To the Wool Growers of Ohio.

The third annual WOODEN manufactur-
ers' association of the Northwest will be
held in the city ofIndianapolis, Indiana,
commencing August 3, 1870, lasting four
days. A very urgent request has been
made of the wool growers to participate
and furnish samples of their flocks.
Samples of an amount to convey with
sufficient ciearness, the quality may be
sent in sacks or boxes marked. "FOr
the exposition, IN care of the Commit
tee of the Wooden Manufacturers Asso-
citation of the Northwest. IndianapO-
lis, Indiana" 1t is desirable that whole
feeces be sent that the committee may
be the better able to judge of the merits
of the several samples on exhibition,
the larger the amount the better.
Last year the man that carried off the
golden prize on Spanish Merino wool
had eigL teen fleece on exhibition. Gen
tlemen wool growers of Ohio, it is to be
hoped that you will not let this Oppor-
tunity pass without showing to the man.

Though the woolen interests of the
United States, AS well as the commercial
world, is somewhat depressed, it is but
temporary and beyond the control of
either the manufacturers or wool grow
ers. 4 normal condition will soon be
restored if Congress will adhere to its
present position on the woolen tariff. A
business so vast and so important cannot
remain in languishing condition very
long. Then exposition cannot fail to
awaken an interest to the vastness of the
wooden interest of this country. | will
venture to predict greater prosperity be-
fore twelve months
These eXpositiCns will also afford an
excellent opportunity for the wool grow
ers TO become acquainted with their
best and only customers, the maDufac-
turers A comparison of products must
prove of great values as well as to the
kind of woods needed for certain varie-
ties of goods and the kinds that will
be most insignificant for a few years.
One year the wool buyer has wanted the
farmer to grow certain kind OF wool,
the next year some other kind, which
has proven very unpleasant and unproi-
liable, this evil will be avoided by a
personal interview with manufacturers.
Now, brother wool growers, let US
rally to the Importance of our interests
at this critical moment and assist in
making the next exposition like the last,
a triumphant success. Let us not only
send samples, but attend the eZ hibition.
We may then form valuable ana
lasting acquaintances that prove pleas
ant profitable in after life.

IsitMVuIgar to Work ~

The New York Star complains of a
numerous class ofpersons among us who
| have got it into their heads that it is vul-
gar to work. The editor thinks it is a
| question which should occupy the
| thought of our law-givers, our reformers
and all honest men, how this terrible
growth of idleness and scorn of honest
labor may he blessed. Respect for labor
must be inculcated in the minds of the
young. AS we have said, about half the
world endeavors to live without it; and
of those who do work, it is safe to say
that half do so only from necessity, and
not from the conviction that work is
honorable and idleness degrading. They
work merely to live, and strive to win
wealth, that at some day they may turn
theirbacks upon the degradation oflabor.
There is no gospel more needy of preach
ers than the gospel oflabor. The pulpit,
the platform, the press, the school, and,
above all, the household, should be made
places in which the dignity of labor is
constantly taught. Parents should bear
in mind that they soho educate q child to
idLeness educate it to crime. Further on,
we are told it is one of the miseries of
our land that the apprentice system is
dying out. The few masters who will
take apprentices, the Star says, finds it
difficult to obtain them. Boys consider
themselves too fine to learn trades.
Mechanic" has vulgar sound to the
ears of young America. The master
mechanic has hardly response to his
advertisement for bright, capable boys
to learn a trade, which, once acquired,
is sure to afford steady employment and
comfortable wages; while lawyers and
brokers' offices are besieged 10y hundreds
who must work for years for pittance,
with little hope ofadvancement, and no
hope of learning business on which
they can rely for even decent support.

Ram.

Those who persist in drinking or SELL
ing intoxicating liquors are doing more
injury TO the morals and pecuniary in
terests and health and lives of the COM
munity, than all the evils that emanate
from war, pestilence and famine. 1t
will doubtless be seen at the last day
that hundreds of thousands, who on
earth never bore the name of drunkards,
were hindered by their love of liquor
from coming to the Savior. Indirectly
it ruins millions. 1t has dragged men
and women from the communion table,
ministers from the pulpit, to trail them
in the dust Such, then, is the evil and
the offense. 1t is not the only one in
the world, but it is one that is fearfully
common, of great magnitude, and it ex-
lists among yourselves. Where is the
family that some of its branches have
not suffered from it? There is not a
parent who, in view of its prevalence
has not cause to tremble lest his sons
should become drunkards. Should We
not exert ourselves in its extinction
among US?

Despotism of Habit.

The tyranny, the remerseless exact
ingness of fosIered habits and tastes.
ought to make rational man shudder
to contemplate the mental, moral, and
physical su1erings which they engen-
der. A correspondent writes: az think
if the city of New York was mine I
would freely give it to get rid of this
dreadful habit; it ruins my appetite and
makes me miserable. If you can give
me anything or do anything to enable
me to get rid of the dreadful habit,
please let me know" He had been
using opium and morphine to ease the
pain of chronic rheumatism and pro-
mote sleep, and now, in addition to the
pain and sleeplessness, he has the
" dreadful habit" which, of itself,
people learn that opium, like alcohol,
cures nothing; they are only temporary
allevients, the end being to bite like a
serpent and sting like an adder" The
aim of the good and honorable physi-
clan is always to eradicate disease, not
to plaster it over. What a grand good
thing it would be, what a mercy to the
poor, to keep in mind this one simple
truth: If you are ''better" only while
you are taking" any particular medi-
cine, and when you lay it aside, your
ailment returns, that medicine is not
only doing you no good, but is fixing
the malady more firmly in the system,
as the cutting off weed at the level of
the ground makes it take a firmer and
deeper and stronger root, and you are
paying, away your hard earned money
for the process; and yet we have seen,
within few days, in one of the largest
and very best religious newspapers of
the day, a richly loaded editorial, speak
ing in glowing terms of the peculiarly
healthful, braeing, and invigorating eff
fects of good drink of whisky every
morning. OF course he does not call it
whisky; physicians know it to be
''made" brandy, with "Bitters" to
match; of course, too, he was paid fee
for the insertion as his own of an article,
one word of which he never wrote.
Countless multitudes have been led into
habituai drunkenness by such means,
with the result of reputation ruined,
estate squandered, wives broken-heart-
ed, and children semitic the poor~house,
the brothel, and the penitentiary.-

mad if he takes it, and he does deliber-
ately drink it, is he not responsible a,one
for the acts he does under i.s influence? t?
And ought he not be restrained?
1t may seem that we are writing in
the interest liquor dealers. We are
not. We are writing in the interest of
common sense and with the conviction
that an unjust law will never cure a
great evil, no matter how great. If
men are restrained from purchasing liq-
uor because it renders them insane,
there will be no liquor sold. And we do
not care what laws are enacted, SO long
as men will buy liquor, 1T will be supplied
to them. The root of the tree is the de-
nadnd for liquor, and there the ak must

The same literal turn OF mind which
we have been illustrating is sometimes

maiiciously, and thus becomes the prop
erty of wit instead of blunder. Thus We
hear of a very polite and impressive
gentleman who said to a youth in the
street:
"Boy, may inquire where Robin
sons drug store is?"
Certainly, sir" replied the boy,
very respectfully.

waiting awhile. "where is it?"

There was another boy who was ac-

Sometimes this sort of wit degener'
+ ates or rises, as the case may be, into
punning, as when Flora pointed pens
lively to the heavy masses of clouds IL

II wonder where those clouds are
going?" and her brother replied:

of the spectators who were unable to

people was terrible and many nave lost
all presence of mind and were unable to
