BANKRUPTCY is an expensive business —to the creditors. It is coming to pass that creditors expect little from a bankrupt estate. The other day an Individ ual in New York who was appointed receiver for a bankrupt firm made a report. lie said the receipts amounted to ^4,427.72 and tbe expenses of his receivership to f4,346 85, besides f200 coun sel fee and his own commission.

Two Methodist clergymen who dis nominate the gospel in New York city after much mental suffering and inde cision, exchanged their gold watches for plain silver ones. Tbey decided that "it was not in keeping with the office of the ministry of Christ to display jewels and ornaments of fine gold?' and that "divested of all evidences of earthly pride they would be better prepared for usefulness as preachers of God's word," Is conscience about to become epidemic

IN an interview with a reporter, Secretary Evarts compared himself to" a Connecticut farmer's stone wall which was built four feet high and five feet wide, so that in case it should blow over it would be higher than before. Ho, he said, if Conkling should succeed in bis efforts to tip bim out or tbe Cabinet, he would go from a salary of $8,000 to a practice of $40,000 a year. But he thought the chances were that Conk ling would not be able to tip him or anybody else out of the Cabinet. Mr. Evarts evidently has carried some of the lawyer's pluck into politics.

THR Washington Post, a new and lively Democratic daily, after comment ing on a Naval Commission just ap pointed by Secretary Thompson, pays this high compliment to our honored townsman: "But there 19 another Commission urgently needed—a Commission of one, and that one the Secretary of the Navy not the Secretary acting through Bureaus or Boards, guided and controlled by their interested advice, or checked by the counsels of senile specialists, but R. W. Thompson, the clear-beaded, straightforward, honest, energetic man from tbe Wabash."

IT is not so clear that Senator Conkling wilt be able to sustain his quasi victory over the President on tbe reassembling of Congress. His temporary success was gained by the aid of Democratic votes and it is now authoritatively announced by Democratic papers at Washington that he will not be supported again by Democratic Senators if he continues tbe contest with the President over the New York nominations. If this announcement is made good the nominations which the President will send to the Senate for tbe New York Custom House will be promptly confirmed by that body.

THK necreologioal liit for tbe year 1877, includes, among many others, the following eminent names: Cornelius Vandorbilt, Parson Brownlow, Fletcher Harper, last survivor of the "Harper Brothers,'' John Lothrop Motley, the historian, Mrs. Norton, the poetess, Rev. John S. C. Abbott, the author, Robert l)alo Owen, Brigham Young, E. L. Davenport, Ren De Bar and Edwin Adams, actors, M. Tltiena, the singer, M. Thiers, ex-President of the French Republic, Leverrier, the astronomer, Bagebot, tbe English political economist, and Senator Morton, tho statesman. Each year mows them down.

IN the absorption of the Galaxy by tbe Atlantic Monthly the reading public will miss a bright star from the literary firmament, but perhaps the Atlantic will take on added lustra by tho change. There is always something sad in the failure of a worthy enterprise, bat after all, perhaps it would be as satisfactory to the reading community if the number of first-class magazines was limited to two or three, which ahould contain the productions of the beat literary talent of the country, for when the number is larger each one has something in it that the reader or taste feels that be cannot atTord to tnisn, and yet tbe purchase of al! of them requires a greater outlay of money than he can afford to spend for magazine literature.

AT tbe recent bankrupt sale of the effects of J. B. Ford it Co., publishers, of New York, thglr contract with Beecber for the publication of "The Life of Christ" was bought for f1,000, by Mr. A. H. Wright, a retired merchant, Mr. Wright told a reporter that he bad made tbe purchase purely as a business speculation because be thought tbat if tbe contract was completed it would be quite profitable to botb author ami publisher. Mr. Beech*r was paid f10,000 in cash on tbe contract and then failed to complete the work and it Is reported tbat Mr. Wright will now ifquim him to fulfill hiscontrsHt j.J- ilw book or will sue him i» i. l«n 110W30 and damage* for Ms breach cf tbe contract.

mmm

wfc*

Under such a threat it is quite probable that Mr. Beecher would complete tbe book, but whether the last part of tbe work, prosecuted from such a motive and under snch compulsion, would prove as popQlar and saleable as tbe first volume, written and published under far different circumstances, is a question upon which doubts may arise.

They have no accurate physiological Idea of bow tbat new baby came into the family, but they do know that tbe doctor and the nurse are not telling them the truth about it. They no longer strive with sleepless anxiety to keep from putting their tongues into the cavity of a pulled tooth in order that a gold one may grow there and while in some doubt as to just what makes the thunder, you can't fool them with any Btory about angels rolling tenpins.

So In their literature as in their talk do we note the change. The charming audacity of Puss-in-Boots and the adventurous courage of Jack-o'-the-Bean-stalk, the tender oourtship of the Beast and tho devoted affection of Beauty, the wrath of Blue Beard and the tearful watch of Sister Anne, are all black letter mysteries to tbe nursery reader of today. In their place arc the heroes of Oliver Optic and Mayne Rerid, and tbe nico little girls of Aunt Sue's and Aunt Katy's series. Dear old Mother Goose, too, with her thousand happy memories, is packed away on the dust covered shelves of the dead languages.

This is all the correct thing, doubtless, and perhaps tbe young idea shoots more rapidly from a soil of fact than one of fancy and yet there was a nameless charm about this childish faith in oar olden nursery lore that brought the skyland far nearer to our infancy than it oomes under tbe materialistic light of nowadays. i* ,-i "J jj^

The Indianapolis News concludes criticism of the recent State Teachers' Association with some very

sensible

remarks, "Why is it/' it asks, "that in times of business stagnation crime

stalks

abroad, on 'change, in the counting bouse, in tbe pulpit 7" and answers the question by saying there are idle

bands

everywhere. Idleness means moral degradation, vice, crime .industry enforces morality. The teacher? may have the Bible in their schools or not, they may instruct their pupils in all the doctrines of morality and set before them shining examples of njoral rectitude, but it will all be vain unless they are taught habits of industry.. An

educated

man wbo, lg .vidouj-'^r worse than a vicious ignorant man,v because his knowledge enlarges bis power of working injury.

Here is a duty then that confronts every parent, be lie rich or poor—the duty of inculcating habits of industry in his children. Whether they need to work is not tbe question it is their moral duty to work, to be busy with head or band in some useful occupation. It is a great mistake that some parents make, in allowing their sons and daughters to grow up in habits of idleness. No matter what tbe circustances of the parents may be, their children should be taught that, idleness is dishonorable, and tbat be alone is a worthy member of tbe community who is a producer of something. The^humanl.hive has no more use for drones than the,hive of the bees. Banish all idleness, enforced or voluntary, from society and there will be small use for jails and gibbets. "I can wish no man anything better during tbe coming year," said an eminent divine the other day, "than tbat he may find some good piece of work to do and doit well"—a wish tbat comprehended the best fortune life can bestow.

THE YTHS OF BO YHOOD. Among the materialistic tendencies of modern days—tendencies that are shattering old creeds, faiths, and fancies as pieces of worn delfno longer fit to ornament the intellectual shelf—there is none more noti6eable than that which carries our youngsters out of the ancient realm of dreamland, and turns them into venerable realists before they are scarcely old enough to go to school. There are no children now—they are little old men and women. The chubby faced infidel of to-day has swept away with a wave of bis dimpled hand all that golden flood of legendary lore that rocked and swung in grandmother's cradle and song, and rippled musically on grandsire's knee. The ancient deities are stricken down, and'there are none to fill their places. The skeptics of tbe nursery no longer cuddle under the bed clothes on Christmas Eve, and listen for the prancing and pawing of Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Yixen they have nothing but sneers for the go6gel of child loving Clement Moore and our jolly Santa Claus with his red nose and,white beard and his little round belly, that shook when he laughed," is less of a truth to them than the Olympian deities are to us. All the poetry of their folk-lore has faded in the light of science and philosophy. Tbey no longer tramp over bog and meadow in search of-the bag of gold at the end of a rainbow, and never any more look with wondering eyes at tbe brilliant arohdome down* which they slid in a basket years agone.

Some of the best people are in the habit of reading aloud to their families, and also to their transient guests—an excellent thing to do, when it is seasonable and kept within proper bounds, and pains are taken to select such reading as is likely to be interesting a well as profitable. But one who has a mania for reading aloud is not likely to regard any of these conditions.

No matter bow intent th* household may be in other matters, down comes the terrible old book, along wbose weary pages "the mark" lias been steadily traveling for so many long evenings, and hour by hour the "guardian of

THE ART OF LEAVING OFF. It is a great thing to know when to stop. This is true In a great many relations of life. There are persons who have "the gift of continuanoe" in ordinary, every day talk to an alatoiing degree. When it would seem as if they must have exhausted themselves,*they come back to the same old point, and start off again in the same circle, as fresh and vigorous as ever. Or Hiey may keep straight on without coming back at all, switching off from one railto another without losing an instant's headway—tbe first line of thought suggesting another, and the second leadon to a third, and so on indefinitely.'

Men who have posted themselves in some particular matters, of which their auditors are presumed to know nothiwg —men who have hobbies, which they ride without any regard to the state of the roads, or tbe weather, or the comfort of others—men who have identified themselves with "a cause," upon which they think the destiny of the world depends—men with grievances are apt to transgress in this way. The latter class are often tempted to say very much more than they originally intended. There is nothing that quickens the sense of our wrongs so much as talking or writing about them. And the utterance of one sharp tbing prompts us to say something a little more stinging.

All interminable talkers are inclined to dwell very much upon their own af fairs, even when they have no special grievance. It may be hard for us to listen without any show of interest, but then almost everyone is liable at times to say a great deal more than is expedient and when he wakes up the next morning just before daylight—for this is the hour of our most terrible self inspection—he will be very likely to say to himself with an inward groan, "Why was I such a foci as to pour all these things into the ear of one who cares no more about my concerns than he does for the Choctaws? If I only had left of! a little sooner!'

reads on, perhaps not in a drnn-

npc way, which might have a soothing influence, but with a degree of chronic animation that only serves to make tbe performance all tbe more irritating. If they only knew when to leaye 'otP it would be a great blessing.

There are public speak'

era 'who have

no appreciation of the art of leaving off. After tbey have said all that they have to say—and this may not be much—they begin over again, and with some slight variations, travel over the same old road which, perhaps, was never very attractive. Every little while they reach a point where you think tbev must stop, out on tbey trudge through tbe dust as persistently and doegedly as ever.

The aggravation is all tbe greater when the speaker, at certain intervals, excites tbe hope thst you are soon to be relieved, intimating that he had but little more to say. or tbat "he fears lest he may weary nis auditors," or tbat "tbe lateness of tbe hour will prevent bim from saying all tbat he intended." Who does not remember the sinking of heart with which, after an hour or more of sermon, one beard "the few concluding remarks" followed by a "lastly" and that by a "finally," and so on until it seemed as though tbe real end never would comt? How often the whole ef ft.ct of a meeting is spoiled by stupid persistency in occupying tho time allotted to other speakers, whom' the audience were anxious to hear. And how often is the whole effect of an argument or appeal absolutely nullified by mere prolixity of the speaker, for there will come a period when the hearer braces himself to resist all argument and appeal in sheer revenge for the speaker's tedlousnees.

There are also writers of books who never learn the art of leavlnff og at the right place. Iooldeu times, when the

ftresa

was not as prolific at* it now Is, bis did not matter so much. Still it ia appalling to see what an smfnnt ol ototh tbey sometiims manufactured out of a comparatively small quantity of wool.

There is a limit to the human faculties, _j there is to human endurance, and when tbat ia reached it ia well to stop. How many have lost alt they had ac quired by a life of energy and toil, by just holding on too long, and persisting in business after tbey were disqualified for it. How many more wear them •elves out prematurely by not knowing how or when to leave off In tbe active transactions of every day life, carrying tbeir burden with them everywhere snd at all seasons. When you have come in from the field, or locked your shop door, to go home to your wife and children, leave your worn behind you,

and do

not talk or eren think about it

THE WHIPPING POST. There ia talk In New York of the revival of the whipping-post, and itiasur* prising to find how many of the leading men of that city favor its restoration. Their views have been aolicited by the interviewers of Tbe Times, and they expresa themselves uniformly for the reestablishment of that form of punishment for minor offenses. When a man of the humanitarian principles of Mr. Henry Bergb pronounces openly in favor of it, we may be sure there is \a atrong publio sentiment developed in favor or the whipping post.

Mr. Bergh says it is all bosh to talk of debasing a man by whipping him. It he will do the things deserving a sound thrashing he Is debased already. "No speaker,71 he says, "from Demosthenes down to the present day, has been able to use arguments so logical, so clear, so fitted to the dullest comprehension, and so convincing, as a licking." He is of thq opinion if the whipping-post wero re-established the julls and penitentiaries would have plenty of room to spare and so think many others.

The old records of the city of New York have been ransacked, and it appears tbat no one who was sentenced to a whipping for small offenses against society ever appeared again before the magistrate. One lesson was enough. Mr. Burgh witnessed tbe process of a bastinado in a court at Cairo, and inquiring through an interpreter whether the same customers came around frequently, was told that once WHS enough. So seldom was a second bastinado required that they might say it was almost never.

In the English colony of Ceylon an English magistrate, who hated tbe lasb, practically abolished public whipping, but offenses of all tbe smaller kinds soon ran riot, aud the authority was almost a sbam. His successor was a Bteru magistrate. He applied the lash freely, and in a short time it was one of the most orderly of tho English colonies.

Delaware, it is known, has maintained the whipping post as apart of her penal system, and in the face of tbe sneers and gibes of the people of other States. But there is not a State in the Union where public order is batter maintained or where life and property are more securo. The average of intelligence and culture is not higher in Delaware than in other Sla'es. She is sufficiently near New York and other great centres of population in tbe East to receive tbe overflow of tbe vagabonds and evildoers who are spewed about now and then in the rural districts. But tbey give Delaware a wide berth. The people are not much troubled by tramps, petty thieves and other small rascals, who vagabondize and make tbeir living by pilfering. The State is remarkably free of such trasb, and the people are inclined to believe it is largely due to a wholesome fear of the lickings which the sheriffs, in due process of law, are authorized to lay on, To "whip the rascal naked through the world" was Shakepeare's idea of properly punishing a rogue.

The testimony of experience therefore is in favor of the whipping post as a mode of punishing for minor offenses. Its restoration does look like progressing crab fashion bu* it is possible the humaDiUrianisai of tbe age has gone beyond ihe ceee»Bities of its social condition, and that a revival of a mode of punishing tbat is admittedly efficacious and calculated to repress the tendency to small vices, would be in the nature of asocial reform. There area good many people, at any rate, who are seriously thinking it would be for tbe best to try the experiment, and that "forty stripes save one" well administered would enlighten if not refine those who feel insensible to moral suasion and impervious to the appeals of conscience.

COMMERCIAL FAIL VRES. [Peoria Call.] Commercial failures have become so frpquent of late as to excite little comment outside the circle of those immediately interested as creditors. But this is not all, nor tbe woist. A business failure now-a-days is not regarded as it was a fourth of a century since. Then, the man who went under was compelled to furnish good and sufficient reasons for his failure, or the seal of public condemnation was put upon him, and he never rose to his former position of respectability.

There has latterly been an almost complete reversal of this style of morals. Men fail now-a-aday#. and do not always give good and sufficient reasons for their real or professed inability to meet their business, obligation.-. A meeting of the creditors is called, a few qnestions are asked, the liabilities and assets are compared, tKe value of the latter is estimated, a proposition comes from tbe bankrupt to settle at ten, twenty, fifty or seventy cents on the dollar, It is accepted and forthwl'h tbe doors are thrown open and business started anew and apparently with all the capital needed to carry it on successfully.

Where the money comes from tbe creditors are at a loss to conjecture. All they know is, that they have agreed to acrept a fourth or a half of their honest dues, and tbat the man with whom they have just compromised is doing business as vigorously as ever, lives just as fast, and is apparently tbe most contented snd happiest fellow out of jail. This is not always the case, but in view ®f what commercial Integrity should be, it bappens too frequently, and is working irreparable mischief.

If you see a lady and gentleman disagree upon trifling ocoasiona, or correcting each other in company, you may be assured tbey have lied the matrimonial noose.

If you see a silent pair In a car or stage^lolling carelessly, one at each window, without seeming to know they have a companion, the sign is infallible.

If you see a lady drop her glove and a gentleman by the side of her, kHdly telling ber to plok it up, you need not hesitate in forming your opinion or,

If you see a lady whose beauty and accomplishments attract tbe attention of every gentleman in tbe room but one, you have no difficulty in determining their relationship to each other—the one is her husband.

If you sea a gentleman particularly oourtoqus, obliging and good natured, relaxeointo smiles, saying sharp things and toying with every pretty woman in the room, excepting one, to whom he appears particularly cold and formal, and is unreasonably cross—who tbst one is, nobody can be at a loss to discover.

Tbe rules above quoted are laid down as infallible in iust interpretation—they may be resorted to with confidence, they are upon unerring principles, and de ducea from every day experience. 1 11
