The Value Of d Dollar.

Il. We once employed for short time
IN ditching, man, who at 81 years of
age was worth some $4,000, but who
lost most of it, on the whole, foolishly,
and was compelled, for time, at least,
to support his family by working for
daily wages. One night when we paid
hum, he said, I'm much obliged both
for the wages and the tuition" We sup
posed he referred to instruction in lay
ing tile drains, but he said, @No, I
mean instruction as to the value of
money. ] never knew what dollar
was worth before. But, after working
all day in the ditch to earn one, I'm not
likely to spend Is cents of it for cigar
or any other nonsense"
We could point out scores of city
boys who have become miserable spend
thrifts from the lack of just such knowl-
edge. Their fathers were more or less
wealthy, but the sons were not put into
the Office, or mill, or. shop, and made
fairly to earn their money by tiresome
labor, either physical or mental. Their
fathers said to themselves: my sons
shall never have to drudge as did,"
and SO the boys did no labor, bore no
responsibility and never learned how
money was fairly and honorably earned,
and, of course: never knew it's value or
it's proper use.
In a certain rural district we know we
can count, within radius of ten miles,
more than as many young or middle
aged farmers who have since their ma
jority run through" from $4,000 to
$1,000 each that their hard-working
fathers left them; and all because they
never learned the value of dollar.
One such, on his sudden accession to
his property, thought to impress some
OF his young friends at hotel where
they had stopped for dinner by spread
ing 800 bill on his slice of bread and
butter and eating it with great appar-
ent relish. He did Empress" the one
he might have married with the belief
that she had better not marry man
who was both spendthrift and fool; and
the young man in less than twenty
years saw the time when he was glad to
get the bread and butter, without the
800 bill for relishl In youth he had
never been taught to labor, had had
large stock of spending money COM
pared with the other farmers sons, and
supposed the only limit to the amount
was "the old mans stinginess." -Ralral

A Cruel Wife.

The infinite variety of husbands and
wives seems inexhanstible. A large
man with a very small wife in Brook.
Ign brought suit for divorce on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. He had been separated from her
some time, but every Saturday called
at her house to leave her some money
which she would not accept. Then he
left it on the table and she denied him
the door, and he tucked it in the crack.
The next week the crack was filed with
rags, and, breaking window, he threw
the money in. Almost anything will
be believed of such wife as that, but
the husbands are rare that would want
q divorce from them,

Rest.

It is work, work, work with us, until
verify it is wonder that the dullress
which was predicted for the figurative
Jack" if he labored ceaselessly and
never played, has not swamped the ma
ton in imbecility. A certain eminent
physician maintains that rest and aotiv-
ity might be aptly compared to two
sentinels, having between them the duty
to perform Of guarding camp or fort
ress. They must take their charge in
turns-when the one goes off the
other comes on. We're activity to re-
main too long on duty the heart would
hutter and fail, the brain would reel,
and the sentinel drop dead of fatigue;
on the other hand, rest might remain
long enough on guard to fall asleep.
Thus, even rest may be over-done, and
conduce to sloth, e's9aati, and atony
OF the brain. And yet how many OF
the hundreds of thousands in this great
city who possess such vital camps or
1ortresses think it necessary to look out
for the welfare of their sentinels? For
eigners regard us with awe and wonder;
they say that the rush and hustle of

European rests when it is necessary
an American works when it is unneces-
sary. There may have been some ex-
ouse for this tension of exertion while
the country was yet an unreclaimed
wilderness. and the inroads of nature
and savages had to be considered; but
now that the nation is upon its feet
and, to use vulgarism, almost runs

as it is disastrous. Wedo not for mo-
ment doubt that Young America will

and persons of remote nativity with

which are destined to affect communi-
ties and influence established usages

man who has worked all his life and
retires to the discussion of rest and an
enjoyment such as an ancient horse
may experience when, halt and blind,
he is turned into a blasted pasture, will
say that what his generation lived
through will not prove too severe for
succeeding generations. Possibly he
may admit, if he be of liberal turn of

cruited himself; but it is now too late.

There is wonderful oak tree on the
west side of Fall creek, in the Phillips
graveyard, near Carthage, N. @. This
tree died and remained dead for several
years, all the limbs and twigs falling of,
leaving nothing but the body cf the
tree standing. A man named Grandy
league in that section died and was
buried at the base of the tree, after
which the tree came to life, flourished
and is three feet in diameter at the base,
having as fine limbs and boughs as one
could wish to see. ....s

lleatl, OF zeke f1urnes.

Our readers will remember Ezekie
Hughes, known as Zeke Hughes, whs
has been insane for about forty years
and been an inmate of our County
Infirmary for long years. Zeke was
perfectly harmless, and was original
ly from Huntington township. Zeke
was in the habit Of wandering of
from the Infirmary, and being gone
two, three or four days. On Wed
nesday last he left the Infrmary ac-
companied with the two dogs be-
longing there. Thursday night, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock he
halted at Mr.. Guy Fry's, in Guy
an township. He did not apply for
admission, bat talked to himself
around the house, he being in the
habit almost constantly of talking
thus. Mr.. Fry hearing, as he sup
posed, several persons about the
house, got up, and getting his reyol-
yer fred several shots ia the direc-
tion Of the noise. Nothing further
was heard, apd Mr.. Fry retired for
the night. On the following morn
ing he found dead man close to the
house, whom he did nos know, and
informed the neighbors. Mr.. Fry
had received about $3.50 from the
sale of land the day before, and liv-
ing in a neighborhood where stealing
and robbery have been carried on,
very naturally supposed from the
voices, movements, etc, that robbers
were abont, and fired the unfortun-
ate shot. An inquest was held, re-
sulting in the disclosure of the name
Of the deceased. No one regrets the
shooting more than does Mr.. Fry,
who is and has been a good citizen
for years and years, and no blame is
attached to him. The shot entered
the right arm of Zeke, passed through
his body, entering about the third
rib an ! lodging in the left arm. The
dogs that went with him returned to
the Infirmary about 2 o'clock on Sat-
urday. Mr.. Fry, about year ago,
had his gunsmith shop burglarized,
and about SIS worth Of tools stolen
and carried over into West Virginia.
