All friends of bumanity.should sym pathize with labor in any honorable effort to rid themselves of oppression, and the cruel tyranny of corporations and hungry greed of money cormor ants. The attempt to secure fewer hourf nf labor is certainly a commend able one, and recommends itself to all philanthropists. We are not Inclined to belie vo that eight hours ought to be a full days work, but certainly fourteen hours a day should never be demanded cf any human being. There are a preat many private corporations, such a railroad.-, strwt ear lines and facto ries, that exact too much of their ser vants. This is sheer brutality; the men are forced to endure hardships which tWe rich owners would not endure for a moment. If the employers desire the good will of tilth servants, they should treat tlicm as human beings,. and not embit ter labor against capital by grinding labor in the dust and heaping wrong .upon injury. "The smart of a poor mail's sweat is the power of the w orld." and is more of a factor in the world than money, and should not fee dirLU'.'d to by money. Ccplbal is blind to its own true inter est when It pushes labor down to the life limit; when labor is obtained at the ! of blood, it is a custly article. He idono is the true friend of humanity v ho dignities labor and makes it hon orable. Tln-e who persist in wronging fu'oor Hrt he.li.ing on the great upheaval that i sure to othiu some duy, which will cfd.ie in like an oversowing fiood to curje society. "It liart i,Leii truly said that the pr.-.it want ol tuc ag is men. wen ot limught; men of action; men who are not tor wale; men who are .honest to the heart's eop", men who will condemn wrong it; friend or foe in thcnii-elvcs a well as others; men whose conscien ce arc as steady as U the needle to the poli;; men who will sfaiid for the right even if the heavens tolterand the earth reels; men who can tell the truth find look the devil anil world right in the eye; men who neither .swagger nor Hindi; men who can have courage without whistling for it, and Joy with out shouting to bring it, men through whom the current .of everlasting life runs still and deep, and strong? men who know their message and tell it; men who know their duty and do it; men w ho know their place ami fill it; men who mind their own business; men who will not lie; men who are not too lazy to work, nor too prond to he poor.

Without questioning tke statement of lthr of them, will you allow me to glv somo ftieta. Mr. Morgan Kees lea bV, will 11800, the Interest to bo Used to keep that cemetery, and the balance to the academy. A largo majority of the cltixens of Lebanoa and vlelulty be lieve that the present cemetery will have to be moved, and they do not care to spend money fixing It up. I know itlsamarkofclviliiatlon for the llv Ing to care for the resting place of the dead, but It is no mark of cIvHizaslon nor good taste for people to have a grave yard right iu town. 1 t all go to work to get a suitable place or else buy In the Masonic cemetery. By all means let us clean up the old grave yard, but let us no longer mock decen cy by burying our dead iu town. , W. now 10 kish. A Baker City girl, signing her name ns Daisy, gives the Bevellle man a few iMilntcrs on kissing. Wo would recom mend the adoption of the rules by somo of the Union boys, salth the Oregon Bcout, and thinking It may be ot snmo benefit to somo of our Lena, non boys we give it also. Palsy says: I am getting tired of having my hair all UDset and my cosago bouquet all torn to pieces by beginners, and I be lieve If the dear boys were only told how to go about it, they would not muke sneli a mess of it. Tell them, please, that there is no necessity for grubbing a girl as if she had stolen a I ocket book, and making a lurch at her as though they had accidentally stepped foot In a coalhole whilst walk ing rapidly along the street- There Is no actual necessity to get a clutch on her dress and try to tear It off, or turn her over hiBide of It There Is no ne cessity of pulling her head forward with such Intensity that her eyes are endangered by scarf pins and long pencils protruding from upper vest pockets. Thore is no use of firing a kiss promiscuously at her eyes, her ear or her neck. To begin with, the girl is not trying to get away. Keep cool, bear In mind that you htve her soul ful sympathy, and your aims are iden ticalthat she has as much at stake as you have. Keep perfectly cool and collected, gently insert your right coat sleeve about her directoire costume and turn her gently toward your man ly form. Place your other and yet un occupied arm in such a position as the exigences cf the occasion seem to de mand, and give n gentle and soulful pull, as Amelia 1'tlvcs Chandler calls it. By this time the "Uosebuir Mouth," n.s you see fit to call it, is turned toward you. Lean over gently and let na ture do her work. The whole of the New Vork Ti-iUime is now fret by a type-setting machine which dovs the work of ihrec nien. The njre t,f improvement is making great inroadson theold trades and pro fussions. The type-setter has held on to his calling since the days of (iutteu l.iirg with little or no apprehension that his business would ever be taken from him. There have been marvel ous changes in presss-work, but men believed that no machine would c vet bo nl.l'f t set type, but now at lat, af ter years of experimenting, the work hns been accomplished, and several of the greatest daily iie-wspnpurH -of the country are using .the "lintotype" to dotlifi work of the typo. If any one thinks' that these machines are not practical let him look at a copy of tho New Vork Tribune, and ho will wu that' the days of the type-setter are about at nn end. Tho machine is a complicated one, and was invented by a man by the namo of Mcrganthaler, of Baltimore. The typo sits at the ma chine, which somewhat resembles. a piano, and plays upon a key. board which looks exactly like that of a type writer. 'The machine nwcs the trouble of distributing the typo mid d.es Us own correcting. Truly we arc living in an age of wonders. DISSOLUTION NOTICE.
