THE DUTY OF EVERY MAN.
It has usually been considered in
this country, that the man not in pol-
itics for profit, was the better off the
less ho had to do with the political
situation. 'Phut the time he spent
attending to the politics of the coun-
try was well nigh thrown away, taken
from his usual avocations, and lost.
That was when our public men were
honest. When those who were en-
trusted with the cares of state,
administered their duties with a due
regard to the welfare of the whole,
but now. when almost every official,
from the constable of a precinct to
the president of the United States is
corrupt, when even the judicial er-
mine is dragged in the mire of selfish-
ness, and truckles to men and money,
when each man works for what he can
make to put in his own pocket, or in
the pockets of the class who pays him
the most, when bribery is rampant,
and scarcely a public man but can be
approached and inlluenced by some
means or another, when the best ad-
vocates a man can secure for his bill
in either state Legislature or Congress
is a lobbyist, when corruption stalks
abroad in the daytime even, when a
sugar trust can influence legislation
o o
that cun plunge our country into a
depression that has lasted so long, it
behooves every citizen in this whole
broad land to get up and look about
him, to bo no longer held by the
party "collar, to ask himself, and
seriously too, if the man for whom he
casts his ballot, is this man, who has
one spars of the unselfish love of
oouutry in his veins, who has one
grain of the golden rule about his
soul, and loves his neighbor one hun-
dred per cent as well as he does him-
self. It seems to us that Sodam and
Gomorrah must have been white, com-
pared to these whole United States in
their official life, and if an avenging
God, would consent to save, if only
one official were found, with but a
spark of the pure love of country in his
soul, we feel sure that the stroke of
vengeance would immediately fall.
We know that it is too often, that
the reader of such articles as the
above, says, "Oh, lie is morbid, he
is a disappointed man, in some odi-
cial aspiration," but we beg our
readers to entertain no such idea. We
well know that our voice is small,
like our paper, but great things have
often been known to spring from
small sources, and as the preacher
says, if we are instrumental in bring-
ing one person to think truly of the
present condition of things, and act
accordingly, we will be repaid, for a
little leaven, effects the whole lump.
He who in this hour of the nation's
extremity, fails in his whole duty to
the state, is a recreant to his duty, an
apostate to his God—who has given
him this fair heritage to nourish, sup-
port and enjoy—and a proper victim
of the evils which must soon fall upon
him.—llockport New Era,
POVERTY AND LUXURY.
Little girl—"Was your folks poor
when you were a little girl?"
Grandma—"We thought we were,
my dear. We were pioneer farmers
and lived in a log cabin, but it was
large and comfortable. The lloors were
warmly carpeted. We had plenty to
eat and plenty to wear. But we raised
everything ourselves and made our
own cloth. We had no money to go
to the stores, even if we had been
near any, and so we felt very poor.
There were two things we were all
fond of, anu oh, how wo longed for
them, and how we wished we could
afford them, but we couldn't and it
made us feel very miserable to be so
poor. These two things were salt
mackeral and store molasses."
Little girl—O-o-li! Why, what did
yon have to eat, then?
Grandma—Nothing but beef,
mutton, chickens, venison, quail,
squirrels, wild ducks, brook trout and
such things, and as for molasses, we
hadn't anything but maple syrup,—
