SUPPORT Your HOME PAPERS. -
The Cleveland Herald talks thus
sensibly upon the duty of supporting
home papers:
Rscol!ect if a home weekly pa
per must be supported, home iulu-
ence is to do it. Every dollar sent
to the Eastern papers is at the ex-
pense of the local papers. A county
acquires prominence through its pa
per more than in any other way, and
to every one who has county inter-
ests at stake, bis home paper is a ne
cessity. gase
Never will such a man take a pa
per printed away from home until he
is able to take second paper.
His first paper will be his home
sheet, and he will SO identify bis own
interest with that of his county pa
Der, to consider his subscription as
much as matter of yearly duty as
the payment Of his taxes.

Free love, MS it is called, appears
to be on the increase in some Sec
tions North of us. An association
devoted to its principles and prac-
tices has located itself at Berlin, Erie
county,Ohio The association Of free
lovers ignores all covenants binding
persons together as man and wife.
1t differs from Nor monism, but we
cannot say it is any better. Its
creed may be inferred from the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Age Of
Freedom, a paper devoted to the nd
vocacy of Free Love. 1t reads
thus:
"Marrriage is the Slavery of WoI
man: Free love is the fredem and
of Woman and Man! Po-
lygamy is Marriage multiplied: Free
love is Marriage abolished"
From this it appears, the free love
association transcending Turks, In.
dians, and Mormons, aspires to bru-
tality.

the false rythm, and execrable rhyme

be pardoned if the sentiment wero

An Irishman's Confidence in a Bank

We heard the following capita
story yesterday, and only regret thai
we cannot tell it as it was told us:
A Banker in Dubuque whom we
shall call Mr.. My, for short, found
it necessary a short time ago to sus-
pend business, and accordingly clos
ed his doors. and issued card to his
depositors, in which he stated that be
hoped he would soon be able to re-
sumo again. The day after Mr.. M. had
closed his doors, he was met by an
Hibernian miner who had $4,000
deposited with him, and accosted
thus:
"Good morning, Mr.. NJ. Faith
and lis well you're looking this morn
Ing, considern the weather. But,
sure, it's sorry am, Mr. NJ, to see
the card of yours in the papers. But
niveI you mind such trilles as that
man-take courage, and hold D.
your head as high as iver the
throuhle of the thing will soon be
over. And as for that $4,000 of mine,
just kape it as long as you want it;
| have no use for the lousy dollars;
and | know yees for an honest man,
and perfectly good for the same at
any time. Kape it, sir, and pleasant
be wid ye."
Mr.. NJ. expressed bis thanks, and
the banker and depositor separated.
But Oh the following day Mr.. M. was
startled from his pheasant dreams"
by the presentation of a check for
$4,000, bearing the name of his Hi
bernian friend. Not knowing exactly |
how to understand the matter, Mr.. Nj. |
sent for Patrick, when the following
explanation took place: |
"Well you see, Mr.. NJ, Peggy, that
is my wife, has been raising the very
devil about my money, and, just to
pacily the poor ignorant cratur that
it was all safe, ] thought, be dad, I'd
Just send for it, and count it all over

consent to my leaving it wild you, to-
,ether wild other 81 900, that is CIV
ng US so. much trouble to kape from
,eing stolen from us "
To such an explanation. together
With the new temptation of $4,000
additional, the banker could take no
so he counted out the
$4,000, in short. But that was the q
asst of the Irishma1. a
The banker meeting him several 1
lays afterwards desired an explana- I
ion.
"Och, tho truth is, Mr.. NJ, it's my
elf that has been ashamed TO see I
'ees. Peggy, that divil of mine, you a
ee has hid the money, and dom me I
f | can find it at all, at all, and that's r
