The Eight Hour system.

There is movement being made among
the mechanics Of the country to inaugur-
ate the system of eight hours labor for a
days work instead Of ten. Many Of
these gentlemen voted at the last election
in favor of exempting the wealthy bond
holder from the payment of all taxes
Horace Greeley, the shining light Of Re-
publicanism, who is in favor Of exempt.
ing these bonds from taxation, says that
the mechanics and laboring men Of the
country will be compelled to work two
hours longer each day to pay the interest
on these bonds which are exempted from
taxation. In voting for the Abolition
ticket, they voted for two hours more Ia
Dor each day, instead of two hours lees.
If working men wish to reduce their
hours of labor, they should unite them.
selves with the Democracy in the effort
to make these fellows pay their share Of
the national burden. At present the
working man is compelled to pay tax to
the government on every coat he buys,
and every morscl of food he eats, and il
Thaddeus Stevens is correct in the state
ment that these taxes must be doubled to
pay the interest on these bonds, then the
laboring man will have to toll proper
tionate number of extra hours to the in
crease of the taxes, to procure the same
scanty food and raiment he now has diff
Guilty to procure with ten hours labor
The only hope for the poor man is in
equal taxation Chilicothe Advertiser.

"Hurrah for Goldfish

the extreme of fashion, promenading the
streets, fiourishing a delicate walking
stick, ogling the ladies, and turning up
his interesting probosis with an air Of
disdain, at a neighbors son or daughter,
when we know that his father acquired
the property which bis fool of son is
making himself ridiculous upon, by col
lecting grease and ashes, we are attempt

When we see young woman, whose

PURITY OF CHARAoTER.-0ver the
beauty Of the plum aud the apricot there
grows a bloom and beauty more exquisite
than the fruit itself-a soft, delicate flush
spreads its flushing face. Now, if you
strike your hand over that, II is gone -
The flower that hangs in the morning i'm
pearled with dew, arrayed as no queenly
woman ever was arrayed with jewels
once shake it so that the beads roll off,
aud you may sprinkle water over it as you
please, yet it can never be again what it
was when the dew fell silently on il from
heaven. On frosty morning you may
see panes of glass covered with landscape,
mountains, lakes, trees, blended 10 a
beautiful picture. Now lay your hand
upon the glass, and by the scratch of your
finger, or by the warmth of your palm,
that delicate tracery will be obliterated.
So there is in youth beauty and purity
of character, which, when once touched
and defled, can never be restored.

Hints on Harvesting Buck
wheat.

The excellence of buckwheat -four dc.
pends chiefly on the management Of the
grain between the time of ripcning and
grinding, The common way Of treating
buckwheati eifectually prevents making
good flour, it being allowed to remain in
the swath for several weeks, whenitshould
never be suffered to lie longer than day
or two, and it is decidedly better for the
grain to rake it and set it on end, as fast
as it is graded. Much less grain will bo
wasted by shclling out; tho straw will
cure and dry out sooner, and make better
fodder tho crop will be ready for thresh-
ing and housing in less time; aud the
grain will yield much better quality Of
-four. 1t is especially injurious to the
grain to be exposed to storms before it
Is set up, for dirt is spattered all over tho
grain, by the falling Of large rain drops,
Wetting and drying thetgrain several
times, destroys the 'life" Of the flour. II
will never bo so white, nor make SO good
cakes, but will be sticky aud the cakes
clammy, like the flour Of sproutcd wheat

CAUTION FROM THE
AgBRsGAH WATGH co.

It having come to our knowledge that imi.
taiions Of the American Watch have been put
upon the market in great number, calculated
by their utter worthlessness 10 injure the rep
utation Of our genuine products, 10 protect
ton, we again publish the trade marks BY
which our Watches may invariably be known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The FIRST has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The SECOND has the name
"APPLET0N, TRACY & CO., Walthan,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
"P. 8. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass.,n en-
graved on the inside plate. u
All the above styles have the name Ameri-
can Watch Co. painted on the dial, and ere
warranted in every respect.
The FOURTH has the name
OWN. ELLERY, Boston, Mass y engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
DIAL
All the above described Watches are made
ofvarious sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases. as may be required.
Il is hardly possible for us to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which We
have alluded. They are usually inscribed
with names SO nearly approaching our own
as to escape the observation Of the unaccus-
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the Union Watch Co.. Of Boston, Mass
mo such company existing. someare named
the "Soldier's Watch, /" 10 be sold as our Fourth
or VIM. Ellery style, usually known % the
Soldiers Wetch." Others are named the
appleton Watch Co.." othersthe "P. 8. Bar
tley." instead Of our" r"P. s .Bartlett;" besides
many varieties named In such manner as 70
convey the idea that they are the veritablo
productions ofthe American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particular
ly soldiers, against'buying certain articles
CALLED Watches, so freely advertised in H.
lustrated papers as "Army Watches "0fi-
GERS Watches" "SIagic Time 0bservers,s
"Arcana Watches" &c., the prices Of which
are stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars.
A good Watch, in these times, cannot be A.

BLOWING Our KEROSENE LAMPS
The danger of blowing out kerosene or
carbon oil lamps from the top is greater
than people generally suppose. There
are several instances on record where lives
have been lost by the explosion Of lam ps
from this practice. The following expla
nation of the causes that produce the OK.
plosion are worth considering and heed.
ing:
First-The oil in the lamp is generally
low; leaving more room for gas.
Second-The gas is very innamable,
and will always explode when ignited.
Third-In blowing the blaze down, il
ignites the gas.
The inference is, a lamp should never
be blown out from the top. The wick
may not perfectly gil the tube, and the
flame may go down, when the gas comes
up.
Fourth The less oil in the lamp the
greater danger.

DeatI-Bed Marriage to Save an
Estate.

indianapolis Cor. Cincinnati Commercial ]
A remarkable marriage occurred in
this city last week. A lady, made Wild
ow some years since, was left large
amount Of property, on condition, ex.
pressed in her husbands will, that she
should marry again. Why this strange
and unusual condition was imposed, no.
body knows. At any rate, in case she
did not marry, she was to enjoy the use
of the property during life, but on h,r
death it would pass to other parties. She
has been long sick with consumption, and
finding her end approaching, she deter.
mined to marry, in order to secure the
succession to her children. A returned
soldier, comrade of her son, consented
to play the role of husband 10 this singu.
lar marriage, and the lady, lying on the
bed from which she will soon bo carried
to the tomb, made the responses in the
presence of numerous witnesses, who will
testify that she was Of sound mind, and
became lawful welded wife. TIE cir
cumstances Of this strange story are all
strictly true, just as have narrated them

MUSING.

MUSING.
BY IoTA.
When the sun has run its daily round,
Upon yernal car,
And night has let her curtains down
And pinned them with star.
IT'S then love to sit and muse
On natrre all around.
Ny mind with pleasing things infuse,
Of light things and profound.
love 10 mediate upon
The constellation bright,
The power Of HIM whose hand had drawn
Them on the map Of night.
And then the Heavens deep vaults to climb
And scale the starry heights,
Roam DER the region of the mind
Beyond the VISIONS fight.
From world to world my way TO urge
On fancy's rapid wing,
And standing on creations verge
Ny mind beyond 10 fling.
Then fastening from that utmost bound
To the great centeral soul,
And view the universe roll round
One complicated whole.
At eve love to fill the air
With faries Of my mind,
And see those beings, shapeless, fair,
Attempt the winds to climb.
love 10 SEQ the distant trees
Half hid with nights light serene;
The mounts, The hills and winding lees
Clad in ther robes Of green.
To look upon the swardy mead
Bcdecked with opening flowers,
To wander when the by-ways lead,
Or in the leafy bowers.
To let my wandering mind go down
The stairway of my life,
Till mid the scenes Of youth, I'm found,
With the dearest pleasure rife;
To walk in memory DER those scenes,
= Enact my plays once more.
And with my friends again commune
And all those joys restore.
And then, in fancy with my hand
Unlaiching childhood home,
Receive the welcome Of that band
No more from il to roam.
And stars are shining bright,
To muse is my delight;
Yes, when the sun has gone to rest,
While shadows creep along the west.
