"An Employer" gets off some prelty tough nuts for the unreason able employer to crack, in this issue, and every employer should read and digest it. It could injure no one a penny's tvorth, but would be a saving, rather, in the way of lights, etc., if all our stores were to close these long, hot days at 7 o'clock p. m. Then 13 or i4 Hours is as long as any reasonable man should require an employee to labor. More than that, you are rob bing him of his rights and time, and time is supposed to be money, and if he was robbing you as you are him, there would be a mighty howl. We know that a majority of our merchants would be more than glad to close early, and would do so if it were not for the penny-grabbing skinflints who have no respect for the laboring man, and thinks that by holding open he can get an undue advantage over his more humane and Christian brother. One unreasonable man can keep every store in town open. Merchants, think of this, and don't wait, but get together and come to an understanding at what hour you will close, and when that hour comes, close. Don't wait to see if the others are going to closo before you do. We have seen mer chants watching each other in times past and the consequence was that none closed as long as a straggler was on the streets. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In other words, treat 'em right, if you don't like 'em. Stops the Cough aud works 03 the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quiniue Tablets cure a cold in end day. JNo cure, no pay.

We, the clerks of your stores and places of business, respectfully ask that for the months of June, July and August, that for humanity's fcake you' will be generous enough to close your places of business at the hour of 7 p. m., every night, except ing Saturday nights, in order tliat your empioyees may have an oppor tunity to enjoy the fresh air after a day of arduous toil to have the privilege of leaving the stores which are made almost unbearable by the intense heat of the day, and of the Jamps by night, and where the busy mosquito loves to revel in his might. Citizens of Plymouth, think what an existence this must be I We do Indeed, plead for better hours. Em ployer, you cannot be the loser. If all will consent to close at a specified hour all will be equal, aud both em ployer and patron, can but have bet ter service after recreation, and pleasure we are better fitted to con tend with the exacting duties of the day, and "Justice is sure of reward," Ueu.: 3:11), "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." Matt. 'Go ye into the vineyard and work, Whatsoever i3 right 1 will give you." The relation of employer and em ployee may be summed up ys follows : What duos the worker owe to his employer? He owes him gratitude ,for an opportunity to work. He owes him a reasonable amount of la bor for each day's compensation. What does the employer owe to his employees? lie owes to those who help to make the business profitable, a fair share of the profits. The em ployer should require only a reason able amount of the employees' time. The merchants of the town require too much time of their clerks. They keep open late every night in the week. What time have young peo ple for recreation and improvement who work from 5:30 o'clock in the where it is hot all the year round 'Scott's Emulsion' sells better than any where else in the world. So don't stop taking it in summer, or you will lose what you have gained. Send lor a lr?e sample. SCOTT & BOWKE.

Would I were gifted with the elo quence of St. Paul, that I could PERSUADE MKJT tO see the folly of condemning their employees to an almost ceaseless existence of thank less toil, and that they should come together aud fix upon an earlier hour for closing. If they will not do this, then the people ought to refuse to patronize the merchant who is so eagerly grasping after the nickel that he will not consider the rights of others. The trouble with us is that we put the dollarabove principle and above the man. We do not practically be lieve the doctrine taught oy Jesus of the brotherhood of man. If one is in search of ballots to elect him to some office, he will talk eloquently to the poorest people of equality, citizenship, and all the rights of man, but when it comes to a prac tical test, it will too frequently bo seen that we have not so gotten hold of the Master's teaching as to treat every man as our brother. Give us better houas you owe it to your brother, who is the highest expression of the handiwork of God. Remember, "God has set his face against the oppressor of the poor." The long days of labor and contin ued confinement exacted of many employees is none the less an injury and a great injustice to many of your most useful citizens, to whom, under nature's laws, no adequate com pensation can be rendered for the labor of overtaxed bodies and brains. An empioyee owes to his employer an honest day's toil, but when an honest day's toil has been done his labors should come to an end. The salesman who stands in the store, the clerk behind the bank counter, or the book-keeper over his books, can be underpaid for his. day's labor, but he cannot be paid for an over day's work. If any of our merchants overwork their clerks it 'is done for gain. If all were to close ot a seasonable hour none could be the loser. I trust these lines may profitably be taken as considerate suggestions rather than as harsh criticisms. BROTHERHOOD. 'That plenty but reproaches me Which leayes my brother bare.
