ONE CA USE OF LIFE'S MISERIES.

One half the misery of life at least,
if not more, comes to people from not
being able to make both ends meet;
and yet great deal of this carking
care and worry of mind is unnecessa-
ry. 1t is sad to think indeed, how
much of the misery of life is absolute
ly needless. Many man, for instance
with large, expensive family, will
toll on and break down prematurely,
whereas if he had simply been in the
habit of discussing matters in a frank
and friendly way with his family,
needless luxuries would have been
cheerfully given up, and the idle
would have willingly put their should
ers to the wheel. This is not often
done; the father keeps his business
affairs to himself and his family be-
comes accustomed to his grumbling
over expenses; and when real trouble
comes he stands alone with none to
help him-and it is his own fault.
Keeping up appearances, too, is
often a fatally disasterous mistake;
and yet of all idiotic things this seems
the most needless. Nevertheless, it
must be one of the strongest tenden-
cies of human nature, for it has
brought many a one to ruin, and for
what good? What possible good can
it do us to have our neighbors know
that we keep two horses instead Of
one, and so on in like ratio? Truly,
man with all his intellect is complex
creature and tangles himself volun-
tarily, it would seem, in net of his
own weaving.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BRIBERY

There has never been any corrup-
ton in politics, in any nation that the
world has seen, in which the respon-
sibility did not rest upon the man who
offered the bride rather than upon the
man who took it. 1t does not lessen
this responsibility if there be one or
a dozen middlemen between the
bribe- giver and the bribe- taker. What
is wanted is a moral sense which will
be as keen in political matters as it is
in private and commercial matters.
No reputable man ought to give
dollar for political purposes unless he
can have in return an accounting for
it's use. Every man who contributes
to large campaign fund, to be ex-
pended by a professional corruption
list without any public or private &C
counting OF the uses to which it is
put, is an accomplice in a gigantic
scheme Of bribery which he has help
ed to make possible. Every man who
contributes a penny to the blackmail
levied against him, either as an indi-
vidual or as a member of a corpora
ton, is an accomplice in the systemat-
ic debauching of popular government
which is in progress in the legislative
bodies of this country to day.

Lord Charles Hamilton used to go
about Naples attended by large fe-
rocious bull dog. Having decided on
going to Rome he proceeded to the
station and took his place in a
first-class carriage, the sdawg' taking
up a position on seat opposite his
master. The platform Inspector, with
many gesticulations, declared that the
bulldog should not travel in a passen-
ger carriage.
Very well, then; take him out, was
Lord Charles rejoinder.
In vain the official expostulated. He
merely reiterated his former reply, a
piece of advice, it is needless to say,
which was not followed, and Lord
Charles apparently master of the sit
uation, threw himself back in his seat
and calmly lighted a cigar.
But the Italians were not to be out
done, and quietly detaching the car
riage in which the English smilod' was
seated they made up the train with
another compartment, and started it
off.
Lord Charles sat quietly smoking
for about quarter of an hour, and
then surprised at the delay, thrust his
head out of the window, and demand
ed when the train was going to start.
His feelings may be imagined.

The Roofing Probl 3 IN.

The question as to whether ringing
hogs is advisable or not has never
yet been satisfactorily discussed,
though there has been very able ad-
vocates on both sides of the question.
The strangest argument in favor Of
having the hogs nose as nature made
it. to root hog or die" is, that before
the invention of the various devices
for the prevention of roofing, such as
rings, Sitting Of the nose and ETC..
there was little or no sickness among
swine; in fact such a disease as hog
cholera was unknown; and the ques-
ton arises will he root if he can have
that for which he roots or it's sub
stltute without! I take tho negative
side of the question and will endeav-
er to SHOW that the hog is no eXcep-
ton to other animal life The wild
deer will find his salt lick. the buffalo
the secluded spot or territory where
the buffalo grass grows and in like
manner will other animals seek the
haunts and peculiar food necessary to
their subsistence; so with the hog;
while he has been domesticated and
brought up to the present prominent
and valuable animal, he has not lost
his hoggish taste and appetite for
flesh and blood, worms roots, nuts,
sand and gravel. If these articles are
not furnished, he is likely to go into
the ground with his nose to find what
nature has imbued him with a taste
for to give him health and strength;
we oftentimes are blind to our own
best interest by thinking that roofing
is damaging to the land and does the
hog no good It is just the reverse
as it benefits the land and stimulates
the growth and health of the hog. I

Thomas Rowan, who, after spell of
illness, has been advanced from the
condition Of inmate to the post of COOK
at the Kings country aims house, has
a case that is peculiar. This is the
way he presents it in the New York
World: ,..-a. .s. .....
In 1877 I shipped as cook aboard
the bark Roman, bound out OF New
London for the South Indian and Ant
arctic Oceans for oil. Shapel Will
liam & Hunter, Of New London, were
the owners, and Captain John Will
liams, master. We took with us casks
with capacity of many thousands of
barrels OF oil. The practice is to put
men ashore at some spot frequented
by sea elephants sea leopards, seals
and other oil bearing animals and to
leave them with provisions for one or
two years shift. Upon this occasion
ours was two years shift. Several
OF us were set down upon Heard 8
Island. better known as Desolation
Island. Two men; Fred Atkinson and
Portuguese named SNOWFALL chose to
be left on Morgan's Point a small
island about 100 miles from where the
main body located.
Provisions for two years and casks
for about l, 900 barrels were left with
the two men. Just before the Roman
returned in the second season terrific
snowfall set in, and we had a.
desperate time getting out of it and
putting our oil aboard. The crew
took our place on the island and we
started for home calling at Morgan
Point for the two men there. The
snow had overwhelmed them. but
their cabin was reached by digging.
Atkinson was found alive but SO weak
that he died before reaching the boat.
u SNOWFALL was dead and had been
for many days. Atkinson was a young
fellow, the son of minister in New
London. Both were buried in the
snow. In returning to the ship the
boat capsized. and eleven of the thir-
teen men that manned her we're
drowned. George Williams, the mate,
and Manuel a Portuguese, were picked
up. No attempt was made to dig out
the oil taken by Atkinson and Snow
ball. but l am sure that later on the
catch must have been found, and as
we all worked on the lay or on shares

tested the ground. If those places
were IN the regular pasture field or

with the success and their task ended,
would take the harrow. smooth down
and SOW grass Seed clover or timothy,
very thickly and harrow again; soon
there would be sod better than
those places that had remained un-
disturbed. Hogs are not disposed
to root when putting on flesh
rapidly and are in good condition. I

How to B.eed.

Mr.. Sanders Spencer an English
authority on pig raising. said in the
course of a lecture to farmers: The
great secret is to breed only from
those pigs whose sires and dams are
from prolific strains and from those
sows that are bred to milk we'll The
chief cause of SO much dissatisfaction
in the past with so many of the So
called pedigreed pigs has been in
want of attention to the prolifcacy
and rearing properties of the boars
and sows bred from. The great idea
has been to produce a pig short in the
head, heavy IN the jowl, thick in the
shoulder, and wide on the top. and
then to make it SO beastly fat that it
could neither eat grass, walk about.
or produce its species; nor was it fit
for anything but to render into lard.
This is exactly the most useless and
the most Improbable kind of pig it
is possible to produce. The folly, like
any other silly fancy, takes lot of
killing, but although it dies hard, its
death knell is sounded. and nothing
has brought about this most salts
