READ THIS, BOYS.

In the strength of his youth the
young man should prepare for A
future of honor and usefulness. Az
he occupies himself in the beginning
so is he likely tie end. There are
who act on the theory
that young man is justified in
having a good time in the most evil
sense OF that term. Unless he sows
his wild oats, they say, he doesn't
amount to much. There never was
a greater mistake. 1t Is true that
there are those who after youth of
dissipation have recovered them.
selves and are endeayoring to live
uprightly. But they do not have
the same advantage possessed by
those who sow no wild oats. They
cannot forget the wasted years aud
if they could there is always some
amiable enemy to remind them of il.
The dying words OF John B. Cough
ought to be adopted as motto
by every young man, Keep Your
record clean.n The significance of
this sentence lies in its first word.
1t may be a difficult thing TO keep
our record clean it is far more
difficult to cleanse it when it once
becomes stained.

The United States treasury

The United States treasury is
flooded with money. Over $1,000.
900 more has been received thus far
this month than in the corresponding
period of last year. The receipts for
the quarter ending Sept. 80 exceed.
ed very largely those of the like per.
iod last year. The surplus this year
promises to be decidedly larger than
it was last year, when it was 1913,
900, 900. The only way of disposing
of it is to pay off the three per cents,
of which only S74,4S4, 200 remain
uncalled. Before the end of the
present fiscal year this amount will
have been called and paid, after
which there will be no bends to be
called till 1891. BY July l, 1887,
there promises to be 100000, 900 in
the treasury and out of the pockets
of the people, over and above every
want of the government. In the
following four years this sum will
grow to more than five hundred mil
lions, unless Congress can make up
its mind either to spend it freely or
to stop taking money it doesn't need.

At the late trial of ex-Alderman
McQuade at New Yo k, ex.Alder.
man Fullgraff McQuade's colleague
in the New York board af aldermen
of 1884, which voted away the
franchise for a surface railroad on
Broadway, revealed the particulars
OF the conspiracy INTO which be,
with McQuade and others, entered
to control the board on all profitable
questions. When the Broadway
Surface Railroad Company APP
preached the "boodIe" aldermen
with its offer of 100000 for the
desired franchise it was met, 1t
appears, by the Broadway Gable
Road with a bid of s7J0,00O, the
latter corporation placing the
higher estimate upon aldermanc
virtue. The conditions favored the
Broadway Surface Road, however
as its offer was 300, 900 cash, while
the cable read offered only s375,OVV
in cash and the rest in bonds
Besides, the cable road was con
sidered less reliable than its rival.
1t was accordingly voted unanl'
mously by the parties to Tue
combination to accept the surface
roads offer, which made each mem
ber's share S22, 900. The mayors
veto of the measure necessItateu

There was difficulty in finding

FOOLISH UTTERANCES.

Geo. Gordon was inaugurated
Governor of Georgia few days ago.
he improved the occasion in his
formal address to explode his views
of State Rights. What he said was
a revamping of the most extreme
notions ever advanced by John G.
Calhoun. He favorS the enlarge
ment of the powers Of the State, and
the restriction of those of the Ma
tional Government. He would
dwarf the Federal jurisdiction and
augment the States. 1t is the old
doctrine that precipItated secession,
war and desolation. However spec.
ious his reasoning and refining his
conclusions, it is the same mischiev-
GUS idea that found expression in
Charleston and Baltimore twenty.
six years ago-disrupted the Dem
ocratic party. elected President Lin.
coin, inspired armed conflict, eman.
clpated slavery and consigned to
bloody graves a half million Of the
flower of the manhood of the coun.
try. His address was of apiece with
that of Jno. w. Daniel, in Rich
mond, at the Democratic rally a
short time before the recent election.
when he said that the Democratic
party had the government and it
had come to stay! A solid Demo-
cratic South secured by means that
no honest man can defend, and New
York city, controlled by the worst
elements of reckless population,
constitute the hope of this "stay.n
We trust, and believe, that the COM
mon sense and patriotism of the
South will appreciate and compre-
bend the meaning of these foolish
utterances, and looking to the ma
terial welfare Of the people-the
progress and prosperity of the South
ern States, rebuke such mischievous
mouthings and turn their back upon
such sentiments and such assumed
leaders. The South has suffered
enough from this source. All of our
great interests have been damaged
by the utterances of men who pre-
Stunning upon their election to high
positions, have used them to mis-.
state the real sentiment of the peo-
pie, and prejudice the South in the
minds of those who are willing and
anxious to cooperate with US in
developing our untold resources of
wealth. What are we to gain by
such outgivings as have emanated
from Gordon and Danielg Will
the people never realize the fact
that they cannot move abreast of the
times-take advantage of the won
derful bounties of nature, unless they
throw themselves squarely across
the path of such men, and call a
halt in such emphatic terms as will
prove to the world that they have
no sympathy either with the senti.
ment or the purpose of those who
re.vitalize the exploded notions of
quarter of century ago7 We be-
long to the present. 1t is our duty
to adapt ourselves to it's conditions
and press forward to the future
whice is so full of hope and assur-
ance, if we will only prove true to
ourselves and let the dead past bury
it's dead Valley Viryiaiaa.

A pastoral letter from Archbishop
Corrigan was read Sunday, 9th nit,
in all the Catholic Churches in the
archdiocese of New York. 1t con.
tains a declaration on the land ques.
tion which will be of the deepest in.
terest to the people of this country.
That Archbishop CorTigan should
consider it necessary in pastoral
letter to uphold the right of man to
individual ownership of land is in
itself significant. 1t shows how wide
has been the spread of communism,
and how potent have been the theO.
ries of Henry George. The Arch.
bishop warns Catholics "against
certain unsound principles and theo
ries which assail the rights of prop
erty." "Once deny the right of
ownership, and you sow the seed Of
stagnation in human enterprise he
adds.
The effect of these words, coming
as they do at this time when $4,000
voters in New York city have in.
dorsed Henry Georges theories
regarding common ownership in
land, must be prodigious. Henry
George was supported by Catholic
clergymen and received the votes of
thousands of Catholic laymen. Tho
Archbishop's words are worthy Of
the most careful thought. He
writes: Undoubtedly God made
the earth for the use of all mankind,
but whether the possession thereof
was to be in common or by in.
dividual ownership was left for
reason to determine. Such deter.
mination, judging from the facts of
history, the sanction of law, from the
teaching of the wisest and the
actions of the bravest of mankind,
has been and is that man can by
lawful acts become possessed OF
the right of ownership in property,
and not merely in its use.n

IT'S so NICE TO BE A TEACHER.

It's SO nice to be teacher, O don't you
wish that you
Could leave your farm and workshop
and be teacher too?
No trouble and no sorrow, has teachers

To be petted teacher is such a world of
gain
0 won't you be teacher, do file in the
crowded ranks
And be a petted teacher and enjoy your
round of thanks.
It's SO nice to be teacher. Come try
your hand at rule;
You need no brain, no culture, to sue
coed just be fool.
For noble, honest workers who have
tried to do their best.
Get old and worn and wrinkled and to
the wall are pressed,
To make room for SUMMER faces and
plumper, rounder arms,
And more enticing graces and bewitch-
ing, honeyed charms
Don't try to do your duty, but try alone
to please.
And you ii grow plump and rosy, and
can with greatest ease
Glide into Patrons graces without the
least delay;
And they III never spur nor hate you nor
take their boys away"
All, me, l am a teacher and a model
teacher, too
You never catch me snarling like other
teachers do,
use the softest language, and pet my
dear Trustees.
l never quarrel with the Board it's
policy to please"
I'm darling, now tell you, a jolly lit
tie elf,
love, you see, why, every one, but most
of all myself.
My face is like daisy, l never wear a
frown,
My heart will hold no shadow; 1 never
am cast down.
My Patrons love me very much. they
never pass me by
And - toss their heads sac scornfullv. y
but cheerful voices cry
Why how de do !" IS How do you do ?''
while on my cheek and brow
Fall perfect showers of kisses, Say do
you wonder now?
That love to be a teacher, IT'S such a
charming life,
A holiday of holidays with golden
glories rife.
revel in its splendors, and drink life
sweetest Wine
clothe myself in satin and with tony
people shine,
o joy beyond all other joys my shallow
bosom fills,
Just like dancing streamlet that dashes
down the hills.
never bear burden, l never know a
fear,
leap the cold gray boulders that in my
path appear,
know not where I'm going and where
fore should I care,
I'm sure no other life could e'er with
mine compare,
For I'm a petted tearcher, model
teacher too.
Come leave your farm and workshop,
Come be a teacher-Do. LOT.

of the age and eminent chemists devote
ed unlimited time in the endeavor to
discover some use-any under heaven
to which this seemingly absolutely
worthless stuff could be put so that it
could be gotten rid of or destroyed.
The discovery of analyne dyes by
Perkins ian accidental discovery
changed the public opinion regarding
this vile refuse, and as the years have
gone, still other uses have been discov-
cred for it. Its commercial value has
steadily increased until TODAY, it is
more precious than the tabled wealth
of the Indies, for upon 1T and upon its
consumption to manufactures depends
the livelihood of thousands. The last
discovery is but another of very many
ways in which to emf 10y this really
wonderful article. 1t serves to sh )w US
with more emphatic clearness that there
is nothing useless, no such thing as
waste, in nature: and that man, with
all his learning, is sti abominably
ignorant.
There are some peculiar expressions
in this country. Among English roughs
a pound is called "quid,' and shil
ling bob" while tanner" Is the
designation for another piece of money.
In Ireland six-penny piece. or twelve
cents, enjoys the distinction of being
called "kids-eye.' Speaking of a per-
son who has threatened TO do something
to another party when the other should
be met, and failing TO keep his word he
threatened party will say, He was as
fair" Tor sweet, or leasant, or free. as
the case may be- las Diana Telling
of the ingenuousnes or frankuess of
another, they are not unlikely to say,
'She is as open as Bellies life.' the IN
ference being that Bell was what
C9sar's wife should have been-above
suspicion. Whom they wish emphati-
cally to declare that something will
never take place, they say it will not
come off during SUIT and pritta water
meaning tn while there is such a
thing as suit and water IN which TO boil
potatoes the event will never come Off
herring has a variety of titles in this
locality. Among Protestants 1t is call
ed "Papish chickens" while il is gen.
orally known as ''weaver's beefSteak."
To do thing neatly so as cause admira-
ton, or TO display anything trinity built
is to call forth the expression: Its as
neat as Peggy's leg" This comparison
may do very well for those who are &C.
quainted with the symmetry of that
lady's limb, but TO one SO unfortunate

a great Geal to the imaginati ton, and is.
