He Is Od,
He lived Just a mile from the village,
Out there by the forks Of the road ;
Ills farm by the help of good tillage
Increased what he planted and sowed.
- Hia d wel'lng was low and old-fashioned ;
The roof was all covered with moss 5
But still by his fixing and patching
It kept out the rain and the frost.
lie lived very peaceful and quiet ;
We knew him as Jeremy Todd ;
So plain was liis dreas and his diet.
The neighbors all said he was odd.
The Xashionsue never would follow-.
Nor try lo put cn nny style.
But owmg a dime or a dollar
He paid It when due with a smile.
His words were but few and well chosen :
'Twas clear that lie meant what he said :
Ills temper not healed nor frozen ;
And ea'.m was the life that he led.
He did not belong to tne meeting,
AnJ said very little of God :
' But orphans were glaj at his greetlrg.
And tvery one said he Is odd.
If ever he offered lo sell you
A eow, or an ox, or a horse,
He made It his busiuess to loll you -Each
one of the animal's faults.
Ho hired Diily Terkins, the cripple,
To husk out his com hy tiie day.
And heaped up the grain cn the bushel
To measure the wheat for his pay.
His name was not on the subscripiion
Tosave the poor heathen abroad ;
His neighbors he he! pod in aElioticn,
The people all Uio'.igLt--!'.e was odd.
He never mad 3 any "profession," '
Xor said that he had a "new heart,"
But something he h:.d in possession.
Of which inanj' more ne. d a part ;
A something that made him sogenlle,' ' -
So honest, eo kindly and true ;
If not church religion, we venture.
That Jesus would say, "it will do."
He might In th- church, have been beltr.
And rendered more service to God ;
He'd more of the "spirit" than "letter,"
.And that as what made him so odd.
The preacher might say he was Godless,
Because he subscribed to no creed ;
But slid 'twas part of hu oddness.
The wretched aud hungry to feed.
If Jertmy failed of salv.itiou.
Because lie stayed out of thechurch :
YVe Paun-A soo how in creation.
Professors will shun the lee lurch.
Who wrar the f-j'.l garb of the pious. '
But love not ihvir ueighhors, noi God I
We choose, when our Malar shall try us.
To be like the old faimer odd.
HOW I LOST A EACE.
BY REV. FRED. BELL.
Athletic sports are of very ancient otH
gin. They were Grecian by . birth, eom
i:i IVorrrhat hartly and polished nation,
and -weio introduced into Home by 31.
Tuiirus at the close cf the Etoliiin war,
They speedily became highly popular;
ana unier tiie emperors their contests
were admired !y tli; nation to a degree
bordering upon pasi.".-i. Thev form. d a
diti:-.ct corporation by themselves; tlioy
&re not to w cnniortnaeil with the iriadia
torial sorts w liieli were often excessively
f'V ei niwl oiT.Mii-iniv
V.1 HUU UitiUlUiUJ.
It was a harmless and honorable pas
time in -which many of high birth and
culture "were cnijajjed. . Thoso engaging
in them were cuiieu atiiletes, from Ctieek
atltleo, to contend, and it held the- ranlc of
an art. Even men of genius contended for
the palm, not as a profession, but for the
sake of exercise, j list tuat tho present day
we have gentlemen cricketers, amateur
oarsmen, etc.
The profound and eloquent Plato ap
peared among the wrestlers in the Isth
mian games at Corinth, and also in tue
Pythian games at Sicyon.
The meditative Pythagoras is said to
have gained a prize fit Eiia, and instruct
ed and trained-others who" did the same.
So great was the honor of an Olympian
U victor that his native city w as regarded as
ennobled by his success, and lie himself
o-Jiu. de red Bacred.
When he rr-tnrned from the contests he
entered the city through a special breath
made in the walls, and tviiii gieat civic
honors, and was henceforth considered a
public benefactor, sustained in magnifi
cence white living, and buried with great
honors w hen dead.
So we see that physical vigor and phys
ical feats have been in "good company
from the lirst, and have been patronized
by the uob' nd Wise and virtuous. In
England tiicy arc made more of than in
this country. Some of the bestgymnust s,
cricketers, runners tmif oarsmen the world
can afford have been men of EngLisli
birth. They inherit the Britons' vigor,
and the Saxons'' temper; they inhabit a
land peculiarly fitted for the encourage
ment of such sports. Vhi!e many of the
upper classes have th3 leisure for it, tho
poorer classes find thir training for it in
their daily occupation. So they, as a peo
ple, are peculiar! - situated for favorable
attention to robust, manly, vigorous
timesjand, though Americans have not
given as much attention to these mauly
sports, as they could not, and .as no young
nation can. she is turning her attention to
them more fully now tJiaa ever. Ameri
cans had a wild country to conquer; they
had to wrestle w ith the Indians, the bear,
the panther and the wolf, and they have
nobiy conquered, giving evidence that
when they shall turn their prowess to flii
field they will make their mm k, as they
have with the rifle at Dollymount and
Creed in oor.
Being born an Englishman, I inherited
together with a robust constitution and a
wiry frame, a passion for "athletic sports,"
and I haven't contracted ministerial stiff
ness of back and joints, or clerical starch
enough to prevent my loving them stiil;
and 1 have won many prizes in running.
jumping and cricketing. .
I desire t relate how I once lost a race.
It has taught ma "a lesin that I shall

queer old Rtrmons that used to be heard
within, no one knows, A wity poet speaks
of it thus:
"Whichever way you turn your eye.
It always seems lo ba awry ;
Fray cm you tell the reasou why?
The only reason known of right.
Is that the thing was na-cr straight."
"Well, it was in this historic old place
that a race w as to be run, for which 1 en
tered. The distance to be run was three hun
dred yards, over hurdles three feet four
inches high, and two water jumps twelve
feet wide, with a three foot ledge on the
near side of the water.
An exceedingly diificult race, the ob
structions making it so ot themselves, but
also extremely dirttcult from" the short
ness of the distance to be run. One mile
would be easier, giving you time for mod
erate increase, which regulates the breath
ing, and gives you a chance to gradually
bring all your powers into play at the best
advant-tge; but tliis one nvist lie a quick,
violent start, and the forth-putting of tre
mendous exertion, allowing of no gradual
play or steady and easy increase; it must
bo a tremendous tpui t, wliich but few can
stand.
When the time came for a start, about
thirty competitors toed the mark, and line,
clean-limbed active-looking fellows they
were, too.
A pistol shot wss to bo the signal to
start. Crack went I he pistol, and oil" shot
;.::rtytnen like arrows hurled from as
iiany bows. We darted abreast, but iUdnt
keep so long.
In the first hundred yards several came
to grief, some, tripping over the hurdles,
sprawled, out of wind and time, ami went
limping and cliopfalieu back; others
jumped well, but didn't come down so
vvjll, or perhaps they iiuagined they came
down inio a well. At any rate they came
down tJotonn, and like young ducks fell

if it was not prudent for me to slacken

The Phoueidoscope. .
An instrument with the above men-
"oned name, was presented to the Socittc
-rancais tie Physique at its last sitting, by
le inventor, M. Taylor. Its obpet is to
show, optically, the delicate peculiarities
of sonorous vibratory movement. A tiiin
film of liquid glycerine is f irmed on a
small opening made in a piece of b'a k
ened brass, and it refiects the light of a
lamp in producing cither cn tho retina
direct or -by projection on a sen en the
well-known iridescent effects of thin
transparent plates. As long as the liitn
is motionless, the simple colors of irides
seence are alone visible. But if, by means
of a bent tu!e the vibrations of a sus
tained sound are conducted underneath
that film, hy the voice or otherwise, the
fiim begin to vibrate, a:id the colots are
disturbed geometrically, producing on
the surface fixed bands and moving rings,
the disposition of which varies, with tue
depth of the tone and the nature, of the
harmony accompanying it that is to say,
the pitch. 31. Taylor showed by projec
tion that the acoustic figures thus obtained
become more and more complicated as the
tone emitted rises, or when, the height ic
inaiuing constant, different voweis are
pronounced. The colors thrown on the
screen difi'ered during the evaporation,
but the acoustic liirures did not. varv.

She Sewed oa His Buttons.
Old Blummer is Light-fisted. Several
days ago he said to Ins wife: "3Iaria, I
want yon to look over that broadcloth
vest of mine and put new buttons on it,
"cause I'm going to a card-party to
night." 'But, Ely," auswcredilrs. Blummer, "I
haven't any buttons to match that vest;
and"
"Thunder!"' broke in Blummer, "the
idea of a woman keeping house as long as
you have, an' prctendin" to be out of but
tons. By George! I b'lieve you'll ask mc
for money to buy 'em with next."
That evening Biunimer hurried through
his 6uppcr anil began arraying himself
for the eaid-p-nty. Presently he called
tor tne broadcloth, vest, and Mrs. Blum
mer, with marvelous promptitude, hand
ed it to. him. lie took it, hastily unfold
ed, it, and then, as his eye took in-his com
plete appearance, he stood as one trans
fixed. It was a six-button vest, and there
were six buttons on it, and the dazed oo
tics of Blummer observed that the first, or
lop one, was a tiny pearl shirt-button, and
that the next one was a brass army-overcoat
button with IT. S. gleaming upon it,
and that number three M as an oxydized
silver alfair, and that number four was a
horn button, evidently from the back of
one of the Puritan fatheis' ccats, and then
came a suspender-button, and then, as the
dazzled eyes cf old Blummer reached the
bottom button a. poker-chip (found in
Biummer's pocket) with two holes punch
ed through it he g;ive a snort that made
the chandelier jingie. There is, after all,
a fine sense of humor about Blummer,
and he laughed till he cried. And theie
won't be any button-money grudged in
that household hereafter.

implicate Sign-Board.
Early the other morning two rather
scedy-Iooking young men entered the
saloon of a respected German resident, and
producing a neatly- tainted signboard,
asked Inm il he tudn t want to buy it
"Voy, dot looks so shoost as like my own
signooarm as nothing,'' said the publican,
examining ir. -ui course it Goes, ' re
plied one of his visitors; "in fact, it's an
exact duplicate of it. Your saloon's on a
corner, you see, and you ought to have a
s:gnooard on each street: that'll double
your custom." "But I didn't order dose
signboardts; what for did you baint him,
ehr"' "O," "responded his iuterlocuter.
"our firm is just starting in business, and
we are painting sins lor all too saloons,
People 11 see that sign and want to get
signs painted, and they'll ask you who
created that Hung ot beauty, and I II have
a chromo-lithograph iu twentv-seven
colois and a gilt frame sent here where
you can show em onr address, and for
every order yon send us you'll get your
commffisK'ii. Why, a saloon-keeper up our
way makes $3 and $1 a day on commis
sion alone." "Veil, bow much you charge
lor dose signboardts, ehf" said tiie honest
Teuton, relenting. "Seeing it's you, and
and that we want tointroduce our busi
ness," replied the young. man, "we'll let
you have that signboard for 75 cents.
The paint on it alone cost the money,
leaving out of consideration the artist's
time and the board, which is seasoned
Xiorway yine, kiiu-dried, and imported
txprcssiy for our company. If you can
get a sign like that anywhere else for less'n

"Dot isli so; I baid $7 for dose signboardt

tariff on paints and brushes, and lumber

the necessary evils of a happy life, &c

left the country, I had better drop you
a line. We are not dead, but alive and
as wide awake as a dog is full of fleas,
for it is a settled fact now, that we
will, inside of two years, Lave the best
town west of Plattsmouth and east of
Lincoln, as a wagon bridge will be
built across the big branch which has
so loisg divided us from the rich and
fertile toil of Sarpy county. Yes, the
bridge will go this time. All the
money required has been raised t
build it, and the bridge man is here
and will make all the necessary ar
rangements to commence the work at
once. We expect to celebrate the com

the Platte river, with music and danc
