Life's Pictures. a
A story is told of a rich landA
lord who once oppressed a poor
widow, who was SO unfortunate
as to be his tenant, finally turning
her out into the street on cold
day in winter. Her son, q mere
child, less than a dozen years old,
remembered the cruel scene. and in
after years became an artist, and
painted the scene in a vivid man
ner, placing the picture where the
landlord could sec il, who turned
pale at having his former infamy
brought to mind so 'forcibly and
offered large sums Of money for the
picture, that he might hide it from
his own and other peoples gaze.--
But all in vain he could not buy
the picture, and for a long time it
remained at his very threshold, as
it were, a silent evidence Of his for
mer infamy. So has each human
being an invisible painter at his
elbow painting on the souls can
vass q record Of the acts and
scenes of life, depicting the pas
sions of. his career with an intensi-
ty that at some future day win
haunt with their truthful denunr
Citations and biting rebukes, Hap
py for us, then, if such dark and
sombre scenes are few, and their
ftful, smouldering fires are eelipsy
ed by fairer and more holy scenes
when We gaze back on the panora-
ma of our past lives, and review
our career before entering npon
another one Of greater capabilities
Happy for as, then, If our race af-
| ter happiness has not been a mere
scramble after riches, and if we
have not groyeled so long in the
earth beneath our feet that We
have lost sight Of the beautiful
skies above us. Yes, happy IN
deed If we have no haunting pic
ture of gIaring misdeed, or elouded
hope, or perverted aspiration TO
point its ghoulish finger ever at us
or greet us with its sickly grin of
malicious torment, as we turn THE
way and that in a vain endeayOr to
escape it upbraidings. sg

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed OF
work, and of hard work. Work
for the best salaries or wages you
can get, but work for halEprice
rather than be idle. Be your own
master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your individu-
ality-hat, coat and boots. Do
not eat up or wear out all that you
earn. Compel your selfish body to
spare something for profits saved.
BE stingy to your own appetite, but
merciful to others neeessities.-
Help others, and ask no help for
yourself. See that you are proud.
Let your pride be of the right kind.
Be too proud to be lazy; too proud
to give up without eonquering eve
ry difficulty; too proud to wear a
coat that yon cannot afford to buys
too proud to be in company that
yon cannot keep mp with in expen-
ses; too proud to lie, or steal or
cheat; too proud to be stingy. r.

Too Poor 70 Take A PaDer.


The Antioch Ledger relates the
following, which is not the only
case that might be put on record
by any means: e @
We met one of these objects of
pity last week. He was actually
too poor to take a paper; times
were too hard; hadn't time to read,
DC. We really pitied this man
he looked so poor, and mean and
NANCY generally, that we supposed
him to be one of Gods forgotten,
and dropped into the world with
out the means of getting a hyeli-
hood or the ability TO feed himself.
But later in the day we saw him
hilariously drunk, treating a crowd
each round costing him a dollar
and half It's a strange fact that
men viii refuse to take their home
paper on the plea that times are too
hard, and.yet they will hang them
selves by the chin to a bar and
agin up at an expense Of four OF
five dollars. They can't spend five
dollars a year for paper, but can
invest five hundred in whisky
Such men are poor--poor citizens
too. If the country were filed with
such, it would be bankrupted in a

Be Something

- -sN---~ 9---e-t .
There is much good sense in the
following advice addressed to every
individual:
sDon't be a drone. You may re-
ly upon your present possessions,
or on your future prospects, but
these riches may fly away,or hopes
may be blighted; and If you have
no place your own, in such q case,
ten to one, you win find your path
beset with thorns. Want may
come upon you before you are
aware Of it; and having no posses
sions you find yourself in anything,
but an enyiable condition. tits,
therefore, important that you
should be s0meikiag. Don't depend
upon fortune, for she is a tickle sup
port, which often fails when you
lean upon her with the greatest
confidence. Trust to your owe ex-
ertions.''

A man at whose house 1 was a
guest told me that he had been a
hard drinker and cruel husband f;
had beaten his poor wife until she
almost become used to it. 'But,'
said he, ''the very moment I signed
the pledge I thought of my wife
what would my wife say to me?-
Strange that I should think of my
wife the first thing but I did; and
as ] was going home I said to my
self: Now if go home and tell her
all Of a sudden that I have signed
the pledge, she'll faint away, or
she'll up and do something, and /
must break it to her by degrees
Only think Of it! why the night
before I'd have knocked her down,
just as like as not if she hadn't
looked to please me; and now I'm
planning to break good news to her
for fear it would upset her"
AS near as 1 could gather from
what he told me, he found his wife
sitting over the embers waiting for
him. As he came into the house,
he said ''Nancy, I think that"
''WelI, Ned, what is itP' @Why, I
think I shall-that isl mean to
to-NaDcy, I mean p Whats
the matter, Ned? Anything the
matterT' rYes," said he, .'the mat
ter's just this-1 have signed the
temperance pledge, and 50 help me
God, I'll keep it."
She started to her feet, and she
did faint away. 1 was just in time
to catch her; and as she lay in my
arms. her eyes shut and her face so
pale, thinks 1 she's dead, and I've
done it now. But she wasn't dead;
she opened her eyes, and then she
put her arms round my neck; and 1
didn't know she was so strong, as
she pulled and pulled till she got
me down where I had not been for
thirty years-on my knees. Then
she said: "Oh, God! help my poor
Ned, and strengthen him to keep
his pledge" and 1 hollered "Amen p
just as loud as could hoIler. That
was the first time we ever knelt to-
gethers bnt it was not the last.

GRAND JURY.
LETTER FROM BOWLING GREEN.

BOWLING GREEN, May 81, 1871.
EDIroR JoURNAL: Auditor Newton, in his
letter in last weeks JOURNAL says "If otho rs
an honorable man he will explain how he came
to write communication every statement of
which, is untrue" The explanation is very
simple, 0thos statement was founded upon
the relation Of party who said he was present
and heard the conversation, and who still says
il was true as related by Ohio. Otho's inform
ant is reported 10 be man Of veracty and moth
ing has yet transpired to impair confidence in
bis Integrity.
But, ,"the CALLED jade wnces." 1t is we'll known
to those who have noted the dOings in and about
our Court House, that the Auditor, assisted by
few friends here and at PerrysbIrg, is assum-
ing to control the political affairs of the county
and to write up the political slate for next Fall.
And not satisfied with this, he has extended his
guardian care over the city of Toledo, and has
assumed to dictate to its citizens whom they
should have for Postmaster.
Not only these, but his sublime assurance led
him to address the President Of the U. s. advis-
ing him that the interests of the Republican par
tY in the 10th Congressional District, of Ohio,
demanded the removal of Mr.. Reed.
Itmay be asked, what right had he to inter
fere in the matter of the Toledo Postof1ice, when
it was and could be none of his business The
answer is palpable. The Republicans of Toledo,
in his judgement, were incapable of selecting a
proper person to become their Postmaster. and
that he was capable of doing so, and even went
to Washington to impress upon the President
the absolute necessity of appointing Mr.. McMa-
ken. And in imitation Of the immortal ~ N"
he has assumed the pressure Of looking after
and protecting the party throughout this Con-
gressional district, and without even being in
yited to the responsible position. His modesty
is as painful as it is rare. OTHO.

June, near one year ago, by the citizens Of
Toledo, Maumee City and Perrysburg, and all

brightest ornaments in that little party, Colonel
CHLRLEs s. Tom. He died at the residence OF

the ripe aEsOfstyeSrs,
The True american, o! Paris Kentucky, in
commenting on the death of Col. ToDD, says
"He was born in 1871, and graduated at the
College Of William and Mary, in Virginia, in
1909, He WAS prominent soldier of the war
Sflsl2. As long ago as 1922 he was Minister
60 Columbia, South America, and was appointed
Minister to Russia by President TYLER in lSAi
Col TODD last year accompanied the soldiers Of
the war 1919 on their excursion to Fort Meigs
We little expected then that We would so soon
be called upon TO record his death. He was a
gentleman Of the old school, q fnO scholar, 4
writAE Of unusual power, and all the positions
he bald performed his duty with fidelity and
ability"

sherman ON Tax Reduction.

Senator Sherman, on behalf of the Finance
Committee, has asked for authority to consider
the schedule during the vacation, with view
to report early at the next session a scacme OF
general reduction. He thinks that the ordinary
expenses of the Government can be reduced to
sl00 100000 a year, and that with lilo, 600 900
fund and $50 900 OO1, fer pensions. the entire
levy need not amount to over 1870 900 600 an
unally.
What is likely to be proposed in reference to
duties on imports is not conjectured; but it is
given out as the opinion of the Committee that
all the internal revenue should be raised from
whisky, tobacco aud low income tax.
Senator Morton in laying down the platform
for 1872 for Grant to stand upon promised the
total abatement of the income tax at the next
session. declaring that he had voted for it thus
far only as a necessity to the public credit

The Bond OF II. II. Wall,

In fixing the amount of Walls bond last
Wednesday, Judge Mott took occasion TO say in
substance as follows at was matter of sur
prise to some why the bond in this case was fix
ed at only $4,000, when the defalcation was so
large. The object Of tho bond was not to rem-
burse the county in case the party failed to ap-
pear; for, upon such failure, and a forfeiture OF
the bond. he might again be arrested anywhere
in this country, or in any foreign country with
which we had a treaty. The object was to COM
pei the attendance ofthe party to answer, and in
fixing the bond, reference must be had to the
ability Of the party to give such bond"
Now, while the charitablY inclined " ere Of
the opinion that Wall had not profted by his
crime, there never has been any good and suffic'
cient proof to that effect. Should there not he
good re lson to fear-if Wall hIs the fruits his
crime concealed-tIat he may forfeit so small a
bond? II NAV be all very true that he may be
re-arrested. But that would cause additional
expense. Why not put his bond high enough to
insure his attendance.
This Is the view the taxpayers take OF the
matter, aid no fine. spun theories Of lawyers
will explain il away. They believe and with
good reason - that Mr.. Wall will never be tried.
