A boy once went to a raftged school, and had his face washed: awl" when he went how neighbors looked at him with astral ishment— ,They said, "shut looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it. can't be, for he is so clean." Presently his mother looked at him, and finding his face .so clean, she fan . cied her face was dirty, and forthwith washed it. The father soon came house, and seeing his wife and son clean, thought his face very dirty, cud soon full,w ed their example. Father, and , mother, and scn all began to think the room looked dirty; and down she went upon her knees and scrubbed that clean. There ; was a female lodger in the house who, seeing such ti change in her neighbors, thought her face a: d room 1 oked very dirty, and speedily betook to the cleansing operation likewise., • And very soon the whole was, as it were, transformed, and wade tidy and comfortable, simply by the cleansing of one ragged school boy. In the late council between the Winnebago Chiefs, and Governor Ramsey, Big Bear said that he did not want to see any more schools amon , t ' his people, be cause, Said he, afterwards education na.kes the young women bad, and, the young men too lazy to hunt, and too much like some of the pale faces to speak the truth, keep sober, or behave themselves like honest Wiuuebagues.

'These titles are not always the regard of long services or the badge of real merit and distinction.— There is a great disposhion to use the term Esquire at the end of a otan's name, a sort of title that is p rhaps the most almost as common as the quirk in a pigs tail. Captain, Major, Colonel sad Judge are con ferred upon men who arc :ts ignorant in re gard to utilitary affairs, or the machinery of courts, as a Catuanche Indian is of the one-lieu sineng. Sueh things give scope for the-lmst unmerciful ridicule, and there are few teen who do not see the ludicrous ness of a title without the substance. We have often laughed over a story of an hon est Dutchman, who many years ago kept a ferry at the mouth of Oil Creek. A long time in the business had convin ced hits that all the Yankees up the river were men of distinction, for all were Ma jors, Colonels, Doctors, Captains, or Judg es.

Anecdote of Lafayette. Shortly after Lafayette's second return from America, ho was at Versailles when the King was about to review a division of troops. Lafayette was invited to join in 1 1 the review. He was dressed in the Amer ican uniform, and was standing• by the side of the Due de Conde, when the King, in his tour of conversation with the offcers, came to him, and after speaking on several topics, asked him questions about his nni form nod the military efisttuno in the Uni ted States. The King's attension was at tracted by a little medal, which was at tached to his coat in the saute manner a the insignia of orders are usually worn in Europe, and he asked what it was. La fayette replied that it was a symbol, which it was the custom of the foreign officers in the American service to wear, and that it bore a device. The King asked what was the device; to which Lafayette answired, that there was no device common to all, but that each officer chose such as pleased his fancy. "And what has pleased your fancy ?" in quired the King. "My device," said the young generay pointing to his medal, "is a liberty pole' standing on a broken crown and sceptre." The King smiled, and,pith some pleas antry about the republican propensi lea of a French marquis in American unie 1.11), turned the conversation to another. tot ie.
