Moral Eject Of tho IIccchcr TrlaI

Moral Effect Of the IIccCher Trial.
lJohn swin!on's correspondence In Cincinnati
Commercially
As to its influence on the community at
large, must say that | think It has in nj
least some respects been advantageous. 1t
has had an intellectual value, 1t has been
u training school Of thought for the multi
tude. The method Of procuring, fixing,
testing and determining evidence has
wrought with rigorous effect upon the
public mind and The ratiocinative ways Of
ordinary people. II has had tendency
to reduce loose cabling, to prevent
baSeless assertions, and To weaken mems
assurance in talking about things they
"know" nothing about. ! notice, for
instance, that everybody in general Is now
cross-examining everybody in particular
concerning allegations which would for.
merly have passed unchallengcd and ]
have observed TINT many mems habits
Of mind are corrected by this course.
Loose.tongued, blOwhard scandal.mong-
ers and tale.bearers can often be put on
the ragged edge by Cross-examination
after the style Of Fullerton or Eyarts. In
other words, the legal part Of thiS trial Is
helping to give people more exact habits
Of thinking and talking. II Is giving
them the results Of that legal logic which
they could never be induced to study IN
the abstract. In this respect think the
community has got some advantage from
the yoluminous literature OF the trial. II
this opinion be correct then the morals Of
the community must, in the larger sense,
be CORRESPONDENCE benefited. Correct
morals are the result OF correct thinking,
as loose morality is the result Of loose
thought, and rigorous life is the ORDER
ly fruitage Of a rigorous mind. Perhaps
direct examination or Cross-examination
as practised by lawyers Is not the best way
Of reaching realism or truth; but 1t Is
better than no way. So then, may say
also, as related to the community, under
the general view here referred to, | could
wish that the Beecher trial might go on
iorever-that Is to say, II newspaper
readers could be induced to faithfully
pcruSe the verbatim report Of the daily
proceedings, including all the evidence,
arguments, and rulings, II would certain.
" In the long run have IN cducatlve intlu.
cnce at once pervasive and profound on
the mental condition and habits Of the
American people, and 20 on their moral
character and conduct.

GheGnteIIi4etrtea,
Small Farms aud BETTER Culture.


This country wants smaller farms. As
general rule, our farms are too large.
Ii man has capital enough to stock and
carry on large farm propcrly-that is,
no as to make 1t yield up to its full ca
pscity, and at the same time to be grow
ing better-there can be no Just objection
to his adding field to field, and farming
largely. And there are some advantages
peculiar to large farms such US u greater
diversity and a more systematic rotation
OF crops which man OF large means has
a perfect right to purchase to himself.
But generally speaking, the capital en-
ployed in carrying on farms is out Of all
proportion to the means invested. LISA
distressing sight to see fields half titled.
Such farming Is pernicious as an OK
ample, 1t corrupts and finally kills the
soil, and degrades the cause Of agricul-
ture.
We are not prepared to say just how
many acres a farmer ought TO cultivate
further than he ought to attempt no more
than he can cultivate thoroughly and
we'll. Tho Romans illustrated the i'm
portance Of thorough tillage by the fol-
lowing apologize: A vine dresser had two
daughters and vineyard; when the elder
daughter was married, he gave her a third
Of his vineyard for portion, notwith-
standing which he had the same quantity
Of fruit as formerly. When his younger
daughter was married he gave her half
Of what remained, and still the produce
OF his vineyard was undiminishGd. This
resulted from his bestowing as much labor
on the third part left, after his daughters
had received their portion, as he had been
accustomed to give to the whole vineyard.
There is not farmer in this whole East
ern Ohio who might not repeat, with
great success, the experiment OF the old
Roman.
The large ideas which are so striking
ly characteristic of us rs nation, and
in general so honorable, have taken an
unfortunate direction in debating the
size Of our farms. Tho farm Of the famed
Cincinnatus consisted OF but few acres.
When Dido landed on the coast Of Africa,
the inhabitants, disposed to be hospitabIe
and genera gave her as much land as
bulls hide would cover, and when, with
woman's witsho cut tho hide into small
stripes and enclosed a larger portion Of
ground than was intended she Ind less
territory for the magnificent City and
State Of Carthage than many Belmont
county farmers possess and occupy. And,
now, In the density populated districts Of
Europe, five acres are considered mn am-
pie field and large enough for the in.
dustry Of u family.
Small farms will enlarge the basis of
our agricultural population, will bring
in careful and exact husbandry, will In
crease production and enhance the value
of land. The more dense the population
Of u rural district, the better the roads,
the better the schOOls-morc social rela-
tions. These are important points and
public opinion should be directed toward |
this accomplishment.

Amusing the Baby.

When the baby is Just able to open its
little unused eyes it is first induced to
gaze upon the lamp. The infant, with the
weak, pinkish, half.open eyes, is a suffer,
er beyond any power to tell of or get relief
from its own woes, and yet the torment
otmnking it gaze at "ze putty yed wight"
is supposed to be exquisitely amusing.
After the bother with the sun and lamp,
the baby is jumped at, screamed at, and
otherwise startled, until its nerves are
disturbed beyond ordinary Quieting. 1t
is a subject Of marvel to most people that
so many children die in infancy, but to
IN observing and rejecting mind the Won
der is that any children grow to maturity.
When you and feel miserable We want
to be left in quiet. Repose is the sweetest
remedy for our nervous or other ills, but
baby Is trotted, bounced and totGd, "ketchy-
ketched," chucked under its chin, poked
in its cheeks, or somebody's thumb is
thrust into its toOthless mouth irrespect-
i've of a need OF ablution, and then Il baby
isn't happy it is reputed very irritable.
Tickling the babys feet, creeping the
fingers like the motion OF mouse across
its breast, and up into its fat, sensitive
neck-wrinkles, Is another mode Of amusing
baby. OF course the child laughs, and
the idiots who torment It forget that it is
the same expression with which they
reply to similar process from the hand
Of some mischievOus, but torturing
friend and yet we all know that this
laugh from a man Is an hysterical outcry
Of nervous irritability. When the laugh
ceases WEAKNESS brings weeping, or per-
haps restless and unreireshing sleep,
followed by depression, and probably by
indigestion and collie. Nothing should
be done to startle child-Cven too
frequent playing Of bopeep, II violent,
has been known to bring on 81, Vitus'

surprises are dangerous to the nervous
system, Just as all sudden atmospheric or
dietetic changes are very unhealthy, and
sometimes fatal. II music is selected to
please the young childs ears, ii should be
gentle and soothing,-lletropolitH,

a French solomon to His Son.

From the farlS thlANnrlI
Women love but Once-shun that once
Women hate in prorOtion to their love
Most women retain their virtue, but
many like to risk it.
Not all women lie, but no woman ever
tells the whole truth,
Hatred Is at the bottom OF love, as death
at tho bottom OF life.
One always thinks he is in love when 60
ing up stairs coming down he is not so
sure Of II.
You cannot impede u woman in her
love; you cannot recall the arrow shot in
to space,
A woman Is fortress which can al.
ways DO taken-by him who knows how
to make the assault.
Mans vanity is irritated by defeat and
consoled with rupture. WOman'svanity
acts in an inverse sense.
Ask not woman's heart; she has but
one and may give it. OF all fatal pres.
ents woman's heart is the most deadly.
DO not love romantic woman. SHE
will make an ideal Of you which you eau.
not realize, and which II will grieve you
to destroy.
