LITTLE EARS HEAR.

Parents and other persons. though
having at heart the good of children,
are very apt to be needless Of what they
say in the presence of the young ones.
whose minds and hearts catch the hue
of every sentiment expressed. They
talk on, and the child is seemingly en-
gagged in its play. but words and state
ments then made come up days after,
when, perhaps, they had forgotten the
conversation, wonderfully fresh from the
child's lips. It's mind has been revolv-
ing what it heard, for good or evil.
Boys grow old too fast by hearing men
at their talk among themselves. Says
a writer: If We stopped to think how
every word spoken in the presence of a
little child affects its future for good or
evil, we would be far more considerate
in our speech. 1t is astonishing how,
for days, children will ponder over a
| careless word or sentence which no one
supposed they had even heard, and at
some critical moment use it themselves
with startling and horrifying effect
How an impatient, petulent word shocks
US coming second hand from those inno-
cent lips Then, alas we see and de-
plore its real deformity, and realize
how potent is our influence over these
observant innocents, not only at all
times. but at every moment of time il
which they arc in our presence.

Baseball is noble game. 1t devel-
ops the muscles, closes up mans eyes,
makes his back feel as if fourteen mules
had kicked him for week, smashes his
fingers into seventeen different shapes.
and costs him pile of money. Then
he lays off for week to doctor up, and
by the time he pays up his bets he
begins to feel there are other amuse-
ments quite as pleasant and great
deal more profitable than bunting base
ball and then running $50 feet in the
heat Of the sun,-to say nothing about
chasing the balls that some other fellow
bunts away out over some high fence or
on top of some house. But then they
all do it, and wasting words on this
subject is about as useless as trying to
convince a girl that the amount of
strength spent mixing bread that she
wastes pounding piano would make
her more useful if not quite as orna-
mental member of society.-N Z.

CURE FOR CoNsUMPTIoN.-A Western
physician-as we withhold his name it
cannot be said that this is free adver-
tisement for him-has made public a
remedy for consumption that is said to
have been tried with very excellent re-
suits. This is the prescription:
One half pound finely cut up beefsteak
(fresh.)
One drachm pulverized charcoal;
Four ounces pulverized sugar;
Four ounces rye whisky;
One pint boiling water;
Mix all together, let it stand in a cool
place over night, and give from one to
two teaspoonfuls liquid and meat before
each meal. The theory of the above is
that food containing large amount of
carbon produces the best effect on con-
sumption sufferers. That is an acknowl-
edged axiom in the medical profession.
The virtues Of remedies are in proportion
to the amount of carbon that can be in
fused into the system to feed the con-
suming fame that wastes the body.

SCANDAL MONGERs.

The following fitting and singing re-
buke to the scandal mongers who. to
greater or less extent. infect every COM
munity, is from the Ottumwa, Iowa,
Osaacard: Whisky under ordinary cir
cumstances can and does great deal of
mischief. But when you desire to see
the devil do his best work at torturing
poor humanity, just call and see him
when he has turned lot Of long timber
tongues loose in community. There
is class of creatures-he's and she's
things that are neither men nor women,
they are hyenas in human form, and
they gorge themselves to the full on the
foul and fetid falsehoods that continu-
ally ooze from the shiny and sinking
sewers of each others mouths. Their
daily food is falsehood and filth; and
the more nauseatlng and nasty the more
nourishing and nutritious to these gloat-
ing ghouls. Their daintiest dish is
served up in its most savory manner,
when two or three of them meet to
handy bawdy lies about some good or
virtuous girl or woman. These he-har-
lots of hades are always happiest when
| spreading the spawn of their lecherous
lies over the salnted name of wife or
mother, for by SO doing the devilish
ichor, dripping from their ulcerous lips,
will eat through and poison the whole
family. She scorpions are the samples
which Satan's drummers have located
in each village to show mankind the
meanest thing on earth or hell-a tell
tale termagant. Shut your ears and
doors against them. Let these filthy
fends feel that you loathe them as you
do the sow that is fresh from the wallow.
If the long-eared and long tongued
hound come into your presence, bid him
begone and return to his vomit. Kick
these skunks of society from your path
Make them feel they are no more well
come to your homes or in your presence,
than is bedbug or polecat. Show these
vermins that there is no place for them
in decent society any more than there is
for the buzzard, or the bawd or the
louse-infected bat. Sooner should We
welcome to our humble home Shiny
snake than one of these babbling. tat

The Greenbackers are unfortunate in
their nominees. Bradley Barlow, their
candidate for Congress IN the Third
Vermont District. is a wealthy banker
at St. Albans and famous mail con-
tractor. He testified before a committee
of Congress that he paid $4,000 to
secure a favorable report on the straw
bidding system Of letting the contracts
for carrying the mails. Barlow was a
candidate before the Republican Con-
vention of the District for the nomination
but upon his defeat bolted and organized
the Greenback movement in his locality.
Barlow is now running to secure revenge
for his defeat, but as the District is
good for 5000 Republican majority he
will not be able to prevent the election
of Gen. Grout, the regular Republican
nominee.-Iroy Times.

"ABsoLUTE MoNEY"-ABsoLUTELY
WORTHLESS following truthful
and timely remarks are copied from an
address by the Republican State Commit
tee of Wisconsin to the people of that
State:
"The value of all paper in currency,
whether issued by the Government or
banks, consists in the promise it bears
of payment and in the degree Of credit
attached to the promise. If it cannot
be converted at pleasure into currency
of intrinsic value it cannot remain at
par, and its depreciation will be in pro-
portion to the prospect of its being con-
vertible within longer or shorter perl
cd. The printed bits of paper which
some wild theorists propose to employ as
currency, and which they term absolute
money containing no promise Of pay
ment and no intrinsic value, would soon
become absolute in one respect only
they would be absolutely worthless.
This and all the other chimerical pro-
jects by which it is proposed to find a
cheap and worthless substitute for the
measure of value accepted and employed
by the civilized world are based upon
delusion, if not dishonesty, and if adopt
ed would result in disaster and shame.
We hold it to be the duty of Republicans
and all good citizens to oppose with un-
compromising frmness all these mischiev-
Gus theories, as we'll as the cognate doc
trines of Communism and International
alism. which menace society, individual
liberty, and the accumulated savings O
industry.

FROM THE NEW YORK WORTH
DEMOCRATIC.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Bradley Bar
low, who was nominated by the National
party to be candidate for Congress in
the Third Vermont District, few days
ago, is banker in ST. Albans, and the
head of the firm of Barlow, Sanderson &
Co., the great mail contractors, who at
one time managed several hundred mail
routes in the Western States and Terri
tories. The headquarters of the firm
were at st. Louis. Mr.. Barlow passed
most of his time in Washington. In
March, 1875, the Democratic Committee
on Postoffces and Post-roads Investigated
the system of mail contract lettings by
the Postofice Department. Under the
system of bidding, and by the lib
eral payment of money to Postofice off,
cials, certain firms obtained a monopoly of
carrying the mails in the West and rob-
bed the Government of thousands of dol
lars. Bradley Barlow was a witness be-
fore the committee. He testified that
his son-in-law, his cashier, and other
members of his family were in the habit
of bidding for mail contracts. Generally
the highest bidder on the part of the firm
obtained the contract. the lower bidders
drawing out. Mr.. Barlow also testified
that at the time Farnsworth's Republi-
can committee was investigating the
straw bidding system. he paid $4,000
to secure a favorable report. He said
that he did not give this money to mem
bers of Congress but it was paid to wit
nesses and employees in the departments
Mr.. Barlow could not remember the
names of any of the persons to whom the
money was paid.

The New York 1ribme's special
Washington despatch of February 23d.
1876, said that the testimony showed
that .about $140,OOO was expended by
Mr.. Barlow, the great mail contractor,
to protect his interests from competition
and from the investigations" 1t added:
''That money was disposed of about as
follows, for of its disbursement no denial
is made: To the Farrar and McKibben
combination, $4,000; McKibben per-
sonally, $4,000; N. Wilson, legitimate
attorney fees, $4,000; Hood. useful
about Departments, $4,000; Morgan L.
Smith, a Ioan, $4,000; buying bids,
$4,000; jeremiah Black, McKibben
and Pachal, additional counsel fees,
$4,000; total Sl3S,O00. Of the above,
sum $4,000 was confessedly paid to
suppress an investigation in 1872"

And now we see, in Franklin County
and the Third district, what money, ar
tifce, audacity and unbounded cupidity
and ambition can do towards reversing
the fair expression of the peoples will,
in regular nomination, and forcing
upon The district, by discontents inside
and outside of the Republican party, a
man who has been fairly passed upon
and found wanting! We do not believe
the people will accept this mongrel con-
Germ: and we expect for il defeat more
humiliating and disgraceful than that
which was experienced at Hydepark.-

ALL ABOUT HEADs.-Heads are of
different shapes and sizes. They are
full of notions. Large heads do not al
ways hold the most. Some persons can
tell just what person is by the shape
of his head. High heads are the best
kind. Very knowing people are called
long-headed. A man that won't stop
for anything or anybody is called hot
headed. If he isn't quite so bright they
call him soft-headed. .I f. he won't be
coaxed or turned they SAl1him pig-kead-
ed. Animals have large heads. The
heads of fools slant back. Our heads
are covered with hair, except bald heads.
There are barrel-heads, heads of sermons
and some ministers used to have IF
teen heads to one sermon pin heads;
heads of cattle, as the farmer calls his

Whatever the event, his (Barlow's)
course since the Hydepark Convention
more than ever justifes the choice Of
Gen. Grout. The Republican party can
nowhere afford to name an inhationist
as its candidate, nor can it afford the
success of man unwilling to abide the
result of convention in which his name
was presented and fairly beaten. De-
feated it may be at the polls, but better
that than submission to threats, conces-
sion to bribery, or surrender to Green
hacker of Democratic clamor for Repub-
lican preferment. The Republican who
votes for Mr.. Barlow will do an un-
worthy act, and by SO doing, If he Sc
cures his election, will bring discredit
upon his party. 1t would seem that
Vermont Republicanism could be trusted
to defeat such a man so nominated

Mr.. Barlow is the candidate of the
men who advocate all the heresies of the
Greenback element. He believes, or, at
least, he has promised to faithfully rep
resent in Congress, if elected, those who
would have the Government make fresh
issues of paper money, never to be re-
deemed, and who would make the paper
dollar utterly worthless by issuing an
amount sufficient to pay off the bonded
debt of the country. The Republicans
in every Northern State are opposed to
this heresy. Consequently no man can
claim Republican vote or Republican
sympathy who goes to Greenback
meeting and pledges himself to serve
them "with fidelity" He is not a Re-
publican when tried by the. Republican
test. He is, therefore, no more entitled
to the support of any man calling him
self a Republican at the present time
than Mr.. Vallandigham would have been
during the war.
Let there be no doubt about this mat
ter. Those who vote for William W.
Grout for Representative to Congress in
the Third Vermont District will vote
for the candidate of the party which
stands for an honest dollar and the
pledges of the Republican party. Those
who vote for. Bradley Barlow will vote
for man who accepts the nomination of
a fat money convention, and who.
should he abide by his pledges, would
pay off the bonded debt of the country
by issuing a volume Of paper money
that would render the whole issue nearly
worthless. This is the alternative pre-
sented to the Republicans of that dis
/ rict.-BoStos Journal.

THROUGH THE CORN.

Warm and bright In the summer air.
Like pleasant sea when the wind blows fair,
And its toughest breath had scarcely curled
The green highway to a distant world
Soft whispers passing from shore to shore,
AS from hearts content, yet desiring more
Who feels all folorn,
Wandering thus down the path through the corn?
A short space since, and the dead leaves lay
Wondering under the hedgerow gray,
Nor hum OF insect. nor voice of bird.
Ger the desolate field was ever heard;
Only at eve the palid snow
Blushed red-rose IN the red sun-glow;
Till, one best morn.
Shot up into life the young green corn.
Small and feeble. slender and pale,
It bent its head to the winter gale,
Hardened the wren's soft note of cheer,
Hardly believing that spring was near;
Saw chestnuts bud out. and champions blow.
And daisies mimic the vanished snow
Where It was born,
On either side Of the path through the corn.
The corn, the corn, the beautiful corn,
Rising wonderful morn by morn;
First scarce as high a fairy's wand.
Then just in reach ofa child's wee hand
Then growing, growing TALL brave and strong,
With the voice of a new harvest IN its song:
While in fond scorn
The lark out-carols the whispering corn.
strange, sweet path, formed day by day.
Hew, when and wherefore we cannot say,
No more than of our life-paths we know,
Whittier they lead us why we go.
Or whittier our eyes shall ever see
The wheat in the ear or the fruit on the tree;
Yet who's forlorn7
He who watered the burrows can ripen the corn.
