VALUE OF HA VINO A TRXDE.
[Lutheran Missionary.]
It was a rule among the Jews that
•very young man, whatever his rank
or wealth, and though bred for one of
the learned professions, should be
taught some handicraft. The Talmud
asks: "What is commanded of a father
towards his son?" The answer is:
"To circumcise him, to teach him the
law, to teach him a trade." Some of
the rabbis used to say, "He that teaches
not his son a trade, does as though he
tanght him to be a thief." And a
favorite saying of the wise Gamaliel
was, "He that has a craft in bis bands,
to what is he like? He is like to a
vineyard that is fenced ;" by which he
meant that a man's life by means of a
handicraft was defended against idle
ness, sickness and want.
This custom of the Jews teaches
our generation a valuable lesson.
There are some people so foolish as to
think that manual labor is depreciation.
The moment a man deems himself re
spectable, as having some position in
society, or, when he has made a little
money, he shrinks from apprenticing
his sons to any trade. No, a father
now sends his son to starve in an over
crowded profession, or to earn a scanty
pittance as a clerk in a ribbon store,
robbing the feebler sex of their means
of obtaining a livilihood, although as
carpenters or coopers, builders or ma
chinists, farmers or manufacturers, they
might by industry and economy soon
earn a competence and become masters
and employers and gain an enviable
reputation.
Hard manual labor is not degrading
in itself, nor is it inconsistent with
true greatness. A working man need
not be rude, rough and coarse; he
need not lack in refinement and culture.
All of God's creatures, who have the
independence and nobility to work for
their own living, can become true men
and gentlemen, in the best sense of
that much abused word. The nature
of the work has nothing to do with it.
It depends altogether on what you
yourself are. If a man has a trade,
and aims to become skillful in it—if he
be sober, industrious, trustworthy and
obliging, he is as sure of employment
and a comfortable subsistence as, in
this uncertain world any man can be.
Fathers and mothers, be wise and
learn. See that your sons acquire the
knowledge of a trade, of a profession,
or of business qualities, that they may
be prepared for life, and let your
daughters be thoroughly instructed in
the principles that underlie true
Womanhood, even as King Samuel
describes the true woman in the last
chapter of Proverbs.
A LINCOLN ANECDOTE.— WhiIe Judge
Logan, of Springfield, Illinois, was
Lincoln's partner, two farmers who
had a misunderstanding respecting a
horse trade, went to law. By mutual
consent, the partners in-law became
antagonists in this case. On the day
of the trial, Mr. Logan having bought
a new shirt, open in the back, with a
hugh standing collar, dressed himself
in extreme baste and put on the shirt
with the bosom at the back, a linen
coat concealing the blunder. He daz
zled the jury with his knowledge of
"horse points," and as the day was
sultry took off his coat and summed
up his shirt sleeves. Lincoln, sitting
behind him, took in the situation, and
when his turn came, said to the jury :
"Gentlemen, Mr. Logan has been try
ing for over an hour to make you be
lieve that he knows more about a
horse than these honest old farmers
who are witnesses. He has quoted
largely from his "horse doctor," and
now gentlemen, I submit to you [here
he lifted Logan out of his chair and
turned his back to the jury and crowd,
ai the same time flipping up his enor
mous standing collar,] what depend
ence can you place on his horse knowl
edge when be has not sense enihigb
to put on his shirt?" The roars of
laughter that greeted this exhibition,
and the verdict that Lincoln got soon
gave" Logan a premature prej
udice against "bosom shirts."—Deca
tur (III.) Sun.
BUSINESS ON THE BRAIN.—A few
nights ago the wife of Justice Moses
was aroused from a sound sleep by a
stern voice:
"Ar# you ready for trial, I say ?"
"Hush ! Don't make a noise, or else
you'll wake the baby," she replied,
endeavoring to soothe him.
. "Don't talk back to this court," he
Vociferated." "If you've got any wit
nesses bring 'em on, but let your law
yer do the talking."
"Why, Tom, how you take on!
What is the matter ?"
"I send yoa up for sixty days, that's
what's the matter. Here, Enders,
take her away. Now, .I'm ready for
that petty larceny case. Bring up the
prisoner."
And, jumping out of bed, he started
for the next room to summou a jury,
but fell over a rocking chair, barked
his shins, woke up and asked bis wife
what the dickens was the matter, any
how.— Virginia Chronicle.
WASHINGTON Territory is getting
ready to ask for admission into the
Union, and to that end her people
have adopted a Constitution framed
with the view to State government.
The Territory has a population of only
60,000, and an area considerably larger
than that of Pennsylvania. There is
nothing in the way of its admission,
except that the present Democratic
Congress is not at «11 likely to admit a
Republican Territory, which would be
sure to cast its three electoral votes for
the next Republican candidate for
President. A bill was introduced last
winter to admit Washington, but
when it got into committee it slept
there, and will not be disturbed while
this Congress lasts. We cannot wel
come the "State of Washington" to
the sisterhood just yet.
How TO STOP THE PAPER.— If you
wish to stop your paper do not direct
the postmaster to return it. That will
not do. Do not write on it and return
it yourself. That lays you liable to a
fine. Do not leave it uncalled for at
the office, for if you arc in arrears that
convicts you of a swindle, and docs
not release you from the obligation to
pay for it until yon notify the pub
fishers. But if you wish it discon
tinned, write to the publishers and it
will be done, provided you are not in
arrears; if you are, send enough to
pay up like an honorable man. If you ■
do not know the amount a postal card
will bring the desired information.
—"He is very absent minded," said °
a candidate of an opponent. "Indeed,
his mind is entirely absent." a

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure,
i, Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined. that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
■ as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being

publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that

public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
