Temperance is attracting much attention, show
ing itself in local option laws societies, crusades
and restrictions upon liquor production; but with
all these efforts the consumption is enormous, and,
undoubtedly, the is because there is nothing
strenuously advocated to relieve and destroy the
craving for stimulants. But, if the disease was
treated nationally, by arousing the torpid Liver
with Simmons Liver Regulator, the displrited
drunkard would find his cravings soon dissipated
and with cleared head and active Liver he would
not want liquor. sep3O 1t

Policing.

A. thorough system OF policing last spring
served Q restore and keep our town In It's nor
mally healthy condition. The summer previous
we had suffered from number Of cases Of
feyor, several Of which proved fatal. There is
no place 80 healthy but ii may by neglect Of
cleanliness bio rendered subject TO fevers and
other diseases, whilo by proper policing no
such cases can be found. We do not know what
steps our city fathers haves taken in this direo-
tion this spring or whether anything is needed
to,be dono, but we hope the matter will. not be
overlooked. Prompt attention to. tho thorough
draining and cleansing OF all filthy places may
save much misery and expense as well as render
life moro secure. Wo merely ollude to. this
matter by way Of calling attention 10 IT, as we
are satisfied our attentive and. efficient council
will look carefully to whatever is calculated to
promote tho health and welfare Of our town.

The Seasons.

IA distinguished British scientist has pre-
diotod u great drought this summer as tho
historical sequence Of the heavy freezes of
the past winter. He quotes various instances
ranging from the second century to the press
ent time, to confirm his theory"
There is no accounting for the seasons, and
apart from tho observation Of years the
opinion of soienoo is worth but little moro
than Of ordinary men. In fact it is reoog.
nized rule. based on the experience Of years,
that cold winter is the precursor Of plen-
teous crop year. This too is based on reason,
tho pulverization of tho soil by dccp and
frequent freezes aud its enrichment by the
absorption of ammonia from snow aud the
protection Of the surface from tho sun in the
samo way. 1t is however always well to be
prepared for every emergency, and happily
tho Sumo preparation of the soil is rrotecs
ton against too much rain or heavy
drought. In deep blowing the farmer is pro-
tected largely from the washing Of the land
aud it's becoming too wet, deep soil like
large sponge absorbing more water. In tho
same way he is protected from drought, as
the greater the quantity of water the soil
can take up and hold the longer it will be in
drying out. Whether then we have wet or
dry or seasonable aummer the safety aud
abundance Of the crop depends largely on
human agency. Thorough preparation of
tho soil with good tillage rarely if ever fails
to return an average crop, while without
these the best Of seasons will do little more.
We oil complain too much ut Providence.
whoher it rains too much or too little. Dill.
gence and good Judgment can supply seasons
and if we will do our part failures will
rarely happen.

Trifes

There arc great many things in the world
which people COLL triaes under one form or
an, other, and in fact if the sum Of human
life, it,! accidents and events, was put down
| in order, ninety nine hundredths of them
would bo wt:at, as isolated aots, are called
triles. It's trihr,a. don't care, its nothing,
are common expresslC.ns in tho vocabulary Of
life and nothing is moro dangerous than tho
cultivation of such opinion1 and express
sions.
"Tis nothing" says tho fool; but says tie
friend,
"This nothing, sir, will bring you I'd your
end"
There are no such things as trines in the
world. God never mado triHo nor can
man as q free agent denomnate truly anyr
thing as such. The earth is composed of
particles OF matter, many too small for OBJ.
servation by the naked eye. The oceans and
seas are drops of water thrown together. So
tho evonts of human life are many and con-
sst of small acts which. following eaoh other.
create wealth or poverty, happiness or mis-,
cry. Wore we to disregard the little "doeds
of kindness and lttlo words of love-" which
make life happy, it would leave it void.
The great River Amazon, which, By ite force,
plows its way hundreds of miles into the
ocean. forming tho gulf stream, rises from
and is formed by many springs and rivulots.
The mighty oak, which refuses to bow be.
fore tho storm, sprung from the little germ
in the heart Of the acorn. So in long life
the good or bad acts of men accumulate and
entail happiness or misery, though no ono
separately looks Of much importance. Who
can estimate the results Of nm angry wordY
Once spoken it can never bo recalled, but
goes on its mission of discord, it may be of
death. So every moment of life is valuable.
In fact moment is oil we oun call our own
at time. When it is passed it is gone for,
ever. Tho future we cannot forcsoo or en-
JOY except as it comes moment by moment.
The present. only belongs to Us and it is a
mere instant and what many in tho ordinary
pursuits of life regard trle. We mistake
greatly whom wo call anything triAe in the
material or moral world, in animal or vegc.
table life.
If people could realize and act on this in
tho ordinary pursuits Of life thcre would be
moro successes and fewor failures, moro hap.
piness and less misery. There is no pursuit
in which this should be actod on
more than in farming. It is tho little
odds and ends about farm that mako much
of its profits. 1t is the neglect of tools and
other email things that constitute tho bulk of
tho loss. A day lost at this or that season is
regarded .piao, when such loss can be-
traced through tho year and is soon aud fclt
in tho harvest. 1t is regarding too many
little things about farm as triAes which
croates so many unsuccessful farmers. Often
neighboring farmers, each having equally
fertilo lands, enjoying tho same rain and
sunshine, ono grows rich, the othor fails. In
worldly parlanoc, ono is said to bo o lucky

and the ether an 1nluoky man. There is
nothing Of truth In this nssigned reason for
the difference. There is no suoh thing as
luck except in games Of chance, where rea.
son has no place. 10 tho various ayocations
OF life Judgment, onergys mud industry are
the passports to success aud they never full
to win. Under the operation of these every.
thing is utilized and no time 10 lost. Tho
consequence is. the man exercising them is
said to DO lucky, but his luck SO called is
within tho reach of oil. Maybe means
never; don's care brings to ruin; tie nothing
is oheat md q snaro. and there are no tri-
hes in human life. Let oil so dol ind oil will

Mahone.

This Virginia Brigadier has occupied no
littlo of tho time Of tho United States Senate
for tho past two weeks. The attacks madc
on him by Hill. of Georgia. has given him
wider reputation than ho would have
gained on his merits ir a service of twenty
years in the Senate. We cannot SOC tho wis.
| dom of the course of the Democratic Seua-
tors in this matter or that any good is likely
to fow from it. Tho tendency was to drive
off Mahono himself and'to injuro the Demo-
cratic party at large by IN effort to unity it's
vote on all SUBJECTS independent of tho spe-
oial opinion Of each Senator on any given
subject. 1t may be tho Republicans have
set the example of intolerance and cracking
tho party whip ON nll occasions, but we con
slider it bad precedent and one better in the
breach than in the observance. Tho country
can never have peace and secure wise and
impartial legislation while it's national Leg
islature is controlled by two factions fighting
for supremacy and the spols of Office. In
this warfare time is consumed, expense in
Cured and bitterness kept alive, while the
great objects and purposes, of Congress arc
lost sight of. The reply of Malone to tho
attack of Hill and other Democratic Senators
contained only a defense Of himself and an
attack on sone of his Democratic colleagues.
There is nothing in it relative to national
| affairs. So Congress has been passing its
tine in personal structures and in filibuster-
n,e i'',r weeks. While tho Democrats had
control tie Republicans flibustered to pre-
90 ut nm o~ga .nization by olccting officers of
tho holv ma nc,v that tho Republicans with
Mohoro h,ye e,n,.rol the Democrats are
taking tho samo course. If this continues tbo

hope tho Democrats, seeing themselves in the
minority, will yield to the inevitable anL tho
body complete its work and adjourn. In in
dependent voting lies tho safety of tho couna
try, testing every measure by it's merits and
supporting or rejecting it. This will tend to
destroy factions and turn the minds of all to
tho good of the country as tho chief aim and
end Of all Legislation.
