THE CHRONICLE.
A POEM.
Read by A. McGregor, of the "Stark
County Democrat," on the occasion of the
Editorial Banquet, giyen by the citizens
of Canton, at the St. Cloud Hotel, in said
City, on the evening of Thursday, June
2G, 1873.
We read, in old Mythology, great Jupiter would
call
A aiceting of the greater gods, In high Olympus
hall;
There, In assembled Senate, would he distinctly
state.
His mighty will, and there decree it bo fulfilled
by fate;
The greater Power were ready to obey each high
command,
And carry out the mandates, by air, and scs, and
land;
Old Neptune, with hi trident, was paramount
sea,
And oldEolus ruled the winds with high suthorii
ty;-
The earth was more divided, with matters slight
ly mixed;
And even yet, 'tie eTidcnt that things are hardly
fixed,
And in that distant period, confusion would
sue.
Whene'er the charming Godcsses would some
thing have in view,
There's Juno and Diana, and others I might name,
Who troubled father Jupiter with more than
love's own tamo,
But all these michtv potentates havo passed to
their account I
And 'tis of little moment now to what they did
amount :
Another class, the lesser gods, more numerous
" they say ;
More circumscribed in power and range, tho use
ful in their way : ,
Among these were the Household Gods, devoted
, to "Sweet Homer
The faithful guardiaas of th hearth, aar e'er al
lowed to roam I
Their high and holy mission, great Jupiter de
signed,
To cherish all the Virtues and to benefit man
kind! .
These Household Gods hare perished too, hare
long since passed away :
The Virtues tho' survive them, around our hearth
to-day!
Survive too in their vigor, with undimmed splen
dor. shine
As brightly, as in days of old, and Jupiter's de
sign:
With fresh impersonations come angel graces in
To sweeten every virtue and blacken every sin
They're found in caskets TOrious, let's ax inside
the shelL ' - "
We find her "Old Mortality," and meet with
Little NU!"
Here, too, ar "Angel' Whispers," ''The Chil
dren in the Wood;"
"The Children" of oar Dickens, and "Little Bid
hig Hood"!
We travel with old "Crusoe" and find sweet "An
nabel Lee"
The maid that's not forgotten in that "Kingdom
by the Sea;"
Adown the river floating y "The Lady of Sua
lott!"
Who passes bye the "Violet," aud sweet "Forget-
me-not!" - -
"My heart is in the Highlands" with the "Lady of
the Lake!"
While on the "Bonny bank o Clyde," a rest with
friends we take. '
"The wounded Hare!" limps by ns, "The Moun
tain Daisy" blooms.
"The Skylark," and "The Wee Birds," rehearse
their sweetest tunes.
But here, at "Home Again," we meet how long
w e've been away,
"John Anderson my Joe, John," and good "auld
Robin Gray!" .
The sweet "Last Rose 'of Summer" bedecks "The
Old Arm Chair;"
"The Cricket on the Hearth" comes in, the even
ing joys to share!
The Pilgrim" in hi "Progress" tho "Pilgrims of
the Bhino,"
Are welcome guestsin unison with Boms, and
"Auld Lang Syne!" : ,
And host of other worthies, historic in their
fame, . . , .
With all the brain creations too numerous to
name! '
Do Life's great burdens press you, with care, or
worldly strife?
Just ope the priceless volume, and search the
Book of Life!
All Hope's without foundation all aspiration
vain! ,
Unless the heart is purity, and, life without
stain! ; 1. :
We Joy with "Little Barefoot" we weep with
"Jessie Deans," -
So delicate to nature, are those Interesting sceae
These sre not fleeting shadows, but embodiments
that tell,
Immortal a the qualities they represent so well.
-The World" is thus before us "The Sun" with
vigor shines,
To "Herald" and to "Chronicle" man's wishes
and designs,
"The "Tribune" makes tho "Record" up, "Ga
settes" the ravished earth
With light and lightnings, photoing tho "News"
as they hare birth,
"The Times" 'tis seen, makes "Progress" The
Spirit" moves with steam
Illuminating mother earth beyond conception's
dream!
God bless the f'Art Preservative," it crystallize
thought
Immortal life creations from human fancy
wrought! : ,
Creations of right reason, well fitted to display
The lovely forms of Virtu In their Innocent, ar
ray!
"Companions of the Fireside" no fall of sweetest
chimes! -' -
More lifo-like and attractive than the gods of an
cient times! -

DEBTS OF THE WORLD. ORIGIN OF COAL.
BY ANDREW ROY.
The rocks of the earth which are
known as the "Coal Measures" of the
geologists consist of a series of sand
stones, shales, limestones, fireclays
iron ores and beds of coal in mauiiold
alternations. The coal Is now uni
versally held by Scientific men' to have
been derived from the decomposition
of vegetable matter, the leaves and
stems of ancient plants and trees
which grew and became decomposed
an-! mineralized on the spot where
the coal is now found ; while the su
perincumbent strata have been formed
from the sediments of the water which
flowed over the carboniclus accumu
lation during the subsidence of the
land. .
At this period In the history of the
earth immense marshes and swamps
occupied vast areas of surface, from
which there arose a profuse and luxu
riant VegitaUon, consisting of numer
ous, beautiful and various plants,
varying in size from small mosses to
stately trees, which year after year
dopped their leaves and fruit, and in
time died themselves. New forests
arose and died in succesion ; and thus
growth and decay went on through
the slowly moving centuries, until
there was accumulated an enormous
mass of vegitable tissue, like the pul
py mass of a peat bog of tho .present
day. Then, through the airency of
subterranean movements, there fol
lowed a period of subsidence, a grad
ual sinking of the land; the waters
flowed over the surface and deposited
mud and sand, which now form the
shale and sandstone roofs of the mi.
ner, beneath which he hews out the
coal. .
. The subsidence period was not one
of continual duration. Long pauses
occurred, when new elevations of the
land took place and new jungles and
swamps were formed, favorable to the
growth of the coal floor, the decayed
forests were again covered with shale
and sandstone, by.the gradual sinking
of the land. These periods of eleva
tion and subsidence appeared and dis
appeared alternately as century after
century rolled away, until the various
beds of eoal, and the vast masses of
associated rocks which compose the
coal bearing strata of the carbonifer
ous system of the earth were deposited,-
,
Many geological writers maintain
that during the carboniferous era the
atmosphere was intensely hot and
saturated with vapor and was charged
with undue proportions of carbonic
acid gas which had been liberated
from the interior of the earth, through
the' agency of . volcanic erruptions,
these conditions it was claimed being
essential to the production of the coa
veeitation: but as coal is found In
newer formation than the carbonifer
ous, the coals - of China belong to
Trassiac and those of tha Pacific
coast the Tertary formations, and as
coal is undoubtedly forming now, in
some place in the earth, it may be
fairly assumed that the climate of
the carboniferous age, though perhaps
more mild and equable, was not ma.

present age, only the plants and ani
mals were different.
"As we find it in the earth coal
forms are of a series of carbonaeius
minerals which represent but differ
ent stages in a progressive change
from vegitable tissue as found in the
living plant. In peat and Lignite
(brown coal) we witness the first steps
in the formation of coal. Peal is bi
tumenlzed vegitatlon, generally
mosses and other herbaceous plants,
which under favorable circumstances
accumalatea in marshes, hence called
peat bogs. Lignite is the product of
similar change effected in woody
tissue ; and because it retains in a
greater or less degree the form and
structure of wood it has received the
name it beats. ' Peat is the product of
the present age. and lignites are found
la deposits of recent geological age
In the older formations these carbon
aceous accumaiations, still iurtner
changes are bituminou eoal. Where
special and local causes have operated
carry the change still further as
where the keds of coal have been in

MIRRORS.
To the inherent vanity of the hu
man race mast doubtless be attributed
the invention of artificial mirrors.
In the nrimitive ages of tha world.
tranquil lakes and springs furnished
natural reflecting surfaces for the
gratification of this passion, but ad
vancing civilization suggested a more
convenient agent lor its indulgence.
The introduction or mirrors is as
cribed to the Egyptians, with whom
riginated so many appliances or con
veniences and luxury.
b or many centuries mirrors were
manufactured exclusively from the
various metals, skilfully elaborated
highly polished, copper being
first need for this purpose, xney were
fashioned into spherical shapes and
united to handles highly finished,
either with attractive representa
tions or with frightfully repulsive
figures, which would, by contrast,
heighten the attractiveness of an ob
server's features. In process of time
and lead were combined with cop
in their construction, and subse
quently silver was substituted, and
the fourth century (B. C), mirrors
manufactured from the latter metal
were in very general use among the
Greeks and Bomans, constituting an
extensive branch of industry. Glass
substituted during the second
century, but, for some reason unascer
tained, the use 01 in is Buusutuce ap
pears to have been abandoned, as wri
ters make no further allusion to glass
mirrors until the thirteenth century.
the sixteenth century the Vene
tians Introduced the art of manufac
turing mirrors by coating glass with
composition of tin 1011 ana mercury,
so successful was their enter
prise that, at the present day, no
marked or substantial improvement
been made upon the process they
originated. Though many inven
tions of new methods nave Deen in
troduced, and numerous Improve
ments suggested.such as precipitating
silver, gold and platinum upon glass,

A CURIOUS EXHIBITION.
A needlework exhibition, got np
by the Princess Christian, is now In
progress at the South Kensington
Museum in London. It has a high
historical interest. No article of later
date than 1800 has been admitted,
and there is no lace or woven tapes
try to be seen. Visitors may here
muse over an embroidered shirt that
belonged to Charles I. of .England,
and the 'mantle he wore on the
scaffold at his execution.- Then there
is a star from a sampler worked in
colored silk by the wife of Charles II.,
on which her loving fingers inscribed:
"The 21st of Maye was pur marrlatrs
daye." Poor Queen 1 Bvt saddest
are the memories awakened of Mary
Queen of Scotts. Three relics dis
played at the exhibition attest the
deftness of her fingers. There is a
baby-linen basket, which she worked
for her ungrateful son, James I.; also
a work box, representing Jacob's
Dream, done while she was at Holy
rood; and lastly, a beautiful chair
covering and cushion, executed dur
ing her confinement at Fotheringay.
All these memorials belong to Queen
Victoria. It seems strange to realize,
as demonstrated to us here, that the
virago Elizabeth once made baby-lin
en for sister Mary ; eighteen pieces of
her nandyworK in this line are
shown. There are also various little
toilet articles that belonged to Eliza
beth,' such as her night cap, her shoes,
and her pillow case, a pin cushion,
aud a toilet cover. Silk hangings,
beautiful and fresh, as if just from
the loom, are marked as having deck
ed the bndai bed or Marie Antoinette,
There is a beautiful quilted coverlet,
the property or Anne or Denmars
and close by are some curtain worked
in worsted by Amy Bobsart. Needle
work isnot likely to be so popular with
their granamoiners in oiaen times.
As an occupation it is essentially seda
tive; and we live in a fast and stirring
age. The American maxim "go
ahead" prevails everywhere as a fash
ion. Needlework is a gentle feminine
use of time. It had its advantages.
But it leads itself to gossip quite as
mucn as to meditation.

INDIANA VIGILANTS.
New Albany. Ikd. June 29. South
ern Indiana has witnessed another
midnight execution,' and another
murderer has received short shrift
and iustice at the end of a hempen
rope. On the 29th of June, Delos
Heffren, a noted bully, desperado and
the terror of Washington County,
deliberately shot a Frenchman by the
name of Halstead, in broad daylight,
in the streets of Salem, and after
shooting him to death, held him up
in his. arms until nis Drains were neat
en out with the but of a nistoL In
tense excitement followed tha com
mission of the brutal muropt . which
did not confine itself to Washington
county, but spread to the adjoining
counties, and threats 01 Banging net
fren had been freelv made.
Quietly plans were matured, and
yesterday the town was filled with
people, ostensibly to view the. per
formance of a circus, but really deter
mined that justice in a mass: ana
cowl should consign Heffren to that
doom which he so richly merited.
After the night performance silence
brooded over the town tin 1 o'cioca,
when apparently by preconcerted
signal, the streets leading to the jail
were filled by a crowd of quiet, reso
lute men, who proceeded to the resi
dence of the Deputy Sheriff, which
adjoined the jail and demanded
the kevs. which being refused, be was
overpowered and confined, but would
not disclose vnere we Keys were
placed. A sledge hammer was then
procured and the doors of the jail
were demolished.
When Heffren's cell was reached,
they found him standing at the door
with a piece of the bedstead in his
hand, like a lion at bay. This, for a
moment, caused the vigilants to halt,
but, throwing lighted turpentine
balls in his cell, so that he could be
easily seen, firing from revolvers was
opened upon film. At lengtn ne rell,
wounded in three places, when the
crowd rushed in, seized and bound
him, and hurried him away in the
darkness to the railroad bridge, where
producing the rope procured lor tne
purpose, Heffren was ordered to pre
pare to meet his victim in another
world, and was pushed or thrown
from the bridge. Having completed
their work, the vigilants released the
Deputy bheria and town patrolmen,
whom they had seized, and quietly
left the town. The body was left
hanging until 4 o'clock this morning.

GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG DOCTORS.
ivai
Professor L. P. Yandell's Valedic
tory Address to the graduates of the
Louisville Medical School, gives,
among other items, the following ad
vice about the treatment of the sick :
"In all things study the quiet, the
eatte, the enjoyment of your patients.
Give them abundant fresh air and ice
and cold water and fruit, when they
desire such things. As to food, obey
their appetites. Hunger and thirst
have been well styled our "physical
conscience," which in the sick room
is never to be dlsregardad. They are
safer guides in respect to diet and
drink than can be found in all our
medical philosophy. They make
known to us what the living organ
ism needs. .Whatever sick people
have a true desire for they ought,
therefore, to be indulged low Wben
your little patients have been sick a
longtime, and have become ancemio
and emaciated, it may be for want of
proper food, have them carried to the
table, and allow them to indicate by
signs, if they have no words, what
their systems require to build them
up again. Infants suffer great distress
whenill, on account of thirst, which
they have no way of making known
to you except by their moans and
cries. You will often be delighted to
see how instantly their plaints cease
on your giving the little sufferers a
drink of cold water. Dismiss from
your minds, then, and everywhere
discountenance the absurd notion
that cold drinks can ever be injurious
to the sick. Avoid noise in the sick
room. 'Whispering, too, should be
discountenanced. The attention of
patients is attracted by it, and they
are annoyed and fatigued by the effort
to bear, borne of my colleagues
whisper that this is especially the
case witu iaay patients, as a gener
al rule, you may safely trust the feel
ings of convalescents in regard to
sitting upland taking exercise as well
as in reference to diet. In a word, you
can scarcely consult the inclinations
of the sick too far, except as to physic,
of which, or coarse, tney snow nothing."
WORK AS THE FASHION.
If to labor be to rray, as the old
monkish apothegm declares, this is
surel v a mostlprayerful age. That la
bor is meritorious and laudable, has
long been a sentiment ; but it is little
more than within this generation
that the sentiment bas been generally
and practically adopted. Singularly
strange it is that what almost every
hmiv claims to believe should be, in
fact, so slowly accepted. Medical his
tory teaches us that those nations
were most prosperous that held work
to be honorable, and proved by deed
the sincerity of their holding. The
Be publics of Genoa and Tenice gain

They who despise labor despise them

manity are stung to spiritaul death

Still, in the face of self-enforced mor
als, of indisputable facts, there have
been, and there are, men and women
claiming dlstiction because they do
nothing imagining luieu ata 10 ue an
honor. Because they are aeros they
fancy they make a figure in the world,
forgetful that zeros add naught to the
sum of progress or prosperity. For
tunately, and fitly in this era of un
common sense, rarer than genius
always, the conceited do-nothings are
disappearing fast ; by a moral law,
too. since Nature does not keep what
she does not need. The days of Show

rapidly passing. ijivuizauon nas

man; "I care not who yon are; but
what can you do If idle and lnefa
cient, stand aside for your betters; for
they are your betters who can and
will work. I judge each and all by
their labor and its fruits?"
Work, in a word, has become the

never largely followed " until now.

THE ALTITUDE AT WHICH MEN
CAN LIVE.
There has been a great deal of dis
mission as to the altitude at whtcn
human beings can exist, and Air,
Glaisher himself can tell us as much
about it as anybody. In July, 187:
he and Mr. Coxwell ascenaea in
balloon to the enormous elevation of
S7.000 feet. Previous to the start,
Mr. Ulaisber's DUise stooa at seventy-

his breathing became oppressed; at
29 000 he became senseless : notwith
standing which the eeronant, in the
interests of science, went up another
8,000 feet, till he could no longer use
his hands, and had to pull the strings
of the valve with his teeth. iEron-
auts who have to make no. exertions
have, of course, a great advantage
over members of the Alpuie ciuh,
and those who trust their legs : even
at 13,000 feet these climbers feel very
uncomfortable, more so in the Alps,
it seems, than elsewhere. At tne
monastery of St, Bernard, 8,117 feet

and are compelled frequently to de

for anything but "a breath of fresh

Potosi) placed as high as the top of
Mont Blano, the inhabitants 01 wnicn

Even at the top of Mont Blanc, Prof.

mountain in the world is Mount Ev

condor has been seen "winging the

OUR HOMES.
There exists a very beautiful ideal
of what home should be, but some
how men and women have fallen in
to the habit of showing the world
their best side ( of exerting themselves
to be amiable and agreeable to people
who care the least for them ; while to
those to whome their interests, honor
and happiness are of vital concern,
they display all their moat unholy
aha disagreeable) traits.
borne men use their homes as es
cape-valves for all the ill-humor gen
erated by friction with the world. It
will not do to storm and fume at that
but at home ah, there one has a
right to do as he has a mind to ! It
is bis home, and he is bound to have
bis own way there, which he un
doubtedly could only there hap
pens to be one or more others there
intent upon the same thing. And by
the way, this "having one's own way"
is a very difficult thing in a world like
this, where every life is so linked
with every other life.
There are woman, too, set down in
the calender of the world as patterns
of amiability, whose home temper is
a sad commentary upon the wisdom
of the world's judgment! There are
softly modulated and lady-like voices,
the charm of the social circle, which
In the privacy of their houses break
out In irritating taunts and angry re
torts. There are "very nice women"
who destroy all the sweetness and
blessedness of their household by
loud and continual scolding, fret tings
and fault-findings. There are broth
ers who are chivalrous and devoted to
other people's sisters, but who- at
borne tease and trouble their own.
There are charming young ladies fan
cied by some infatuated young men
10 De angeis, wno are stubborn, self-
willed and Indolent at home, where
they should be most agreeable. The
true meaning of home is not a place
to go only when you feel hungry and
cross; wnere yon can wear your
worst coat ana your worst temper.
The home is undervalued, and its
sweetness and sanctity highly dese
crated ; it should correspond with the
beautiful Ideal one, which we all ven
erate, where all baser passions are
subdued and controlled by sweet af
fection, tenderness and patience. It
is. where the wife prefers to stay
above all other places; a place that is
never lonely to her, for the innumer
able blessings that hover around - it ;
where the shadow of solitude is light
ened by the halo of qniet love ; where
the hearth is always bright, and the
rooms tidy and cheerful, and where
the -wife spends her "afternoons,"
and the husband his "evenings."
These are the shrines to which the
absent and weary will turn with long
ing for rest and peace. Exchange. ;
MIGNONETTE AS A TREE.
Buy a pot of ordinary mignonette,
or plant teed. This plant will proba
bly contain a tun composed or many
plants. Pull up all but one : and as
the mignonette is treated without
any delicacy the single plant tha is
left in the middle of the pot may be
vigorously trimmed, leaving only one
shoot. This shoot must be attached
to a slender stick. The extremity of
this shoot will put forth a bunch of
flower buds that must be cut off n
tirelv, leaving not a single bud. Tha
stock in consequence of this treat
ment, will put out a multitude of
young shoots that must be allowed to
develop freely until tbey are about 3J
inches long. Then select out of these
four, six, or eight, according to the
strength of tbe plant, with equal
spaces between them. Now, with a
piece of whalebone, make a hoop and
attach your shoots to it, supported at
a proper hight When they have
grown two or three Inches longer,
and are going to bloom, support them
by a second hoop like the first. Let
them bloom, but take off the seed pods
before they have time to form, or tbe
plant may perish. It will not be long
before new shoots will appear just be
low tbe places where the flowers were.
From among these new shoots choose
the one on each branob which is in
the best situation to replace what you
have nipped off. Little by little the
principal stalks, and also the branch
es, will become woody, and your
mignonette will no longer be an her
baceous plant, except at its upper ex
tremities, which will bloom all the
year without interruption. It will be
truly a rree mignonette, living ior au
indefinite period f for with proper
treatment, a tree mignonette will live
twelve to nrteea years. .
MIGNONETTE AS A TREE. How a Patient was Lost--A case of
Amaurosis.
A foreign scientific periodical relates
this suggestive story : '
Some time since a lady called upon
celebrated oculist in order to consult
him on account of her eyes, com
plaining that their power of vision
had of late considerably diminished.
At a glance the doctor saw that she
was a lady of rank and wealth. He
looked at her eyes, shook his bead,
and thought the treatment would re
quire much more time, as there was
reason to fear amaurosis in her case.
He must advise her, first of all, that
as she had informed him she was re
siding a considerable distance in the
country, she must move into the-city
at once, and thus enable him to see
her frequently : if possible daily.
The lady then rented an elegant
mansion, moved into the city, and
the physician was punctual in his at
tendance. He prescribed this and
that, and thus days ran into- weeks
and weeks into months. Tbe cure,
however, was still coming; the phy
sician tried to console her.
Ons dav the patient hit upon a cu
rious scheme, and she waited not long
ctrry it into effect. She prooured
for herself a veiy old and pour ature.

A WEIRD AND TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
- TBOPHIV '
COLUMBUS, O., June 28.
One of tbe most , frightful and as
tounding all airs that ever occurred in
Columbus or any other city took
place in this vicinity last night. The
story has in it elements of the ludi
crous, the tragical, the terrible, and
the pitiable, all combined.
About 7 o'clock Friday evening
Timothy Heiiar, a tack man, inform
ed William Walcutt, another hack
men, that be was wanted, with his
carriage, at , Meneely's saloon, on
State street. Both hackmen lumped
on ' tbe box and rode down to the
place named. There they found D.
B.-Webb, Samuel Fleming, and Ja
cob Huston, and learned from, Webb
that he and tbe party wanted to ride
over to Franklin ton to fixe ha' some
pyrotechnics, tho pohee -having or
dered them to cease giving any -. far
ther display on the street where tbey
were. Webb baa been passenger
agent for the Baltimore & Ohio Kail
road at (Joiumbus about live years
Fleming : was a locomotive engineer
on the road from (Jjaiiiicothe to Via
cinrati, and Huston is known as
snorting man-: .
The party went across the river to
Franklinton, and there let off their
fire works, which tbey had obtained
at the store of Charles Wagner, the
principal Columbus dealer in that ar
ticle. This process was repeated, ana
a larger quantity of fire woraa dis-
cnargea than on tne nrat trip.
It is pretty evident, too, , from all
the facts that have transpired, that
--JZ.,wvmnT-
the men had drank a good deal, and
that on this second trip they had become
recklessarand ripe for mischief
and disaster. 1 give tne remainder
of the wUJ and horrible story from
the columns of tnis evening's Dis
PatCh: -
After this batch of paper and pow
der was destroyed, another visit was
made to V a goer's, where tney ar
rived near 11 o'clock. The driver re
mained outside, supposing they -were
getting something to eat, but nnaily
went in and nrund vv ebo witnanotn
er large lot of rockets, Boman can
dles, and fizzing fixtures of every de
scription on his arms. Webb- told
Wagner that tney were going to Lon
don, eeeing the carriage outside,
vvagner told tnem 11 tne nrewonts
were to explode In it that it would
be dangerous ; that there was enough
powder in tbe package purchased to
blow the hack uu, Webb said they
were going to discharge the bacsman,
from which W agner supposed tney
were going to London by rail. Ha
discovered after they were gone that
some one had taken a whole box of
matches without his knowledge. Af
ter driving to Meneely's again, Webb
paid the hack man five uoiiars and
discharged hint, - Not long after, he
wanted to re-engage him to go to Al
ton. Thediscipie of Jehu had not
much confidence in the financial con
dition of the patriotic, party by . that
time, so he put the figure high ($15),
hoping the amount would deter them
from going. Webb says : "I'll give
you 4 10. take eare of your horses, and
we'll come home in the morning."
Give me the monev now and I li
go." "No ; I've only got $2, but I'll
give it to you. ia the morning." Hav
ing received $3, the hackman said be
couldn't lose much,, so . Uiey 'all
jumped into the carriage. . Webb
called for matches,, ana tney were
brought out of the saloon, but the
driver got tbem and threw the whole
tot away, and whirled tne norses
heads, toward Alton. The tempta
tion to have another grand illumina
tion on tbe bridge was too great for
them to withstand, so they lined the
dark roadway with a stream of sparks
aud smoke, and caused its old passa
ges to reverberate witn sounds which

reveries of the driver. With the ex

discovered that they had a torch
lighted in the carriage, and . remon

Tbey ceased, as requested, but re-,

CAPITAL AND LABOR—HOW TO
RECONCILE THEM.
RECONCILE THEM. BY PROF. J. D. BUTLER.
.When Falstaffsent his page to Mas
ter Dumbleton for a satin cloak, and
offered his bond and Bardolph's for
payment, the answer was that the
"tailor liked not the security." The
Knight called Dumbleton a rascally
knave to , stand QDOn Becnrit.v anil
cried, "I would as lief they would put
ratsbane inmy mouth aa stop it with
security." He who goes a borrowing,
goes a sorrowing. Not only Shylocks,
but most capitalists are deal' tn hr.
rowers, because they, as well as Fal
starTa tailor, "like not the security."
Capitalists will not lend a poor man
money. They demand security. Aa
he eannot endorse, others -win not. An.
dorse for him. He ha no- lands, no
chattels, on which he can give a
mortgage. Where he ia sanguine
that he can double- the monev he
wishes to borrow, they, say . to him,
"you may be robbed or cheated, or
your investment mav be bnmi nr
and your insurance worthless, or you
may abscond, or your death msv
blight the brightest nrosneRta1' "w
like not your security." It is a "cas
tle in the air." . .
Again, capitalists shnn ' nnrfintr
their investments Into the hands of
any poor stranger. They are distrust
fuFbf his honesty where them is a
chance for fraud ; of his competence.
where skill is demanded : of hia
where he has no interest at afato-
and of his vigilance, where there are
temptations to negligence He might
carve out his fortune, but no one will
truss nim witn the tools. ,
' But must capital and lahnr
be hostile ? Ts there no way in which
capitalists can be lust to themplvi.
and yet generous to borrowers? Yes,
they can. ,How? By land sales on
ten years' credit, and six tier eent.

cheated; ont of land which is not
deeded to him till he has finished
paying ior it. Me cannot run away
with it. No fire can burn it up. He
can not -lessen iu value. The labor
and money he lays out en it will in
crease that value. He cannot strip it
of lumbermore' than he can pull hair
from a bald head. " Nor in such a loan

fear of losing the sum he paid in ad

lays out to improve his farm, and by
his hope. of making it pay for itself,

given them tools to work with. So it
makes borrowers and lenders friend

borrowers-ail the loans they eaa use,
and these such as will, in most cases,
pay for themselves. He who gives
us a chance to help ourselves is the
best helper. .
