The Third of Storember.
Wo do not pretend to be a prophet or
tho 6on of a propliot, but we will venture
to predict that the third of November,
inst., will become an era in the politics
of this country. Wo believo this be
cause on that day tho people will pro
nounce such an emphatic condemnation
of tho policy of tha present administra
tion, as will cause a stop to many of its
present acts of oppression We believe
on that day a majority of the House of
delegates will be elected, opposed to the
Grant, dynasty. If that glorious result
should happen, the tyrant’s yoke will be
broken from off the necks of the oppress
ed. We know that Grant will still be
President and that a majority of the
Senate will still be of his party. But
the lower house of Congress represents
the voico of the people and without their
concurrence, no great act of tyranny can
bo imposed upon tho people. And if we
have the representative branch of Con
gress, wo will soon have the Senate also,
ioome of tho Southern Senators that have
hitherto voted against us, will then vote
with us. Besides the two Senators from
Arkansas were fraudulently elected, and
if justice is done, thoy will be expelled
anti two Democrats will be elected in
their place. When wo get a majority in
the Representative branch, we will soon
have a majority in the Senate.
A Military Despotism in Alabama
and Louisiana •
Tho people of the United States have
read, and heard of Military despotisms
in Russia, Austria, Morocco and Turkey.
Ancient history has also preserved the
record of horrid crimes perpetrated in
the dark ages, by the Military tyrants in
Rome, Persia nn-i Assyria, but it was left
.-for the President of what is called the
•^Republic of tho United States in the 19th
century, to rival all that ancient or mod
em tyrants have done. The army of the
United States under the orders of the
infamous Attorney General are marau
ding and liarrassing the people of Louis*:
iana and Alabama for no erime under
Heaven except the suspicion that they are
about to vote the Democratic ticket. Ths
infamous Williams has elected as a tool
every way worthy of such a business, the
notorious Major Merill, who formerly
was employed to ravage South Carolina
and collect fines of the people as the
price of their lives. This public Robber
ami Marauder sends bands of soldiers in
the dead of night and breaks into houses
and takes men from their beds and when
asked for their authority point to theii
pistols and say here is my authority. In
this way hundreds of innocent men, witii-
out any legal process are seized and carried
off in irons, as is believed, to prevent them
from voting and to intimidate their neigh
bors and keep them from voting. And the
Prudent intends in this way to control
the elections in Alabama and Louisiana.
L tui& is tuo use Uie army of the United
States is put to, it would be well for the
representatives of the people to enquire if
it would not bo better to do without a
standing army. It is a very expensive
i'-oiitution and is now converted into an
instrument of tyranny.
Ciiril TUgats- The Remedy.
Will tho next session of Congress pass
the Civil Rights Bill ? It is notorious
that about two-thirds of the two Houses
are in favor of it- It is certain that par
liamentary tactics cannot defeat action
on it. If the moral effect of the fall elec
tions docs not prevent, then it must pass.
The unexpected power developed by the
Democracy in those elections, has startled
and alarmed the ruling party. The pos
sible loss of the Presidential prize, with
its incalculable perquisites, two years
hence, will arouse their most fierce and
unscrupulous effort The large balance
of Democratic power is in the Booth. To
neutralize that balance, is to save the Re-
pu olican Party. What is so promising of
that result as the disorganization of the
Southern Slates, by a new reconstruc
tion? And what is so promising of that
result, as this Civil Rights infamy, preg
nant with civil commotions’ Civil Rights
is the fixed policy of that party, from
which there is no retreat To back down
on it, were a confession of weakness and
of damning outrage. Its defeat is hope
less.
And what then ? A question, more
profoundly vital, never challenged the
consideration of our people. One more
intricate and difficult never exercised the
statesmanship of the South. To deal
with it prudently will not only requiro
the largest powers in the State, but all
her experience and wisdom.
It is said the Governor will, in that
event, withhold tho school fund. But
tho Governor is sworn to execute, and
not to impede tho law, that requires its
disbursement. Besides, this school busi
ness is but a part of the field of evil. It is
said the Legislature will abolish the Com
mon School system. But the Legisla
ture is sworn to support the Constitution,
wnicn—Art. VI, § I.—provides for the
maintenance of the public Schools. Our
Schools affect only a part of the evil; yet
it is evident in this, the State Govern
ment has not power sufficient for the
emergency. The bayonet Constitution
of 18(58, obstructs. The pressing issues
are too large. A power, above and be
yond tho Constitution, must grapple
them. The sovereign power of the com
monwealth, aided by the wisest State
craft at her command, is requisite. “Old
Guard, to the front.” Representatives,
elected for far leaser purposes, with infe
rior trusts an 1 organic trammels, should
assume nothing ftom “necessity,” but
remit these issues of life and death, to
tho sovereign constituencies. Let a Con
etitutional Convention be called, with
ampiest provisions for a full represents
tion of tue experience, wisdom and patri
otism of the State. C.

corder :
Gent.—My first visit to your pleasant
and interesting city was in 1818. I cross
ed the Oconee at Holt's ferry near the
mouth of Fishing creek, and entered the
place at Buffington's corner. There were
quite a number of buildings on the street
running east and west on the south side
of the Capitol, and several stores. The
most of the business houses wore on the
main street running south to Fishing
creek. At the corner opposite the little
Market stood a large store house with
the names of Crenshaw & Cunningham
in large golden-looking letters over the
door. An old gentleman by tho name of
Apgleton Rosseter kept hotel about where
Mrs. Huson kept some years before the
war. Mr. Buffington was also engaged
in the same business. Tho “Georgia
Journal” was published by Fleming A
Seaton Grantland, who had an office on
Hancock street due north of the Capitol.
I cannot remember the proprietors of
either the Federal Union or Southern
Recorder.
My mind often runs back to those old
en times, and again down to tho present
condition of our once lovely Capital.—
How much I desire to see again the days
of Dawson, Hill, Coiqmtt and a host of
others, including little Billy Springer of
Can-oil, Devercaux and Abercrombie of
Hancock, return to the good old Capital.
I am decidedly of opinion that if the
question of removal was submitted to a
popular vote from two-thirds to three-
fourths would vote for a return of the
Legislature to the old place. There is
nothing of a public nature I desire more
to see than the accomplishment of this
object, and I do hope it will ultimately
be done.
The coming Legislature will certainly
take into consideration tho necessity of
calling a Convention, however little the
Atlanta ring may like it.
Will you be so kind as to send me one
of your interesting papers with the news
and improvements about the city. God
bless the people and place.
Very Respectfully touts, &c.,
WILLIAM SMITH.
Editors Union <& Recorder:
I promised to give you a synopsis of
two Temperance Lectures delivered in
Griffin during the session of the Grand
Council, U. F. T. I must apologise for
the first, as I depended on a very beauti
ful lady by my side to take notes. She
failed to give them to me, and I did not
give special att ntion (how could I with
such an attraction by my side,) until
near the close of Rev. C. A. Evans’ ad
dress, when he advocated a law to pre
vent the manufacture and sale of liquors.
He said the Constitution allows us to
make laws to prevent the sale on election
days, also to prevent the sale to minors
and convicts, to prevent the carrying of
concealed weapons and gambling, to pro
tect our property and to prevent any nui
sance ; then why not make laws to pre
vent the manufacture and sale of liquors
when it is such a great nuisance ? All
good citizens should combine and frame
such laws as will put it down. Let the
people in every town and county say by
vote whether it shall be sold or not.
Rev. W. H. Parks, G. W. Primate, said
the last Legislature spent much time on
the temperance cause, all from the influ
ence of our organization. He knew of
a town so temperate that if a young man
was seen taking a drink he would lose
his standing in society. The young are
led astray bv evil associations, and in our
Councils we have social, moral and in
tellectual improvements to impress the
minds of the young. As tho hope of
the future is in our boys, we should make
them sober. Ministers, parents and all
who feel an interest should pray for their
wellfare. If our temperance cause does
nothing more than impress the young it
does much good. Our institutions are
auxilliary to the Church. Ho said, once
when at the Thompson's Hotel, in Atlan
ta, he was pursuaded to go into a grooe-
ry to take a glass of lemonade, repeating
his visits he soon commenced taking
something a little stronger, and in a few
weeks he could walk into the Bar room
and take Tom and Jerry and ail the good
drinks and told them not to put so much
water in. Going home one day he knelt
in prayer and resolved never to take an
other drink. He left tho hotel and went
to school. He said ho had much sympa
thy for those who drink to excess. We
reform many by tho influence we throw
around them. He had seen some men,
one in particular, that joined the tem
perance organization when intoxicated,
that never broke his pledge. The good
people, including ladies, ore responsible
for intemperance in any community. Our
great temperance cause is moving on but
slowly, for the want of co-operation.
Whilst in Atlanta I called on Mr. J. G.
Thrower, G. W. C. T. of the I. O. G. T.
He said their order was increasing and
doing much good in many places. He
was pleased to hear of our success, we
were all working for the same object and
he was in hopes we would have no more
war with each other. I propose we bury
the hatchet, live in peace and accomplish
all the good we can. Baldwin.

A Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Washington, Oct. 29, 1874.—The Presi
dent has issued the following proclama
tion:
By the I‘resident of the United Slates of
America:
A PROCLAMATION.
We are reminded by the changing sea
sons that it is time to pause in oar daily
avocations and offer thanks to Almighty
God for the mercies and abundance of tiie
year which is drawing to a close. The
blessings of a free government continue
to be vouchsafed to us, the earth has re
sponded to the labor of the husbandman,
the land has been free from pestilence, in
ternal order is being maintained, and
peace with other powers has prevailed.
It is fitting at snch periods that we should
cease from our accustomed pursuits and
from the turmoils of our daily lives and
unite in thankfulness for tho blessings of
the past, in tho cultivatien of a friendly
feeling towards each other. Now then,
recognizing these considerations, I Ulys
ses S. Grant, President of tho United
States, do recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places of
worship on Thursday, the 26th day of
November next, and express their thanks
for the mercy and favor of Almighty God
and, laying aside all political contentions
and all secular occupations, to observe
such as a day of rest, thanksgiving and
praise.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
29th day of October, in the year 1874 and
of the independence of the United States
the ninety-ninth- U. S. Grant.
By the President:
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
Oamvention.
The following authentic expression of i
popular feeling of Warren county we j
find in the presentments of the Grand ;
Jury, as published in the Clipper of the
15th inst.
“We hope thst our Representative m
the next Legislature will use every effort
to secure the passage of an act calling a
Constitutional Convention of the people
of the State, to frame a Constitution, as
the present one is mainly the work of us
nrpers and negroes, and is in no sense
the work oftho citizens of Georgia.”
Old Warren speaks out boldly and
plainly, and says she wants a Conven
tion. It ia bat the expression of the gen

HEAVEN.
The effort made by leaders of JWbion
to introduce tho plain princess dress, de
void of apron, tunic, or overskirt,
failed, so far as the general feminine pub
lic are concerned. The majority of ladies
who are ordering dresses for the coming
season cling to the longsestablished
double dress, for really it can be called j
nothing else, composed of an nnderskirt
more or less trimmed, over which is worn
either a tonic or overskirt and basque,
or jacket, or a long polonaise. Every
variety of style is used for these upper
----- - ,garments, and a lady can take almost any
eral feeling of the people throughout th t ^e numer0U8 patterns displayed in the
State. Other counties, through then
Grand Jones, have recommended the
calling of a Constitution Convention, and
we hope the Grand Juries yet to assem
ble in the different counties of the State
will have something to sav on this ques
tion of a Convention, which is of such vi
tal importance to oar people.
Since we have been saddled with the
preeont constitution—the offspring of
carpet-baggers, scalawags and negroes,
the real body of the people have favored
the making of a Constitution of thoir own,
but they have suffered themselves to be
controled by politicans.
Now iet them speak out and proclaim
their wishes, and demand at the hands
of the next Legislature the privilege of
making a Constitution of their own.
. Griffin Star & Cultivator.
The citizens of Warren, in their re
quest for a Convention, give notice to
the wishes ot the people of Georgia. A
Convention is desired, a Convention is
needed, and a Convention will be held.
There will be no more deception prac
ticed by cries of expediency, expense,
and legislative amendment. The people
know in what true economy consists,
and they desire to make Hie organic law
by which they must be governed for
themselves.—Augusta Chronicle.
Tn Taunt to be Again Tinkered.—
The Washington Star of the 22d says:
Several members of the Committeo on
Ways and Means decided that they would
devote a i
ation of t
>rtion of this fall to a consider*
le tariff, with a view to atiemp<
various catalogues of fashion that the pat
tern houses send out each season, without
fearing that she will be out of the fashion.
The main thing depends on Hie adjust
ment of the draperies and the careful
looping back of both the upper and low
er garments. While it is true that a snug
effect is aimed at and given by drawing the
skirts back by moans of strings or elastics,
so as to make them cling around the hips,
mi buncli all the fullness in the back, it
must also bo borne in mind that by draw-
ng the fastenings too right a very ridi
culous and even indelicate effect is pro
duced, showing the onflines of the per
son in a manner as shocking to modesty
as to good taste. Although wc have
several times answered the question for
our correspondents, we will here repeat
that

is a simple long G.ibrielle waist and skirt
all in one piece in the front breadths.
The back is cut tight, with or without
side bodies, and sometimes finished with
a postilion or basque ends falling over
the deep box pleats which form the back
breadths. There is no fullness in front
or on the hips, and the fit must be per
fect, or the dress is a miserable failure.
A faw elegantes of New York, imitating
the few of Paris who have adopted this
dress, are having their handsomest silks

meagre trimmings. Around the bottom
of the skirt runs a deep kilt-pleated

Radical Rascality in Philadelphia.—
Accustomed to the knavery perpetrated
by the Radicals at eveiy election, tho
Democrats have been sharp on the watch
this time, and their vigilance has been
rewarded by the discovery and exposure
of the most astounding registry frauds in
time to prevent their consummation in the
November election. The discoveries al
ready made include four thousand to five
thousand fictitious names, almost wholly
registered in the interest of tho Radical
Ring. No honest man can \ ole for a
ticket which employs snch mesa- for sup
port. snd. although tha press oi th? t cits
may hesitate io do its duty from rear of
tho oppressive libel law, and justice may
be long delayed in punishing tiie chiefs
in this nefarious business, the exposure
cannot fail to be of great effect.
The Democratic majority in West Vir*
ginia is shown by fuller returns to be of
much larger proportions than the first
reports represented. The Democratic
majority in the First Congressional Dis
trict is 103, in the Second 6,500, and in
the Third about 8,000—total 14,603. In
the Second District tho Radicals suppor

TO THE STOtTT AND SLENDER.
There are two general rules in matters
of dress that ladies must remember in
selecting their patterns of Overskirt and
polonaises and so forth. Overskirts and
wrappings that arc larger in front than
in the back make the wearer look larger;
therefore they can be worn by slender
ladies, but. not by stout ones. Stout la
dies should wear garments that are open
in front, and not very long. They should
be carefully adjusted in the back, and not
drawn tight over the hips. Bonnets
should be larger for large women with
strongly-marked features than for slen
der and delicatesfeatured ones. Stripes,
if narrow, give tho effect of slenderness,
ind therefore should not be worn by
thin, fragile women. Broad plaids ar“
more becoming to slender than to stout
women. A snort woman may wear her
skirt demi-trained. A tall one lookr.
best in a moderately short skirt trimmed
with several flounces. Short women
look best in skirts trimmed longitudinal
ly, tall women in horizontal garnitures.
Tall hats and bonnets may be worn by
short and stout women, bat never by tall
or slender ones.

That Federal jayhawker, the Haynau
of the United States army, Merrill or
Murrill, is, no doubt under instructions
from headquarters, carrying things with
a high hand in Louisiana. A New Orleans
dispatch of the 25th inst says: “Not
withstanding that General Emory tale-
graphed last night to Major Merrill to re
port whether he had made any arrests at
Shreveport, Merril has failed to answer
as yet, ignoring the commander of the
department As the regulations require
that he should report through General
Emory, instead of direct to the War De
partment, it is understood that Emory
has telegraphed the Department on the
subject. Merrill lays himself open to
court-martial by refusing to answer Emo

A Washington dispatch says that Mer

pecuniary reward from jaellogg. The
same dispatch says there is no reason to
believe that any atrocities committed on

stating that a part of his annual message,

Uses of Buckwheat.
The name buckwheat is derived from
the German “Buchweitzou” (Beech-wheat),
from the reseDiblance of the seeds to
beechmast. It belongs to the family of
knot-weeds, of which there are numerous
species in the United States. There are
three cultivated plants, vir., common
buckwheat, Polygonum fagopynun ; Tar
tarian buckwheat, P. T atari cum, and
notch-seeded buckwheat, P. emarginstum.
The first is cultivated chiefly in America,
the second in Italy, the third in China.
There is a close resemblance in the
composition of buckwheat and rye. In
the grain of buckwheat there is twenty-
seven per cent of husk. The seventy-
three per cent of flour elosely resembles
that of rye in color and properties, and
and the amount and composition of the
ash of both plants are nearly identical
when they are grown in similar soiL The
dry grain of rye contains 2.4 per cent of
ash, that of Buckwheat 2.1 per cent of
ash.
Buckwheat is extensively used as food
for man and live stock, and is decidedly
nutritious. In the States of New York
and Pennsylvania it is considered tho
best fattening food for sheep. The un-
ground grain and fresh straw produce a
singular effect upon swine, causing cutan
eous eruptions of the skin, and dizziness
which sometimes ends in death. In some
places buckwheat is plowed in as green
manure for the wheat crop.
Although buckwheat flour is seldom
U9ed in the United States except for mak
ing hot cakes in win ter,it is employed in a
variety of ways in Europe. In Italy and
Holland crumpets are made of it which
are eaten with butter or sugar. It is also
used in these countries with water or
milk for making hasty pudding. In al
most any part of Germany it is used with
the flour of rye or wheat for making
bread. In Saxony and Silesia, buckwheat
cakes or pudding form a great part of the
three daily meals of the peasantry. Va
rious preparations of buckwheat flour
appear prominently on the tables of the
rich in Holland, Germany and Russia,
and by all classes in these countries it is
considered wholesome and nutritions.
Forty Bushels to tho A«ro.
The Farmers' Homo Journal introduces
the extract quoted below from the Prac
tical Farmer, with tho remark that it is
precisely the course pursued by all those
who regularly raise large crops of wheat
on old land—and it is substantially the
way in which Mr. Heame, of Fayette
county, Kv., raised over forty bushels
this season for every acre, over a range
of 70 acres:
For tho past five years I have averaged

• Fight Between a Tiger and n Orinly j
• On one occasion Lent was a part ow- j
ner of a traveling circus and menagerie. I
1 One day he met a man out west who had
a grizzly bear for t a c. -Vs Hie animal was
a splendid specimen of a young grizzly,
Lent purchased him, and after he got
him he fonnd himself in the position of
the man who drew the elephant. There
was but one cago in the menagerie that
could contain the bear, and that already
had an occupant iu the shape of a large
and finely-developed Bengal tiger. Lent
told one of his partners that he was going
to quarter the grizzly with the tiger.
“The devil you are," was the ans
swer.
“Why that tiger will make a square
meal for him before you can wink.”
“All right If he does, I’m satisfied,”
says Lent. “You look after your tiger
and I’ll take care of my bear."
The grizzly was accordingly lifted into
the cage, the tiger having previously been
driven to the opposite corner by the
application of hot irons. Then all the
employes of the circus gathered to wit
ness the fight. The animals sighted each
other at the same instant ; but, while the
tiger’s eyes blazed with furry and his tail
lashed tho bars in his excitement, the
grizzly simply aoJJeu in a sleepy man
ner, as ii in recognition of the presence
of the other iieust, anu crouched against
j tne bars waiting developments. They
remained as far apart as the cage would
permit for at least five minutes ; but
every moment the rage of the tiger seem
ed to increase, while the bear seemed to
be sinking into a deep slumber. At last
tho tiger began to growl aud slide to
ward the bear, moving from side to side
of the cago as he did so. The growling
aroused the bear to life, and he had just
time to measure lus enemy, when, with
the rapidity of lightining, tho tiger
sprang forward and alighted on his head
and back. For a moment there was a
terrible howling from both animals, as
they rolled over and over in the cage,
and then they separated for an instant,
the bear seeming to have shaken off hiB
antagonist. Daring this brief cessation
of hostilities it was seen that the bear
had got decidedly the worst of the com
bat, as he was bleeding freely from sever,
al gaping wounds.
The backer of the tiger was delighted,
and wanted Lent to consent to havi g a
stop put to tho tight. “No,” answered
he. “Let them fight, and I’ll bet on the
bear." So at it they went again, and
there was terrible fighting for several
minutes. It finally ended in the tiger
giving several mournful howls, and, w.icn
they were separated, he slunk away to his
corner as meek and submissive-looking °s
an animal could be. After that day the
bear bossed the cage, and if the tiger
became unruly he received a blow from
the grizzly's paw that set him to thinking
over past events at once.

I think I am »till g.Jniug every year, and j
attribute this to the sy stem pursued, and
especially to keeping sheep. My rotation
is corn, barley with clover; third year,
clover; and fourth year, clover plowed
down for wheat. I have never misBed a
crop of clover by seeding it down with
barley. It gives the grass seed a chance
which oats does not. I raise full crops
of barley, which does not at all interfere
with the grass, but I think rather helps
by the slight shading. Aftersgrowth,
giving me superior late pasture. Owing
to the danger of mice, I pasture it down
pretty close.
My soil is clay loam. I plow down the
rank clover about nine inches deep, give
it one harrowing, then haul ont my man
ure and spread. This I plow down shal
low, as I consider it important to have
the fertilizer near the surface of the roots
of the wheat plant. I use the drill, put
ting on one bushel and one peck per
ere.
I have never had a "Vheat crop hurt by
freezing and thawing, which I see yon
sometimes suffer in Eastern Pennsyl
v&nia. One season, and one only, when
we had a very fine fall of growing weath
er, the wheat grew bo rank that I pas
tured it some during the winter. I have
never had any attacks of insect enemies
on the wheat crop, and feel as oertain
of a crop of about forty bushels per acre
under my system as that spring will sac
ceed winter. It is ten years since I mov
ed on this farm, and, believe nothing
m)re recuperates a worn-out farm than
keeping sheep. They spread their man
ore evenly over the field, and I have
found the truth of what some one said,
“that the tread of a. sheep ia golden."
Under the caption of “Does Fanning
Pay,” the Hinesville Gazette says: Lest
Saturday, we saw several of our leading
farmers giving in their crop reports to
the tax collector, and we came to the
conclusion, after listening to one or two,
that farming does pay, and has paid this
year. One gentleman, who employed no
extra help, returns nine balea of cotton,
six barrels of sugar, four hundred bushels
of corn, two hundred bushels of oats,
three hundred bushels of potatoes, etc.,
the whole ranging in value, even at the
present prices, from fifteen hundred to
two thousand dollars. If a farmer with
two plows can make two thousand dol
lars, we consider it a paying business.

French Caricatures.
A writer says: “The ingenuity of
French caricaturists is proverbial. Louis
Philippe forbade the publication of carica
ture portraits of himself, but he could not
prevent tho sale of pictures of pears bear
ing a wonderful resemblance to his own
features. M. Theirs attempted the same
gamo as the Citizen King and failed.
Unable to give his features the carica
turists hit upon the expedient of omit
ting them altogether. The effect was
most ludicrous. The other day the
Eclipse published a cartoon entitled
‘The Gardner’s Dog.’ It represented a
savage-looking mastiff guarding a bone
at which three other members of the ca
nine species, a black cur, an Italian grey
hound, and a French poodle, direct their
longing gaze. The French people need
ed no explanation of the cartoon. They
at once perceived that tho mastiff was
intended for McMahon; the bone, for the
supreme power; and the three disapooin-
ted dogs for the Bonapartist, Legitimist,
and Orleanist parties. On the same day
Grelot published a cartoon entitled ‘Our
Great Orators,’ representing Gambetta,
Theirs, and other leading political orators
asleep, while a donkey discoursed ‘most
eloquently’ in the tribune. Clearly the
pencil is more dangerous than is the pen
—in France."
Labor.—It is a mistake to suppose that
labor is an unpleasant condition of life.
It is a m -.ttor cf rxpcrier:''e that there is
•roie cont ntir-ct hr attending to any
kiaJ of ocevipr. ! io. t ! an there is in looking
fjr . ome occupation. Attend therefore to
your business, anu regard your business
as being worthy of ail your attention
Workingmen are apt to consider that their
occupations alone are laborious: but in
that matter they are mistaken. Labor of
mind is generally even more fatiguing
than labor. It fa erroneous to suppose
that others do not work as well as we do,
simply becauso tbeir work is different
from ours. Labor is the earthly con
dition of man. and until the nature
of man is changed, the want of some
thing to do will produce all the hor
rors of ennui. Gambling and other rep
rehensible dissipations are all owing to
the fact that human nature cannot sup
port a state of idleness. To live without
purpose is to lead a very resHess life.
