Evils Among Young Men.

OF all the evils prevalent among
young men. we know of none more
blighting in its moral effects than to
speak lightly of the virtues of a wom-
an. Nor is there anything in which
young men are SO thoroughly mistaken
as the low estimate they form as to the
integrity of woman Not of their own
mothers and sisters, but Of others who,
they forget, are somebody elses moth
ers and sisters. As rule, no person
who surrenders to this debasing habit is
to be trusted with any enterprise re-
quiring integrity of character Plain
words should be spoken on this subject,
for the evil is a general one and deep
rooted. 1t young men are sometimes
thrown into the society of thoughtless
and depraved women, they have no
more right to measure all other women
by what they see of these, than they
have to estimate the character of hon
est and respectable citizens by the de-
velopments of crime in our police
courts Let our young men remember
that their chief happiness in life de-
pends upon utter faith in women. No
worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philos-
ophy, no generalization, can cover or
weaken truth 1t stands like the rec
ord of itself-for it is nothing less than
this and should put an everlasting
seal upon lips that are wont to speak
slightingly of women

WOman's Rights in Oregon.

The Legislature of Oregon, at its last
session. passed law in relation to the
property rights of married women
which puts that State in advance of all
others on this subject. The following
are the leading provisions of the law:
THAT the property owned by a
woman at the time Of marriage. or ac-
quired thereafter by gift, devise or in
heritance, shall not be liable for the
debts or contracts of the husband: and
that the wife may manage. SELL devise
and convey the same as fully as the
husband can his property.
2.-That the property of either hus-
band or wife shall not be liable for debts
or contracts of the other.
3.-That an action may be maintained
by either the husband or the wife
against the other for the recovery OF
property of which the other has OBJ
tanned possession. the same as if they
were unmarried
4.-That for civil injuries committed
by the wife, damages can be recovered
OF her alone, except in cases where the
husband is Jointly responsible.
5.-That conveyances of liens from
one to the other shall be valid
6.-That the one may constitute the
other his or her attorney for mutual
benefit, or attorney in fact.
THAT the wife may recover the
wages of her personal labor in her own
name.
S.-That the expenses of the family
and the education of the children shall
be chargeable on the property of both
husband and wife, or on that OF
either of them.

has not come Tor me to insist on this.
Let us think of him, poor fellow, as one
who must, had he lived, have suffered
much, and who has mercifully found
peace in the rest of death"
He stood for a moment looking with
a fond longing into the small, sweet
face from which the summer roses had
fled with grudging haste. Then, taking
from his pocket fragile gold and crys-
tai circlet, he held it out to her. 1t was
the bracelet she lost that first night of
their meeting.
l found it under your window that
night with the violets," he said 1T fell
from your arm. Will you take it back
now?"
A faint, lovely tinge of red fickered
into her cheeks once more.
Nc" she answered, looking into his
dark face with tender, gentle wistful-
ness. II don't want to recall that
night, or anything connected with it.
You may keep it, if you like"
So he kissed her hand and said fare
well. But he left a whisper behind
him.
When the roses bloom again, remem-
Der me. y
A year went by and NO !. esssge came.
The second year he said to himself:
Surely, she will send for me now!r'
But May and June crept by, and July
came; but not one word came from Jes-
sic Chassdane. He was growing sick
with wild and helpless despair, for he
felt how worse than useless it would be
to go, uncalled; when one day letter
came flutterlng like white bird to his
heart
The roses are in bloom, and there is
one for YOU"

Good Order and Low Taxes.
Chicago Inter-Ocean


Does temperance pay? We have new
er seen this question answered more
completely than by a few facts submit
ted by the Clerk of the Circuit Court
of Edwards county in this State. The
information he conveys is of interest to
the whole country. He says:
There has not been licensed saloon
in this county for over twenty-five
years. During that time our jail has
not averaged one occupant. This coun-
ty never sent but one person to the
penitentiary, and that man was sent up
for killing his wife, while drunk, on
whiskey obtained from licensed saloon
in an adjoining county. We have but
very few paupers in our poor house,
sometimes only three or four. Our
taxes are 32 per cent. lower than they
are in adjoining counties where saloons
are licensed. Our people are prosper
Gus, peaceable and sober, there being
very little drinking, except near Gray
vile, a licensed town of White county,
near our border. The different terms
of our Circuit Court occupy three or
four days each year, and then the dock
cts are cleared. Our people are so well
satisfied with the present state of
things, that very large majority of
them would bitterly oppose any effort
made in favor of license, under any cir
cumstances.

ter Phew! If | could only imprison
and mail that roaring, riotous whirlwind
which has just dashed down Beacon

THE Marshall Times referring to the
recent change of front by the State
Register with reference to the Presi-
dent, gives that paper. in its character
istically incisive way, the following bit
of wholesome advice:
Let fighting Hayes, and Hayes men
alone, and direct your guns upon the
common enemy in your own locality,
who walked in and stole your spoons
while you were playing the fool by
ambushing the President and his
friends. We are disgusted with the i'd
iotic believing of the implacables, in
praise of the President now, but whom
they abused and would have cruci6ed,
if they could in the past, and all be-
cause he has simply affirmed, in an en-
phatic way, what he has said from the
beginning On, give us a rest, blarney
is cheap and we have heard enough of
it; shoulder your error and own up to
past foolishness like men.
ADVERTISING AND DRUMMING.-The
St. Louis Journal Of Commerce., says:
A Chicago wholesale grocery house,
which few years ago carried sixteen
drummers at an expense of $4,000 per
annum, and did an almost proftless
/ business, has abandoned the drummer
system, spends one-fourth their cost
annually in newspaper advertising, di-
viding the balance among its customers.
As natural result, their trade has in
creased ten fold and the net profit to
the house in 1877 was $130,00O. This
year they will do still better.
