A STARTLING ADDRESS TO
YOUNG MEN.


The Bucyrus Forum Of the 9th says
We don't know to what Journal the credit
of this article belongs, but we voueh for
the truth of its utterances. and adiure
young men to study and profit by it.
The Republican party has created a
gigantic. aristocracy based on your labor
on bonds given and made exempt from
taxation. These bonds are simply your
notes. You must pay them. They must
be paid from your earnings To-day-fo.

for years and years to como, YoU, young
men, all the while growing older, must
work to redeem these notes which are

cages on your labor.
When the war began these did not ex.
ist. Under the laws of America they can
not legally exist as created for they
bring wealth to those who hold them and
are not taxed. The Republicans legis-
lated the power to create suoh notes and
aellcd them bonds, sold them for half their
ice, declared them exempt from taxa
ton, declared that those who hold them
shall be exempt from taxation, and de.
clared that you young men, working men
of America, must pay interest on those
notes in gold. and in time, pay the prin.
cipal.
If you have little farm, or team, or
trade, or piece of property worth one
thousand dollars, on it you pay taxes
This is right. If rich man has million
dollars invested in bonds, your notes
which he says you must pay, he pays no
taxes. He locks his bonds in safe, rides
at his pleasure and you pay the taxes, pay
him interest in gold, pay the principal
work hard and live poor, he does nothing
and grows richer, and 10 time dies and
leaves bis children the very dollars you
earned, which should have benefited
and made your children at least the equls
OF his children.

TATTLERs AND TATTLING.

A double obligation Of silence and se-
crecy rests upon one who Is guest In .
family. The turpitude Of betrayal of
family history By visitor, is far greater
than theft would be. To pocket half q
dozen silver spoons would do far less dam
age, produce far less suffering, and be less
immoral than tale-bcariDg. It is thing
go geandalous that it should degrade .
person, and put him or her out Of society.
To betray the secrets Of the household Is
not only an odiOus immortality, but it is
sin and shame to be On good terms with
those who are known to commit such out
ragos. They are m;screants. They put
themselves out of the pale of decent so-
eiety. They should be treated as mo1aI
outlaws.
These hungry eyed wretches who sit in
the unsuspicious circle OF parents and
children, treasuring their words, spying
their weaknesses, misinterpretiDg the in
nocent liberties Of the household, and
then run from house to house with their
shameless Dews, are worse than poisoners
Of wells OF burners Of houses. They
poison the faith of man n man. IF one

PIGEONS AS FARM STocK.--In many
portions of France, it is said to be the
practice Of landhoIders to make a condi.
tion in their lease to their tenants that
they shall provide pigeon house or dove
cot, and keep it well stocked with these
birds. The reason for the condition is
that these birds do great amount ol
good in eating up the seeds OF nox
ious plants. They do not live on well
grown grain, when they can find thai
which is shriveled or the seed of weeds
and grasses. They are but worker:
among the offal of the barn yard, but dc
not, like barnyard fowls, scratch up gar
dcns and play the mischief generally. /

DEcREAsINo.-Dr. Allen, of Massa-
chusetts, is still contributing to Lowell
paper and to the Boston Congregational
ist, statistics showing that the population
increase in that State is due almost wholly
to the foreign element. Here are some
of the latest figures:
OF 85S births in Lowell in 1868,
562 had fathers born abroad, and
only 296 had f theirs born in this country.
But even this does not give tho whole
statement, for, of the 296 whose fathers
were born here, certain Dumber had
foreign mothers or grandparents, so tha.
he estimates the strictly American births
at 237 only, aud the foreign or partially
foreign at 621. And yet, less than hall
the population of Lowell are foreigners,
or of recent foreign extraction. The
number of births in Lowell was 824 in
1867, Of which 215 were of pure Amer
lean percentages. In Lawrence. in 1867,
there were $50 births; in 1868, only 100.
OF the latter, DR.. Allen estimates that

pure American blood. About half the
population OF Lawrence are of foreign
extraction.
And DR.. Storer has told, in plain
words, why the native stock in Massachu,

CHLoRoFRoMING OF BEEs.-Chloro-
forming is now extensively used in Eng
land, and without injurious results, to
stupefy bees, SO as to remove the honey.
For this purpose, o table is set about ten
feet from the hive, and covered with q
cloth. Some chloroform (about quar-
ter or sixth of an ounce) is then poured
into shallow dish aud covered with .
wire gauze to prevent the bees from fall
ing into it. The hiveis then removed
from its stand and set over the chloro-.
form. In about twenty minutes all tho
bees will have fallen down on the table

comb the hive and bees are restored TO
their place, the latter soon recovering
