KEEPING THE SABBATH.-Tba

pleasant recOlectiOns, or sitting

a sin for a man to kiss. his wife

The true Principals of Taxation.

Tax is the price which a man
pays for civilized government.
The exchange is fair, the bar
gain is equitable. He pays a
price for protection in life and
property. If is his duty to pay
that tax; it is the Governments
duty to give that protection.
No man is honest who shirks
the payment of a just tax inn
posed to pay the Legitimate ex-
penseS of the Governmet. No
Government is honest which
imposes a tax for any other
than its necessary and legiti-
mate expenses. In a republic
can or democratic form of Gov
eminent there is no power of
taxation save that which is
conferred by the people them
selves, because a mans pro-
perty is his own by the law of
nature, enacted by natures
God. He cannot be justly
dispossessed of it save by his
own act. An honest Govern
ment confines its expenses to le-
gitimate objects; it does not
seek to raise money and use it
for the benefit of placement.
1t does not create offices, that
officers may enjoy their emolu-
ments. The Government that
does this-and all our Govern
ments do it's dishonest,
They are frauds upon the PEG,
pie. Let every Office for which
there is not a necessary duty be
abolished, and let expenditures
be confined to Legitimate pur.
poses. Then shall we have a
cheap Government, as we once
had,

"Put Money in thy Purse"

This is the advice given by
the lagos of the administration
to the voters of the United
States. The North Carolina
canvassssleaves no room to
doubt that millions of dollars
will be brought into Presiden-
tial campaign 70 corrupt vo-
tiers and secure the triumph of
Grant, and the vile cliques and
rings, who surround him.
Concious of their own unwor-
thiness and the inherent weak
ness of the cause, they have
fallen back upon the potent
influence of their ill-gotten
gains. The millions stolen
from the people are to be
brought to bear for their en-
slavement. But we have con-
fined in the incorruptibility OF
the masses. Thousand may be
bought like cattle in the mar
ket, but the great body of the
people will remain true to hon.
or, duty and country. The
same game has been played
before and the honest masses
have defeated and overthrow
the mOneyed power which
sought to first debauch and
then crush them. We have
faith in the triumph of the
right, but it is we'll that the
people should know what they
have to contend against in this
great contest between the
friends and enemies of homes
ty and good government.

very badly. If it is INDUCED in

vide buildings for the public OF OH
ces free Orient, until new ones
can be erected, to give thirty
acres of ground to put the new
buildings on, and 100000 to

FORTUNE TELLING.-An eX-
change says: Fayetteville, n.
O., is waging legal war upon
clairvOyants, astrologers. sew
enth sons and daughters, and
fortune-tellers generally whom
it Furnishes for obtaining money
under false pretences.
There is no doubt but that
the Sc people are terrible
nuisances, aud sometimes do a
good deal of harm. A married
woman goes to consult one of
the fortune tellers; she cuts the
cards and jabbers away some
thing in the following style:
You've had trouble with your
husband about a dark man, the
dark man loves you, there's a
good deal of scandel, and if
there isn't any cause for it now,
there soon will be. Here you
are, and here's the dark man,
he's following you. Here's
your husband, he's in company,
aud here's a fair lady that he
seems to be following, there's
something between them more
than you know of. Here you
are, and here's water, and
here's the dark man, he's always
near you, can't stay away" and
so on. Now this isn't healthy
talk at all, and is apt to put
bad ideas into a foolish we-
mans head, and very often she
works out her own bad fortune
in the manner first suggested
to her by this card-cutting
fraud.

Carbolic Acid and its Application.

For many years after the introduce
tiOn of cOal-gas as means OF llluml-
nation, the tar was thrown away as a
refuse product which the manufacture
ers were only too glad to get rid Of
Now, however, some Of the most valu-
able and beautiful substances employ
ed in the arts are manufactured from
this apparently filthy material. The
beautiful aniline colors which rival or
excel the famed Tyrian purple in bril-
liancy and beauty; many favorite es-
sences and perfumes; and, last but not
least, the best disinfectant of modern
times -carbolic acid-are all prepared
from coal-tar. The names by which
carbolic acid is known are quite num-
erous. Phenol, phenyl, alcohol, phe-
mic acid, carbolic acid and coal-tar Gre
osote, have all been applied to it, and
chemists do not yet seem to be decided
in regard to the best name for it. Car
collie acid is the name by which it is so
readily confounded with carbonic acid
the name of an entirely different sub
stance. Until quite recently, it was
almost impossible to get the word car
6ozic through a proof-reader's hands
without having the changed to an n,
thus making the worst kind of none
sense of many a valuable paragraph.
But the name has now become com
mon, and is that by which the com
pound under consideration will, in all
probability, continue to be known.
Pure carbolic acid is white crys-
talline substance having a powerful
odor resembling that of creosote OF
smoke. When the solid acid is expos
ed to the air, it absorbs water and be-
comes converted into a liquid. 1t is
soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and
glycerine; its combination with the
latter liquid being one Of the most val
