In so far as these words are to be in
terpreted to mean thoughtless foilies,
all will agree with them, and, even
looking at them in a strictly moral
sense, there is indeed much to be con-
ceded. For it is a well known fact
that women are naturally easily led
astray, and, for the purpose Ofeorrecting
those who allow themselves to pass
beyond the boundaries of propriety,
fiOgging would be in order as a pun
ishment, whilst it would assist those
in sustaining their virtues, who are
not trespassing upon these boundaries
by keeping even them in submission
and fear. But let US leave off talking
and come to what we were going to
say, namely:
The great fame of Solomon having
already spread over almost the entire
world, that he was the most wise and
liberal dispenser of justice to all such
as took his advice, many persons
came from different parts of the world
to ask counsel of him in regard to
their trials and troubles; and among
the rest of those who started to con-
suit him was a young man by the
name of Melissa, from the city Of
Lajazzo, Of which place he was an in
habitant. In riding along toward Je-
rusalem, it SO happened that in leav-

Sharing a Husband.

Saratoga Correspondence New York Times.
There is a new story afoat here, and
unless Joe Miller has noticed it,it seems
a fresh incident in human speculation
Lizzie A. and Gertie B., two Of the most
beautiful girls of the year, fixed their
hope on Henry D., a grand pdrti from
New York. Both girls are stylish, hand
some and rich, and the favored swain
was only hesitating, in the words Of the
old song
How happy could be with either
Were t'other dear charmer away.
Both are girls of the period, and to
that must be charged the story l am
about to tell.
One day Miss Lizzie and the young
gentleman walked through the park after
an excellent stroll, during which much
love making went on, and while passing
through the halls Of the Grand Union
the lady soon tottcred anil fell fainting
into the arms of her attendant. 1t was
a bold strike, and victory for a moment
seemed fastened there. Gertic soon
heard of this, and her fertile mind grew
tired with scheming. At last smile
grew upon her face. She owns the incest
pony phaton in Saratoga, aed the next
day she invited the gentleman to ride
He accepted and met his fate. The well
trained horse was quietly going on his
way, when suddenly the wheel C me off.
and the pretty Gertie lay fainting on the
hard road. The terrified Henry lifted
her in his arms and bore her to conve-
nicnt farm house. For two days she re-
fused to recover from the shock On the
third day the remorseful Henry, who was
constantly with her, could stand it no
longer He surrendered; she recovered,
and soon there is to be wedding in
high life Now comes the touch of ma
ture. Miss Lizzie forgot her loss in adj
miration of the grand coup d'etnt and
has already congratulated her rival upon
her brilliant victory.

Yankee Decision.

The trials of young widower up in
Wyndham County, VT, in trying to get
''help,'' are racily told by an exchange:
SAT last, most discouraged, he drew
up in front of a small dwelling among
the hills, and asked the customary ques
ton:
sCan you tell me whore 1 can get a
woman to do the work in farm house !?
"Where are you fron!" asked the old
man, viewing the handsome horse and
buggy wish critical air. @
"My name is -, and | am from"
"Oh, yes, I've heard of you; you lost
your wife spell ago. Wall, I've got six
gals-good gals, too, aad you may take
your pick among 'em for a wife; but

looking one, drove to the Justices and
was married, and carried his bride home
that very night, having secured a pe.ma

proves thus far in every way satisfactory,
with no question of wages and no limit to
the work she is expected to do.

Turning Gown Green Crops.

1t has got into the papers that plow
ing down green crops produces acid III
the soil from the decomposition which
is hurtfnl to crops; that it is better to
turn under when the crop is matured.
that the decomposition will then be
slower, and no hunt will result.
This is doubtless true with some soils
Those deficient in alkaline NIT er. But
as most soils contain lime and potash
and other kindred materials, this acid is
not only harmless but beneficial. as it
unites with the alkalis making plant food
which otherwise might lie as it already
has for ages, useless to vegetation.
1t is for this reason that the turning
under Of green crops is highly recon-
mended, not because its chemical action
is known, but because experience has
demonstrated its advantage The great
majority of cases have demonstrated
that it is good thing to turn down the
full, blossoming, succulent crop. The
alkalis are most always present in some
form to take up and unite with the acid.
In soils where the acids remain free,
would it not be we'll to sprinkle the clio,
yer with lime before plowing, or previ
ously apply it to the soil (? In such a
case, lime would be benefit in any
event, rs the soil requires it.-Utica

this infamous extortion, Senator Sher-
man, in public speech, declares he is
unable to recognize any difference be
tween a protective tariff and revenue
tariff, and the Republican State platform
of Ohio is authoritatively expounded to
be ''neither for or against revenue tar
ut or protective tariff"
But there is one point we desire to i'm
press on our readers. For the fiscal year
that has just ended, Mr.. Secretary Bout
well acknowledges the receipt into the
treasury Of S206,270,4O in gold from
the tariff tax on imports. Now to re-
alize the full extent to which the people
are taxed by the swindling Radical tariff,
we must add to this the amount paid by
them on the enhanced prices of goods
under the protective system of taxation.
The New York Posts figures, estimated
by Mr.. Wells, we believe, puts this indi-
rect taxation at three hundred millions
of dollars.
Here. then, we have total of taxation
imposed on the people under the present
Radical tariff,of over FIVE HUNDRED
AND THIRTY-THREE MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, grcenbacks, in single
year.
We can't add anything to the force of
these figures. Ohio has one vote in the
Federal Senate that will be cast for the
overthrow of this monstrons system Of
oppression and robbery. The election
this fall is to determine whether that
vote shall 5e reinforced by q Revenue
Reformer, or neutralized by an obedient
agent of the monopolists like John
Sherman, who says he can't "recognize"
the difference between an honest tariff
and stealing one.

A Dog Story.

About the biggest pile of knowledge
we ever heard of possessed by dog,
was told Us by his owner, who was a
great politician He said that his dog al-
ways knew when there was to be an
election as well as he did, and always
went to the polls and stood round and
listened to, what was said, and the next
morning would make him read the re-
turns aloud. At one election the votes
were going to run very close; the dog
had heard the matter discussed, ard he
seemed more than usually excited. On
the day of election he started and made
believe run mad, and bit every voter OF
the opposite ticket that he could tino,
and scared The rest SO they did not dare
to 90 to the polls, and the result was
that the party he worked for carried the
election by big majority. We never
should have believed that, had we no,
heard it directly from the owner Of the
dog, and it illustrates the intelligence
and reason of the dog better than any
anecdote we ever heard.
One word more and we are done. 1t
lis perhaps no more than common jas
lice to the reader that we should state
that we afterwards learned that the man
who told us that story-lied, anil that
he never owned dog in his life. Still,
if it had been true it would have been
a beautiful illustration of canine INTEL
igence.-BcJast Journal.

will Lime Destroy Sorrei!

Not always and not generally. Many
people think otherwise. The theory is
that sorrel naturally grows in sour soil
and as the lime has u tendency to sweet

Sorrel. we doubt not, is most frequent
ly to be found growing in sour soil, but
we know that it makes its appearance
almost upon any kind of SOL that hos

also know that lime is not always

where lime has been applied literally, it
has failed to make an impression upon
it, II any of our farmers have expert
ence in this matter, we shall be obliged

Radical excess,
$2I6.699.IO7


Or sixteen millions of dollars more
than double the amount collected by the
Democrats in FOUR YEARS were ilch-
ed from the pockets of the people by
the Radicals in TWO YEARS. The
tariff taxes under one year of Grant
1S70-7l-exceed the aggregate of Buch-
anan's four years, t,centy -ttco millions Of
dollars!
Nor is this all The two hundred and
six millions of tariff tax collected last
year by Grants Office holders does not
begin to show the iniquities of the Rad
ical system of tariff taxation. That eX-
hibit shows plainly the amount of money
paid into the treasury, but gives no idea
of the further amount eXtorted from the
people under the 50 called "prctective
SYSTEM" which shuts out foreign compe-
tition. What that amount is can only
be arrived at approximately; bat the
New York Evening Post, a high Repuh
iican authority, asserts that the tariff du,
ties on articles which are made in the
United States yield a revenue of less
than seventy-Eve millions, while ndding
to the prices paid by consumers IN this
country three hundred millions.
Take the single article of iron as an
illustration. In 1868 there were con-
sumed in this country 1,654,0O0 tons of
pig iron. The duty was 50 gold ton,
and to this extent the tariff put mp the
price Thus the people in 1868 paid
Sl4,SS6, 900 gold, added to the wholesale
price on the iron they consumed. But
as there were only little over $4,000
tons of pig iron imported, the Govern
ment received but S744300 in duties,
while the residue of the enhanced price.
over fourteen millions Of dollars, went
into the pockets of the iron lords. On
every t,centy dollars paid by the people
on the increased cost of iron, one dollar
went to the Government, and nineteen
dollars to The Pennsylvania iron masters
1t is the same way on hundreds of arti-
cles that might he enumerated On cot
ton fabrics the Government received 49,
100000 in duties. while the protected"
industries realized S92,450,000; on
woolens the Government received $685.

Character is Power.

1t is often said that knowledge is
power, and this is true Skill or facul-
ty OF any kind carries with it superior
ity. So, to a certain extent, wealth is
power, and genius has a transcendant
gift of mastery over men Hut higher,
purer, better than all, more cons tant in
its influence, more lastin g in its sway. is
the character-that power which emin
ates from pure and lofty mind.
Take anv community, who is the man
of most influence? To whom DO all
look up with reverence2 Not the smart
est man, not the cleverest politician, nor
the most brilliant taIkcr, but he who in
long course OF years, tried by the ex.
tremes of prosperity and adversely, has
proved himself TO the judgment of his
neighbors, and all who have seen his
life, as worthy to be called wise and
good
