Act from Principle.

How few persons there are whose lives
are governed entirely from principle, rather
than inclination. Even those of us who
may be endeavoring to live for high pur-
poses, come far short of our aspirations
alas! how very far short. How often do
We find our convictions of right and duty
questioning if it might not be as we'll for
us to yield to inclination, just for the time,
promising our disturbed consciences that
we will make up for the present indulgence
by more vigorous self-denial and strict at
tention to duty. Vain, fallacious reason
ing of a weak nature we can never make
up for one neglected opportunity, one mis-
spent hour, one wrong, selfish act Once
past, the opportunity unimproved, the hour
wasted. the act committed, it is beyond our
reach to recall except in thoughts of regret.
We may atone for it, but we can never
change the past Alas how painfully we
are aware of this fact Then should we all
endeavor the more earnestly to make our
lives embodiments of principle; for we all
know that, after all, the path of duty
though sometimes rugged, is not without
sweet pleasures and let US never follow
cur inclinations, if they would lead us
away from right. Then shall we be per-
mitted at the last to look back upon our
lives with satisfaction, feeling that we have
"done what We could" and that our Father
regards us with smiles of approval.

Nine Hundred Idle COnvicts.

A telegram from Columbus, Ohio, to the
Cincinnati Gazette says: "The Directors of
the Pennitentiary have just met with sig
nal failure in their efforts to contract for
the work Of 400 able-bodied convicts. Only
10 out Of 500 were taken, and they were
contracted for by Peter Hayden, for the
reason that he needed them on work now
under way, and because he could not get
along without them. P. Havden and s.
F.. Bayley & Co., bid for, and were awarded
the labor Of SO minors and cripples and
prisoners having less than one year TO serve,
making in all 80 men, all let TO the con-
tractors for AZ cents per day each. The
law provides that no bid for prison labor
shall be accepted that is below 80 cents per
day. The prison authorities last winter
notified the Legislature of the decline in
labor and the increase in prisoners, but nc
action was taken allowing the Board Of
Directors discretion in the matter. The
prison labor this year on account of the
price Of labor falling below the minimum
legal standard. Some of the Director.
talked Of letting labor at any price that
could be obtained, but after considering
the matter further, that idea was aban
doned. As many Of the unemployed mer
as can be worked 10 advantage are workin,
on the new cell building, and when that il
completed, from 800 to 900 idle men will
be on hand. The idle men are marched
out Of their cells each morning to tn
chapel. where they sit upon hard benches

Communication.

EDITOR Press In your issue of July
26th, | find the question asked: l. Is milk
a poison when INDUCED in TO excess? 2
Does the word poison have reference to
quantity or quality? 2. Do poisons assim-
ilate with the organism?
There would be some difficulty in answer
ing the above questions if We were to con.
slider them in the broad sense which they
convey.
Milk is non poisoning fluid, necessary
for the life Of all animals, and indispensa-
BILE to the life OF man. 1t is an element
which contains all the substances necessary
the most rapid period of its growth. Out
of milk, and milk alone, the young child
extracts the various substances which fur
nish muscles, nerves, bones, and all things
necessary for its rapid growth. Milk fur
nishes these in such abundance, that the
increase of growth is far greater during the
period the child is fed alone, and fed ex-
clusively on il, than at any subsequent
period of its life. Though milk does moi
furnish US with an absolute standard Of
food, Except fo- the young,) it furnishes
an approximate standard of the greatest
value. By examining its composition We

The Climate and Agricultural Prospects
Of Texas.

The climate of Texas is all that could be
desired. The summer is long and some
times uncomfortably hot, but the nights
are always cool, and the sleeper awakens
with sense of perfect rest and refreshing.
The winters are short and mild. S ow is
rarely seen upon the ground. The grass
eating animals subsist on the forest grass
without hay or grain. Most Northern
people believe Texas to be very dry
country. So it is. but the seasons are rare
that do not have rainfall enough to make
q fair crop. Under this Southern sun crops
mature early. The wheat is harvested be-
fore the drouth sets in. Oats and barley
are generally sown in February and early
March and get handsome growth before
the dry weather can seriously affect them
Corn is longer in coming to maturity,
but it takes deeper root and will never fail
of a moderate crop with good culture.
This is not so good a corn country as Kan
sas, Nebraska, lows and Illinois but 40
bushels per acre are very often obtained,
and with about one-haIf the labor given in
the great corn States. The last two years
have brought North Texas a generous
crop of corn. Cotton never fails. Intelli-
gent culture always brings a good crop.
Northern Texas is the only country where
all the staple cereals are successfully grown
In the same field with bountiful cotton
| crop. They bestow less labor on crops here
than in any country / have ever visited
The primary reason for this is that the
land is free from foul and noxious weeds
The drynrss of the climate is a great aid te
cultivation. The second reason is that the
| soil Is as generous as any under the sun
the last reason is the universal indifference
OF the old Texan to thorough culture. Ht
depends upon Nature for three .fourths O
his crop. She is bounsiful here and rarely
deceives him. He is willing to work
little to aid her. but thorough cultivation
of the soil has never been. his study OF
habit. He skins over the surface and stir
the coil just enough to cover his seed
Deep tilling will work Transformation il
Texas farming as the lands become valu
able enough to compel it. A grand day
awaits the coming Of thorough husband
men in Texas. In justice to the climate
may say that, without doubt, cases of in
cipient consumption, bronchial difficulties
many conditions OF catarrh and acute ner
yous affections, with most forms of kidney
disease, will find relief here. Indigestion
too, generally finds relief here. This is
superb country for mixed farming Cor

Under this head the New York Sunday
Ners diseourses in the following hopeful
strain " Nature seems to be doing her
best to help the people of this country out
of their financial troubles. The blessed
rain falls in sufficient quantities and at the
proper time; the generous soil teens with
vegetable life, and the promise of plentiful
crops cheers the farmers heart and invites
the suffering millions to hope for better
times. There is no doubt that the harvest
of grain will be abundant and most oppor
tune. There will be, in consequence of the
war in the East, an extraordinary Euro-'
pean demand for the hreadstuffs of Ameri-
ca. All this must bring money into our
markets, encourage trade, and put life into
the industrial system. We are, perhaps
approaching the turning of the lane of mis-
fortune; we have come to the dark hour
before the dawn, and may look to see sun
shine yerv soon. At this crisis, therefore,
when it is to be believed that we are at the
threshold of change for the better, it be-
comes more than ever obligatory upon all
classes to be patient and forbearing. The
stern, sharp rules of business intercourse
should not be too strictly maintained, but
on the contrary, a general spirit of indulg
ence should prevail, and a disposition or
the part of those who touch bottom Il
throw plank to those who have lost theil
foothold and are going under. Matters arr
bad enough as they are, but they would b.
much worse if every man should incas
himself in the armor of his selfshness ant

mated in the bond. Full of wisdom AM

In all these properties, when combined
in pure milk, there is total abstinence of
poison. And as ! before remarked, the
child, ~hich in the first period of its life
must be fed exclusively on milk, finds in
that milk all the various compounds nee.
essary for its own existence and growth.
All the respiratory food is there. There
they receive the butter and milk sugar.
The nitrogenized food is there in the cas-.
cine, and il is a certain fact that albumen
and caseine are both convertible in fbrine.
The caseine, in the mothers milk, becomes
converted into flesh in the young child.
For the growth and development of bones,
phosphate of lime is present. There is
likewise chlorine which forms hydrochloric
acid of the gastric juice, and soda which is
an essential ingredient in the bile. Now
milk, if taken in glutinous quantities, like
any other food, will produce functional
arrangement, and may produce death, not
by poisoning, but by derangeing the func-
tions of secretion and excretion, and there
by destroying their functional activity.
The same is true in the glutinous eating OF
all kinds of food, they throw the electricity
of the system out of balance and produce
disease, for it is grand fact that the true
cause Of all disease is the dsrangem ent Of
the electro nervous fluid of the system
And it is as much fact that in all the
different food eaten by man, from his in
fancy to his old age, there is not any foot
that can be eaten in sufficient quantities te
produce sickness or death, by any putre
faction that may occur, or take place il

food, nor is there sufficient poison con
tained in the general food used by mai
during month of his glutinous eating t.
produce death by poisoning. Whateve
putrefaction i! may undergo in the stom
ach. To enter into, or explain, the com
ponent parts Of all the different food use
by man, would require too much space an
time, and would be quite unnecessary I

A Large Fortune Dissipated-Sad End
of a Young Mans Brief Career.

Granville Ely was arrested in Middle
town, Connecticut, last week, for stealing
coat blonging to the proprietor of the Gels
ton House, and bound over, and committed
TO Jail, TO await his trial at the next term
of the Superior Court. Young Ely, who
is well known in this section, has very
peculiar history. He is the son of the late
Elias Ely, at one time prominent lawyer
in New York, who amassed large fortune
IN his practice. Being his only son, Gran
vile was humored in every conceivable
manner by his father, who allowed him for
spending money the handsome sum of S20,-
600 year. He spent the summer months
at East Haddam, and was highly esteemed
by all, being considered immensely wealthy,
frequently giving magnificent banquets at
the hotel, to which he not only invited
every Young man IL this section, but many
persons from Brooklyn and New York
| At that time he was considered one of the
finest young men in the country, which
opinion was evidently formed because of
his distinguished personal appearance and
| the prompt manner in which he paid his
bills. He KEEP. for his own use a splendid
four-in hand, with which he would make
Sensational dash through the streets OF
East Haddam every pleasant afternoon
In conversation few were as fluent as young
Ely, who would affably entertain a room
full of guests without the slightest effort
being most charming story teller, into
into which he could infuse unmistakable
witticism of the highest order. He wal
indeed brilliant young man, and his con
dition now will be greatly mourned by hi

thought that he spent over $500,000 for hi
father, who died few years since in re
duced circumstances.
A short time afteE the death of his fathe
Ely was arrested in New York for forgery
of which crime he was convicted and sen
to Sing Sing. It is asserted that he ha
several times been arrested for petty Lar
ceny, and evidently, in his present low con
dition, he cannot refrain from stealing any
thing coming within his reach. He ha

Fruit Trees with Low Tops.

There can be no advantage in having a
tree top twenty feet high, with the ex-
tremitiss Of long, slender branches. AS
rule fruit trees should be low -headed-so
low that when the tree begins to bear the
branches will leach to the ground. Dwarf
trees in particular should be trained with
low heads. 1t gives us great pleasure to
see that this matter is already understood
in the West the late planted orchards,
and the nurseries, too, afford evidence of
this, SO that we can find but one opinion
among the more intelligent eultivators
For the pear and cherry this is still more
essential than for the apple, because these
trees are more delicate in general, and in
juries much more fatal to them. For both
of these trees we prefer the conical form,
whether on dwarfs or free stocks, not be-
cause the trees in that form are beautiful,
but because the trunks and large branches
can be more effectually protected. The
trees of finer pears are all easily injured
by freezing and thawing in the bark, which
is smooth and thin but if the trunks are
well feathered with branches to the ground
they will seldom be injured. It should al
ways be borne in mind that the trunk of
the tree is the main channel of circulation.
When it is injured, circulation will be i'm
peded and irregular, and general debility
will quickly follow. Some people argue
that this training of trees as low standards
and pyramids is both expensive and I'M
natural. The low standard requires no
more pruning after the tree is planted than
the high one, and it is just as natural, and
more for the tree to branch at three feet
from the ground than. at eight feet The
conical form does require some pruning
at first, to fix the habit that is to secure a
preponderance of vigor and size for the
lower branches. When this is done it be.
comes natural, as most pear and cherry
trees, if left to themselves in abundant
space, will assume the conical form vol
