FoRBEAR TO JUDGE.-How often do
we read, or hear of ones personal char
acter being attacked, and we find our
selves believing the slander, without ever
stopping to think of the social position
and standard of the slanderer. No mat
ter how insignificant the man is who RI
dicules his neighbor, it will be always a
stain on the party attacked. The SLAM
dered party may be man of virtue and
good standing in the community, and his
accuser low and unprincipled man; but
pnblic opinion will decide that the charge
is bold one and is evidently true.
How mean and low it is to speak i'll OF
anotherl Often mans reputation is at
tackled because he has attained a high
position in society, and become infuen'
tial and wealthy among his fellow-beings.
Oh, reputation! you are difficult to gain,
but how easily lost And when good
name is lost we are thrown out of society
into the depths of degradation, never,
perhaps, to raise our heads to the level OF
our lost position.
How various are the characters of the
people in thi. world! Some are ever
ready to lend 8 helping hand, while
others will dig into the history of their
fellow-beings, vainly endeavoring to find
their vices, so that they can go forth and
proclaim them to the world, hoping to
gain favor by it. Investigations of such
nature should commence at home,
then this world would be pure and
good.
A man with ever so little judgment and
common sense will ever be prepared to
conceal his friends vices, and instead of
exposing him, will endeavor to raise him
higher in others estimations by speaking
of his virtues. If you cannot speak well
of your fellow beings never speak i'll of
them, because there is no character so
mean, low. and unprincipled; as the char
acter of slanderer. Therefore "forbear
to Judge, for we are sinners, all"

The True Line for the Democracy.

The true line for the Democratic party
to take is that suggested by the extraor-
dinary and appalling events which now
startle the country. Let the battle be
fought upon the issues of Grants malad-
ministration. Let the party trace every
stream of corruption which now pollutes
the country to its source, and call upon
the country to rise and cleanse the source.
Let the leaders begin the campaign on
the violation of the constitution involved
in the appointment of staff officers and
not statesmen to the Cabinet. Let them
show how the moral sense of the nation
was degraded by the selection of worth
less relations and whiskey-drinking cro-
MES to high Offices here and abroad. Let
them show how the Senate degraded it.
self by becoming sharer in the plunder
and patronage of the Executive. Let
them show how the country was parcelled
out like the provinces of the ancient
Roman Empire, every State with Sena-
torial proconsul-Co -Conkling in New York,
Cameron in Pennsylvania, Patterson in
South Carolina, and 30 on until the coun-
try, so far as the patronage was concerned,
is under the dominion of an oligarchy
which only opposes the President when
he names men for Office like Hoar and
Dana, supporting him in his selection of
Billings and Delano. Let them show
investigations in the House were made
impossible so long as the brothers of
members were allowed to hold trade posts
and rob Indians and soldiers. Let them
show how scandal after scandal super
vened until we had Secretary of War
at the bar of the Senate as confessed
robber, and Secretary of the Navy
rapidly on his way thither for having
used q million of dollars of the Govern
ment money to sustain sinking banking
house in London.
Let the Democrats lay down as car
dinal maxim of their canvass the neces-
sity of one term for the Presidency and
the re-establishment of the civil service.
Let Senator as brave and keen as Bay
ard show that the root of all these evils
lies in that tendency to Cesarism which
has grown out of the two term principle.
Let him show, with the reflective prin-
ciple as it now stands, we virtually offer
o premium to all ambitious Presidents to
do as Grant has done-namely, use the
Presidency as he would have used rebel
camp, for pillage by himself and his sol
diers. Let him show that the President,
instead of taking the Presidency as a ga
cred trust, regarded it as chance for
good time with his friends and cronies-
high pay, little work, lots of fun and no
questions asked, and the only care SO to
handle its enormous power that 1t might
last as long as possible. Let the country
bs summoned, without distinction of
party, to rise as one man and put an end
to it all even as in New York the peo-
ole rose and put an end to Tweed and his
knaveries.-N. Y Herald.

The LARGEST YIELD OF CORN YET
We find the following statement in the
Gblntry Gentleman, of Albany. 1t fai
surpasses anything we ever heard OF be-
fore in the way of corn crops:
Elias R. Lake, of Marion county, took
premiums on corn at the Indiana State
Fair, as follows: For acre, 263 bushels
s acres, 247 bushels per acre; 10 acres
23S bushels per acre. The soil was sand
and loan, based on clay, a river bottom
the one acre was plowed ten inches deeE
and planted in drills three feet apart, and
merely plowed out with shovel plow three
times; the five acres were plowed sis
inches deep and planted in hills three
and half feet each way, plowed out
with shovel plow four times, hoed once
the ten acre piece was plowed six inr aes
deep and had the same cultivation as the
five acres. The corn was measured by
weight, and would probably shrink con
siderably in drying.

POETIC SENT1MENT.-The setting OF
the sun last evening presented a truly
magnificent sight. The western sky was
o'erspread with waving, billowy clouds,
rendered transcendently beautiful the
glow of color from the reflection of the
retiring goo of day. Here a faint blush
of rose tint; there gorgeous purple
beyond cloud fringed with glitter Of
golden color or enriched with the sub
dued hue of amber. 1t was sight to

brought the thought that even then, tar

REMEDY FOR SLEEpLEssNEss. MANY
persons, from nervousness, fatigue, or
mental excitement, are unable to sleep.
Mr.. Frank Buckland, an English natu-
ralist, prescribes a very simple remedy
for insomnia, or sleeplessness. The fact
that opiates, in any form, leave traces of
their influence the next morning, induced
himself, as he has also frequently pre-
scribed for others onions; simply COM
mon raw onions. The we'll known taste
of onions is due to apeculiar essential oil
contained in them, and this oil has high
ly sopori6c powers, which, in his own
case, Mr.. Buckland AYERS, never fail; il
much pressed with work, I! ana feeling 1 an az

which is magical in producing the desired
repose. Such remedy has a great adj
vantage over the supplying drugs COM

"ATToRNEY VS.. CITIzEN.".--Col.
John w. Ferguson, the editor of the
Laurensville Herald, and lawyer by
profession, expresses himself thusly in
regard to the duty of lawyers to their
clients
The impeachment trial of Judge Mo.
ses has led to an expression of opinion
which we deem worthy of consideration.
The attorneys engaged in that trial on
the part of the accused are men of repu-
tation, and their ability ranks them
among the foremost in their profession,
and yet their course in this trial has not
met with unqualified approval. From
this the question has arisen in the public
mind as to the relative duties of the at
torney and the citizen.
Now, we recognize it as the duty of
every attorney to use every legitimate
means to ensure the success of his client,
but we fail to see that it is the duty of an
attorney to accept every cause that may
be offered. We belong to that class who
felt that the welfare of the many is rath-
er to be consulted than individual sue
cess, and that the claims of the country
as represented in the citizen are superior
to those of the attorney. 1t is certainly
the duty of every attorney who aspires to
character and reputation, not to lend
himself to an unjust cause, and to with
hold the support of his good name from
corrupt action. But let some thieving
public official with plenty of money be-
come entangled in the meshes ofthe law |;
or let some man denounce him as a
scoundrel and thief, and what is the first
thing that he does? He looks around
him for men distinguished for their vir-
tue and the integrity of their character
to aid him in his cause. 1t may be, and
we are satisfied that it has been, that
these very men had their client in their
mental vision when they spoke so elo-
quently to their fellow citizens about
1.-THE thieves, the plunderers, and the rob-
Der band, that have so long disgraced
our once proud commonwealth" Yet,
they accept the cause and for the time they
are cheek by jowl with their client, and
then set themselves to work to prove him
innocent of the very charges which they
themselves have made and which they
honestly believe to be true. 1t would be
amusing, if it were not for the demorali-
zing effect which it has, to see these men
raving before the jury about the inno-
cence Of the accused, and lending the
splendid reputation which they have
among the masses for truth and virtue in
support of his rotten character. In our
opinion this is carrying the matter too
far. Both truth and virtue imperatirely
demand of an attorney to decline any
such a cause and, unless we read the
signs amiss, the time is upon us when
public opinion will be satisfied with
nothing less.

A WOMAN WHO WANTED TO BE
HANGED.-The newspapers of Germany
are exercised over remarkable murder
trial, in which the defendant, although
confessing to having committed the muir
der, was yet proved to be innocent of the
crime. About six months ago Mrs. Anna
Thormaelen confessed to the Hamburg
authorities that she had murdered her
husband, who died April 5, 1875. Ac-
cording to her confession she had given
him morphine in the shape of self-made
pills. She further stated that in 1869
She fell in love with her fathers clerk,
Mr.. Schelenz, a druggist. But, inasmuch
as Schelenz was not yet able to support
her. he soon broke off the match; and,
in 1870, the girl married banker in
Hamburg-the late Thormaelen-with-
out loving him. Of course she was un-
happy with her husband, and she con.
cluded to poison him. She obtained
morphine, and, according to her own
confession, gave it to her husband in his
beer. He vomited it up, and was laid
up on the 9Th of April, and during the
night she made pill with four grains OF
morphine with water, and gave it to her
husband, and he died. The physician,
Who was called in before the husband
died, pronounced apoplexy the cause OF
death, and dissection of the corpse un-
necessary. So much for her confession.
The authorities arrested her, and her
trial has Just been concluded. The body
of Mr.. Thomaelen was dug up and anal,
wed. The chemists found no trace OF
morphine, but gave as their opinion that
Thormaelen could have died of morphine,
and vet it might be impossible to prove
it so long after death. The evidence was
heard and the prisoners counsel-who,
by the way, was retained against her
nrotest-showed that Mrs. Thormaelen,
after the death of her husband, went to
visit a clergyman, to whom she confessed
the murder of her husband. Neverthe'
less the jury found that Mr.. Thormaelen
had not come to his death by poison at
all. and Mrs. Thormaelen was discharged
from custody. 1t was shown that her
husbands death had preyed 30 iercely
npon the mind of this unfortunate wo.
man that she imagined herself guilty Of
his murder. With her natural desire fol
romantic fame, with her craving for i'm,
aginary sufferings, she finally considered

How TO GET EARLY ToMAToEs.-As
soon as your tomato plant has made four
leaves, pinch the top bud from the stem,
then take up the plant, pinch off two
inches from the tap root and transplant
in common box frame, where the soil is
rich and loamy. The box will keep of
the wind, and plants sown and grown
there eighteen inches apart will produce
fruit two weeks sooner than the same
planted in the open ground: A mat of q
few boards spread over the frame at night,
will keep them from the frost, and is far
easier and quicker than going over field
nightly and setting boxes over each hill.
AS soon as the plants have set fruit on
two blossoms of each branch, and the top
has grown two to four leaves, the pinch
ing off the ends of each branch and top
should be again put in practice.
