Going Back.

We mean going back on your own
home--on your own vilage--on your
own business men -on your own neigh
bors.
There Is nothing more common than
this, and yet there is nothing more de-
teStable. Mark the man who does it
mark him every time. lie is corme-
rant upon society, and is dissffected be-
cause his neighbors do not make god
of him, aud fall down and worship him.
He has fallen, or else he never was ele-
waited, and he would drag everybody
else down to his own level
These are plain words, but we be.
lievc them to be just. The man who
would live upon the failings Of bis
neighbors, must always have a foul
stomach and if it does not contain
living fowl, it is full of foul matter. If
the stomach be full of foul matter, it
will be continually elected from the
mouth.
The election Of this kind Of filth is
called going back on one s friends. But
the question naturally arises, whether
such person has any friends. They
may have, but they ought to be scarce,
aud they soon will be.
The moral of this is, Never say i'll
Of your neighbors, lest you be suspect
ed Of being wrong yourself never dis-
parage your town, because that will dis-
paraee yourself.
Learn to weigh conditions before you
condemn, -balancc your own scale, and
put yourself into it, and if teo-peuny
nail don't throw you out at bounce,
you may rest assured that there is
dead weight of sin about you some
where. Yea. feather will sink the
opposite end, If you are purged of sin.
Sensible people have no confidence in
the man who berates his neighbors.
And this is just as it should be, since
the man who has co confidence in hu-
man nature ought not 10 deem himself
an exception. Speak well Of your
neighbors. or be silent. Speak well of
your town, or be silent. You may
not be judge Of towns, aud you may
not be suitable Judge of your neigh
bors, and you certainly have no right
to believe, or express the belief that
every body else is as degraded as your
self.

Fault Finding Homo Sugges-
lkOns--Our Village.

Men should not always be finding
fault, but if done in the right spirit, it
is one of the best things in the world
for man TO be told Of his faults; aud
what is good for one is good for another,
and what is good for individuals, is, as
a rule, good for a community. Not
that we should recommend incessant
fault finding, by any means, but a
proper scrutiny-a just criticism, aud
a careful. discreet prudent way of
getting at it, and it is all we'll enough.
At the same time we would recommend
the bestowing enough of praise Of that
which is really worthy, with neither
can't 5wning nor hypocrisy, to make
the individual feel and believe that
what you say is inspired by true friend
ship. by such criticism, every man
every woman, every youth, every child.
every community will be benefited.
With tits preface We propose to
venture few
HOME SUGGESTIONS.
1t is but few mornings since that a
portion Of our citizens we're aroused By
the cry Of fire, and true it W. that
the very heavens we're Illuminated By
the rising flames which threatened the
total destruction Of our village. But
this was not time for fault finding -
not by any means but it was time
for action quick even instantaneous
decision, aud equally rapid execution.
Aud right here we come 10 our sugges
nons:-Eycry family should have some

a few extra buckets. water always
accessible. aud some wsil.coucels ed

business man should have means OF
access to all parts of his establishment,
and some protection in the shape of an
extinguisher; every village should have
a fire company, or hook and ladder
company, to say the least. These are
al-important matters to which We desire
to direct the immediate attention of our
citizens.
Another thing We would suggest is,
WHAT TO BE DONE
in case an alarm of fire is given
Scarcely two.thirds perhaps not one.
half--of our citizens were aroused
during the late fire. THIS shows the
importance OF ringing the bells ring
ing ,hem loud and long 20 long as
danger threatens. And to this end
appointments should be made; it should
be the duty ofthe sexton of the Church
the jani.or Of the Normal School, aud
other school-houses, to ring the bells.
aud it should be the first duty of our
citizens who may perceive he danger.
TO inform these men.
Then, too, it should be the duty Of
every man to
AROUSE HIS NEIGHBoRs.
since it is help that we need in every
hour of peril Nor is this all lit is a
privilege which every man of life and
public spirit desires to enjoy.
The fault we would fnd, then, is
already anticipated, aud our suggestions
should be extended to far greater
extent. Let us be up and doing. Let
each man look after his own affairs first,
and then aid his neighbors. Let
us organize some kind of fire force,
and let US be prepared to make the best
possible use of all the means within our
reach. Let us do as well, at least, as
we have done heretofore. Any thing
less, and total destruction will be newt
able.

borders. L. is not enough that we lcok
out for No. One"--it is not enough
that we look on, for our own house

for the interests Of a select few. We
have no sympathy with that sort of
go-to-the- devil spirit which would run
over one class in society % build up a
certain other class. We have no
sympathy with those who proclaim
both BY word and act their selfshness
aud their greed-those who would reach
the goal themselves, aud let the devil

But we believe in some self sacrifices, if
need be, on the one part that the other
part may reap the benefit of their
instruction aud protection.
But just how these things are TO be
brought about, we are not prepared to
say--just how order is to be brought
out OF seeming chaos, We are unable to
tell. We feel aud know that something
ought to be dOne-that some organlza-
ton ought to be effected-that it is
absolutely indispensable, in fact, to the
future safety and well.being Of our

POE T R Y.
The Parson Going to Mill.
ny REQUEST.

BY ktQukST.
The parson sat in his house one day
While the wintry storm did rage;
liigh-rapt he drank in lofty thought.
From iiooker's classic page,
But as he sat. and holy dreams
Into his heart did steal,
His sweet wife opened the door and said
My dear, we have no meal ~
With saddened brow and heavy sigh
He laid aside his book,
And with meek, despairing eye
Upon the earth did look.
My people think that l must break
To them the bread of heaven
But they II not give me bread enough
Three whole days out ofseven.
But hunger is serious thing.
And it is sad to hear
Sweet childrens mournful cry for bread
Loud ringing in your ear.
SO staight he mounted his old horse
With meek and chastencd will,
And on his meal-bag. patched and coarse,
he journeyed to the mill.
The miller bowed to him, and said
" Sir, by yoar church steeple
l vow give you praise for this,
But none to your Church people,
The paraon mounted his old horse,
lie had no time to lag,
And rode like u hero to his home,
Right on his old meal bag.
But as he rode he overlook
Who, with close, astonishcd gaze,
The parsons bag did sean.
My reverend friend, the trdth to tell,
1t makes me feel quite wroth
To see you compromise this way
The honor of your cloth.
why told you not. my honored friend,
Your meal was running low
What will the neighbors think Of us
If to the mill you go
" My wealthy friend, - the parson said,
lou must not reason so:
For tbs n fixed aud settled thing,
My meal is dticuys fosc.
4" If my dear people wish to know
How to promote my bliss.
I'd simply say, a bag of meal
viii never come amiss:
just keep the store-room well supplied
And will be right still
But the meal gives out again
must go to the mill
Laymen it needs no miracle
No hard, laborious toll,
To make the parsons meal-bag like
The widow cruise of oil -
Pour forth into his wife's store-room
Your gifts right plentiful
The miracle is simply this:
To keep it al,cdps full.
