which claim arc facts, established by Nature
herself, and, as such absolute and Interchangeable.
Let who can rofuse them:
!. Man has natural tendency to lay q claim
to ANYTHING he desiros.
2. Man tries to enforce his claim against any
rival claimants, by the exercise Of his natural
faculties; i. g., by his "power."
3. Man succeeds in the contest ensuing in cs-
tablishing his claim by his superiority in power,
which gives him the victory in the struggle
against his rivals.
4. Man enters into truce With his fellows and
rivals, which stpulates the way and manner how
every one OF them shau enjoy what he has
gained By lis power.
S. Tho terms of this truce form the "copsti-
tuition Of society"
E And the benefits each single member enjoys
under these terms are his rights"
From which conclude:
Z. That only those who have "hghting
power are able to euter into the terms Of truce
called the ~ consultation OF society" ~ inde-
ponGent mcmberH.
S. That only the Independent members have
rights by virtue OF their own power.
.. That all who have no ''dghting power"
have no rights Of themselves, but are dependera |
(do facto), for whatever rights society-oom- |
posed OF the Independent n1ombozs-may be
pleased to bestow upon them On 'the grace of |

On one great interest OF the State intent,
Do your most honorable body pray

To protect our sheepfods from destruction dire,
And ravenuus dogs with wholesome dread In

Which, it his muster pay in good greenbacls

The argument is plain in such a case.
The sheep is useful from York to lstamboul
The human race seek rainent in his wool;
In blankets, soft and warm, man takes his rest,
And costly carpets by his feet are press'd

And every portion used for human good.

And all that man from inspiration draws,
In sheep or calf may be securely bound,
In sheep the Statues Of the State are found;
But villa. Of dog What article OF dress
Does dog supply Can human tongue express
The loathsome horror Of a dog ragout,
A puppy pie, or fricasee or stew
What man so bold so reckless as TO dare
To put Longfellow, Bryant--nor do ! care
To add Bret Harte-in binding Of dogskin?
Would it not be TIE objectionable sin
And who the indignity would perpetraie
To subject gieat Blackstone 10 such Il fate /?
Just think Of Shakespeare, glorious, wondrous

Mrs. Biggs went down toSalem to spend

began with "My dearest" and ended
with "Your loving Amelia One of the

all this, she uttered fearful scream and
tainted away. Upon reviving she put
the letter in her pocket, and determined
to leave the house forever She packed
her trunk, and put on her bonnet, and
then as it was nearly time for Briggs to
come home, she concluded to wait and
have it out with him. When he came
in the front door she was sitting on the

aud read it. Then he said:
Upon my word. Maria, you are

How dare you insult me, you brute
Do you call it a small matter to DO send
ing diamonds to that woman. and to have
her write you scandalous letters, in which
she calls you her darling? Oh, it's In

The letter isn't for mo. It's for
Biggs. 1t is from bis wife; you don't
know what you're talking about
Then Mrs Briggs. after examining
the letter again, flew into Briggs arms
and cried some more. Then he carried
her trunk up stairs for her, and she took
off her things and sat down to reflect up-
on the fact that she had made fool Of
