Double Crime.

DR.. j. g. Holland, IN ScriJner's for May
Our whole system of treating double
crimes with one-sided laws, our whole silly
policy Of treating one party to double
crime as a fiend, and the other party as an
angel or baby, has been not only ineffi-
cient for the end sought to be obtained,
but disastrous. The man who offers bribe
to any purpose which involves the infrac-
ton of a law of the State or nation is, and
must be, an equal partner in the guilt and
any law which leaves him out Of the trans
action is utterly unjust on the face of it.
IF it is wrong to sell liquor, it is wrong to
buy it, and wrong to sell because, and only
because, it is wrong to buy. If prostitu-
ton is wrong, it is wrong on both sides,
and he who offers to bribe weak woman,
without home or friends or the means of
life, to break the laws of the State, shares
her guilt in equal measure. Law can never
be respected that is not just. No law can
be enforced that lays its hands upon one of
the parties to double crime. No such
law can be enforced, or ever accomplish the
purpose for which it was enacted and un-
til we are ready to have double laws for
double crimes, we stultify ourselves by our
unjust measures to suppress those crimes.
Our witnesses are accomplices, the moral
senes of the community is bunted and per-
verted, and those whom we brand as crimi-
mails look upon our laws with contempt OF
judgement and conscience.

A Rich Man on Riches.

The following story, says the Wayside,
is told of Jacob Ridgeway, wealthy citi-
zen Of Philadelphia, who died many years
ago, leaving u fortune Of five or six million
dollars
Mr. Ridgeway," said young man, with
whom the millionaire was eonversing, 'you
are to be envied more than any gentleman

"Why SO ?" responded Mr.. Ridgeway,
II am not aware of any cause for which
should be particularly envied.'

in astonishment; 'why, are you not mil
lionaire ? Think of the thousands your in
come brings you every month p
"Well what of that ?" replied Mr. r.
''All get out of it is my victuals and
clothes, and | can't eat more than one man S

same time. Pray can't you do as much ?''
"Ah, but, said the youth, ''think of the

the rich man. Il can only live in one

sponded Mr., r. what then ?'' [ can only

Instinct or Reason.

As as farmer in a neighboring town was
getting in his hay, he noticed an unusual
commotion among the swallows, which had
built long row of nests under the caves of
his barn. They appeared greatly excited,
flying rapidly about, and filing the air with
their cries of distress. As the load of hay
upon which he was riding passed into the
barn, he saw that young swallow in a nest
directly over the door had caught its neck
in crack between two shingles and was
unable to liberate itself He stopped his
team and set the young bird free, restoring
it to the nest. Upon his return to the
barn with the next load of hay, noticing
that the swallowns were quiet, he examined
the crack and found that they had filled it
completely with mud, so that no matter
how enterprising or how foolish the young
swallow might be he could not again
endanger his life or the peace of that
community by any experiments upon that
crack. k.-Our Dumb AnimalS.

Left His Money buried a good while.

The Harrisburg Patriot of Saturday
says, the day previous person of gentle
madly appearance called at the Kittatinny
Park Hotel, and inquired where the main
entrance to Camp Curtin was The pro-
prietor, Sheriff Davis, was little uncer-
tain in regard to where the main entrance
had been, but after a survey the point was
found, and the deired information impart-
ed to the gentleman The stranger took
from his pocket compass, and after locat-
ing himself proceeded about due north
west, and just above the residence of Ma
jor Anthony proceeded to investigate the
ground of the locality. After digging
awhile with good sized stick, the stranger
unearthed cigar box which, upon being
opened, was found to contain 5000 in green
backs The stranger had but few words to
say, and took his treasure away without
saying many words. He proceeded to Sher-
if Davis and invited a number Of folks
that were looking at the construction OF the
park to take a lemonade He informed the
curious that during the war he had taken a
bounty, and while in Camp Curtin, in 1864
he concluded to bury his treasure rather
than to have it stolen. The ground was
marked out by the gentleman at that time
with compass, and it was only yesterday
he returned after many years and found his
treasure. There may be more treasures
around Camp Curtin grounds, but we don't
think it would pay in seeking after wealth
to 90 around that neighborhood.

make what restitution he could to his

case IN the points presented was averse to
the plaintiffs, but the suit is to be carried
to the Supreme Court.
The contesting parties are now among

died in 1869, after successfully bringing
up her large family and seeing them well
established in life.
