' Retired from Business. ‘An Eastern paper says P. T. Barnum, the great show man, has, after anquiting another fortune, reThat is the goal of most men’s ambition. They @re anxious for the diy to arrive when they can feel assured there is no longer a necessity to exert~ themselves, when they-will have money enough to satisfy all their wants through life and leave a fortune for their descendents. Et seems to us thearrival ofsuch a day is to be tegreted.instend of coveted by any nian. He is then lke amun who first gets out of a game, but has to wait to see others “finish it. He takes no further*interest in‘ what is going on, and mast become restless: and “unhappy. He has aequired luxurious ease und evntinned idleness. His life, henceforth, becomes The pleasure which he has, through’ life anticipated would follow his retirehis steps onward yntil be finds hina self surrounded by dangerous bogs, and the object of bis pursuit still beyond his ‘grasp. Very few men acquire wealth in such amauner as long as there is enthusiasm in’ the “chase, they enjoy it, but when their hopes ara realized, and they retire down,. they. find that their. ability to enjoy leisure. is dead within them. Some one has said of of such men,‘ ‘They have spent their lives in heaping up collossal piles of treasure, which stamd at the end, like the pyramide in the desert sands, holding only the dust of Kings.”” In our opimién, happier is the man who is possessed only of feels compelled to exert himself through life to retain his little fortune intact. Judgment of Others : Octave Feullet in ‘*Led Astrny,” says ‘‘that never has any one taken. his own morality as’the rule of his opinion and judgment of others; we live as we can and judge as we should.”” Most men sit in judgment upon others faults, while conscious of similar or worse defects in themselves. We have heard men in a semi-state of intoxication, bewhom they felt sure would soon fill ‘formed. The father, who, after for using profane language, wound wp by saying, ‘‘d—m you, swear again will you;’’-was only one ofa ® large class who preach what they do not practice. How many timeg have the eloquent voices of s preachers of the gospel . beep’ wémselves have ee , arraigned and {ufidue familiarity with ex. The evil of gambling fa good subject for sermons, et the record of stock transactions proves that some very long faces have engaged in the business, Most people despise and denounce the scandal monger, but never fail to reveal what secrets they know of their meighbors, In short,as Feullet says, men live as they ean and judge as they should. They have no sympathy and forgiveness for the ults of others, although they pos: We all live in "glass houses, ang should therefore rigs throw the first stone, ‘Judge sot, lest ye be judged.”’ : -“ “ne Rain, California never saw.arainy season that was se favorable as the present one. The weather has been warm, and the storms have been mild. No damage has resulted anywhere, The rains have eome down gently, and all over the country the grass and grain crops have grown as they usually go in Summer, There never was better for mining. From different parts of are busy, and the yield of gold will exceed any your for the past decade, if things continne as they have thus . far this season, eae . conclusive against the propriety or . cows within the city limita, is peculiar to itselass. The title for and passed would be the Simoon,s weather t Communication. ao Ep, Transcrrpr: The words of **Bovillus” and ‘Citizen’ are not the right with certain reasonable restrictions to allow the keeping “of The situation of mountain towns like this the city’s site for its property holders is in fee simple, it is true; but the immediate suburbs and almost all land eontignons, is owned by the general government, The commons ate the pasiure lands of the poor, “and when an apparent necessity exists: therefor, _ should be atilized., The class of citizens who keep cows, aud desire a benefit from their keep‘ing, with leas hypocriey than ‘sowe, are, and claim to be poor, “They are the . luboring classes, and; in the urain, the’ producing elagses, who still manage te maimtain their fumiFes by their productive industry, und contribute enough’ besides. to support a lirge elass of mou-producers. They are somewhat newerous, but not enough 80 for the town’s better prosperity. The mostof them live in the swbarbs, bat within the city limite. Mainly, they own their. places and cultivate them for both pleasure and profit. Common wages will support no femily of averace numbers in this town, except upon the most common. articles: of diet, Knick knacks are virtually prohibited. Phe family cow, however, fz. nishes in their stead that which ig m 6st nutritious and healthy—pure, fresh milk, and sweet; Wholesome batter. Living is cheapened thereby. Their places are enlarged and beautified, adapted for the raising of c!over, and alfalfa. Feed is thus afforded for the eow with interest, protit and pleasure for the producer, and the land is sustained and enriched from the manurés from thestuble, With water afforded atreasonable rates for irrigating. purposes, there is no reason why every particle of soil within and surrounding this city, not dedicated to flower gardens, should not, at any season of the yeur, present an emerald green instead of a waste, parchedand uninViting. But there must be the germ of profit in it and a home market for production. This ordinanee ‘revived breath, It will curse the table with want, and rob the child and the adult of halfitscharms, Milk’ has come to be considered an indispensable article of diet. Physicians have swung around to the adoption of it as a part of their materia modica. Citizens with families. halfreared upon it have bought suburban lots and settled in your-midst,andhave brought the cow along—the feeder and the pest of the fa ily. I verily believe if, during t prevalence ef the sickly season just passed, the ehildren of this town had had a generous supply of good, fresh milk as a part -6f their living, fatal results, ip“many instances, would have beén avoided. ea the case now stands, practical nfiscation of the cows of many poor people would be the result of the Cow Ordinance, And it would seem to be a sort of grim aboriginal retaliation, if, because two or three unruly cows roam the ‘streets, the City Fathers should punish by expulsion from the city limits, and from the homes of the owners, all cows orderly and virtuous, that feast by day on the broad ‘pastures adjacent, and are half fed thereby, Let the Trustees authorize by ordinance, the impounding of any cow that is vicious and mischievous. ~ Let the mischief be proven. Find the cow and imprivon the owner, or visa versa. Amplify and enlarge the ordinance against hoodlums so as to embrace adults under sixty years of age, and vicious cows, so that “Bovillus,"’ “Citizen,” the undersigned and these vicious quadrupeds can meet on common ground in congenial companienship at the city toombs, Butdo not! do not take’ away the dearest boon of the exist: ing hoodlum element which regales itself, in stoning to its heart’s conteat the innocent and domestic pet of the family, the cow, as she wends her way, morning and evening to and from the pasture lands of Uncle Sam, outside the city limits.Rosricus, e B.

The impudent or much loving man does it and the chances are to to one he gets into difficulty. The general abstention in the way of marriage naturally has a gorrapting influence, for man’s fyassicns are strong and the flesh is weak, Attractions and forces briny the man and woman together iu spite of themselves and consequences result therefrom’ not necessury to describe.In a well regulated society ‘marriage should be within eusy reach of those who want to marry— that is,” the wauts of the couple should be easily supplied io the woney they possess Or in the work they cum perform with their heads und hands, If they have’ neithe: Gfpucity nor capital for the work the them. In this case the passive, nature of the woman may contain itself within the bondsjof a well-ordered life ig accordance. with the principles she has been taught, The positive nature of the wan is not 80 easily curbed and held in subjection and it asserts itself ina way that tends to increase the number of that body of dissolute women which marches close in the rear of every a word, grows in ‘the same ratio as the number of marriages decrease and recruits are being constantly added to it through love, misery aad the passioxs of men without marital ties, , Niptiiviih xapecsiallctpicine Methodist Church Services.
