There are certainly no products
OF the arts so cheap as the news
paper, aud it is difficult to imagine
any other thing. Were II not a
medium for the communication OF
the commercial needs of the COM
munty, which form part OF It's
Income, but are not strictly one OF
its journalistic functions, it would
be impossible to furnish what It
does at the prices which it gets.
That on the whole it does not pay
like other furnished products the
cake, the cigar, tue oyster supper,
the ribbon, the laces, the glass OF
beer---can only be explained on the
theory oace advanced by the Eng
lish philosopher who was asked why
the manufactures OF ale were all

poor. "Because," he replied, "for

STONE THE WOMAN

Yes, stone the wemaL-let the man free!
Draw back your skirts lest they Perchance,
Nay touch her garments as she passes;
But to him put forth Wiling hand
To clasp with his that led her TO destrue-
ton
Aud disgrace. shutup from her the sacred
WAYS Of toll, that she may no more win an
Honest meal, but ope TO him all honorable
Paths that he may win distinction.
Give nae fair pressed-down measures
ofliie's sweetest joys. Pass her,
Oh, maiden, with pure, proud face,
If sne puts oat poor, polluted palm.
But lay thy hand in his on bridal day.
And swear to cling to him
With wilely love and tender reverence;
Trust him who led sister woman
To fearful fate,
Yes, stone the woman-let the man go free
Let one soul suffer for the guilt of two
Is the doctrine of hurried world,
Too out Of breath for holding balances
Where nice distinctions aud injustices
Are calmly weighed. But ah how will
il be
On that strange dey Of final fire and flame
When men shall stand before the one
True Judgef Shall sex make then
A difference in sinf Shall He,
The searcher of the hidden heart.
In his eternal aud divine decree.
Condemn thewoman and forgive the man,
Every Saturday.

All we have to do, gentlemen, Is
to think OF the wrecks on either

breasts of weaping and despairing

wrecked, the men struggling with
imaginary serpents, produced by
this devilish thug; aud when you
think Of the jails, the alms-houses,
of the asylums, of the prisons, OF
the scaifolds npon either bank, DO
not wonder that every thoughtful

the rutlianly tramp, as he walked
inside the door. Bangl went the
pistol, and tue tramp staggered
back on the porch, shot through

the pistol again. but the tramp fled.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement of VIM.
J. COughlin. of SOmerville, Mass, is
so remarkable that we beg to ask for
it the attention of our readers. He
says: "In the fall of 1876 l was taken
with a VIOLENT BLEEDING OF THE
LUNG followed by a severe cough.
/ soon began to lose my appetite and
flesh. | was so weak at one time
that l could not leave my bed. In
the summer of 1877 l was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there
the doctors said l had a hole in my
left lung as big as half dollar. 1
expended over 500 in doctors and
medicine. l was so far gone at one
time a report went round that was
dead. l gave up hope, but friend
told me of DIR. WIN. HALLS
BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. L
laughed at my friends, thinking that
nv case was incurable, but | got a
bottle to satisfy them, when to my
surprise and qualification, COM
menced to feel better. My hope.
once dead, began to revive, and to-
day feel IN better spirits than L
have the past three years.
Il write this hoping you will pub
lish it, so that everyone afflicted with
diseased Lungs will be induced to
take DIR. WM. HALLS BALSAM
FOR THE LUNGS, and be con-
WINGED that CONSUMPTION CAN
BE CURED. 1 have taken two
bottles and can positively say that
it has done more good than all the
other medicines 1 have taken since
my sickness. My cough has almost
entirely disappeared and l shall
soon be able TO go to work" Sold
