THE LAZY MAN'S FOLLY.--Adver
tise for a dozen men to saw wood for ono hour at
25 cents., an how many with nothing to do will
present themselves in response, think you Ad-,
cards for men to Ado a velocipede, at an expense
tothem of adollar an hour, and you may have a
dozen applicants in short orde‘v.
Now, why his difference? Sawing wood is an
ancient and I onorablo calling: It is also Condu
cive to appet to and a full puree. -Riding'a two
wheeled
,rioncescript may be good elrcise, but it
oannot till an man's parse and help him to pay
his honest dts. But it is the rage of 1669,
just as - the base ball was the rage of 1.937 ;' and
the velocipede will pats into the bands of hey ,-
of a dozen years in 1870.
We do not object to velocipedes. OD the cull
allay, rather favor thorn as fl costly humbug.
Poor folks cannot afford them) and rich ones
may as well buy velocipedes, as any. otberluxury.
If any man likes to ride of so' uncomfortable a
loolag afrai4s why not ?,ff men like to climb a
gr4ased pole, - or catch a greased pig, why not ?
If anybody Wants to stand - upon his head, or
slide o a cellar door, why not? why not?

GOSSIP.—In common with thousands
( we guess that is not too much) Wo read the "Friday
Miscellany" in the Elmira Advertiser with phus•
ure always, and generally with profit. It is not
always that we can agree with the writer, Mr.
Beecher, which affords another proof of the fact
that God's works aro not fashioned in accordance
with the law of monotony, but rather in accord
with the higher law of "unity in diversity." Some
weeks ago we found ono of Mr. Beecber's faults
interfering with what is to us the lino of diity,
and tapped it gently, hoping to break, and re
move it in detail. The fault we attacked was the
Use of wine fur sacramental purposes', The
ground of objection was stated to bo the danger
of its use to the reformed drunkard. At the'same
time we wrote that it did. not do credit tip Mr.
Beecher to put wine above water for such pur
poses. In remarking upon our criticism, among
other things, Mr. Beecher says:
"We certainly do put wine above water for
sacramental uses. But if thus using the wino
causes a reformed drunkard to backslide, we , would
use no more wino while the world standeth. Our
rule would bo to use the "elemouts'L which JESUS
used. Our exception would be abstinence for a
good reason.
"But, g ood brother, had we under our pastoral
care a reformed drunkard, we should go to him
and ask him to decide thus: "If you touch our
wino you are in danger. For your sake we three
hundred will cheerfully forego our sacred wages,
if you say so; or you may elect to commune "in
ono kind" as all our Roman Catholiobrelluen do;
or, I will provide for you a separate oup and
you and I will drink water."—lt seems to us
that any penitent and reformed drunkard would
rather not have hi_ sinful weakness and necessity
laid as a rule . upon a whole church f BOCIIIISO he
has lost a leg is not a goed - reason why all mon
should go on crutches?" _
There is force in Bro. Beecher's reply because
there is force in almost everything he writes;
but it does not cover the grounds of objection.
We believe that thousands acquire au appetite
for stimulating drinks by supping communion
wine : and certainly it does not, now need to be
alleged that the only positive safeguard, to
thousands, is in strict abstinence from every and
any thing which contains, alcohol. In our view,
if there be danger to any man or woman in
testing wine occasionally, even, then the churches
would do well to abandon its use and celebrate
the Lord's Supper in watrir instead. Neatly all
the wino used is but rteunnitigly compounded bait,
intended to create and foster an appetite for more,
and stronger stimulus. Because one man has lost
a leg "is not a good reason why all men s ho u ld
go on crutches," we admit; and the proposition
is forcible as quaint. But we beg leave to pre
sent the proposition in different form: If by yea
son'of wino ten thousand men have fallen, it is
ample reason why good men should st, ice in such
fashion as to lessen the danger of additions to
the fallen ten thousand; and so that none be led
one inch toward the awful pitfall.
—A workman is not known a one by the chips
ho makes, but equal!)• by the tools be uses. A
first-rato carpenter does not, from choice, use
planes with irons chipped out on the edge, or
tools with handles set awry. An honest shoe
maker does nut put burned or damaged leather
not use rotten leather in making a lutrneFtt, if
honest. The merchant, if smart, does not employ
a cheating clerk. And so olt, to the end Of the
chapter. Good men do not employ Mot men to
do their work, at least not front choice. The
bishop who should send out a licentious and
profane minister to preach the gospel, would not
b regarkd an honest bishop. Yet how many
m n with-the order of respectability think it not
orrtt l jjy legitimate, but sharp, to cratibiyvestioqable,
means in gaining their ends? Sonie men l i havo
even selected tools with blemiltes, and gone
deliberately at work to turn those vices to account:
Men of ability sometimes make use of the positive
vices of men of lesser abilities to acquire wealth,
or power, or position. Such managers have only
a negative affinity for vice, and make the positive
crookedness of others a source of temporal benefit.
Do yon suppose that such men cheat the Al
mighty? Can a man employ evil means for the
attainment of what to him seem good ends, and
Inot under the operation of our higher law, become
confounded with the nature of the means, be
employs? _
NORMAL ScriooL—CLOSE OF WINTER
TEmr.—Wo ere indebted to Mr. Jas. II Bos.z.rd,
for the following report of the closing exercises:
The closing exercises of the winter term of
the State :Normal School indicate the degree of
thoroughness which may be acquired at that in
stitution, and no oiia - -who was present at the ex
amination of the Senioi .s elacts.„!.m Th irsday and
Friday March 12th and 13th, fail fail to be
thankful that such an institution is in their
midst. The gemination was conducted on the
system of topics, and the exhaustive manner in
which the pupils treated of the subjects allotted
to them indicates thorough training. Geometry,
Moral Philosophy and Rhetoric were ditposed of
in a masterly manner. The members of the
class generally recited in clear distinct tone,
and expressed their ideas in very good language.
But it was in the evening -of Friday that the
more intere-ting part of the services were cele
brated. At an early hour people began to rush
into the chapel and it soon became evident that
a large audience would be present, and that the
room was not large enough for such occasions.—
The.exereises emsi.ited of Speaking and Music.
Both the Senior and Junior classes participated
in the speaking, the Juniors reciting choice se
lections, and the Seniors original compositions.
These compositions were well prepared, and were
not lumbered up with figures as most school-day
productions are. The delivery of all was ex.
ecllent, every speaker, I think, speaking suffic
iently distinct to be plainly heard in all parts of
the room. Miss Rate Reynolds of B/ossburg,
be her effective rendering of "Small Robes of
liltite" is deserving of special tnenti.m.
