More watches are spoit by irregular and
hasy winding up than by most other eau
ses. The operation should, if possible, be
performed regularly, and always with a
sLea " and uniform motion, not moving
both hands, and nearly as practicable at the
same hour daily. A watch should always
be kept at the same temperature; lett over
night on stone surface it is sure to gain,
or, if the oil gets thickened it may stop, to
be started again by the warmth of the

are, that the case, whether of gold or sill

So long as men drink temperately, men
will drink intemperately, whether it ought
10 be otherwise or not. If the experience
of the lust century has demonstrated any
ching, it is that total abstinence is the only
ground on which my well-wisher of So
Giely can stand. The liquor traffic has
been bolstered up for years, and is slrong
to-day, simply through influence which is
deemed respectable. 1t must be made in
famous by tho combination of all the res
pectable elements Of society against it. 1t
must cease TO be respectable TO drink Mt
all. 1t must cease to be respectabse to rent
building in which liquors are sold, There
is no practicable midule ground. -Dr, d.

SOCIAL LIFE.-Any great movement for
good in social life begins at home. 1t be-
gins with fathers and mothers. The first
and highest duty is to make home cheerful
and attractive. Husband and wife must
do this for each other. Without this, their
mutual affection will dry up. If they have
children, it is their duty to make home
sweet and precious to them. Children
with good homes seldom 80 to the bad.
Girls who have learned to trust their moth
ur, in their whole round Of thought, sell
dom get talked about. Boys who are made
10 feel the strength of a fathers and the
tenderness of u mothers love, seldom run
wild. Their natural love of fun and mis-
chief does not bind them over to the devils
service. Pleasant, cheerful, bright homes
then, are the great demand. They may
be poor, but they can still be pleasant ant
attractive and good. The heart and spiri
ara more than furniture and dwelling.

BUNNY AT MALVERN HILL.



IN Incident Of Battle Vcr8Jfed bv Bret Hart
From llarper's Weekly,l
Bunny, lying in the grase,
Saw the shining columns pass,
Saw the starry banner fly,
Saw the chargers fret and fume,
Saw the llapplng hat and plume;
Saw them with his moist and shy,
Most mspeculative eye,
Thinking only, in the dew,
That it was fine review
Till fash, not all of steel,
Where tho rolling calsson's wheel
Brought rum lie and a roar
Rolling down that velvet floor,
And like blows Of autumn flml
Snarply lhrushe the iron hail.
Bunny thrilled by unknown fears,
Raised his soft and pointed ears,
Mumbled his prehensile lip,
Quiveled his pulsallng hip,
As the sharp vlndictive yell
Rose above the screaming shell;
Thought The world AMI al its men,
All the charging squadrOns meant,
all were rabbll-hunters then,
All to capture him intent.
Bunny was not much TO blame:
Wiser folk, who think they spy
Every III begins with /" -
Wildly painting here and there
Bunny sought the ireer air,
Till he hopped below the hill,
And saw, lying close and still.
Men with muskets in their hands.
Never bunny under tands
That hypocrisy Of sleep,
In the vIglls grim they keep,
As recumbeut on that spot
They eluded the level shot)
One-a grave and quiet man,
Thu king of his vile and child
Far beyond the ltapidan,
Where The AndrOscoggln smiled
Felt the little rabbit creep,
Nesting by his arm and side.
Weakened from strategic sleep,
TO that soft appeal replied,
Drew him to his blackened breast,
And
But you have guessed the rest
Softly o'er that chosen pair
Omniprcsent Love and Care
Drew mighticr Hand and Arm
shielding them from every harm;
Right and lett the bullets waved,
Saves the savior for the saved.
Whc believes that equal grace
God extends in every place,
Little difference he scans

CALEDONIA, HoUsToN Co., MINI, }
October Sth, 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Piease excuse my long
delay in writing to the FREEMAN from this
locality, and accept us my excuse that l
was waiting for the return of our harvest
which, thanks to Providence, has been
bountiful; so that now can report every
thing favorable for our section Of the state
and indeed might say favorable for the
entire state. We have been highly favored
the scourge of grasshoppers having left
us, and all portions of the country have
reaped IN abundant harvest. For this
county will say, that though we have not
had rs large II yield rs in some more west
ern portions of the state, we are perfectly
satisfied with our demonstrating received
from eighteen to twenty bushels per acre
of wheat, and other crops are equally
good.
About two weeks will complete the
threshng that yet remains to be done.
The yield is u little less than in the adoin-
ing counties west, where the land has not
been cropped so long, and is less broken
than in Houston county. The quality,
however, is good, and ut the present prices
a large amount viii be marketed this
fall.
The wheat crop Of this state amounts TO
about forty millions of bushels, which will
leave MS for export about thirty millions Of
bushels. Asan item, we quote tic follow
ing paragraph from our county paper:
$50 far us threshing has been done, the
wheat crop in Minnesota exceeds the best
estimates of farmers. As an illustration,
one farmer refused to pay S2l for thrcsh-
ing his wheat, deeminS it too much. He
had it threshed by the bushel, and paid
$27. 60, there being 400 bushels more than
he estimated. Another farmer consider
ing n forty acre field not worth harvesting,
offered it to q neighbor if he would give
MIN the straw, which offer was accepted,
and the result was 400 bushels of wheat to
the purchaser
Thus you SEQ we have every reason to
be content.
FIRE.
A fire broke ont in our village on Friday
morning last, which did much damage to
small town like ours, Loss from $4,000
to $4,000. Very liltles esinsuranco.

The human heart is like II milestone in
II mill; when you put wheat under II, it
turns and grinds and bruises the wheat
into flour; if you put no wheat into it, it
still grinds on, but then it is itself it grinds
and slowly wears away.

To those Of our fellow. citizens who
have wavered in their allegiance to the
party which has been the constant
champion of American labor, we ap-
peal for a critical judgment of the in
sincerity of the professions of those
agitatOrs in the Democratic party who,
claiming to represent labor, have uni
formly betrayed it at the polls. In
Ohio, as on former occasions, the only
honest adherents Of the so. called "side
issues" were drawn from the Republi-
can ranks. Deceived by false protes-
tations and betrayed by an insincere
alliance they have not aided their own
cause, but have placed the garlands of
victory at the feet Of their worst enc.
mics. The lesson of Ohio should teach
the avoidance of so fatal a blunder in
Pennsylvania.
The Republican voters of the State
must recognize their duty and go
promptly to its discharge. We call
upon you to net in your townships and
wards. The work to bo done is to poll
the Republican vote; it is your work
and must be accomplished by active
and earnest effort.
