The host of 21II rules for successful housekeeping' -M-iid making both cutis of the year meet, is "Pay us you go." Beyond ull countries in the world, ours is the one in which the credit is the most used und abused. Pass books are the banc and post of domestic economy, a perpetual plague, vexation ntul swindle.

But tire worst of it is that housckcc|K*rjH are tempted to order what t hey have not the means to pay tor, and when the month or quarter comes for settle incut they are straitened. A family can live respectably oh ?. moderate income, if always tiny take the cask in hand and buy where they can buy to the best advantage. They will be careful first to get what is necessary.

Again we see another instance where murder in the deepest dye is palmed off for insanity. If such bo countenanced by both Judge and jury, as was 1 he ease on last Fridriy? in t he Priester trial, we cannot eX peel ten years hence tho most cold blooded or diabolical murderer in the land to be tried for anything else but insanity. This is certainly getting to be a growi ig evil. Asylums were hot instituted lor criminals* and it is not the conscientious duty of twelve jurors and a judge to send such t here. Hanging has always been re pulsive to our people, but at the same time It has wholesome effects, and no'.hing short of hangi ng is capable of producing such effects; and it should make no difference after an outrageous murder has been com mitted, as was Priester's, if he does, act a littleqtieerlyi and the formation of his head is hot exactly that of a Webs c:', he should he bung.
