TO A FRIEND.
RY G.. +. L. HOTH.

Happiness to some comes cheaply,
Some are happy all their life,
Naught disturbs them; they are happy
Though the world were full of strife.
Fill their stomachs, clothe their bodies
And their faces are serene.
Such life may do for babies,
But for men, think it mean.
Are we men, and yet lie idly
On our oars, because the fish
We have caught are quite sufficient
To max us a savory dish.
O, for shame, think of thy neighbor,
Look around, say, do you find
Anything in nature idle;
Then wake, too, thy sluggish mind.
Blow the fire while there's yet fuel,
Embers melt, but lead or link,
Who'd enjoy his bread and Cruel,
When his neighbor nectar drink.
Up, and rouse thee, then, my hearty,
Up and work, strive like a man,
Ev'ry man is bound in duty
To advance, while yet he can.

BEET SuGAR.-The Alvorado Beet Sugar
Company have commenced to dig their beets
and on Thursday of last week their mill VIZ :
started on the beet sugar Of the season. The
supply of beets (says the AHa), will come
from five hundred acres, supposed to amount
to 5000 tons (or sixteen tons to the acre)
and to produce probably 1,125 600 pounds
Of sugar, or 2, 250 pounds to the acre. 1t
is estimated that the beets will yield eight
per cent, or 100 pounds of sugar to the ton.
The juice has been tested, and has been
found unusually rich in saccharinc matter
rumor says some tests went up to fifteen per
cent. The crop is light on some of the higher
land, but is unusually good in quality. The
yield of beet sugar last year was 100000
pounds, so this year will show an increase of
more than one hundred per cent. Consider
able additions have been made to the mill
since March last, including new boiler, a
new evaporator, two new filters, two new
centrfugas, and bone-coal furnace The
capacity is now sixty tons per day, so that
5000 tons will keep the mill going about
five months. The remainder of the year
will probably be devoted to the refining OF
imported sugar. Since the 10Th of April
last, 600 tons have been refined. While
the work was novel it went slowly, but it
reached ten tons per day before the end of
the season.

In England the wheat harvest is not up
to the average yield of the last three or four
years, though the fine weather for the week
preceding September I'd, has done much to
compensate for the injury previously sus-
tanned. There are complaints of disease
among the potatoes. The reports favor the

and Of all teachers, either for good or evil ,
there is none like the mother Her conduct

words are the seed falling upon the virgin

she may add to them that virtue without

develope, in their strongest growth, such
power as he does possess; TO teach him the
value Of industry, system and perseverance;
above all, to imbuc him with love TO God
and love to man. 50 that if he be not fitted

charitable to the poor, true to bis friends,

DOMESTIC TROUBLES IN WYOMING.

There is an amusing story growing ont of
the operations Of the Wyoming Fem, le Suf-
frage Act. After the law went in effect
the first action taken under it was the ap-
pointmcnt by the Secretary, as the Acting
Governor, Of Mrs. Esther Morris of South
Pass City as IL Justice of the Peace for
Sweetwater county. Mrs. Morris qualified,
"reInitted the usual fee Of five dollars to
the Secretary, and entered upon the duties
Of her Office. Nothing unusual occurred for
some days; everybody was satisfied with the
new Justice, and the new Justice with
everybody. One day, however The wine Of
bitterness was mixed in her cup of bliss, and
Notwithstanding her womanly and wilely
feelings, she was compelled to drink it. Her
better half, who was now left in charge of
the domestic department of the firm, had,
previous to bis retirement to the sweets of
domestic life, occasionally taken a social
glass with his friends. One day some Of
his friends, relishing joke, frozc to him,
and in the course of few hours left him in
state of beastly intoxication. They then
lodged a complaint against him, and he was
brought before Her Honor, bis wife, to an
swer to the charge Of ''drunk and disorder
ly." Morris, aiicctionatcly drunk, and not
exactly understanding what his wife was do
ing in court, addressed her with pet names,
and requested her to go home and attend TO
the baby that he had left there III a half
starving condition. The only response to
this was an order for his committal to prison
for contempt of court. lie expcsluated,
wanted things explained, and finally started
for the door in disgust, but he was seized by
an officer and taken to prison. The next
morning lie was brought before Her Honor
and fined. Morris now takes care of the
baby without complaint, and behaves himself
just as a husband should--in Wyoming.

her many trials. One by one their cat

nothing for her to work upon, and the
one COW that was left belonged TO a

Henry Ward Beecher says i'm the
Christian Union of this week: ''The
Orange societies should parade next
year without n banner less or one in
scriptiOn rubbed out. They should not
do it on an implied promise that, if pro-
tected for once, they will then do it no
more. They ought to move through
the streets of New York until nobody
thinks of molesting them. When that
time arrives, it will be an attempt of no
public Importance whether the annual
procession is kept up or not. Butas long
as dog wags his tongue against an
Orangemen's procession, ora bewildered
magistrate forgets his duty toward them,
the public good requires their continu-
anee. If the Orangemen of New York
do not next year march through the
streets of the city, they will betray a
sacred duty. By accident they have be-
come representatives of principle
which lies at the foundation of modern
civilization. They do not now represent
spent fact in history, but a living
principle. 1t is not the Battle of the
Boyne i'm Ireland, but the question of
liberty in New York.

WE. THE PEOPLE.
ANONYMOUS.

We. the People, is a phrase declared
In laws and bylaws that govern
The million. Who are the peoplee
Is Heaven kind to man alone, that
He should represent the PeOplee
Force first made conquest;
Zeal, then, not charity,
Has been our guide.
Are we not OF the people one
Or is il the Divine decree
That man alone should be made free? q?
Where, alas is charitys
Woman's sphere cannot find
sTis in the regimen OF mind
In JOY and gladness, noise and strife
In all that appertains to life
Is wOman's sphere.
In ieids Of literature and art,
She ne'er has failed TO take her part,
In all life's avenues tits not uncommon
To find the kindly care OF woman.
In exalted stations,
All bright with gems oflight;
In the humble cottage
With scarce the widows mite;
In dungeons dark and dreary:
In the prisons gloomy cell,
Where Ignorance hath cast her
All this we know full well.
"We, the People" should not be said
TIL men by truth alone are led,
Half the people, this claim,
Have now no power, voice or aim.
With attributes that God designed
To sOOthe and cheer and bless our kind
Half Of all that's good and great
Have yet no voice in Church or state.

FANNY WRIGUT-ColOnel Forney
says: Prominent among my own rec
objections was the versatile Frances
Wright, or Madame Frances darius

Wright" an English woman, who first
visited this country i'm 1918, 1920 and
1925, and died in Cincinnati, on the 2d
of December, 1852, aged fifty-seven. She
excited much comment, by her leveling
doctrines and her eXtravagant language.
But she had many followers and coad-
tutors, among them the still living
Robert Dale Owen. The well known
Amos Gilbert wrote n memoir of her i'm
lS25, three Years after her death, enti-
tied, "rhe Pioneer Woman, or the
Cause of woman's Rights" She was "A
person of immense energy and uncom-
mon versatility. The list of her works
is something unusal. She wrote a trag-
edy called "AltOrf," i'm 1919; "Views OF
Society and Manners i'm America -
which ran through four editions, and
was translated into French, published
in 1920, and republished, with alterna-
tions and additions, in 1871 and 1922;
"a Few Days in Athens" being q
translation of Greek manuscript found
in Herculaneum, and defense of the
epicurean philosophy, published in
London in 1S22, and republished in Bos-
ton the same year.
These Were followed by a course OF
popular lectures, spoken i'm all the
leading cities north, west and south, and
printed for circulation and running
through six editions. She was also the
author, i'm Company with Robert Dale
Owen, of certain popular tracts, and i'm
ls4 her biography was published in
England, including her notes and DO
litical letters. / shall always remember
the effect produced by the lectures OF
this indefatigable and really gifted
woman, as she travelled through Penn
sylvania, many years ago. Contro-
verted and attacked by the clergy and
the press, she maintained an undaunted
front, and persevered to the last.

the case carefully, looked at the patients 5

boy to build up hot fire. When that
was done the doctor told them to take
the boy and hold over the fire until the
kernel got hot enough to 'pop out"

shot gun, but while he was loading 1t
the doctor escaped. He had a diploma,
though, from philadelphia college, and
said he had cured lots of cases in that
way.
