I5.it lot ih cutisiiler. How m any thousand upon thoiis tinds of pooplo, yu.s I fo.tr millions, aro iu their youth doprivod of the privileges of ovoii a public nuliool education! Not legally purhapn i; but tho Btrugglo for daily bread is the primary prevention. Many ure without t-ftfeuts to direct thorn and iro ftr them. Au equal number aro compeiiou assist their widow- r,thnr .'od futherB to support a lart,j iamil unit to de fend them asjuiunt the cold charities of a fjreodr, hungry wothl. Look ing at it iu thin light, can we con bisteutly complain of tho ignorant man casting lm ballot lit re is where Hocial reform is nocessary. Hero, is whore tho benefit to be do lived from Sufiul Kfononiy can bo practicilly tested. These aro ques tions based on actual realities. They aro by no means like the (lorni m Hunter and his faithful servant "Jaiinnie.'' Tiiis old hunter, like all other riileineii. ilfliglite.l m nar r.ttiii! his tApltiit-t and always sub stantiated his statements by calling iugouliis faithful srrv.iiit, "J.tiu mio." Tho a"d sportsman was no. Ctlstoiue I t'l 0a'-4''l'llte a Ki'oat de.ll and the faithl'id si-i vaiit f jun I reat dillit'tilty in making his master's ttories appear consistent. J One day, amoni a jolly circle of his companions, the hunter in his in our conRidoratioDR. Let un turn our attention for a moment to the Astor-Willing wedding which wai celebrated in Philadelphia in 1H'2 and M estimated to UAve cost :i.O:k).(X) exclusive of towns and Kifts. Tbe bill for flowers abno was .-JinOD.OO. The necklaces, jewel, and diamontls received aro valued at jjS20'l,i)OO.0i. Tho gift" ft'l together are enough to mako a half dozen persons exceedingly wealthy. The greatest expenses lay in the running of the npecial trains and the renting of two large hotels. What a grand display it must have been 1 What a gorgeous night must have confront ed the aristocratic guests ! What joy, what consolation, what pride must have resided in tho hearts of those happy guests, if they did not need to think of any want, calamity, or woe ! liut who knows how mauy poor souls in that one city alone wcro Buffering untold horrors, were subjected to privations and misery that, wren told, would make the hardest hearts melt I into tears of compassion f Thousands of them hungering and thirsting, thousands of children and others but a short distance from tho gorgeous u flair, at that very moment, iu extreme pov erty, lamenting their deplorable con dition ! Should tho Htillenng muss bo helped out of their dire calami ty' Did (bid place man in this world with tho design that they dif fer so widely in their worldly re lations ! That a few of them should own tho world and tho mass of peo ple bo deprived of their proportion of this world's happiness? (lod created man free and equal. He en dowed each with certain rights and privileges that are by nature pe culiarly their own. Why should this difference exist? A writer iu the July number IsvJ of tho Atlanta' Jfoiittl' rcpreM-nts the President of tho Wabash H. It exhibiting ti a group of friends his s s, Mm i, 01 io, of Missouri Pacitu Stock. SH.iVHt.Odi) of Klevated ruil- road Stocks and bonds, sIi,(Ii)i),inmi, of common and preferred and some additional SUWO.OOO, invested in various securities ; and tho writer tills us, while this successful specu lator was spreading out his millions, a day laborer iu the employ of his company, whoso wages had been kept back that a dividend mif;ut be paid its members, said to a reporter that ho and his fumily wen i tho verge of starvation ; and t r, an luhrtu, old man, in reply tes tions. answered : "if v t 0 dollars a kiod 'i ; inv r o i". Tin leaves us il per inontli for clothing, medicine and other necessaries. My pay is $25 a month and I have to wait two months for that." Surely the scene in the 'Wood of tho Sonar t' is not more marked by light and shade than this. And yet this is but ouo ex ample of social inequality which can easily and indefinitely be duplicated. Xo wonder that such a state of af fairs gives rise to the communistic prayer : linl, Hi'iiil ns wivks of Sunday, A saint's il i, out)' iliiy I slilrti ut.iI Is, illllii Im-i'i'lii-H, I.ss nrk uinl ileiilili! pay. To homo this may seem a burles que ; but it gives rise to u fault which would certainly bo found to exist m case tho theory that tho government should control the in dustrial alVairs of our people. Here is where wo must draw tho line. 1 believe it will be impossible for the stale to assume control ol tun in and of the chaotic regime of chance, and the iniquity of capital in the light of their doctrine of val ue. Now, the simplest solution to this theory of socialism is the demand for justice in all our relations with fellowman. Thoughtful people have grown distrustful of the justice in these United States ; for they can not help but see how difficult, if not impossible, It is to convict a man who has ample resources. Ho may be a murderer and a villian who has wronged widows and orphans out of their possessions, but if he only has money enough he can generally laugh at the hangmnu and defy the penitentiary. Paupers who should be guilty of such crimes would very specedily be tnado examples of, to deter other beggars like themselves from imitating their superiors. We temporarily suspend tho dis. cussion of this vital question. It is an all important one and merits the careful scrutiny of philanthropists. Ere long wo will devote more space to this theme. Mrrlotii Itmtiltv. From a letter written by Rev. J. Oundcrman, of Dimondale, Mich., wo are permitted to iiiiike this ex tract : "I have no hesitation in re commending Dr. King's Now Dis covery, as tbe results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife.

"Janiinie," said tho hunter, "you explain." Jamuiio looked dowucast. Never beforo hud his master put him in such a plight, but ho knew ho dare not desert him now. Jummie begun scratching his head and said: "The rcasou tho ball entered the hind foot, tho moose was just scratching his head with that particular foot. When tho hunter and his servant were alone tho lirst time after that, Jammie was rewarded for his faithful services. "Rut, ' said Jam mie, "you must be more careful, hereafter that you do not get your lies ho far apart. I had great tlitli culty in getting that ouo together." Unlike tho hunter's our htatenicnts are facts. It is evident that very much of the suffering could bo ul lcviutt d. It is not our purposo to pull down moneyed men and to sink them into tin dephths of Hades, but to show how much unnecessary suffcri.'g, misery aud woo is con stautly ulllicting humaukind. We desire to show you by fair urgauicut that most of it i.s unnecessary and that the power to lessen theso af llictions lies in human hands, hands in most cases tilled with abundance of wealth. Sinco most cases of suf fenug and misery riso from want, tho power to relieve lies in the hands of moneyed men and conso- suci'essl'ully. While the other phases of tho Social Question present fa vorable aspects, tho matter of the state controlling tho entire wealth is u dangerous undertaking and one that would result in disastrous consoquences. LI the mass of the wealth of our laud wero in tho nation's hands, what an increaso of political corruption would wo itistituto in our country. Certainly political corruption and vice is at present the nation's worst enemy, and to institute this reform would bo worse than to set lire to the foxes' tails in tho garden of Eden or robbing Peter to pay Puul. Tho main charges brought by So cialists against tl existing economy are the three following, all of which, they allege, are consequences of tho capitalists' management of industry and unregulated competition : 1st, Unit it tends to roduco wages to a minimum required to givo the laborer his daily bread and that it teuds to prevent them from rising above that minimum ; 2nd, that it has subjected tho laborer's lifo to innumerable vicissitudes, and creat ed relutivo over population ; and 3d. that it enables aud even forces the capitalist to rob tho laborer of the whole increaso of vuluo which is tho fruit of his labor. Those aro tho threo great heads of philippic against modern Hociety; tho hopeless op pression of tho "iron and cruol law" - . , . vi necessary wages ana lue mis ll to I rem Wile. ll riilii I'.iullli' ll.'.illli Journal) First, get a wife : mtioiiiI. be n.ittent.

I suffered for fears with falling and neuralgia of the womb, kidney trouble and leucorrhcra In Its worst form. There were times that I could not stand, was sick all over and in despair. I had not known a real well day for 15 years. I knew I must do something at oneo. I had tried physicians without receiv ing any hinting benefit. I began the use of Lytlia K.
