Teach and Learn.

One man cannot thoroughly, safely,
and wisely conduct many experiments
at the same time. Hence, it IS very
desirable for neighboring farmers to
help one another in this respect. So of
all classes engaged in productive pur-
suits. Ten men can, in one year, try a
number Of theories that one man could
not put to the test in less than ten years.
If one makes an experiment that proves
Improbable, it is his duty to let his
friends know it, that they may not suffer
by repeating it. If one possesses special
knowledge about varieties Of articles of
produce, peculianties Of culture, methods
of preserving or utilizing what is raised,
or anything else of importance to success
and prosperity, he ought to he kind
enough to inform his neighbers, at least,

cessful. In certain community the
farming was unimproved, and, hence, un-
profitable. A progressive man of intell1-
gence and skill move from distant State,
introduced more advanced ideas, and
rapidly converted the poor land into
fertile, profitable farm. His neiehbors
were kindly enlightened, adopted his
wise example, and soon brought up the
whole community to much greater pros
perlty. Of course, the man who tau. hit
and those who learned are much happier.
Let it be known that selfish monopoly of
useful information is suicidal as we'll as
ignoble and uncharitable; and that few
men are to be pitied more than those
who refuse to learn by the experience of
others.
To further these suggestions, it is re-

Two More Warnings,

If there should happen to be among
the thousands Of our readers one who is
standing on the edge Of tho vortex. OF
who is even remotely exposed to tempta-
ton, we entreat him to pause and turn
away before taking the fatal step that has
led SO many into ruin.
1t is marvel, almost inexplicablc, that
alter the numerous instances of defalca-
ton and embezzlemcnt. that have come 10
light within the last few years, and that
are sure to come to light sooner or later,
there are yet found willing candidates fot
the dreadful inheritance Of infa,nv which,
defaulters and unfaithft1l trustees btino

which they plunge their innocent tami-
lies and friends. But it is the same old
story repeated over and over again,
Treasurers and trustees are placed in
charge OF money which does not be.

right to use it for their own advantage.
even though they feel sure of being able
to restore it, than they have to 90 into a

account for the safe keeping of money
whic" is not their own. But they arc

appears to them, fair chance certain

by the temporary use of the money, and

the time for restitution comes they are
written down before the world, and it
may be on the records of the penitentiary,
as defaulters. The disgrace they have
brought upon themselves, the agony
which they have entailed upon their
dearest tindred and friends, and the life
long suffering they have caused to wild
ows and orphans whom they have rob-
bed, no arithmetic will compute.
Last week we had another case of this
nature to record, tho defalcation of the
Treasurer of large cotton mill at Fall
River, Mass, who had used the funds of
the corporation in private speculation,
with the usual resultant this, too, with
some OF the most notable and sad in
stances OF like nature fresh in his rccol-
lection that had occurred before his very
Dyes. This week we record still another,
the cashier of bank ut Lawrence, Mass,
who is proved deiaulter to the amount
OF $64,O00, and in precisely the same
way-speculating with funds not his own,
and unable to make good the loss. And
other cases of defalcation of less amounts
have come to light since these have trans
PRED.
In every one Of the numerous cases OF
this nature which have filed the columns
Of the papers from time to time, the per.
pctrator Of the wrong might have seen
the end from the beginning. It is with
the desire to prevent others from plung-
ing into ruin that we repeat the warning
contained in this brief article. Let every
man, in whatever position of trust he is
placed, discharge that trust faithfully, as
in the sight of God, and in the assurance
that there is nothing covered that shall
not be revealed.

Spanish Living and Dying.

The Spanish father is absolutely king
and lord Of his own hearthstone, but his
sway is SO mild that 1t is hardly felt.
A light word between husband and wife
sometimes goes unexplained, and the rift
between them Nldens through life. They
cannot be divorced-they will not incur
the scandal or a public superintendent
so they pass lives Of lonely isolation in
adjoining apartments, both thinking
rather better Of each other and Of them.
selves for this devilish persistence.
II men are never henpecked by learned
wives, Spain would be the place of all
others for timid men to marry in. The
girls are bright and vivacious, but they
have never crossed, even in schoolday
excursion, the border lines of the ologies.
They have an old proverb which coarselv
conveys this idea: That "a Christian
woman i'll good society ought not to
know anything beyond her cookery book
and her missal.'
An ordinary Spaniard is sick but once
Ill his life, and the old traditions which
represent the doctor and death as ALWAYS
hunting in couples still survive it Spain.
III NA NCAA IO-AO-4dl4ll1C6 the mouse OF
death is always deserted Immediately
after the funeral, and the stricken ones
retire and pass eight days in inviolable
seclusion. Children are buried in coffins
OF gray color, pink or blue, and carried
open to the grave. A luxury of grief
consists in shutting up the house where
death has taken place and never suffer-
ing it to be opened again. 1 once saw d
beautiful house and wide garden thus
abandoned in one Of tho most fashionable
streets OF Madrid. The wife Of certain
Duke Lad died there many years before.
The Duke lived in Paris, leading ratt-
ling life, but he would never sell or let
that Madrid home. Perhaps in his
heart, that battered thoroughfare, there
was silen: spot, where, through the
gloom Of dead days, he conld catch a
glimpse of a white hand, the rustic of a
trailing robe, and feel sweeping over
him the magic Of loves dream, softening
his fancy to tender regret.-Castiliah

he was confirmed drunkard, who had

his existence in trance Of ecstatic COL

himself and Brashear, it was purely an
accidental one.
OF course, John prevaricated outrage

The waters RON up on the rockstrewn beach,
With music too deep and sweet for speech;
Sometimes thoy are merry and glad and tree,

And they suaite the shore with fierce delight;

And they boom and break, and dash and roar,
In their wild and passionate rage with the

But the dark, gray rocks on either hand
Ever like faithful sentlnels stand,
Astless and cold whom the waters play,
Dauntless and bold when tho angry spray
OF the storm-driven waves dashes higher and

And the ocean seethes In It's mad desire
Nov, once and forever, TO break It's bands,
And sweep In triumph the desolate lands
So about our lives the currents aow,
Now Wild and swift, now gentle and slow,
Now Turing us on TO soft delight,

~A frontiersman named Stanley
Huntley has been visiting the camp OF
Sitting Bull, and has talked with that
leader. Mr. Huntley told reporter of
the St. Paul Globe that Sitting Bull had
said she'd do everything to avoid fight
He ssid he'd run from any command OF
soldiers across the line to avoid q fight.
He expressed himself kindly of the
white people, but most contemptuously
of the Long Knives-the American ar
my. He said all he asked was . living
for his people, and that he was determin-
ed to have. The soldiers be declared
he could whip with his old women
Mr.. Huntley added that sit is idle talk
to speak as Gen. Sheridan and other ar
my officers have done in discrediting
Sitting Bull with having any influence.
His people revere him, are obedient.-
He is both a chief and statesman -
He's great organizer" When asked
what he thought about turning the In
dams over to army management, the
frontiersman replied that in his opinion
'the army ought to be turned over to
Sitting Bull to learn drill system and
how to organize"
