LIVING IN TOWNS.

EDITOR GAZETTE I have observed the
run of events for fifty years past in refer
ence to persons living in towns and cities.
1t is necessary and proper for mechanics,
merchants, professional men, and men en-
gagged in commerce to congregate in towns.
But at least one-sixth of all the citizens in
our towns should be away from them. Day
laborers and teamsters incline to crowd into
the towns, and there are attractions there
for them The glitter and show of city life,
the amusements and sights to be seen there,
all attract and amuse the masses. And
there are many vices and habits in those
towns which allure young people to their
ruin unlesa their training is superior Thous-
ands of poor folks in those towns, forgetting
their depleted circumstances try to keep up
a show OF grandeur far beyond their ability.
Many resort to gambling and other bad ways
of gain, and make shipwreek of their char.
acters and scanty means. It is hard to in
duce people who have lived much in towns
to leave and take up with rural habits
Thousands of them become hopelessly in
volved in debt and never pay. In this
country where there is land for the landless.
and homes for the homeless, all such persons
should move into homes of their own, and
live above want. D. NEwsoME.

Lecture to Boys On Smoking.

In its deleterious effects upon the human
system, tobacco ranks next to the great evil
of intoxicating beverages. No close observ-
er can fail to mark it's baneful influence upon
''our boys" It is time that parents and
school teachers were a unit in discountenanc-
ing and prohibiting it's use among the boys
The Salem Statesman has the following sue-
gestive article ON the use of this filthy
weed, :" which is worthy of careful perusal
Boys, if you were German boys aid
should be caught smoking, you would be
locked up. In Germany the government
has become anxious abont the injurious e.
fects of tobacco on the physique of soldiers
in coming days. and in order to rectify in
some measure the evil, bas ordered the police
to arrest all under sixteen found smoking on
the streets, and to have them punished by
fine and imprisonment. This will have
beneficial influence in more ways than one.
According to reports resulting from govern
ment investigations among the boys attend
ing the Polytechnic schools of Paris a
clearly defined line has been discovered be-
tween the smokers and the non smokers, the
latter being decidedly superior to the former
In general scholarship and in mental vigor.
The poisnous nicotine, far cOunteracted
IN the ADULT smoker by the resisting forces
of his maturad physical constitution, lays
hold of the forming nerve tissues of the
young, and does its injurious work without
hinderance. Smoking cannot be put down
by an act of congress, but, it would be a
great improvement if the German custom of
apprehending all under sixteen found smok-
ing in the streets could be put in force.
I'VE would say, extend the time toinclude
al boys under 81 years Of AGED. GA

.EOMNSOy,S IDENTITY.

1t has been stated that the true
name of james johnson, now in the
county Jail under sentence of death,
is Frank Taylor, and that he came
from Belfast, Maine, where his family
now lives. He has refused from the
first to give any information regard
ing his family in the hope that his
desperate career and disgraceful death
might never be known to them. The
following item, in which there are
some errors of statement, appeared
in the Belfast Journal of the 9th inst:
Who is ne? A letter recently received
| from person in Oregon, by resident of
| this city, has the following item
''There is culprit in Portland (Oregon)
| Jail, under sentence of death. He was ar
rested under an assumed name: but since he
was convicted says his true name is Frank
Taylor. Do you know anything of his his
tory? He halls from Belfast Says he be-
longs there. He and an accomplce 60 to
their account together at an early day"
We are unable to say to whom this refers.
A family of that name, having large num-
ber of boys, lived in this city many years
ago but the members are all respectable,
and quite unlikely to be connected with
crime Can any of our readers shed any
light ON the subject?
The next issue Of the same paper,
published week later, has the fol-
lowing:
1t is believed that the man Taylor who is
to be hung at Portland, Oregon, and who
halls from Belfast, has been identified. If
this opinion is correct, twenty-five or more
years ago the family lived on Bridge street.
The father Of Taylor was namel George, a
cauker by trade, and a good citizen. A SIS
ter of Mrs. Taylor lives in one of the towns
near this city.
/ A brother of johnson seeing the
paragraphs above, started imnedi-
ately for this city and arrived about
ten days ago. Not desiring to be
known, he assumed false name +;
but introduced himself upon his ar
rival to a prominent. gentleman and
stated that the object of this visit
was to attempt to save his brothers
life. He was assured that there was
no hope, bnt has not entirely relm-
quished his plans, and last week Wis
tied Salem to personally interview

In HEAVEN WE'LL KNOW OUR OWN.
BY HANNAH ]. M'INTosH

Thank God for the faith that teaches,
When the struggles of life are DER,
We shall meet our own-our loved ones,
And shall know them all once more!
What matter though life be dreary,
And we tread its paths alone
If, when the journey is ended,
In Heaven well know our own?
Sometimes when fate's frowns are darkest
And clouds hide the fair, blue sky,
For the tender love of the lost ones,
Our souls will vainly cry;
Then, sweetly over our spirit,
flushing the hearts wild moan, ,...-
Comes the whisper of faith-be patient
And, in Heaven We'll know our own
And life and it's cares grow brighter,
In the light of this precious thought
When the conflict, at last, is over,
And the battle of life is fought,
If we work in faith and submission,
The victory shall be won
And in Heaven where rest awaits us,
We shall meet and know our own.
All how will it be, l wonder,
Shall those who were dearest here
Be dearest again in Heaven?
Or think you when we stand SO near
The throne of a loving Father,
That his children. every one,
Shall seem equally dear to each other?
Can any be like our own?
I wonder-but there-no matter;
This belongs to the great to be;
And, we'll see these things more clearly
In the light of eternity.
'Tis enough to know if we're faithful,
Till the labor of life is done,
In the ''sweet by and by in Heaven
We shall meet and know our own.

FOR HUSBANDS.

Don't think when you have won a wife
that you have also won slaye.
Don't think that your wife has less feel
ing than your sweetheart. Her relation
ship to you is simply changed, not her ma
ture.
the little civilities of life toward her on mar
rying She appreciates those things quite as
much as other women.
Don't be gruff and rude at home. Had
you been that sort of fellow before mar
riage, the probabilities are that you would
be sewing on your own buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that she is an
incumbrance on you by giving her grudgingg-
ly What she needs, give as cheerfully as
if it were pleasure so to do. She will feel
better, and so will you.
Don't meddle in affairs OF the house under
her charge. You have no more right to be
poking your nose into the kitchen, tan she
has to walk into your place of business and
give directions to your employees.
Don't leave your wife at home to nurse
the children, on the score of economy, while
you bolt down town at nights to see the
show or spend dollar on billiards.
Don't find fault with her extravaganza in
ribbons, ETC., until you have shut down on
cigars, tobacco, etc. ..
Don't bolt your supper and hurry off to
spend your evenings lourging around away
from your wife. Before marriage You could
not spend your evenings enough with her.
Don't prowl in the loafng resorts till mid
night, wasting your time in culnable idle
ness, leaving your wife lonely at. home to
brood over your neglect and her disappoint-
ment.
Don't think that board and clothes are
sufficient for all wife does for you.
Don't caress your wife in public and snarl
and growl at her in private. :,
Don't wonder that your wife is not as
cheerful as she used to be, when she labors
from early morn till late at night, to pander
to the comfort and caprice of selfish man,
who has not soul enough to appreciate her.
