Pos AND HUMAss.-Rives, of the Wash.
ington Globe, is 10 town, and occasionally
favors his friends with some sententious crit
icisms on our municipal affairs. Here is his
last view: ~. 'ii Ia rs-i
81 don't believe in this feeding the poor
from the public crib. always noticed when
we used to feed the hogs from crib down
in Virginia, two or three big hogs got all the
corn and did well, and the rest got lean, but
they all staid in the lane where the corn was
thrown, and never put their nose to the
ground to help themselves the whole winter.
But those that were turned ont and rot fed
from the crib went off to the woods, and in
the spring were all rs fat as butter, ana their
tails curled so tight that they could hardly
get their hind legs on the ground. 1t is the
same way with men as with pigs--if you
want their tails to curl, you must make them
root for themselves and not teach them to 90
to the crib.-N. Y. Post.

H The newspapers in many parts of
the West say that emigration is nearly rs
heavy this fall as it was last spring. The
fall is deemed as good season for farmers,
or even agricultural laborers, to emigrate as
the spring. The land can be broken, and
fences built, and the farm got ready genera
lily, for operations in the spring.

"Look nj the contrast. Today the foreign

MAN-We take the following rich morsei
frnm ona nf Dnw ira infant aa.n,nna

from one Of Dow, jr's patent sermons
Man looks upon life just as he locks upon
woman--there is no living with them, and
he cant live without them. He will run after
them. and rather than be held he will lose his
coat tail and character--kiss them for love,
and kiss them for leading him into trouble,
So with life. He partakes Of its pleasures.
and then curses il for its pains; gathers boz
quets of bliss, and when their blossoms have
faded, he finds himself 10 possession of n
bunch Of briers, which is all owing to little
incident that occurred in Paradise, when man
was as green as tobacco worm, and as un-
suspicious as a tree toad in a thunder storm.
He was told to increase and multiply, and SO
accordingly increased his cares and peopled
the world with parcel of candidates for per-
dition, and am one of them.
