THE VILLAGE STORE.

Every item of news, from the country all round
At the store in the village can always be foun d
Every article useful and some that are not,
Is here in abundance, it matters not what.
Dry goods and groceries, here can be found,
Hardware and tin, in profusion abound;
Glass ware and china milk pans and jugs,
Tubs, buckets and brooms, paints, oils, and drugs

Laces, ribbons and bonncts and also false hair =;
In short every thing, from pillow to pin,
Can here be procured, if you have but the tin.
On q smoothly worn box, outside of the door,
We often find sitting the boss of the store,
He talks very little, but listens to all,
Always prompt and obliging to a customers call
He thinks great DEAL but has little tosay,
Except on occasions, when talking will pay.
Sometimes to George heiwill say, when at leisure
Be careful, my boy, in your weight and your mca
sure;
In making your change make no mistake;
The profits, you know, are quite small that We
make.
Here meet the wise men, and some who are not
TO decide any question, it matters not what
Here questions of law, and politics, too,
With all their divisions, are fully gone through
They have lately decided who will next rule the
land,
And you shortly will see, their decision will stand
After a lengthy discussion, they decided CIR -
more competent man, than the other by far.

Speech from our Next President Horace
Greeley ai Pittsburgh.
POIITICAL.

Horace Greeley was met at the depot
at Pttsburg by a large torchlight pro
cession. He was escorted to the st.
Charles Hotel where he delivered from
the balcony the following address:
FELLow-C CrrIzENs: The wise King
says, "Thero is time for war and Il
time for peace" The City of Pitts
burgh has recently witnessed rehearsal
of the pomp aud pageantry, the blazon-
r., and the circumstance of civil war.
4 very large number Of men were col
lccted ut vast expense, with the single
purpose of rekindling the bitterness
and hatred, the animOsity and antlpa..
thics, the fears and exultatlons OF clyll
war, for the advantage of political
party. ] take it, your journals of Pitts
burgh, as well as the orators on tins oc-
casion, have been trying their best to
make us--ths people--hate each othor
for partisan advantage. y stranger
would imagine, who was reading the
Journals of Pittsburgh for the last few
days, that we were still at war. and that
their purpose was to revive and eXasper-
ate the hatred and animosity of civil
war in order to intensity and invigorate
their side of the conflict. They talk
about "rcbels and traitors Fellow
citizens, are we never to be done with
this? We demanded of our adyersaries
in he-great war that they surrender
their arms and go to their homes. They
surrendered them. We demanded that
they cnfranchise the blacks, and the
blacks are now enfranchised. none but
white men now stand disfranchised or
the soil of our country. We demanded
that they stipulate that the emancipa
ted slaves shall not be paid for, and that
the rebel debt shall never be paid by
the Government or the States, and they
assented to that So far rs | can see,
every demand made on the part of the
loyal States and loyal party has been
complied with by those lately in rebel

Can't Afford to Marry.
BY HOWARD CROSBY, +. D.

1t is u common and startling re.
mark nowadays that young mon can
not afford to marry. If only the
rich can take to themselves wives,
not only will the race dwindle, but
it will dwindIe through vicious chan
nels. | am inclined to think that
the aphorism is Santanic, and there
fore y lie. | do not believe young
men cannot afford to marry, any
more than that they could afford to
marry fifty or hundred years ago.
| believe that society, with all its in
genuity in tho devils service, cannot
so order things as to prevent the
honest union Of young man and
maiden and happy married life.
God has not constituted marriage
as the normal condition Of humani-
ty, and then rendered the condition
IN impossibility to tho mass Of man
kind. The order to Noah's posteli.
ty, "Be fruitful and multiply" was
no special appointment Of the rich
as the inhelitors Of the earth. God
has no respect for persons, and if it
wcro possible to conceive of partial
ity in God, we should say that He
leaned to the side of the poor. The
Scriptures take it for granted that
every man has wife and every wo-
man has u husband, crccils crciJG-
cndis, Any idea that resists this
sexual symmetry is pcrvcrso and
pcstiferous.
| have seen very many cases of
the supposed cant-qHord io.moryy
disease, and examined many, and
always found the symptoms to prove
another complaint altogether. The
diagnosis had been utterly false. 1t
was dont.w0nt.t0m0Ty trouble
that was affecting the patient. This
was the story: Formosa has dwelt
in marble halls, and clothed herself
in acres of purple and fine linen.
Marriage with her means twenty
thousand year SO ! look at my
two thousand, and can't GHorH 10
maYU Or the story was this Pull
chra riHhcS to dwell in marble halls,
and clothe herself III acres of pur-
pie and fine linen. Married with
her, therefore, means twenty thous-
and year. 50 | look at my two
thousand, and can't q0ord b m0ryM
Formula wise and truth wise, it is
this: Foolish girls wish to live idle,
pampcrcd, and fashionable lives, and
foolish young men are seeking after
the foolish girls. In such compli-
cation, marriage looscs its meaning;
and it is very natural for a young
man to say, 81 can't afford to mar
ry." The truth is ho cannot afford
to marry after the style aforesaid.
DO not say any more, 81 can't al
ford to marry" Go, find the true
woman, and you can. Throw away
that cigar and burn up that switcn
care, be sensible yourself, and seek
your wife in n sensible way,--ASso-

Successful Apple Growing.

Joshua Jcflrie8 is mentioned by
the PyuHijcdL PldHt'r rs enc Of the
most successful apple growers in
Pennsylvania. His orchard is locat-
cd on n hillside sloping gently to
the south and southwest, is of lime
stone soil, and made fertile by sur
face application Of manure. This
system he has pursued for fifteen
years. Trees, he maintains, should
be fed regularly, not too much, bat
just enough to enable them to main
tain II healthy, moderate, uniform
growth. He applies tho washings
of the roads on his own farm, all the
refuse ashes and those mado in the
nciGhboring lime kilns in burning
lime with wood, and also manure
from the cattle yards. Whenever he
has spare load of fertilizing mat
ter It goes to the orchard. Spread
ing these materials on the surface,
although u green grass sod IS on the
ground al over it, the soil is so mol
low he can kick it up with his foot
the young roots coming to the sur
face, or nearly So, not being more
than an inch or so under it for their
food. There they come in contact
with light, heat, moisture, the I'M
portant clements of plant food.
Trees treated under this system are
healthy, strong and vigorous. Al

Industry of Birds.

Some curious statistics about
small birds have recently been laid
before the lIDuse OF Commons. The
thrush is said to work from $50 in
lhe morning until $50 in the even

time he feeds his young 2OG times.
Blackbirds work seventeen hours.
The male feeds the young Al times
aud the females 81 times per day.
The industrious titmoCse manages
to spread AT meals day before its
voracious offspring. According to
one naturalist, their food consists
largely of catepillars. These state
mcnts, and hundred more quite as
curious, were made in IN eloquent
plea for law to protect small birds
from being shared and shot. I'm
fortunately, although the speech
seems to prove that they arc really
the allies, instead of the enemies OF
the farmer, the old prejudices against
them were strong enough to defeat
the bill.

The Ocean.

iHN VNNNhs
Timitlcss and sublime, Ocean,
rolling his vast waves around this
terrestrial sphere, has ever been re.
gardcd by those prophet eXpoupdors
of nature, the poets, rs inferior only
to the starry heavens in grand sug.
gestiveness. We have seen his placid
face in repose, a boundless mirror
for the bending concavo above, hal.
lowed with n quictu1e 80 soft and
sweet that we forgot to dream OF
any change. Then glittered the
snow-crested pillows with graceful
yet gentle motion, then ocean stars
trembled beneath the surface, and
seemed rocking like sea weeds in the
world of waters below. Nothing in
terrestrial scenery can so influence
the meditative and poetic mind witt
calm, soothing sensation, as this
same gray-beardod and most terri
bic lion of the earth, the mighty
deep, when, casting aside his terrors,
he sleeps the sleep Of tropic eoas.
Deep down under his living waters

didly tinted branches, We are told
by great student of the physical
geography of the sea, that "the col.
oring surpassos everything; deep
green altcrnatcs with brown or ycl.

rcd-brown to tho deepest blue.
Brilliant-rosy, yellow, or peach col

This is indeed q religion where the
genius of u Byron or Il Wilson
might rnvcl, as the former tells of
mermails decking their sea-green
hair with shells, and the latter gloci
iics tropical waters in his "lsle OF
Palms" We too have looked into
the wonder revealing face of ocean
beneath the equator, when vertical
RAYS shot straight down into his ca
pacious bosom, limpid as crystal
silver and golden fish darted past,
clearly seen, as though invisible air
were the only medium separating
them from the eye Of man. The
student Of Scripture might draw on
that inspired source for abundant
and magnificent calculations of the
wonders of ocean, A tithe of such
quotations would establish its claims
to be considered one Of Gods
mighticst works. But we foYbcar.
Let tut the ocean war god sound his
battle march, and 10! the warrior

pose then? Beauty dies out III awe.

stepped very softly to his side, laying a
cold, moist hand upon his brow, and say

The merchant laid down his pen his
head grew dizzy; his stomach felt faint
and sick he left the counting room, went
home, and retired to his bed-chamber.
His unwelcome visitor had followed him,
and now took his place by the bedside
whispering ever and anon:

A cold chill settled on the merchants
heart; spectres of ships, notes, houses, and

his pulse beat slower, his heart heaved
heavily, thick films gathered over his eyes,
his tongue refused to speak. Then the
merchant knew that the name of his visi-
