"IAM A FREE MAN AND WILL DO AS l
PLEASE" The above is common saying
employed by those who are reproved for some
act of theirs inconsistent with moral integrity.
The man who habitually INDUCES in intoxi-
eating drinks, if warned of the danger to
which he is exposed, or reproved fc- the in
furious example he sets before those under
his influence, is very apt to justify himself
by asserting his freedom and his resolution
to do just as be pleases. 1t is a popular delu-
sion for man to believe that he belongs to
himself. Community is compact, and a
mutual dependence exists between the inte-
grail portions. No man can tear himselffrom
the compact and assert bis indviduBl lindepen-
dence. He is servant of the whole, a
bondsman to his wife, his children, his rela-
tions, his fellows and to the community at
large. To all and each of these he is respon-
sible for the manner in which he conducts
himself. For them he lives and for their
happiness and welfare he works, and the
conditions of bis servitude kindly allow him
certain portion of his gains to administer
to his own personal comforts. The man is
always servant.
The declaration that, Il am free man and
will do as I please is an assumption of
rights not guaranteed to man by any moral
code. He can do as he please only so far
as to not iDjure his fellow men in word, or
thought, or deed His boasted freedom is
annulled the moment its exercisesinfringes
upon the rights of others. A man, being
perfectly free, might swear to his hearts con-
tent at all times and places if it were not for
its corrupting influence upon those with whom
he associates. He might exercise his propen-
sity to steal, being free man, were it not
that it might injure his fellow men. He
might drink whiskey to druukspness and
exhibit his beastiality in respectable assem-
bies were it not for offending his brother or
causing his brother to offend. He might 60
where he listeth with his whiskey cart and
sell his poisonous compounds at every corner
with impunity were it not for inaicting inju-
ries upon society. Aman's evil propensities
constantly urge him to commit various wick
ed deeds, but he has no right 70 sin if it
would in anywise injure his brother. If be
gratifes his evil propensity he usurps lib
erty not granted him and for which he is res
ponsible. Il am free man and will do as
| please is uttered again and again at the
whiskey cart and around the slimby bar as
the poisonous, corrupting draughts are swal-
lowed, yet for all these the offender shall be
brought into judgment We are bondsmen
all.-iSpirH Of the Age. ...'+'

. GRApEs.-Place bone in the earth near
the root of grape, and the vine will send
out leading root directly to the bone. In its
passage it will throw out no fibres-but when
it reaches the bone, the root will entirely
cover it with the most delicate fbres, like
laes, each one seeking a pore Of the bone.
On this bone, the vine will continue to feed
as long as nutriment remains to be exhausted.

HENS AND EGas.-For several years past
I have spent few weeks of the latter part
of August on the Kennebec River, in Maine.
The lady with whom I have stopped is a
highly accomplished and intelligent house
wife. She supports "hennery," and from
her I derived my information in this matter
She told me that for many years she had
been in the habit of administering to her
hens with their common food, at the rate of
a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper each alter
nate day, to dozen fowls. Last season,
when I was with her, each morning she
brought in from twelve to fourteen eggs,
having but sixteen hens in all. She again
and again experimental in the matter, by
omitting to feed with the cayenne for two
or three days. The consequence invariably
was, that her product Of eggs fell off to five
or six per day. The same effect of using
the cayenne is produced in winter as well as
in summer.-Boston Transcript.

a9 An Indian assaulted another, and reg
ular information against him was made. The
judge ordered the sheriff to bring the parties
before him. The Sheriff returned without
them.
"Where are your prisoners ?" asked the
judge.
II caught them," replied the sheriff.
"What did you do with them ?"
81 gave the defendant fifteen lashes."
"What did you do with the plaintiff"

"What with the informer 2"
"Why, I gave him twenty-five lashes-for
had he held his tongue, there would have

1t would be we'll if all the dispensations of
justice were as equally and as promptly ad-
ministered.

None for an ill-tempered man with the tooth

up with the gout. None for dandy who is
splashed by mud-cart. None for man
who loses his umbrella.
Its better to brew beer than mischief
to be smitten with young lady than with
the rheumatism-to fall into fortune than
into the sea-to be pitted with mother-in-
law than the small-pox-to cut tooth than
friend-to stand dinner than an insult
to shoot partridges instead of the moon-to
