Bonny Hand. Tim, Make Good Hrc.a

own the charms Of rounded arms,
OF eyes that loves soft luster shed,
or raven hair. and tresses fair,
ofeheeks that coy with white and red;
or Pouting lips where Cupid dips
The arrows that to hearts are sped;
Yet, none Of these my fancy please
Like the bonny hands that make good bread.
Some hands have art to move the heart,
by waking musie's sweet appeal;
Some borrow dyes from perfect skies,
And, throsgh the canvas, make us feel;
some make tho dress fair forms carcss
To win the heart aad turn the head;
For me, more rare beyond compare
Are the bonny hands that make coed bread.
Gay maiden, vain the rustling train,
These jeweled hands so idly crossed.
That idler mind can pleasure End

Your jewels shine. your looks are fine,
But I'll not seek, wheue'cr we'd,

might claim certain respect, 1t good taste
and good breeding were left out of the ac-
count; and then the maligned party might
be supposed to be on an equal footing, free
to retort by the same means, if he desired.
Bat the case is entirely different, when
the medium which Mr.. Mitchell makes use
of, to SANDER or even censure another, is
the one that he asks the public to maintain
in existence, for other purposes, by paying
him at least its full value. Here much
more than question of taste or manners is
involved. If it is not cowardice, it is at
least very unmanly disregard of fair play,
that would impel an editor to take advan-
tage of the opportunities Of his occupation,
as against people who are not so fortunate
as to be likewise engaged in publishing
newspaper, and who therefore have not APP
propriate weapons of defence, even though
they may be expert at, and inclined to,
pen-and-in warfare.
We are moved to these remarks, by OBJ
serving in the Duluth Daily 7'riJuue of the
Both alt, a scurrilous and abusive article on
Mr.. Peter f. Bradshaw, well known and
respectable resident of Superior. The al
legged offence Of Mr. Bradshaw, is that he
declares, as the Tribune understands"
that he would not buy his supplies in Du-
luth even if he could purchase them there
twenty per cent cheaper than in ST. Paul.
Whether Mr.. Bradshaw SO stated or not,
we don't know; we have not inquired.
We have taken this liberty with his name
without his permission or knowledge,
though he is abundantly able to maintain
his good character here or elsewhere with
out our intervention. But there is nothing
in the words imputed to him, to excuse the
I'ribune's low and impertinent abuse. The
editor of that journal apparently has yet to
learn, that man does not, by the mere act
or practice Of publishing a newspaper, be-
come qualified public censor, authorized
to sit in Judgment upon, and publicly repro
bate every word or deed Of private individ-
uals, uttered or done in private capacity,
even though the same may fall short of the
editorial standard OF propriety.
Assuredly, if Mr. MtchelPs animadver
sions on Mr.. Bradshaw, had been spoken
merely, and not printed i'll public news
paper, we should have avoided all refer
ence to the matter here.

Robert C. Mitchell publishes newspa-
per at Duluth, for which he charges each
subscriber seven dollars per year. If in
stead of depending on the public as he does,
for the means of prosecuting his business,
he was editing printed sheets entirely at
his own expense, for his own personal de-
lectation, and not for the market, he might
be permitted, perhaps, in this free country,
to publish in that manner, whatever his ca
price or malice might prompt, about any
private individual, subject always to the
restraints of the law.

A Fearful Tempe rance Lecture.

From the police items of the New
York Tribune We take the following, on
which comment is unnecessary, it being
III accordanc with principles often
enough enumerated in our columns:
Among the names registered at the
Tunbs the other night was thar of a
youth. about fifteen years, whu had been
arrested for drunk enness. But he Was
not drunk. nor had he been drinking
He was, moreover.in good. sound health.
but gave all the external signs of being
intoxicated when arrested by police of
flcer. Upon protesting TO the keeper of
he Tombs that he was not intoxicated
1t was ascertained that the unfortunate
youth had been born a natural drunk
ard, or, rather. tina. he had always acted
like such a thing. He said that al
though in good health. he had never
been able to walk without staggering.
His speech Was not unlike that of a per-
sou in a decided state of intoxicatiou
and when excited he would mutter and
reel The unfortunate youth was de-
tanned until the next day, and was sent
to the courts through judicial spectacle-.
subsequent In. estlgation of the case
proved mat the lad had been telling the
truth about himself; but his condition
revealed demonstration of the natural
laws that the child is fair copy of his
parents. Ii appears that prior to the
marriage the father had been a secret
but confirmed inehriate, and when the
facts become known to the woman thus
suddenly and Unexpectedly, she wept in
the most terrible manner. Almost bro.
ken hearted, she contemplated the fu-
ture misery In store for her Months
passed away, when it Was discovered
that the child at three years acted
strangely, and at the end of six IN nths
the unhappy woman fully realized all
her forebodings. The effect produced
upon the mother was not without its in.
