A Word to Our Girls.

Girls, whatever else you may do,
do not marry a drunkard
No matter how deeply in love
you may fancy yourselves to be, do
not marry a man who drinks lntoX
icating liquor.
1t is better to be an old maid,
and miss the desired Mrs. from your
tombstone. 1t is better to 20 on
through life single and alone, to
to keep a cat, and make aprons for
the heather children, than to be u
drnnkard's wife.
Young men addicted to taking a
glass now and then will doubtless
laugh at you if you call their habit
IA vice, or hint that it is III any wise
dangerous. They assure you in IA
lordly way, that they know what
they are about! They wonder what
YOU take them for! Haven't they
control enough over themselves to
take a social glass now and then,
and stop there ? Why, you talk as
if they were common drunkards!
And so they are liable to become.
There is no safety in playing with
poison. He who touches pitch
must be dcfled. The first glass
makes room for the second. The
appetite for strong drink grows
with what it is fed upon. The nan
who drinks Il glass of brandy or
whiskey to day will want another
tomorrow. Ii he is not strong
enough to abstain from the first
glass, how is he to put away the
second.
Young woman, beware OF him
Shun him as you would one infect
ed with the plague!
Oh, young girls, fair and pnre,
and loving, think Of what lies be
fore you! Think otthe moral con.

ton i'll ever SO remote Il degree.
Oh, that the woman Of our nation
would turn their faces, as one w0-
man, eternally from the man who
drinks! On, that the mothers
would close the doors OF their
houses against the wine drinking
man as against the leper, and let
society understand that no embryo
drunkard will be received as honor
ed and respected into its ranks.
Call us radical, or tanaticali if you
Wilt matters not ; we are bound
to stick to the belief, born with Us
that no man is safe who takes the
first glass of liquor. For if he takes
the first glass of liquor he may want
the second, but if he never takes
the first he can not take the sec,

And again we say to you, young
girls, beware! No matter how
handsome, or fascinating, or veal

Value of Shade.

A perfect sheep range implies
plenty of shade at some airy point
where the flock can, after feeding
through the cooler hours of the a
lier day, resort to escape the burn
ing rays of the summer sun. In
permanent pastures shade can be
had by planting trees where they do
not naturally exist. Temporary
shelters may be economically con
structed from boards laid flat upon
posts six to eight feet high, where
timber is remote, or by throwing
boughs and brush upon a rude
framework offorks and poles where
these can be easily secured. The
time and expense involved in the
construction of such a shelter will
be trifing in comparison to the
advantage resulting to the flock.
AS elsewhere intimated. in discuss
ing the need of water, the instinct
OF the sheep can usually be safely
trusted as an index of its necessi-
ties. Sheep, as eagerly as man,
seek shade when the heat becomes
oppressive; and to deprive them
of its enjoyment is neither ecOnomi-
cal nor mercitul.
Like many other good things of
life, this matter of shade for sheep
may be abused, if not carefully look
ed after by the hock.master. In
excessively hot weather, the flock
may spend more time than necessa-
~ in the coveted shade. If such
inclination is tvinced, let the shep-
ard, at the proper time, walk quiet
~ about the resting place, and, by
somewhat scattering the animals,
turning their attention towards the
pasture. Again the closehuddling

SYMPTOMS of aDiseasedLiver

DAM in the right side, under the
| edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and 1t
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism IN the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of mem
Dry, accompanied with a painful sen
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done,
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it, In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

The Census of 1880.

Mr.. s. S. Cox has introduced bill
into the House of representatives to
provide for taking census of 1880
This is right; it is also right that
Governors of States, instead of the
Secretary of the Interior, shall have
the appointments of the parties who
are to make up the returns in the sew
eral States. Mr.. Cox's bill NAV be
exactly what is needed, but the prob
abilities are that it is not sufficiently
prepared, and therefore we suggest to
the distinguished gentlemen having it
in charge to strive to make it as per-
feet rs possible. There is nothing in
our past history so essential to the
welfare of the people, and can be moth
ing in the future more essential than
the census of so. Fo: sixty years
the people steadily marched forward
to prosperity and greatness, and then
onehalf of the country went mad, and
for twenty years have not only thrust
the 9th er half out Gifts natural chan
mel, but dor it's utmost to commit
social suicide and national destruc-
ton. In sixty years American wealth
was increased from five hundred mil
lions, and though not one dollar has
been produced since Lineoln's elec-
ton, Governor Tilden says seven
thousand FIVE hundred millions have
been used up by the faction in power,
which has mortgaged Northern labor
to the Jews, aristocrats and princes of
the Old World. There has been no
true census taken since 1860, and
therefore that of 1880 must bring out
all the facts and let the people see the
depth and width, of the awful gulf
they are plunged into in pursuit OF
miscegenation with negrodom!

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., ]
February Is. 1879. (

The Democrats in Congress have
never been more united and determin-
ell upon any question of policy than
they now are in the resolution to re-
peal the "test oath" as it is called,
and certain obnoxious and partisan
sections of the election law. 1t has
been one of the difficulties confront
ing the Democratic majority in the
House, to secure unity of sentiment
and harmony of action. So many
conflicting interests exist, and so
many pronounced differences upon
minor questions have obtained, that
an effective policy has been impossi-
Bile, and party discipline imperative.
And worse than all that there has
been lack of nerve, or, to put it mildly,
an excess Of conservatism, which has
caused measures that were essential
ly Democratic and patriotic measures,
to suffer defeat at the hands of the
more active and partisan minority.
This was the case last session i'll
Army legislation, and caused mac
ton upon some of the appropriations.
But now there is a prospect of blood,
determined and decisive action.
The enactments sought to be re-
pealed are encroachments upon the
constitutional liberties of the people.
They were placed upon the statute
books by . reckless partisan Congress
for partisan advantage and ends.
The jurors test oath operates only in
the Southern States, where it enables
corrupt federal judges of the Billings,
Settle and Bond stripe. to pack juries
and outrage reputable citizens with

has been done, and is being done to
day IL Florida and Louisiana. The
Objectionable sections of the election
law also marked for repeal, are not,

The Legislature is considering the
propriety of extending it's session,
but it seems that not enough Of the
members are in favor of it to pass it.
So far as We can see it will likely be
better to adjourn at the expiration of
the specified time. On this subject
the Register says unless the session
can be extended to sufficient period
to allow of deliberate and careful
consideration of the measures Of
general character which are still
pending. we are of the opinion that
only evil would be the result. An

Captain Paul Boynton, who enter
ed the Allegheny river at Oil City
Thursday morning, arrived at Pitts
burgh at $3.50 Sunday afternoon, and
was enthusiastically greeted by near
ly 10000 people, who lined both sides
of the river from the mouth of the
Allegheny to the eastern city limit.
Boyton expected to make the trip of
1872 miles with but one stop, but the
weather was so severe on Thursday
night that he had to stop at Emlen-
ton. Friday afternoon he stopped at
Mahoning and that night at Free
port. He made 43 miles on Thurs
day, 30 on Friday, 81 Saturday, and
q on Sunday, and was in the water
altogether about forty-one hours. His
face was badly frosted, and when he
arrived at Pittsburgh he was greatly
exhausted. He regards this as the
most severe experience he has yet
had, but expects to be all right in a
few days. The weather was unfavor-
able, being bitterly could, with oc-
casional snow storms, and there was
considerable floating ice in the stream.
