(COHciUded)
But let me tell you a golden rule 20
follow: Aloc9ys seek the middLe path,
Letirceu the tlco ectTemes. For instance,
we wiIl divide men into three classes:
SpeHdtbrjts,- Hisers and FrUgal lien.
Now, observe, Jack, that the spend
Thrift occupies one extreme, and the
lniserthe other. The happy medium is
the fTugaL man. That position is the
desirable one to hold, and that is what
you and are now. We don't dress in
rags, and starve our stomachs to hoard
up every cent. therefore, we are not
misers. we don't spend every dollar we
earn, and then go begging, borrowing
and stealing from others all we can get,
to spend that, too. Therefore, we are
not spendthrifts. But we save, regular
Iy, our spare money, instead of spending
it for what we do not need. We must,
certainly be frugal men, then. Isit not
so, Jack!
Jdcb-Yes, sir, you are right.
Uncle BeR-Then what have we to be
ashamed Of, Jack:
jack feel better now, sir. l feel
first rate! It's good thing to talk to
you, sir. Tn glad came. God bless
you sir, You don't forget Others, now
that you are rich yourself L hope l
shall be just Ike you, one of these days,
Uncle Ben.
Uncle BeH-Go ahead, Jack, as you
are doing, and you will be better than
am. Already you have done better than
| did in the same space of time. Stick
to your plan, Jack, like n man. Never
mind what people say. You will rise
above all these croakers in the end.
1t is curious fact, Jack, that out of
the three classes men We have named-I
mean misers, spendthrifts and frugal
men-the only one that can see clearly
is the frugal man. I'll tell you why.
The miser can't see the middle point,
neither can the spendthrift, but the fra
gal man can see his own point and the
others, too. 4 miser calls everybody
who does not do as he does Il spend
thrift. And a sPendthritt calls every
body who does not spend as he does, a
miser. But the frugal man, standing in
the golden mean, sees and despises both
the extremes.
So, Jack, comfort yourself that you
are right; for those who are spending
every dollar they Garland calling you
a miser because you won't Go the same
are fast running into that dangerous and
ruinous extreme, which leads on to pow
erty, misery and crime, even if they are
not there this very hour.
But so on, my dear young friend,
saving your spare dollars, and saving
your spare minutes for useful study; and
take the earnest assurance of ''Uncle
Ben" thatyou are steadily rising to hap.
pjReSs, to 3cealti, and to hoRors you do
not dream of.

ENGLISH PAPERS ONTHE OHIO ELEC-
TI0N.

''The Democratic party has suffered
much before now in the hands of such
Gnhationists) leaders, and the subordi-
nation of Mr.. Tilden and other politi-
ticians of the same quality to their West
ern rivals would be a calamity to the
public life of the United States. But
there is no longer any fear. London
Times.
1.-THE Ohio election has killed 1nha-
tion,' and has shown that the American
people will not submit to saeredotal-
ism. London Telegraph.
'If Ohio had been successful, the
Democratic party would have been in
great danger of being rent asuDder,
whereas now the hard money section
must be regarded as master Of the posi-
ton, and may lead the whole party back
to its traditional principles on the sub
jeet of the currency. London Netcs.
"Of whatever conventional party
stripe the next President may be, it
seems at least certain that he viii not be
an infiationist, for not only are the Re
publicans, who appear to be recovering
from the effects of the reverses they sus-
tanned last year, advocates of hard
monsy' to a man, but the mass of the
Democrats of New York and the New
England States are altogether opposed
to the politicians of the same school
elsewhere on this important question" -
Manchester Guardian.
1.-THE cause of all this seems to be that
in Ohio and Iowa the Democrats are in
fiationists and the Republicans adyo-
Gates of the hard-cash system; while is
is curious to note that in New York the
reverse of this is the case. 1t appears
extraordinary, from an English point of
view, that the same party should profess
different policies in different parts of the
country. -LicerpOOl Post.

SAVINGS BANK TAXES. BY the hte
act Of Congress eXempting the earnings
of Savings Banks from taxation many
millions of dollars are saved for depos-
itors in these institutions. Savings Banks
chartered upon the mutual principle are
now exempt from all taxation. Savings
Banks receiving and investing money
for the exclusive benefit Of the deposit
ors consisting largely OF the laboriug
cIassesl are considered beneicent institu
lions; and in recognizing their meritori-
Gus objects and operations it has been
deemed only just and proper that no tax
Is should be levied on their funds. This
law in their favo- is Of great consequence
to Savings Banks, saving for their de-
positors an immense snm Of money.
Before the passage OF the late act a
single Savings Bank in New York was
compelled 20 pay, at one time, $50, zoo
tax on net earnings.
The Dollar Savings Bank of Pittsburg
paid, in 1872, S5,356. As an example of
the great saving made for these institu-
tions through their exemption from tax
ltion, We viii mention the fact that the
Johnstown Savings Bank, if it had been
taxed upon its deposits and earnings, as
were other banks and bankers, would
have paid for the year 1873, Thirteen
handred and ninety dollars. The amount
of this tax in ten years, with six per cent.
interest, would, of itself, create fund
of nearly tlCeHty thousand dollars.

The New Orleans Times Incorporate
ly observes that whiskey is always kick
ingup a rumpus somewhere. Sometimes
it nestles in the hat OF n man as a jolly
brick. sometimes in the boots of a man
as kissing serpent, and anon it wraps
the pavement around the weary travel
er, and induces him to believe that flag
is patchwork quilt, a stone sill a soft
bolster, the street lamp a bedpost, ana
the ggtter a ababbling brook. 1t is worse
than Banquo's ghost, yet, unlike that
classic spook, it will down" at any mans

press is doing all she can TO win back her
vay in popularity. 1t is now pretty geneT7
ally understood that the Napoleons took
away with them in one shape or another
about SS0000,0 600 and that they
have since spent greater part
of this money in political intrigues for their
restoration. They have maintained, and are
probably still maintaining, wholly or IN part,
about forty newspapers in France and other
countries; but their funds have lately been
running short, and they are now trying u
do whatsoever Is TO be done by condescen-
sion instead of hard cash. M. Paul de Cas-
sagnac, the champion of the fallen empire, is
also particularly courted both for his pen
and his sword. But the exercise of the lat
ter has been recently circumscribed, because
two journalists attached to the editorial de-
partment of the Republique Franchise, M.
Gam oetta's paper, pass all their days in
practising fencing, for the avowed purpose
OF taking NJ. Paul's life. His duels, there
FORE have not lately been so frequent as they
formerly WERE A few of the older adberents OF
the Napoleons gathered round the widowed
empress and her son on the 18th inst, and
the young prince addressed them with con-
siderable tact and political ability. He
said: "Should the people some day recall
me to power will force all honest men To
rally round the empire by erasing from the
French language the words exile and pro-
scriptiOn.' If It could only be known what
lessons l have learned from the past, what
resolutions have drawn from experience of
the events which passed under my own
eyes, it would be seen how well / under
stand that must only look backward for
example and teaching, but not for objects of
vengeance and bitterness. A great,psople is
not to be governed by hatred and revenge"
These are brave words, full of fair promise,
and it is only to be hoped that the prince
will act up to his principles should he ever
have the chance 10 do so.

Of Stringtown, and all the denizens of
nat little village bad been cordially invited
70 be present and participate in the festiv-
tiles that were to follow the happy cere-
mony. About o'clock the happy couple,
accompanied by their assistants and the
members OF the family, left the house OF the
pride and came to this city, where they re-
paired to the residence OF Robert Barnes,
Esq, In Lamasco, and were joined together
tor better OR for worse, by q clergyman of
the Methodist Church. After the cere-
moDY the newly married couple left for the
home OF the bride in Stringtown, where
tney arrived about $50. and where the fes-
Invites were to close with reception and
ball. About this time they were met by
PARTY OF YOUNG MEN,
who were armed with all conceivable man
ners of musical instruments, and in short
while the air was rent with the music and
din of charivari. The driver of thevehicle,
Mr. Louis Sehlamp, became alarmed at the
noise, and expressed fear that his horses
would take fright and run away. Upon this
two of the guests offered to quiet the noise
until the horses were made secure and with
that intention started toward the serenaders.
The hum and buzz of hearty and we'll meant
congratulations offered by the guests in the
house formed strange contrast to
the noise and uprosr of the chair
vaTiDg party, who occupied q posi-
ton in the road near the house. The noise
from the road became louder and louder,
and the request made by the guests for a
short respite from the din was unheeded
Several of the serenaders were armed with
pistols and guns which they were firing off
ct Intervals in the music. Among those who
were tbusly equipped was Jack IDgebrandt,
who had been one OF The foremost of the
party. Raising his loaded pistol he called
N ha of Tor L.
which they were to dispense, and ne him
self made preparations to fire. The ball he
intended to shoot far above the heads of his
comrades, went beyond its mark however,
Tor upon its discharge comrade ,uamed
JOHN MESSENGER, DROPPED
to the ground dead, the shot of Ingebrandt
having taken effect in his brain. The dead
man was taken up and carried to the house
OF his father, where the sorrow of his family
was pitiful to behold. Word was hurried
back TO the wedding party of the awful
event and the effect OF the announcement
was electrical. 1t fell like pail upon the
JOY and mirth. There was emo more
teasting, and the wine fingered I'M
touched in the glass. The little village
soon knew of tbs catastrophe and fastened
to the house OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hessemer, to
which place the remains of their son had
been conveyed. Friends poured out their
sympathy upon the family thus deprived OF
a member as suddenly as though by a shaft
from heaven. The father, Mr.. John Hes
semer, sr.. has been a resident Of this local
ICY for over 30 years, and enjoys the highest
respect of all. No blame is attached to the
boy who did the shooting, and both ne and
his victim are only about sixteen years OF
age. but the lesson of the reckless use of fire.
arms as illustrated in the calamity should
never be forgotten.

THE GREEN COUNTY MURDER.

PARTICULARS OF THE HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
The Bloomfield Democrat makes state
ment of the abominable murder OF a citizen
near Bloomfield, which is the direc. fruit of
whisky, revolvers and dissolute habits. II
night, the 81 inst, several young men,
George Boultz, Daniel Lehman and John
Chapman, had been to a dance some six
miles northeast OF this place, and IL seems
that Chipman's bride had been broken or
some person had cut it, at least when they
arrived opposite the stable of ID w. Hutch
iuson, half mile or so from the dance, on
swore he. was going to have a bride
out OF Hutchinsons stable. Those
with him tried to persuade him
not TO go ID, but he persisted, and
Hutchinson hearing the creaking noise of
the stable door when it opened, got up and
went out. his wife going with him, and going
into the stable and finding soma person
there be demanded to know what was
wanted, and the fellow replied sit Is none
OF your id business" whereupon Hutch
iuson took hold of his arm and the fellow
fired a revolver. The ball took effect little
above and about two or two and half inches
to the left of the umbilicus, passed through
the walls of the abdomen
THROUGH THE COATS OF THE ABDOMINAL
AERrA
and lodged in the third lumbra verteb1@,
after which Hutchinson walked some ten
steps or so, exclaiming, "Pm shot and
killed." and fell dead, the fellow making his
escape. On arriving where Lehman and
Boultz were he remarked, 81 don't know
whether killed him or not; shot him."
On Friday, about II o'clock, George Boultz
came to town and made a statement of the
facts, and writ was sworn out for Chip
man, and Constable Alexander and Steve
Stalcup started out in search of him, and
about hals-past II o'clock returned with him
in custody, having found him at work on
the road. He taken before Esquire
Lehman and the charges were read to him.
After being asked as to his guilt or inno-
cence, be replied: If / did it, / was so
drunk that did not know it," He was
then placed in Jail TO await his trial before
the court of inquiry, which was set for
o'clock p. n. on Saturday, at which time his
attorney, Mr.. W. II. Burk, waved an exami-
nation until The setting OF the circuit court,
