INTEREST. is the worm that
grows increasingly into their vitals of
industry. It Outnumbers the grasshOp-
pers on the plains. 1t consumes seven
eighths of the products of busy hands.
1t brings ruin upon thousands of enter
prises every year. Nearly every dollar
in circulation is drawing interest from
somebody, and the little that does not
is being withdrawn by evil-doers to
give place to that which will. The
largest proportion of titled lands are in
tested with interest. Towns, cities,
counties, States, and even the nation,
all are drained by interest. The great
mass of busy people, and all the homes
that are mOrtgaged, are victims of this
Unsuitable worm-interest! 1t is the
greatest curse entailed upon labor in
our age and civilization. To get rid of
it should exercise the best energies of
every lover of his race, every patriot to
his country. The vicious schemes
through which it fastens itself upon all
public enterprises should be opposed.
Our industries are nearly strangled,
millions of our countrymen are impov-
erished and dependent, aud our very
national existence is seriously endan-
gered by this curse of curses-this
scourge of the land-interest. Keep
yourself ever free from its fangs, if you
would enjoy the products of your own
labor and enterprise.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-08-24

REMEDY FOR TROUBLE. Work is
your true remedy. If misfortune hits
you hard, you hit something else hard
pitch into something with a will.
There's nothing like good, solid, alb
sOrbing, exhausting work to cure
trouble. If you have met with losses,
you don't want to lie awake and think
about them. You want sleep-calm,
sound sleep-and to eat your dinner
with appetite. But you can't, unless
you work. If you say you don't feel
like work, and go loafng all day to tell
Dick and Harry the story of your woes,
you'll lie awake and Keep your wife
awake by your tossing, spoil your tenn
per and your breakfast the next morn
ing, and begin tomorrow feeling ten
times worse than you do to-day. There
are some great troubles that only time
can heal, and, perhaps, some that never
can be healed at all; but all can be
helped by the great panacea, work. Try
it, you who are afflicted. It is not
patent medicine. 1t has proved its eff
cheney since first Adam and Eve left be-
hind them, with weeping, the beautiful
Eden. 1t is an efficient remedy. All
good physicians in regular standing
prescribe it in cases of mental and
moral disease. 1t operates kindly as
we'll, leaving no disagreeable seQueLe,
and we assure you that we have taken
large quantity of it with most beneficial
results. 1t will cure more complaints
than any nOstrum in the nlGteriG med
icG, and comes nearer to being ''cure-
alp than any drug or compound of
drugs in the market. And it will not
sicken you if you do not take it sugar
coated.

THE ART OF LIVING TOGETHER
l. If people are to live happily together,
they must not fancy, because they are
thrown together now, that all their
lives have been exactly similar up to
the present time; that they started ex-
actly alike; and that they are to be for
the future exactly of the same mind.
2. Avoid having stock subjects of dis
putation.
3. Do not hold too much to logic, and
suppose that everything is to be settled
by sufficient reason.
4. If you would be loved as compan-
ion, avoid unnecessary criticism upon
those with whom you live.
5. Let not familiarity swallow up all
courtesy.
6. We must not expect more from the
society of our friends and companions
than it can give; and, especially, must
not expect contrary things.

THE VEST POCKETs.-A young man
from one of the suburban districts was
in one of our tailor shops getting meas
ured for vest the other afternoon.
married or unmarried ?n queried the
merchant, after taking down the num-
Der.
"Unmarried," said the young man,
with blush.
'Inside pocket on the left hand side,
then" observed the tailor, as if to him
self, making a memorandum to that
effect.
After a moments pause, the young
man from the suburbs inquired:
"What difference does my being mar
ried or unmarried make with the inside
pocket of the vest ?"
"Ah, my dear sir" observed the tai
lor, with bland smile, "all the differ
euce possible, as you must see. Being
unmarried, you want the pocket on the
left side, so as to bring the young lady's
picture next to your heart"
"But don't the married man also
want his wife's picture next to his
?" queried the anxious youth.
POSSIBLY there is an instance of that
| kind,n said the tailor, archiug his eye
brOws, "but | never heard of it,"

Irish custom of drinking whisky and

sister city, Georgetown, has just discov-
cred that she has no ordinance prohib-

She processes to be perfect pattern of

Miss Elizabeth Johnston Ellis, the
only woman in the last class which
graduated at Wesleyan, who was elected
class-poet and then really forced to re-
sign, has found a good opportunity to
demonstrate her ability. Walter S.
Carter, ESQ.,, of New York, formerly of
Hartford, established an annual prize Of
the value of 800 for excellence in the
close, thorough, critical study of Eng,
lish literature. The essays are submit
ted anonymously. There was a vigor-
Gus competition in this years classes,
but Miss Ellis essay was adjudged
clearly the best. She has accepted an
invitation to a place as teacher in the
female college at Wellesley, at a salary
of $500 and board.

The Gatling gun in use by the troops
upon the frontier is described as a small
field piece, usually transported on a car
riage constructed for the purpose. 1t
has four chambers or barrels, and is con-
structed so as to revOlve and fire a
charge with each revolution. 1t is
charged with ball cartridge, and in an
open field battle may be made to do
great execution. 1t is different from a
mountain howitzer in that it has more
than one bore, and is smaller in calibre,
carrying a ball but little if any larger
than a musket, while the howitzer has
but one bore and is used principally for
firing shells.

William H. Vanderbilt, of New York,
receives quarterly 81 10000 as interest
and dividends upon stock and bond Sc
curities. Upwards of six millions an
nually, of which S4,OOO,0OO accrue from
the bonds and stock of the New York
Central Railroad. This is the largest
income received by any one in the
United States, and possibly in the
world. So vast total income is be-
lieved to be, by those who have good
means of knowing, without parallel,
except in the case of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
father, the commodore, who at times
realized even larger income than
$1,000, 900. AS was the case with the
commodore, the son invests these divi-
dends and interests in the same securi-
ties, or those equally good, avoiding
real estate and other sources of revenue,
no matter how tempting for the mo-
ment the offer may seem. This is one
of the railroad kings who cannot afford,
lowing to the times" to pay fair COM
pensation to employees. 1t is comfort
to know that such persons must event
ually be entombed, just like other men.

1t is high time that the entire press of
the United States should join in urging
needed legislation, instead of using
terms of reproach when referring to such
men as are going from place to place
anxiously seeking employ whereby
they can gain livelihood for them
selves and their families. To refer to
any honest man as a tramp, and to ad-
vocate his determination, is bad busi-
ness, and must necessarily bear bad
fruit-EI

Twenty years have made marked
change in the character of German lit
erature. A score of years ago theologi-
cal works formed a fourth part of it,
and now only tenth part of the books
are of that class. Books on natural sci
ence and technology have increased as
the others have decreased.

Chattel slavery has been abolished,
but the rights and relations of labor
stand Just where they did before the
emanci patton, in respect to the division
of the products. The difference lies in
the method of abstracting the results
and concentrating them in the hands of
a few capitalists.-ALer. Campbell.
