How to Break of bad EAab.
lis

Understand the reason, and all
the reasons, why the habit is in
furious. Study the subject until
there is no lingering doubt in your
mind. Avoid the places, the per-
sons and the thoughts that lead to
the temptation. Keep busy, as
idleneSs is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the strug-
gle when you have broken your
resolution once, twice "a thousand
times. That only shows how much
need there is for you 20 strive
When you have broken your reso-
luiions just think the matter over,
and endeavor 10 understand why
it is you failed so that you m y be
on your guard against recurrence
of the same circumstances. Do not
think it an easy thing that you
have undertaken. 1t is a folly TO
expect to break off bad habits in q
day which have been acbumulat-
ing for years.

what the Changers Have
Bone.

The New York Times, speaking
of what the Changers of the West
ern States have done, says:
"Tbey have broken the power
and combinations of the pork
packers. They started out the past
fall as they did the fall before, TO
buy pork at about SO, expecting
again to get double the price when
they sold, as they did last year
bat the Changers were too sharp
for them this time. They said,
rather than sell at these low prices
we will pack cur own pork. So,
all over the West, the Changers
com oined, determined to pack un-
less they could get what their pork
was actually worth. Pork came
in slow, not fast enough TO meet
the demands of packers. The
Changers went to putting up their
own pork. The packers became
alarmed, and thought they had
better make smaller profits,an so
commenced Offering higher prices.
The Changers were firm, reso'ute,
and insisted on higher prices. The
packers were soon compelled to pay
them.
The farmers have triumphed
over the combinations to wrong
them. Millions more of dollars
have been saved to them than
otherwise would have been. They
needed the money, and have got
it. They were entitled to it, and
only got what was their due. The
farmers can combine on q larger
and grander scale than any other
class. when il becomes necessary.

Titles.

Little words are the sweete st to
hear little charities fly furthest
and stay longest on the wing; lit
tie flakes are the stillest; little
books are the most read, and lit
tile songs are the dearest loved.
And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beau
tiful, she makes it little--little
pearls, little diamonds, little dew.
Agar's is a model prayer, yet it is
but a little one, anu the burden OF
the petition is but little. The
Sermon on the Mount is little, but
the last dedication discourse was
an hour. Life is made up of lit
ties; death is what remains of
them all. Day is made up oflittle
beams, and night is glorious with
little stars.

An Elysium for Lazy Men.

Well, we are lazy in, Norfolk,
says a correspondent, that's a fact.
But there is no need of working
here. If a man has energy enough
to dig a worm he can take pin
hook and sit down on the wharf
and catch enough fish in one day
to last him two. If he is too lazy
to dig a worm, he can tie a piece
of flannel rag on string and catch
enough crabs to last him a day or
two, and if too lazy to tie a piece
of flannel to string he lays down
on his back on the sand at ebb
tide, opens his mouth and when
the tide comes in, the crabs run
into it. What need is there of
work in a country for which ma
ture did so much.

CENTENNIAL.
Our Philadelphia Letter.

PHILADELPHIA, June 10, 1876.
For a day or two back the city
has been in the possession Of the
Knights Templar. They throng
about the streets, and whichever
way you look, your glance is sure
TO rest on the white plume and
regalia of some red cross knight.
Bands promenade the streets. fol-
lowed by crowds Of urchins, keep
ing step with the music, and the
whole city has martial aspect,
which is not lessened by the
clouds of bunting in which it is
eEvelOped. The grand parade
which took place on Thursday,
was without doubt the finest ever
made by the Templars in the pre-
sent century, nearly ten thousand
being counted in the ranks.
Decoration Day was generally
observed as Il public holiday here;
but, although the ceremonies were
on a large scale, and more impress
sive than usual, they did not ex.
cite 80 much notice as they would
at another time. The fact is that
there is so much going on here
just now, that no one thing can
claim general attention, and those
associations and societies that
have fixed on the Centennial City
as their place of meeting this
year, haVd made mistake if
their object in so doing was to
make sensation. 1t is a case of
overlOading the public stomach,
and if dyspepsia doesn't follow |
am very much mistaken.
On Tuesday the Bankers Ma
tiOnal Commemoration took place;
the opening of their building on
the Centennial grounds being the
occasion ofa reunion of bankers
from all portions of the country.
The orator of the day was Mr..
Elbridge Gerry Spaulding, of Buff
falO, who epitomized the history
of the ancient history of banking
In Europe. as we'll as this country,
and especially the progress of the
last century.
Hereafter the grounds are to be
cleared in the evening by the per-
suasive voice Of the Steam Siren,
one of the exhibits of the Light
House Department. 1t is SAID to
be merely signal, but if it doesn't
prove one of the most effective
means of dispensing a crowd there
is no virtue in tortured steam;

age, is now besieging the doors of

week to land and place it on the
16.Wheeled truck of the Pennsyl-

then the bridges had to be
strengthened before it could be
brought to its present position.

cial steel car made to transport

" THIS LIFE"

This life is like game of cards,
Which each man has to learn;
Each shuffies. cuts, and deals the pack,
And each his trump doth turn.
Some turn high card to the top,
While Others turn q low.
Some hold hand quite filled with trumps
While others none can show
When "hesrts -" are trumps, we play for
loye,
And pleasure fills the hour;
No thought of sorrow checks our joy,
In pleasures rosy bower.
When diamonds " chance to crown the
pack.
'Tis then men take their gold;
Large SUMS are often lost and won,
By gamblers young and old.
Intent on winning. each doth watch
His friend with eagle eye;
In hope. perhaps, to get a chance
To catch him /" on the sly"
Thus tits that mans the dupe of rogues.
And rouges each other cheat;
And he, indeed. is a wise man,
That never meets defeat.
When "clubs" are trurnps, look out for war,
On ocean or on land
For hOrrid deeds are often done,
When "clubs are in the hand,
Last game of all is where the spade
1s turned by the "hand of time"
It's this that finishes the game,
In every land and every cline.
No matter how much each man wine,
Or how much each man saves;
You 6nd at last the spade" turns up
And digs the players graves.

THE Wallapai Enterprise genius
don't like il because THE CITIZEN call
ed him an ollshoOt Ofthe Miner and pro
cecds to shoot off his mouth in 4 dir
ty and more personally natural man
ner than we have heretofore observed
in his general style. He solemnly de-
clares that he is not "A otfshoot, "
which would have been well enough
if he had stopped there, but he gra-
dually works himself up into fever
ish denial of Indebtedness, short wind
edness, hydrcphobia, poll-evil, and,
declaring that he does not owe the
Miner cent, closes his whole pane
gyric by calling Us liar and wants
US 10 come up and meet some kind Of
an issue.
We should take no notice of the
man whatever where ii not to call at
tenuon TO the labOred manner in
which he works up to a p int where
he can use his evidently fayorite bill
lingsgate. We never said that he was
in any manner indebted to the Miner
or that he had not paid for bis stock
in trade OF that he owed for his daily
hash, or anything Of the kind. But
this was unnecessary. When man of
his ilk is seized with the desire to
call man liar he will make up the
issue himself without any eXtraneOus
aid. We now confidently expect,
while maintaining perfect silence on
our part, that the Enterprise man will
produce his waSherwoman's affidavit
that he pays for the purgatiOn of his
linen OF cotton, and that he will pub
lish the statement of witnesses going
TO show that he was born in wedlock,
and close the whole by calling us a
liar.
These are easy methods of prOvid-
ing the occasion to crafty ones weak
ness, nut there are attendant evils
WheL mans credit has not been
called in question, a blatant denial on
his part of Indebtedness seems redund-
ant and leads one naturally to suspect
something wrong; and an uncalled
for effort on the part of an individual
To prove that he was legitimately born
might lead To grave suspicious that he
was a bastard.
