Doctors are nightly fretted
when patients refuse to follow
their prescriptions. But they
onght not to be. 1t has al
ways seemed to us if we
were a doctor, that we would
delight to have hard-headed,
notionate patients. Nothing
would give us more pleasure
than for the patient to tell us
in the presence of witnesses
that he would not take, for in
stance, mercury in any form,
or oil or quinine. We would
rub our hands in glee, and fe-
licitate eurself on having found
a case where we could freely
experiment. Possibly we might
discover some Alternative fan
superior to calomel, or some
substitute for quinine, and
thereby make both a great
name and a fortune. Ii oul
experiments should fail and
the patient die, we could say
we could have cured him with
calomel and quinine. If the
patient got well, we would &C
off with the honor of having
cured him.

Some very eccentric expressiors

Some very eccentric expressions
were used in the prayers of cl,r.
gymen of the last century. An
Edinburg minister was inclined
to grumble when he prayed, "Gfs
us not evil to think Thee neglect
full of Thine own, for we are Thine
own family, and We have been but
scurvily provided for this long
time.' The following is a speel
men of a baptisInal prayer.
"Lord, bless and preserve this
young calf, that he may grow an
OK, to draw in Christ's plow.n
We wonder whether the munich
pal gallery was occupied when
Mr.. Erskine prayed. thus: "Oh!
Lord, have mercy upon all fools
and idiots, and particularly on the
magistrates of Bdinburg.." Mr..
Dickson once iudulged in the fol.
lowing kitchen garden allegory:
"Dibble thou the kali of Thy grace
into our hearts, and if we grow moi
up to the stature OF good kali,
Lord, make us good sprouts at
least" Another of something in
the same style was the following
"UnleSS our hearts are mucked
with manure of grace VI

Weigh against the one man
power, as if every single indi-
vidual placed at the head of
a government was bound to
be a tyrant, actuated by base
motives. We argue that if
this single individual endeav-
ors by himself to perform all
the executive functions, he
would necessarily act tyrani-
cally from utter inability to
do what he intends, however
good his motives might be.
Enlightenment has made gov
eminent too big a thing to be
directed solely by one man.
Although the Constitution in
vests the president alone with
the whole executive power,
yet custom has subdivided it
among the various heads of
departments, but leaves the
president still responsible for
the whole. This responsible
ty weighs heavily on a con-
scientious man and should be
removed. r a. -u". D..

there is a mutual relief from

The Farmers Movement.

Tho little movement, which took
its rise IN Iowa few months ago.
has spread throughout the land like
a conflagration. Men who looked
upon the matter then as mere
holiday affair, now give to it the
most serious attention, and fearful
bodlngs are accumulating in the
minds of politicians. The move
mont is greatest and strongest in
the most radical of the northern
and Western States. The farmers
persis emily keep aloot from. all
affiliations with outside parties
making their own nominations and
attending to their newly made pol
itics without foreign assistance
One of their late resolutions is
"That we demand the immediate
repeal Of the tariff, not only on
iron, salt and lumber, but on all
articles except those taxed for rev.
enue." A compliance with the
spirit Of this demand would remove
the tariff extortion from nearly two
thousand articles and classes OF
commodities which are now taxed
for the "protection" ofa few Amer.
lean monopolists. The administra.
ton people at Washington are look.
ing at this matter critically, and
may soor expect to see laundering Q
editorials on the subject in their ia
vorite organs. The Farmers
Oranges and the Anti Monopoly
party of the North, may yet work
wonders in the future history oi
