SLANDER.

Twas but a breath
And yet a woman S fair wted,
And friends warm grew cold and stilted
And life was worse than death.
One venomed word,
That struck its coward, poisoned blow
In whispers hushed and low,
And yet the wide world heard.
Twas but one whispered-one-
That muttered low, for very shame,
That thing the slanderer dare not name,
And yet its work was DONE
A hint so slight,
And yet so mighty in its power,
human soul, in one short hour,
Lies ushed beneath its blight.
If there isn't much poetry, there is truth, which is
better, in the following lines:
He W no checks a child with terrsr.
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But grlevous moral wrong.
Give it play and never fear it,
Active life is no defect;
Never, never break its spirit
Curb it only to direct.
Would you stop the flowing river.
Thinking it would cease to flow !
Onward must it flow forever
Better teach it where to go.
A bootless notwithstanding barefoot.

baby.

An amusing paragraph states that in
Vanderburg Co., Indiana, one of the red
children of the forest is officiating as a
Methodist minister. After he has finished
his sermon, he delights the congregation
by giving the war-whoop and executing
scalp'dance, with which benedictory per-
formance the brethren are dismissed full
of pugnacity and piety. Isn't this just
the kind of missionary ambassador to send
with the pipe Of peace to our rebellious
tribes? To be sure, he would have to be-
gin with the whoop and scalp-dance. This
would touch the native heart and prepare
it to acquiesce in good solid treaty on
Christian principles. The Quaker agents
may whoop, but they cannot in conscience
dance and the Indiana man might be
had uncommonly cheap.

ASHES FOR WHEAr.-A correspon-
dent Of the Rural Gentleman says:
1. Wood ashes operate as a manure
upon wheat even in the limited quantity
Of eight bushels per acre.
2. They push the wheat forward
several days, and in time to escape the
hot, sultry days, which often prevail
about the time of the 'heading out" Of
the wheat, and,
3. They strengthen the stem, giving
it substance aud solidity.
I may here add one or two more prop
critics to the ashes. They afford just
the kind of pabulum or food which is
best for the development and perfection
Of the grain, and will, in my opinion,
also prevent the ravages Of the fly in
wheat. I would here venture to remark
that whoever tries this experiment will
hereafter spread his wood ashes upon
his wheat as above indicated and in SO
doing he will etfectually guard against
and prevent the rust in his wheat.

"Wha, do you say to me for boarder,
Barbara ?' said the old bachelor, taking
both the widows hands in his. Barbara,
we were young fools once, but that is no
reason why we should be old fools now.
l like you just as well as ever did, and
I'll do my best to be good husband to
you, and a good father to your little girl,

Barbara blushsd again, and hesitated,
but Nahum was not to be eluded thus.
"Shall l take down the sign To Let

"Yes," she murmured, almost under
her breath.
So Nahum went deliberately out, and
cooily tore down the bill, to the great as

Nathan Mathews, who returns the
largest income in Boston-seven hundred

an exchange, failed in business few
years ago, but got started again by indus
try, and paid every cent Of his indebted

he invested in suburban building lots,
selling whenever he could realise tho
smallest profit. He also bsiit houses,
selling them whenever he could get the

whole question of social or matrimonial

Compulsory Education.

COMPULSORY EuucAlIOus
The Sparta Eagle, in commenting upon
that portion of Gov. Fairchild's message
which recommends compulsory education,
very forcibly says: s-n
Sand finally, we would ask, is the
injury to the state under the present sys'
tenn greater than the injury to individual
liberty under the proposed compulsory
system There is no one who will, who
can, judge so justly as to the interests Of
child as parent, and to punish par
ent, through judge and jury, for failure
to send child to school, is proposition
worthy only O those countries where the
advantage of education are not apprecia-
ted or understood, and is comparable only
to those ancient laws which compelled
men and women to marry under pena ty
of fine or imprisonment. The people
want no school committee man demanding
the reason for the absence of their chill.
dren from school; no surgeon examining
their little ones to ascertain whether their
constitutions would bear six hours daily
imprisonment in a close and ill-ventilated
schoolroom. Such things belong to the
family, and the state should ntver intrude
at the hearth stone except upon the most
urgent and tremendous reasons. The
absence of 4 or per cent. of the children
who possibly might attend, from the pub
lie schools, does not give. the state a just
presext for the invasion of family rights.
and we believe that should the measure
proposed become a law, it. would meet
with such general reprobation that it
could not be enforced, but would bring
contempt and ridicule upon all connected
with its passage or execution. We trust
that the legislature will pass no such
law"
