have never, in any part Of the United
States, done much towards advan-
cling the cause. Whenever the influ-
ence of Republican legislation, which
has almost uniformly been restrictive
where it has not been prohibitory in
its character, can now be counter
acted by Democratic influence, and
where that party has gained ascen-
dency and finds itself able to do so,
it takes the back-track in legislation,
and attempts to repeal" or greatly
modify the liquor laws. There is
now a bill before the legislature Of
Ohio, which proposes to modify the
present liquor law in some essential
points, chief of which are as follows:
Under the old law the maximum
fine is $50; under the new law it is
$50.
Under the old law the selling liquor
to a minor except upon the acritten
order of the parent, etc., is punished
under the new, the word written" is
conveniently dropped.
Under the old law persons are for
hidden to sell to person intoxicated,
or in the habit Of getting intoxicated
under the new the person refused
must be "a known inebriate."
Under the old law the keeper OF a
place where intoxicating liquors are
sold contrary to law, is to be fined
from $50 to 500 or Imprisonment
from ten to thirty days, or both
under the new these penalties are
entirely stricken out.
Under the old law, upon conviction
OF such keeper. his place is deemed 6
public nuisance, and it is made the
duty of the court to order it shut up
unless the keeper makes it appeal
that liquor is not sold therein IN VIC
lation of law and gives bond for il
$1,000 to obey the law; under the new
no such provision appears.
An influential lobby is on hand
with plenty OF money, and we vii
not be surprised if the bill is pu
through. The law as it now stands
backed as it is by growing temper
ance sentiment, is constant terro
to the liquor seller, and he ha'
strong hopes OF relief from the pres
ent Democratic legislature.-Steu

Che Repuhliralr,
Good and Bad Crops.

1t is common to see accounts OF
large crops, and the way minutely
described by which they were pro-
duced. But if there be failures (and
they are numerous and sad. they
seldom get into the newspapers. This
is wrong. We ought to have the
facts. In navigation, buoys and
light houses are not placed amid the
ocean where there are neither rocks.
shoals or breakers, or where there
is no danger or difficulty, but on
places of danger. So is farming. II
our friends have failed in hogs, cattle
or other stock, or in grain or vegeta-
bles, let the world have warning by
a true account of the course adopted
which resulted in failure. Place a
buoy on all dangerous and dis
astrous plans and practices which
resulted in loss or defeat, that others
may be warned. If the failure has
been from idleness, negligence, igno-
rance, or from bad advice or wilful
perversity, let the truth be known.
By little humiliation on your own
parts save a hundred readers from
the same fatal quicksands. 1t is
easy to write up successes and
enormous products of grain and
stock. But undertake to write up
blunders and failures. and then you
begin to feel as il you were making
sacrifices in the great missionary
work which should be done in agri-
culture. 1t is hard for true Yankee
to say or write that he has been ig-
norant, stupid and slothful. and here
by failed in crops and stock. Yet
these confessions, il true, are the be-
ginning of wisdom. and are really the
foundations Of success. There are
more failures than triumphs, and
why can we not have more light
houses to warn us OF their dangerous
reefs on which more than half our
profession is stranded? Ii we raise
thirty-five bushels Of wheat per acre
or a steer which weighs 1000 pounds
at three years, it Is sure to go into
the papers and how it was done; but
il we raise only five bushels per acre
and our steer weighs only 900 pounds,
it is never told. On return from the
market, the neighbor- are not even
Informed. Why? For the reason,
in most cases, il was not the fault OF
the season, the soil or the steer, but
the owners neglect. and he is
ashamed to tell it, But in this lie is
committing another fault. He is not
warning his neighbors against fol-
lowing his practices. He is not hon.
est with them in holding the facts.
And, in recitals of failures, charge
nothing to Providence or the soil
which resulted by negligence or ig-
norance. And while you are warning
others, your own lapsed brain force
will be waking up to nobler efforts to
gain more knowledge and to achieve
greater triumphs. Let Us hear OF a
few more failures and the true
eauses.-Iotoa State Register.

A good wagon costs considerable
sum and it should be taken proper
care OF and made to last as long as
possible. Few persons understand
the Importance OF thoroughly lubri-
eating the axles, etc., Of wagons and

use, and the proper way OF applying
them. A we'll made wheel will en-

Obscure Men Happiest in wedlock

Obscure Men HappleSt III Wediock.
Some one who knows, perhaps,
says no woman will love a man the
better for being renowned or promi-
nent. Though he be the first among
men, she will be prouder-not fonder;
as is often the case. she will not even
be proud. But, give her love, appre-
citation, kindness, and there is no
sacrifice she would not make for his
content and comfort. The man who
loves her we'll is her hero and her
king. No less a hero to her, though
he is not to any other: no less a king,
though his only kingdom is her heart
and home. 1t Is mans fault il he is
unhappy with his wife, nine cases out
OF ten. 1t is very exceptional
woman who will not be all she can be
to an attentive husband, and a very.
exceptionable one who will not be
very disagreeable il she finds herself
wilfully neglected. 1t would be easy
to hate a man who, having bound a
woman to him, made no effort to
make her happy; hard not to love
one who is constant and tender; and,
when q woman loves she always
strives to please. The great men OF
this world have always been wretched
in their domestic relations, while
mean and common men have been
exceedingly happy. The reason is
very plain. Absorbed in themselves,
those who desire the worlds APP
plause were careless as to TIL little
world at home, while those who had
none OF this egotism strove to keep
the hearts that were their own, and
were.happy in their tenderness.

an instant's silence followed this
sudden out-burst; but old Dick soon
learned to his increased horror, that
even the wolves are too fastidious to
stand bad fiddling, for they COM
menced renewal Of the attack, as
soon as the first surprise was over,
more furiously than ever.
When the head of the great wolf
was thrust up between the boards OF
the roof, within few inches of where
he sat, he gave himself up for gone
darkie, and fell to fiddling yankee
Doodle" with all his might.
With the first notes of the air
silence commenced; the brutes owned
the subduing spell, and the terror
stricken fiddler, when he came to
himself-astonished at the sudden
cessation of hostilities--saw he was
surrounded by the most attentive
and certainly appreciative audience
he had ever played to before.
For the moment there was the
slightest cessation of the music, every
listener sprang forward to renew the
battle. and set his pipe-stem legs to
flying about in the air again.
But he had now learned the spell,
and as long as he continued TO play
with tolerable correctness, was COM
paratively safe.
The old fiddler soon forgot his ter
ror in professional pride. for he was
decidedly fattered by such intense
appreciation; and entering fully into
the spirit of the thing, played with a
gusto and effect such as he thought
he had never before surpassed or
even equaled. Even the wedding,
with its warm lights. its sweetened
whisky, was forgotten for the time in
the glow OF this new professional tri-
umph.
But as time progressed, he began
to give way under cold, fatigue, and
exhaustion. But he could not stop q
moment before they were at him
again, and there they persistently sat,
that shaggy troop of connoisseurs,
figeting on their launches, with loll-
ing tongues and pricked ears, listen
ing to their compulsory charmer, for
several weary hours, until the ne
groes at the wedding, becoming i'm
patient or alarmed about the old man,
came out to look for him, and found
him thus perched upon the roof oil
the tOttering hut, saving away fol
dear life. They rescued the old man
from his comfortless position, while
the lingering forms OF his late audi
ence told that they most unwillingly
surrendered the fruition of their un-
/ wOpted feast
