You cannot sky i at your post or nog 'lwt the trust, small or great, commit twl to you, without wrecking some jjooil and causing lona to others unxl bringing a ineiwuru of disgrace to ywuiv eolf. Aa illustrativo of this truth, so Important to our boya mid young men, wV clip tlw following from an ex change: "A Buceefiful business man sahl there were two things he learned when lie waa eighteen, which were cverafter of grut u.) to hlhi, namely: 'Never to lone anything, and never to forget any thing.' An old lawyer sent blot with an important paper, with certain iA etructlous whatto do with it. "'Hut,' inquired the young man, 'suppose I lose it. what shall I do theu?' "'You must not lose it.' " 'I don't mean to,' said the young man, 'but supposo I should happen to?' " 'But I say you must not huppen to; 1 shall make no provision for such an occurrence ; you niusl not lose it ' "This pt a new train of thought In the young man's mind, and he found f that If he was determined to do a thing lie could do it. lie made such a pro vision against every contingency that he never lost anything. He found this equally true about forgetting. If a certain matter of importance was to be remembered he pinned it down in in his mind, fastened It there, and made it stay, He used to say, 'When I n man tells me he forgot to do some thing, I tell him he might as well say, I do not think enough of my business to take the trouble to think of Itagaln.' " 'I once had a young man la my era ploy,' said another gentleman, 'who deemed it sufficient excuse for neglect ing any important task to say, I 'for gut.' I told him that would not an swer. If he was sufficiently interested he would be careful to remember. It was because he did not care enough that he forgot. I drilled him with this truth, IT? worked for me three year, and during the last of tho three years he was utterly changed in that res pect.'" Don't he af raid to do your duty be cause some one ridicules or opposes you. A man who has opinions of his own and the courage to advocate them, will be suni to have opposition iu thia world, because he runs across or contrary to other people's opinions, but just keep straight ahead if your catse u Tight and your conscience clear. Dn't bother yourself about what people say; life is too short for that. Some will abuse you through envy, others for want of sense, others still for want of principle and some because they honestiy differ with you; but if you Keep right on openly, man fully, intelligently and with -proper dignity of character, honesty of pur Kse and self respect, those who differ with you will respect you and your opinion. Several citizens ot Portland have subscribed to a fund for the purpose of aiding in the capture of (Jibbs, tho murderer. The sum of S?"SO has thus been pledged, iu addition tothesum of $200 offered by tho sheriff. The amount will doubtless be increased. The officers are severely condemned for the escape of the murderer, by the press and people generally, but the chief of police of Portland makes a good plea in their defense, showing that city oGlwr have done and are doing everything in their power to cap ture Uifcbs. The escape, uuderfthe cir etnnstuuees, wa one of thotso strange caww that occasionally happen in spite of the utnioct vigilance.but a scapegoat iiMist uece-ssarily be provided. The school bock trust is attempting to el th'j exchange of books on the iSlst of thii month. This is a direct violation of the contract, wliich pro vides that the exchange be continued until the several county school super Intend juts ttrc satisfied that all the old books are taken up and new ones sub stituted therefor. There has been no uMiee of such conclusion by the super-. ii)t?iidnts. Iu the first place, the nehool book trut should not have been allowed to wuavt it t U around this tute, but since the contract has been entered into the trut ( should be requlr d to vonforni to it to the letter.

Hero U Bouiothtuit 'from thu Hus bandman that ought to interest all farmers as it directly applies to them and states facts In unmistakable lan guage. It Is wU said that the filming aiass constitutes the members of "a mighty giant, with good health.Rfrrong arms aud Intellectual powers." The farmers do not knew their own strength, or If they do they fall to util ize it. Lack of unity Is what prevents them from correcting many of the evils which oppress them. Let them unlto on any point, aud immediately the leaders of both the great political par ties tremble in their Ahocs aud seek to cunciliato tho farmers, aud by various arts endeavor to cmiviuco them that the republican or democratic party, iw the cttse may be, is the on Unit Is on tho side of the nrieultirist. If the farmers would pay no attention to par ty bosh, but unite ou men and mca iff et that are really for their luterest, they would be surprised at their own power and the hguoflU to he derived from its prop ?r exercise. Head and remember: ? Farmers arw apt to look ou tho dark side of life. Isolated as they are much of the time from the company and In fluence of their fellow-beings they de velop a moody temperament. They sec tho inequalities of the tax laws, and know the fact that they are robbed of the fruit of their tolls by wealthy mo nopolies, villainous trusts, and greedy railroad corporations. They aro com pelled to pay a tax on property for which they are heavily in debt, while their mora fortunate neighbors, the merchants', escape such taxation. They aie obliged to pay the railroad conipa- nles more for transporting their prod ucts a few miles than Is charged the great drewed beef and Standard oil nlo- uonolies for hauling the same bulk of oil or dressed beef across the continent. They must pay not only a heavy profit on millions of dollars of watered stock but heavy rebates to these wealth-glutted monopolies. And when they think of these things they say, "A farmer's Is a dog's life; farming doesn't pay; my son shall never be a farmer." They cry hard times nudj oppression, but never think that tho means for the alleviation of their present condition, is in tiieir own hands. Politicians rob them, but they stand ready to hurrah and vote for these leeches on election day. Tyey know that if they do their duty trusts could uotexist, extortion of railroad companies would cease, and political bribe-takers would be In the penitentiary instead of running for the legislature. They knoy all this, yet the long, discordant wall of hard times is echoed and re-echoed all over the land. Agriculture is oppressed and uot as profitable ns it might be,but it need not be thus. Why should a'mighty giant, with good health, strong arms and in tellectual MW0M,and the cause of right and Justice on Ids side, lie down In life less lethargy to Ik? devoured by a flock of greedy vultures? It h:is been said that farmers are to bhuno for the pres et condition of agriculture. The ballot- box is the means provided for secunn justice, nnd is it uot as froe tw it ever was? When we farmers wake from our lifeless slumber, organlze.break the chain of party rule, and vote for honest men, regardless of party, then, If funn ing doesn't pay, we have no cause to complain.
