UNUSED Powers We seldom hear
better sermon on the duty of preparing for
the" bourne wheEce no traveller returns than
Is contained IN the allegory which relates
that man once tell through this world into
the next. There he discovered that we re-
tain those parts of ourselves, aud these on
ly, which We had assiduousiy used here.
Curious was the spectacle presented to his
wondering sight. He saE hundreds of hun
cry looking ears. They were forever con
gregating and hurrying hither and thither.
He was informed that on earth these had
done the hearing of church music and church
sermons had cultivated the listening facul-
ties, and nothing else, so tha, they were now
ears, aud nothing more. He noticed big
stomachs lying about contentedly under fen
ces and trees, and was told that they were
persons who had chiefly used their gastron-
omc powers-who had asSidiously guzzed
at saloons and gormandized at restaurants.
He became interested in some very large
dolls, with complexiOns like wax dolls too,
that appeared to move their eyelldS languid-
ly, and sometimes to cape. These he learn
cd, were what remained of ladies who had
only cultivated good looks On inquiring
for popular preacher, he was conducted to
place full OF ears where lively skeleton,
without a vestige of heart or brain, was still
gesticulatiDg impressiveiy. Upon making
this discovery the man Immediately tele-
graphed earthward as follows: Il find that
powers unused die ou+ that parts neglected
tall away; that we are allowed TO keep only
so much OF ourselves as we use. Lock out
that you do not end as 4 restless ear, as
lazy stomach, or as big bag of wind. -

" Standing Treat" -"

No American custom causes more general
surprise and amusement among travelling
foreigners than that which is known In our
saloons As treating, consisting in the en-
tertainment of two or more with refresh
ments, for which one volunteers to pay. 1t
is a pure Americanism all over the Repub-
lie 1t is as common as in Europe it is un-
known. There is probably no minute of
any day in the year wheGr two or three hun
dred citizens of Chicago are not guzzling
something stronger than water at some
body else s expense.
The casual meeting of two men who have
ever exchanged word together is signal
for both TO exclaim, Come, let's have
something p aud for both to dive down into
the nearest subterranean cavity below the
sidewalk. The one who spoke first usually
insists upon paying the shot" the word
shot being a metaphorical reference TO
the deadly character of the contents usually
taken into the stomach. 1t two old friends
meet, the regular thing to say first is,
= Let's drink to old times - and the resi-
dent must invariably treat" the stranger.
If a man be well acquainted, it is consd-
cred the princely thing to seize upon all his
acquaintapces as often as possible, take
them to saloon and give them a compli-
Gated stand-up drink at the bar
If there Is anything absurder than this
habit We are unable to put our finger on it.
Men do not always 'trcat" one another to
car-tickets because they happen TO meet on
the same seat. We never saw a man take
out his pocket book on encountering an ac-
quaintance, and say, 'Ah, George De
lighted to see you Do take a few post
age stamps! it's my treat - Do men
have mania of plying each others board
bill? and Is drinking together more social
than eating together or sleeping together
4 traveller may go all over the continent
of Europe, of Asia, and of Africa, without
seeing any man except Yankee offer to
treat" and the Frenchmen are quite
social enough, but when they turn into a
cafe 10 sip their wine or branded coffee to-
gether, each uIan pays Tor his own. When
two Germans long separated meet, they will
be very likely to embrace, and then turn in
to an adjacent beer cellar, sit down and
drink lager, eat pretzels, aud chat, but when
they part again, each man settles his own
score independently. So in Italy. The
Italians are proverbialy merry and gsner-
Gus, but each man pays for his own wine,
macaroni. and cigars. They never go into
each others pocket-book in the sacred name
Of friendship. They would as soon think OF
transferring to each other their washer
woman bills.
The prepo>terous fashion of treating
is responsible for the terrible drunkenness in
America. There would be as little need OF
Temperance societies aud as little work for
the Good Tempiars as there is in Germany,
France and Italy, if this pernicious and in
sidious habit was abolished. 1t is, take it
all in all, the most ridiculous. the most un-
reasonable, and the most pestilcnt custom
that ever laid its tyrannical hand on civil
lied human beings.

4 TRUTH FOR PARENTS. The Rev. DR..
Daft remarks: . L am prepared from ex
perience TO say that, in nine cases out of ten,
the boards OF accumulated money given to
children, by whom they were not earned, and
who acquired no habits of industry, or thrift,
or laboriousness, prove, in point of fact,
rather a curse than blessing. | am pre-
pared TO substantiate that as a matter of
fact, not merely from my own Knowledge of
the su beet, but from the statements of men
who have been of watchtul and observaut t
habits, cultivated not only in GrcaS Britain
bu; in America But it is melancholy fact
that so little do parents know of the mass
of misery they are accumu!ating for their
children in heaping up these hordes for
them-so little do they think how big with
misery these hordes are. The remark is
worthy of the best consideration of parents,
aud the truth it inculcates should coustrain
them to use their wealth in doing good, and
not hoard it up to injure their children.

The course of the Democratic majority in
the State Senate in refusing to permit any
investigation into the alleged frauds in the
late election, by which Mr.. Dechert obtained
his seat, is an admission on the part Of that
majority, that such an investigator: if it
had been permitted. would have resulted in
unseating Mr. Dechert.
If this we're not so, there would have been
no obstruction thrown by them in the way
of that Investigation. They would have

Mr.. E1yfOr -
S. J. ROCKWELL.

Mr.. Editor -
have been reading the able report Of the
Superintendent of our Schools. see by the
report, our School Board has been engaged in
the book business for the past year, and the
Superintendent tells us that he has furnished
parents with books at first cost, and that no
one has received a cent for all this extra labor
in handling these books. Now, this Is ex.
tremely generous, so far rs the School Board
is concerned. But what are the facts? / un-
derstand the Board increased the Superin-
tendents salary the past year 500, and that
he has applied for another increase of 500
this year, in consequence of the extra labor
expended in attending the book department
| wish to ask this question: here is the jus
ticc of the rule that furnishes parents with
books at cost and then taxes the people for the
profits 1t is nice thing, grant, to have
books furnished at cost, but when you have to
make those who have no interest in them, pay
for the expense OF handling them, how is it
theny The School Board might just as well
so into the Boots Shoe business; 1t would be
nice thing for those who have small children,
to have their shoes furnished at cost, and let
the tax payer foot the bill for profits. And as
long as the tax payers are disposed to stand
it, whose businiss is it, 1t has only cost this
Incorporated Village of Ashtabula about
$4,000, the past year, to run It's government in
all its various departments, or little over $40
per head for every man, woman and child
within its limits. AS the Dutchman down in
Albany said the other day-"How high ish
datp"
1t seems to me, that ii is high time to look
to this matter Of taxes II little, and see if the
desired results cannot be obtained without
such an expenditure Of the peoples money.
Yours. ,JusTICE
