IS POVERTY A CRIMEA

If it is, then there are many criminals, fol-
many are too poor to live in any sort of decent
comfort.
The standard Of honesty and excellence, in
the minds of many men, is money. Give an
individual plenty of rnoney-fill his barns
full, and exa mine his title papers to broad
acres of land on which no MORTGAGE lies
and what multitude offaults are hidden
beneath things! Wealth hides more sins
than anything else. ''He was o poor, bat an
honest man." All, there it is, 'poor' gel
s'honest," they say, as if the two conditions
were rarely allied. And that's the way the
world feels toward poverty. Crime and pow.
erty 90 hand in hand in the minds OF too
many of us.
I: men would learn to honor and trust each
other for their intrinsic worth-their wealth
of mind and soul-their talent, genius, in
dustry, sobriety, ETC., be he rich or poor and
lower estimate were placed upon each 9TH
er for their wealth of parse ; we would all be
happier, wiser and better. Genius would
oftener be rewarded, and bctter appreciated.

! thousands of other useful and scientific in
ventions which have revolutionized the
whole civilized world but men of severity
who lived in obscurity, and under the ban OF
reproach on account of such poverty It has
ever been thus and, we fear, will continue

INSTINCT OF TURTLES.

Audubon. the naturalist, stated that at &c rtain
places on the coast of Florida, sea turtles, those
huge, stolid-ooking reptiles on which Aldermen
are fed at the expense of tax payers, possess an
extraordinary faculty of finding places. Working
their way up out of the reach of tide water with
heir Aippers, quite deep hole is excavated, in
which batch of eggs are deposited, and then
carefully covered up. On reaching the water,
they not unfrequently swim three hundred miles
out at sea- foraging for appropriate food. When
another batch of eggs are developed, after lapse
of about fourteen days, they will return unerrngy
in direct line, even in the darkest night, and
visit the buried eggs. Removing the sand more
are deposited and secured. Away they 90 'again
as before. They know instinctively the day and
hour when the young brood, incubated by solar
rays will break the shell, and are promptly at the
spot to Hibernate them from their prison. AS soor
as fairly out of the whole the mother turtle leads
| them down the bank to the waves, and there ends
her parental solicitude and maternal duties.

CUTTING TIMOTHY Too CLosE.-A wri
ter in Fair Play,at Fulton, no, says: We
are led to think, that in our dry, hot eli
mate. the Timothy meadows are cut toe
close. This is particularly the case when
the cutting is done with mower, which
is now almost universal. The bulb haV
ing been shaded in the growth by the tai
grass, is suddenly laid bare TO the almost
vertical rays of a burning July and Au-
gust sun, which dries every particle o.
moisture in it !; consequently when the
rains come, the bulb has lost all germi'
mating power. We noticed last year
when small portion of meadow wa
cut with cradle for seed, that the growth
of grass during the fall was far greater
and also, that the timothy is great dea
heavier on that part this season than alon:
side where it was mown close with tn
machine.

not in good taste in the first place, and
then in very few years 1t will be found
to be 50 near q nuisance that you will be
tempted to cut it down but as this would
bring you back to a treeless yard,yoa will
allow it to remain until it completely
overshadows everything else, preventing
even your favorite flowers from half per
fecting their bloom or the green grass
from growing, when at last you are COM
PEELED to remove it and begin anew
Determine when you begin, whether you
will have the green and ever beautiful
grass plat, with few choice plants here
and there, or whether you will devote it
to the more elaborate and artistic flower
parterre, requiring much more time to
dress and keep it, but daily giving out
its profusion of delights, greatly in excess
of what the simple grass plat or the som
Der evergreen can do. You cannot well
have them both in a small door yard, or
if having them, you cannot have them
both in perfection. In all cases let the
extent Of your grounds determine the
varieties and qualities Of the trees and
plants that are to occupy them, and tber
have care that you do not crowd in toc
many large trees.

WHAT A DEMOCRATIC EX-GOVERNOR SAYS.

paper, puts on record the following testimo-
ny; liz
ats days of usefulness gone !"-To use the
exact words ofex-Governor Dewey, a promi
nent radical Democrat. 'The Democratic
Party has outlived it's days Of usefulness -
We should say so, if it has degenerated SO
far as to become the mere vehicle of Tam
many politicians, and endorser of the living
representative of doctrines antagonistic TO
every instinct OF true Democracy.
The first Governor Of Wisconsin, life long
Democrat, says that the party has outlived
its days of usefulness. and staunch Demo-
cratic paper declares that the party is a mere
vehicle of Tammany politicians, but Rere~
gades and sore heads call it reform party.

REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDoWs.-In
experienced painters, when painting win,
dow castings and sashe8, frequently spatter
paint in minute dots over the surface of
many Of the panes, where it is left until
it becomes dry and hard. Neat workmen
always have clean cloth or sponge, which
is dipped in a little spirits of turpentine,
and the paint is rubbed off before it has
dried. After the paint has become dry
and hard, strong scapsuds will not remove
it without vast deal of hard rubbing.
. The most economical way to remove dry
paint from the panes is to make C small
swab having a handle some eight inches
long, dip it in little diluted oxalic acid,
and rub off the paint with the swab.

Having lately arrived home from jour ney West, thought I would write you what little news I heard on my arrival
 There is not much excitement here about politics except among the Demos, who are discussing among themselves whether they can keep Uncle Horace on their stomachs until November, or not. linear, by the way, that late candidate for the Legis- lature, together with another brilliant ta- per of the Democracy, have had their photographs taken in agambling attitude, with their bottles and money before them on the table. They both are for Greeley for President and it is expected that Horace will be presented with a picture of the gamblers. It is also claimed that one of our worthy Justices of the Peace so far forgot his station in life, as to draw g revolver on his much better half, and threaten to blowher through if she should dare to stir one foot all for Gresley for President. Verify, this is n progressive place, and reform is going on nicely under Uncls Hoyacs's baunes. w.
