The Ant and Cricket.
A silly young cricket, accustomed to sing
Through the warm sunny months of gay sum.
mer and spring,
Began to complain when lie found that at home
His cupboard was empty and winter had come.
Not crumb to be found
On the snow-covered ground;
Not flower could he see,
Not leaf on tree
- Oh! what will become" saws the cricket.
"of me ?"
At last by starvation and famine made bold,
All dripping with wet and all trembling with
cold,
Away he set of to misery ant,
To see If, TO keep him alive, he would grant
Him shelter from rain,
A mouthfull of grain
He wished only to borrow
He'd repay it tomorrow;
If not, he must die of starvation and sorrow.
Says the ant TO the cricket: "I'm your servant
and friend;
But we ants never borrow we ants never lend,
But tell me, dear sir, did you lay nothing by
When the weather was warm?" Said the cricket
Not /!
My heart was 80 light,
That sang day and night
For all nature looked gay,''
You sang, sir, you say?

And out oflhe door turned the poor little cricket,

There is nothing derogatory in any
employment which ministers to the well
being of the race. The plowman that
turns the elod may be a Cincinnatus or
a Washington, or he may be a brother
of the clod he turns. Its in every way
creditable to handle the yard stick, and to
measure tape; the only discredit con-
sists in having a soul whose range of
thought is as short as the stick and as
narrow as the tape. There is no glory
in the act of affixing a signature by
which trea ;ures of commerce are trans
ferred, or treaties between nations are
ratified; the glory consists in the recti-
tude of the purpose that approves the
IL and the grandeur OF the philanthro-
ny that sanctiies the other. The time
is soon coming, the Chicago Journal OF
Commerce thinks, when, by the CON-
mon consent of mankind, it will be es-
tened more honorable to have been

full souls into the ragged children of the
neighborhood, while he mended their
fathers shoes, than to have been set on

1t appears that the preachers also are
suffering from the hardness of the
times, and are in many places having
their salaries largely reduced. A real
ly doleful account of the situation in
which many of them are placed is Civ
en- in the Port Jervis GAZETTE. The
Methodists in the Pennsylvania town
of Milford are not to have a regular
preacher at all this year, because they
cannot support him. A large number
of the churches of the Newark N. j.
Methodist Conference are ur able to pay
the salaries demanded by the preachers.
From other localities it is reported that
churches feel compelled to ask the
privilege of doing without regular
preaching for a year or so. Such re-
ports are coming in from many parts of
the country. Well, what are the preach
ers to do, when they find themselves
out of their churches, or have their
wages cut down? They cannot stand
by and see this wicked world run from
bad to worse, for the lack of preaching,
and they cannot obtain salaries which
their hearers are unable to pay. We
fear that some of them will have to do
as the early preachers of Christianity
did, when they were glad Of the privi-
lege of promulgating the Gospel on very
small incomes indeed. This, of course,
will not be so agreeable as tt e enjoy
of the fat of the land on easy
terms, but we can suggest nothing bet

= A little enterprise on the part ofthe
monied citizens of Eaton, would give
us a Shoe Mandatory in u city
and start up the old Flax Mill again.
This would give employment to many
of our industrious, but otherwise idle
mechanics, beside building up and in
creasing the prosperity and wealth of
our town. What say you, men? Let
US give these two enterprises encour-
agement in a substantial and solid
way, and help the industry and repu-
tation of our city. 1t is q universally
conceded fact that there is no branch
of business or industrial enterprise
that contributes so largely to the
growth and material prosperity of a
town or city, as we'll directed and pru-
IDENTIFY managed manufacturing estab-
lishments. They furnish employ
ment to a large number of laborers,
and labor is the capital of the labor
ing man, and like money it is attract
ed to those fields where the greatest
inducements are offered for invest
ment. The prosperity of a city is es-
timated by the increase of its number
of inhabitants more than by the in
crease in the valuation of its proper
ty. Laborers must be supplied with
food, clothing, and the other necessa-
ries of life for themselves and their
families. Thus merchants, grocers,
mechanics, and others are called in to
furnish these things, for which they
receive a part of the earnings O. these
laborers. If these observations +
correct, and we believe no II will be
found to doubt them, then it is the in
terest of every citizen to give encour-
agement to manufacturers to come a.
mong US and to lend a helping hand,
instead of standing off like q poor
"stick in the mud" throwing cold
water upon them and predicting that
"they won't pay" We are afraid
there is too much of this spirit mani
tested among US, to ever make Eaton
the city the advantages surrounding
the place deserve-too many that wrap
themselves up in their acquired
wealth, not caring a copper for any
thing beyond their own selfish graft
fcations and pleasures, and laboring
under the delusion that when they
"shufie off this mortal COLL" their
riches will go with them.

The III of reform often falls like
Brutus in the house of friends. We
would say that our statute hook has
stringent and wholesome laws, the en-
forcement of which would close the
doors of every saloon in Ohio. There
is a loss of moral force when men go
where they advise others not to, even
to argue with violators of law. Ifthey
would expend their force in a prosecu
ton of the violators of law they would
pull at the right end ofthe rope. When
the mice held a council of safety they
concluded to put a bell on the cat, but
no nous volunteered to do it. We
give little for these moral guideboards
which are always pointing the way to
others, but never go themselves. Step
to the front, gentlemen, and prove your
selves doors as well as expounders, and
the people will respect you more and
the cause will fare better. Don't do
the talking merely then shove some poor
dupe to the front to do the work, but
put your WI hands to the pillow and
overturn the foundations of. wicked
ness. If men want the law enforced
they should themselves take hold and
enforce it. People are tired of being
crusaded by a certain class, some of
whom have broken down their own
constitutions carrying water to put in
the whisky they sold years ago.
