that man becomes q s'sponge;" If he has
no friends who will feed and clothe him,
but must go from stranger to stranger
for sustenance, he is q ''beggar;" if he
can't do this, it is but q step to the poor

On the other hand. if q young man

Who makes tie man?
The boy does. But the boy must be
helped. Whenever . boy Is induced
to attend to his woie, when he has
work to attend to, and attend to les
sons when he has lessons to learn, he is
being helped to form the industrious
habits that shall make him successful

save his money instead of spending it

being helped to form habits of econ

Whenever boy is induced to obey
the reasonable authority of parents,
guardians and teachers, he is forming
the habit of obedience to the civil laws
of the land when he becomes a man,
and learning to cherish an appreciation
for the rights and welfare OF society.
And thus it is that boy who has the

Sow Clover.

TALK or dream as much as you please
about preserving or restoring the fer
tility of the farms of the Northwest
with stable manure, phosphates, lime,
plaster, mari, guano, or any other fer
tilizer, it cannot be done. The plains
OF the Mississippi Valley are too vast
for any such twopenny operation. They
can never be fully preserved in that
way. But clover is equal to anv
emergency and any extent of country.
By it-and by it a1one-so far as expe-
rience and science have developed any
agent for this purpose, the present fer
tile soil of this greatest grain and grass
field the world has can be transmitted
unimpaired to posterity. There are
thousands of waste places and deserts
on the earth which were once fertile,
which could have been saved from des.
olatiop by the free use of clover. This
rich and enriching grass has never had
full credit for all its virtues. While it
is enriching and preserving the soil in
its native productiveness, it at the
same time yields an equally profitable
crop as any other grass or cereal.
On or near the sea coast where fields
are limited and the products of the
soil can be disposed of at twice or
thrice the price of that produced so far
as this from market, farmers may be
able to replenish their soil with com
mercial fertilizers, or with Menhaden
fish; but the world does not now, nor
can it at any future time. produce
enough of these articles to fertilize one
fourth of the Northwest. We there
fore beseech farmers to commence in
time with more clover, and arrange the
farm with the right kind of stock to use
it profitably. -I0acG State Register.

They Had to Stop. ,

ON the train coming east over the De.
troit, Lansing & Northern Road the
other night were two well known poll
ticians of this State, one a resident Of
Detroit and the other of Grand Rapids.
The seat behind them was occupied by
an old lady with an eye like hawk and
a nose as sharp as q pointed stick, and
she had her grandson in charge, boy
about two years old. The boy had
fretted and worried for miles, and was
feeling sleepy when tho politicians
dropped into the seat and began mildly
discussing the situation. The old lady
kept an eye on them and patted the
boy, and his eyes had just closed in
sleep when they began to warm.
Hancock exclaimed one, "why,
he'll be so badly beaten out of sight
that you'll never hear his name called
again"
"Nonsenser' retorted the other,
shell not only be squarely elected, but
you can't lie himout of his Office as you
did Tilden.''
At this moment the old lady gave
each dig with her fist and hoarsely
whispered:
81 want you both to shut upr'
"Hey? What's the matter2" they
queried, in establishment.
Matter enough. This young'un
squalled, and kicked, and bit, and
howled for more than fifty miles before
I could get him quieted down, and now
l won't have no jawing around here to
wake him up?''
But, madam, I must convince this
Democrat that he is bound for the luna
tic asylum"
"And must show this. Republican
that his arguments are but wind and
conceit."
"And I say won't have itr' she ex-
claimed, as she shook her fist between
their noses. 81 don't care nothing
about Democrats or Republicans, or
Unions, or Presidents, or Republics or
else. I've got this young 'un
asleep after two hours hard work, and
the villain who wakes him up has got
to look out for me and tough old UNI
brella all the rest of the way to Detroit,
and my son-in-law will lick him the
mint the train gets in! Now jaw away
If you darev'
The best they could do under the cir
was to go forward into the
leaving the old lady rock
ing to and fro and singing:
Little Bopeep has lost his sheep,
And don't know where to find him."

With dear little pink-tipped hand.
And speak to the little sister
In way that she'd understand:
And whenever brother came near me
With anything sweet to say,
I'd show him how much loved him
In my own little baby way.
No matter how dark the weather,
No matter how rain might fall,
I'd be like q bit of sunshine
To brighten and cheer you all;
And II mamma should ever be weary.
Or tired and fretted with pain,
I'd help to make her forget Il,
And warm her heart again.
I'd be such perfect darling
With my innocent, smiling face,
So dimpled and sweet and precious,
So full of delight and grace,
So near Gods beautiful angels
That I'd bring you near them. too

The Postmaster General of France
receives salary of only $40. 900 q year,
and his four assistants obtain only from
81, 800 to $1,000 each. The Chief Post
master Of Paris has salary of but 3d.
GOO. and the pay Of clerks employed in
the Central Administration ranges any
where from $500 to 5000 q year. The
compensation of provincial Postmasters
rises from minimum of $3.50 In the
small towns, to maximum of 81, 600 in
the larger cities. In the United States,
where Post-office officials receive much
larger salaries. there is always con-
siderable annual deficiency in the rev.
enue, whereas. in France, the CORE
spending revenue yields the Govern
ment a large surplus above expenses.
