From the Ohio CuItivator.
A Home Picture.


Ben Fisher had flashed his hard days work,
And he sat al his cottage door,
His good wife Kate, sat by his side,
And the moou-lght danced on the hooF:-
The moon. light danced on the cottage floor
Her beams were as clear and bright
As when he aud Kate, twelve years before,
Tak'd love in her mellow light
Ben Fisher had never a pipe Of cl ay.
And never a dram drank he;
So he loved at home with his wife 10 STAY
Aud they chatted right meuily;
Right HIerrily chatted they on the while
Her babe slept on her breHsti .r- "a e.
While chubby rogue, with rosy Smiles
On his iaIher's knee found rest.
Ben tod her how fast his pol6ioes grew,
And the corn in the lower field;
And the y heat the hill grown to seed,
Aud promised a giOrioes yeld;- 9
A glorious yield in the harvest time,
Aud his orchard was doing fair;
His sheep and his stock were in their primeS
His farm all in good repair.
Kate said her garden looked beautiful.
Her fowls and her calves were fat;
I hat the bntterihat Tommy that morning ehurned
Would buy him Sunday hat;
That Jenny for Pa n new SHIRT had made,
And 'lwAs done too by rule; a.aa 5z
That Neddy the garden could nicely spades
And Ann ahead at school.
Ben slowly passed his toll worn hand
ThIO' his locks Of grayIsh brown-- aa
1 tell YOU, Kate, what Think said he.
We're the happiest folks in town.
j know sad Kate, that We all work hard
Work aud h, h Ih go together, I've found;
For there's Airs. Bell does NOT work at all,
Aud she's sick the whuie year round.
They're worth their thousands, so people say,
But meier saw them happy yet: 4a .s.s..E
'Twould not be me that would take their gOlds
And live IN constant fret;
My humble home has light within,
Mrs. Be's gold could not buy, q"
Six healthy children. merry heart, 8
And husbands love lii eye.' ta r-
fancied tear was in Ben's eye --e
The moon shone brighter and clear, Chs.
c"uld TOT tell why the man should cry:
But he hitched up to Kate sIill nearer;
He lean'd his head on her shoulder there,
Aud took her hand in his
guess-(lhO' loOk'J at the mon just then,)
That he left on her lips kiss.

The Garote.

An eastern paper speaking of this Span
ish instrument of death, by which Lopez has
probably been executed, says: sA1 a
1t is the most disgraceful kind of execution
Whether it is intended that iI is most dis
graceful to the government which provides
the instrument, or the victim which suffers by
it, we are unable to say. Perhaps the guillo-
tine is more merciful mode of taking life, but
we doubt it. very much. The machine has a
far more terrible look. and all the accessories
are of more revolving character Both are
instantaneous in their operation, deriving the
victim of sensation so suddenly that his tor
ture only continues for an indivisble point of
time In the guillotine the axe decends from
sufficient height, with such velocity that the
eye can hardly follow it and severing the head
from the body at single stroke. The Gar
ote resembles large handkerchief, folded SO
as to 60 about the neck, The prisoner is
placed in kind of chair, with high back. TO
which his head is fastened by means Of an iron
clasp The Garote encloses his neck, and is
attached TO his back with screw. Ar Civ
en- signal, the screw is rapidly turned, and he
is suffocated in the shortest possible space Of
time 1t seems horrible sort Of business to
institute comparisons between different instru.
ments of torture; but We may be permitted to
say that no civilized nation has more awful
mode of infictiug capital sunishment than
hanging BY the neck on the gallows, practised
in Great Britain and the United States, with
the exception of the Russian knout, H.

In the year ls47. three hundred and eighty
nine tuns of iron were manufactured by the
furnaces of Penns yIvania In ls49 and 1850
there were only one hundred and ninety eight

effect of the Democratic tariff of 1886, on the
industry of the country. Had it not been for
this British policy, the iron ore beds ofIndiana

some very valuable specimens of lead ore.
which, were brought from the San Saba.
There are immense quantities of il. and hun
dreds of tons may be obtainedwith little labor.
This ore contains lare portion of silver, and
it is thought quite probable that the old
Spanish mines which were worked for silver
near the old fort on the San Suba resemble
this. The settlements are rapidly extending
towards this region in which this ore is found.

ask any cool, sensible, unbiased Wing

to weaken our whole Ticket! l am not
