Usury Quest ton
r Your correspondent "A Fanuer," give the
sentiment of trine-tenths of the whole commu
nity, not engaged ih the Slmving business, in
regard to the double crime of Usuur and Es-
Totems. But says one, what is Usury f I an
swer, under the Mosaic law any interest or com
pensation for the loan of money. Under the
law of every civilized government, it is any
nremnim or interest paid or agreed to be paid
for the use of money borrowed or retained, be
yond the rate established by law. In Pennsyl

is usury. And being a violation both of human
and Divine law, Is a rrirst.
Any one wishing to know the Bible view of
Usury, may turn to Exodus, 22-23; Leviticus,
2540: Dent. 23-19; Psalm, 15-s; Ezekiel, 18-
8; Matthew, '7-12.
What Is extortion? According to Webster, it
is among other things "Illegal Exaction," such
as taking'lllegal lets by officers, obtaining ille
gal interest for money by shaving, from such as
are under the necessity of borrowing. This is
a crime against God and man. Two men 01
high characters bre now tinder sentence of im
prisonment in Philadelphia, each for nine
months, for extortion. The Bible view of this
crime may be gathered from Ezekiel, 22-12; 1
Corinthians, 5-10 tout it, and 0-10: Where It is
classed with the vilest of crime. , , no effectual
bar to the Kingdom of Heaven. as well as the
claim of rts:pectability in society. Whatever

A pbrtion of my life has been spent, in daily
association, with children—and to-day—as I re
call the many pleasures I have received from
their tiny hands, and coming from tine fullness
of their pure little hearts—l think it no more
than mete that I should dedicate this, in a
measure, to the children.
Did you know that they bad aspirations and
hopes, trials and griefs? Yet they do—Ohl so
many, many for thew narrow shoulders to bear.
A little girl came to me one day and throwing
her arms around my neck said: "Dear Waif,
when I tint big, I'm going to be just like you."
I looked in that child's brown eyes and qnes.
tioned, "Would'nt you like to be better than I
am ?".and her answer was, "Oh ! I could'ut be !"
Dear little girls she did not know that my
life was a mixture of temptation and sin, that
I, too, needed purifying like many others. God
keep that child! and grant her u smoother
pathway than mine has thus far been. And in
the untried years to come may she be all that
ant, and all that 1 veigld have been. .I was,
"once upon a time," tucked away In a very ob
scure region, in bnch a little dot of a school
house—brown, low, and mean to look upon.—
by was I there? Well—breathe it not—l went
as an educator of twelve small pupils.
That first morning—how well I remember it,
and my walls there, of about a mile, giving me
plenty of time to [`UNVEIL, and when at last I
came upon the little old school house, standing
so brazen like, on the edge of the road, I was
half sorry and 'half glad. Two children were
making "dirt pies," such a fat, lucious one as
they presented tarmac, showing that they were
generous in the extreme—hut on the door-step
stood a boy just n real splendid boy, with a
bunch of 'blue violets" in,his hand—and all for
me, too—l kissed that boy then and there. Af
terward how he endeared himself to me, and in
many years from that; time, when he battled
with Ids lite work and did not succeed, I cher
ished the memory of the boy who stood on the
door-step, with a hunch of "blue violets."

IRO]! WYOMING VALLEY.
Eorrons or DEMOCRAT :—}Thving been for
several days out of town, we are not able to
give you as much news from our vicinity us we
wish to weekly as items of Interest occur.
As we passed through the Valley we noticed
farmers busy harvesting oats, wheat and other
grain, and all seem to have the impression that
all crops as a general thing will be good. Oats
are low now as they have been for some months.
Only a week ago tactics were here selling them
out of cars by the bushel, for lio cts, but now
farmers sell them ready delivered for 48 cents,
the crop being so much batter than was expm
ted.
Since our last, the weather has continued
rainy as a general thing, but now the clouds
have the appearance of breaking away, anc all
are wishing for dry weather. The oldest inhab
itants say they do not remember such a rainy
sea , on as we have had for the past six weeks,
and the water in the river, is higher at this sea
son of the year than it has been for a number of
years past. If rain should continue as it has,
thousands of dollars of property will be destroy
ed all through this "alley, as large fields of mel
ons and other vegetables are raised along the
banks, which are liable to he flooded by high
water.
Improvements still continue t here, as we no
tice the completion id several new dwelling
houses and stores, now ready to receive their
tall and winter goods. It Is surprising to notice
how fast our town is growing, sod the pains
taken to beautify our streets. All stringers vis
iting our town express their opinion that it is
one of the nicest towns along the Susquehanna
river.
Mr. Langdon, one of your citizens, has been
visiting our town for several days. He now
holds the position as collector for the Tunkban
nook Republican, a paper vdtich von have heard
of no doubt, as it was quite popular at one
tune, but has now faded most out of sight. It
has a small circulation in this valley. but has
shoot passed away. and ' gone where the wood
bine twineth," or somewhere else, as we in this
section, do not accept all radical ideas, nor arc
we carried away by Republican corruption. as
we are boldly going to show in the nest political
campaign.
Some of your reader; may be pleased to hear
of the dedication of the new M. E. Church, re
cently erected at a cost of over $4,000, at West
Pittston. Pa., to take place on Tuesday, Sep
tember Ilnd. The Rev. It. Nelson, of the Meth
odist Publishing House, of New York city, is
atmounced to preach the dedication sermon, at
eleven o'clock in the morning, and the Rev. R.

you say, "a day of retribution is BIM to Come
The sensation of the hour, indeed of the
week, here, is "the change in affairs In the
shops." Mr. James B. Gregg, during twenty
years' as Master Mechanic here,was lately lower
ed some degrees, to the degree of "General
Foreman." This Le declared be could not bear,
and so resigned. All will he quiet on the Sus
quehanna for the present,in a few days.
It is remarkable how quiet we kccp. In this
town, we are Just as peaceful now as before the
"local option'' agitation came around. Basque-
Latina whiskey must evidentlibe bandied like
Paddy's cannon, they must "timer it ably, if ye
plasm" The fact is, the people interpret the
law. .Thldis the rule, end the, lair has not
changed the "local option" of those choosing a
drink, nor was it intended to do so:' It has long
been the philosophy of certain. straight-out
sects, that it is easier to make 4pcicly good by
law than by example, by pains find penalties
than by lindness, fraternity, encouragement,
and practicing the humanities.
I despair of "the common people" ever ob
taining perceptions fine enough to distinguish
between the sin or of innocence of "a temper
ance man" keeping drinks In his cellar, and a
hotel keeper selling drinks al a public bar, to
such as cannot or choose not to keep them 'at
home! "Speaking of it As it is, and nothing ex
tenuating," Susquehanna is one 01 the best mg
elated places the state. The rmstin seems to
be that each man attends to the regulating of
one—him.self. 1 think they have caught the
right idea.
This thriving town seems to stand in need of
places to build upon, more than any othes pres
ent need. Mouses are being fastened upon the
sides of the Mountains, in every possible , stick
lug place, and down the ravines. almost to low'
w liter mark. Standing on Mt. Netto,l counted
over forty structures, and one church, in course
lit erection and finishing, in Oakland,'. or
"Queenside," end Siisqueliarna. And if yeti en
ter most of the houses, you find each occupied
by front two to three families. The home pop
ulation is hi the most thrifty state, for the
school houses arc crammed to overflowing, and
the streets are seldom quiet of the prattle°, lit
tle boys and girls. The healthfulness of the
place is remarkable. Undertaking and doctor
' ingotrid drugging, are, I think, with one spe
cies of exception in doctoring, not paying call
ings, unless those professions are made to pay
by the profit, rather than Mr the amount Ex
cept a very little billinusness,we bear of little or
noslekness.
This speaking of billiousness, reminds me of
a sensation they are having in ono of the
chnrches, over on "Saints' Hill," about their
music. They seem to have too mach music for
harmony. Sumebody thought the choir stood in
need of imiiroving--that the addition of a tow
fiddles, a french horn, and a ligut-boy, would
cover the detects of voice, etc., and in addition
to all would be a novelty, and would draw.—
The experiment was tried; at first in a . few pri
vate houses, to hear how it would sound. It
sounded well, and was then tried in the church.
Rut it did not sound so well there, in all ears.at
least, discord was developed in the pews, be
tween the concord of saintly sounds and the
stimulating tones of "the devil's dancing instru
ments." There was nothing left but "Hobson's
choice," as those highest in authority approved
of the innovation. The present standing is, as
we are told, that only the human voices divine
are to he heard In the morning, and the "mut
strels" are to mingle in the evenmg service.—
This is, we presume, because the new deeine is
thought to be more attractive orappropriate at
night, or something.
Our tioinan friends hare an easier way of ad
justing such matters, they would simply baptize
or bless those fiddles before using them, if
they feared any satanic contageon from their
nit, and "the altar sanetifleth thegift." Serious
ly we know a sad ease of the breaking up of
a congregation. by the introduction of a choir,
and souther rase of no teas devastation, by the
bringing in of sonic rote-books. Piety makes
some people very sensative.

Some Idea of the kind of work this firm are
doing, and the reputation they Pre winning for
superior taste and workmanship,may be acquir
ed from the following extract from the Coopera
town FiremanB Journal of . August 14th:
The Story ..11untunent.—The executors of the
estate of, the kite :Joshua IL Story, Mr.and Mrs.
Wm. E. Taylor, have jnst completed the erec
tion in Lakewood Cemetery of a beautiful and
substantial Monument to the memory of the
deceased, which most always be regarded as a
prominent ornament in those grounds. It is of
unique style, the original design by an Italian
master, graceful yet mus.siveluits proportions;
all its lines in elegant harmony; the lettering be
yond criticism. The first base, resting on solid
masonry, is a block of white granite, about flee
feet square and weighing two-and-e-half tons;
the superstructure above this is of . the finest
quality of Italian marble. There Is a large haie
resting on the granite bloek, heavily moulded,
mad the word "Story," in square raised letters ;
next a plinth, also tastefully moulded; then a
large die with four raised tablets, upon which
are inscriptions of the deceased, Ids parents,and
others of the family. The die is surmounted by
an elegantly corvea cup of the Grecian order,
encircled In front with an ivy wreath; resting
on the cap is a large urn of octagon shape, the
top repsunting a burning flame.
This monument was built by Barium Brothers
A; Blanding, of Bidgliamton, who are large im
porters of al? kinds of foreign marbles,and man
ufacturers. It Is the first work of theirs that
we have seen, and it certainly reflects great
credit on their still. The large lot is -surround
ed with a substantial stone structre, resting on
masonry and put up with great care, from the
quarry or W. fl - Woodruff, of Springfield. The
total expense was about 45,000, and the friends
or Mr. Story—who took great interest in Lake
wood Cemetery—will feel that they have shown
good Mite and that' commendable l i berality
which his estate justified.

Don't fail to look at your Feathers. Rare
them renovated, how wonderful, that medical
men instructing us in the cause of disease, have
taken so.little pairts to. impress upon us a
knowledge of the'sleletrious effects eminallog
from impure feather beds on which we sleep.—
Examine your feathers when first plucked from
the fowls. 't he quill end is loaded with grease,
blood, and other animal matter. They are laid
away and this animal matter is upon them. In'
this condition they are put into beds and used. •
Could they be well aired and never slept on,t hey
would do no harm.. But night after night fur
yells, the Impurities or your bodies east off by
perapiralon and respiration mingle with the
decaying matter of the limthers.- Bummer after
summer has some meMber of your
sweated on the same bed, the poison causing
sickness, perhaps in addition to thls,yotir young
children have slept upon it. On this foul mass
you lie, ihe warmth and moisture of your bod
ies causing its constant decomposition and fer
mentation. Re•enteryonr bed room of a Morn.'
Mg after having Inhaled pure.air; and the sewn
that meets you is almost stiffing. Or matte a
small hole in a bed from which has arisen asick,

a stomach iihich•con-carry away Its contents,
tour are to be envied: • . j •
