We women strove
to encourage each other, and to perform
the light, duties which had been assigned
to us, such as convoying orders to the
batteries and supplying the men with
provisions, especially cups of coffee,
which they prepared day and night.—
' I had gone out to try to make myself
useful, in company with Jessie Brown,
the wife of a corporal in my husband's
regiment. Poor Jessie had been in a
state of restless excitement all through
the siege and had fallen away visibly
within the last few days. A constant
fever consumed her, and h-r mind
wandered oecasionlly, - especially that
day, when the recollections of home
seemed powerfully present to her.
At last, overcome with fatigue, she
lay down on the ground, wrapped up
in her plaid. I sat beside her, promis
int; to awaken her when, -as she said
" her father should return front plough
ing." She fell at length into a profound
'Slumber, motionless, and, apparently,
breathless, her head resting in my lap.
I myself could no longer resist the in
'lination..to sleep, in spite of the contin
ual roar of the cannon. Suddenly I
was aroused by a wild, unearthly scream
close to my ear; my companion stood.
lupright beside me, her arms raised, and
I her head bent forward in the attitude
of listening. A took of intense delight
broke over her countenance, she clasp
'ed my hand, drew me toward her, and
exclaimed, "Dinna yio hear it ? dinna ye
hear it? Ay, I'da no dreumin', it's the
adogun o' the Highlanders ! We're
saved! we're. saved!" Then flinging
herself on her knees, she thanked God
with passionate fervor. I felt utterly
bewildered; my English ears heard on
ly the roar of artillery, and I thought
my poor Jessie was still raving; but
she darted to the batteries, and I heard
her cry ineessantly to the men, " Cour
'age ! courage ! hark to the slogan—to
the Macgregor, the grandest of them a'.
Here's help at last."
To describe the effect of these words
upon the soldiers would be impossible.
For a moment they ceased firing, and
every soul listened in intense anxiety.
Gradually, however, there arose a trim.-
intir of bitter disappointment, and the
wailing of the' women who had flocked
to the spot burst out anew as the Col.
shook his head. Our dull Lowland ears
heard nothing but the rattle of the mus
ketry. A few moments more of this
death-like suspense, of this agonizing
hope, and Jessie, who had again sunk
on the ground, sprang to her feet, and
cried, in a voice so clear and piercing
that it was heard along . the whole line
Will you no believe it floor Tho
slogan has ceased indeed, but the
Campbells are cousin'? D'yo hear, dye
hear ?" At that moment we seemed in
deed to hear the voice of God in the dis
tance, whoa the pibroach of the High
landers brought actidings of deliver
ance, for now there was no longer any
doubt of the fact.
That shrill, penetrating, ceaseless
sound, which rose above all other soanda,
could cane neither from the advance of
the enemy,
nor from the work of the
Sappers. .No, it was indeed the blast of
the Scottish bagpipes, now shrill and
harsh, as threatening vengence on the
foe, then in softer tones, seeming to
promise succor to their friends in need.
Never surely was there such a scene as
that which followed. Not a heart in
the residency of Lucknow but bowed
itself before God. All, by one simul
taneous impulse, fell upon their knees,
and nothing was heard but bursting
sobs and the murmured voice of prayer.
Then all arose, and there rang out from
a thousand lips a great shout of joy
which resounded far and wide, and lent
new vigor to that blessed pibroach—
To our cheer of ‘• God save the Queen,"
they replied by the well known strain
that moves every Scott to tears.—
" Should old acquaintance be forgot,"
ke. After that, nothing else made any
impression on me. I scarcely remem
bered what followed. Jessie was pre
sented to the General on his entrance
into the fort, arid at the officers banquet
her health was drank by all present,
while - the pipers marched round the ta
ble playing once more the familiar air of ,
" Auld tang syne,"

Watriziony.
One of the most remarkable features
connected with this interesting institu
tion, is the successive chanrs it under
goes in the coarse of its history. For
the first six months it is all " ducky"
and "sugar." As we enter our second
olympiad, however, a change comes
over not only oar affections, but oar
apparel; we no Ipnger talk preserves,
while our ruffled shirts have much
broader plaits than they could once
boast of. When the young husband
and wife first enter upon their new re
lation, how little do they see what is
before them in the shape of troubles
gridirons, cradles, rocking-chairs, cho
lera infantum, bakers' bills, small shooti,
paregoric and hobby horses. As they
for the first time take possession of their
new house, and enjoy its cheering as
pect, its regularity and quiet, and its
expression of domestic peace and joy,
how little do they anticipate the trials
and vicissitudes, the deep yet unseen
fountains of joy and sorrow which lie
in their way
In a few years how changed One
after another has been added, in various
ways to the company which began only
with two, until at length they find
themselves presiding over a numerous
circle of children, and relatives, and do
mestics—the father and mother both
involved in responsibilities, from which
they would have shrunk, had they an
ticipated them at the onset. In a few
years this happy circle muss, be broke
in upon and scattered. Death comes
and takes away Abram ; n young lady,
with pink boddico and black eyes, comes
in and curries off Alexander; a third, de
termined to die a sailor's (loath, ships
before the mast on a canal ; a fourth
growing covetous, starts for California ;
while a fifth in all probability, gets his
intestines kicked out by the sorrel bull.
At last the father and mother arc left
alone; and after fifty years of trouble,
love, and vexation, they find themselves
worse off than when they started.—
They are not only alone again, but They
are alone without the hope of inure
company.
Crooked Euough
Speaking of the Ea) Grande, a writer
says : " Imagine one of the crookedest
things in the world, then imagine four
more twice as crooked, and imagine to
yourself a large river three times as
crooked as al: these put together, and
you have a faint idea of the crooked
disposition of this crooked river. There
is no drift-wood in it, from the fact that
it. is so crooked that timber cannot find
its way far down enough to lodge two
sticks together; but few snakes, because
it is not straight enough to swim in;
and the fish are all in whirlpools in the
bends, because they cannot find their
way out. Birds frequently attempt to
fly across the river, but light on the
same side they start from—being de
ceived by the crook. Indeed, you may
be deceived when you think you sec
across it ; and some of the b'hoys say it.
is so twisting there is but one side to it."
What is it f—A western pettifogger
once broke forth in the following in
dignant strain :—" Sir, we're enough
or ye, the hull of ye. Me and my
client can't never be intimidated nor
tyranised over; mark that ! And, sir,
just so sure as this court decides against
us, we'll file a writ of progander, sir,
and we—" Here lie was interrupt
ed by the opposite counsel who wanted
to know what ho meant by a writ of
progander. " Mean ? why, sir, a writ
of pro g ander is a—a—a—it's a—wal,
don't-just remember the exact word,
but it's what'll knock thunder out of
your one-horse courts, anyhow."
ear Bayard Taylor tells a good story
of a Yankee who, in walking along the
streets of St. Petersburg one muddy
day, met the Grand Duke Constantine.
The sidewalk was not wide enough for
two persons to pass, and the street was
very deep in filth—whereupon the
American took a silver rouble from his
pocket, shook it in his closed hand, and
cned out, "Crown or Tail ?" "Crown I"
guessed the Grand Duke. "Your High
ness has won," said the American, look
ing at the rouble and stepping into the
mud. The next day the American was
invited by the Grand Duke to dinn:,,r.
sarliteranger was one day 'compli
mented by a lady on the punctuality
with which ho kept his engagemenu.
"It is a pleasure,' said she, "to invite
you to dinner, fur you never make us
wait." "I am no.longer young, mad
ant," replied the poet, "and experience
has taught no one thing ; it is danger
ous not to arrive at the proviso hour,
for the guests who are waiting for you
will pass the time iu discussing your
faults."
Why Cats Wash their Faces.—A cat
caught a sparrow, and was about to de
your it, but the sparrow said, "No gentle
man cats till he has first washed his face."
The cat, struck with - this remark, set,
the sparrow down, and began to wash
his face with his paw, but the sparrow
flew away. This vexed pass extreme
ly, and he said, "As long as I live, I will
eat first, and wash my face afterwards."
Which all cats do, even to this day.
/*PA dutchman undertook to tell us
the other day, about a fine now barn
his brother bad just finished over on the
" White Ground," and this is the way
he did it : " Beter has a crest large
parn pitt ord,r on to White Crount—'tis

The Public Lands.
Their Value to the State.---The
John Rowe, Surveyor General of the
Commonwealth, has sent a communica
tion to the Legislature, on the subject
of the unpatentedland;of the Stan; in
which the almost incredible fact is
stated, that there are six millions of out
standing, due the Commonwealth from
individuals who have taken up public
lands. This the Surveyor General
says, is not in the hands ordebtors 'of
doubtful responsibility, but is secured,
so to speak, by first mortgage on real
estate. These six millions of dollars
could be collected if the proper laws
were passed by the Legislature, and
Mr. Rowe very properly remarks, if it'
is not intended to let the arrearages of
land run on and accumulate forever,
the work of collecting them may as well
be commenced now in earnest. The '
present revenue from these lands con
sists of the insignificant eclat of $21,000
per year. [The Graduation Aot of 1885
expired, by limitation, in last Decem
ber. It would be well !f the Legislature
would now pass a law, l
by which the
State could reap some benefit-from this
extensive, but hitherto unproductive
source of revenue. Perhaps the collec
tion of tho full amount due the State
from these lands, would be attended
with many cases of extreme hardship,
and no one would counsel the Common
wealth to deal harshly with its citizens ;
but if hut two millions of this sum could
be realized within a reasonable time, it
would be of considerable assistance in
reducing the State debt.
The Surveyor General closes his com
munication with the following sugges
tions:—Doubtless the numberorpatents
fur land taken tut annually would be
greatly increased if the people were
rightly informed of the requirements of! !
the law. Much of the neglect hereto-
fore displayed is probably naributable
to a want of proper knowledge. Cou
pled, therefore, with any legislative en
actment on the subject, there ought ,to
ho a law authorizing the Surveyortlon
cral to publish the set, or a synopsis
of its provisions, in nearly all the news
papers of the State. It' ignorance of
the law is to exiat4e no man, then the'
law ought to be printed where all men
can sec it.
A Virginia Blue Law
The editor of the Norfolk Argus, in
looking o •er sonic musty records of
Virginia, came across the,following: •
"At a Grand Assemblage held nt
James eittio in the veer of our Li:4.d,
1616, were passed manic aekte to the
glorie of Almighty God, and ?oblique
good of this his inajest;e's Colonic:"
among which is act V, (with umeeded
orthography 0 " Women c , iusiny scanda
lous suits to be ducked. Whereas, often
times many babbling women often slander
and scandalize their neighbors, for whith
poor husbands are often brought into
chartable and vexatious law suits, and
cast in great damages.—Be it therefore
enacted by the authority aforesaid,
That in actions of slander occasioned
by the wife as aforesaid, after judgment
found for the damages, the woman shall
be punished by ducking! And if the
slander he so enormous to b. adjudged
a greater damage than five hundred
pounds of tobacco, then the woman
shall be ducked head and heels once for
each five hundred pounds of tobacco eo
-adjudged against her husband, if he re
fuses to pay the fine imposed."
Dicisiona Among the Morotoas.—The
Leavenworth City, Ledger says that three
young men, Henry Baker, James Smith
and Alexander Francis, arrived there
on Thursday afternoon, the ith, direct
from Fem. Bridger. They Caine the
whole distance—twelve hundred miles

the day they left six Mormons came in
to camp, and reported that the Mormons
were in a state of civil war—Brigham
