February 25th and March 3, 0 and

DRAINING FOR HEALTH.

Every town and village onght to

cultivated crops, it should be empti.
ed into reservoir and sufficient
peat or muck adj ed for disinfection,
and putting it in so solid condition
that it can be shoyeled up and cart
ed away for the fertilization Of any
land when needed.
Fashionable summer resorts are
often made very unhealthy for want
of proper sanitary measures. People
go from the city TO the country to
get pure air, and for the benefit of
their health. Instead of this, they
frequently find it SO tainted, especi-
ally IN yards, wash rooms, and water
closets, as to generate fever and
other dangerous diseases.
One cannot be TOO careful OF the
water that supplies the beverage Of
tables. If coming from a well near
a barnyard or other foul place reject
it, as drainage from these may have
leaked into it in sufficient quantity
to render il very unhealthy. Spring
water IS also thus affected, although
it may taste sweet and look perfectly
pure. The only safety for every
household, whether in country or in
town, is to dispose daily Of an foul
stuff, whether liquid or solid, which
accumuIates on or near the premises,

LIVE STOCK In MIDSUMMER.

The midsummer season is not a
trying one to live stock, except in
times of protracted drouth. Water
must be provided, but the quantity
need not be great, and where it is
low or has to be hauled, animals,
except mich cows, should be limit
ed as TO quantity. Mich cows
should have corn-fodder cut up and
fed green daily, if it is an object to
keep up the flow of milk during
drouths. This is also useful for
mares with foals running at pasture,
and moderate quantity of grain
and bran is always useful for milk
giving stock. Lambs will probably
need to he weaned this month;
watch the ewes, and draw the milk
from all full udders every second or
third day; give the lambs handful
or two of oats or bran daily. Tar

LOTS OF DIRTY LINEN.

Yesterdays scenes in the House
of Representatives were not needed
to convince the country that the
Democratic party is hopelessly dis
organized and split in two.
Not alone on public questions is
the party split, but it appears that
the representatives are divided
among themselves i'll their respec-
tive states. Two or three weeks
ago the House was RECALLED with
the faction fights of Kentucky, the
war of the copper-distilled, sour mash
Bourbons, Knott and Durham. This
week the scene shifted to Tennes-
see, and the dirty linen of the Har-
rises and Porters was held in pub
lie. Yesterday the stencil of the de-
caying Maryland claims filed the
air, and, to cap the climax, Bill
Morrison unlimbered his battery
against Randall.
So it goes. Every day reveals
new Democratic splits which pass.

heal, the poison of the fostering am.

makes the splits in the party cape,

motharlass MilEnrd Up

A motherless Milford Pa lass
whom some righteous iadiesn warn
ed from the church because she was
shabbily clad, has been convicted OF
stealing up in New York State. The
poor girl evidently despaired OF get
ting to Heaven in rags, SO, she went
to Port Jervis and got into the pen
itentiary. Where the " ladies'" will
get to is a question. They forgot
that their righteousness was as filthy
rags.-Er.
That is the trouble with modern
religion all around. The poorer
classes drift hellward because there
is no room for them in the fashion
able inns of religion. Many feel
this who are not exactly poor but in
reduced circumstances. When the
j." heather" are all converted then
let our apostles and missionaries
turn to the poor at home. For this
reason we think the Sam Smalls and
Jones and SalvatIonists have work
before them.

THE LABOR QUESTION.
BY FREDERICK ]. LEAsTER.

There seems to be disposition on
the part of retail merchants general
" to side-quietly if not openly
with monopoly rather than with the
laboring people on whom they are
largely dependent, whether they
know it or not, for their patronage.
Mistaken men! Why they should
do this is not clear. 1t is not diff
cult to see that the prosperity of the
retail merchant is almost entirely
dependent upon the amount of mon
ey the wage-worker has to expend.
A workingman drops into store.
While there his eye falls upon vari-
Gus articles he would like to puf.
chase and take home. HIS wages
are low. He has no money in his
pocket. Credit he does not expect
and can rarely get. What is the re-
results He goes home empty hand
ed and with a heavy heart. Now
suppose he had been out of debt
had good wages-money to spare
in his pocket. He would have gone
home laden with the merchants
wares purchased and paid for. Can
not the merchant understand this ?
Does he understand it :? Then why
organize "citizens' leagues" for the
purpose of opposing the demands of
poorly paid laborg Does not the
merchant know that the best salaries
now paid even to skilled mechanics
are barely sufficient to sustain their
families in anything like comfort and
decency. They ought to know it. If
the masses of people are to be rem
dered moneyless by the tyranny of
capital, to whom is the ordinary
merchant going to sell his goods ?
Not to the rich. They buy large in
large cities-some Of them patronize
the wholesale merchants. Better SYM
pathize with the working people and
say and do what little they can to
aid the wage workers in obtaining
their rights. Those who do will be
remembered-so will those who do
not, but not very favorably. This
labor question is going to be settled.
1t is business this time. The work
ing people are not organizing simply
for the fun. It is bread and butter and
the comforts of home. 1t no longer
makes any difference with them what
the priest and minister says. The
wage-workers have lived Oh skim milk
with promise of a better diet up in
the clouds long as they care to. 1t is
business-no mistake. Nothing can
now stop or stay the settlement of
the question propounded by millions
of able bodied and dissatisfied men,
and it does not require very skill
full guesser to prophecy in whose
favor the problem will be solved.
Labor must have its rights and de-
sires to obtain them by peaceable
means. But it is no longer the safe
thing for capital to sneer, joke or
trifie in the matter. 1t is business
this time-sure.

INTO THE FUTURE.

Oh little faces clustered round my knee,
With earnest eyes, that gaze into mine
own,
Would that keener sight were given
me,
To read thy destiny to me unknown.
Oh little feet, that restless tread all day,
Until tired out, in sleep at last they
rest,
My anxious heart can only hope and pray,
Ye will be lea in ways that seemeth
best.
Oh! little hands that with thy sweet
caress,
And soothing touch, such peace and
comfort give
To my tired heart, ] wonder will We bless,
In works of love, all others while We
live?
OH little hearts that ache for childish
And throb for joy, with scarce a thought
between.
Would I might bear the many bitter
throes,
That wake you from your childhood 5
happy dream.
Any yet dare not, even if could,
One onward step into thy future see,
am content that that all shall be for
good,
My Heavenly Father dealeth out to me.
And if it be that bitter is the cup,
And heavy is the burden must bear,
The dear Lord give me strength to take it
up.
And all the way I'll know that " He will
care.'
And if beside the way weary grow,
Till crushed and broken lies my heart
and still,
May be led my Fathers hand to know,
Till I, His child, shall do His will.

POETRY.
THE OLD cHURCHYARD.

Breathe soft and low, o whispering wild,
Above the tangled grasses deep,
Where those who loved me long ago
Forgot the world and fell asleep.
No towering shaft, or sculptured urn,
Or mausoleum's empty pride,
Tells to the curious passer-by
Their virtues, or the time they died.
count the old, familiar names,
O'ergrown with moss and lichen gray,
Where tangled brier and creeping vine
Across the crumbling tablets stray.
The summer sky is softly blue;
The birds still sing the sweet old strain,
But something from the summertime
Is gone, that will not come again.
So many voices haye been hushed-
So many songs have ceased for aye
So many hands used to touch
Are folded over hearts of clay.
The merry world recedes from me-
I cease to hear its praise or blame
The messy marbles echo back
No hollow sound of empty fame.
only know that, calm and still,
They sleep beyond life's woe and wall,
Beyond the fleet of sailing clouds,
Beyond the shadow of the vale;
/ only feel that, tired and worn,
halt upon the highway bare,
And gaze with yearning eyes beyond
To fields that shine supremacy fair.
