Thoughtless Cruelty.

luouSn cruelty.
II was beautiful, calm evening
lovehest OF the autumnal season,
when, after The tolls and cares ofthe
day ! set ont to refresh my body
and mind, by inhailing the gentle
breeze. The sun was declining the
F.. feathered tribes seemed to be re-
spending to each other in pouring
out their hymns OF gratitude to their
benodeent Creator, and the hocks
wero following the tinkline bell of
their leader to The fold.
Presently | saw a man at some
little distance, who appeared to be
asilaled b. passion, and was lifting
aud throwing with force stone after
stone a some object beneath him.
THIS made me approach him and in
qnIro what was the NATTER
con, sir SAID he, "a great ugly
toad !" and down went another
stone, with vohemenee.
"And pray" said /, "why do yoa
kin that poor creature has it done
you any harm =
Why" said he, "they don't do
no good, do they 2"
"HY friend said !. "supposo
they do no good, Is that any reason
yen should put it to death ? only
consider, If everything were to be
destroyed which does no good,
what would become of you and me,
for verify think we could give but
poor account why we should be
spared aud yet the Almighty, who
sees our actions, and knows the
vie kedneas of our hearts, does not
destroy US; but these poor animals
are more harmless than We, and not
only do no hurt, but do great deal
of good, il feeding on, and destroy
ing quantities. ofsuails and other in
seets, which would destroy our veg
etables for my own part, | am
/ glad to see, and preserve them in
my garden, observing as | do how
much benefit they do me-"
!
DWELL" said the man, throwing
tawny tua sraun, -xu1en he had ready
for another ding, "then let him live,
but didn't know they dld any
/ good" ...
"Nay, my friend, u replied, "your
leaving the poor crippled animal
to die lingering death would now
be more cruel than killing 1t out
right: don't you see that you have
broken every bone in its body, and
80 covered it with stones that it is
impossible for it to get away, and it
may have TO suffer for many daysg
the most morciful thing now is to
put it out of its misery but let mo
entreat you never again to Put to
death or torment any of Gods crea-
lures, which IN His wisdom lilo has
made, unless you have good and sut-
lictonJ reason for 50 doing"
| This incident so much excited my
feelings, as to spoil the pleasure of
|my walk, II made me quite unhap-
.py, to think how careless people are
about the poor animals which God
has put under their care, and created
for their good.
| lie. our young readers reflect, that
we have no right to Djure or take
| Tho life Of any of Gods creatures, un-
less for Necessary food, or for our
own preservation from injury; it is
an net OF brutal wiekedness to tort
ure oven an insect
In wisdom bath He made them

JOHN w. MACKEY expresses
the opinion that Jay Gould is one
of the most overrated men in New
York. He declares that he does
not fear him as a business antago-
mist in the telegraph line, and is
mildly surprised that so many of
the great merchants of the metro
polls should stand in such terror
of the little Ogre Of Wall street.
The Prince of the Bonanzas is the
most formidable foe who has ever
challenged the supremacy of Jay
Gould. His capital is greater
than that Of Gould. The latter
has trunks full of watered stocks,
the nominal face value of which
runs into tens ofmillions; but Mack
ey has the clean, cold cash. If there
is to be battle between the two,
it cannot fail to be interesting to
the whole country. it is not i'm
probable that the owner OF the
4tldpta may find himself drowned
in his own water before the con-
test is over.

THE National Banks are making
a tremendous fuss about the pro.
posed refunding of s765,0O0,O0O
of the national debt, and predict
all manner of calamity should the
project be put into execution. The
most immediate effect would be
the closing of the national banks,
to which these useful institutions
naturally object. The national
banks and the national debt are
about the only remaining evidences
of the civil war, and happily for
the country they are both likely
to disappear.

TALKING Of "the new South." "
Henry Watterson says: The South; !;
it is no problem at all. [ thank
God that at last we can say with
truth it is simply a geographical
expression. The whole story of
the South may be summed up in
the sentence: "She was rich, and
she lost her riches; she was poor
and in bondage; she was set free
and she had to go to work; she
went to work and is richer than
ever before" You see it was a
ground hog case. So it was here;
the climate was here, but along
with it was the curse-the curse
of slavery. God passed a rod
along the land and smote the peo.
pie. Then, in His goodness and
mercy he waved the rod of en-.
chantment and 10, like a flower
His blessing burst forth. The
South never knew what indepen.
dence meant until she was taught
subiection--to subdue herself
We had our debts and our "nig-
gers" Under the old system we
paid our debts, and walloped our
"niggers." Under the new we
pay our "niggers," and wallop our
debts"

THIS is calculating age, says
a contemporary. Counting is its
favorite occupation. 1t worships
figures. Nothing is considered
valuable unless it can be counted.
Quantity is the test of excellence,
and vast numbers command the
highest reverence. The popular
mind has become insane on the
subject of statistics; all our views
of life, all our verdicts of success
or failures, all our estimates of
worth, are based on columns OF
figures.

OVER eight years ago began the
grand round of centennials in
American history. The fight at
Concord was centennialized, then
Bunker Hill, then the Declaration
Of independence, and so on
through scores of incidents. The
latest whoop-up was the celebra-
ton of the Tooth anniversary of
the disbanding of the American
army at Newburgh. But one
more remains: on the 25th of next
month New York will thrill with
JOY, and blossom as a century
plant over the Tooth anniversary
of the British evacuation of that
city.

SOME idea of the extent Of the
oil business in Southern California,
says the Post, may be gathered
from the fact that an oil pipe is
being constructed from Newhall to
Ventura which will be fifty -four
miles long. 1t will be a surprise
to most persons, also, to know that
one well in Los Angeles county
has already produced 100000 bar
rels of oil.
