An Individual Duty.

The Lonaconing correspondent of the
Cumberland Times writes feelimgly of
he diScomfortS which atfiict that town
of slaughter house scents i'll and ont of
the creek, hogs, stray COWS, etc. and
closes by stating
There is an ordinance for each ot1cnSe,
but they seem to have been put into the
bottom drawer.
One great cause of very many public
evils of these times is the national. State
and local vice of cnacting laws and ordi-
nances and then permitting them to be-
come dead letters.
IT is thus that contempt for law is
generated and promoted.
In the Homecoming instance it occurs
to the JOURNAL that any citizen suffer
ing from the nuisanccS detailed in the
Times of Tuesday, ought to avail him
self of his right to compel the town au-
thorities to enforce their own laws.
The citizen who will do this will
eventually enjoy the gratitude of most
of the people.

own only genuine title Is catfish. The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water 1t cmits grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring of family cnt.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater. but changed
the color Of It's belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pccuniary
value Of the discovery and established
catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delphla markets.
\ Quakercss soon after that diScOv-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly salted and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso:
ry to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and wafilcs. for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous The habit
spread like an epidemic. and. like the
star of empire, its way was westward.

Woman, the gentleSt of all creatures,

tyrannical. this because she is Il crea

mates, and emotion, when highly slim

1t was to the moon the farmer looked

might depend upon the water pouring

The time of changing had Il good

was lack of agreement upon this
point; but il WAS generally conceded
that change before noon or before
midnight indicated fair weather. A
circle or halo around the moon was a
sure sign of rain. and the number of
stars visible within the circle indicated
the number of days before the rain

No more distinct anomaly, not to say
anachrOnism of these times is that

1t is noticeable, too, that no other
trades than the printers, nor professions
than the editors are assessing so low
the value of their own work. The
carpenter, bricklaycr and coal miner
hold high views of their working value,
and the doctor, lawyer, even the preach
cr, is rated by the fees and salary he
can command.

A POETS LAMENT.

THE poet has no chance" he sighed,
ITO tread the ways of sentiment,
For circumstances far and wide
Combine to cause him discomfort,
For when l sing of summer time
And roses blooming fair and nice
They turn and do not heed my rhyme;
They talk about the price of ice.
And when carol winters glee,
With cheeks aglow and heart a-thrill,
With snowdrfts clinEing to the tree
And bells a-chime DER vale and hill,
They do not hear my glad refrain:
1t fails to vivify the SOUL
They turn away in seeming pain
And talk about the price of coal.
If I should warble of the town
And lights a-glitter as we pass,
They hear me with Il weary frown
And talk about the pr.ce of gas.
And If of fields where cattle Craze
/ sing. it still augments the grief
OF those who hear: they go their ways
And talk about the price of beef.
