Justice to All.

! Now. then. ;Dr tie future. Administer
the government as it ought to be. maintain
fhis law. that justice shall be done to all
the hnmblest and the lowest without dis
tnctiOn of race or color. That is the
/ grand law. that no man shall hurt another,
and here permit me to refer to the dogma
that is more mischievous in our nation
than any other, and it is frequently a,.rib-
uted to American institutions-the great
est good to- the greatest number. No such
thing. The true JetfersOnian and Amcri-
can doctrine, now at least. is the greatest
good to all without injury to single one.
That is our doctrine. 1t extends from ,.ie
highest to ths lowest circle-from the
humhiest laborcr to the wealt!iest man in
the coUntry-justce to all. Our system is
founded upon the idea that all society is
based upon the interchange of labor and
reciprocal services. That is our grand
system.-Aler. II. .Stereas.

How to Utilize Old Fruit Cans,

Perhaps one Of the most appvsDfas.
uses for an old frii, can that rarf be de
vised is to make it contribute to tn,
growth OF new fr,t;. to ill new cans. Tfis
is done in the following manner: The car
is pierced with one or more pin holes, and
then sunk IN the earth near the roots OF
the ss:asHerrS or tomato or other plant
the pin holes to be Of such size that when
the can is filled with water the fluid can
only escape into the ground very slowly.
Thus quart can, properly arranged, will
extend its irrigation to the plant for sever
al days; the can is then retlIled. Practical
trials OF this method of irrigation leave 70
doubt OF its success. Plants thus watered
flourish and yield the most bo.nteous re-
turns throughout the longest drouths. In
all warm localities. where water is scarce,

were not allowed there. The man OF sixty

scene. The sequel proved that he was the

The Butcher and the LAWYER.

a butcher. in a provincial town. callct

A lady had just bcenin his shop buying
choice bit of beef for her worthy hus

panied her, ftrsetting his good manners
had, either in snuifing 1T or testing a nice
roast, t,lmbled it among the sawd,lst where
with the floor was strewn. and soiled it.
His question to the lawyer was:
''ls this lady bound to pay me for aod
receive the said roast? and if SO, how NAV
payment be enforced:''
The lawyer inquired if the lady Was a
good customer, and being answered in the
affirmative. he sud:

The lawyer gave good-natured laugh,

Re y Good Nan, Papa. -

somewhat surprised Us by replying: Il

we thought. we need the exhortation more
than he. And who could give it more e.-

words OF the little preacher have been
ringing il our ears all day, and whether
we wrote letters or editorials, pacisy,ne an
irate correspondent whose eff,.sio.i we
could not publish, or pruned down too
lengthy rcpos., we seemed to hear the
sweet child voice saying: BE good man,
papa If the exhortation had been by
Paul or Peter. would it have had more
force than coming from this little apostle
of innocsnce? We think NOT, at least ta
our heart. Oh! hsw many little children.
if NOT in words. yet by the helplessness OF
their lives, and the truthfulness Of their
little hearts, are pleading most eloquentiy.

cuing of many precious souls from the
