BUTTER, EGGS AND BLACkGUARD-
IsM.-Week before last we made
casual notice Of a trifiing mistake
made at a neighboring railway station,
which was only worthy the iocAl's'
hasty mention because as related 1t
presented the picture Of an unfortu-
nate New Yorker, well known here,
overwhelmed in the heat Of summer
with forty-two tubs of butter where he
expected one. Through the columns
of the Cedar Post, Mr.. Allen, the sta
ton agent implicated, corrected US in
q very mild and gentlemanly manner,
flor him. but left us in doubt as to
the precise nature of our error. We
asked Mr.. Dean himself what was the
matter with our statement and he re-
piled, You had butter for eggs, that
was ALL" Accordingly, We made it
eggs, next time, in reply to which an
other quiet, pleasant ard inoffensive
letter from the gentlemanly agent"
Mr.. Allen, was published in last
weeks Post, into which note from
Mr.. Dean was introduced in full,
showing that the number, kind and
destination of all the various packages
composing that days shipment were
not given by US with exact correctness;
but also showing that the alleged error
In the receipts existed and that they
were returned next day for correction.
AS we said before, the mistake of the
agent was slight, lit must certainly be
considered SO in that office,) but it
seemed ludicrous and thus brought out
our first and not ill-natured notice-a
small pretext surely land in truth only
o pretext) for the Eruption which fol-
lowed it.
In dismissing the subject, our only
hope is that all disbelievers in tota.
depravity may read Mr.. Aliens COM

comprehend the facts that a man
who m axes claim to respectable Iowa
society wrote them and that sheet
which its publishers say Is designed

I deem it Of the first moment to a
trre plan OF life to give to the acqui-
sition of worldly gear its just posi-
ton, as on important incident, not
the chief object, Of q manly career.
He who has reached his thirt;eth,
foctieth, fiftieth year, yet is still poor
and needy, may possibly have been
kept poor by the unusual burdens or
successive misfortuues but, in the
ubsence OF these, tho nat,lral pre-
sumption is strong that he has been
idle, or luxurious, or dissipated, and
lnisused or neglected his opportuni-
ties. He had no moral right to be-
come a husband and father without
earnestly striving to make i!lat rea-
sorab]e and just provision for the
Legitimate wants Of bis household, in
the absence. Of which the great apos-
tie would regard him as worse than

Bad Influences.

Philosophy teaches that matter
is indestl1'ctihle." Nothing OF mat
terial substance is ever lost, though
it may past through countless forms
and undergo countless changes. Tho
stone crumhles into dl1st, the fruit
monlders to decay, the water eyapo-
rates, the fire dies into ashes but
10 atom Or element Of either can be
destroyed they simply take other
forms or qualities of material life,
In rejecting upon this philosophic
truth we arc impressed with the
thought that il mere material SUBJ
stances are never lost, SO likewise tho
operations Of mind must be i,umor-
tai. 4 bad book, Il wicked sugges-
ton, an innoaest idea, expressed i'll
speech, in writing, i'll print, Or in
pictures, never dies, but exerts it's
evil Influence on the mind and NOR
ais Of individuals and communities.
Hence the injury Of tolerat;ng i'm
moral publications., no matter how
plausib]y the liberty of the press may
be invoked as au apology for them.
Openly indecent books md prints
are, of course, suppressed under tho
law, when they can be reached bat
there ere many publications which
iEsidiously disseminate Immortality,
and are yet beyond the reach Of eth
er statutes or police. Good citizens,
parents and guardians, ought to ex-
ert their authority and example
against bad papers and books of
every description. The very touch
OF these is contamination, their in
duonce is debasing, aud they should
be Stunned as % moral pcstilcnca in
