THE LABoRER AND HIS HIRE.

"Do you think that father could be
persuaded to buy me guitar and let
me take term or two of lessons ?"
asked Clara, the eldest daughter Of the
Petersons, raising her eyes as she spoke
from the algebra she was apparently
studying. Il do want to learn to play
so much, and guitar is not such very
expensive instrument" she added,
coaxiDgly.
That is true" was the mothers re-
ply, "but it was only yesterday that
your father told me how dull his bust
ness had been for the past few, months,
so / am afraid he would hardly consent
Just now. Our expenses at home have
been heavier since / hurt my hand
we've had to raise James wages, you
know"
"Well, when school is out, let me
take James place and let father give
me the money he gives her. | couldn't

very well with the work." returned
Mrs. Peterson. "I'll speak to your
father about it,"

was Clara's comment, as she gathered
up her book and slate, "and think |
should like it better than teaching
school. When | got my certificate
this spring thought it would be an
easy matter to step right into place
to do something, but | didn't know
that for every school there were as
many applicants as there were pupils,
and when that source failed was quite
in despair but if l can take James
place and earn money, it will be the
very thing" and the young girls face
frightened at the thought.
Mr.. Peterson did not manifest any
particular interest in the plan when il
was preached to him, but as he was
never enthusiastic about anything, his
wife was obliged to be content. "Clara't

she "She can just as well do the

"And don't she get pay in clothes

Shall We Have q Fair {?

The people have now a prospect of Sc
curing permanent fair association, and
it only remains for them to come for
ward and put their shoulders to the
wheel to make it certainty. The meet
ing at the Court House on Saturday
should be largely attended.
Subscriber" in this issue, sets forth
that there is already a Grange fair Or
ganization in his locality, and intimates
that that organization is sufficient for
the county. No secret organization can
successfully carry on county fair, and
while there is probably no objection to
the Grange holding fair it is no doubt
the wish of the people of the county
that an organization for the whole
county be effected, in which all can
have an equal interest, that of improv-
ing our stock and the products of the
soil. The object of such an organiza-
tion should not be one of gain and spec
ulation, but with an eye single to hold
an annual exhibition for the common
good of all. Shall we have it?

Democrats. Organize.

Democrats of Ohio cannot commence
the work of organization any too soon.
1t is not necessary to wait for the State
and National conventions and see who
is and who is not nominated before this
work is commenced. The Republicans
will make the most desperate effort in
the history of their party to recapture
the State, since it is ground hog case
with them, but if the Democracy is
thoroughly organized, they will be
readily repulsed. Fall in, then, Demo-
Gratis and clear the decks for Il gigantic
struggle.

A SOLDIER wants to know why the
leaders Of the Republican party are so
strongly opposed to giving the soldiers
back bounty aud land warrants. The
fact is that talk is cheaper than action.
The Republican leaders were going to
do everything for the soldier, give him
all the Offices, load him down with hon
ors and emoluments, etc., ETC., but there
wasn't enough to go around. Grant
took his increase of salary, from twenty
five thousand to fifty thousand dollars,
but vetoed the soldiers claim, while
our stay-at-home patriots took the Off
ces and railroad corporations the land.

Evidence in the johnson Trial.

We are surprised at the Toledo Post.
1t continues the publication of the
most absurd twaddle about suppressed
testimony in the Johnson case. If such
evidence as the Post publishes ever ex-
listed, and the prosecution knew it, the
trial would have been a meie form, and
no defense could or would have been
attempted. The fact is that the State
held in reserve no testimony whatever,
except some to rebut an anticipated
dhG as defense. The article published
in the Post concerning said evidence
held in reserve by the State, las crush
err" was copied into the Signal and
Liberty Press, and we therefore deem it
but just to brand the Posts article as a
falsehood and without foundation. The
Post man is entirely too sensational for
this latitude.

THE Republican Legislature of New
York has refused to submit the prohi-
bition amendment to vote of the peo-
pie, the vote standing 81 for and 6S
against. The State Convention OF the
Republican party last fall pledged Re-
publicans to its submission. The
Prohibitionists all over the State ap-
plauded the course of the party, and
heartily supported the candidates. The
Prohibitionists claim that they gave
the Republicans 10000 to 10000 votes
in the State at the last election. These
votes the Republicans will certainly
lose this year. In Iowa, on the other
hand, the Republican Legislature has
passed a remarkably stringent prohibi-
tory law, and its effect on politics in the
Northwest, where the Germans abound,
in the Presidential election, may be
important.
