The Spirits Not Good Legal Caunsel


Some thirty years ago man named
Landman squatted upon the island of
Cheniere, on the Gulf coast, being at
the time young and enterprising. By
dint of hard labor he succeeded in
few years in raising one of the finest
orange orchards in Louisiana. Then
he married, took his wife to the island,
where children were born to them,
and a handsome sum of money was
laid by. Sickness followed success,
and one by one death took away the
mans dear ones, till at length he was
left alone with only his wealth and
the graves of those whom he had low
ed. His mind, under the influence of
his bereavement. oaened itself to the
doctrines of s#irltIalisln, and he be-
came a firm believer in the presence
of departed spirits. At this juncture
certain land spectators, taking a
fancy to his property, looked up the
matter of title, and found that Land
man had NO such thing. Then they
went to law to wrest the old man s
possessions from him. He refused to
employ counsel, choosing rather to
rely upon the counsel OF his unseen
friends. and the result was that as a
living lawyer is rather more than a
match for the spirits that visit the
earth, Landman found himself driven
from his home of thirty years. When
the finding and decree of the court
was announced the poor old planter
arose and said: please your honor
there is no redress for me in earthly
courts; therefore appeal my cause to
the higher Court of the third Heav-
ems" The scene was an offecting one

It is rather funny to hear Demo-
Gratis charging that the Republican
party has 'outlived lite useful1 e."
If ever there was political organiza-
tion that not only outlived its useful
ness, but every possibility of useful
ness, it is the Democratic party. For
thirty years before the war it embraced
the worst elements and represented
the worst ideas in American politics.
Its influence was always bad and its
policy always demoralizing. Its
crowning act, the logical conclusion of
its long and disgraceful career, was to
bankrupt the government treasury
and inaugurate the rebellion. BY
every rule Of justice and common
sense, the Democratic party should
have died then. Having rounded off
its achievements with a civil war it
should have passed out of sight and
into oblivion. Why it did not, is one
of the inscrutable things of earth.
During the war it had no employment
but to fight the government, and since
the war it has had none but to fight
the Republican party. During all
those years it has not had we'll
defined principle,,a patriotic purpose
or noble aspiration, and has done
nothing but stand in the way of pro
gress. That it should have survived
this long term of inaction, negation
and disgrace, is simply wonderful, and
that it should now claim to be the
party of reform is a most stupendous
political Joke.

be large enough to accommodate all

possible in time, to make the institu-

House of the Good Shepherds is fine

this work, which is admirable carried
on by the Sisters. They have gener-

About the year 1494 three young
men, natives of Florence, who were
exceedingly intimate and who possess
ed many artistic tastes in common,
conceived the idea OF restoring the an
cient Grecian lyric style of declama-
tion. They persuaded the celebrated
poet, Rinucci, to compose the works
of drama, the subject of which was
the story of Daphne, and this was set
to music by Posi-, the most celebrated
composer of the fifteenth century.
Court Corsi, an admirable musician.
aided him in the undertaking. and the
first performance of the first opera
was played in the palace of that gen
tleman. The actors and singers were
friends of the author, and he himself
took one of the parts The orchestra
of the first opera was composed of
four violins. cythra, a harp, and a
violoncello. There were no airs in
this composition, and it consisted en-
tirely of recitations ACCOMPANIED by
fine harmonies, which were, however.
Judged by the great critic, Ruccllai, to
be very monotonous and tedious.

The lesson is an old one, and
has been thousand times repeated,
that the price of blundering, in
matters of government, is the in
evitable weakening of popular con
fidence, if not the absolute loss of
place and power. Had the Admin
istration at Washington, since the
commencement of the AID Con-
gress, avoided less than q half
dozen blunders, which even ordina-
ry segacity ought to have suggested,
the Republican party had now been
counting its gains instead of it's
losses.
The exposition of corruption and
fraud, something the Democratic
party never had the honesty to do.
has created in the minds Of MANY
q distrust and desire for q change
of leaders, and hence have turned
against the only party that has
ever had the moral courage and
patriotism to correct its own
mistakes. Eaton Register.

There are no distinctions of rank
when people are in need. Here is
one incident of many which pleasantly
illustrates this:
An old Scotchman was taking his
grist to mill in sacks thrown across
the back of his horse, when the ami
NAL stumbled, and the grain fell to
the ground.
He had not strength to raise it, be-
ing an aged man, but he saw a horse
man riding along, and thought he
would appeal to him for help. But
the horseman proved to be the noble
man who lived in the castle hard by,
and the farmer could not muster cour-
age to ask favor of him.
But fortunately the nobleman was a
gentleman also, and, not waiting to be
asked, he quickly dismounted, and
between them they lifted the grain to
the horses back. John-for he was
a gentleman, too-lifted his Kilmar-
mock bonnet, and said:
MY lord, how shall l ever thank
you for your kindness?
Very easily, john" replied the
nobleman. Whenever you see an.
other man in the same plight as you
were in just now, help him. and thai
will be thanking me"

Over work causes great deal of i'll
health in farming communities. Very
many farmers, in their efforts to avoid
and a shame, go to the other extreme,
and loose both health and happiness
thereby.
While industry tends to health.
overwork breaks down the constitu-
ton and shortens life. It Injuries both
the body and mind, and, if long con-
tinued, results in death and prema-
ture old age.
For this sin, and sin it is to over
work, there is not nearly the excuse
on the part Of farmers that there was
twenty years ago. Now they have ma
chimes to take, in a great degree. the
place of hand labor, and the farmer
who will use them need not break
down his health by working too hard.
But it is not the farmer who is most
liable to overwork. The farmers wife
is generally the greatest sufferer.
Every day in the year, Sundays not ex-
cepted, she has much to do. Often as
much is requird of her as two women
ought to perform, AS the result of
his overwork, health is lost, and she
either dies long before her time or
lives to suffer the penalties of the law
she has transgressed. For this course
there is no justification. No woman
ought to work heself to death, and no
man is justified in requiring or allow
| ing his wife to do so. He ought to
furnish her with household machines,
or if her health is poor, either help
her himself or hire girl to help her.
This killing himself and his wife,
which so many farmers do, for the sake
of laying up few dollars, which they
never expect to use, and which they
can not carry with them when they die,
is miserable speculation so far as
| profit is concerned, and sinful and
shameful thing for any one to do.
| Want of sleep is one of the chief
causes of much of the physical and
mental troubles of farmers and their
families. During the busy season,
when the farmer rises at four in the
morning and works till six or seven in
the evening, then eats his supper, does
his chores, and sits up an hour or two
later to read his paper and chat with a

enough to keep body and mind in per-
feet health and vigor. The'evil conse-
quences of this course may not be ap-
parent for many years, hut sooner or
later they will come. The waste of
the brain is not fully made up. Little
by little it decays, and insanity or in
curable disease is the final result oil
using the hours which should be de
voted to sleep for other purposes.
! Farmers wives, who are very often
kept awake at night by the exhaustion
caused by overwork or by the cry.
ing and fretting Of children are the
greatest sufferers, and year by year a
vast number of this class go to the in,
sane asylum or the grave. It is slow
but certain suicide to curtail the
hours of sleep, and no man or womar
or child need expect to continue long
in good sound health without taking
the fullest amount of quiet rest

YMPATHY.
BY MRS. S. NJ. WALSH.

o Omothers, whose children are sleeping,
Thank God by their pillows tonight;
And pray for the mothers now weeping
Der pillows too smooth and too white;
Where bright little heads oft have lain,
And soft little cheeks have been pressed
Oh mothers, who know not this pain,
Take courage to bear all the rest!
For the som bre-winged angel isg going
With pitiless flight DER the land,
And we wake in the morn, never knowing
What He, ere the night, may demand.
Yes, tonight, while our darlings are Sleep
ing,
There's many soft little bed,
Where pillows are moistened with weeping
For the loss of one dear little head.
There are hearts on whose mortal altar
There is nothing but ashes tonight,
There are voices whose tones sadly falter,
And dim eyes that shrink from the light.
oh mothers, whose children are sleeping,
AS We bend to carress the fair heads,
PRAY, pray for the mothers now weeping
Ger pitiful, smooth little beds.
