cial question is very intricate, and every
one, from the two-year old to the hoary.
headed sage, has his opinion. The lead
ers of the Irredeemable on earth are di-
vided into several classes; those who
have no money, never had, nor never
will have until a government agent
comes around and pays them heavy
price for their incapacity; those who
have money, but still are in want-in
want Of office; those who hold that the
State is superior to the individual in ev-
cry respect, and that the state must
protect and provide for the individual
these hold further, that the children
belong to the State; that the State
must provide for, protect and rear the
children, thus taking on the RESPONSE
bility Of the parent, and making him a
free commoner. In accordance with
this they hold that the marriage contract
is is more odious and oppressive than the
resumption act. Further they ar
que: The State is immortal and when
The State must thus be responsible for
the children, there can be no orphans,
no waits, no illegitimates. They say
Leave individuals to their natural af-
fnities, and to the changes of these af-
fnities, the State must take care of the
results; the individual is not RESPONSE
BILE. This class is large and active in
the cause of the irredeemable. Their
objects must be accomplished by ap-
proaches. Their batteries are much
masked, but unlimbered and ready to
play upon the first breach in the walls
of society. The great barrier to the
carrying out Of their scheme now is,
the great expense must be borne by the
people; but when the government as
sumes to make money, this barrier is at
once removed, as the money costs the
people nothing, the expense of the State
family would be nothing. Now we have
a free common money, let us have prop
erty in common, and be commoners in
every thing else; the fittest will survive,
and the State must take care Of and
hide the wrecks, say they"
Now you see why we permit free
discussion. The different interests must
be championed. These discussions are
held in the outer court, and none OF
these disturbing elements ever enter
within the veil"
AS we yet had time, the angel handed
me glass, and bid me survey the dis
tant regions in which u. p. r. and his
friends were stationed. His friends had
recognized the law of labor, and had
gone resolutely to work; they were toll
ing away and surely advancing. The
angel said they would certainly come to
the front. They had met with defeats,
but by the use Of good sense they had
made these very defeats and reverses
to their advancement.
could not readily find u. p. r. Upon
looking more closely, in one place, |
could see that some one had been at
random work; it was such work as one
who was deeply absorbed in thought,
and that thought himself, would do
such work as one would do who assumed
to believe that all nature was made for
himself, and he was impatiently waiting
for nature to come round and pour out
her rich treasure at his feet. Here and
there were piled together two or three
small stones. The larger ones were left
untouched. Weeds grew here and there
He had constructed kind Of furnace
around forty gallon kettle. In this
he was boiling herbs and various kinds
of bark. The angel said, ''he was max
ing ink with which to write the laws,
&c" Standing off to one side was a
twenty gallon jug. In this was re-
fined ink with which he mathematical
the old parties" and reasoned with the
followers. On the shady side of large
rock was an eight by ten house. Over
the door was a sign, which read: News

Who is 20, Susanna The angel an

work here of coming to the front softens
the asperities Of ones nature, and such

sanna R was formerly 81. P. r.
%, Susanna R now often inverts
her effusions; that is, she often puts the
signature for the subject, and subject
for the signature. This is done with
pure motives, and % Susanna is not re-
sponsible. 1t is the effect of one of the
of the ink lobelia infato- -
upon the nervous system. In the re-
gion where %, Susanna is located, it re-
quires no brains to write for the labor
ers, as she thinks; the only object is to
get the ink upon the paper. Hence,
when she is strongly moved to write,
she drinks three pints of ink, and crawls
upon ream of paper, and lets the ink
ooze out at every pore.
Our poesy is as a gum, which oozes
From whence tits nourished.
There is something remarkable about
this ink; if it comes out at the crown of
the head it crystalizes into words about
the Golden Rule; if it comes out near
the heart, the heart seems to bleed over
the miseries of mankind, and yearns for
the general good of all, even at the sac
rifce of self if it comes out near the
pit of the stomach, then it forms into
terrible words about the starving of
men, women and children; if it should
hapDen to come out near that part of
the body upon which the person sits,
then it rushes wildly into words, and the
words frantically into sentences about
Offices for all-offices that everybody
may have a chair in which to sit and
sing his soul away Thus you can al
ways tell what part of the body is affect
ed. And, that inverston more often takes
place than otherwise, is not to be wan
dered at. Read an effusion of this kind
in the Adrocdte Of August g." This
was sent to the front, and we imme-
diately forwarded it to earth. There is
another ingredient in O, Susanna's ink,
which often corrodes the words and
makes them appear untrue. She piles
up wood ashes. pours water upon them
and then lets this water run into the ink
kettle. Very often she boils forty gal

old parties have certainly destroyed the
peoples property. Keep it before the
people that land was once worth $40 per
acre; now the same land is worth from
$13 to $15. Keep it before the people
that hogs were worth at one time $l2
per cwt.; now they are worth 81. So, of
everything else. If this is not destroy
ing property, what is it? Keep it be-
