The Credit system.

Our articles upon this subject have brought
us considerable correspondence, and we are
pleased to find that the views there expressed
meet with the approval of many intelligent
persons. One writes that more liberal home
stead and exemption laws would practically
accomplish the end aimed at. They would
certainly be a step in that direction. Some
states already exempt property to the amount
of $4,000 from attachment But these ex-
emptions can be nullfied by contract What
we want is to see it made utterly impossible
for creditor TO collect a debt by law. AS
long as debtors can place lien on their
property to secure debts, creditors will in
sist on its being done. 1t is not to help dis
honest men evade their debts that we want
the legal credit system abolished, but to pre-
vent sharpers from involving simple and
honest people in meshes of hopeless indebt-
edness for their own profit and to the injury
not only of the individual sufferers but of
the whole community. The Rural New
Yorker, referring to this subject, says ave
are pleased to see that a number of our
Western contemporaries are taking up this
really important question. If we could,
we would prohibit the entire system by
law. No doubt credit is good in some
cases. So is strong drink. Our read.
ers may have heard of the man that was
saved by drinking whiskey. The drink
made him too late for the steamer, which
burst its boiler and killed all on board. New
ertheless, we would prohibit the sale Of all
intoxicating liquors, if this were possible"

Between two Fires.

In urging special agricultural education
we have got between two fires, one from
those who are afraid to have working men
educated "above their station" and another
from those farmers who "dou't want any
book-farming in theirs" The former have
the whole political press on their side, and
the latter are ably represented by Brother
Tinkhan, who is host in himself. 1t
ought to be comfort TO both to know that,
so far as we can see, all our work in that
direction hasn't yet amounted to "a row of
pins" Both sides agree that it is dangerous
or useless for farmers to know much, and
those who think differently are content with
quiet selfimprovement using such facili-
ties as they may have. Yet there is not one
Of them who does not regret the want OF
early advantages, just such as our public
schools ought to be made to furnish. We
have reason 70 believe that large numbers
of our best farmers think there ought to be
a change, yet cannot decide how or where to
make beginning.

Death In the Cnn.

grave-digger and a gentleman were pass
ing through an English churchyard, engaged
in tracing the virtues of the dead as recorded
on the various tombstones around. Within
circumference of twenty feet from where
they stood lay no fewer than eight victims
to intemperance. Here" said the official,
"you observe the grave of a gentleman aged
forty-four, who left home to attend some
races at the neighboring city, got drunk and
was found dead. The next grave is that of
a man aged thrty-nine, who in a state of
intoxication ran a race with another man,
was thrown from his horse, and died from
its effects A little farther on you see the
grave of one, aged fifty, who often drank to
excess. He died soon after the Russian war
under the effects of strong drink. He would
often turn his wife out OF the house and
once in state of drunken frenzy, he took
the butter which she had been churning and
battered the walls with it, saying he was
taking Sebastopol." In grave little dis
lance off were deposited the remains of
another drunkard, who died from the effects
OF drinking gallon OF gin for wager.
The next grave was that of man who III a
state of intoxication attempted TO ford the
river in the valley below, aud was drowned.
The next, that OF the village innkeeper, VINO
had such an Unsuitable thirst for strong
drink that he swallowed all before him. He
had possessed property in houses and lands,
but all went, aud his life also fell a sacrifice
to strong drink. The next, that OF the vii
lage physician, who, while engaged in try
ing to cure others, killed himself through in.
dulging in drink. The last OF this sad list
OF victims was man aged fifty, who was a
great drinker; as the sexton said' He
drank hard, and in state of intoxication
passed through the graveyard and saw me
making grave. john said he, with an
oath, are you making that grave for me ?
His words nearly came true, for the very
next grave was made for this poor drunkard.'

Honest Politics.


If we are ever to have honesty in our
public affairs, or intelligence, it must begin
with the people We have all heard the
anecdote of the representative who main
tanned that it was necessary for him TO be
drunk at least half the time in order to
properly represent his town. There is food
for thought in it. The persons whom we
send to the legislature or to congress zoe send
there. Every man who is sacrificing our
interests in those assemblies to his ambition
or his greed was put there by the popular
vote. If public virtue and wisdom do not
prevail among our Legislators it is only be-
cause they do not prevail among the people.
Honest and bright men do not long allow
themselves to be represented by rogues or
fools. When we really desire better govern
ment we shall have it. But IL will not be
until the ratio Of one dollar appropriated
for religion and education TO five dollars
paid for rum is reversed.

stirring within him some strange longings
and deep sense Of dreariness.
Instead Of treading the broad, well.lighted
streets that would lead him safely TO his
elegant mansion, he crossed broad avenue
and entered narrow street, cold and dark,
where the shady windows Of the old tene-
ment houses ratified and jingled as II play
ing discordant tune.
Children sobbed and shivered as they
walked, and men and women tottered and
staggered beneath the heavy burden Of King
Alcohol. Fearlessly Hugh passed along un.
til he reached a huge lamppost, whose I'M
canny light seemed to increase rather than
diminish the heavy dreariness Of the scene
Hark was that sob or voice so low and
sad and startling Hugh listened 90 my
Father my Fatherl' came softly TO his
ear, paining him with its undertone of DESC
lation. He peered into the alley where the
white, fsring light had sent its glimmer,
and there he saw delicate young form
coming slowly, YEARLY towards him.
The young woman evidently did not see
him, for the plying brown eyes had only
one glimpse of the sweet, weary face before
it was turned from him as its owner walked
tremblingly down the street.
1t was new experience for the earnest
man of business to see woman so illy-clad
and anguish-faced, and he walked behind
her, longing, and yet not knowing how to
comfort. Still his heart was too full to-
night to keep his lips closed long, and reach
ing out towards the dreary wanderer, he
said gently I" Excuse me, miss but over
heard your cry, and would be glad to do
something for you If you are in trouble"
Sobs and shivers shook her as she looked
