And sweet with clover on each side;

From this dull spot the world to see,

1 How the rich suffer in hard times.
“Your newspapers make a great fuss," said
one of the wealthiest men in New York to a
Worm reporter, “about the suffering? of the
, poor luau during these hard times, bui I don’t
see that any of them notice particulprly the
diabolical distress of the rich man.” 1
The reporter wasn’t aware that the rich
suffered at all. . _
“ That,” said he of the wealth, “is because
you don’t know anything about it. Why,sir,
" I undergo more actual, absolute tortrire' in an
hour than anypoor wretchin this cit:v 'If I
hadn’t a cent, in the world, I’d ha e some

is, I’m bounded to death. I’m despised, beset

in an extravagant manner I hear that am an

of my money in to make a vulgar show of it.
I suppose I worked as hard as any man for-
more than two-thirds of my life to abcumu-
late a fortune, but I believe most poop e think
I ought to give it away and commence over
again. In a winter like this you’ve :no idea
of the hardships of the rich. If Ihelp all the
people who apply to me, I_ might“ as gwell go
to the poor-house, and yet all of thenf expect
it, and most of them, I dare say, are worthy:
It’s out of the question. SO they curl me, _I

tions have their agents out. 1am waited upon

to do ? If I let them have their way my name
will be paraded as if I wanted to advertise
my charities. ' If I don’t,.tl1e press will want
to know what'he has ever doue’for Ne York.
The other day a reporter came to lie' about
my will. He said the‘ public would like to be
informed as to the proposed dispositiolr of my
property‘at my decrease. . I-suppose if I were
to get a c'Old'iu iny'liead‘ihere’d be a brigade
of them quartered under my windows; I be-
gin to feel that a rrch man is a disgrace to the
community—that sOmehow I haVc committed
a crime. I don’t like to look a man agrlarely
in the face for fear his hatred of me will show
itself or he will stop and ask me to lend him
a thousand dollars to get his starving family
some food to eat. I tell you, sir, this 'winter
is awful hard on the rich man. He doesn’t
even eat his dinner in peace. . How can he
when there ‘are are 40,000 who are dinnerlcss!
His money gets to be a reproach to him, and
he feels as if he’d like to give the whole of it
away in one lump and try the luxury of being
poor for awhile. But you needn’t say‘any-
thing about that or I’ll have a fresh battalion
to-morrow, and half the idlers in the town
will be writing rue letters. In fact I wbuldn’t
say anything about it, if I were you, but it's
a fact the rich man suffers in a hard winter a
good deal more than the poor man. YOu take
my word for it and the poor don’t pity him a
l)it.”—l\'. Y. W'orld.
The Logic of a Georgia Ear-incl: ,
The following letter is not one of I“, Po:

fan you should show your deep gratitude to
me for doing alluthis, by helping me to over-
throw the unjust Government which compels
me to do it."
,It is strange that Samba can't seem to see
mm: since, notwithstanding a school sys-
tem devoted “wholly to his benefit,” (pity
that farmer should have none of its advanta-
ges), he does not appear yet to be educated
up to the plane of this agriculturist’s reason-
ing, but presents the remarkable spectacle of
a ' “negro banded together” and “arrayed
against his friends,” there are left to fall back
upon, the more conclusive arguments of star-
vation and some mysterious process of reduc--
,ing the negro census. That corrupt rule,
poverty and ruin, have any connection what-
ever with prevailing ignorance and his own ‘
hot headedness; that, in Opposing common
schools and making his society as disagreea-
ble as possible to Northern entrants and
best friends, the average Georgia Farmer
must, Of course. not be expected to see. His
horizon is bounded by his present personal
discomforts. If “a hungry negro makes a
good democrat,” a hungry Georgia Farnrer
makes a good fire-cater, and is more apt to be
hysterical than logical. Fortunately for the
country, tlns letter does not represent the
best South, but only a certain narrow-minded
and bigoted class—unlrappily too numerous
for their own welfare; there is a respectably
large class who acknowledge the importance
of general eduCation, the advantages of intel-
ligence, and the wisdom of common-sense.
They take a broader view ,of the situation. In
them is the hope of the South—American
Mssionary. _ ,
Petroleum on Shingles.
In regard to applying petroleum 'to shin-
gles to preserve them, a writer saysz—“lt
enters the pores of the wood at once, and as
it burdens makes it more compact in texture,
' and rather less liable to take fire. The petro-
leum also prevents the surface of the shingles
from rising in downy fibers, or “fuzz,” and
it is on the whole not so liable to fire from:
sparks when treated with it. We have tried
the experiment with shingles oiled sometime
previously, and find thev are not so easily 1g-
nrtcd by outside fire. although .wlrcu once
b'urnrug they will, of course, produce more
flame than the wood without the petroleum.”
Petroleum is also very good to apply to the
iron work and steel of farm implements to
prevent their rusting when not in use. The
'crude article costs but three or four dollars
per barrel—the price may be higher at present
——and itis useful to keep on hand. When
'any outébuilding. or even your dwelhng-
house is to he painted, one-half the expense
may be saved by applying a coat of petroleum
with a fine whitewash brush, let it dry sever-
al weeks, and then put on one coat offlparnt,
and by so doing a second coat of paint rs ren-
dered unnecessary. -
Axornnu Usn r01: PEr‘ROLnun.—Consul
Stevens, in his report on the trade of Nico-
laieff, during the past year, states that that
part of South Russia continued free from the
cattle plague. But‘ his attention was drawn
in the summer to several cases of sudden
baldness of oxen and cows, and the loss of
tails and manes among horses. He recollect-
ed that a former servant of his, prematurely
bald, had got the habit, when trimming the
lamps, of wiping his petroleum-besmeared
hands in the scanty locks which remained to
him, and the result was a much finer head of
black. glossy hair than he ever had before.
At the consul’s suggestion the owner of
several black cattle and horses affected as
above mentioned tried the remedy, and four 11
that it effected a quick and radical cure. The
consul observes that the petroleum should
be of the most refined American qualities,
and be rubbed in vigorously and quickly
with-the palm of the hand at intervals of
three days, Six or seven times in all.

“Mr. Ediwr:—Thc colored people are,
- with few exceptions, dependent upon the
whites. . The white man is taxed to support
the government that gives them protection;
taxed to" support an"u‘njust common-school
system, wholly for their benefit, and forfhe
purpose of educating and elevating the social
standard (if the black man; taxed to support
court houses, jails and penetentiaries, to the
end that society may be protected from the
depredatious of an- ignorant, indolent, lawless
set of vagabonds, who would otherwise loaf
around in idleness and depredate upon the
bird working, toiling masses of both classes.
And besides all this (and the half is not told)
the white man has to furnish the colored peo-
ple with houses and homes, with land to cul-
tivate, with mules to work, with provisions
to go upon, and the mechanics among them
and other. classes with work, employment
and wages. In fact, their very existence is
dependent upon the white man, property-
holder and tax-payer. And yet, in Greene
County, to day, what do we see? Nearly
every negro banded together and arrayed in
political antagonism against their friends and
- employers. They have drawn the Color line
upon us, and are determined, _it seems, to rule
as well as ruin us; ‘Rather than submit-to
such degredation, or longer be worried and
perplexed, I, for one, am ready fairly and
squarely to meet the issue they make with
us ; for any one that is not ‘for us is against
us.’ We are net obliged to give employment
to, and maintain an enemy in our households.
Let them vote as they please, that’s their
right; .but let every democrat exercise the
same rrght hereafter of employing whom he
pleases—that’s his right. And if in the fu-
ture, you warm a viper into existence merely
to have him coil up and bite you, then it will
be your own fault. A hungry negro,I opine,
will make a very good democrat, and no
other argument, it‘ seems, can reach them.
“The idea of sending two scallawag negrces
to represent Greene County in the Legisla-
ture, who do not represent any taxable prop-
erty, is an indignity they would impose upon
us, that under all the surroundings, should
not be tolerated; better lose our labor
than our honor, and the fewer negroes in the
country (unless they can learn to appreciate
and understand their true position) would be
decrdedly preferable. A word to the wise is
sufilcrent. If you are not against us, let
your acts show 11, and the white people can
act atmordrn ly; otherwise, if you make
your bed har , it will be your own fault.

It would be difficult for even the “ex-Post,

humor of this by travesty. It ‘is only neces-

“Farmer's” first grievance: court houses

is such inexpressiblc relief to some persons

square off by an odious white wall, but to
find his soul escaping, as it were, through
the frame of an exquisite picture to other
beautiful and perhaps ‘dyllic scenes, where

THE TRUE CODE OF HONOR. A man can;
not afford to be unfaithful under any circum-
stances ; a man cannot afford to be mean at
any time; a man cannot afford to do less
than his best at all times, and under all cir.
cumstances. No matter how unjustly you
are trealed, you cannot, for your own sake,
afford to use anything but you better self,
nor render anything but your better services.
You cannot afford to lie to a liar ; you can-
' ot afford to be mean to a mean man ; you
cannot afford to do otherthau uprightly with
any man, no matter what exigencies may ex-
ist between him and you. No man can af-
ford to be any but a true man, living in his
higher nature and acting with his highest
consideration.

Time of Need.
BY M. 1:. N. murmur.
In Olden days there lived a man,
United to a simple wife,
Who worked from early dawn till eve,
And saved his earnings all his life.
He kept his precious board of wealth
Safe in a bag, tied round and round,
Until the store of coinshad grown,
In Weight to balance many a pound.
And when his easy wife would ask
“What good in so much care and greed 1 "
One answer always was returned: ‘
“I’m keeping this for time of need."
And'so through patient, toilsome years
This was the burden Of his song :
“ Let others spend; but I will save,
Till time of need shall come along."
The story traveled far and wide;
And so it chanced b. stranger came,
Who entered at the humble door,
Accosting thus the busy dame:
'_‘ Dear madame, I amTime of Need 2
I’ve journeyed over land and sea,
To claim the money your good man
Has kept in faithful charge for me."
O
“ Oh! dcary me 1 " the dame replied,
“My husband will be vexed, indeed,
That he should be away from home
When you arrived, Sir Time of Need 1"
“ I cannot wait” the stranger cried,
“ For busines calls me to depart.”
“ Then I will get your own,” she said,
“ And give it you with all my heart.”
She dragged the hidden treasure forth,
With eager haste and arduous pull;
While he exclaimed: “ I had not thought
To find my bag so large and full;
And fear I cannot take it all,
Since I came hither on my feet.”
“Oh ! ride’ the bob-tailed horse,” she said,
And take the whole, I do entreat.
“ A lucky thought! And I’ll return
The horse when next I pass this way.”
So saying, mounted and enriched, .'
The gentle stranger rode away.
The dame was left rejoicing much
That her good man from care was freed,
And now, at last could rest from work,
And think no more of Time of Need.

A Migrant—Yesterday forenoou an old
lady and her daughter drove into the city on
the Gratiot road in a one-horse wagon, and
the horse was secured in an alley near the
lower park on Randolph street, while the
women went Off in search of a dry goods
store. Some boys wandered through the al-
ley, saw the chance for a joke, and one of
them borrowed a wrench, others got a pry.
‘and in about five minutes they had placed
the hind wheels of the vehicle where the
fore-wheels had been in the habit of running.
By and by the woman and her daughter re-
turned, untied the hors‘e, led him out, and
the mother looked at the vehicle and remark-
ed: “Seems as if this blamed old horse had
been kicking in the dashboard.” “Pile in
mother,” called the girl, as she tied up the
halter’; but the mother couldn't. The pitch
was so great that the seat slanted skyward,
and the woman got off the ' hub, walked
around the wagon and said: “I’ll bet, onions
that this horse is hitched to the wrong end
of the wagon.” They were in a great puzzle

A HEALTHY FREE Lnxcnaa—A tramp,
while on his travels, noticed aplacard in front
of a bar-room. It bore the pleasing legend.
“Free Lunch,” am! he went in, walked unos-
tentatiously up to a plate, and, commenced
operations with a sandwich; then the bar-
keeper walked up to the cadaverous wretch
and said:
“Men who eat here are expected to pay for
~ a drink.”
“I know it,” said the tramp.
“_Well, then, why don’t you conform to
the rule ?”
“Cause I go in for health, and don't drink
till I am through eating.”
The bar-keeper turned his back for a mo-
ment, and the tramp slipped three sand-
wrches into his coat pocket, and calmly de-
voured four; then be walked up to the bar,
and to the dispenser of stimulants and huski-
ly whispered:
“Gimme a glass of water, will ye 1’”
“Whatl water, after four sandwiches ?”
bellowed the bar-keeper, angrily.
“Yes’r water,” replied the tramp. “I’ve
been a drinkin’ o’ it for for nigh onter forty
years, an’ it’s just the healthiest stuff again.”
And he hobbled out; but if he had caught
the boot that flew after him, he wOuldn’t have
been satisfied with the "booty” ofhis visit.

the huge, scaly turkey’s legs that stuck out
through the package, laid down his lap-stone,

At a party On West Hill,the other evening,
a number of young men—presented one of the
party who was very obnoxious to them, with
a large tin jackass, with an appropriate pre-
sentation address. But the mean man got
the drop on them by accepting it gracefully,
saying that he would always keep it, and
never part with it, and as Often as he looked
at it, it could not fail to remind him of the
donors. And then somehow or other, it seem.
ed to the young men that the presentation
had gone all kind of tune, after all.
