This little sentence should be written
on every heart and stamped On every

practiced not only in every household,
but throughout the world. BY helping
one another we not only remove thorns
from the pathway and anxiety from the
mind, but we feel sense of pleasure in
our own hearts, knowing we are doing a
duty for a fellow creature. A helping
hand, or an encouraging word, is no
loss to us, yet it is benefit to Others.
Who has not felt the power of this little
sentence? Who has not needed the
encouragement and aid of q kind friend ?
How soothing, when perplexed with
some task that is mysterious and bur
densome, TO feel gentle hand on, your
shoulder, and to hear kind voice whis-
pering, .'Do you feel discouraged. /

County Correspondence.
Written for The Spirit of Democracy.l
From Seneca Township,

APRIL "a, 1876
ED SPIRIT: You noticed some weeks
since that | met with very severe acci.
dent. am now JUS. able to hop about
a little on crutches, but am very weak
and l thought, for little pastime, /
would write few lines for your paper.
l see in almost every paper the ac-
count of some one failing in business,
and l do not notice that any one is try
ing to account for it, except by saying,
hard times I thought l would give a
little advice how to keep from it, l will
say first, Live within your means. This
is q good rule for Office holders and bu.
siness men generally. When the man of
moderate income endearors to live as
expensively as man of wealth, his fu-
ture can easily be written. A little en-
joyment, periods of anxiety, burdensome
debts, a desperate struggle to keep up
appearances, ultimate bankruptcy, and a
red flag to notify the neighbors that the
Sheriff is master of the situation.
One-half the dishonesty of the pres
ent age springs from this foolish prac-
tice of initiating others. The man of a
thousand year wants to live equal to
the one who receives FIVE He in turn
aspires to make as big show as the one
who receives ten, and the receiver of ten
labors to keep pace with the one who
counts his income among the fifty thou
sands. Is it any wonder that 81 many
fail in business or forfeit by their mis-
conduct the confidence Of frienls2 We
must come back to our old fashioned
way of living, and this can be done only
by obeying that inj lnction, Live within
your means. Life is altogether too short
to destroy its enjoyment by taxing soul
and body to keep up false appearances
Contentment comes with moderation :;
mental suffering and keen anguish with
extravaganza. To the young man just
starting in life we say, Live within your
means. A patch on mans back is not
80 disgraceful as writ; and what We
say to the young man we say TO all,
Live within your means This is safe
and sensible rule, and one that will pay
compound interest in the end. A faith
ful adherence to it by old and young
rich and poor, will restore confidence in
business and official circles, and fill the
land with happy homes from which will
emanate spirit of pnrity essential to
the maintenance of public virtue. More

Congress and Re,renchment.

There is deadlock The House
will not appropriate money unless per-
mitted to have its way in respect to GER
tain retrenchments or changes. The
Senate, on the other hand, seems in
clined to refuse any appropriation un-
less in accordance with the precedents
of former years as to system and
amount. Evidently one House or the
other must ultimately yield. No room
for mere compromise appears II the
old system aud scale of appropriations
were improper, the House cannot honor
ably do less than insist upon needful
changes, while, on the other hand, if the
Senate was in the right in commencing
this struggle, it has the same reason for
persistipg. But it seems to US that the
Senate is not acting wisely. Its course
is not in accordance with the spirit OF
our institutions, it is not calculated on
the whole to benefit the public, and it is
not wise as measure of party tactics

WOman's Nature.

At the lower end of Woodward ave.
nue. in Detroit, the other day, an old ap
pie woman offered her fruit to a vessel
captain who was signing over the good
old times of 1864, she wanted three cents
apiece for her apples. He gave her q
pleasant look and said:
"Well, we'll. Why you look as young
as you did ten years ago. Same bright
eyes and red cheeks-same white teeth v
stake an apple for two cents, captain,
she replied.
II presume you are fifty years DID,"
he continued; shut who'd know t2-
Lots of ladies at thirty look as old as

"Take an apple for cent, captain"
she said, smiling like rose.
"Some rich old fellow will come along
some day searching for buxom wife, u
said the captain, "and you won't have to
peddle apples any more"
"Here, captain, two for cent; take
two Of the biggest!' she exclaimed, and
then ran after him and dropped two more
into his coat pocket.

Reflec,lons In " cstminster Abbey.

sWhen look upon the tombs Of the
great, every emotion of envy dies in
me; when l read the epitaphs of the
beautiful, every inordinate desire goes
out; when meet with the grief of par
ents upon a tombstone, my heart melts
with compassion; when l see the tomb
of the parents themselves, 1 consider
the vanity of grieving for those whom
we must quickly follow. When ] see
kings lying by those who deposed them,
when / consider rival wits placed side
by side, or the molly men that divided
the world with their contests and dis
putcs, reflect with sorrow and astonish
ment on the little competitions, factions
and debates of mankind. When I read
the several dates of the tombs, of some
that died yesterday, and some six hun.
dred years ago, consider that great
day when We shall all of us be contem-
poraiies, and make our appearance to.

4 French Duel,

A sanguinary duel took place in
Frarce the other day. Ia a heated po-
litical discussion the other day a blow
was given by Count de x to the Duke
of Z. The Duke did not return the
blow; but few minutes later, finding
himself alone with the gentlemen who
were to act as his seconds, he took an
oath never to see his wife or little girl
again until he had washed away the in,
suit in the blood of the Count The
next day the duel took place. The Duke
was wounded twice-in the fore arm and
in the right side-hefore the Count had
received scratch but the Duke, not
withstanding the suffering and the loss
of blood from his wounds, insisted on
continuing the fight. The duel went on !;
the Duke, making superhuman effort,
drove his sword through his adversary,
who fell lifeless. Then, palld as death,
bathed in his own blood, ard with diff
Guilty sustaining himself, the Duke drew
white handkerchief from his pocket,
and bending over the Counts body dip
ped the handkerchief in the blood gush-
ing from his adversary's death wound,
and turning to the four seconds, who
looked on aghast, the Duke raised the
blood stained cloth to his face, and said !:
"You will tell them, gentlemen. how the
Duke of Z avenged the insult to his
honor. l wash away the insult with the
blood of the one who insulted me-" He
then said TO his own seconds: "Take
this handkerchief, which l confide to
you, to the Duchess, my wife; enjoir
it upon her as duty to place it among
the wedding presents of nv daughter
when she shall be married: it is her fa
theirs gift to her-the purity of hi:
name." The words were hardly spoken
when the Duke fell back dead; and ir
death his features looked calm ant
proud, and almost wore smile. His
honor had been satisfied.

a Pesrfnefl Forest. (

From Mr.. David Rideout, who has

a petrifed tree for the Centennial Exhi-

avr.rr.o ssse fvas.-- /,
rified forest in the desert of northwes-

thirty miles from the Blaclls range
of mountains, stands one Of the great
est natural curiosilies ever discovered in
Nevada. It a petrified forest, in which
the stumps of many Of the trees, now
changed into solid rock, are still stand
ing. There are no living trees or veget-
alton of any kind, other than stunted
sage brush, in the vicinity. Some Of
these ancient giants Of the forest, which
flourished, perhaps, thousands of years
ago, when the climate of Nevada MAS
undoubtedly more favorable for the
growth Of luxuriant vegetation than at
present, rival in size the big trees Of
California Stumps transformed into
solid rock stand in an upright position,
with their roots imbedded in the soil, as
when growing, that measure from fiffeeE
to twenty six feet in Circumference, and
the ground in the vicinity is streWp with
the trunks and limbs, which retain their
natural shape and size. Mr.. Rideout
determining to secure section OF one
of these trees for the Centennial Exhi.
bition with two other men, spent twelve
days in cutting it from the stump. This
was accomplished by drilling all around
the tree and separating it with wedges.
The specimen is three feet high, and
eighteen feet in circumference, and its
estimated weight is three tons. It
stands on the stump from which it Was
severed, ready to be loaded on a wagon.
Mr. Rideout does not feel able to incur
the expenses Of bringing it by team to
the railroad, though he had once made
arrangements to do so, but the other
party to the agreement failed to perform
his part He is anxious to call the at
tenlion of the Centennial Commissioners
to the matter, aud see if they will not
furnish the means to get it to the rail-
road. The country in which it is situa-
ted is an inviting field for geolcgists." !"
