CARROLLTON OHIO-FRIDAY, AUGUST o. 1916

we are units, 10 live peaceably with all around US
andto avoid any thing which may cause estrange
mcnt, and produce angry and buer feelings and
he who wantonly violates this law, and needless
" irrtates and proyokcs, proves himself unwor
thy of the blessings which civilization and sOcic
ty were intended 10 secure. If every one acted
in an offensive manner, the component parts mus
be broken up, and man must again retrogadC
into solitarness and barbarism; for it is only by
mutual respect and good will that society can co
here and exist. at is the glory of man" sayi
the sacred proyerb, "topass soverauansgresson;'
and it is the truest wisdom and the best phlloso
ply sometimes TO shut our eyes to insult, ever
when there may be some reason to fear it was no
entirely unpremeditated. At all events, we shal
meet in the world with quite enough of offences
unless we are more than ordinary fortunate, with
out seeking out imaginary insults, and wasting
our strength and destroying our peace by fighting
with the wind. Our seycrcst scrutiny is bes
turned to ourselves, that we may not be offend
ers, and our most favorable judgment formed res
pccting the conduct and actions of others, tha
we may not be offended. While we may be SURF
that, in the crowded path of life, we ourselves dc
not intend to run wilfuly against others, thougl
we may sometimes stumble against them, so WI
must hope and believe that they in turn have nc
intention of offending us, though they may some
times accidentally joste us in their turn. Th,
duty of endurance has undoubtedly its prope
limits, but it is wise determination not only no
to offend, but also not to be easily offended
Every one desires that others should interpret hi
actions kindly, and where any may be of doubt
full import, to hope the best; and such is the wa.
in which their actions should be regarded by us
Were the duty of not taking ofIencemore though
of and better understood, the peace of individu
ais, of families, of communities, of nations
would rest on firmer foundation, and something
would be added to the general amount of human
harmony and happiness.

EMPLOYMENT.

The following just sentiment was uttered by
Daniel Webster in late speech in the Senate of
the United States. Itshould be held in everlast-
ing remembrance:
''Sir, | say it is employment that makes the
people happy. Sir, this great truth ought never
to be forgotten; it ought to be placed upon the IL
tie page of every book on political economy in
tended for America. and such countries as Ame-
RIGA. 1t ought to be placed in every farmers
almanac. Ii ought to head the columns of every
farmers magazine and mechanics magazine
1t should be proclaimed every where, notwith-
standing what we hear Of the uselulness-and |
admit the high usefulness-of cheap food-not-
withstanding that, the great truth should be pro-
claimed every where, should be made into pro-
verb-if it could-that tchere there is ,rork for
the hands and the men there aciH be vOrk for the
teeth Where there is employment there will
be bread. And in a country like our own, above
all others. will this truth hold good-a country
like ours, where, with great deal of spirit and
ACTIVITY among the masses, if they can find em-
pIovment. there is always a great willingness for
labor. Irthev can obtain fair compensation for
their labor, they will have good houses-good
clotbinc-good food, and the means of educating
their families; and ifthey have good houses, and
GOOD clothing, and good food, and means of edu-
eating their children, from their labor, that labor
will be cheerful, and they will be contented and
a happy people"

ONE FACT.

There is one fact in regard to the tax law and
the raising Of State revenue worthy of considera-
ton-it is this. 1t is necessary to raise two hum
drod thousand dollars in addition to what has
been raised hitherto. This being the fact, the
question TO be decided is, whether it would be
better or farer to raise the additional amount,
under the old system Of taxation, or by the pre-
sent law, whether the additional burdens neccs-
sary to be placed upon properly, should be all
borne by the properly which has all along been
unfairly burdened, or that unfainess be removed
by making the large amount of property which
has hitherto been unchanged bear its proper pro-
portion of taxes. The old law was unfair. bv
making only portion of the property of the
State. pay the whole amount of taxes; the pre-
sent law remedies this evil, by putting the whole
amount of property on the tax list, and making
every portion of it, as it should do, bear its pro-
per proportion of taxes to be raised 1t is not
denied that by the old method, only portion of
the property was taxed; ii is not denied, that the
intention of the present law was to place on the
list a very large amount of property which has
heretofore not been enumerated; and that such
has been its effect.
These facts being so-rhe necessity of raising
more money, and the uniairness of the old law
is easy for any one to see the necessity as well
as the Justice of the law enacted by the Wings.
Those who oppose it, do not oppose it from any
principle, for they cannot deny any of the facts
we have stated or if they are sincere in their op-
position, reputation can be the only end which
they desire to effect, and that, we know, would
be Indignantly frowned down by the people of
this region and of the State-ZdaeS. Wing.

There is a voice which haunts me still
Where'er on earth be;
In lonely vale, on lofty hill,
And on the distant sea
| hear il in the silent night,
And at the break Of morn;
And aye it erieth-dark or light
Man was not made TO mourn!
In ev'ry stream that seaward flows,
That voice salutes mine ear;
In every wind that round me blows,
Its thrilling notes | hear;
In every sound of Natures heart,
The cheerful or forlorn,
This ever bears the better part
Man was not made to mourn!
The sun that glads the summer noon,
The light that blesseth all,
The myriad stars, the quiet moon,
The showers from heaven that fall,
The flowers which in our meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorn-
All, all, in their own fashion show,
Man was not made to mourn!
All Nature cries aloud-but man
Regards not Natures voice;
Perverteth her benignant plan,
Her workmanship destroys
From her fair book the brightest page
With imPious hand has torn,
Yet still she cries, from age to age,
Man was not made to mourn!
o gentlest mother! may thy child
Ere long thy lesson read;
Embrace thy precepts, loving, mild,
Thy fraternizing creed:
Then shall the blessed end be known
For which he has been born;
And all shall feel, from zone to zone,
Man was not made to mourn.
