PEARLS.

No legacy is so rich as honesty
The world is his who has patience.
A lean argument is better than a fat
lawsuit.
He that embraces too much. holds
nothing fast.
He know, not what love is that has
not children.
IT'S the blood OF the soldier that m axes
the captain great.
We must accept things as they stand
and act accordingly.
DO rs yoar conscience dictates and
you will not go far astray.
There are few things in life more
interesting than an unrestricted interchange
with congenial spirit, and there are few
things more rare.
There is no merit where there is mo-
trial; and till experience stamps the mark
OF strength, towards may pass for heroes,
faith for falsehoOd.
The character OF wise man consists
in three things-to do himself hat he tells
others 10 do, to act on no occasion contrary
TO Justice and TO bear with the weakness Of
those about him.
Patience is the ballast OF the soul, that
will keep ii from rolling and tumbllng in
the greatest storms, and he who will venture
out without this to make him sail even
and steady, will certainly make shipwreck
and drown himself, first in the cares and
sorrows of the world and then in perdi-
ton.
Why should we ever, without necessity.
try TO pack our sympathy into anything so
narrow and imperfect as laguage? A silent
responsiveness, diffused and respectful
tenderness OF manner, is more gratifying
as we'll as safer in nine cases out of ten.
than any attempt to express sympathy in
words.
Conversation calls out into sight what
has been lodged in the recesses and secret
chambers of the soul. BY occasional hints
and incidents. it brings old useful notions
into remembrance; it unfolds and displays
the hidden treasures of knowledge with
which reading, observation and study have
before furnished the mind.
The gentle mind is like a smooth
stream which reflects every object in its
just proposition and in its iairest colors.
The violent spirit like troubled waters,
renders back the images of things distorted
and broken and communicates to them all
that disOrdered motion which arises solely
from It's own agitation.

1T has been discovered in Connecticut
that the following law, enacted in 1874,
still stands unrepealed on the statute
book of that state: "Every person, who
shall be present at any concert of music,
dancing, or other public diversion on
Sunday, or on the evening thereof, shall
be fined 3d."

Tax for Highway Purposes.

Tax for Highway Purposes.
The Legislature at its session last
winter amended the highway law so as
to allow townships of this state to raise
the highway tax in money and make
highway improvements by letting con-
tracts instead of each man working out
his tax by days work as has been GUS
tOmary. Many have long had the
opinion that the work could be done to a
better advantage and much more econOm-
ically by raising the money bv tax and
letting contracts than under the system
so long in vogue.
Section one, of chapter four, act 243,
1881 provides that the qualified electors
of any township who do not reside in
any incorporated village, may by ma
jOrity vote of those voting, determine
that the highway tax shall be assessed
on money basis, and paid in money
instead Of labor.
Section two, of said chapter provides
that the township boards shall submit
the question to the electors at any an
nual township meeting, or at any special
township meeting held after the annual
meeting prior to the first day of October
in any year, on the written demand Of
twelve or more freehOlders, filed with the
township clerk not less than twelve days
previous to the time of such meeting, and
notice of such vote to be taken, must be
given by the clerk by posting the same
in at least three public places before The
time of such meeting.
Section three provides that at the time
such vote is taken, and at every annual
township meeting thereafter, the electors
present, Immediately after the election
of overseers Of highways, shall, by
majority of those present and voting,
who do not reside in any incorporated
village, determine the amount of tax to
be raised for highway purposes for the
next ensuing year, not exceeding one
half of one per cent. of the aggregate
assessed valuation of the property in
the township, and in case they do not so
determine the amount Of such tax
within the limit above provided, it shall
be fixed by the township board and shall
be levied and collected in the same man
ner as money for general township pur-
poses are levied and collected, but no
part of such tax shall be levied or col
lected within the limits of any incor-
porated village.
There is hardly time for providing
special meeting within the time specified
by the act-priOr to the first day of
October-but it would be we'll for the
citizens of several townships to care
fully consider the question and decide
in their own minds whether or not they
desired to make the change. We believe
that more could be accomplished by the
raising of the money and making the
improvements by contract than by the
old system, and that it would be well
enough to give the system trial, at
least.

GREAT Britain claims to be a free
trade country, nevertheless its receipts
from customs, being tariff on imported
goods, amounted last year to over $780,

English tariff and the American is that
England does not protect its laborers
while the United States does.

A NEW Orleans paper which vigor-

mills in Louisiana says "the little town
of Fall River" made more money in
1877 by the manufacture Of 10000 bales
of southern cotton than New Orleans
made in the same year by handling
100000 bales. 1t has taken the south
erners long time to see that there is
profit in manufacturing and in diversi-
fed agriculture, but they are getting the
idea through their heads.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has
cleared the way for an honest settlement
of the repudiated debt of that State, as
it declares the constitutional amend
ment, by which the reputation was ac-
complished, null and void, and places
the responsibility of the settlement en-
tirely with the Legislature, holding that
that body can appropriate money for the
payment of the repudiated bonds at its
pleasure, without submitting the ques-
ton to vote of the people.

make great ado when an expedition is
sent out against the Indians, either in
this country or foreign lands, and Gen.
Hawley has been giving you such a
flattering account of yourselves that you
Connecticut folks think you are tremen-
dOusly good people. You and Gen. Haw-
ley forget that your ancestors waged the
same warfare against the PequOts, drove
them from their homes and took posses
sion of their land, and that at time
when there was less reason for driving
the Indians than there is now"

ADVICE TO GIRLS.

A correspondent Of the5 Ohio Far
mer, writing in regard to houskeep-
ings, says: And just here allow me to
say few words to those same girls in
regard to this subject. Many of them
say as I did when young, that it is
time enough for me to learn to cook
when I am obliged to do it. But,
girls, take the advice of one who Bit
terly repented taking such a course
and thoroughly and practically in
form yourself while with your moth
err, and believe me when | tell you it
will be much pleasanter than taking
your first lessons under the survcil-
lance OF your mother-in-law or your
pln-feathery husband. If | hadl girls
to bring up. task which, fortunately
or unfortunately, it has never been
my lot to perform, 7 think should
spare no pains in making them well
acquainted with all the mysteries of
housekeeping, especially in the culi-
nary department, as in many instan-
ces, and justly enough too, it detracts
greatly from the value of woman in
the eyes of her husband if she be
poor cook or slovenly house-keeper.
Not that | would wish that to be her
only accomplishment, by any man
ner of means, as l always admired an
educated, refined and talented wo-
man, and when these accomplish
lnents are all combined in woman,
which is far from impossible, she is
but little short Of perfection.
