a very pleasant place for sale. There
were over two acres of land, with
abundant shade and fruit trees, a good
garden, fine view of Long Island
Sound near the Academy, churches,
and schools, and convenient distance
from New York. The cigar money
was drawn upon to purchase the place,
and it is mine.

smoke could see how the children en-

great steamers and the vessels with
their white sails as they course along

Just before or after a storm we hear
very distinctly the roar of old ocean.
1t is then that we think OF the perils of
the sea, and realize the dangers TO
which the brave sailors are exposed.
The children are also interested in the
horse, COW, calf and chickens. They
enjoy their plays and sports on the
green grass, which give them health
and happiness.
My smoking was moderate compared
with that of many, only six cigars

S136.50 per annum, which at Z per
cent. interest for forty-nine years,
amo cunts to the small fortune of SOL

the educat on of my children, with an
appropriate allowance for benevolent
objects.
Great as this saving has been, it is
not TO be compared with improved
health, clear head, and steady hand
at the age of threescore and ten, and
entire freedom from desire for tobacco
in any form.

Among the subject discussed at the
recent meeting OF the Social Science
Association at Saratoga was the "Man-
agement of Chronic Inebriates and In
sane DruDkards," introduced by Il pa.
per read by DIR. A. N. Blodgett, of
Boston. Professor Wayland said a
confirmed drunkard forieits his right
to go at large, and that "places should
be provided where confirmed drunk
ards can be kept confined until they
are cured, even If they are kept there
for life." Judge Peabody, of New
York, said: "There are times when a
drunkard must be physically confined,
but moral treatment mnst also be
used" Rev. DR.. S. |. Prime, of the
New York Observer hit the nail
squarely on the head by saying, as re-
ported by the New York Tribune, that
sthe best remedy the state can apply is
to prohibit the sale of liquor, which
produces intemperance." That is the
true key note, to which social scientists
and all good citizens will do we'll tc
give heed.

Selling CrOps.

As n rule the price offered for crops
when they are ready for it is quite like
ly to be the most profitable for the pro-
ducer. 1t is certainly best for him to
sell ,as is too often the case, he is bur-
doned by debts contracted in making
the crop. The credit given by prompt
/ payment is worth more than the chances
for rise, offset by shrinkagc, loss of
interest and the danger of loosing by
fire and other casualties. If, however,
farmer is forehanded and under no
immediate necessity for the funds to be
obtained by selling his crops, he may
| well consider that much of the crops
must be forced on the market SO soon
as ready, and postpone his sales until
later in the season. This is not specu-
lating in any Objectionable sense; for it
would be obviously impossible for the
entire product of any year TO be thrown
on the market within one or two
months after it was gathered in the
Sronory. Thoro is no sufiioiont capital
in the country to move the crops in this
way nor in the mass of consumers
ready in the fall TO buy their entire sup
plies of breadotufls and provisions for
The ensuing twelve months. Wuch of

sales of farm produce, and that is never
to refuse fair paying price. 1t is the
misfortune of too many farmers that
under their lack of system in accounts
they cannot readily determine what
constitutes paying price. But the
farmer who keeps accounts with his
crops. whose soil is mp TO the average
in fertility, who works faithfully and
INDUCES in no needless evlravNg ances,
may well insist that all his crops that
are moi quickly perishable shall be kept
until they yield him some profit. 1t is
not speculation. but a philosophic en-
forccment of the fact that lab or well
performed in some productive employ
ment should yield profit, and in the
long run such will always be the case.

Tue suffering which has its origin in
strong drink is, in the aggregate, quite
beyond computation. The city of Pat
erson, New Jersey, has lately been in
volved in great anxiety, its public
schools closed, its business interfere d
with, and the health of its citizens
greatly imperilled, by small pox cpl
demic. 1t seems that in the beginning
dissipated, worthless fellow was Ia
liNc' "pJsy-lion.e," where another dissi-
pated, reckless man was employed as a
nurse TO take care of him, The patient
became delirious and escaped to roam
ut large for some time before he could
be caught, spreading the dread disease
right and left, while the nurse was
found ain state of beastly intoxica-
ton on the liquor which had been left
for the patients" A second time the
patient escaped and gave the city ply
sicians another chase after him, and
meanwhile the drunken nurse sobere d
up enough to run OIL with his own and
his PATIENTS small pox infected cloth
ing to still more widely spread the di-
sease. 1t is bad enough for Paterson,
and exposes also adjacent communities.
The root of the whole trouble is in the
bottle. 1t is worth while to note that
the experience of the London Temper
ance Hospital and of such eminent
physicians as DR.. N. S. Davis, of Chi
cago, has demonstrated that intoxica-
ting liquors are not q necessity in the
treatment of disease, in hospital prac-

TENTS proved, it appears, the spark
which set the city on fire with rag
ing. well nigh uncomfortable disease.
Society, as Patterson illustrates, can
not afford to perpetuate the liquor IL
cense system, and thus to manufacture
tramps "and bummers," nor to allow,
even in the hospital, strong drink TO be
tempered with.

There was a very good attend
anee, largely composed of Demo
Gratis, on Register Bruee's speech
at the Opera House on last Satur-
day. Mr.. Bruce is pleasant and
agreeable speaker, and delivered
a good, intelligent speech. His
conservative character, and excep-
tional, for a Southern Republican,
record, makes of him a fayOrite
here among all classes. And had
his visit here, his old home, been
on any other mission this would
have been made more manifest
than it was. But his coming was
at the dictation of the Republican
Congressional Executive Commit
tee, and in loaning his influence to
the Jeffords interest, he was mere
ly performing the bidding of a
boss. 1t was of part of that VI
cious system of Federal interfer-
ence in State politics, that is now
undergoing so severe a rebuke in
New York and Pennsylvania.
AS an instance of the malignan-
cy of those who have sent Mr..
Bruce South we publish the fol-
lowing; part of the text of the
annual campaign document now
being sent out by the Republicans:
Sedition, reasonable plot
tings, turbulence and scenes of
blood and deviltry like the CHS
holm massacre and the Dixon
assassination, and the countless
assassinations during the last
twelve years, all over the late
Confederacy, are indigenous to
their daily life. Like the brutal
oligarchs, or pro-slavery mobiles of
the middle or dark ages, whose in-
stitution or laws our old slave
owners largely adopted, and whose
tyranny and lives they still imi-
tate; like those noble oligarchs,
as ignorant as sanguinary, ever in
revolt against their king or en-
gagged i'll furious raids against their
neighbors; numbering, burning and
plundering like them. 10 our old
pro-slavery oligarchs, our recent
slave owners, and their descend
ants the exercise ofpower through
violent scenes of deviltry forms
the highest qualification of their
natures. Peace and obedience to
law is absolutely their hell; hence
into Congress, upon obtaining pos.
session of its two houses, they
naturally transferred the turbulent
spirit which rules in their States.r
