From tbs New York Tribune.
The curious observation is put
forth by a devoted defender of the
Administration that if the opposing
Republicans do not have q care the
President may go to work next year
and by the aid of Democratic SeD-
ate, Gil the 10000 Federal Offices
with Hayes Republicans. Yes, bat
if the Administration pursues its
present policy for 8 year longer
where will it find the 10000 Hayes
Republicans

IT looks as If the Bankrupt law
had about run its race. A general
scQuiescence in it's repeal appears to
prevail in Congress. Persons who
desire to have their debts wiped out,
or rather their estates consumed by
this process, must make haste, ere it
is too late.

We didn't want to bora the feel

when we stated that the Recorder

sumea it did, when following party
leaders, in the attempt to raise a
bowl against the Republican msjori-
ty in the Legislature. The naughty
aing at the Cameron lsckeys" in the
Legislature was intended to be VIC

of it will consider the source, as the

More Beer and Less whisky.

According to the internal revenue
returns, the citizens Of the Republic
are drinking less whisky and more
beer. Whisky-that part of it which
paid revenue tax, at least-fell of
from 100000 gallons for the fiscal
year Of 1877 to 5O,7e4,OOO in 1873
a difference of nearly 100000 gal.
Ions. For the same time, the reve.
nue-paying beer increased from o.
100000 barrels to 9,9S7,OOO barrels
an increase of $4,000 barrels, or
1881, 900 gallons. During the last 10
or 12 years, if not longer, there has
been a percopible diminution here,
considering the ever growing census,
in the consumption of whisky and
other liquors, and corresponding
increment of beer, as is shown by a
decrease in drunkenness and its at
tondant ills.-N Y Times.

Prepare rorThc Winter.

Now during the beautiful autumn
weather, the best time'in both town
and country to get ready for winter.
In town, people who can at all afford
it should get in supply Of coal and
wood for winter, prepare comfortable
clothing for themselves and children,
stop up the chinks,, and mako doors
and windows fit close so as TO exclude
frost and wind. But it is the coun-
try especially where this season Of
the year should be improved. Now
when the roads are hard and the
weather overhead delightful, wood
enough should be hauled to last all
winter, ample room should be proyi.
.dedt shelter nom wind and rain
all the live stock on the farm. Even
rude sheds to turn of the rain and
break 'the force of piercing winter
winds are infinitely better than no
protection at all. 1t is we'll enough
in fine weather to let stock run at
large, but in cold sleet, and rain and
frosty winds, especially at nights,
they should have warm and dry
shelter. 1t pays better in the long
run to take proper care of ourselves
and Of the dumb brutes committed to
our care. Damp, cold, filthy ill ven
tilated dwellings are sure to destroy
health Of body and peace Of mind
scant food and exposure to the pier
cling blasts and pelting storms of
winter are sure to deteriorate all
kinds of domestic animals. 1t re-
quires some effort as well as expense
to make farmers families and the
farmers stock comfortable during
the droary months of winter, but it
pays a big profit in both happiness
and money in the end.-Journal,

The Value OF Dislntcrested vir-
tue.

Life is short and you have much
work to do. Work for Others as we'll
as yourself. You will not pretend
you are never selfish. You arc more
or less so every day Of your life, In
the very face Of conviction you play
the part of contracted littleness.-
How often do you forget theintefests
of others, in eager desire for your
self2 Aud how readily you silence
the whispers of reason by calling in
for precedents, respectable example.
Yet you know the value Of disinter-
ested virtue, and how that avarice,
or any other selfish passion, can ney-
ersecure your felicity; but the ap.
pearances Of the moment persuade
you otherwise, and hence the cause
of error and crime, Study, not only
to be convinced of truth, but to es-
tablish 1t firmly in your mind, be-
yond the reach Of doubt. Then, not
till then, your character win be uni
form, and your principle strong
enough to carry you through the tri-
ais and temptations of life. No one
can be happy long unless he be gov
erned by virtue and to be regulated
by.this sublime principle, he must
early learn to make any sacrifice,
even life, and all that tends to make
it sweet in the eyes of mankind.

CuItlyatlng a Pure Expression.

Every word that falls from the lips
of mothers and sisters especially
should be pure, and concise, and sim
pie; not pearls, such as fall from the
lips of the princes, but sweet, good
words, that little children can gath
er without fear of toll, or after shame,
or blame, or any regrets to pain
through all their life,
Children should be taught the fire.
.quent use of good, strong, expressive
what they Should express in their
proper places.
If a child, or young person, has a
loose, flung-together way of string
ing words when endeavoring to say
something, he should be made "to try
again." and see if he cannot do bet.
ter.
1t is painful to listen to many
girls talk. They begin with q "My
goodnessl" and interlay it with
"ohs!" and "sakes alivel" and $50
sweet" and $50 queenlyl" and SO
many like phrases, that one is temp
ted to believe they have no training
at all, or else their mothers we're very
foolish women. There is nothing
more disgusting than the twaddle Of
ill.brcd girls; one is provoked often
into taking a paper and reading, and
letting them gurgle on, like brooks
that flow they know not whittier.
My heart warns with love for SEN
sible girls and pure boys; and, after
all, if our girls and boys are not this,
1 fear it is our own fault-that this
great trust rests in the hearts and
hands of the women Of our land. II
we have a noble, useful purpose in
life, we shall infuse the right spirit
into those around us.
