Lams and lava Fable.

Two beggars, Lame and Lazy, were In

Lame called on Charity, and humbly
asked for cracker. Instead Of a cracker
he received loaf
Lazy, seeing the gift OF Charity. ex-

Lazy now applied to Charity, and call
cd tor a loaf Of bread.
"Your demanding a loaf" said CHAR

are Of the class aud character who ask

Lazy, who always found fault, and had
rather whine than work, complained Of

Of a breach Of an exceeding and pious
promise-"Ask, and ye shall receive"
Charity pointed him to painting in
her room which presented to his vision

A HISTORICAL BALE OF CoTToN -
When the steamer Lexington was burnt
in Long Island Sound, January 10, 1910,
David Crowley, of this city, second mate,
was saved on la'e of cotton, upon which
he drifted two days and nights, and final.
ly went ashore at Riverhead, L. I. This
bail of cotton Mr.. Crowley has preserved
with religious care until the present time,
but the price of the staple to day has
brought out the sacred relic for sale. It
is of remarkable quality, and the 800
pound bale is worth from four to five hum
dred dollars.-ProUideace Journal.

From the Ne0 York Mercury (Rtp.)
The 0ne-Term Principle.

To whatever depths of political intrigue
corrupt oiiiceholders may stoop in their en-
beavers to secure a-monoply of office; how
ever much the tools of such may pirate about
the blessings pertaining to the doctrine of
reelection, the minds of the people and
the genius of true republican institutions
are thoroughly and only welded to tho
one-term principle. Possibly, Mr.. Lin.
coin, in tho enthusiasm with which he is
endeavoring to usurp for life the Presiden-
tlal chair, bias overlooked this truth. II
so, the march Of events will speedily sug-
gest It, Monopoics in politics are essen
TALLY monarchial in their spirit. Long
terms and double terms, whether heredi.
tary or bestowed, SAVIOR too much of the
vicious institutions of the Old World.
1t is this identical one term principle
which is one of the best features of the
Chicago Republican platform; and even
those who may oppose it upon the grounds
OF temporary expediency, admit its
sound wisdom aud its peculiar value. In
consonance with the literal spirit of 70.
publicanism, it presents no phase in which
it can be productive of injury to the
wholesome political interests of the PEG.
pie. For such reasons, it will be sustain.
ed not only by the active support of the
Independent press, but by the influence
and vote of every thinking man. M.
Llncoln's attempt to entail the Presidency
is one which bears the appearance of i'll
gratitude aud dishonesty of purpose; and
despite the patronage and promises which
bis adherents may use as magnets where.
with to attract the suffruges of loyal men,
the attempt must miserably fail. Did
his Administration bear not one of the
blots which disfgure its actual record, his
hopes of success would have no better
oundation than they have at present., be-.
cause this great principle would still provo
lnimical to his reelection. Expediency
may mitigate the severity of fundamental
Ideas, but it should not and cannot relax
them; otherwise we should have an inver-
sion of that standard maxim: principles,
not men,"

THE HEALTH OF GEN. ScoTT.-Gen.
Scott attained on Monday last his 18th

low countrymen to know that he enjoys
excellent health and spirits. The Gener-

ton, contracting that they must be rea.
dy for issue early in July. He continues

GEN. MCCLELLAN AT EAsToS, PA.-General
George B. Mcclellan, in company with Mr.. Bar
rington, Chief Engineer of the Morris and Essex
Railroad Company, with whom he had been in
specting the line of the proposed extension of
that road TO Easton, arrived, says the Lancaster
Intelligencer, in that place on Tuesday evening,
and put up at the Franklin House. In one hour
after his arrival crowd of several thousand per-
sons assembled in front Of the hotel, when the
General stepped on the balcony. He was greet,
ed with enthusiastic cheers from the immense
throng below, and the waving of handkerchefs
from as many ladies. The scene is said to have
been brilliant one. He did not make speech,
but merely thanked the people for so gratifying
reception, and at once returned to his parlor,
when as many as could possibly force their way
in paid their respects to him, among whom were
many, soldiers who had fought under him.

AN AnvANcE.-The Baltimore County Aduo-

scribers that from and after the first day of July
next they will raise their price of subscription to
one dollar and fifty cents per year. Gone dol
lar" says the advocate, scarcely pays for the
material and labor expended on the paper" This
we know from experience to be SO. No one can,
at the rate which he has now to pay for every
thing, afford to publish paper the size of the
AduOcate or american, or even q much small Ter
SIZE for one dollar. Material of all kinds is more
than fifty per cent. higher now than the same arti-
cleS could be had for less than two years ago.
Besides there seems to US no valid reason why
newspaper work should not advance in proper
ton to other things.

AN IMPROBABLE CONTINGENCY Il.
is related that when Mr.. Wendell Phillips
was askedA what time he intended retur-
ming to France, he replied, "Not until the
slaves are free, and the women vote" II
possible, We could wish that both these
contingencies had occurred, SO that this
talented but fapatieal gentleman might
have no excuse for remaining longer in
America. Very many slaves have been
practically emancipated, but the women
are not yet allowed to vote. When they
are, Mr.. Phillips will have sufficient com.
pany on his voyage to Gaul. All the men
will be eager to accompany him.

HARvEsT-From the general appearance Of the
wheat fields, harvest will soon be upon us, and
much anxiety is felt about the scarcity of hands.
We have already heard many complaints of the
inability of farmers even to procure hands suf1i-
cent to do the ordinary farm work. Our yield
of wheat does not promise to be large. There
is much complaint of fly, and in some localities
rust, while in many fields there is but little
wheat on the ground. Oats and grass looks we'll,
and promise fair crops. Corn and potatoes also
looks we'll, and if the season continues good, u
very fair yield may be expected.
