THE REGIST ER.
FERNS PER YEARS., so IN ADVANCE
ShepherastOwn, West Va:
SHALL WE LABOR.

THIS question is an important one
and must be answered by each one for
himself. The long tedious winter has
passed; We have each discussed the po-
li,icsl issues Of the day; we each have
enjoyed the social circle around our
own fresides; we have each tried to
peer into the future that is before us;
we have each planned for the coming
season OF planting and looked forward
10 the harvest; we have each reflected
upon the productive power and capacity
of our system of labor; we have each
estimated the costs of the several pro-
auctions of the farm or the factory
and all have said the season for work is
at hand, and if we would win we must
work, remembering the curse, "that IN
inc sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread all the days of thy life" Let us
ask: Have we been in earnest as to
the labor due from our own hands, or
have we not sought some plan by which
we can gain money, livelihood, sup
port. from the labor of others rather
than our own. The result of the war
has given us another system OF labor
making a change necessary from the
system Of our Fathers. 1t is difficult
20 realize this truth, but the sooner we
do the better for us. 1t is not now the
question how many acres can l farm
with the force of labor at my command
Il is how much can / do myself, and
have l the pluck and energy to do It,
You thins unless / hire labor my broad
acres will render me no profit. This
may be true, but have You estimated
the costs of this hired labor; have you
in this estimate taken into consideration
The casualties of seasons of adaptative-
ness of soil. II not you had better do
so, and unless you are certain of rea-
sonable per cent ofprofit, let your land
rest, or let labor, for the pay Of which
you are in no wise responsible, use the
same. The fact that you raise your
thousands of bushels of wheat, or your
hundred of barrels of corn, what profit
is it, if all be paid out as expense?
Your own labor is your own, nd
YOU have no one to settle with at the
end of the month, or year, but your
self. Shall We labor? We answer
emphatically, if we would succeed in
this or any other land, we shall find
that labor is wealth. Will you try it {?

rB Cock MAIN AT POINT OF Rocks

E~ Cock MAIN AT PoINT OF Rocks.
"A correspondent writing to the Sun
from Frederick on Saturday last gives
the following: Probably some of the
most revolving and brutal scenes ever
occurring in Frederick county were
witnessed yesterday and to-day at the
Point of Rocks, on the Baltimore and
Ohio;railroad, in series of cock fights
arranged by persons fromthis State and
Washington city. The sporting frater
nifty, from Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Washington and elsewhere were repre-
scented to the number of several hun
dred, and among them not few old
men. Fourteen battles it is said, were
fought, the Westinghouse gaining a
majority Of two. Sweat cloths" and
"French pools" were in operation, and
large amounts of money changed hands.
The barrooms were crowded and drunk
en- broils numerous. The horrid spec
tacle of the many fowls with eyes torn
out by sharp steel gaffs, legs and necks
broken, &c, seemed only worthy the
cruelties and barbarisms practiced in
the darkest ages. Many of our people
feel outraged, and will take measures
to prevent a recurrence of such dis
graceful scenes within the borders Of
this county. ri
