The simple meaning of the word is thus given by a well-known compiler: " To return an argument, accusation, censure or incivility; to make a severe reply." A few examples may not be un- interosting to the reader. A witty nobleman once asked a cleri cal gentleman at the bottom of the table why the goose, when there was one, was always placed next to the parson. "Really, my Lord," said the clergyman, "your question is somewhat difficult to answer, and so remarkably odd that I vow I shall never see a goose again without being reminded of your Lord- shh)." « . It is related of Lord Falkland that in 1658, under the Commonwealth, his ad mission to the House of Commons was very much opposed by several members, he being barely of legal age. Some urged that he had not yet sown his wild oats. " Perhaps not, he quickly re torted; " but no doubt a good opportu nity will be oftered me to sow them in this House, where evidently there are plenty of geese to pick them up." The pernlaca? of youth was here most forci bly exhibited. At repartee the Rev, Sydney Smith had few equals, and he mns!r h»*re been a bold individual who attempted to ban ter words with that celebrated humorist. His humorsome and deliberate manner of driving home a retort a thick-headed squire once discovered, who, being worsted by him in an argument, re venged himself by exclaiming, " By Jove, if I had a son who was an idiot, I'd make him a parson." " Very proba bly," replied Sydney; " but I see your father was of a different mind." A severe home-thrust was onOe given to a young country clergyman, who hap pened at the time to be walking home from church With one of his elder par ishioners. It was a very icy day, when the latter suddenly slipped and fell at full length on his back. The minister, at a glance, feeling assured he was not much hurt, said to him : " Ah, my good sir, pray give me your hand; sinners stand on slippery places." The old gen tleman looked up and immediately an swered : " So I perceive ; you certainly keep your footing remarkably well." To be considered a donkey is not al together conducive to one's satisfaction or dignity, few, if any of us, caring to be classed with that much-abused and vilified animal. On one occasion no small amount of merriment followed a retort made by an indignant gentleman during a Bale otf ,picture^ at a I^ndon anotion room. He and another cHs- puted the possession of a capital picture by a celebrated English yairiter, which faithfully represented an ass. Each seemed determined to outbid the other. Finally, one said: " My dear sir, it is of no use, I shall not give in. The painting once belonged to my grand father and I intend to have it." "Oh, in that case," said his opponent, " I will give it up. I think you are fully en titled to it, if it is one of your family portraits."--Chambers' Journal. A Boy's Vacation.

Ixave b^a Garfield National Monument. CLEVELAND, Ohio,£cpt. 27. The Garfield Monument Committee, of Cleve land, have issued the following : To the People of the United States: The movement to secure funds for the erec tion of a monument over the grave of James A. Garfield is being responded to from all sec tions of tbe country, East, West, North and South. In order to make it popular and suc cessful it is desirable and will be necessary lor the citizens of the different States to organize. The committee hereby requests all national banks, private bankers, savings bit liks, newspapers and Postmasters to call at tention t® the movement, by posting notices and otherwise, and to reccive contributions, and to remit the same to the Second National Bank, of Cleveland, Ohio, which has been designated as treasurer of the fnnd; also to send the nam«s and postofiice ad dress of contributors. These names will all be recorded in the books, that they may be preserved in the monument. All contribu tions will fee receipted for bv the Second Na tional Balfr. intended no more than to be funny by laboriously bad spelling, but a semi- satire might have been read in it, for our purely conventional ways of epis. tolary phraseology are ridiculously form at What can be more false than the perpetual 44 Dear Sir" at the beginning of every letter, used indifferently whether the person is really dear to us, oz is simply indifferent, or is worse than indifferent to us ? A letter which duns, or reproves, or expresses a conviction that the recipient is a contemptible scoundrel is conventionally required to begin by affirming him to be 44 dear," as he may be to somebody, but is not to the writer. Suppose any one of us had a sufficient occasion to write to Presi dent Garfield's assassin, now probably the most detested and friendless mortal alive, how would he begin ? He would probably revolt at the falsehood so far as to omit the prefix, or to confine it to the simple 44 Sir," which, BO far from being the curt, cold, and rather forbidding term it is accepted as being, is worthy of being wrested from diplomacy tor common use, inasmuch as it is conveni ent and just fits the purpose of a simple beginning. The 44Mr.," which is an ab breviation of magister, and was originallv the honorary appellation of " toucher,*'" cannot well be omitted in conversation, but in letter-writing how can anything be better than the bare name ? Instead of this, when not addressing one of the immense family of '* li.;v.," " Col.," and 44 Hon.", we are bound to tag on the ridiculous 44 Esq.," unless we evade it by prefixing the 44 Mr." We must sign ourselves 4-Yours respectfully," albeit we have no respect, or 44 Yours truly," albeit not in any sense, his, truly or un truly. On the contrary, when the letter is finished, all that is really remaining is to append the signature of the writer, ttouririh free, and all needed for the ad dress is the name and residence of the addressee, so that the letter may find him.--New York Thnes.

Why Chinamen Never Naturalize. The penal code of China contains a provision which is correctly translated as follows: 44All persons renouncing their country and allegiance or devising the means thereof, shall be beheaded, and in the punishment of this offence no distinction shall be made between principals and accessories. The property of all such criminals shall be confiscated and their wives and children distributed as slaves to the great officers of State. * * The parents, grandparents, brothers and grandchildren of such criminals, whether habitually living with them under the same roof or not shall be perpetually banished to the distance of 2600 leagues. All those who purposely conceal or con nive at this crime shall be strangled. Those who inform against criminals of this class shall be rewarded with the whole of their property. * * * If the plan is contrived but not executed, the principals are to be strangled and the accessories punished with blow* and banishment." 1MM tMa Bxprwrn I' ge*m, KSWVOB*, Axk., Sept. fift.

Many o? the passen gers were not aware of what was going on in the rear cars, and the appearance of the robbers created an almost indescribable panic. Men attempted to spring from the windows of the cars, women screamed and tried to secrete themselves under the seats. Everybody was terrified, and nobody offered to lift a finger in resistance. One pas senger gave up his pocket-book, con taining over tMO in money and two checks for i'400 and $200 respectively, almost mechanically. The passengers were literally stripped of everyth'ng in the shape of valua bles. One man "slipped a package of f'2,000 under the seat and thus saved it, but the bulk of the travelers had not enough left to pay for their breakfast. The robbers occupied scarcely half an hour. They darted off into the woods M soon as they had completed their work, and the engineer at once run the train into Little Bock. Intense excitement prevails. Col. H. M. Hoxie, General Manager of tha Bt. Louis and Iron Mountain road, Superin tendent Buchanan and the Hon. C. B. Moore, Attorney General oi the State, called on Gov.

Guiteau has frequently boasted in jail that he would have eminent legal counsel to defend him, but he would never give 'any information as to whom he had in view. It now turns out that he was only indulging hi exaggeration, of which he is fond. When infoimed by the District Attorney to-day that the Grand Jury would indict him next week and advised to make preDarations for his defense, he requested the District Attor ney to telegraph to tiis brother-in-law, Scoville, of Chicago. He is compelled to fall back on his relations. If no counsel is provided, the court will, of course, assign him counstd, though this may not be an easy task, as the lawvers here are all averse to appearing in the light of counsel. None of them want to utter a word that would tend to save his neck. Guiteau still clings tenaciously to the de lusion that, if he can escape mob violence and get & trial before a court he will be acquit ted. Since he has learned of the de.th of President Garfield he has on several occasions expressed gratification that his murderous work was accomplished, always spealuug of it as the Lord's will, and accompanying his remarks with regret that his victim suffered So much. He pretends to expcct that he will yet get the sympathy of the people. In conversation with one of* the jail- guards the other day, he said irreverently that he was sure the American people would, after President Gardeld was buried, " trsvu- fer their sympathy from that lump of clay" (referring to the "dead President) to him. Ho does not express or feel any remorse for his brutal, cowardly act, but his great dread is of mob violence. - He has been in a constant state of fear since President Garfield died, and if he hears any unusual uoin« or steps of moie than one person approaching-his cefl he endeavors to conceal himsolf under liis b d. He is a pucil- litiiimous coward. Ofce of the guards who does duty at Guiteau's cell said to-day, "Guiteau be- iieves that he,will have a fair and impartial trial, tut does hot belifeve ttffct ho can tetrad for murder. When I asked him the other day his reasons for believing that he could not be tried for murder, he said, 'Iain a lawyer, and am conversant enough with law to know that I cannot be tried for mur der, for th® reason that there must be malice ebown, and I certainly had no malice toward Gardeld. His death was a political ne cessity, and when his body is laid away to rest, and the excitement incident to his death subsides, the American people will bejfin to ap preciate my motives for killing him.' The Tenure of Life. An industrious German, Baron G. F. Kolb, has lately compiled a book of uni versal statistics which furnishes much food f°r thought. His figures show that every advance made by people in moral ity, in profitable and healthy employ ment and useful knowledge brings'it nearer to the ideal--the greatest natural tenure of life. Domestic virtue tells favorably on the health and wealth ot a population. Thus in Bavaria, out of 1,000 children born alive, there died, of legitimate children, 248 boys and 21*2 girls ; of illegitimate, 361 boys and 342 girls. Out of 100 children suckled by their mothers, only 18.2 died during the first year; of those nursed by wet nurses, 19.33 died ; of those artificially fed, 60 died ; of those brought up in in stitutions, 80 died in the 100. The in fluence of prosperity or poverty on mortality is also shown by Baron Kolb. Taking 1,000 well-to-do persons and an other 1,000 of poor persons--after five vears there remained alive of prosper ous, 943; of the poor, only 655. After fifty years there remained of the pros perous, 557; of the poor, 283; at 70 years of age there remained 235 of the prosperous, and of the poor, 65. The average length of life among the well- to-do was 50 years, and among the poor 32 years. One of the most potent shorteners of life is the anxiety of providing for bare subsistence. The lack of sanitary con ditions also shortens man's years. Idle ness, as compared to intense industry-- outweighs --prejudicially outweiggs--all tha advantages of ease and abundance.

Il ia very evident that a ereai' ^fe.' proportion exists, as reffards fOueation, between that kind which is needed and is of {graotioal importance, altd that which m not; but which thousands ac quire without any definittf^rartfose; and if they decide upon some jpmretitt it is not chosen with that retard to their qualifications and deflrfden^fes which the importance of the question requires. The young man who thinlnt he wOl be a lawyar, a doctor, or a minister, and hopes to attain success, must decide on his choice of any profeslftbn by some thing beside hia own ambition and con ceit in the matter as to his fitness and ability for the same. The desire to fill a high and influential position is laud able only when it is not disproportion ate to one's ability. One of the strongest incentives that influences many to rush into the pro fessions without that careful delibera tion which the subject 'demands, is the idea that those avocations will reflect more honor and credit upon them than a trade, but instead of such honoring the profession, the reverse is glaringly apparent, that a large proportion of them are sadly out of place. It does nut require much sagacity to see that one had better be a good lum berman than a third-rate lawver, a first- class mechanic than a quack doctor. There are those who have spent a great deal of time and money in study ing Latiifund Greek, and many other things, which never did them any good, practically speaking, and have learned too late that their time might have been employed to far better advantage. Many young men, after years spent in misdirected effort, have had to resort to any tiling that offered. Of this there are instances too numerous to mention. The Vrorld is full of so-culled educated men who don't know anything of any importance, considering the kind of knowlege which the needs of the country demand. There is a need of skilled me chanics, capable, active men, instead of doctors, lawyers, ministers and clerks. It is a question of great importance not only to the young, but to the patents, this of preparing their childron for a business wherein they can not only earn their daily bread, but secure to them selves some of the comforts and conven iences of life, and an honorable position in the world. When people get out of the prevailing but foolish notion of thinking that it is more honorable to have a profession than a good trade, and when the reverse of this rather is taught to the young, it cannot fail to have a judicious tendency toward correcting an error which has been fostered long, and lies close to the interests of all. If every man had an occupation that was chosen because he was better fitted for it than for any other, he would be in a condition to enjoy much in life, and his sphere of usefulness and influence would be greatly enlarged. Practical education, with a careful consideration of one's abilit ies and deficiencies, with an adaptedness to the wants and needs of our land, cannot fail to make our con-j dition much i more remunerative.
