A Beautiful Sentiment,

Shortly before his departure for India,
the lamented Heber preached a sermon
which contained this beautiful sentiment,
Lie bears us on like the stream of q
mighty river. Our boat giides down the
narrow channel-through the playful mur
muring ofthe little brook, and the winding
of its grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our young heads, the flowers
on the brink seem TO offer themselves 10 our
young hands; we are happy in hope, and
grasp eagerly at the beauties around us
but the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in youth
and manhood is along a wilder food, amid
objects more striking and magnificent We
are animated at the moving pictures of en-
ioyment and industry passing Us. We are
excited at some short-ived disappoint-
ment The stream bears us on, and our
joys and griefs are alike left behind us.
| We may be shipwrecked, we cannot be de-
! layed; whether rough or smooth, the river
| bastens to lis home, till the roar of the
/ ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the
waves is beneath our feet, and the land les
| sens from our eyes, and the floods are lifted
around us and we take our leave of earth
/ and It's inha bitants, until of our further
voyage there is no witness save the Infinite
and Eternal"

PatroniZe Your NeigbbOrs.

The growth of a neighborhood, village
or town is simply the aggregated improve
ment Of its individual members. If every
citizen would give the preference TO the
people of his own town in his OUTLAWS,
quite an addition might be made to the
borhooa. Paironize your own village
black ksnitb, carriage-maker, mechanic and
store keeper; help each other along; culti-
vAts pride in the progress and thrifty ap
pearance of your own community; cast out
tina. selfish jealousy in neighbor's pros
perity. There is sufficient. com mpetition in
every calling to keep prices as low as can
be afforded, and in nothing can the Patrons
of Industry exercise more benign lntiu-
ence than in the encouragement OF a broth
erhood in neighborhood trade and patron
age. 1t is the mutual interests of all TO
have the largest possible number of busy
prosperous men in each community. A
successful man soon shows his success In
his surroundings; he paints his house,
erects new fences, sets out shade trees, pre-
pares flower plot for his wife, improves
his land and culture, every item of which
change necessitate outlay of money and la
| Dor. These Improvements noiionly benefit
the fortunate protector, but add to the
character and appearance of the whole
village, attract the attention and admira-
ton of every stranger who enters the place,
| induce new families to move into the town,
and best Of all stimulate the neighbors To
a rivalry in the same line of improving
their surroundings. Let every patron de.
termine, for the coming year, TO patronize
his neighbors, and watch the good effect or
the whole community

Skilled Labor.

When you bring me something I cannot
do without, you command my money; my
money does not command you. Labor and
capital is a false distinction. Labor is capi-
tai Brain power is capital. Is not an
editor capitalist? The note -of-hand of
the New York Tribune is as good paper as
can be found on Wall or State streets is ex-
cellent secarity for deposit. If90 per cent.
OF business men fail, why should the skill
ed mechanic be SO anxious to enter their
ranks? If women are less successful than
men in many pursuits, is it not that women
begin, but men go on? Let woman prove
herself capable of her own support, and
then all hail for the new Declaration of
Independence. Are rich parents able to
provide for her? Rich to day is often poor
to morrow; but an industrial education is
inalienable capital. Employers make it
skilled? | doubt if capital, so called, be as
happy as labor. Labor more than study
will keep down morbid fancies and does
poverty alone break the law? is the Com
mune or the International more hostile
than the political, military, railway ring?
We cannot suppress crime by law. If we
try to legislate drunkenness out of society,
how do we succeed? If we shut up dram
shops, forbid the importation or sale of
liquors, but, as Father Taylor said all the
alcohol in cave and roll planet to the
door of it, yet shall we find the appetite
not dead or subdued, an evil angel of hor-
ribe resurrection, ready to roll away the
stone, and sitting upon it to mock us. We
shall never regenerate society till labor
ceases to be irksome, is rid of its ban, and
lesses It's burden in blessing. To labor will
be to enjoy, when labor is combined with
defines, and enjoyment is born of activity.
This state of things will come by the same
train with Industrial Education, and
Health will also be passenger. Peace will
reign, too, in the good time coming. The
North was 10th to fight, because it was dill
gent and rich; the South willing because
lazy and poor. Riches are an ant-hill which
tho hoof of battle will crush; and the power
oflabor to increase values is proved by the
comparative prices of piece of iron as
crude metal, as nails, as needles, and as
watch springs. All hail to material sci
ence! Give her line without limit. She will
never hang herself or us with the rope
Her mortal steps lead to Immortality; and
her resurrection is of no one dead body
but of myrads into loftier forms; ten thou
sand Eliiahs go up in her chariot of fire.

A Mad Dog Story.

The Hartford (Connecticut) Times, says
the friends of ex Policeman John Holden,
who, since he left Hartford has resided in
Palmer, Massachusetts, will be interested
to hear of an adventure of his with mad
dog. 1t happened last week. while Mr..
Holden's wife was visiting her friends in
this City. and it came near proving a
tragedy, in which be and his little boy
one or both-would have figured as the
victims. Knowing that a mad dog was at
large, and that he had bitten other dogs,
Mr.. Holden was not willing to let his lit
tie boy go to school alone. and went with
him. On the way, he saw the dog coming
on a run, and foaming and swapping as he
came. Being unarmed even with stick,
and remembering that mad dogs are said
to keep right on and not turn aside Ia great
error Mr. Holden ran with his boy into a
lane or passage off the main road, hoping
the rabid animal would keep the road. In
this he was mistaken. The dog rushed af-
ter them, determined to bite. 1t was a
perilous moment, and the issue was proba-
bly, life or death-and there was not mo-
ment to lose. Placing his boy behind him,
Mr. Holden resolutely awaited the on set
of the rabid creature. Just as the dog,
foaming and gnashing his teeth, was in the
very act of springing upon him, Mr.. Hold

his naked fist, given at the right critical
second of time and planted we'll in the side
of the head, laid the furious creature sense.

weapons, soon arrived, and the dog was

Ruins Of Carthage.

Mr.. Robertson, q Scotch gentleman,
writes as follows Of recent visit to the
site of ancient Carthage:
Landing st the little town of Golet,a.
which is the port Of Tunis, and distant
from it about ten miles, put up at the ho-
tel there, kept by an Italian. A wide bat
shallow lagoon stretches out toward the
modern City on the left, with which COM
municasion is kept up By trains which run
at intervals during the day. A mile or two
out from the station, on a wide plateau, we
come upon the foundations of q wall some
three feet in thickness. Following this for
three miles, we come to some plowed
ground, covered with fragments of broken
marble columns, with here and there a
heap Of ruins fast crumbling TO decay
Seated among these, We contemplate the
history Of City which was once the rival
of Rome, and towards which the eyes of the
civilized world were turned Here Han

BUYING 4 WIFE.
Five Thousand Dollars Bonus for
Rib

A story from Liberty, Ind, which would
he net surprising if located in some por-
tions of the Old World, but is almost in
credible in this country. 1t is case of the
downright purchase of wife, through the
agency of a middle-man, and the wedding
has been duly celebrated.
The principles in this affair are Mr..
VIM. Smith, wealthy farmer and me-
chanic, and Miss Phebe johns, a lady
about seventeen years of age and weighing
about 275 pounds, both living about three
miles east of Liberty. Mr.. Smith is abont
seventy years of age, demented, deaf, and Of
most unpromising appearance. His wife,
the only known relative living, died about
two years since, and the old man has been
living alone on his farm. Not long ago he
offered to pay to any one who would get
him wife the sum of $1,000 Mr. Powell
Slade, with whom Miss Johns was living as
servant girl, hearing of this offer, began
negotiations with the girl and also her
father, Wash. Johns The father in con-
sideration of $4,000 to him in hand paid,
gave his consent. Phehe agreed 10 marry
Mr.. Smith provided her wedding clothes
were furnished her, grand supper be Civ
en-, and that the old man would give her a
| deed for his farm Of 200 acres A meeting
was arranged at the Indiana House, in this
city, where everything was satisfactorily
| fixed. Last Tuesday night the marriage
was performed. A magnificent supper was
spread, and music and dancing were the
order of the night About 100 guests were
present, some of whom went from the town
of Liberty.

The Whipping-POst.

In an article referring to a proposition
before the California Legislature for the
establishing of the whipping pos. in that
State, the Cincinnati Commercial remarks
as follows:
It is curious 10 note, by the way, tie
numerous expressions it favor of the re-
viVal of the whipping post. There is bill
now before the Illinois Legislature for its
establishment in that State for the particu-
lar benefit OF wife beaters. It has been re-
commended in other States as a sure cure
for tramping. In Delaware its efficacy is
testified to by the officers of the law in the
suppressing of many minor evils, such as
thieving, vagabondsge, drunkenness, &c
The State, compared with others, is re-
markably free from small rogues and
worthless characters. and this exemption is
attributed to the dread of the lash. And
now in California it is believed it would
utterly exterminate the hoodlumS inside of
three months. Perhaps work house would
answer the same purpose; hut the whip
ping post is less expensive, and is urged on
the score of economy

The Season for Pruning.

1t ia now admitted by all who have Civ
en- attention to the subject, and it is in ac-
cordance with both theory and practice,
that to favor a free growth of the shoots
and leaves, pruning should be performed
while the tree is dormant or leafless. On
the other hand, to check growth, and to
promote fruitfulness, the pruning should
be done on the tree in leaf and growing
We know of no cultivators who dissent
from these truths. 1t is commonly admit
ted also, that summer pruning favors a
speedy healing of the wounds.
Each season, therefore, has its peculiar
advantages. Unless the trees have supera-
bundant vigor, the pruning should not be
done after the buds begin to swell. Win
ter may be better than early spring for
hardy trees by allowing the freshly cut
faces to dry and close the sap pores before
the commencement of growth. But as
cutting away branches always makes trees
more susceptible to the effects of cold, the
work should not be performed much be-
fore spring on half tender trees. Pruned at
this season of the year, they are not check
ed in growth, as when the work is done in
the summer when the tree must lose por.
ton of its leaves and becomes thus sudden.
ly checked in the performance Of its func
tions.
Pruning in summer, or while the tree il
in leaf and growing, may be practiced if il
vigorous condition, and but small por
tion is cut away at time. There can b,
no harm at any season in removing sin
gle misplaced shoot. A better way is +,
rub of needless shoots as they are starting
or to pinch off the ends to prevent extend
ing, as this is not attended with large los
of leaves. If trees grow too fast to bear,
general pInching over the head, or sum
mer thinning of the shoots of the Who'll
tree, will tend to induce fruit secont
year.

Theology and Christianity.

When will the World understand that
theology is not Christianity One is hui
man, the other divine When will the
World understand that nothing is truer
than truth; and that truth is no more sac
red when it comes to us through verbal re
velation than when established upon un-
impeachable evidence? Again and again,
in the history of the World, have theolog-
ical dogmas gone down before il truth of
science. That which men have believed
through their Interpretation of revealed
truth, has not been able to stand moment
before the scientific demonstration of its
falsity. Theologians have fought against
it, and they have been invariably driven to
the wall. Truth wherever found, is sacred,
because it is truth, and had its birth in
God. Mans opinions of truth are never
sacred, because they have their birth in his
imperfect and fallible reason. We know
of no reason why theogical dogma is any
more sacred than political dogma. We
can not understand why, in the interest OF
Christianity, it may not be as freely DIS
cussed and examined and controversial, as
a dogma in political economy. At any rate,
we propose to do it whenever we have oc-
casion. We are happy to believe that the
World is beginning to apprehend that, af-
ter all our disputes and discussions upon
dogmatic Christianity, religion consists OF
love to God and love to man, and has its
final result and grand consummation in
character Scribner's Monthly.
