The. principle OF cooperation, 90 lately
planted among our practical c!asses is elready
bearing good fruits. We hear Of the Co5pera-
tive Iron founders of Troy. who, with IS rvsm~
bers. have capital of S2J000 shares bong
S10O each. and every member laborw.
While other founderes were without profit Last
Winter these cO0peratives earned $1,000 in
waees-a comfortable sum for poor times
and it is the sure prospect of greater prosperity
than even this that will make them willing 10
endure unitedly any temporary shortcomings
of wages. The greater part OF the members,
we are Informed, own the houses they live i'm,
and what more need be saidf Hecding the
moral of the late strikes, the North w Wcstem
Manufacturing Company have adopted the Co
operative plan. The senior partner of the COM
pany offered this plan as compromise to his Sc
ceding workmen. and 80 out of 100 have fully
accepted it. The share of the profits of tho
enterprise WILL of course, be apportioned among
the workmen according to wages, and tho
hours Of labor will be rednced according to
the statesof business. The workmen may in
vest their profits in the capital stock, and thus
become more and more their own employer
a plan by which they have everything to gnn.
The terms Of the North Western cooperation arc
presented among our reports, and are worth q
study. Cooperation is now password among
the ranks of labor. 1t is ciyilizer and equal
izer, and we expect its spread and perinanence

Wouldn't Own Up.

Joe Stetson was wild, rollicking fellow, who spent most of his time in drinking and spreeing, while his wife Polly was left at home to do all the chores. Upon & certain occasion Joe left home, to be back, as he said. that night. Night came, but Joe did not. The next day passed, but about sunset Joe came up in the worst condition imaginable-his clothes dirty and torn. one eye in deep mourning, and his face presenting more the appearance of raw meat than anything else.

When will the National Debt be Paid.

When will the National Debt be Paid.
 The official monthly statement of the public debt to the 1st of August is as followss
 Bearing coin interest, $l,678, 8,906, ,96l 80 Bearing currency interest, 574,964,s55 % Matured debt not presented
 for payment, l5,G36,S15 S7 hebt bearing no interest, 369, l64,85 % Fractional currency, 2S,554,729 72 Gold certificates of deposit, 19457 960 co
 Total debt, $2,6S6, 6S5, ,S96 39 Amount in Treasury (coin) $lO2, 905,l74 % Amount in Treas. (currency) 72,474,296 3s
 The amount of debt, less cash in Treasury, has decreased S4,309,5l9 9S ; debt, bearing coin interest, increased S75, ,262, ,759, while that bearing currency interest has decreased $50, ,726,9l0. The matured debt not presented for pay ment has increased $5,923, ,795 55. The debt bearing no interest has decreased Sl,Sl4,25S 74. Amount in Treasury. in coin, since June 1, has increased S4, l46.- 756 39. and the amount isl currency less than that exhibited in last statement, is S9l9,16S 60.
 Leaving out of the calculation the difference between gold and paper, the public debt is being reduced at about the rate of nine millions per annum, if we have not misrpprehended the fig ures. But that is more than equalled by the interest, which will be due next month, on the seventy-five millions in- crease of the gold bearing debt. In- stead of paying off nine millions, we shall run in debt twenty. When, then, is the public debt to be paid. Paying it off at the rate of nine millions per annum, we shall pay it off in the year 2lG7. Increasing itannually by twenty millions, we shall owe six thousand millions at the same date. Never mind.

THE FARMER.

The farmer is lord of tho cattle,
 The farmer is king of the soil, Tho his brow may be darkened by sunlight His hands may be browned by his toll. He looks OCT his fields and his orchards, With joy, when his days work is OCT, For Le knows the seed planted in spring, In autumn will yield rich store. He sees God in nature around him, The flower that blooms on the plain, Tho dying in winter--in summer
 Will blossom in beauty again. The corn that h dropped in the furrow, By sunshine expands into birth Ito rich ear of gold in the autumn, Add beauty and grandeur to earth. The grass that is withered and dying, The tree tho now leafess and bare. Will spring into life and new verdure, Which proves immortality there. The seed that ia sown by the wayside, Whether of tares or of wheat-- Takes root in the soil that surrounds it, And starts into life while VIC sleep.
 Fed Nothing is lost, or is wasted, That lies meath the richly turned sod, The ''seed time and harvest shall fail not" If you trust in the power of God. By the sweat of the brow shalt thor labor The wsary-faint not-but endure crown of the faithful awaits thee For God end his promise is sure.

Timely Hints Miss Leslie on Slang.

There is no wit says the author of the Behavior Book, fin lady to speak of taking 'snooze,' instead of nap in calling pantaloons pants or gentle men gents, ,'-in saying of man whose dress is getting old, that he looks 'seedy'-~and in alluding to an amusing aneedote, or diverting incident, to say that is rich All slang words are detestable from the lips of young ladies. We.are always sorry to hear a young lady use such word as polk ing, when she tells of having been en- gagged in certain dance too fashiona- ble not long since; but happily, now it is fast going out, and almost banish- ed from the best society. To her honor be it remembered, Queen Victoria has prohibited the polka being danced in her presence. How can genteel girl bring herself to say, last night was polking with MT. Bell or MT. Chope came and asked me to polk with him. These coarse and i'll sounding names are worthy of the dance. We have little tolerance for young ladies, who having in reality neither wit nor hum- or, set up for both, and having nothing of the right stock to go upon, substi- tute coarseness and impertinence (not to say impudence,l and try to excite laughter, and attract the attention of gentlemen by talking slang. Where do they get it? How do they pick it up? From low newspapers or vulgar books? Surely not from low compan- ions? We heard one of these ladies, when her collar chanced to be pinned awry, say that it was but 'on a drunk, meaning crooked on head. When dis concerted, she was 'tloored.' When submitting to thing unwillingly, she was brought to scratch Sometimes she did things on a sly
