work, to benefit still others.
The man who owns this land
pays taxes thereon. The man
who owns the plow, the cattle.
pays taxes on them. He pays
taxes, taxes on all he has, on all
he raises, on all he has invest
ed. And he must do so year
after year, For what?
We will tell you.
School taxes, that children
may be educated,
Road taxes, that roads may
be kept in order.
Town taxes, that the taxes
of the district may be collected
and rightly applied.
County taxes, that courts,
sheriffs, jurors, and county Of
ficers, may be supported.
State taxes, for like reasons.
The man-the cattle, the
plow pays these taxes. That
plow is of use. Ifall the plows
in the land should be exempt
from work five years! Would
not the man and the cattle re-
joice?
But hold on--how would
the man, his family, his cattle
live? And how would the
workman everywhere live?--
And how the weeds would
grow over their fields.
And who would, who could
pay the taxes when the plow
rested in rust and idleness, hid
den away in some shed or Gel
lar.
God speed you, plow and
plowman. And men care for
you, plow and plowman. And
protect you, as you make the
wild into a garden, give en-
ployment and reward therefor,
for the benefit Of people and
country.
Whoa! '
Now, then-get upl
And the cattle pull, the
plowman manages, lifts, twists,
and settles down to the ham
dies. The eyes of beast and
man protrude from sockets
the muscles of man and beast
swell and stretch-the plow-
point is fast in something, and
there is a bad break in the fur
row.
What is the cause? A root;
a stump-a stone-a rock?
No!
Only an iron box-a fire
proof safe. Handle it with
care; the Government stamp is
thereon, and you must not mar,
break, cancel, or repudiate it.
The iron box is full of bonds.
All nicely printed and fold.

These bonds are hidden away
to escape taxation. One of
them earns more than ten

The plow earns wheat.
The bonds earns gold.
The plow pays taxes.
The bond does not.

4 Re1nedu for Cold Feet.

1t is always unfortunate for
a person to suffer habitually
with cold hands and feet. 1t
indicates that the blood is in
different in quantity OF poor in
quality, or that the digestion is
injured, or that too little exer-
else is taken. There are many
means of partially or whooly
remedying this evil.
Lying with face downward,
with thin soled shoes on, let
some one pound the feet with
a wooden mallet not larger
than an egg. Let the blows be
of such force as are not unpleas-
ant to bear.
Stamp with the feet on the
hard floor when the shoes are
on.
Take a great deal Of exer-
else of the lower extremities,
such as walking, running, etc.
If you haye not sufficient
strength Of your own, have

limbs in such a way as to draw
the blood to them.
Atnight soak the feet in hot
water for five OF ten minutes,

Hints for Husbands,

of life have fairly begun, The
errors of his youth may be ob-
liberated; the faults of his early
days may be overlooked; hut

rlage he commences to write an
lneffable history; not by tho
pen and ink, but by deeds, by
which he must ever afterwards
be judged.
His conduct at home, his care
of his family, the training of
his children, his attentions to
his wife, his devotlons to tho
great interests Of eternity, and
these are the tests by which lli4
character will ever afterwards
be estimated by all who think
or care about him, These will
determine his position while
living, and influence his memo,
ry when the grave has closed
over him. And as he uses

The New York Trihune

The New York Tribune ap-
proved the Richardson-M
land death-bed marriage, for
the reason that "Besides giving
the woman a legal right to be
q mother to Richardson g
young and doubly orphaned
children, it was operative main
ly in giving her a right,
throughout her black and bit
ter future, to be called by the
name of him who for her sake,
was so foully murdered, rather
than that of his stealthy, COW.
ardly assassin" If allowed to
stand, the bigamous arrange.
ment will have another effect,
which has been studiously kept
out of sight. The woman will
not only have a legal right to
be a mother etc, but also to
rob the 'doubly orphaned chill
dren' of a third of their fathers
property! Decent people will
join in the hope tnat the rela-
tives of Richardson may be sue
cessful in the suit they are
about instituting to invalidate
the marriage and thus prevent
the robbery. For the rest, the
Court which assumed to give
the woman a divorce restored
to her the name of Sage, so
that, if the decree was good for
anything, she was already freed
from that of the 'cowardly as
sassin.' ....sszasA..A4-A 8 ..

The fact is, the present sys-
tenn of National banks is one
cause of the great distress in
the country. The banking priv.
ilege was unequally distribut-
ed, and New England has the
largest portion Of the banks.-
The Democratic party has al
ways opposed the building up
Of this great banking monopo-
ly, and their reasons therefore
have been paraded before the
people times without number.
Are not events proving the sa-
gacity Of this opposition, just
as time has proven the wisdom
of'Old Hickory in suppressing
the old United States Bank? 4

The bond fears nothing, for
