THE interior of the first story of the Stone Front is about finished. It is handsome room, and the plastering job is as good as we have ever seen.

DICKERSON, the man who killed Henderson last week, voluntarily gave himself up to Sheriff McOonnell, on Tuesday evening last.

THK haunted house is getting to he an "old thing." The bycycle is the "last sensation" for the amusement of those who want their time killed for them.

PRESIDENT Turn.IS, of Wabash College, delivered the .first of a^propo^ed series of lectures on "The Reformation," at one of the College Society lialls, last Monday evening. The. lecture was well attended. The second of the series will be delivered at Center Church, next Sunday evening,

A LITTLE girl, daughter of Mr. W. H. Vanslykc, of this city, came very near losing her life last Monday, stepping into a cistern that had been carelessly left uncovered. Some persons heard the noise occasioned by her fall and succeeded in rescuing her before she had sustained any.serious injury. A?'

persons desirous of living over the days of the "good old times" arc? referred to a small volume entitled "Recollections of the Early Settlement of the Wabash Valley." The book is prepared by Sanford C. Cox, and the recollections extend as far back as the year 1824. For sale at the Corner Hook Store.

IT is proposed that a petition be circulated for signatures asking the Commissioners to ask a special law from the Legislature requiring them to take into consideration the propriety of thinking of having the mud-hole on Washington street, north of the Court House filled up so as to bring it within three feet of the grade of the sidewall:.

Wanted—A «Md, Easy Situation. "The mind ef man to vastly like a hire His thonghts so busy erer—all alive." It would be a curious "bifc of statistics if some one comld furnish'the exfact number of parsons who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of perpetual motion. It is something so much out of the usual routine of life to see a man bent on the accomplishment of a a impossibility, that we look upon him with no less wonder than pity. There is something more tl\im amusing in the tale of "Darius and His Plying Machine." The poor boy was so confident of his ability to navigate the air, that he selected the highest window of his father's barn as the point from whidi to begin his flight.

ands of

xBut

he wssr

so sensitive to the opinions of his brothers and sisters that he could miss a "Fourth of July" that he might try his experiment alone and in secret.

But notwithstanding the disappointment of Darius, other Dariuses still.oijeupy the field, trying experiments not lew hazardous. There is something sublime, notwith standing its inconsistency, in the deter^jn? ation of the person mentioned in the follow ing paragraph, clipped from an exchange:

A colored woman recently died of starvatioH in Georgia. She refused to work, declaring she was free and intended to stay so, bnried herself in the woods, and there her body was found.

It was ft hazardous experiment, but the faith with which it was tried is certainly commendable.

It is the same kind of faith and persistency thut gives respect to the modern applicants for "easy places." Every patent is' sued is an advertisement for agents but agencies have, of late years, become so crowded, that the "cneji-geti^ young man who was '"born ftr live *Withorft '"work,*' must resort to some other means than an agency to satisfy his ambition. Hence advertisements for "good, easy r-ituations.' The following is ft specimen:

A Cincinnati senilis advertises for a situation,•Saying that '-Work is not so much an object as sood wajes."

It is.but justice to t^e,etiterprise ofToun Aifcfriga*f say th4|t|le|||tlggafif •jgfniits'" is not the only one that has made his wants known to the public. On the other hand, it is cruel in the Boston Anvertiser to reeom nierid that he ••Ifci'Ve a. phitie' on jibe jpolic lbrce,"

Wc can look with contempt upon man who is always complaining of having ah ard time, but who makes no o.llort to improve his condition. But let him come out boldly and announce hinisell as a candidate, for some one of the the "easy places' ol the world, and his courage entitles hint to some degree of respect.

It is said, every man should '-paddle his own canoe," but, in these days, it is sometimes difficult to get a canoe to paddl There is an obvious deficiency in the supply of "genteel" situations. Horace Gree

ley

gives his testimony of this want in the following: I can

not

doubt that if A. T. Stewart should ad

vertise for clerks at one hundred dollars per annum and board, lie would have five thousands applicants before the week's end. And so of copying music and teaching.

It is not quite certain that the "Cincinnati genius" referred to would be an applicant." His object was wages, but there is so much in the character of the house, of which Mr. Greeley speaks, that it is probable the hope of higher wages would induce even such a "genius" as our friend of Cincinnati to seek a place in it.

But the fact still remains the same. Mr. Stewart's advertisement has not appeared. More "easy situations" are wanted. Patent medicine vending furnishes occupation to many. There are already scores of young men in every city and county engaged in selling books, pictures, jewelry, pateut scissors sharpeners, and the thous

other articles whose sale is the pe

culiar province of agents, but the want is still unsupplicd. There are not less than a million young men and women in the country who arc now wasting their time in idleness, or engaged in

uconnno

_i labor," be

cause of the want of "easy situations.^ In the name of this million of human beings bent on the possession of the nectar and ambrosia which only a "genteel',' occupation with good wages will supply, the dppeul is made for "good, easy situations."

CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL: FEBRUARY 18,1869.

Concerning Being Miserable "As some felr tulip, by ft storm oppressed ahrink. up, ftnd folds its silken arms to rest." Two characters delight to deal in misery. The one, the busy-body, delights in making other people miserable, and the other takes pleasure in his own misery. The latter is the rarer and more interesting of the two. The miserable man winds himself up like a clock, to run in misery till the weights get down. He feeds himself dainty bits of sad reflection, 6atB:awhile, and then Bleeps like & fat dog in fly time. lie father likes it. He has become accustomed to it as the dog to the collar about his neck, or the eripple to his wooden leg.

An old writer tells a story of ajmilk-maid •o happy that her only desire was that she might die in spring-time, to have a store of flowers stuck upon her winding sheet. The miserable man quite as happy in his own Wijrj dies tfihdusftftd times' year to enjoy the sweet comfort of knowing that nobody will plant flowers on his grave.

Byron speaks of a kind oi melancholy that isfcJ^ce^n everlasting- Ijpt the poet's'mise'ratjle man could not have been miserable on scientific principles, as men are now."

Indeed, there is something enviable tho «njeym#t of 4, maiv" aiiBicted with chronic misery. How nice it must be to make a feeble struggle with tho world, be disappointed, and then sneak away and make a martyr of one's self. How delightful it. pxust be to haujllc sucli .toys as fear, sorrow, suspicion and,jealousy, as a boy handles anew set ofinasrbles. And then to think that liobody ciires for one and that it makes no difference in the length of his days.! 'All—these wale. lr|oy*n?ut8- Which none but the miserable mkn can artord.
