Better Times Pronhesied.

A speedy return of the good
times of five years ago is predicted
by the Toledo Blade, which bases
its belief on the immense crop OF
of the year, and the well-known
effects of prosperity among farm
ers on general business. 1t ap-
pears that the crops harvested are
the largest the country ever had.
The acreage of wheat is largely in
excess of any since the settlement
of the country, and the yield per
acre is infinitely greater. Hay is
magnificent, and has been secured
in the very best condition. Corn
is now certainty. Never was the
eye gladdened with the sight OF
such fields. The stalks tower glo-
riously, and the color is superb.
Oats, which have been a failure
since 1874, this year yield very
much more than they did them
The Blade continues: ave proph-
esy an immediate aud decided re-
vival of business. There have been

Bob IugersOll on Child.whipping.

Bob IugersOll ON Child-Whipping.
The children of poverty. NV
heart bleeds when | think of them:
the children simply covered by a
rag; the children of famine and
starvation; the children of drunk
enness and the children Of crime,
iiotsam and jetsam upon the wild,
rude sea of life; the children in al
leys, the children that crouch in
corners when they hear the un-
steady step of drunken brute of
a father; the children, little babies
with drinking mothers; the child
rem, too, of the rich that have no
liberty-these little children that
are crushed, that are trampled up
on, that are frightened. / pity
them from the bottom of my heart.
What right have you to tyran-
nize over a child! / have very lit
tie respect for man that cannot
govern n child without brute force.
Think of whipping children. Why,
they say that children tell lies.-
Yes, cowardice is the mother of
lies; tyranny is the father of lies.
Suppose a man who is as much
larger than you as you are larger
than five-year-old child, should
come at you with a pole in his
hand: "Who broke that plate 2"
You would tremble; your knees
would knock together, and you
would swear you never saw that
plate, or that it was cracked when
you got it.
Think of a member of the board
of exchange whipping one of his
children for prevaricating. Think
of a lawyer beating his own flesh
and blood because he evaded the
truth. Think of a dealer in stocks
Furnishing his child for setting aAoat
false reports. What an inconsist-
ency. Think of it.
If you should hereafter whip
your child, wish you could have
your photograph taken while doing
so, with brown corrugated with an
ger, your cheeks red with rath, and
the little child shrinking, trembl-
ing, crouching, begging. If the
child should happen to die, would
MT it be sweet in the autumn, when
the maple leaves are turning to
gold, and when the scarlet vines
run like sad regret out of the
earth-wouldn't it be delightful to
go and sit on the mound that COW
ers the flesh you had beaten, and
look at the photograph of yourself
in the act of whipping that childG
Now think Of it; think of it;
and if all have said tonight will
save one blow from the tender flesh
of infancy, am more than paid.
/ have known men to drive their
own children from their doors, and
then get down on their knees and
ask God to watch over them. An
other thing; there is nothing in
this world like being honest with
these children. Do not pretend
you are perfection; you are not;
and if one of them happens to tell
d story, do not let on as If the
whole world was going to burst.
Tell them honestly that Won have
