THE PLOW, LOOM AND ANVIL.
The camp has had its day of song;
The sword, the bayonet; the plume,
Have crowded out of rhyme too long
The plow, the anvil, and the loom.
Oh, not upon our tented fields
Are freedom's heroes bred alone t
Tiie trainings of the workshop yield
More heroes true than war has known.
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel,
May, with a heart as valiant, smite
Ah he who sees a loeman reel
In blood before his blow of might!
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life, that lightens toll.
May spring from courage more sublime
Thai) that which makes therealm its spoil
Letlabor, then, look up and see
His craft no pith of honor lacks,
The soldier's rllleyetshall be
Less honored than the woodman's nx.
Let Art his own appointed prize,
Nor deem that gold or outward bight
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes that breed their own delight;
And may the time come nearer still.
When men this sacred truth shall heed,
That. from the thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed J .
Though pride should hold your calling low,
For us shall duty make it good,
And we from truth shall go
Till life and death are understood.
Gougli at GlasgowHell Fire Takes
the Pledge.
I have more than once spoken to an
audience of what are termed "out
easts;" and a pitiful eight it is. On
one occassion 1 addressed eight hun
dred, and on another in Glasgow
over three hundred. The city mis
sionaries had, by their influence, in
duced the poor creatures to come.
There were rags, and fifth, and deg
radation, bcj'ond description. It
seemed as if the last lingering trace
of human beauty had been dashed
out by the hoof of debauchery, and
the die of devil stamped on the de
faced image of God ; and all of them
human beings, with hearts and souls,
with a love lor the pure and beautiful
meR and women yes, and children
with such human histories of want,
and suffering, privation and misery,
as might well be traced in tears and
written in blood.
On one occasion, as I entered the
audience room, wheiesome hundreds
of this class had assembled, with the
provost of the borough and a minister
of the town, who accompanied me,
the former said, as we come in : "Mr.
Gough, you have 'Fire' in the house
to-night."
I asked, "what do you mean?"
He said, "Do you see that tall wo
man, near the platform ?"
"Yes."
"Her nicname is 'Hell-fire;' she is
know.n by no other-name in the Yiein
Ity of her wretched residence. When
she appears in thestreet, t lie boys cry
'Fire! Fire! She is the most incor
rigible woman in the borough. She
has been brought before me scores of
times and sentenced to imprisonment
from four days to six: months. She is
ripe for mischief, and if she makes a
disturbance, you will se'e such a row
as you never saw before. The power
of the woman's tongue in blasphemy
is horrible."
When T rose to address the audience
X expected a row, and confess to a ner
vous feeling of apprehension. I spoke
to them as men and women, not as
outcasts, or things. I told them pov
erty was hard to bear; but there
might be comfort, light, arid peace
with poverty ; told them I had been
poor, very poor; spoke to them of my
mother, and her struggles; then of her
faith, and love, and hope; that there
was no degredation in poverty ; only
sin caused that. In proportion to
wrong-doing was the degredation
and so on. I saw iPhakdtl armaifd
hand lifted inthe crowd, and heard a
voice cry out:' "That's p.11 true."
The woman ('Fire') rose to her feet,
and facing me, said : "That's a', true,
mou ye're telling the truth;" and
stretching her arms to the audience,
said: "The mon kens what he's
talking about."
When I concluded, she came on the
platform, and I almost thought she
might tackle me. She was a large
woman,. and looked like a hard hitter,
and I never desired to come in con
tact with "strong-minded" or big
fisted women; but after looking at
me a moment, she said : "Taf:' a
gude look at me mon. I'm abit.of a
beauty, ain't I?" ''Then coming
close to me, "Would you gi'e a body
like me the pledge?"
T answered at once, "Yes, ma'am."
A gentleman said : "She cannot
keep it ; she will be drunk before she
goes to bed to-night; better not give
her the pledge."
I turned to her; '"MadanV, There is
a gentleman wlio 'says you "cannot
keep 'if if you sign if." ' ;,; '"T
Clenching her fist, he said,"Show
methempu?.'J s .
I asked, "can you keep it?
"Can I? if I say I wull, I can."
"Then you say you will."
"I wull."
"Give me your hand on that," and
Isliook hands with her. She signed
it, and I said: "I know you will
keep it; and before I go to America I
will come and see you."
"Come and see me when you will,"
she answered, "and vou'li find I ha'e
kept it."
It must have been two j-enrs from
that time, I wasspeaking there again,
and after the lecture,, a gentleman
said to me: "I wish to introduce to
you an old friend, whom perhaps you
have forgotten 'Mrs. Archer,' no
longer 'Fire.' "
I was introduced, and shook hands
heartily with her and her daughter,
who sat by her- I had noticed the
woman during my speech, for she
hardly took her eyes off me from the
time I rose till J sat down.- I went-to
her house, and part of what she said
to me was this:
'.'All ! "JEr. Gough, I'm a pufr body ;
I dinna ken much, and what little I
ha'e kenned has been knocked out. of
me by the staffs of the policemen ;
for they beat meabout the head a good
deal, and knocked pruttymuch a' the
sense outof me; but sometimes I Tiare
a dream I dream I'm drunk; airid
fighting, and the police ha'e got me
again ; and then I got out of bed, and
I go down on my knees, and I ddn't
go back to my bed till the daylight
comes, and I keep saying: 'God keep
me fof I cah?t get drunk any nfair.' ,'
Her daughter said': "Aye? Won,
I've heered myinither in the dead of
night, on the bare1 floor, crying, 'God
keep me;' and IVesaid come i 'Come,
to bed, meither, ye'll be cau.ld ;'. :md
and she'll tell me, "No, no I cannot

A
PACKAGE.
A La4f scut From Ohio te Kansas by
Express. .
Mr.R. G. Andrews, the popular Ex
press Messenger on the St. Joseph and
Council Bluffs Bailroad, receives, in
'the course of business, a great, many
valuable-packages for delivery ; but a
day or so ago he received one that
was rather calculated to startle the
.nerves ,of a modest, bashful young
man. It, was nothing more nor less
than a young lady, just "sweet six
teen," and handsomeenough to 'turn
the heart .ofany youth whose heart
was not already securely lodged in
other hands forsafe keeping.
The youn lady, in question was
from Cleveland, Ohio, and consigned
to Col. Keith, White Cloud, Kansas.
Sheoame through all the way by ex
press, and, .it is needless to say, re
ceived everv attention on the "road
'Our friend Andrews probably took a
mue more, care oi mat pacicage tnan
any he has ever handled, and heaved
a profound, sigh that ctfmc from the
very soles of his boots as he delivered
it to the consignee. aS?. Joseph Ga
zette. Punctuality.
The words punctuality and punctu
ation both come from the Latin word
punctiim, a point, and the value of
both may be said to consist in placing
points exactly in their properlocality.
We all .know how necessary it Is, in
order to understand the printed or
written page,, that the comma, semi
colon and period should mark the
proper divisions, and nlso the unfortu
nate mistakes which the want of these
little points, or their careless misplace
ment, may produce. Much more es
sential is it, both for our well-being
and that of others, that we learn cor
rectly and exactly to punctuate our
time. The evils of finishing an im
portant letter too late for the post, of
arriving at the depot just after the
train has started, of failing to meet
an urgent engagement, or to see a val
ued friend, or to obtain the physician
-on whose presence a life may depend,
are so obvious that their frequency
may well be a matter of astonishment.
The evils that are the most manifest
are not the only injuries that result
from unpunctuaiity. Money is but
the representative of labor, and all la
bor demands time, therefore he who
wastes the time of otiiers by his tard
iness is guilty of positive dishonesty.
He has detracted by so much from an
other's power of labor, thus depr.ving
the community of the good that might
have been rendered, and the individ
ual of the returns he might have re
ceived. It may bo said that the
amount of good thu3 i-quandered is so
small as to be unworthy of notice ;
but the fact is we can never know
how great it is. Xf a number of per
sons, as in a committee or family, are
delayed five minutes by the tardiness
of one member, eacli one loses that
amount of time, and a whole hour is
frequently thus consumed. As none
can tell what might have been eifect-ed-by
'some of the party ill thatwasted
time, so there can be no estimate of
the. amount of the loss. Punctuality
is then a moral duty, and. its violation
may in no wise be regarded as a light
matter, only involving inconvenience
to a few, but must be looked upon as
a breach of honesty.
A press of duties is oflen pleaded as
an excuse for unpunctuaiity. But we
usually find that the punctual man is
he who . accomplishes the largest
amountof business in tiie best man
ner, while it s chieily the idlers pf so
ciety who are addicted, to this fault.
There is, indeed, a class of busy idlers,
who, perhaps more than any others,
fail in tliis virtue of punctuality.
They look at theirwork in the aggre
gate, and are frightened at its bulk ;
but, having no system, though they
may bpgin it with fervor, they suffer
one part to overrun the time of anoth
er, and soon get into confusion. Ner
vously busy, arid exhausted with un
necessary friction, they yet accom
plish far less than others, who, by
system and regularity, pursue their
avocations with comparative ease.
Sysiem is, indeed, the soul of punctu
ality. As the agreement of the au
thor's, thoughts, ideas and words into
their natural divisions is the founda
tion and cause of his punctuation, so
the systematic arrangement of time
lies at' the root and is the chief source
of punctuality. Life is long enough
for all the proper purposes of life,
if they are only arranged with fore
thought. srfTimeis.not the only thingin which
punctuality, is requisite. Jn the mat
ter of payments that may not be le
gally enforced, though justly due, the
lock of -this virtue'is ever producing
grievous injuries. If the anguish of
disappointment that is frequenty ex
perienced' by the poor when their
rightful dues are withheld or delayed
by thoughtfulness or neglect, could be
opened to the view, it would reveal a
picture of injury and wrong- that
would sadden every heart. And into
every duty this element of punctuali
ty enters.. Every known .duty faith
fully and punctually performed, is a
means of elevation to the individual
and of benefit to the community,
while one who suffers himself to pro
crastinate duty and put off what is
hard or unpleasant, willgradually lose
both his self-respect and the esteem of
others. Philadelphia Ledger.
Punctuality.
I will just mention a plan set on
foot in the school I taught in, some
years ago, to cure the teachers and
scholars of want of "punctuality."
It was not tried until all remonstran
ces had proved unavailing, but then
it had the desired effect. The super
iu'tenuent fornied'a class in thecentrc
of theschbairoomrflriu one Stin'day,
when he had been particularly grieved
by the general want of punctuality,
he met therii the late ones at the
door, with the request that all would
go to .this centre class. They did as
he wishe'd, teachers and bcholars),
anil when they u'ere seated, lie said
that the teacher who cume the- last
was to. be kind: enough to teach the
whole. It waSdQne; but never since
has there been a teacher for that class.

Trip to Pawec City, April 11, 1870.
Eight o'clock; A. M. finds us leaving
the suburbs of the city of London, In
company with the Rev. L. F. Britt,
and brought up at Mrs. James Cole;
man's at half past eight. Changed a
small team for a more extensive or
vigorous'one. Put in old Jack and.
away we went for Pawnee City at the
rate oi! "two. forty on the plank," arid
the more we went the easier it was or
seemed to be for Jack, until he went
off quite nimble or brisk, "reminding
us of a stage team,- as we went over
the prairies. -Taking a South-easterly
direction, not knowing exactly where
we were; going, the road being new
and quiteui number of iriud or plant
holes through which we had to prisa.
- Airalong theroadwe found the far
mers busily engaged sawing sniail
grain. Ariiong the many we noticed
Charley Kennedy, Ellas Randall and
Father and others too numerous to
mention..
We halted at Mr Ware's on the
Muddy, watered, our horses (which
included Jack- and the other), and
then struck out across the Muddy.
Crossing the bridge led us again to the
prairie between the two rivers.
Found quite a number of buildings
going up, on the way. Got off the
road once but were lucky enough to
get back again without any broken
bones, and finally came to the Big
Nemaha River: Hore we found Mr.
Cumming. erecting a very fine three
story building, made of the best ma
terial, showing, evidently, to the
passer by that he is a man of taste
and favors internal improvement.
We then came to the bridge on the
Nemaha, a Very good substantial one,
but yet we don't like the structure
quite as well as Judge Wheeler's, of
this county. We found one of Dr.
Kimherlin's posters on the bridge,
which speaks that the Doctor means
business by way of advertising.
We went by the Table Rock Mills
Which seemed to be doing a good busi
ness, judging from the teams that
were standing around. Found across
the river some very fine ledges or lay
ers of good building stone. Traveling
a little further we canie up to a finger
board which read, "7 miles to Pawnee
City," pointing the way or direction.
Leaving this and passing on the
beautiful prairies rolling out before us,
we Uecome enwraped almost with the
scene. Thinking of the dinner that
was to be had by passing over a few
more miles of road, wo1 came suddenly
to two roads, and both being best,
and as would naturally be expected,
we took the wrong one and went three
miles out of the way ; overtook a man
and inquired ; he told us that we were
yet three and-a half miles from the
city. He gave us some instruction as
to our direction Or course. We fol
lowed a hedge fence we don't know
how far, and finally pulled up in the
City of Pawnee. Horses tired as well
as your humble servants. Put up at
Mr. Shellhorn'3, had a bountiful re
past prepared by Mrs. Shellhorn,
which our stomachs were well calcu
lated to digest, after which we took a
stroll down town to Mr. Shellhorn's
store room, where we found them
doing a good business. Went over to
the Court House which wa3 built
during the last year of stone at a cost
of $18,700, which does credit to the
county as well as the State. Here we
made the acquaiutai.ee of the County
Treasurer, Mr. Wm. Butler, nephew
to the Governor. From thence we
visited the store room of Messrs. Cur
tis & Pe.evy, who have a large" com
mission store room with, a good run of
custom, after which we visited the
Pawnee City Seminary, under the su
pervision or control of Prof. Sprague.
Found the school in running order
with the Professor on the bench.
From there we went to' the Woods'
Hotel, where we met Dr. Stewart and
had. a lively chat with him, discussing
the merits and demerits of the Rail
road, of which we knew as much
about as we did of the road we went.
From thence we went to the parson
age and called upon Col. Presson,
who entertained us for a few mo
ments with a lively conversation,
speaking of the good things in reser
vation for him at his new charge at
Beatrice, and of the bright prospect of
erecting a fine church in that place.
Ten o'clock found us at perfect ease ;
five and a half A. M. we seen the sun
peeping over the hills in all his rc
splehdeucy and brightness, giving
evidence of the approach of another
fine day.
We then took another7 stroll over
town and made the acquaintance of
Judge Edwards, editor of the tribune.
We find him to be a man of taste and
greatly interested in the cause of ed
ucation. Pawnee City has a fine location and
some very fine store rooms and mag
nificent residences. We think it will
eventuall be a town of business, as it
has the county to back.it up. All it
wants is a; railroad.
Eight o'clock and a half fouud us
on our way across the prairie, and as
we .came the same road we went, noth
ing new. transpired until we" reached
Charley Ware's on the Muddy. Here
we baited, wateredour horses and
took dinner, rested an hOni? and start

our appetites however, and tendering
our humble gratitude as a recom

Sabbath Beilst
Said Daniel Webster: "I once de
feuded a man charged with the awful
crime of murder. At the conclusion
of the trial I asked him what could
induce him to stain his hands with
the blood of a fellow-being. Turning
his blood-shot eyes full upon me he
replied, in a voice of despair, 'Mr.
Webster, in my youth I spent the ho
ly Sabbath in ccril amusement, instead
of frequenting the house of God.'
Could wo go back to the early years of
all hardened criminals, I firmly be
lieve, that their first departure from
the path of morality was. when they
abandoned the Sabbath school, and
their subsequent crimes- might thus
be traced back to the neglect of youth
ful religious instruction.
"Many years ago I spent a Sabbath
with Thomas Jefferson, at his resi
dence in Virginia. It was in the
month of June, and the weather was
delightful. I remarked: 'How sweet
ly, how very sweetly sounds the Sab
bath bell!' That distinguished states
mail for a moment seemed lost in
thought, and then replied : 'Yes, my
dear Webster, yes ; it melts the heart,
it calms our passions, and makes us
boys again."
Bryant on Thomas.
W. C. Bryant in his speech before
the Union League of New York,
which had gathered together to do
honor to the memory of General
Thomas, paid an exceedingly high
tribute to his character as a citizeu
and soldier. He was likewise severe
in his criticisrti of the present, as well
as eulogistic of the days' which have
passed nearly out of sight and memo
ory, or are only referred to by many
with contempt. Speaking of the past
and of General Thomas, he said :
When I contemplate his character,
and compare it with that of the gen
erality of public men, it almost seems
as if I were transported to some other
age? of the world, in which greater
and better men were produced than
are brought forth by the mothers, of
the present day. Gen. Thomas was
one of that class, of whom Goethe
speaks somewhere as antique-minded
men characters cast in that noble
mold which those who are fond of
dwelling upon modern degeneracy
place among the years that are never
more to return. Gen. Thomas was by
birth a Virginian, a native of that
State to which we owe th6 xrian who
occupies the highest place ill Ameri
can history him of whom I once
herrd Walter Savage Lander say that
he was the greatest man that God ever
made. In the admirable elements of
character of which I have spoken, I
cannot but recognize a decided re
lationship between the character of
Gen. Thomas and that of Washing
ton. I see in them a kindred dignity,
grandeur, and worthiness; the same
large and lofty aims, the same suj e
riority to all, petty self-seekiug, the
same forecast exercised for the general
advantage; although one of these
great men wrought in a higher sphere
than the other, and was charged with
vaster, responsibilities.
A correspondent of the Beatrice
Clarion contributes the following for
that paper :
Mr. Elwood, who lives about ten
miles west of, Beatrice, told me of
rather a singular accident that hap
pened in that neighborhood the other
day. One of his neighbors, after hav
ing dug eighty of ninety feet in a wxjII
not far from his house, and having
found a ratherscanty supply of water,
tired and discouraged, had almost
concluded to give up the undertaking,
when the man who was at the bottom
discovered a seap at the one side, from
wnicn tiie water seeraeu to come in
most plentifully, and thinking, no
doubt, there might be a vein close by,
struck in with his spade, when to his
utter amazement, a stream of water
came rushing in that threatened to
drown him. He indicated his desire
to be immediately hoisted from, his
perilous position by exclamations of
broken English and shattered Dutch,
in accents of the most heartrending
solicitude. "Yesus Christ! Got in
Himmel! So mucJi w.alher ! Foth
me out! Sacaree dam on top dare!
Oh! halo dunder and blitzen pring
me out!" Atthis the men who work
ed the windlass began to take up the
rppe to which the Dutchman was
hanging with bolh bands, and who,
when about twenty feet from the top,
let go and went dowil again with in
termingled prayers and curses, and
singular as it may seem, he was not
badly injured, and what is still more
singular, the well has filled up over
sixty feet with good pure water, and
had not the gentleman filled It up
with stoneand earth, the water would
have undoubtedly run out at the top.
Ten Years Ago.
"Ten years ago," says the Chicago
Republican," "George B. McClellan
was captain of -our Chicago Light
Guards, and E. E. Ellsworth was Ma
jor of the Cadets. The Chicago Prc$&
ana Trioune, the Jlerala, the Demo
crat and the Times were ten 3'ears ago
the daily newspapers ; and there was
not a rotary press in town. John
Wentworth was in the great tide of
his glory as Mayor of Cbieajro. The
Wigwam wa3 in process of building ; j
in which Wigwam it was expected!
Mr. Seward iir some other man, (pos
sibly Mr. Lincoln) would" be nomina

just made a speech from a window
fronting on Jjitballe street. Ill this
situation, ten years ago, a negro liv

TURKEY GRAYY P0XADE.,,; -
fjtieer Mistake of Students at a -Re-"'
llgiens Colleger '-''
Rrom the Lansing (Mich.) Republican '.
A good religious college yoGaied no
a thousand miles from Michigan, was
blcs.?ed with a wide circle- of femalo
friends among the denomination
Which it represented. One year; tho:
ladies in a thriving town where tha.
college was very popular, thought it
would be a kind act to send the Senior "
Class-a box of good things' for Thanks
giving. They prepared a lot of mine
and pumpkin pies, frosted cake, cold
roast turkeys, a&d other dan ties; and
in order that the turkeys might go off
smoothly, they put in the box a bottld
of rich, savory gravy. It was not la
belled, and the bottle containing It'
was very much like those; in which K
favorite kind of hair oil is exposed for
oeut: uu mu tempting sqcives oi aancy
goeds stores.
When the bos was opened at tho
college and the joyful feast disclosed
to view,, the; Senior class was highly,
delighted. That Thanksgiving din-,
ner was the happiest for many a' yearj
with one little exception, and this-'
was more comical than melancholy
Three or four of tha Seniors, with)
handsome curling hair, thought o
course these benevolent ladies had1
thein in view in sending a present of
hair oil; and they slyly carried eff
the bottle, and in their own rooms
made a faithful application 6C gravy
to their own heads!, The stickiness
of tho supposed hair oil soon aroused
wonder; but it wa3 some thn.0 before
the Seniors knew that they bad mada
a wrong use of the table luxury- Tha"
joke soon spread through the college,
anu at last reached the ears of the do
nors of the box. At Christmas, there
fore, the same generous-hearted Iadierf
made ready another box of good
tilings, and forwarded, it ta the samei
college.
Taking a hint from the previous
blunder, and believing that perhaps
it was necessary for the Seniors? that
their heads should be fashionably
ointed, these kind ladies put in, the
second box a bottle of real hair oil,
Tho bottle, like its predecessor coii
taining the gravy, bore no label, arid
some of the unlucky Seniors, deter-
mined to make no mistake this tlmej
poured the contents liberally over
their plates at dinner, without stop
ping to taste or smell. The oddr of
bbrgamot or cinnamon did not ouco
undeceive them. They imagined the
hair oil to he, perhaps, an elegant new
French dressing for. cold meats, and
swallowed their food with a few4
qualms, but with the hearty appetites
of youth.
