far out of London, furnished very like a

THE WATER MILL"

4A@A w n a 6AS hAAA'
Listen TO the water mill
All the livclong day z
How the clicking Of the wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs tho greenwood leaves
From the field the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves;
And a memory DER my mind
AS spell is cast;
The mill never will grind
With the water that is past.
Take the lesson TO yourself,
Loving heart ard true;
Golden years are fleeting by:
Youth is passing too.
Strive TO make the most Of life,
Lose no happy day
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept away.
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while love shali last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man Of thought and will;
Never does The strsamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not till to-morrow's sun
Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own
Lies in Mis-to-day.
Power, intellect and health
May not always last
The mill cannot grind
With the water that 10 past.

AS is well known the venerable Sec
rotary of the Navy received his nautical
education on an Indiana farm. Some
body wrote him, the other day, asking
the regulation size for a hatchway. His
answer was that that would depend alto

the number Of eggs put under her,

she called on some one to read it 10 her.
He accordingly began to road--"Dear

THE FAMrLY.--Tbe family is the edu-
Gator of the race. Here men and women
are made. What they are in the world,
they were in the family as children. The
family is the place where first the lessons
Of law are received, and where the whole
character in view of law has direction
given it, The citizen is made in tho
family long before the time for voting
and activity has come. When Napoleon
said, in answer to Madame de Staels
question about frances greatest need,
Mothers" he asserted the all-potent
influence of true life. The family is
the greatest means for the development
Of character. What a world docs il pre-
sents for the affections to abide in Where
in all the world besides arc sympathies
so warm, love SO pure and fervent as
here? All that gives value or beauty to
human character finds in the family at
once an atmosphere in which to expand
and develop the elements which shall
bring it to the highest perfection.

Let us suppose case. A., owns a
1arm worth $4,000 and B. has ST.
900 in money. Now, A. borrows
BIS money, giving him a mortgage
on his farm, and with it pays for
building house for himself. The
assessor, in making his rounds, finds
A. in possession of a new house
worth So, 900, and now assesses his
farm at So, 900; he, also, finds the mort
gage in BIS hands and he puts that
down for taxation at $4,000. Here
IS $4,000 in place Of the IS, 200.
Now, will our neighbor please tell US
how it happens that AS act of build
ing So, 900 house has created ST.
900 worth of property? It's not
palpable that the system involves
double taxation?
One word more. In Our article
we asserted principle of commerce,
that is, that money lenders will CON-
pei borrowers to pay the tax. Is it
true, that SO far as existing mortgages
are concerned this may not be SO.
The lenders, we suppose, will have to
pay this out of their own pockets.
But i'll making new loans they will
be careful to provide against like
future contingency, and will make
good this amount and much more in
a very little while. Instead, then, of
the law operating advantageously to
borrowers, is it not obvious that its
effects will be decidedly detrimental
to them. 1t will, however, be favor
able to unembarrassed property own
ers, in that it will create enormous
fictitious values for taxation and, by
largely increasing the aggregates on
the assessment rolls, reduce the ratio
of taxation very materially. In this
way, it will be decidedly beneficial to
those have no need to borrow, but
the benefits they reap will be at the
expense Of necessitious mortgagors,

IS an honorable gentleman and good
lawyer and we would be happy to
see him elected to this position. But
why not give Mr.. Wilson another

The excitement incident to the
strikes Of the railroad employees and
the attendant riots, have afforded &C.

to give utterance to many wild and
reprehensible expressions, and the
large newspapers of the cities are

ing men who originated the strikes.
Every sensible man understands that
this is an injustice, but the most fer
vid and frenzied of these speeches
are matched by the sweeping and
bitter denunciations and impractical
bic suggestions of those who have es-
poused the other side of this question,
and when they come to compare
notes, neither party will find them
selves entitled to accuse their oppo-
nents Of foolishness.

Hasty Conclusions.

One of the most injurious practices
of the people of this age is their habit
of forming hasty conclusions. A the
DRY is promulgated, a pro- position
submitted, or plan suggested, and
instantly, almost, the majority Of
minds form opinions concerning the
matter and proceed to act upon them.
TO read over the laws which have,
from time to time, been passed by
the legislatures of our States and by
Congress, and to study up the histo-
ny Of their enactments and their ef-
fects upon the country is both inter-
esting and instructive, we might al
most add amusing. We were on
the point Of writing an article upon
this topic, when we were startled by
hearing gentleman, who was dis
cussing the railroad strike, declare
that the rioters ought to be shot
down without hesitation or mercy.
This turned the channel of our
thoughts somewhat and we waited
to hear him out
He declared, first, that a resort
to mob violence is never justifable
under any possible combination Of
circumstances. We supposed that
he had forgotten all that part Of his
country's history which relates the
incidents of the Inauguration of the
revolutionary war; all about the "tea-
party" in Boston harbor; the battles
of Lexington and Bunker Hill, ETC..
In fact, we were forced to conclude
that he had read history to very lit
tie advantage, for there has hardly
ever been an instancesof people es-
Gaping from the thralldom of oppres-
sion, whose efforts did not begin
with "mob violence" Mobism is
the usual, natural, and, except in
some extraordinary cases, the only
means which. an oppressed people
can make available for asserting their
rights and regaining their liberties.
| Nearly all the political revolutions
the world ever experienced originated
in mobs, and popular resort to deeds
of violence were far oftener justifable
than otherwise. -,..- ...s..... So
He who denounces mobs unqual-
ifedly only demonstrates that it is
his habit to form opinions from su-
perfcial examination of the subjects
demanding his attention. Mobs are
very often justifable, and even the
destruction of property, which is apt

In the Colorado Desert,

This is the story to illustrate the posi-
bilities of the Colorado Desert: "Some
three years ago a wandering home hun
ter, having sold out his rude homestead
in Los Angeles county, rugged up team
with good supply of yearling nursery
trees, seeds, etc, intending to go to
Arizona, with his wife and two children.
His way was through this desert. Rest
ing one day to recruit his horses where a
few bushes offered browsing, his children
amused themselves digging hole. The
mother noticed that the loan sand was
moist. In a few minutes she drove a
crowbar down four feet below the hole
and struck water A wisp of straw in
serted brought up by capillary attraction
enough to prove the water good and to
quench thirst. Next day they dug a
well and at six feet found water plenty
on the third day. If this miserable soil
would grow anything we might squat
here, said they. While debating green
spot appeared. 1t was the horses oats
and hay seed which, with spilled water
had grown to lively green on the fourth
day. Where oats and grass grow every
thing will grow; let us pitch our tent
right here And they did so. Very
rude culture, with water, gave them in
sixty days vegetable enough to support
them for year. From this rude begin
ming see now, August, 1877, how quickly
industry with trifing coin can realize a
luxuriant home in climate which
knows no winter, and where vegetable
growth is as active in December as in
beaches b and drf2dX balanhass nhs h1 Italia clover he
cuts every month. Stacks of hay, cows,
sheep, pigs and fowl make it look like a
rich farm long established.

The Use of the Lemon,

As wriser in the London Lancet re-
marks, few people know the value of
lemon Juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon corn will cure it in few days; it
should be renewed night and morning.
A free use of lemon juice and sugar will
always relieve a cough. Most people
feel poorly in the spring, but if they
would eat lemon before breakfast every
day for a week-with or without sugar,
as they like-they would find it better
than any medicine. Lemon juice used
according to this recipe will sometimes
cure consumption: Put dozen lemons
into cold water and slowly bring to a
boil; boil slowly until the lemons are
soft, but not to soft, then squeeze until
all the juice is extracted, add sugar to
your taste, and drink. In this way use
one dozen lemons a day. If they cause
pain, or loosen the bowels too much, les
sen the quantity and use only five or six
day until you are better, and then be-
gin again with dozen a day. After
using five or six dozen, the patient will
begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold
freely several weeks more. Another use
of lemons is for refreshing drink in
summer, or in sickness at any time. Pre-
pare as directed above and add water and
sugar. But in order to have this keep
well, after boiling the lemons, queeze
them and strain carefully; then to every
half pint of juice add one pound of loaf
or crushed sugar, boil and stir few min
utes more until the sugar is dissolved,
skim carefully, and bottle. You will
get more juice from the lemons by boil
ing them, and the preparation keep bet
rte
