For The dear, dear farmer loves 70 weep

That the farmer is robbed
Through the tax on the wool Of the sheep.

And says he thinks twould be nice,
The wool duty 10 kill
In his big reform bill,
And thus save both the duty and price.
And now we propose
To have some cheap clothes.

Keep Busy.

Action is the life of business. The
man who works must succeed. Even
with inferior talent, persistent in
dustry will insure him measure of
prosperity greater than thatof ADLER
men who use their abilities indo-
lently or neglect them altogether.
The world is full of common place
people whose prosperity many won
der at. The secret is no secret at
all. They worked while others
idled and their activity won a re-
ward their natural gifts denied
them.
The possession of "a faculty for
doing things easily often betrays
men into the error of negIecting to
do them at ALL No one should be
satisfied save by doing his best and
by doing it constantly. Keep NOV
ing, keep busy, no matter what
your work may be. and your re-
ward will be as certain as the revo-
luton of the spheres. Never sit
dewn to loaf and invite your soul
while there is anything left undone.
1t is time enough to feel tired when
you have earned the right to be
tired, and you can only earn this
right by conscientious execution of
the tasks that fall to you.
IF you have no work invent some.
Any one can contrive an excuse for
being busy If he chooses. To ex-
cuse idleness on the ground that
you have nothing to do is 10 admit
that your inventive faculties are de-
fectlve. 1t is told of a great states
man that when he found himself at
leisure during working hours he
used to write letters on statesman
ship to his friends. He kept his
hand in this way, and prevented
dry rot from mastering him. More
over, he added to the store of the
worlds knowledge by tho useful
application of hours that might
otherwise have been wasted.
Too little work is worse than too
much. The latter only tires the
body. The former depraves the
mind. 1t seduces the victim into a
mental and physical lassitude that
in time becomes chronic, and that
must have an effect in impairing his
fortunes. The philosophers recipe
for success is and will ever be SOW
ereign one. "Work, work, work"
said he, chat isalI that is required. :"

+ What a contrast does the home of
the sober Industrious mechanic pre-
sent to that Of tlie itiier and the dis
.sOlutel In the one there reigns
peace, comfort and Independence;
in the other. misery, hunger and
dirt. The one is little palace, in
which the contentment king court
holds absolute sway; the other a
HoTel, where vice breeds and spaEns
idepravity on the highways of life.
One glance into the interior of the
f0fmef dwelling is worth a whole
days inspection of the splendid ono
of a noble; for the former is associa-
ted with the happiness of thousands,
the latter with that OF 4 single fam
lily. The mansion of the noble may
be decorated with the gems of art
and genius 1T may present moro
than oriental luxnI.y of appearance;
but the contrast between it and the
cottage Of the solser artisan is I'M
measnrabIy in favor of the latter,
as far as those higher estimates of
human happiness, which are based
on something superior to mere SUI
perficial granduer, may be allowed
to sway our judgement. In the one
we see rugged labor. the souI and
sinew of the nation, reposing like a
giant gathering strength for renew
ed exertion; in the other we per-
ceiye effeminacy HolIing on Iewd
day-couch,' deploring the slowness
of that time which silently and
slowly brings its votary nearer to
that end which, in his old age, he
breads, and endeavors by all man
ner of shifts and ingenuities to avoid.
In the one there is straight-laced,
artificial discipline, which freezes
the heart and contracts the mind;
in the other an innocent freedom,
which tolerates the laugh and jest
on all occasions, and yet allows the
graver moments of existence to ex-
ert their sanitary iniuences.-N Y

The Republican papers IN the
north, to some extent, are propaga-
ting the old stories about the color
ed man being deprived of his vote
in Louisiana, for the purpose OF
keeping up the sectional feeling
that is dying outnorth of Mason and
Di1on's line. The utter rout of the
carpet-bagger Warmouth, in which
many Louisiana Republicans, with
out regard to color, must have
helped to bring about, ought tc
teach the lesson to these northern
irreconcilables that the southern
States will never consent to the re.
establishment of the carpet-bag and
scalawag governments forced upon
them for the benefit of the G. o. P.
twenty years ago. The millionaire,
Warmouth, may live among the
people he plundered and enjoy
his illgotten gains in peace, but
never again will he be governor Of
Louisiana. ri ~

The investigation into the affairs
of the Government Printing Office
at Washington, which was institu-
ted by the Republicans in the hope
of diserediting Democratic admins
tration, has only resulted in show
ing that Public Printer Benedict
manages his bureau on sound bust
ness principles. The fact that the
late Republican incumbent is dead
is sufficient reason for refraining
from comment on the practices that
long prevailed previous to Mr.. Ben
edict's appointment.
