Watch Tour Words.
Keep a watch on your words, my darlings,
For words are wonderful things ;
They are sweet, like the bees' fresh honey
Like the bees, they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine,
And brighten a lonely life ;
They can cut, in the strife of anger,
Like an open two-edged knife.
Let them pass through the lips unchallenged,
If their errand is true and kind
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind;
If a bitter, revengeful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be unsaid;
They may flash through a brain like lightning
Or fall on a heart like lead.
Keep them back, if they're cold and cruel,
Under bar and lock and seal ;
The wounds they make, my darlings,
Are always slow to heal.
May peace guard your lives, and ever,
From the time of your early youth,
May the words that you. daily utter
Be the words of beautiful truth,
Pansy.
Nasby on Ireland.
CONVERSION OF A BITTER ENEMY OF IRELAND
INTO A 8TRONG FRIEND.
Mb. Davtd ft. Locke ("Petroleum V.
NaBby"), editor of the Toledo Blade, is
one of the strongest writers and journalists
in America. He has been known hitherto
as a man who hated the Irish people, and
boldlv expressed his feelincrs. He has
just returned from a visit to Ireland, and
has begun in his paper a series of articles
on that country. We take the following
extracts from the first article :
Cork, Oct. 4. 1881.
"Tis the most distressful country that ever yet
was seen,
They're hanging men and women for the wearin'
of the green."
CORK.
Cork is a sleepy city of perhaps 70,000
population, made up of the handsomest
men and the most beautiful women and
children on the face of the globe. You
shall see more feminine beauty on the
streets of Cork in an hour than you can
anywhere else in a week. Homely women
there are none beautiful women are so
plenty that it really becomes monotonous.
One rather gets to wishing that he could
see an occasional pair of English feet, for
the sake of variety.
The city itself is beautiful, as are all the
cities of Ireland, but it is a sad city, as are
all the cities of Ireland. It is not prosper
ous, and cannot be, for it is under English
domination, and England will not permit
prosperity in Ireland. It is only the at
tachment which an Irishman has for his
own country that makes anybody stay
there. With every natural advantage, with
every facility for manufacturing, for trade
and commerie, with the best harbor in the
world, and tbe nearest point for American
trade, it has no manufactures to speak of,
and no trade whatever. Its population has
decreased 30,000 within 15 years, and its
trade , is slowly but surely dwindling to
nothingness.
What is the reason for this ? It is all
summed up in one word landlordism.
There is no man it the world, not except
ing the Frenchman, who will work longer
or harder than the Irishman. There is no
race of meD who are better merchants or
more enterprising dealers, and there is no
reason, but one, why Cork should not be
one of the largest and richest cities of the
world. That reason is English ownership
of Irish soil.
A FEEBLE EXPRESSION OF OPINION
Irish landlordism is condensed villany.
It is the very top and summit of oppression,
cruelity, bruality and terror.
It was conceived in lust and greed, born
of fraud, and perpetuated by force.
It does not recognize manhood, woman
hood, or childhood. Its cold hand is upon
every cradle in Ireland. Its victims are
the five millions of people in Ireland who
cannot get away, and the instruments used
are bayonets and ball cartridges.
It is a ghoul that would invade grave
yards were there any profit to be gotten
out of graveyards. It is the coldest-blooded,
crudest infamy that the world has ever
seen, and that any race of people was ever
fated to groan under.
Irish landlordism is legal brigandage
it is an organized hell
Wesley said that African slavery was the
sum of all villanies. Irish landlordism
comprises all the villanies that the devil
ever invented, with African slavery thrown
in. Irish landlordism makes African
slavery a virtue by comparison. For when
a negro slave got too old to work, he was
given some place in which to live, and suf
ficient food to keep him in some sort of
life, and clothes enough to shield him from
the elements.
The Irish tenant, when he becomes old
and cannot work, is thrown out upon the
roadside, with his and his children, to die
and rot. He has created land with his own
hands, which he is not allowed to occupy.
He has grown crops which he is not allow
ed to tat ; he has labored as no other man
in the world labors, without being permit
ted to enjoy the fruits of his labor. The
virtue of his wife and daughter are in the
keeping of the villain who by virtue of
bayonets controls his land. In short, to
sum it all up in one word, the Irishman is a
serf, a slave. ...
HOW A CONVERSION WAS EFFECTED.
I went from Dublin to Cork, the most
prejudiced man against the Irish that lives
between the earth and sky. fn fact, when
Mr. James Bed path onnd me in Dublin,
I was engaged in a .disputation with Mr.
Charles Stewart Parnell, the President of
the Land League, in which I was endeav
oring to convince him that he was a dema
gogue, that the Irish had no reason for
agitation, that whatever suffering there
was in the country was attributable to
some inherent weakness in the Irish char
acter, that Ireland could oly be properly
ruled by the English, and that they ought
to be thankful to the kind Providence that
had given them a superior race to protect
and care for them. -
Mr. Redpath, who gave the best years
of his life to the killing of slavery in Amer
ica, and who is doing all that one large
souled brainy man of nerve can do to kill
another form of slavery in Ireland, said to
me, "Come with me to the South of Ire
land for just a day. I won't talk to you,
I won't even give you a printed page to
read, but I will show you something that
will astonish you, as it did me. "
I went with Mr. Eedpath to Cork, and
the first day we took a jaunting-car for
Blarney Castle. Mr. Redpath was silent,
which, with the purpose he had in view,
was the highest wisdom. In the five miles
drive I counted 500 women without shoes or
stockings, walking in the cold mud.
This was Mr. Redpath's argument, and
it was an argument better than any man
could make from a platform.
The next day we took a train for Fermoy,
a distance of perhaps 50 miles. In Fer
moy, a tolerably prosperous village, for
Ireland, the women did not only have no
shoes or stockings, but they had scarcely
anything else to wear.
"This is nothing," said the wise Mr.
Redpath ; "these people are fairly pros
perous for Ireland. I will show you
something worth while before night."
It puzzled me somewhat to understand
how anybody could be worse off than to be
walking in cold mud without any protee
tion whatever for the feet, but I found it at
Mitchellstown, at the foot of the Galtee
"Mountains.
Mr. Locke then gives a long and appall
ing description of what he saw among the
hardworking and thrifty peasants on the
Galtee mountain sides. He continues :
We toiled through fields that in America
would not be accepted as a gift. Here if
the exorbitant rent charged for them could
not be paid ,the holders was evicted. We
went through roads so wretchedly bad that
teams could not .travel over them. Tet
taxes had to be paid by those who had
holdings on either side. We saw fields
that had been reclaimed from the original
state, had been made productive, and had
been the cause of the eviction of the holder
because he could not pay the rent which
the improvements brought upon him. He
had been thrown off the land and it was
rapidly going to waist again. Large
patches of heather, which is worse than
the American farmers' baiie, the Canada
thistle, were growing over it, choking all
other forms of vegetation. It would only
take another season to make the land so
worthless that three years of hard work
would be required to put it back to the
condition it was in when the holder had
been compelled to leave it, after having
devoted the best years of his life to reclaim
ing and making it productive.
After seven hours of such sights as
these, which cannot be described, we were,
weary and mad. We had seen enough for
one day, and were ready to go back. All
during the long drive to Mitchellstown not
a word was said. The subject was too ter
rible for talk.
Destitntion and Despair.
We clip the following items from the
colnms of the New York Sun. It seems
strange somehow to hear of such oases in
a Christian land of abundance and plen
tj:
Mrs. Mini Lambert, an aged widow, has
lived with her nine children for two years
in the tenement house at 63 Grand street,
Hoboken. She has earned a living for
herself and children by doing washing.
On Monday, when the owner of the house
went to Mrs. Lambert for a month's rent,
she did not have the n.oney. Yesterday a
constable began removing her furniture
from the ro&m. After all the furniture had
been placed upon the sidewalk in front of
the house, Mrs. Lambert, who with her
children, had been crying during its re
moval, went to a closed, and seizing a large
carving knife, drew it across her throat,
inflicting an ugly wound. She was about
to repeat the act, when the constable en
tered the room and disarmed her. She
was removed to a hospital. Her children
were taken care of by neighbors.
Three small children were huddled to
gether last night on some bedding, which,
with other household goods, was strewn
upon the side walk in front of 281 Mul
berry street. They were children of Mrs.
Reilly, whose husband Patrick went away
a month ago and has not returned. Mrs.
Reilly had no money to pay her rent, and
her furniture was put out of the house on
Wednesday. Her son, 25 years old, who
is sick with consumption, was taken into
the rooms of a neighbor, but the mother
and her other children spent the night on
the sidewalk. Yesterday Mrs. Reilly "got
money enough to buy her children some
bread, but she told them that they would
have to spend the night in the street. A
big white dog that has shared their pov
erty since Reilly disappeared watched
over tbe homeless children while they
skpt.

Our First Experience.
Whilst engaged in the novel and very
unpleasant task of "breaking ground" for
this interprise and ere the first line of The
Examiner had droped from the editors
pen, the thought had taken possession,
even to a conviction upon us; that news
papers especially those of the partisan
political stripe, were merely in existence
for two principal objects; (1) to make
money through Advertisements ; and (2) to
mislead the people.
Finding ourselves in Rome, we must of
course, "do as Rome does," at least to a
certain extent.
We are compelled to take advantage of
the first condition, in order to establish a
basis from which to fight the second.
Without advertisements no paper can
live. They are, so to speak, its very life
blood ; and a very considerable part of
the $S you pay over to the advertizer, finds
its way into the pockets of the publisher,
their to mingle in glad communion with
the penny a, you pay for the subscription.
Here arises the thought in your minds
"if this be true, why the place for me to
patronise, is that, which does not adver
tise." Vain thought ! Know you not that this
display attracts the people to the things
advertised, and consequently away from
those places not availing themselves of
the glorious privilege ; and where the sil
ent firm effects one sale, the other makes
fifty. This of course necessitates a much
larger purchase on the part of . the adver
tiser from the manufacturer, and under
the present order of things on more fav
orable terms. Now, the one will 'charge
you for the goods which you want, and
grows rich ; the other would charge you
for the time he waits for customers,
whioh you do not want and consequently
grows poor.
The man who does not advertise, is as
one "winking in the dark." He may set
up a very f rictional emotion of the eyelids,
but alas ! it is known only to himself.
Therefore, friends and readers, being
obliged to make a virtue of necessity, we
have selected, and take much pleasure in
presenting to you, the most reliable par
ties, doing business in our city, with whom
you may at all times rest assured of secur
ing a courteous attention, together with a
square and honorable dealing.
The Man and the Bear.
A man caught a young bear. He put it
in a back yard where, in a few months, it
monopolized the premises. Dogs, cats,
geese, ducks and chickens all had to sur
render to Master Bruin! and the landlord
finally had to resort to coaxing and feeding
in order to be permitted to pass to his barn
and back. Bruin was master of the situa
tion until the landlord's ire arose and then
Bruin, with a chain around his neck, was
as meek as a lamb. He occupied only the
space alloted him in the yard, making
room for the dogs, cats, etc. The farmers,
manufacturers and laborers have built
railroads and no one must use them with
out petting and paying enormously for the
privilege. Chain these monopolies and
mark, out the space they are to occupy, if
the monopolies crush you it is your own
fault. We offer you the chain and pro
pose to aid in plaoing it on the neck of
monopoly-, but you refuse to help. Suffer
on then. Indianapolis Sun.
The boss bank failure of the age occur
red in Newark New Jersey.
The cashier stole the original capital,
the reserves, the deposits; mortgaged the
bank building aud sold the mortgage, and
was negotiating a sale of the safe with a
second-hand safe dealer. Poor fellow, he
is now trying to be a martyr. He was at
home sick abed, with "nervous p rostra
tion," and the police thought is was "too
cruel" lo disturb him I
A man who would descend to the level of
a common thief and plunder the govern
ment of a few paltry dollars, is just the
kind of a man who would champion a
"resumption act."
During the past week one of the leading
Dry Goods Houses of the City, has been
selling Dress Goods bX a price which every
lady knows "is far below the cost of impor
tation and about half the real value. The
goods are one and a quarter yards wide,
and every thread of the finest wool. It
might be impertinent to ask where they
get them, and how they do it. But that
they do it, is a faot, and the Store, is the
Bee Hive, corner of Main and Temple ets.
The "greatest financier of the age" is
proving to be one of the greatest "little"
thieves that this country ever developed.

IET1STIC HOUSE FURNISHING
A SPECIALTY.
What is worth doing should be well done. A house furnished in good
taste is a source of refinement and education.
What we learn from experience and observation is the most easily and
longest remembered. We affirm from a knowledge gained by long experience
in the business, that in no way is true refinement better evidenced than in the
furnishing of ones home.
We have been actively and extensively engaged in the Carpet and Houpe
Furnishing business for more than a quarter of a century, and we should be
poor scholars indeed, if we had not learned much of the true art of furnishing
and decorating. During that long period we have furnished many of the most
expensive and artistic homes in New England ; and it is a great satisfaction to
us that we have had unbroken business intercourse with many of the best
families, within a radius of fifty miles for upwards of twenty-five years. The
demand for and appreciation of fine things, encourages us to open our new and
spacious store where we can devote ourselves exclusively to our favorite spe
cialty.
We can not enumerate the attractions of our House. Our goods must be
seen to be appreciated. The beBt quality on the most reasonable terms is the
ruling spirit of our business.
We beg to call attention to the following, as among the inducements for
buyers to examine our stock.
An extensive assortment of Axminster Carpets, Moquette Carpets. Wilton
Carpets, Body Brussels Carpets, Tapestry Brussels Carpets, Three ply Carpets,
Extra Superfine Ingrain Caipets. The best FIFTY CENT Ingrain Carpet

Murderous Fanatics.
THE BEY. EOEEBT COIiliTEB IiOOKING IK THE
BIBLE FOB GUITEAU's INSPIRATION.
Guiteau's declaration that he was
divinely inspired to murderNPresident Gar
field was the topic of the Rev. Robert Coll-
yer's sermon at the Church of the Messiah
yesterday morning. It was not rare, Mr.
Collyer said, for murderers to set up such
a defence. In one of the Eastern States
not long ago a man who had murdered his
children declared that God had demanded
the sacrifice, and compared himself to
Abraham,
"If the cause of this madness remains,"
said Mr. Collyer, "you cannot stamp out
the curse by hanging the guilty man, or
sending him to an asylum. Men must be
taught what true faith is. Had Guiteau
been a Jew the people would have Baid to
the Jews, 'There is something wrong
about your faith, and if this thing goes on
we shall hold you in some degree answer
able for the consequences.
We should see where the bad spot is in
our faith, and endeavor to remove it. The
stories of Abraham, who would have slain
his own child, and of Jephthah, who mur
dered his own daughter, are stories locked
up in a system of faith. God could have
nothing to do with such black intentions.
The churches still hold to the idea that
the whole Bible is a divinely inspired book.
There are preachers who recite its myths
and legends in a dramatic and impressive
manner to susceptible audiences, as if the y
were events of yesterday, and occurred I
only a little way up the Hudson. It is
not an uncommon thing to hear of men
who have gone mad under the influence of
such teaching. This bigotry to the Bible,
this bondage to the letter, makes men com
mit murder.
"Let us say to these churches and min
isters, 'Here is something you must look
to I' It was asked of Col. Ingersoll after
the assassination, 'What can you say to
comfort us now ? Not one word ! ' Al
though this is true it is also true that there
is nothing in Mr. IngerBoll's belief that
would have prompted Guiteau to the com
mission of his crime. We must say to the
ministers, 'You must revise your standards
and take this evil doctrine oat of them.
It is an insult to the white majesty of
Heaven.' The old black custom of human
sacrifice shouid be blotted out. We must
appeal to the insight of our brethren, to
their grace, to their good sense, and ask
them seriously to consider what they say
and think."
