COLD LEAD TIE REMEDY.

The depredatIons of the highwayman
and night providers are so frequent that
some general drastic measures are al
most imperitive. Especially is this true
in towns and cities. The popular idea
that the police are sufficient protection
against these cut-throats, is great
fallacy. IL is impossible for patrolmen
to be everywhere all the time. The
thief never looses sigh...of them and never
fails to come in just behind them, or
where there is least danger of arrest,
Even the most watchfui police officer
can only partially guard his beat, but
every one might contribute something
toward the protection of life and prop
erty.
1t is careless habit to be often found
on the streets at night. A sandbagger
will waylay a man on useless errand
as readily as if he was making train or
going for surgeon. He does his work
only when opportunity favors it, and
this is generally in some dark out-of-the-
way quarter. Another precaution would
be to leave all valuables IN safe place
before going out. To carry money or
watch is taking the risk of losing them.
1t is taking many chances to one for a
person TO go out alone. Most men
have more presence of mind
and greater courage when backed by the
presence of friend. Another and bet
ter means of safety is to go prepared
for defense. A thief is coward every
time, and will run from the muzzle of
a gun as fast as his legs will carry him.
If the custom of carrying loaded
weapons at night was universal, no one
would know it sooner than the highway
man, and the chances are that he would
change his occupation. 1t is sad state
of things which requires this, but the
life of one useful citizen is worth more
than thousand rogues, and should be
protected at any cost While we would
disparage the general use of firearms, or
the habit of carrying them when not
needed, we are convinced that nothing
would prove SO wholesale remedy as
this. Let every citizen, everywhere
supplement the efforts of police to guard
life and treasure and we will soon note
a falling off in hold-ups and night rob-

Eve or six fniles along the shore to
Gloucester
We went, last of all, to see the famous
wharves. Here we found hundreds of
fishing schooners unloading. The fish,
which had been cleaned and sliced dur
ing the voyage, were being tossed out
of the holds and upon the wharves by
men with pitchforks. A great tub
for each vessel. swinging by chains
and connected with four hundred
pound weight, received the fish as
tossed up, and when the weight few
up the amount was registered by man
with a pencil and account book in hi 8
hand
Then the pieces of fsh were tossed
into dory filed with water, where
they were washed by eight or teu men
with backing brushes-foreyer inno-
cent of blacking, let us hope-and
thence transferred to waiting barrows.
in which they were wheeled to rows of
hogsheads at the back part of the
wharf, and packed away with layers of
salt. at another part of each dock
were long rows of drying frames,
where fish that had been imperfectly
cured on the voyage might be spread
out and exposed to air and sun When
one takes into account the miles of
these fishing docks and the thousands
of pounds of cod that are packed at
each every day, he wonders how the
finny inha abitants of the deep can hold
ont against such wholesale depletion.
Yet the catch" was never larger than
it has been this year, and the old fish
ermen say that there seems to be no
sign of the beds giving out.
A quaint city, yet practical and
progressive one, is Gloucester; city of

LIBERTE. EGALlTE. FRATERNITE.
fBY ANNA BoYLEs RoGERs.l

The inmost feelings of our hearts
Our words but dimly trace;
Thus much ofloving sympathy
Docs ne'er with US find place.
Men do speak forth their feelings
And women, too, as well;
But word and tones are hollow;
OF their hearts they nothing tell.
Men give and gain a sympathy
That is, itself, veneer,
A sort of loud good fellowship
That's only felt when near.
So many youth and maiden
Full Of promise, rich in gold,
Retire within themselves, before the rose
ofpromise
Can, leaf by leaf, unfold.
Then came the man of fashion, Or the cold
relentless cynic,
The fair and stately beauty in fashions
maddening whirls.
They glide lightly on life's waters,
Nor care to dive for pearls.
Fair calm faces meet us;
They seem, to US, most kind;
But their words are wholly soulless.
Hearts never act with mind.
When words of life blend with throbs of
heart,
Will reach the longed- for goal,
Liberty of words, equality of lives
And nobler still, fraternity of soul.

EXCHANGE EPITOM ES.
The Wilson Bill and Kansas.

From the Marysvllle News.
Congress does not ask any advice from
Kansas about the Wilson bill, and will
not accept advice from us if we offer it.
The proper thing all around is about
this: Let congress attend TO their busi-
ness; LET them pass the bill and stop the
mills, and then let Kansas move the
mills west and start them up. When
we get them located on Kansas rivers
they will be beyond the reach of con-
gressional interference. The freight
rate from seaboard cannot be legis-
lated away. 1t will stand as protec-
ton forever. The Wilson bill in the last
analysis will benefit Kansas ana ruin
New York.
