Debt and Dishonesty.

One who is anxious to discover the
causes and remedies for the prevailing
lack of honesty, traces the latter to
the credit system as we'll as the fnan.
cial calamities now upon US. A thous-
and honest men are put at the mercy
of single dishonest man to pay his
debts. If the one pockets his money
and refuses to pay, he depriyes thous-
and who are anxious to do so. The
best way to get capital, is to work for
it. Work for wages till you have mon
ey Of your own. To use another's
capital, if you lose it you must replace
it. When a man finds he owes more
than he can pay, he begins to inquire
how he can get rid OF his debt. If all
he has will not pay all he owes, then
less than all, he thinks, will pay a
part, and he hides a portion, or all,
from creditors. Learn to make mon
ey year before you spend it, then you
will buy less and buy cheaper. Other
things being equal, dishonesty prevails
in proportion to the facilities for es-
Gaping obligations. The wise man
has said that the borrower is SER
want to the lender" and he ought TO
be till he returns what he has borrow
ed. When one has had the benefit of
another's labor, property, person, skill,
and all, are bound for the equivalent.
The ancient Roman and Jewish codes
held that mans life and labor should
be bound for his debts. This may ap-
pear, and sometimes is, severe; but
strict justice saws, "What doth the
Lord thy God require of thee but to
do justly" "Owe no man anything"
if you can help it; but if you do,
place what you have at the disposal of
your creditor till it is paid.-[New

And at the same moment the presents espied.
Then out OF their beds they sprang with bound

We bought new dog this spring,
but the speculation was not thorough
ly successful. The man who brought
him around turned him lose in the
yard, and then left. When we went
out to get acquainted with him he was
engaged in exploring the slop-bucket
with his nose, and as we approached
he merely glanced around and growled.
We attempted to pat him on the head,
and then he suddenly dropped
mouthful Of meat, and took three or
four earnest snaps at our hand and
leg. We were afraid somebody would
steal him, so we enticed him that
evening into the kitchen with bone,
and locked him in. He scratched the
door and howled all night, and break
fast was late in the morning because
he wouldn't let the hired girl come in
to the kitchen. When we got him into
the yard, we found that he had upset
the bread that was rising, and had
knocked eight plates of of the dresser,
during his nocturnal skirmishes. The
next evening we felt as If we would
prefer that somebody would steal him,
and we locked him out. He amused
himself that night scratching at the
door tc get in, and bowling. He can
howl more efectually than any other
dog we ever met. You would have
thought we had menagerie in the
yard, if you could have heard him.
That day ne killed the pet cat, belong
ing to Smith next door, and removed
a couple OF mouthfuls from the leg OF
Chubb's BOY, who came over into our
ward after his ball. Then he tore one
OF the sheets from the clothes-line,
and gamboled with it until it was re-
duced to rags. When the ash.man
came, in the afternoon, he had a dog,
and our dog after few sociable sniiiS
organized a combat with the ash-man's
dog. and they rolled over and over a.
mong our tulips and hyacinths for half
an hour, taking nips out Of each other
and scattering hair about by the hand
full. On towards evening he had fit
on a pillow case which was bleaching
on the grass plat; and just as we were
sitting down to tea policeman arrived
with warrant, sworn out by Chubb,
for our arrest for keeping a ferocious
animal upon our premises. We went
around and paid the fine; and that
night our house was robbed, and the
dog kept perfectly still till morning,
although we bought him for the very
purpose OF soaring Off burglars. Any
body who wants to buy dog, may
have ours cheap. we will sell him at
sacrifice.

THE ELECTIONs, no. .M0RRew.

The elections in Pennsylvania Ohio, and Iowa
take place tomorrow. The first has only tc
choose Judge of the Supreme Court and
State Treasurer, but in Ohio and Iowa, Cover
nor and other officers will be elected
The canvass has been exceedingly quiet in all
these States but especially so in Pennsylvania.
The echoes Of the conflict are usually audible
over the State line, awaking about as much in
terest in Delaware as on the actual field of strug.
gle, but this year, we hardly understand that al
election is st hand. In spite Of this quiet can
vass, however, which used to be unfavorable for
Republican success, there will be, no doubt, a
decisive majority for that party. The apathy is
greater, among the Democracy, than in the ranks
of our friends, and the weakness of the former
was never so apparent in Pennsylvania as at pre-
sont.
In Ohio, the success of the Republican State
ticket is expected, by good majority, but the
result in the Legislature will be close The
choice of United States Senator (the term Of
Mr. Thurman expiring) depends upon the re-
suit, and the contest is warm one. Last year
the Republicans had nine majority on joint bal
lot.
In Iowa all the elements of opposition have
been gathered up to make a ticket against the
Republicans but it's chance of success is little, if
any, better than that usually enjoyed by straight
Democratic ticket. The Republican candidates
will no doubt be elected by large majority.

been the most successful held by the Society fol
many years, and the display of stock and imple-

it was, as it should be- duly appreciated. The
