Pudding THE ROOTs-Many of our
readers may have neglected to transplant
choice shrub or tree, until it seems to
them to be too late in the season. They
will find, however, that the operation can
be safely performed if they will take up
the plants and puddle the roOts-that is,
dip them in mud made of about the con-
sistency Of thin mortar. The puddle-hOle
should he made ready before the plants
are lifted, and the roots should be dipped
in the mud before the sun or air can have
any effect upon them. After the roots are
coated with earth, they may be carried to
the place where they are to be planted.
Shrubs that have been heeled in until the
leaves have started may be safely removed
by using the puddle. and Home.

Remove the soil round each hill to the

disturbing the roots then spread evenly
over an area of twenty inches in diane

linseed meal or oil meal and cover it with
mellow soil; then spread mulching of

the weather be warm and dry, liberal
supply of warm water daily will greatly
promote the growth of both vines and ber-

Laws which are No LAWS.

Asss"S VsAAASn NV ANV A]ssEScs
Governor Washburn gave the Vermont
legislature this sound advice. in his inaug.
hral message, on the moral subject Of
laws, which are never enforced, of which
the usury laws of the State is q striking
example. "The certainty that ar existing
positive law cannot be- violated with i'm
punity, that transgression, if known, will
surely be followed by punishment, has as
much influence in promoting respect for
the law and preventing its violation, as
the example of visible actual punishment.
And the continual existence upon the
statute book of positive law which has
become so far obsolete as to be wholly dis.
regarded and openly violated with entire
impunity. has tendency to weaken re-
spcct for all law. The law in this state
prescribing the legal rate of interest for
money loaned, and positively prohibiting
the taking, either directly or Indirectly, Of
greater rate of interest than the rate
prescribed is now in this condition. 1t is
daily and openly violated by banks and
10y individuals, and its violation is entirely
disregarded. 1t serves only ms check
upon those who are too contentious to
knowingly disregard any positive law, and
operates as an inducement to them to
send their capita! abroad for investment,
instead Of investing it in the State for the
promotion of its industrial manufacturing
and mechanical interests. 1t is thus d..
rect element Of harm and practical mis-.
chief. The only remedy for its enforce
ment is given to those who consent to
borrow money ut rate exceeding the
lawful rate, and involves the necessity OF
their bringing suit to recover back money,
which they have paid in pursuance to
their voluntary agreement. 1t thus oper>
ates mischievously both ways. If allow
ed to be violated with impunity it weak.
ems respect for all law; and remedy for
its violation can only be obtained by SAM
ctioning the violation Of the promise, in
reliance upon which the loan was effected.

Man.
We know little about him, aud yet,
volumes could be written upon this SUBJ
ject.
And God said, "Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness" here is the
beginniny of our knowledge of the exist
ence of human beings. "And we shall
all stand before the Judgment seat of
God 5" here it ends. Both truths are
told US !; we know nothing of them by
experience. What we know lies between !;
which is, our present life. "A being is
placed upon the earth, surrounded by
like beings. They have the same origin.
duties and destiny yet the greatest mys-
terry of this being is his own existence !;
his deepest study, his fellow-man. How
strange! we do not know ourselves,
while vast is our store'house of knowl,
edge of other things. Our only recourse
is to conclude:
This life 10 short We are but lines,
Pat in to I'LL up space.

We run our short-lived race.

SLURs ON WoxEN.-Of oil the evils
prevalent among young men, we know Of
none moro blighting in its moral effects
than to speak slightingy of the virtue Of
women. Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken,
as the low estimate they form of the in.
tegrity of women-not Of their own moth.
ers and sisters, but of others, who, they
forget, are somebody else's mothers and
sisters. As rule, no person who sur
renders to this debasing habit is to be
trusted with any enterprise requiring in
tegrity Of character. Plain words should
be spoken on this point, for the evil is q
general one, and deep-rooted. IF youna
men are sometimes thrown into the soci-
ETY. Of thoughtless or lewd women, they
have no more right to measure all other
women by what they see of these, than
they would have to estimate the charac-
ter Of honest and respectable citizens by
the Developments Of crime in our police
courts. Let our young men remember
that their chief happiness of life depends
upon their utter faith in women. No
worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philoso.
ply, no generalization, can cover or weak
en- this fundamental truth. It stands like
the record of Go ] itself-for it is nothing
less than this-and should put an ever
lasting seal upon lips that are wont to
speak slightingly of woman.

The Critical Condition Of the Country.

During the past five years the people
have been treated to elaborate essays upon
tho unexamplcd prosperity of the country
under Republican rule. The claims of the
PARTISAN press that all the people were
making money faster than ever before
have heretofore been assumed to be true
by the mass Of the people, and it is only
recently that the claims have proved to lie
false. The truth is that the commercial
and mercantile interests Of the nation
were never in a more precarious condition
than now. The seeming prosperity of the
country was purely fictitious, produced by
deprecated PAPER currency always fuc-
tuating in value, unstable markets and the
speculative mania that these causes pro,
duced. The awakening of the people is
likely to be bitter; for few are prepared
for the great crisis that is imminent.
Three or four years since all our farmers
and business men were able to live in
e!yle that they had not been accustomed
to, but there are few to-day who are able
t. make both ends meet. The farmer re-
ceives but IS to 70 cents currency per
bushel for his wheat-less than he re-
ceived previous to the war, while he is
obliged to pay an average of SO or GO per
cent. more for his tools, his household
goods and the necessaries of the table
than at that time. Few merchants now
doing business on our streets are paying
expenses, and none are realizing the right.
ful returns upon their investments. So
far from being prosperous we are rapidly
apr aching to bankruptcy.
Much of this can be rishtfully attribu-
ted to the policy of the present and past
administrations. Congress, by its profit
gacy in the expenditure of the peoples
money; by its creation of q vast multi>
tude of new officers all anxious to prey
upon the public treasury; by the main.
flamenco of the supremacy of the military
over the civil power; ~ its expensive and
utterly useless reconstruction acts; by
granting immense trscts Of the public do
main, to giant nonopolies, has extracted
the substance from the people and left
them poor indeed. And the present finan-
cial policy Of the administration seems to
be directed in the same way-to burden
tho people for the benefit of the rich
bondholders and the unsuitable cormor>
ants who feed upon the public treasury.
The thing il evident: unless our gov
ernment 10 administered with more econ
Omy than it has been in the past unless
the burden Of taxation i: reduced; unless
the rich are compelled to defray their
portion of the expenses Of the government,
we will be involved in financial ruin.
This has long been evident to all thinking
business mon, and il We could avert the
impending calamity the whole people
must mite in demanding reform on the
part Of eur rulers. The republican party
is responsible for the present condition Of
affairs, while the democratic party is pow.
