Why should labor fll the world

Every lsbor-aving machine should
help the whole world. Every one
should tend TO shorten the hours Of
labor.
Reasonable labor is the source Of
Joy. To work for wife or child, to toll
for those you love, is happiness, pro-
vided you can make them happy.
But to work like slave; to see your
wife and children in rags; to sit at
the table where the food is coarse and
scarce to rise at 4 in the morning to
work all day, and throw your bones
ON q miserable bed at night; to live
without leisure, without rest, without
making those who love you comforta.

The hours of labor should be short

Mr., Blaine is very much alarmed
because the southern people in their
wisdom are Democratic His speech
at Augusta last week was model
sectional hatred sermon. The ex-
Plumed knight is only proving that
the American people have made 9
narrow escape from great calamity
No man with his views could execute
the laws Of the republic with an ever
hand. James G. Blaine's course since
the election, has Disguised the Repub
licans and confirmed the Democracy
in their belief that he is bad man a

Love I'm the House h old.

Whatever else betide, whatever loss
es may come, or separations intervene
let nothing prevent the perfect conf
dence and mutual love that should
exist between the heads OF the house
hold, Let each one feel, believe, and
know that storms may rage without,
but can not come between them that
other friends may be dear and cher
ished, but no friend can separate
them that fortune may fail to smile.
but can not shake the impregnable
fortress Of their love. In order To
preserve this state OF affection, there
must be entire confidence in each
other; nothing must come between
them. They can not always feel and
think alike! this is as impossible as is
is unnecessary, and it is better so.
The indulgence they ask for them
selves they can readily accord, and
should delight to do 80. Instead OF
considering what they have given,
they should remember what they have
received instead Of making compari-
sons and estimates as to gifts and SER
vices rendered, have hearts full Of
gratitude for the evidences ofaifection
that gold can not buy. We can not
compel love. 1t is tender plant that
requires the most gentle nurture.
- word a look, has crushed to earth
Full many budding flower;
Which, had smile but owned It's birth,
Would bOss ifes latest hour"
A household without love would be
like the earth without the sun; a
desert, for want of q living spring to
waken it into beauty night without
day, a heaven without stars. Cherish
love in the household as You would
cherish it's life it is its life and glory,
and the wealth of the Indies can not
atone for its loss. With it, our homes
} are the nearest approach 10 heaven
our earth affords. A household uni
ted in the service Of God is picture OF
heaven.-Domcstic Journal.

Burning Criminals at the Stake and Other
Barbarous PrnIshments.

There is something in the very phrase
ssburnt at the stake which fillsone with
horror. and the thought that any woman
would brave such q death seems almost
incredible. The Maid of Orleans" has
doubtless been in the minds of many
persons all over the civilized world of
late; as we'll in that Of every French

Gently erected in her honor in her beloved
patrie. But, although it seems absolute
Z " barbarous to make such a suggestion
iff the old records are to be credited, this
Burning was by no means the agonizing
death ST SIS sgenerally supposed to have
been. Indeed, in England it was looked
5 upon as an easy death, and women were
even burnt for the same crimes for
which mon were hung, as beingthe more
humane manner of putting to death.
But, and hear lies the whole secret, these
ssma. d records show that the condemn

at least into 80 states of perfect nncon.
