The Borrowing Nuisance.

A correspondent of the Northeastern
Farmer, whose righteous indignation has
| been aroused by those intolerable pests,
INSCRIPTIONS borrowers, writes to that pa,
per as follows:
My neighbor wanted TO borrow my
shovel-would return it in the evening.
Evening came, but no shovel. The next
evening it was quietly returned to it's &C
cus,omed hook in the wood house, the
blade covered over one.half its surface
with coaling Of dry mortar. pride my.
self on my clean and bright shovels and
hoes. Half an hours work with an old
knife-b!ade, and the use of sheet of sand
paper restored it.
Another time he was building a pig
pen. The posts were too long, and they
were very hard, and lis saw very dull.
Or course he borrowed mine, and he saw.
ed off nail with 1.-THE posts had been
used before. lie sent his little boy to
return the message-"Pa would a sent
it and got it filed, but he knowed you al.
lus filed your own saw, and it wouldn't
take but few minutes to sharp it again. "
Another neigbbor "borrows" the priv
ilege of getting water at my we'll. The
well lie deep, aud we draw with windlass.
1t is hard for my wife 20 draw buckelful
for she is feeble, and, to save her, usually
fill the bucket before going away to my
business. AS the we'll is in an out kitchens
l leave the filled bucket hanging in the
curb. Myneighbor sneaks in, empties the
bucket, and Is mean enough to 60 away
without refiIling it. Wife and l conclude
it is better to suffer wrong than have a
difficulty With near neighbor, and so 70,
The sake OF peace, we submit to this wear
and tear of soul and body. When the
same person borrows -four, for the best ar
ticle, a poor one is returned. Eggs
matches, "a drawing o tea," are never
returned.
I might increase to great length re
cord OF these examples, but my object is
only to illustrate the position taken, that
the habitual borrowers code is lax one
This may be partially accounted for by the
fact that the independent, selfreliant cor
tioD of the community seldom borrow, and
the practice is mostly left to people of the
opposite kind. The interruptions borrow.
or usually belongs to one of two classes
The easy, sbiflless sluggard, or the greedy
graspng victim of avarice. The frs,
borrows with dim expectation Of paying
some time, and tho hope that lie may be
able to do so; the other borrows with a
full design never 10 make an honest return
if be can avoid tit shall be clear gain
If be can make it co. Both are knaves
and unreliable in all matters Of trust
Among fon.st men, borrowing may be
made convenience, and mutually benef.
cial. Yet think the question is worth
considering, whether it does not denoral
ize a man--weaken bis self.reliance.

Fighting at a FnneraL.-A Clergyman
Stoned.

A singular religious quarrel occur
red on York street, not long since,
eliminating IN the arrest Of three
parties on one side, who were charged
with stoning German Lutheran
clergyman, because he refused to per-
form the regular funeral rites over q
deceased member of the church, who
died accused of misdcmcanor, for
which ho would have been suspended
had he lived few days longer. The
clergyman, Rev. Henry Fair, is a
pastor Of the German Lutheran
Church in Rockport, Ohio. In the
neighboring town Of Parma there is
another German Lutheran church.
AT the time the clergyman was at
tackled, he was at the late residence Of
Mr.. Koch, on Yo'k street, deceased
member of his church, to officiate at
the interment. Koch, having become
the proprietor of q saloon, violated
one of the rules of the clergymans
church, and would have been brought
before that sacred tribunal for exam
ination had he lived a few days longer
Finding tho deceased ready for inter
ment, with this sin upon his head,
the clergyman hesitated about inclu
ding "sanctification" in the service
and upon that rock the funeral split
The service was to have taken place
at one o'clock P. NJ, but the wrang-
ling between the Rockport and Par
mo branches delayed the interment
two hours. The. wife of the deceased
was willing that her husband should
be buried without "sanctifcation" and
SO were many Of his friends and tho
members Of his church. The Parma
branch, however, not being in the
minority very much, and taking o
worldly view Of the case, insisted
that "sanctification" should be inclu-
ded in the bill. The house Of mourn
ing was soon turned into den of
pugilists. Women, unaccustomed to
battering opponents with anything
but brooms and pokers, pursued the
clergyman as he sought refuge in
fight, belaboring him with sticks, and
the men hurled boulders from the
pavement that would have been con-
sidered very dangerous weapons when
machinery was in vogue for throwing
them in ancient warfare. A neigh
boring house was not sufficient shield
to the man of God against the furious
onset of tho mob, 80 he fed from it,
taking refuge in buggy, and escaped
without serious injury. The funeral
took place without "sanctifcation."
A few days ago the minister returned
to the late residence of the deceased
to offer tho consolation afforded by his
clerical capacity to the widow and
children, when lo was attacked the
second time, and fed from the scene,
as before, to save his life. Three of
the leaders Of this last raid-William
Kaiser, G. Forester, and John Kai-
ser--were arrested and brought before
Judge THden, Of the Probate Court,
and were required to give bail. in the
sum Of 800 each to keep the peace

it was indefinitely postponed. 1t is

INSURANCE. TAXATION.

The revenue laws of this State
impose a tax upon the years re-
ceipts of the business of insurance.
All business legitimate in them
selves, and not opposed to public
morals, should receive equally the
fostering care of judieious legisla-
tors. Capital should be taxed, uot
enterprise or character. These
bring business but business does
not necessarily bring profits, as the
whole Industrial community, as
everybody but Office holders can
testify, has been the case for several
years past. - ..-..' ~ e..
What would be thought of a law
that proposed to tax the master
carpenter heavy per cent. on his
grosSreceipts on his contract for
building houses /? Those receipts
might be 500, 900, and yet his net
profits might be only So, 900,
Would you tax him $1,000 on a
profit of $4,000? Would you im-
pdverish his family deprive his
O children Of food, of the inappreci-
able blessings Of education, or
force him to go to other States
where legislation is more judicious?
What would be tboughtof a law
that would tax a merchant an
onerous per cent on his gross cash.
receipts, or on the amount of goods;
bought during the year, Every
legislator knows that if such a law
were enacted, it would force every
merchant in our large towns to
make false returns, or to withdraw
from business. ODD lI -siHs
IF you will not tax the master
mechanic, the farmer, or the mer-
chant upon this principle, why I'M
pose it on insurance companies Z
They are made up of mechanics
and farmers and merchants, and are
entitled to the same consideration,
in their corporate capacity, that is
extended to them in their individu-
al capacity. E19m .3 h17 ID lagf q
But we hold that tax upon
gross cash receipts, or upon amount
Of business, is radically wrong, and
directly opposed to the genius of
our institutions and the progressive
character of our people. 1t has
been said, and truly said, that there
is no country on the globe where
energy and character are so amply
rewarded as in our own-where
the young have as many chances to
make fortune and position.
1t is and has been the policy of
all the States of our Union, as well
as of the different nations of Europe,
to encourage the formation and
successful prosecution of life insur-
ance companies. 1t has been held
that they are beneficcnt institutions
THAT they encourage frugality,
economy, temperance, and morality
that they diminish pauperism,
and that most horrible of all vices,
prostitution-that they offer to the
poor man the only means by which
he can make provision for his
family, when they are deprived by
death of the proceeds of his daily
toil-that, therefore, a tax upon
life companies is a tax on the
widows mite and the orphans
bread. I'D I'D. .r-. ts.. all 4
If you tax these companies on
their gross cash receipts, you may
as we'll extend the principle to
Masonic lodges, to Odd-Fellow as
sociations, and to the thousand
other benefeent institutions estab-
lished for the relief Of suffering
humanity, and which so prolni-
nently marx, in our century, the
advance of civilization and the pro-
gress of Christianity. s is1H
