Glass Distinction.

Politicians do not like to hear an
agricultural journal urging the farm
ers to unite politically to check the
comforting of privileges on monopolists
and corporations. They tell us that
"class distinctions are odious." OF
course they are odious. What could
be more odious than the class distinc-
tions now existing which separate the
moneyed class from the agricultural
class Oil companies, railroad compa-
MES, steamship companies, coal COM
panies and scores of other organiza-
tons constituting "class" just as GER
tainly as they exist, and they are for
ever asking for privileges that in the
end are to be paid for by the owners
of the land. The farmers have been
too slow about joining their forces for
just and legitimate purposes, and the
politicians who pretend to think it
would be criminal to bring about such
a joining, have always profted by this
carelessnesS and indifference of the
farmers. Orange Co. Farmer,

Care of the Teeth.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
While it is a fact that good and bad
teeth are largely inherited, yet good
ones may soon be injured by neglect.
Not only as a matter of health should
the teeth be preserved as far as posi-.
BILE, but for appearances. Nothing
more detracts from the comeliness of
young man or woman, than the display
of teeth yellow and black from neg
lect; the better looking the person the
more glazing this blemish. Parents
are often to blame in this respect. AS
soon as a child gets its permanent
teeth he or she should be taught to use
a tooth brush, with water, at least
once a day. This would often save the
child from much modification and per.
haps misery in after life. The use of a
tooth brush not too stiff, with water
simply, morning and night, is all that
most teeth require. If tartar collects
in spite of this, the use Of CASTLE soap
(the white is preferably upon the
brush will generally answer. If some
thing more is needed to keep the teeth
clean, prepared chalk is one Of the
safest tooth powders. Avoid all tooth
powders that are at all gritty. Some
contain powdered pumic stone, which
will remove both the tartar and enam-
Ell, In using the brush, it is equally as
important to apply it to the back side
of the teeth as to the front, and in
stead of only moving it across the
teeth, a part of the brushing should
be from the gums upward and down
ward, to remove any particles that
have lodged between them. Never use
metallic tooth-pic; silver of wood is
preferable even to the quill so COM
monty used. Whenever decay is no.
ticed in the teeth, 60 to the dentist at
once.

My Dear Brother: address you

of the congeniality of our spirits, and
the great work we are both engaged
in--the work of destruction. | most
cordially accept your proposals. For
six thousand years sought in vain lor
man so fully after my heart, to do
my work among men. even ran

aubOle work of destruction. But little
success attended their efforts. My

too soon, showed the cloven foot. |

mission was comparatively failure. l

lead innocent youths and beautiful
maidens in misunderstanding virtue,
wrecking happiness, blasting charac>

dishonored graves. But even then
many of his victims escaped through
the power of God-my enemy. Isent

some were bound, but men learned to
hate him for mis- meanness, and com.
paratively few fell by him. The twin
brothers, Pestilence and War went
forth, and Famine stole behind them;
but these three Unfortunately slew
the old and the yonng-men, women
and children; the good as well as the
bad, and Heaven received as many an
cestors as He'll. In sadness my Satan

loss of my crown and kingdom, as l
contemplated the tremendous strides
which the Gospel of Christ was max
Ing in saving men from my clutches.
But when l received your kind letter
l shouted until the welkin of Hell
echoed the shout: Eureka! Eureka"

Yes, my dear friend, l could have en-
braced you a thousand times, and 1
have given orders to reserve for you a
place nearest my person, the most
honorable seat in my kingcom. In you
are combined all qualifications of just
such friend and partner as I have
long wished for, and in your business
are all elements of success.
Now shall my throne be forever es-
tablished. Only carry out your de-
signs and you shall have money, though
it be wrung from the broken hearts Of
helpless women, and from the mouths
of innocent, perishing children. Though
you fill jails, warehouses and poor,
houses; though you crowd the insane
asylums; though you make murder, in
cest and arson to abound, and erect
scaffolds and gallows in every village

| will also harden your heart so that
your conscience will never trouble you
You shall lobk upon blood and ever
shed it, without shame or anguish
You shall think yourself gentleman
though men and women, your victims
shall call you demon. You shall b.
devoid of the fear of God, the horror
Of the grave, and the solemnities o

With fow'ry Wales between
How pure its crystal fountains,
How bright its rivers sheen.

Will leave the things of time,
To feast upon the beauties
Of that celestial cline.

Throughout the Grand Domain,
And my enraptured spirit

I'll batfIe in seas of bliss,
And drink from streams of pleasure
Unknown in worlds like this.
There love is pure and changeless,
And friendship never dies;
No hearts are wrung with anguish
No bosoms heave with signs.

It's peaceful summer skies.
No griefs shall ever vex us,
No fears our peace destroy,
No doubts shall eer perplex US;

I'll see the smiling faces
That used to greet me here,
And feel the sweet embraces
of those my soul holds dear.
Burst, burst we clouds asunder,
And let mine eyes behold
That land of light and wonder,
Where there are joys untold.

The sweetest and the best,

A SENSIBLE COURT.

There is no good reason why all kinds
OF gambling, as such, should not stand in
the same position before the law. To
make betting on races and at faro Illegal,
as is the case in most States of the Union,
and 20 protect certain transactions in
stocks and buying futures in wheat and
cotton never was and never can be con-
sistent. The Supreme Court of Georgia
has made q very important and just de-
cision on this gambling in futures. The
Judge said:
II this is not speculation or chance
wagering and betting between parties,
then we are unable to understand the
transaction. Betting on a game of faro,
brag or poker, cannot be more hazardous,
dangerous or uncertain. Indeed, it may
be said, these animals are tame, gentle
and submissive, compared to this mon
ster. The law has driven them to their
dens; they have been outlawed, while
this ferocions beast has been allowed to
stalk about in open midday with gilded
signs and flaming advertisements to lure
the unhappy victim to its embrace of
death and destruction. The business OF
selling and buying cotton futures has
grown in spite of persistent opposition
from the pulpit, Legislative halls and the
bench TO enormous proportions. Now
and then bucket shops have received re-
bluffs. when they sought to enforce their
contracts directly, but they have man
aged to avoid this to a considerable ex-
tent by taking negotiable notes and
transferring them to innocent holders. in
