' 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

their descendents. Et seems to

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

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

for using profane language, wound
wp by saying, ‘‘d—m you, swear
again will you;’’-was only one ofa

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

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

Fauuine ove mt Maansaces.—Albert Rhodes writes its the December
Galaxy: Within the last few years
the marriages im the lower classes
bave become fewer, aud in the upper compar.tively rare, owing to the
dopression in business and expensivéness of housekeeping. ~ The man
would like to be néarried, bat he
cannot see his way financially and is
obliged to. restrain’ his matrimonial
tendencies. 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

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

This was a surprise but did not quite

and was laid out “beautiful.” He
also took two or three blows to
make the lesson impressive and then
he took himself off out of the way.
