Advice to.YoiinMen by Gov. Jams. : Gov. Jarvis, ! in - his inaugural addressy gives the following excellent advice to 'ttoa young men of tjhe State, which. ;tney .wqul do well to consider. , Says he : ' ;, . t : "There : ia' too great a tendency, I fear, among our young men - to leave the farms and workshops of the country ; .some i for employment in what they think the more honorable : vocations in I cities and ; towns ; others,? more - ambitious,; for the : supposed ease and glory of professional life.; Public opinion ii not altogether!. 'blameless for this mistake, and. Ishosldl hasten to correct it far it often leads these young men into lailures, and . failures ; into! vices. ' . The successful farmer or mechanic is none the less hofopr able and useful than the successful! i lawyer or. doctor; and -how iriconrparaMy f greater is he in either than he who fails in the pro fession. I cannot forbear, in this connec tion, to refer to the example of a young triend of mine as. worthy of imitation, and to ask young men to study it. Although a son of a distinguished ex-Supreme Court Judge and a nephew of one of the State's most useful Governors, he went into a work shop as a boy, worked at his trade, and is now the master machinist of a Railroad Company. , The example of such men is val uable in any community, and will give to labor the dignity and respect it deserves. -While the investment of capital and the introduction of immigration into the State will greatly help the development of their resources, yet she must rely chiefly upon the labor and devotion of her own sons and daughters for the wealth and glory and power which, of right, belong to her and will surely come. Labor is the creator of wealth and is honorable of all men. The man who, in the sweat of hi brow, makes the hidden properties of the seed,"" the soil and the air, under nature's wondrous guid ance, to grow into golden grain or fleecy cotton, or who, with fire and furnace, trans mutes the rough ore into serviceable metal, or, by forge and anvil, still further trans forms the metal into tools for man's use, and with them builds houses and cities, creates the wealth of the State." 1 ii . The Presidential Traveling Car., Gen. Garfield and his family will make the trip from Mentor to Washington in a mag- uincent palace car, belonging to W. D. Washburn, President of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad. It is entirely new, is undoubtedly the finest railroad car ever built, exceeding in beauty and comfort that constructed for the Emperor of Brazil, which was exhibited at the Centennial. The principal features are the great variety and beauty of the woods used in adorning its interior. The President's private apart ment is decorated with ebony, carved in beautiful designs on snow-white hollv. which gives a very rich effect. The ceiling in this room is inlaid with various colored woods, embellished with gold. The bed when folded up resembles a wardrobe at tached to the partition. There are sleeping accommodations for six other persons in two compartments. The drawing-room contains a parlor set of carved ebony, up holstered with satin damask, and the car pets are 01 rich design. The dining-room, wash-room, and closets are fitted up with a view to positive comfort. The car cost about $17,000. VALENTINES.

A The United States Supreme Court! : To begin With, there is a degree of digni- tutjr and stately bearing -about the Court tod its members Which permeates even to the most humble attache. There is a quiet in the court-room which recalls the Sabbath Of the: CoTenanters., ' When one enters, the involuntary feeling comes on that the room is set aside --only for -the contemplation of the sober side of life, and woe to him who? jibes or jokes in the presence of the Court. The Court is opened about this fashion. - At lfe o'clock (neon) the Justices come in from the consulting-room and -take their seats on the'bench. JAway to the' left- of the cham- fber is seen a youthful officer; whose busi ness is to catch the first glimpse of the ad vancing Judges. -'Then - comes three raps witb;a ponderous gavel by the same officer; This'is meant as a signal for the audit ntfte to rise. Then, with the Chief Justice in ad vance, the Judges enter from the right of the chamber. - To the rear of the Justices' seats is an aisle. In the centre is an arched entrance for the Chief Justice. Through this aisle the Judges file and take positions right and left. None enter until the Chief Justice emerges from the centre entrance. After all have filed in the Chief Justice makes a graceful obeisance to the standing audience. Then the Justices take seats, a stroke of the gavel is made, and the audience seats itself. The opening of the Court falls upon a youthful officer. It is after the old English form, "Ob, yes ; oh, yes," etc., and concludes with the words, "God bless the honorable Supreme Court." The Court is now ready for business. All the Justices are clad in black silk gowns with an ecclesiastical cut. In the dispatch of business the Chief Justice is quite expedi tious. He is always ready with a reply to questions, and eminently satisfactory. The Justices on the bench assume different at titudes. Justice Miller sinks down low in his chair, and little can be seen of him but the top of his head ; so also does Justice Bradley. The Chief Justice sits erect most of the time when not hearing an argument, busy in consulting the calendar. Judge Harlan is the most striking in appearance of any of the Judges. He is tall, well built, and sits erect. Washington Star. Ill American Pearls. TFrom the New York PostJ While an Evening Post reporter was in the store of Tiffany & Co. recently, some small pink pearls arrived from the West, which led to an inquiry on the part of the reporter as to the extent to which pearls were found in this country. Mr John R. Andrews, who is at the head of the jewel department, said that about $50,000 worth of American pearls are bought by Tiffany & Co. every year. With the exception of about $3,000 worth of pearls, which come from fresh water mus sels, and are found all over the Union principally in the Miami River, Ohio the American pearls come from the Gulf of Cal ifornia. They are as fine as any Oriental pearls, and are valued as highly. The fresh water pearls are almost all small, but bril liant and somewhat rosy in tint. About half of the California pearls are black, and command a better price than the white pearls. Some years ago about eighty per centum of California pearls were black, the proportion having diminished rapidly dur ing the last ten years. The biggest pearl ever found in this country was the celebra ted one found about twenty years ago in a New Jersey pond, and sold to the then Em press Eugenie. Of late many small and almost worthless pearls have been received from Texas farm ers, who have an exaggerated notion of their value. The firm buys them more as a mat ter of enconragement to the pearl-hunters than anything else. Some day these hun ters may discover valuable gems and their custom may be worth something. Mr An drews showed the reporter a handful of these small, pink, irregular shaped pearls, the majority of them not larger than a pin head. . The larger they are the more defec tive they are in the shape and color. Some of the larger ones might be mistaken for bits of bone polished up. The only use to which they can be put is for replacing lost pearls in old jewelry of no great value, which is sent for repair. Sometimes they can be cut into thin pieces, and a small piece of fair pearl can be obtained for enam eling. The finest string of pearls ever brought to this country is now in the possesnion of the firm. It consists of sixty pearls, the largest being about the size of a wren's egg. Every pearl is perfectly round and pure in its color, and not one of them is valued at less than $500. While examining this string the reporter happened to remark that he could not tell the difference between that string of enor mous value and one of imitation pearls. "No J more can any one," said Mr Andrews, "until they are handled. The best experts can not tell a good imitation pearl from the real without touching it. The weight is defi cient in imitation pearls, and . the surface is difFVreLt to an experienced hand. They can only be distinguished by touch and weight. But every pearl in a ball-room might be false without the best expert in the trade suspecting it." ' 1 1 1 SSif The Mormons are still working at their new Temple. It is now twenty years since it was commenced. $4,000,000 have been expended and it is one-fourth comple ted. The building is being constructed of Utah granite, and when finished will be the finest Church edifice, if not the finest build ing, in America. It will require $28,000,000 to complete the Temple. - SThe Kansas City Times would like to hear it explained why we speak of "Mrs. Dr. Jones and Mrs. Colonel Thompson," and never have anything to say of "3Irs. Lawyer Smith and Mrs. Editor Wilson ?" . " : ; '. , Eeadin? ond.': ; ; ; : ; i r ."How should i we read?" asks, Bishop Alonzo Potter in his still UReful hand-book for readers ; and then, the, good -Bishop! pro ceeds to answer the question in four, replies: "First, thoughtfully. and critically ; second-; Iy, in company with a friend or your family j thirdly, repeatedly; fourthly, with pen io hand."' ) .. ::.iiiti. ji J ,i 'jut j i . 1 Reading aloud, !n the company f others -the. practice commended by 'Bishop Pot ter in the second of these rules is in every way advantageous. Its least important ad vantage is- nevertheless highly 'salutary'; that it affords valuable means for elocution ary development; and, aside from this, it promotes thought,' it stimulates ' one i'mind by contact with another: and it almost' in evitably calls forth, by discussldri'actsaad opinions' which "blhefwile" would, not "hlaVefe been considered. ' r"" ": ; 1 In one of his recent jeremiads on the al leged decline and inutility of the public school system, Mr Richard Grant White of fers some "suggestions on the training of classes in the art of reading aloud, which are so sound and sensible that they may well be repeated here for general readers as well as educators. . ' 1 "Of all knowledge and mental training,' says Mr White, "reading is in our day the principal means, and reading aloud intelli gently the unmistakable,' if not the only, sign. Yet this, which was so common when the present generation of mature men were boys, is just what our highly and scientifi cally educational educators seem either most incapable or. most neglectful of teaching. And yet the means by which children were made intelligent and intelligible readers. thirty-five or forty years ago, were not so recondite as to be beyond attainment and use by a teacher of moderate abilities and acquirement, who set himself earnestly to his work. As I remember it, this was the way in which we were taught to read with pleasure to ourselves and with at least sat isfaction to our readers. Boys of not more than seven to nine years old were exercised in defining words from an abridged diction ary. The word was spelled and the defini tion given from memory, and then the teacher asked questions which tested the pupil's comprehension of the definition that he had given, . and the members ot the class, never more than a dozen or fourteen in number, were encouraged to give in their own . language their notion of the word and to distinguish it from so-called syno nyms. As to the amount of knowledge that was thus gained, it was. very little little, at least, in comparison with the value of this exercise as education, that is, of mental training, which was very great. The same class read aloud every day, and the books that they read were of sufficient interest to tempt boys to read them of themselves. When the reading began, all the class were obliged to follow the reader, each in his own book ; for any pupil was liable to be called upon to take up the reci tation, even at an unfinished sentence, and go on with it ; and if he hesitated in such a manner as showed that his eye and mind were not with the reader's, the effect upon his mark account was the same as if he himself had failed in reading. If the read ing of any sentence did not show a just ap prehension of its meaning, the reader was stopped and the sentence was passed through the class for a better expression of its sense. Whether this was obtained from the pupils or not, the teacher then explained the sense or gave some information, the want of which had caused the failure, and by repetition of both readings the bad and the good showed by contrast and by comment why the one was bad and why the other good. Words were explained; if they were compound words they were an alyzed ; the different shades of meaning which words have in different connections were remarked upon, and the subject of the essay, the narration, or the poem which formed the lesson for the day was explained. The delivery of the voice was attended to ; not in any pretentious, artificial, elocution ary way, but with such regard for cood and pleasant speech as was dictated by common sense and good breeding. The young readers were not allowed to hang their heads either over their bosoms or over their shoulders, but were made to stand up straight, throw back their shoulders, lift their heads well up, so that if their eyes were taken from their books, they would look a man straight in the face. Only in this position can the voice be well delivered. The slightest mispronunciation was, of course, observed and corrected, and not only so, but bad enunciation was checked, and all slovenly mumbling was reprehended, and as far as possible reformed. The end sought was an intelligent, natural, and sim ple delivery of every sentence. ' Of course, a lesson in reading like this was no trifling matter. It was, indeed, the longest recita tion of the session, and the one at which the instructive powers of the teacher were most severely tested. " But it was the most val uable, the most important lesson of the day. By it the pupil was taught not only, to read well and speak well, but to think. His powers of attention and apprehension, were put in exercise, and he was obliged to dis criminate shades ot meaning before be could express them by inflection of .voice. Read ing aloud well was then regarded as inferior in importance to no other 'branch of educa tion ; it was practiced until pupils were prepared to enter college, the later reading lessons being taken from Milton or Pope or Burke,' or some other writers of the highest class, and being again accompanied by ex planation and criticism. - In the earlier years of a boy's school time any other." reci tation .would be omitted by ' the 'teacher sooner, than that' in reading aload. How it is, or why it is, that such instruction in read ing has fallen into disuse I do not know. Indeed, I know, that it is 'disused only . by the chorus of complaint that goes up on all sides, both in England and in the United States1,' that children cannot read aldud; and that they, cannot write from ;' dictation. This; of. course', 'dould' riot ,!e" . M; children were taught 1 in the, manner1 which I have endeavored1 to , describe: A school-boy! of eighfc'dr nine feirs,old,J; it taught in that way,' would .kiidwp how" to ''read English aloud j decently. Well,' if 1 he';- knew nothing else.' ' f And it ls'real jy more important that M should kooV. how to ' do this ' well, 1 and that he should learn; to dd it 'iti spine 'such manner as. I have .'described, than: .'that! he should' begin the study1 or the' arts, and sciences."., , ' V '"Wr 1 '1 y .j In this ..cbniiectioa'. thee" occurs' to ,tho mindf W single verse of the Bible,' whibh cbm pfise'si in twenty three words, a whole trea tise on the art of reading aloud j. they read In the book in the Jaw of God distinct ly, and gave the sense! and caused ' them to n j . Teaching and Training. Why have so many' well taught: young persons gone astray ? Because ;they were only well taught and were not well train ed. The precept is not : Teach a child the way ho should go but .'Train np a child." .Wide experience is showing mankind that, necessary as teaching is, training ..is even more essential. Solomon seems to have un derstood the principle, in theory ,J at ' least, intuitively ; whether he put it in practice whether he himself trained as well as t aught may . be doubtful.,. Many modern parents assiduous, faithful, earnest in ' teaching, omit training; , and, because, of this , omis sion their sons grow up wayward and their daughters idle, yet they themselves cannot understand why their hopes and efforts have been disappointed. The difference, though not obvious, is great.! r Teaching communicates '.'.ideas. Training forms habits. ; Teaching imparts knowledge.. Training develops power. , In teaching, the . adult, explains words, , In training, he shows methods, r Vnder. teach ing, the child hears what is said; under training, he sees what is done. Teaching is a spur that urges onward. ; Training is food which gives strength;to run. 'Again, teaching is apt to beget aversion, it palls if prolonged, and almost necessarily . grows irksome . from the repetition! it' involves. Training wins 6nes liking;", it whets an ap petite for itself.' . ''. , , . In many branches of tuition this is. so well understood that training forms the chief element in the master's work ,,What teacher of the voice or. of instruments, what writing master, what artist, would instruct wholly, or even chiefly, by explaining the theory ? When an art is;td be taught , all understand that example'; and - practice are the most essential means of progress; the teacher is to "show the pupil bow.' But when the moral training of the young is in question, when family ., education is , ob served, how little is seen, even among the most thoughtful and cultured classes, of systematic, judicious pains taken to show the children how. . Now, it is not enough to provide good books, or even give lucid and repeated explanations . about honesty) courage, gratitude, ; economy, industry, courtesy, . or' the like; . training in -these things is needful. ,- ! , . . , ,, : .; . Trace this difference with respect to some practical subject out of the range of school instruction. Take, for example, the child's learning the use of money. ' All . will agree that this is important to be learned at home. A young man or woman who "reaches ma turity without judicious views and habits in regard to the management "of, money .has but slender prospect of,! prosperity and comfort. Yet, in multitudes of, families, what means are employed, to 'develop the quality, beyond a few' occasional, criticisms upon a neighbor's extravagance or, want of thrift, and a reading now and. then of an extract from' Poor Richard ? t Butr mean time, the children receive pocket, money without system or method; asking it when they please, and if the parent has it to spare it is given ; if notj they go ! without.
