Bob Ingersoll on hard times and
the remedy.
"There is another way out of the
hard times. That is by the extrav-
agances of the rich. | mean by
that they should be liberal and live

est form of charity.
The next best way to get out Is by
honesty. Let avery man pay what
labor is worth. You have no right
to pa, a man half What he is worth,
That is crime. Hard labor is form
of slo v de ath, and | would rather be
laid to rest in some quiet, well regu

the hard work some men have to
perform.
Another good way to get out OF
he difficulty we are in is to be fopnd
in individual independence. Every
man should have a home. He feels

he has a claim to. and patriotism Is
born at home. No man was ever

OUR puEsEENr DUTY.

Now that we shall have no more
elections until 1880, it may be we'll
for us to calmly consider the situation
and for the present settle down to
the order of things with which we
are surrounded. To remain idle if
we can find employment would be
folly, to quarrel with those who can
not change the condition of things
would be un wise, and to beg rather
than to work for small wages would
be cruel to ourselves and families
We therefore believe it to be the du~
ty of all good citizens to do what may
come to their hands that will in any
way aid in lifting the present distress
from the suffering people. Nothing
is to be gained by fretting over our
poverty, nor can We work needed
reforms by quarreling with those in
authority. We must satisfy our
selves as to tie true cause Of the gen
eral depression in business and then
as brave citizens If free country
apply the remedies that in our judg>
ment will restore to the cuntry
times of prosperity.

There is-and we are not sorry to
see it, an increasing travel to the
Southern States in search Of perma-
nent homes. Some go for the win
ter only, looking for health, but many
others are attracted by cheap lands
or a more salubrious climate, and the
hope of some day achieving an orr
ange grove and independence at the
same time The Tribune states that
two hundred families have left New
York and Brooklyn this winter, most
of them for Florida, while the i'm
migration from all parts of the North

IN THE LAST PEW.

She sits, bent OCT, with wrinkled face, Poor and forlornly old; no grace Smooths the sharp angles of her form. Long buffeted by life's slow storm. All else around is fine, and fair; The stained light falls, golden glare, In seeming nocksry on her loose, gray hair. The preacher, faultlessly arrayed, Tells how our hearts afar have strayed. And how all souls should be content W.th those good blessings God has sent. , And one, of all that self-poised throng, Hangs on his words nor deems them long, And huInbly thinks only her heart is wrong. She meekly mumblcs OCT the hymn, Her eyes with age and tear-drops dim What can their gay world held for he This worn and weary worshipers Now, rustling down tue aisles in pride, They toss bright smiles on every side, Nor does she know the hurts such fair looks
 niue' IN ;. And still she sits, with tear-wet face, As 10th to leave that sacred place; ;--a--- The organ, with quick thunders riven, Lifts her sad, trembling soul to heaven, She feels sense of bllssful rest, Her bony hands across her breast She clasps, and lowly sighs, "God knoWeth
 Nestl"
 One day, within some grander gate Where kings and ministers must wait, While she hopes huAnbly for low place Far from the dear Lords shining face, Above the chant of heavenly choir These words may sound with gracious Ire: Well done, good, faithful servant, come up
 higher!"
 Good Words.

How he Wilted Her.

The late Mrs. Eaton told the follow ing story of blunt old President. Jack son: She was once visiting at the Her. mitage, where, among the guests at a dinner party, was Judge of the Court of Tennessee, with wife whose head had been, turned by season in Wash iugton. Present, also, was brother of the lady's, who had been tailor, which fact was carefully ignored. The lady's airs and graces grew insuffera- ble, and finally General Jackson pricked the bubble of her pride by saying to the brother, "You know I really never have had a comfortable coat on my back. since you quit tailoring."
