THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.
Those who toll to earn their bread
Need not blush to own their lot
They in noble footsteps tread.
And claim to live have got.
Toll is not the wage of sin,
For in Eden work was given
Man was made to work and win
Spoils OF earth and bliss of heaven.

striking while the iron glOws.
Though he works with horny hanG-.
Nobiy strikes the ringing blows.
At the loom. and in the field,
In the shop and on the soil.
Where men wisely power wicld.
There is dignity in toll.
He who works with throbbing brain.
Thinks to teach men how TO live:
Writes that Others good may gain.
Speaks to truth fresh Zcst to give.
lie can claim the manly right
With the sons OF toll TO stand:
lie asserts his mental might.
Helps to bless his native land.
He who lives Il life OF ease,
Idly wasting all his days
Aiming only self to please.
Filled with pride and courtin" praise
Call him not 4 noble man.
such existence is a shame:
And when ends lifr's black span.
soon will die his empty name.
Labor brings reward and rest.
Educatcs the latent powers:
And he serves his age the best
Who employs the golden hours:
Working not beyond his might.
Toiliny not against his will.
And beneath his masters sight
Clad his mission to fulfil.
All things labor tor our good.
He who made liz never sleeps:
lie who tillS the ground for food.
For his pains Il harvest rcaps.
None who work need feel ashamed.
As they do what good they can:
'TiS an honor 10 be named.

place where battle was fought.
Plaistod, they said, WAS coward, and

though the people of Maine are con-
WINGED that the war IS over, and are glad
Of it, they have q pride in the reputation
Of The man who fought on the Union

stream of Islander begin TO flow than the
votes Of Maine began TO espouse the
cause OF the soldiers. They did this the
more vigorously because the men who
run tho Radical Blaine,
Frye, Hale and the like-were in the
Army only By substitute, if at all. The
exodus from the Radical party in Maine
has only commenced. 1t will increase
every day until November End. At this

there seems to be 10 doubt that Plaisted
is elected and that such case will be
made before the United States House of

District, so that three Conservative Con-
grossmen will sit in the House after

The Women Of Montenegro.

The Montenegrin woman takes an
equal share of labor with the man at
field work, and she does all the car
rying. In travel here one engages
horse to ride and woman for the
baggage. Only those who have
neither wife, mother, daughter nor
dependent female relation shoulder
burdens, as common thing.
Transport by animals also is de-
partment Of female occupation.
Coming from Cett'nje here, one
meets packhorses, mules, donkeys,
going up in dro7es, with gang of
women following. Tremendous
weights they carry, slung by straps
that cross the upper chest, and as
they go they knit OF spin. These
jewellers by the frontier are much
better looking than the unmixed
race of the interior, but not less
hardy, strong, and independent
They have no shame or hesitation in
begging, and universal mendjcancy
on the part of women and girls
must, imagine, have it's influence
on morality. In leaving Montene-
gro, the traveller carries with him a
deep regard and admiration for the
gallantry, the manliness, the shrewd
intelligence of this strange people.
He is constrained to wish them we'll
and to hope that they will acquire
means to live at peace hereafter.

The1St. Paul Globe tries to impress
upon the minds of it's readers that
all the Republicans outside of St.
Paul are set of ignoramuses, judg.
ing from the following editorial in
the issue of the 10th inst: "The Pio-
neer Press, with characteristic mean
ness, declares that Northern Mime
sofa is entitled to the Speakership of
the legislature. This is done for the
purpose Of choking down the aspira-
tions Of Gen, Sanborn, of st. Paul,
and Loren Fletcher, of Minneapolis
One or the other of these gentlemen
should have the place. There is no
Republican in the State outside of
these two cities who knows enough
to be Speaker. It must come to one
Of these towns or the party will be
disgraced.''
This will undoubtedly be unex.
pected Jews to large number of
Republicans Of this State outside of
the above named cities. We never
heard of the Republican party of
Minnesota being disgraced hereto
fore on account of the Speakers, al.
though a great many of Them have
been selected from places outside OF
St. Paul and Minneapolis. If Brother
Hall will only take a little trouble
to look about among the leading Re.
publicans Of our State outside of the
cities of concentrated wisdom, we
feel confident that he could find quite
a number who would be just about
as well qualified for the Speakershif
as the gentlemen whom he has men
toned.

La Crosse received pretty severe
shaking on Monday evening of last
week by the explosion of about one
and one.half tons of powder, which
was stored in powder house in the
suburbs of the city. Two shootists
named Stair and Arnold took no.
ton to fire at a mark on the powder
house, and the result was that one
of the bullets went through the wall
and into the powder, resulting in
the blowing up of the whole concern.
The marksmen were thrown to the
ground and stunned for few mo-
ments, but soon recovered and tried
to get off, but were caught by the
police later in the day Besides the
loss of the powder, the shock caused
considerable damage to numerous
chimneys and windows in the city
The shock was felt in Sparta, %
miles distant, also in Hokah on the
opposite side Of the Mississippi
river.
