"And bo you want to know about Garfield ? Well, I remember 'Jim' very pleasantly when he was driving for me on the Ohio canal." The speaker was & ruddy faced elderly man with white hair and a silvery beard. He sat tilted back in an old much whittled choir in a little, hot, fly haunted office at No. 152 Monticello avenue, Jersey City. Over the door was the name Jonathan Myers. "I was on the Ohio canal from 1838 to 1849," he continued, "as captain and owner of eanal boats. Let me neo, it roust have been about 1844 or 1845 that I first fell in with 'Jim.' I happened to want a driver — that was the way of it. The canal boats then were very largo and nicely fitted up for passengers. We could carry twenty-five in my boat. Then there was a place open amidships for the emigrants, who used to travel altogether by the canal. The crew slept in the stern cabin, and consisted of five men. There were two drivers, two steersman and one bowsman, who was on duty at every lock. "1 was very particulnr about the kind of men I engaged, for my wife often traveled with me, but I never had any fault to find with Mim.' 1 remembered hiin as a stout, plucky boy, large of his age — he couldn't have been more than )4X And he was as honest as the day is long. 1 could always trust his word, and I put confidence in him. Many of the drivers would lie and steal whenever they got a chance, but \Jim' was always square with everybody. He was temperate, had no had habiU, always faithfal* and seemed to take pride in doing his work well. He wasn't what would be called a groat talker, but he listened with all his might, and was all the time picking up bite of knowledge. He waa inclined to be very studious, but there

really wasan't much chance on the boat. Bit work waa bard, and no mistake. You see we bad four horses, and each driver took oare of two, which made a team. We called the horses engines, the drivers engineers and the steersman the pilots. Well, 'Jim1 would get on a horse and ride steadily for six hours. Usually in that time he'd only "take a bite of something on horseback, or perhaps rqn on boexd the boat a minute if she was waiting for anything. At the end of six hours 'Jim' wee Spelled' by the other driver. He then drove his horses on board, cleaned them down and fed them, and afterward got something to eat himself and took a nap. His time off was six hours, and then six hours on, and so on. 1 paid him $10 a month and gave him his board. The crew ate, as well as slept, in the stern cabin, and when we had passengers 'Jim1 and the others had to wait for the second table. "So he was really too hard worked to study or play much. Evenings he and the others would dive into the canal and swim along, holding on to the stern line. Some of the men used to play cards amidships, but1 Jim' never took a hand, and he never joined the men in their sprees at the end of the trip. But he wasn't any bkby — he could take care of himself. He never got into any fights I while he was with me, but the men all learned that ho couldn't be impoeed upon and he was very popular among them. When he came on board he was dreadfully poor — no money, and not much in the way of clothes. But he showed himself so ready and willing and obliging that I couldn't help being pleased with hiro, and the men, every one of them, became warm friends of his. Yes, sir, he always did his work well, and in all the time I spent on the canal I never had a better boy to work for me than 'Jim1 Garfield. After he had been with me a few months, cold weather came on, and the canal began to freese, so that we had to lay up. It was the boat's last trip, and 'Jim' saw that there wouldn't be anymore work on the boat, and he had a little money saved up, he began to talk of going to school. He didn't want to pay out any money for board, but he was looking for a place where he could do work in exchange for his board, and have all his money for schooling. "Well, I was sorry to lose 'Jim,' for I liked him and my wife had become veryfond of him. She never had anything to do with any of the men, because they drank and swore, but 'Jim* was such a clean, wholesome boy, that he was quite a favorite of hers. Slie'd always laugh when she recalled one thing site saw him do. We were up at Columbus and loading with barrels of pork, which wore being marked as they were being rolled on board. 'Jim' was quite fat then, and wore a big white hat. He looked on for a few moments, and then picking up the brush, marked bis hat "mess pork" and walked gravely off, while the men all ahouted at him. "As he had clearly made up his mind to attend school, I thought I could help him a little. I knew Dr. J. F. Robinson, who lived in Bedford. He kept a horse (for the doctors then usod to carryround their own medicinys,) a cow and a pig, and I thought 'Jim' might get a chance to work out his board with the doctor. 1 knew the doctor was ono of the nicest men in the world, so I gave 'Jim' a letter to him. Ho liked the looks of the boy, and took him. 'Jim' took care of the oow and horse, and attended school. He was very fond of his books, and learned fast. The doctor waa a Campbellite, and when they had some revivals there 'Jim' became converted and was a prominent speaker in the meetings. Afterward, you know, he went to Hiram College, where he beoame a professor after he graduated. "I've never seen him since he want to work for the doctor, but I've watched his career with the greatest interest. 1 know the kind of a boy he was — honest, plucky, faithful and trustworthy ; and the boy is father to the man,' you know. Soma people talk about his corruptions It isn't in him to be dishonest. Why, see here ; I know every town, almost every house in the district that has sent Garfield to Congress. Thvre isn't a district of the sire in the county where there are so many people who read and write. The people there are, as a rule, more intelligent and moral than the people of at\y district that 1 have visited. The young men and women are at home either in field and kitchen, or in the parlor. It is a comanuntty witb a high sense ef honor, wall •

informed, and iLt voters are men of knowledge and penetration, Mow, do you suppo** such a set of men would send Garfield year after year to Congress if they even suspected him "of perjury and dishonesty N. Y. Tauosa. • we Doet Farming Pay? There are many persons knowing that large fortunes are not suddenly gained in the pursuit of agriculture, who think for that reason that farming does not pay. They, therefore, seek some other employment hoping thereby they may rapidly aoquire wealth. Suoh person*! do not stop to consider carefully the field of pursuits that are spread before them. It is true that prinoely fortunes are sometime* made by those engaged in commercial pursuits, or in various kind*, of speculations but when we come to take into aeodunt the few that beoome wealthy in consideration of the number that are engaged therein, we find it to be less oertain of renumeration than almost any other occupation of life. It is said that ninety per cent, of those engaged in commercial pursuits, fail. But the remaining ten per cent, being successful are looked up to as alone worthy of praise and commendation. Those dissatisfied ones are not willing to look around them, and note the sue ceesful farmers who, although they have not amassed large fortunes, yet hkve re tired with competency. Although not rolling in wealth and luxury yet arc living in easy circumstances, with suf ficient of this world's goods to supply ; their wants and to satisfy the minds of those who have been trained in the school of industry and economy. While the children of the wealthy are raised with habits of indolence and vioe accustomed to every luxury that wealth can purchase they rarely have the energy to be successful in any occupation and the fortune thus amassed seldom lasts through the third generation. Their placee ere filled by young men reared on the farm trained to industrious habits, taught that economy ^ in living and honest intent of purpose are the stepping stones to success. In an article written by Washington Gladding, and published in the St. I Nicholas, for Feburary, he states that in his own city of Springfield, Mass., he wrote letters to one hundred of the < most successful business men, asking of them an account of their youthful | training. In reply he received answer* ! from eighty-nine, over seventy of which stated that they were reared on the farm. Then, does farming pap? More than four-fifths of the articles of export from this country are the products of the soil, therefore agriculture is a greater source ' of wealth than any other industry. It furnishes employment for nearly one half the people of the country. It furnishes food and the raw material for raiment for all classes of society. It fur nishes for the world four-fifthB of the successful men that are engaged in commercial pursuits. It fhmlshe* in a great measure the prominent profession al men of our country. Whether it is ' the industrious and fhigal habits to ! which they were trained, the pure and unadulterated food by which they are stimulated, the fVesh and vigorous atmosphere in which they are roared, or the fresh water they drink as it is drawn from the well or comes gushing from the mountain spring. Be that as it may J there is something that gives to man a greater amount of physical force and when it is accompanied by a brilliant intellect, gives to him more vigor ami vim and a greater amount of busitiex* energy ami endurance than is to be found in those who are reared in any other occupation of life.— < Glsancr. An Ii\famous Deed. About two months ago an envelope bearing a New York post-mark and directed to Anthdhy Corastock was deli vtrod at that office, No. 150 Nastus street, lie was absent at the time and the envelope being torn partly open, by rough handling in the mail, perhaps Mr. Ducret, his secretary, opened it in the pretence of several clerks in the office. It contained what appeared to l»e a porous plaster covered with foul matter. Its odoi was very offensive, and those in the office at that time were at onoe affected by an itching and prick ing sensation about the face. Duaret, who opened the envelope, handled the matter and smelled of it. When Mr. Gomttock arrived two hours later he suapetoed that the missive had been

■snt tri h im h j sn« sinensis fin Mm hid ily harm. He caused the package to be destroyed, and sending to e dreg store he procured a weak <or himself sad Us ' Jerks, as well at a duunfectsat lor his oftiot The subject was then dtwnisnii and thought no further d. Two weeks later, white Duoret wis walking w iWi his brother he nottoed a return of I t was accompanied by so unusual pur pie discoloration of the skin. JU W turned to his house at No. IU Clifton place, Brooklyn, ill. Beginning at the lower extremities the disease gsndosUy extended «p over kh whole body. The purpU nppemra of the skin wet succeeded by a reddish rash, accompanied by a high fever, sad Dr. Quinn, who was called in, Jold a reporter last night that the patient appeared at first sight to be suffering from scarlet fever. The rymptome, however, soon assumed more the appearance of erysipelas. Ducret has now been confined to his bed fbr seven weeks. During that tune the disease has been accompanied by conedant flaking off of the akin, and the fever has continued very high with but brief intervals. The joint* began V> swell, first on the left side, until it was found necessary to open the swelling at th« left knee-joint, end the left arm has become stiff at the elbow. At pros1 ent the right knee is greatly swollen, and a similar operation will have to be performed. The patient is helptcm and is in constant suffering. He her wasted sway almost to a skeleton, and his physicians fear that he will not bare i strength to withstand the disease. Dr. Quinn said last evening that Ducret was ! far from being oat of danger, but they hod hope that he would be able to hold out until the blood-poison had been ex- | polled. Mr. Corns tock, who was found at has residence, No. 354 Grand avenue, Brooklyn, said last evening that he had been anxious to keep the facts ef Dueret'a sickness from the public fbr aeveral reasons, one of which was that he did not • desire to give the perpetrator of the j deed— -which he imputes without que*- ; tion to a vicious intent — the satisfaction of knowing that his missive had so nearly reached its destination. He said that he was satisfied that he knew who j sent it. but he was afraid he could not command evidenoe enough on which to make any arrest. He suspected a prae- : titioner in New York whom he says he ' once arrested for a crime, and to whom he afterwards traced an infernal machine which he bad received by mail, but from which he had escaped uninjured. The address of the present package, be aays, was in the same handwriting. Ducret. who is but twentythree, he says was a most faitliiul young man in the discharge of his duties as stenographer and secretary, and the Society for the Suppression of Vioe has cared for him during his sicknem.— Tblsoxafb. TV Fine Fund. « It is a matter of newt not generally known that the Penntylyania Railroad Company fines its employees for negli1 gcnce, mistake*, disobedience of orders, otc. Every effort is made to secure promptness, abedience and the utmost oare in the work done. These fines, of ix>ur*e, aggregate a Urge sum of money, mid this is placed to the credit of what is known as "The Fine Fund." This is the method used to systemise the working of the road. Now, then, for the other side. As this money all comes from the employees so it goes back to them. If a hand is injured and loses a leg, the company in all propahilit? buys liitn a cork leg. If a workman is killed, whether through his own carelessness or that of the company, the chances are that his family will receive a check to pay funeral expenses. A valued band on case of extreme sickness may be aided financially, and so it goes. As fast as the money comes in from fines it goes out again to relieve the unfortunate among the railroad men, all of which •hows up a simplified system that seems to us admirable in every respect.— Can i>*n Tost. *~e~» — A child fell in the paper mill taceway tit Saugerties, New Y ork, a few days ago, and was being swept swiftly toward the fall when its mother, at the risk of her lift, jumped into the water, which ~uns so swiftly an expert swimmer would find difficulty in keeping his feet, and etching the child in her arms, waded i*fely ashore with it » m m + ■■ 57^ Honesty always pays in the sod.
