WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE TOO
POOR TO TAKE THE HERALD

Silver spoons are used to scrape- ket'
ties.
Coffee, tea, pepper, and sdices, are
left to stand open and lose their
strength.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until the po-
tatoes become worthless.
Brooms are never hung up, and are
soon spoiled.
Nice handled knives are thrown into
hot water.
Thefour is sifted in a wasteful man.
ner, and the bread-pan is left with the
dough sticking to it.
Clothes are left on the line to whip
to pieces in the wind.
Tubs and barrels are left in the sun
to dry and fall apart.
Dried fruits are not taken care of in
season, and become wormy.
Rags, strings and paper are thrown
into the fire.
Pork spoils for the want Of salt, and
beef because the brine wants scalding.
Bits of meat, vegetables, bread and
cold pudding are thrown away when il
might be warmed. steamed and served
as good as new.

Mr.. FosT, of Illinois, offered a reso,
luton in Congress on the 18th inst,
providing that all appointments to sub.
ordinate positions in the House of Rep.
resentatives, wounded Union soldiers
should be preferred. The Republican:
supported this measure; but it is evi
dent that they only did it as a piece o.
buncomb, as poor wounded Union sol
dies were almost wholly ignored and
neglected when they had large ma
jerity in both houses. The resolution
was referred to the committee on &C,
counts.
