but northern ihoiaL and northern ca
pacity is drilliug this way and a people
fore warned are a people forearmed, i
am thinking about iny children and
grand children. Our fathers have left
us a goodly land and a goodly heritage
and our children will have to preserve it
if it is preserved at all. We want none
of lagos’ maxims—“get money—get
drooey—honestly if thou cnns’l—but at
all events get money.” Jt is every man's
duty (^contribute something to the gen
eral welfare. II he does not, he may
possibly be a good man, but he is not a
a good ciliscn. If on the contrary, he
adds to the burdens or the miseries of
his fe low men, he is a public nuisance
and ought to be abated. If I was sworn
on a jury lo try Armour k Co., for rob

has to sell. That is just what is the
matter with our people. Both the far
mer and the average consumer are al kc
the victims of the speculator. The far
mer has to sell too low and the sonsumcr
ha< »o buy too high. There is no gen
eral average - no uniformity. Kiali far
mers who can afford to hold seem to like
these ooruars pretty wall. They get u
big pries by holding and waiting for (hs

it to 81.45. When they had bought nil

We regulate tailroads by a commission

Advice lo aYoNaff Haw.
Get married, my boy ! Telcmachus,
come up close and look me right in the
eye, and listen to me---with both earp.—
Gut married. If you never do another
thing in the world, marry. You can’t af
ford it ? Your father married on a sinall-
rfr salary tlnn you arc getting, now, my
boy, aud he has eight children, doesn’t
have to work very hard, and every year
he pays a great pile of your little bills
that your salary won’t cover. And your
father was just as good a man at your age
as you arc now. Certainly you can af-
foid to marry. You can’t afford not to.
No, I'm not going to quote that tiresome
old saving that what will keep one-per
son rill keep two, because it won't A
thousand dollar salary won’t keep two
one thousand dollar people, but it will
keep two five hundred dollar people nice
ly, and that’s all you are, just now, my
boy. You need uot wince or get angry.
Let me tell you, a young tnau who rates
in the world as a fire hundred dollar
man, all the year round, Monday as well
tures looking on %t ail this iniquity and
do nothing. How do they expect labor
to be reconciled to capital and every
thing go on smoothly when the common
laborer can barely live at his wages, and
suddenly finds that bread and meat have
gooe up fifty per cent, and that rich,
heartless R|>cculatorH have combined
against him ? How can he be recon 1
cited ? How c in he be kept from think •
iug and talking aud drifting into com
munism and oigaoixing strikes for high
er wages? ^Therc ?s life and death in
this business. , The average age of the
rich is 55—of the poor is 35. Only
eighty children out of a thousand die
among the wealthy classes, bpt three hun
dred die among the poor. As fed grows
dear sickness sod death grow plenty.—
Scarcer bread means more abundant
crime ' larceny increases and floor ad
vances. The common laborer who works
Jn the th"ps or the factories for daily wa-
Tjcs gets barely enough for broad sod
meat and clothing when these things are
cheap. Hs gets nothing for luxuries,
nothing for 00®torts, nothing for sick-
nsss or doctors bills or t>M age. Nothing
for the accidents of lift, a broken leg, or
s broken arm. Nothing for fire or flood,
or pestilence or soy other onkmity. He
has la lire by faith nod hope - a shi ink
ing faith sod a despairing hope, and s
eontimul appraheestsn for the We flue of
his children. The great question with
os alt is what will baoasas of our chib

five hundred dollar young men are uot
such a drug in the market as you sup
pose. You marry, and your wife will
bring tact, sad love, and skill, and do*
mestic economy that will early double
your salary. But you would have to
deny yonrsclf many littls luxuries and
liberties ? Certainly you , would ; or
rather you'd willingly give them up for
greater luxuries. And you don’t want
to shoulder the burdens sod cares of
married life ? I see you do not. And I
see what you do not realize, pothaps—
that all your objections to marriage are
mean and selfish. You havn't given one
manly reason 'for not marrying. If you
do marry you are going into s world of
new caret, new troubles, new embarrass
ments. You are going to be carefal and
worried about many things. You are
going to bh tormented with honsehoid
cares and perplextues all new and N un
tried to you. Yow-are going to be pest'
errd aud bothered and troubled! You
will have to walk ths floor with md
pounds of baby and a barrel foil of oolie
when you are nearly craxy for sleep.—
You will have to tell stories to die chil
dren when you want to read. You will
have to mend a toy for young Tom when
you ought tobe writing letters. You will
hare to stay st home in ths evening
when you used to go down town. The
baby will rumple your necktie sod the
other children will trample into your Up
with their duty shore. Your wife will
hare so much to do lookiug after the
cewfort of her husband and children that
aha won’t he able to play aud sing for
you every evening, as your sweet hepit
did. Your time will ret be your own,
and you will hafwlcsdfeisure and free
dom for
exceptions
among bachelors, I know, and some
mean ones among married meo; and s
selfish married man needs killing more
than any other man I know. I know
your young bachelor friends are not stin
gy. Oh, no. I kuow Jack Fastboy paid
$570 last week for a new buggy—it is
light as a match-box and has auch a nar
row scat that he never can ask a friend
to ride with him ; and at tha same time
Dick Slocutr, who married your sister
Alice five yeers ago, gave $250 for the
cyclone sufferers. I think the angels
laughed all that afternoon, my boy, but
I don’t think it was because Jack paid
$570 for his new buggy. If you wool
to shirk the respohsibilitiesuf life, my
dear boy, you may ; if you want to live
forty or fifty years longer with no one
under the heavens to think about or care
for or plan for but yourself, go ahead
and do it ^ yon will be the only loser,
the world won’t miss you nearly so muejh
us you will miss the world ; you will have
a mean, lonely, selfish, easy time, and
unless you are a rare exception to your
class, little children will hate you, and
the gods never yet loved any man whom
the children dialiked.-Burlington Hawk

Propagating Melons.—Mr. Jerry Lee
comes lo the front and telle us hoW to
raise large watermelons. He says he
selected one of urdinary size from
t hose in bis patch, and not far from
the stem inserted a etring, common
yarn,through the vine, the other end
of the etring he placed in a plot voesel
containing water and manure. Mr. Loe
says he filled tblb cup every day, the
melon taking up each day a pint of the
mixture. He repeated this some time
and the melon grew amazingly and be
gan to assume gigantic proportions.—
But one roorniug be paid the usual
visit for the purpose of replenishing
the fluid, when, to hie surprise, be
found the melon had grown eo large It
bursted wide open, and the beautiful
red melon lay before him. He elates
that the flavor was dsllclons, and
thinks it the plan to raise large water
melons, provided yon can bind or con
fine them to prevent bursting. The
fruit can be flavored with any kind of

Dr. F. L. Parker, of Charleston, Is
getting up quite a reputation as an cc
ullst Last week one of his patients
was troubled with an affliction of an
eye, which necessitated the removal of
half of the conjunctiva, or "white” of
the organ. Dr. Parker wished to save
the eye Intact. He therefore removed
the conjunctiva or white of a rabbit’s
eye, ana with a piece of thU filled the
vacancy made by the absence of the
dieeaqpd part of his patient’s eye. Dr.
Parker attended the case carefully,
and, much to the surprise of pbyal-
ciai • and others, the transplanted part
of the rabbit's optic was assimilated
by nature, and now the human eye,
once hqrrtrend by a disorder, to per
fect.
In view ef the uncertainty of labor
and Its laoreaatag ioeffldeiicy, we think
legislation should be adopted for the
punishment of ritber party to an agri
cultural contract who violates It. Let
the penalties be revere, and apply both
to the employer and the eolpdyee, so
that when a contract Is made there will
bn n full re!lance oa both aides that its
provisions will be carried out. The
result of such an Act would bs benefl
rial to th« laborer and to the employer
by securing the beet price for work,
and by guarantoeing that It will he
rendered when It has bfean contracted
for. Such an Act witt not affect con
tracts between honest meo, for they
will he fulfilled any way, but It will ne
cessitate the dishonest man, who by
tils disregard of bis 000tracts Is de-
taoralixiog th« labor of the country, to
carry outs contract when he makes
are. It would give, In onr opinion,
MPbifity to labor, and coafldtnoe be-
twftea employer sndMmpioyer, watch
would result la; graft mstual advant
