miscellaneous.
The Farmers, Creed.

We believe in small farms and in tho-
rough cultivation. The soil loves to eat
as well as its owner, and should be nur-
.tured.
We believe in large crops, which leave
the land better than they found it-mak-
ing both the farm and farmer richer at
once.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and therefore in deep p~loughing,
and enough ofit-all the better if with a
subsoil.
We believe that the best fertility ofthe
soil is the spirit Of industry, enterprise
and intelligence; without this, lime and
gypsum, bones and green manure, mari
or plaster, will be of little use,
We believe in good fences, good barns,
good farm. houses, good stock, and good
houses.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, a spinning piano, a clean cup
board, dairy and conscience.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers that
will moi improve; in farms that grow
poorer every year; in starving cattle; in
farmers boys becoming clerks and mer-
chants; in farmers daughters unwilling
to work; aud in all Farmers who are asham-
ed of their vocation.

Newspaper Borrowers.


81 want you to go over to Mr.. Mason's,
and borrow me his ne wspaper," said a
man well to do in the world, TO his son
Robert, a lad of thirteen.
But, father, he can't have had it more
than an hour" demonstrated Robert.
IAN the better for that my son; | like
to see the new before it is old"
But | don't think Mr.. Mason has had
lime to read it himself. The last time l
VENT to borrow it for you he said he had
hardly looked into it, and he seemed as
though he did not wish to lend it,"
HE is very disobliging then, to be un-
willingto lend a newspaper to a n%elghbor.'
why, he pays for it, and shouldn't lie
have the first reading of it?"
Don't talk about what you don't un
derstand, Robert, but go to Mr.. Mason,
and ask for the paper"
Robert slowly and reluctantly obeyed,
and in a few minutes returned with the
borrowed paper. which the owner had
not yet found opportunity to open.
And this is but one among a multitude
of incidents ola similar character, which
are constantly occurring to the great an
noyance, and sometimes to the serious
disadvantage of those who subscribe and
pay regularly for the newspapers which
they read. Numerous instances of con
slant and indiscriminate borrowing, in
which the lender has been exposed To
much inconvenience, and vexation, have
come within my personal observa.

that he would never lend it until he had

The gentleman ascertained that a nea'
neighbor, who took no newspaper in tht
regular and honest way, and whose prop

as his own, was in the habit of watching
the carrier. and possessing himself of thu
paper as soon as it was left. After read

NIr. Spemcer on Annexation.

We find, in the National ntelligenoer-
q letter from Hon. john c. Spencer.
which forms another chapter in the hiss
tory of annexation. The lntelligencer
truly remarks that Emo reasonable doubt
can remain, hat il the facts lately dis
closed had been known at the time of
their occurrence, the tAnnexaiion' would
not have taken place when il did. nor ev-
IT. without the consent of Mexico. Mr..
spencer alter correcting the statement
Of MIR. Tyler in relation To the unanimily
OF his cabinet on the annexation question,
concludes with the following:
"As have no desire TO obtain a false
credit or unjust censure for acts III which
had not participated, nor to avoid res
possibility for sentiments honestly enter
tained, have deemed it proper to
trouble you with this note for publication,
merely to say that | never assented to
the course pursued by Mr.. Tyler to an
mex Texas 10 this country; that, as stated
by BIN in his first communication on the
subject, the iucipient steps towards that
measure were taken by him in conjunc-
tion with Nj. Upsher, without the kuowl-
edge of any other persons; and that. when
the matter was brought before the Cabi-
net. Of which | was a member my oppo-
sition to it was decidedly manifested
This opposition to the views and policy
of the President was the immediate
cause of my resignation of the Office of
Secretary of the Treasury, and of my re-
tirement from Mr.. Tyler's Cabinet on
the 1st Of May. 1874. That the "entire
Cabinet" subsequent TO my withdrawal
were "auxiliaries" in the plan Of annex
alton, | do not mean to deny.
Respectfully yours,
&c. SPENCER.

INFORMATION.

DR.. Franklin remarks that a man as Of
ten gets two dollars for the one he spends
in informing his mind, as he does for a dol.
lar he lays out in any other way. A man
eats up a ! pound of sugar and it is gone,
and the pleasure he has enjoyed is end
ed; but the information he gets from a
newspaper is treasured up to be enjoyed
anew, and to be used whenever occasion
or inclination call for it. A newspaper
is not the wisdom of one man or two men;
it is the wisdom of the age, and of past
ages too. AfamiIy without a newspaper
is always a year behind the times in gen
eral information; besides they can never
think much nor find much to talk about,
And then there are the little ones grow
ing up in ignorance without any taste for
re ading. Who, then, would be without
a newspaper

of Mr.. Howell, a music-seller of Bristol,
and asked to look at some pianoforte mu-
sic; and he laid before him some sonatus

intimate friendship succeeded Music

New FASHION FOR HAR.-A letter
from New York says:
Il was amused at a new fashion of
wearing the hair which has lately been
introduced by our super-elegants, and
which saw in perfection last evening.
The peculiar thing in it is to reduce the
whole head to the state of a stubble field
aud he is the most elegant man who comes
nearest 10 having his sconce shaved per-
feclly smooth. One gent, last evening,
wore his hair about a quarter of an inch
long, and as its color was red, the effect
was ludicrous enough. The man looked
as though his upper works were set thick
ly over with short fiery bristles. How
ever, if others laughed he admired, and
both parties being well pleased, the thing
could not have been better"

HThere were several constitutional
questions submitted to the people of
Maine, at the recent election in that State.
One for amending the Constitution so as
to limit the power of the legislature to
pledge the credit of the State, was carri-
cd by a large majority. Those making
a plurality of votes sufficient for the cleo
ton of Governor, Senators and Repre-
sentatives, were also carried, though the
vote is close, particularly in respect to
Governor. This is a grievous blow TO
political Abolitionism, which is Of no
consequence. except in States where a
majority Of all the votes is necessary to a
choice.
By u law of the Legislature, a plural
ity is sufficient in the case of Congress-
men also, In short, a plurality will be
the governing principle in all elections in
The State of Maine.

The PORE AND II SULTAN.-The late
new from Europe contains a strange
item, of the truth of which tire appears
to be no doubt. The French and Aus
TRAN Ambassador have heretofore claim
ed to be the Protectors of the Catholics
in the East. but there interference, i'll
cases of great outrage was exceedingly
trivial. They appeared 10 be satisfied
with the honor and the political impor-
lance which the title of"Protector" con-
ferred on them. Plus TX has applied to
the Sultan on the subject, and the conse-
quences is that a Nuncio will be dis
patched to Coustantinople who will be
the Protector" of the Catholics scatter
ed through the Turkish empire. Some
very vehement remonstrances have been
made by the French government, but the
answers of the POpe's Secretary ofState
have been of a most determined charac,
ter, accompanied with illusions far more
honorable to the church than the State.-

SEPARATION IMPossIBLE.-The follow
ing is from the Courier deS EtatS URiS, of
Saturday: A man and wife, who had
been married ten years, were established
in the mercantile business in the Street
st. Denis; having a dispute they resolved
to seperate, and agreed 10 leave the de-
cision of their matter to the justice of the
peace of their district, Accordingly they
each went 10 state their grievances TO the
magistrate. "Have you any childrenl"
asked he. "Yes sir" "How many!'
Three, two boys and a girl, aud exactly
here lies the difficulty since we each wish
to have the care of two of them; decide
Twill you abide by my de%cision!'-
Entirely" said they both at once. Very
well, my good friends, | copdemn you To
have Il fourth child, as her you may each
have two. You may then call on me
again" The two parties, we'll pleas
ed, then withdrew, d%eferring their sepa-
ration for time. Two years had elaps-
ed, and the justice had not heard a word
from The couple, until yesterday, when
he met the husband. "Ah, WELL" said
the justice, "about the separation" cal
ways impossible! instead of four children
we now have FIVE"

Influence of Railroads

A short time since, says the Concord.
N. H.. Journal, we met a heavily loaded
team a little distance from town carrying
%ctesnut sleepers 10 the depot. Being Of
a peculiar shape. we inquired to what
use they were 10 be appropriated. The
teamster replied that they were engaged.
by a contractor, and were to be shipped
TO Havana to build a railroad in the island
of Cuba; Concord chestnut. once nearly
worthless, now bringing a high price, and
shipped 5000 miles to build railroads!
We believe the Transfers load was worth
$50, all clear gain through the magic in.
~luence of railroads.
A respectable citizen ofour town, once
a resident in Springfield. on the dreory
heights of land between the Merrimack
and the Connecticut, near which the
Northern rnilroad is TO pass. lately in
formed us that he had tried long aud ear
nestly to sell a lot of timbercd land at
81 per acre, but all in vain. Not long
since some gentleman called upon him,
and offered SIG per acre, which he ac-
copied, though he might have done bet
ter by waiting. This is by no means a
solitary instance. They are Of frequent
occurrence in every part Of the country.

nor did he welcome him with less warmth
when he found that his wife had provid.

business, was delighted to find that it

The clerk was called. and both he and his
master were engaged till after midnight
preparing a catalogue of the doomed
property, the stranger meanwhile dicta-
ting the particulars, smoking his pipe and
slipping his brandy. The work was a
bout completed, the bottle was nearly
empty, and the quantity of ash in the
spitton showed that there could not be
much tobacco left in the box, when the

that he must be drunk. II should not
