Labor produces all wsalth; Capital. so far,
has controlled labor; but when the great mass
of laborers become sufficiently enlightened,
and can combine to protect themselves against

to themselves all the products r. their labor,
which they now share with tie Il ii; OF the
non producing classes, i'll the Iorni ot Profits,
interest, rents discounts, difference in
change, etc; then there will be no rich or poor.
but all will have plenty, comfort, and even lux
ury; and plenty OF time for mental culture and
Improvement, and for discoveries in art. sci
ence and invention. When that good time
comes. we shall be ready to step down and out,
and to join the grand army Of wealth producers
and make an honest living by the sweat Of our
brow. But for the present

From the London Times
A curious story is told of Mrs. Frances
Wordsworth, one Of the saved off the ship
Strathmore. She was sitting by fire in
the island upon which they were cast, when
she saw woman's face and head appear.
1t was beautiful face-pale complexion
and dark eyes, with kerchief tied over
the head and under the chin. 1t smiled
on her, and slowly faded away. She spoke
of it to her son, and he mentioned it to
some of their companions; but the striking
part of the story is that the gentle young
wife of the American captain who took
them from the island and saved them
who was OF her husbands ship-had the
face of the vision, even to the kerchief tied
under the chin.
