man who has not lost his faith in divine

f0The organs of the money kings,
like the New York World and others, are
sore distressed Mt the financial plank in
the Ohio Democratic platform, the gist
ofwhich is the demand that greenbacks
shall be the only paper currency; that
the government shall issue enough to
supply the wants of trade, and that a
system of free banking based upon the

The Ohio democracy are right. Their
platform is intended to relieve the agri-
cultural and laboring interests of the
country and break the shackles imposed

Ia Kingwood. the present County
Seat of Preston, was named by the ear
ly emigrants travelling West along the

TURNIPs AND CoRN.-A Westchester
county IN. W farmer is in the habit OF
sowing yellow Aberdeen turnips among
his corn at the last passage OF the culti-
vator, when the plants are about five feet
in height. The turnips do not make
much growth until the corn is cut, after
which they swell rapidly. The cost Is
nothing except for seed and harvesting.
and corn, being already cut, is not in
jured when the turnips are gathered in.
From one to four hundred bushels OF
turnips per acre have been thus obtain

GET CLOSER ToGETHER.--Two men
met who at first sight hated each other.
There was n mutual responsiveness be-
tween them. Neither would ever con-
sent TO be introduced TO the other, or
remain in his company under any cir.
cumstances. Both ate ut the same table
where perhaps twenty others dincd. but
they were always at opposite ends. At
some fancied grievance, one day. one
threw dish at the others head. and It
required the interposition Of friends TO
prevent what would have otherwise boon
q tragical scene. Things went this way
for months, the hatred Of each growing
more intense, and must have eliminated
i'm serious trouble TO both if continued
much longer Crcumstan ccs, however,
threw them together in such way one
day rs to compel them TO recognize each
other. Immediately the scales of pre-.
judice fell from their eyes. and each saw
in the other what always had existed
congenal spirit--and they became ever
after, and arc to this day, firm and true
friends
Thus it is that we so frequently find
men opposed 90 each other with no suf-
fcicut reason-simply blinded by preju-
dice. There is magic in the contact of
human bodies. The closer you get the
better you sec tho good qualities ofyour
fellow.men. But stand Off at distance,
and like the man who mistook his broth
er for robber in tho gloom ofthc even
ing, your fancy is invested with every
imaginable evil with regard to him.
Come closer.

SOAR M,KINe.--A gentleman In the
Cincinnati Gazette says: After the faini-
~ supply OF soap has been made in the
spring, the grease that accumulates and
is laid aside during the summer often
gets 'maegoty." To avoid this. the fol-
lowing is good plan: Have kettle full
of I've and throw all bacon rinds, ETC.,
into this kettle. And when fall comes
you will be surprised at the nice lot OF
soap you have. And even il n rat falls
in. he will be changed into soap just
the same.
