our columns about a year ago, but we
re- produce them at the instance of gentle
man Of this city well known for his good
judgment of horses and skill in horsemanship.
The discussion Of the subject on which they
treat having been recently introduced into our

are peculiarly aproposat this time. Our read
ers will agree with us that the opinions
advanced are reasonable and worthy Of being
needed

that owners of stations who claim certain
speed for their horses, and seek patronage
from breeders by statements regarding their
flvorite "time,' should hold themselves ready
to back up their assertions with the yellow
boys, whenever an allowance Of five seconds
to the mile is offered them, and by refusing
to show the time for fun or money, they
should be held liable to breeders for having
obtained money under false pretences as is
constantly the case where stations are repre-
sented as having gone in the tortles or tifties,
who cannot possibly show 2:09

ESickis..s u Dead Carcass.

1t has no doubt been observed by I'll who
have read the platform of the Democratic
party of this State how mincinsly and eau
tously the creed-makers handle questions
really at issue, and at the same time with
what puppy ferocity they assail the Maine law.
The Maine law is not now Il question at issue,
nor is it likely to be again. The people have
long since settled it at the ballot box. 1t is
dead, at least as an issue between the parties,
and the Democratic leaders can have no other
reason for pummeling its poor defanct carcass
than to excite the fears Of ignorant and
degraded rum suckers concerning their 'inal-
ienable right" to make beasts Of themselves
and beggar their families. We are sorry to
see our ancient and once honorable opponent,
the Democratic party, reduced to the necessity
Of appealing to the sinks Of iniquity and vice
for support. Its degradation is truly pitiable.

depths F!

TRIALS OF MARRIED LIFE.-Married
life has its trials and sorrows. Tenn
pers may prove incompatible, and call
for forbearance. Fortune may be
chary of favors, and enforce self deni-
al. Children nay be ungrateful. and
sting the poor heart that has plllowed
them. Sickness may come, and haunt
a household for years. Blu; ask the
poor man, struggling along with his
debts, and the weary woman, toiling
early and late, accomplishing the ruin
of her beauty and her buoyancy, if they
would be placed apart, could compe-
tence be given them and their trials be
brought to an end. The answer would
be: There is something sweeter in this
companionshlp Of suffering than any
thing the world can offer from its store
house Of joys outide of it, and some
thing which would make even severer
trials than ours only iron bands to hold
us more firmly together. .-
