Town-Talk. BAWKKUPTOT BUM MAD.

In the forcible language of Artemus Ward, "It la too much, a darned tight too maoh." So T. T. thought whan be heard of one of the oaaee of bankruptcy in this community. It waa aome time ago bat T. T. baa been thinking of it ever alnce. And a recent occurrence bu caused him to think of It harder than ever. The man never bad been engaged in buaineea for himself, bat waa on a good salary. He had a wife and two children. He coolly Informed his groceryman, his batcher and others that he ooaldn't pay bis debta, and invited tU&na to meet. The report spread abroad that bad failed. "Failed!" men exolaimed, "what has be to fail on 7 He isn't i* buslcees." But failed he had, and T. T. aubmita to the coolest head that reads this article, the qaeation whether language any leas forcible than that of Artemus Ward oould do anything like justice to the oase? If that isn't running bankruptcy into the ground, what is? That is what T. T. wants to kuow. A man on a salary /ailing! Why, he abouid have pat himseir and family on oat meal gruel, «ad bagged for himself, bis wife and his children cast-off clothing rather than called together hia creditors for a compromise of his liabilities. Now T. T. has a tender heart for thoee men in business who, by the failure of others, or the stress of the times, are driven into bankruptcy. Many of theee are the moat honorable men in the community, and are deserving of hearty aympathy. And these honorable men suffer in their reputations through the mean deeds of suoh men as tbis one. The hard times have driven ao many into bankruptcy, or a compromise, that the public baa become familiarised to these proceeding*. In 0011 sequence, every follow who wants to pay aa few of bis debts as possible, and every man, who, like this one, thinks bankruptcy or compromise eaaler than economising to make up for past extravagance or bad management, takea advantage of the times. He thereby commits a fraud hlmaelf, and casta a suspicion of fraud upon the men who are honest and honorable. If it has come to this that clerks are going to fall, where Is the endT It certainly ought not to be far off. It can't be far off for it cannot be much worse. It la about time to look around and aeelf any scraps of honeaty or honor can be found. The deadhead business has gone about far enough. And If a man must be a deadhead, let blm tramp and beg, and not ateal hia living and call hia ateallng a buaineea transaction. 8acb a failure as this, of a healthy man, with a small family, on a fair salary, ia not bankruptcy, bat ia downright robbing. Almost any man engaged in business, with the changes of the rise and fall In articles of traffic, the losing of bad debts, tbe mis takea in making investments, and the like, is liable to be foroed into circumstances In which he cannot meet the claims upon blm. But such generally manage to pay those who have supplied them with the necessities of life. T. T. holds that, In ordinary circumstances, the man who knows that failure must come, ought to pay hia butcher, baker, groceryman, tailor, eto. Those who have had with blm the transactiona in his ordinary business, take tbe riaks of business, but those who feed and clothe him ought not to be expected to take auoh riaks. And yet tbis fellow eata himself fat out of his neighbors, and then wiping his mouth says complacently, "I have eaten more than I ean pay for, what per cent will you take He walks in with a coat made out of the clotb, and by the labor, of the tailor, and says, "I have been buying better clothes and more of them than I am able to pay for, what will fyou take for your claim against me? If y°u do not consent to compromise, take what you can get." That is what T. T. calls -bankruptcy run mad, and if it isn't it makes T. T. mad, as possibly somebody may have guessed

AtownwriiTO HABIT.

T. T, will flu ont hia oolumn this week with mention of a barber shop Incident. He was seated last Saturday evening In a Main street barber shop, waiting pstlently until the half doaen ahead had their beards removed or their capillary adornments curtailed. In this half hoar's detention be noticed two gentlemen occupying the barber's ohalr, each seating himself with a oigar in his month, from wbieh at intervale when the barber waa not using his rasor on the faoe, denes volumes of offensive amoKfe were puffed. While many a man of small opportunities, even boorish in speech and manner, oould not be Induced to commit suoh a violation of tbe commonest proprieties of life, yet these men are recognised in polite society and rank as men of poeitlon and example. While tbe tonsorial artiata endured the infliction without an openly expressed disapprobation, yet tbe peculiar curl of their noses indicated the oontempt they held for those who bad suoh a disregard for even common decency. What made the offence of one of tbeee men so palpable waa his persistent advocacy of temperance during bis entire stay in the barber shop. With blm, the man that sold liquor waa looked on aa little less than a flend, while the man who countenanced the traSo either by hia patronage or deportment was bat little better. Consistency, Indeed thou art a jewel.

A Woman's Opinions, THK NKW8PAPHH AS A M0BAL TOB.

We expect our daily and weekly newspapers to give ns tbe current news of tbe day and items of genera] Intereet, nor is there snv objection if tbey occasionally favor us with an editorial upon aome interesting topic. Their duty it is to furnish mental food to their readers, hai equally necessary is it that they supply proper nutrition to tbe moral nature. Therefore, in common with all the better clasa of dtlsens, I protest against suoh reading matter aa haa been furnished by some of our daily newspapers during tbe psst week. Why a commonplace sedustion case in the obscure little village of Fsrmeraburg, should be deemed of sufficient public interest to send a special reporter and devote three full columns of a newspaper to Its disgusting details is more than decent people can imagine and lest anybody should overlook tbis choice bit of literature, the attention is directed to it by striking headlines in the largeattype. If we have among as a class of people who demand suoh reading, let a paper be published for tbeir especial benefit, after the style of tbe Police Gazette, so that men and women may know what to expect when they open Its pagea but for those of respectable tastes, let us have respectable newspapers, A man does not wish to be obliged to peruse ths daily paper oarefally each day, to »if it is fit for bla family, nor does bs like to have some obscene article thrust upon the attention of bis young sons and daughtera. What is tbe object of such articles as tbe Brnnker-Troutman case? Very dearly it Is to minister to depraved tastes, and c^nae a demand for the paper. Bat, the editors may olaiua, tbey wish to "point a moral." "Very well then In a concise manner state that, for sedating a yocng girl under promise of marriage, a man was sen tenced to the penitentiary for three years, and add such admonitions aa yon think proper. No good waa ever accomplished by publishing the details of a scandal. A morbid taste will prompt people to read them, but tbey have only an Immoral tendency. Nobody ever profits by them. The young seise upon them with avidity. I know of instances in this last publication where girls pored over the papers, purchased thoee of several days previous lest tbey might have missed something, watched them for several days following, and finally were foroed to the conclusion that they had read It all. Men will Mill continue to rob young girls of virtue, to blight happy households, to break parents' hearts. Just aa in days gone by, glrla will defy a father's authority, soortt a mother's counsel, and suffer the bitter oonsequenoos. And when all this happens, let us grant them the charity of onr alienee. Bat even this cannot be done when angry and outraged relatives call upon tbe law for revenge. They may, as in this oase, succeed in panfahlng tbe villain, but It Is only to expose still farther the shame of his victim who, one would think, would ssek retirement Instead of courting publicity. I cannot excuse a girl who, undar such circumstances, would expoee herself to tbe stares and jeers ami 00m menu of tbe vulgar crowd that attends suoh trials, even if by so doing ahe could have revenge upon tbe author of her ruin.

However, I am glad that there Is ft law to punish suoh rascals I rejoice that sometimes they are made to feel tbe

weight of this law, but I regret that there ia not also a punishment for women who oommlt the same crime

Young and pure girls are sometimes the Innooent victims of designing m®n, but sfter a woman baa passed the freshness of girlhood she Is too often a willing aaorifioe. Ths seduotion is not alwaya on one aids and that the aide of tbe man. From a moral atandpolnt woman Is ever the greateat sufferer for she can never live down her disgraos, but In a legal con teat a man doea not atand a shadow of a chance and never will till women alt In the jury box. Bat let aa leave a subject ao distasteful, begging onoe more that our papers will maintain a higher standard of morality. Sive us tbe Eastern news with the ubpronouneable namea, the diaputea of foreign nations, tbe Ku-Klux stories of the aoath, tbe doings of sn incompetent Congress, walking matohee, Jenkins' aooountof a party, murders, suicides, hangings,—we can stand all these, bat in the name of good women, for tbe aake of men who try to be good, for the love of our sinless ohtldren, spare ns theee immoral, pernicious and offensive acandala.

Let us paas to another topic,—too sad, I am afraid, for these columns, but one which for the past few days has flilfcd my mind and heart,—that of

FUMBBALS,

Sorrowful at any time, even If they be thoee of strangers that we meet amid the baatle and oonfualon of the atreet. We Involuntarily pause andaigb, then hurry on, anxious to finish our work before the time comes wben we shall be the unoonsdoue one in the silent proon

The saddest and' most* touc^i ng of all funerals, to me, is that of the wife, the mistress of the house. She has gone forever from that dearest spot on earth, her home. All about are evidenoee of her taate and skill the oarpets and furniture, whioh she selected and arranged with so muob pride and care the pictures on the walls, upon which those eyes, now closed forever, so often rested every day tbe books, her favorite authors, from which she drew so muob bappinesa and comfort, she will never open sgain. Here is ber portfolio with Ita treasured contents and there a group of blooming flowers whioh have known the caressing touch of her hahds since their tiny leaves first saw the light. Her bird sings merrily in its cage, then stops snd listens for the familiar voiee which echoed ita own music. Even her little dog runs from room to room seeking his mistress. The bits of delicate fancy-work scattered about are teetlmoniala te her busy fingers. Thst tree whose green leaves wave against the window was planted by her bands, and the luxuriant vinee, with tbeir graceful tendrils, owe their existence to her untiring care. On every side are the beautiful traces of womanly taste, while within the darkened parlor lies the life, the soul, tbe inspiration of all. The soft hair is brushed back from the peaoeful brow
