In that gentle breast was beating.
Tomorrow L IL rise with giants strength
To follow my daily labor:
But ere We sleep let us humbly pray
For our wretched next-duor ueighbor:
And We II pray for the time when all shall be FIRE,
From the weight of the debtor collar
When the poorest will lift his voice and cry.

A NEW DIsH.-A. f. G., of Detroit,
gives to the Free Press a method for
cooking oysters which, she says, she
never saw in print. Take mashed po-
tatoes which have been left over from
the previous meal (although that is not
strictly necessary, mix Il canful of oys-
tiers with the potatoes, and, with a
knife, cut the mass up fine. Add one.
half pound of powdered crackers. Fix
off with butter, pepper and salt and
moisten the whole with oyster-juice.
Take little pats of this, roll them in
powdered cracker crumbs and fry till
brown, in butter, and the result, when
served warm, is delicious.

saves in trifles. For instance, one saves in

he was a man Of distinguished ability
aud power, and a most formidable
opponent in debate. Able aud agrees
sive, no wonder he created enc

But be is dead. His faults and his vir.
tues are matters of history, and not even
his bitterest enemy would refuse to place
the flower of forgiveness upon bis grave,
and to honor him as a representative
American statesman. Senator Morton
was bora in Wayne county, Ind. August
A, 1923. In 1852 he was elected circuit
judge Of the Fifth judicial circuit in
that State; be was chosen lieutenant
governor in 1860. and became governor
in 1861, upon Governor Lanes election
to the senate; il 1864 be was elected

Albert brisbane and socialism

Albert Brisbane, having sold
nearly all his property in this coun.
try, is about to sail for Europe,
whence, in all probability, he will
never return. Brisbane is a strange
character. While travelling on the
Continent, a young man of fortune,
he, nearly forty years ago, became
acquainted with Fourierism. He
accepted this peculiar form of So
cialism with a zeal that time has
not been able to quench nor the
dropping off of old friends damp.
He thought he saw how the mil
lennium was to be brought about
at once, and he set himself to the
task of propagation. He was the
most efficient worker in the Social
ist cause previous to 1850, and his
appeals brought into existence a
