LABOR.
Ill CKCILIA.
Workingmen constitute the Inme, sinew,
and the strength of every nation. They
are forced to iay our taxes, and hy their
labor produce the wealth which others
enjoy; yet not permitted to control the
government.
From the day when it was declared that
man .should live hy the sweat of his brow
that the earth should no longer yield her
products sjiontaneousily ilown to the pres
ent iieriod, the workingmcii have labored
and toiled in order to supply neeessaries
and comforts of life. When our first parent
was placed in the garden of Eden, it was
required of him "to keep it" thus giving
to all generations the example of industry
and labor. The importance of this subject
cannot be overestimated. It Is by labor
alone we are rendered comfortable, and
from it all wealth is derived. It would be
useless to attempt to prove the correctness
of this proposition ; as many (to suit their
own purposes) would deny the truth by
saying that, for the want of capital,many
do not enjoy either the productions of their
own labor or any equivalent for the same.
To a certain extent this may be true ; but,
on the other hand, who has built our cities,
cut down our unbroken forests, cultivated
our fields, constructed our railroads, enrich
ed our coffers, and made us a prosperous
and a happy country ? The workingmen,
by their labor, have converted our coun
try once an unbroken wilderness into
fruitiful pains ; have filled it with internal
improvements, and made it the fairest land
under the sun, whose rapid growth and uu
equalcd prosperity has called forth the won
der and admiratiou of all the European
powers.
No one who understands and compre
hends the real source of all our wealth and
prosperity would take any measures calcu
lated to degrade or impoverish such a class
of men.
In view of these facts, and others which
might le urged, it is the hity of ever one
to protect the inh-rczt of all workingmen.
Not by class legislation, nor by laws creat
ing monopolies, but all should alike be
eneuraged and receive the same protec
tion from the government. No one man
sacrificed to sustain another.
Our form of government no doubt is un
equaled, but, like an individual, has its
faults, and that is, not providing for the
working class against all ' financial difficul
ties," instead of which thousands of men,
women and children are thrown out of
employment to-day, without the means to
buy a loaf of bread ; yet let one of these
men even a woman be tempted to steal
to provide for their littc ones for let me
tssure you, the children of the poor are as
dear to them as the rich man's they arc
thrown into prison, made amenable to the
aw, when the government is to blame lor
not jn oviding against such distress, instead
nf m.ikin innmr t, fill tl.o o,AU nf our
prisons. These remarks need no comment :
cverv one must feel that wc arc drilling
into fearful breakers, and unless there is a
change for the better, it will not be long iJe;1? hen-coops, and I put new ones in
. mi T to his head : and bv and bv he irrew en-
until we will witness scenes of sorrow, woe
and distress which no pen can portray.
The present heavy rates of taxation will
lastcn this trouble, and at the same time
prove advantageous to capitalists. The
rreat burden 01 taxes falls 011 the laborer,
cither directly or indirectly, who is in no
condition to spare it out of his hard earned
wages. Property holders do not feel the

middle-aged women, mothers, perhaps, toil

ost-iblishnients are immense. The heavy
taxes the government requires forces them
to run up their prices on the articles in
nrrmnHion. makim? this revenue an excuse
for cuttin" down the wages of those poor
miserable 'women who perform the labor,
wl.'h th vrincinah accumulate wealth,
From one of these establishments some two
or three hundred women were thrown out
r ,,Avmnt reentlv : another sad
instance in oce of the dtpfxrt,nc,Ua in
Washington a number of ladies were like
wise served. There has been, and I be
lieve is still, a great talk made about the
'Society for the Prevention of Cruelties to
Animals." I don't think it would be a
bad idea for the President to found a
"Society for the Prevention of Cruelties to
llti't." U.nder the present unhappy
condition of the country, a few self-sacritic-ing
acts might immortailise himself, soften
his nature for the misfortunes of others,
shelter them from the tempest he sees fall
ing without pit on the heads of wretched
ness ; and while he feasts on luxuries, think
on those who want common necessaries
the homeless women and children of mint.
If the government could not nor iroidd
not protect and provide for the working
men, in mercy sjmre the helpless dependant
tromen, if not in Jttsfce, at least let humanity
plead their cause.
The above article teems with good,
sound common sense all through and what
makes it still more interesting, is the author
of it being a lady. It is seldom women,
as authors, take up the pen in defense of
the laboring man, but "Cecilia" can see and
appreciate the dignety ot labor and
fearless in espousing their cause. En.

OUR FAILURE.
IS
II V M. QUAD.
lie was a boy with a mission. I saw that
the moment he crept into the room, lie
had come up-stairs to get a notice into the
paper to the effect that the Ulue Rird Husc
Club had defeated the Duke of Yorks by a
score of ten to three. I thought so as I
;laneed up, but I was inistakeu. He slid
sol try up to me lame, waited until I iiaa
finished writing a long jwragraph, and then
wanted to know if he could have an agri
cultural paper.
".bless you, my son ! of course 3011 can
have one. Agriculture is a noble pursuit,
and I'm glad to see you taking such an in
terest in it. lhe boy who makes up his
mind to become a hard-fisted son of toil
should receive encouragement from every
man who has the interest ot the rising gen-
eration at heart. lherc there is a big
agricultural paper, chock full of advice, re
medies, preventives, and recines, and I'll
save you one every da."
lie thanked me and slipped away. He
was not a bov to give his eonhdenee to a
stranger at first sight, but I knew I could
draw him out after awhile, and I was con
tent to wait.
lie returned next day, and, as I handed
him another paper, I asked him how he
he got along with his agicultural work. He
refused for a time to take me into his con
fidence, but when I told him that I was
once a boy myself; that George Washing
ton was a successful farmer ; that Andrew
Jackson fed his own hogs : that Abraham
Lincoln loved agricultural pursuits ; and
Itood rcail'.to ?ivc l)n twenty years

mclt0tl away by degrees, and he replied that
ll(5 haJ aln-0!ifc completed a model hen-coop
since the morniug before. I drew out his
to his head ; and by and by he grew en
thusiastic I made plans for a hen-coop
which should contain parlor, dining-room,
kitchen, bed-room, and summer kitchen,
gave him a dollar to buy lumber and nails,
and he went to work.
It was three days before the boy came
again, ms lace wore a snuie ot triunipn,
and he grew enthusiastic as he told me
what he had done. The coop was finished

onr plans. It was no u.se to put a hen m
the coop to be murdered by foul air, and
we returned to the otlice and draitcu new
plans. The boy worked faithfully for two
1 it 1 i 1 1 i-.e
days. Jie arranged ior coid currents ot
air to come in at the bottom, absorb the
poisonous gases, and then pass out at the
top, leaving the hen clear-headed and in
the best of health. It was his solemn be-
lef that we could in tunc educate our poul-
try to pull the cord which opened and closed
the main ventilator, but while I did not
really encourage the idea I took care not to
dampen his ardor
When he came to purchase the hen a
dllierence 01 opinion arose, anu wu came
tr i 1
very near retiring from agricultural pur
suits. He contended that a small, active,
enterprising brown hen was the best, while
I stuck for a mammoth shanghai. When
I informed him that, in case of failure, we
should be obliged to sell the hen by weight,
and that we would naturally want to save
all we could from the general wreck, he ad
mitted that I was right.
I advanced the money for the hen. The
boy offered me his note of hand, payable in
one year, but I agreed that his care of the
biddy should offset my invested wealth.
lie placed her under his arm, listened eare-
fully to my instructions, and was lost in the
crowd. It was the understanding that he
should call at the offiee at least once in three
days to report, but he was w illing to do yet
better. He came around to my house at nine
o clock that evening, and his lace was one
grand pat-tureof smiles as he reported that
the hen had gone right 6 business as sooJ as?
she was placed in the coop, aud Ijad laid an'
egg. lie had the egg bj his, h'nrid. and
when I told him that he should act as treas
urer of the concern he was so overcome he'
could not reply.
That was the first att'd ht egg: A'fter'
the third day had passed withou't anothef
the boy came up-stairs and we devised ana
planned again. We bought lime, sand;
chalk, rosin, gravel, bird-seed;, t'ats, and
several other things hopping to induce ouf
hen to resume business, but she was obsti
nate. The boy likewise rcorted tliat shd
seemed melancholy. lie said she would
stand on one leg in the parlor for thirty"
minutes at a time, reflecting and ponder
ing, and that she seemed to lw'k with eon
tempt on the bedroom, which was i'ccly
carpeted with an old vest.
I hoped for the best, and he went away
more cheerful. I told him that hens .Pair
their sad moments as well as human b'elngs;
and that it was to be expected t frat slfo
would let her thoughts travel down the lano
of the dead pist once in a while.
He returned at the close of thti 6econl
day, and reported that our hen was going'
into a decline. There was no doubt of it.
She had already declined all kinds of food,
and tasted water as if she hated it. Her
melancholy moods were deeper and lasted
longer, and the boy's chin quivered as ho
remarked his mind was made up for the
worst.
Two days after that death stepped in and
bore our hen away. The boy could hardly
tell me about it, so deep was his grief.
Death came very suddenly, and she did
not suffer much. She was walking from
the parlor to the kitchen when she stag
gered, gasped once or twice, and passed
over the dark river.
I mentioned the idea of a ist mortem:
but did not press it when I saw how re
volting it was to his finer feelings. I felt
that I was more used to sorrow than he,-
and was not sure but what my plan for
ventilation had brought about the fatal - re-
ult. Therefore I knew it was my duty to
put a two-dollar bill in his hand aud advise
him to turn his attention to pigs. Wo"
formed a new stock company on the spot,
elected him President and general manager,
and his last report to the "board" sas :
Pig growing send more corn."

This is rather a large claim to niake'-
cven iu this country, wherc real estate lieif
around in parcels of considerable size, but
according to the St. Louis Republican it
may be fairly applied to the estate of Mr.
George Grant, founder of the Victoria!
Colony, in Kansas. His farm embraces the'
entire county of Ellis, is larger than any
dukedom of Europe, and contains 570,900
acres. Mr. Grant devotes himself princi
pally to stock raising, and has accomplished
a great deal by the introduction of the best
blooded stock and exhibiting the best
methods of rearing, feeding and improving
the foreign and domestic breeds of horses,
cattle and sheep. He has iust wintered
000 sheep, with a loss of less than ono
per cent., the secret of his success lying itf
providing good shelter, lie is the owner
of the thoroughbred stallion Floddeu, valued
at Sl'o.OOO, the father of which won the
Derby race in 1SG0. lie has just pur
chased for his farm thirty odd brood mares
