Keeping and Settling Accounts.

We have for long series of years,
watched pretty narrowly the habits of ma
ny farmers, and we have found that those
who have kept constant and accurate ac-
counts, and settle regularly and punctually
with their neighbors, also keep all their
farm operations in neat and regular order.
On the other hand, those who are careless
and slack in settling Or paying their debts,
also keep a slip-shod account with every
part of their farms-no system, no clock
work regularity is maintained in their
yearly routine of work They also waste
time in hunting for displaced tools, waste
money by doing work out of season, and
waste happiness by fretting over the disor
der and confusion which their own hands
have created. To avoid these evils, begin
the year anew, by settling in some shape
or other with every debtor, and creditor
and keep strict and careful account with
everybody, but more especially with your
selves-and lay out all work with regular
ity, and execute it with energy.-Bia.

THE ARMY IN New MExIco.-Col.
Sumner, Of the 1st United States Infantry,
is now making short sojourn in our city,
on his route to Fort Leavenworth, and
thence to Santa Fe, to take command of
the United States military force in that
department.
Col Sumner will take out with him six
or seven hundred fresh recruits, to fill up
the companies now in Mexico. He will
also take out supply of fresh horses for
the Dragon and Artillery service; and we
learn that orders have been given to take
out improved stock, bulls, cows, hogs, &C.,
and large amount of seeds, grains, &C.,
with farming implements, and appliances
for irrigating and otherwise developing the
capacity of the soil of New Mexico.
We think it probable, from what we
can hear, that the headquarters of the
army and the position of the troops will be
materially ch; n yed upon his arrival. There
are now in New Mexico, twenty one COM
panies of the different arms of the service.
The headquarters will be removed from
Santa Fe to Los Vegos, or to some point
where the fertility Of the soil will justify
the opening of large farm. Sufficient
troops will be retained in Santa Fe to pro-
tect that place both portions of the
troops will be sa,ioned on such parts Of
the frontier, and in such proximity to the
Indians, as will afford the greatest facility
to observe their movements and chastise
their depredations.
As soon as other more pressing duties
have been discharged, it is designed to
make the army in New Mexico self-subsist-
ing, at least to great extent
If the Government, through her sol
diers, will establish farms at various points
on the frontier, where the capacity of the
sol, the genial climate, and the advantages
of modern Improvements in irrigating can
be made manifest, it will induce large
influx Of population and consequent in
crease of everything necessary for the
support of the army and the population

m-somc people are disgusting with
great merits; others, with great faults, are
very pleasing. One sees this so constantly
in society, that it looks almost like folly
to put it upon paper; it is SO constantly
thrust in your face, that you fancy all the
world must know it. But all people do
not think of it, or there would at once be
change-so far at least that merit would
be adorned with the gracefulness Of its
nature and if vice would not doff his mask
and appear in his true deformity, still the
people would learn that the beautiful skin
of the serpent does not make its venom less
deadly, nor recommend it as domestic pet.

CONSOLATION.
By CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH"

When the strcamlct is dried up,
Then fly 10 the fountain!
When the valley is flooded,
Then haste r. the mountaini
When the arm thou hast leaned on,
Is laid in the dust,
On the arm of thy God
Lean, with Faiths cheerful trust
Earth's gouris. oh how tempting
Their flower and their fruit
How We love their sweet shadow
But a worms at the rootl
When thy gourd, that once sheltered,
Is withered away,
Be the shadow of Jesus
Thy shelter and stay!
How oft have Hopes visions
Deceived the fond-hearted,
Like the rainbow they shone:
Like The rainbow departed!
When their light that once sparkled
Is darkened and gone,
See the rainbow that fades not
1t arches Gods throne.
How oft have earth's pleasures,
For which our hearts painted,
Like the brigh; poison-borry,
Proved deadly, when grantedi
When the soul has been s;ckensd
With eartl's poisoned joy;
Look up for pure pleasure,
Their fountains Oil high!
As the dove, when Of old
From III; ark il went forth,
Some green spot 10 rest on,
To seek through the earth,
When it found that the deiuge,
$50 deep and So dark
Left no green spot uncovered,
Returned 10 the ark.
So, when the foods Of afiliction
Have deluged all round,
Aid no green spot Of g.aincss-
No hope branch is found,
Then flee TO the Savior,
The true ark of restl
Oh! there's no place of shelter
Like his plying breast!
When there, thou art sheltered,
Though storms wrap the skies,
And higher and higher
The deep foods arise,
Above the dark waters
The ark lifted high,
And bears its blessed inmates
To Coos mount-the sky!
By the srorn and the scoffing,
For thy sake lie bore
BY the sharp crown Of thorns,
For thy sake he wore
By the sweat in the garden,
The death on the tree,
To Him, who redeemed thoe-
Thou wearied one, fee.
From Him, thine own Savior,
Whate'er NAV betiie thee,
No distance can sever,
No sorrow divide thee!
Earth's friends may .Jors1tc-
But Hen forsake-never;
Earih's loved ones MUST Dill
But he lives-ior ever.
In love he afIlicts thee;
In N srcy he chasteps;
To wound he is slow
To bind up-IIe hastens.
When thy sins call for chastonings,
Twill comfort impart-
Though 4 frown's on His brow,
Yet, there's love in His heartl
Each dear earthly cistern
BY His hand may be brokeni
But the stroke, though severe,
OF His love is a token.
He breaks them, that We,
BY their loss may be led
To drink Of pure pleasures
From joys fountain head.
To Him who so loved thee,
Let grief draw thee nearer:
Each dear precious promise
Let sorrow make dearer,
Then welcome the trial,
By which there is given
To thy soul more of Godi
To thy heart more Of Heaveui

A Hero.

Some two years ago, young man, be
longing to Philadelphia, was returning by
railroad to that city, from the town OF
Reading, Pennsylvania. By an accident
which happened to the train as it was ap.
preaching town, and while he was standing
on the platform, he was thrown off, and
fell partly under the wheel of the succeed
ing car, and his right arm, marrow,
bones, and all,' crushed to a jelly, and
dropped uselessly at his side This, how
lever, was fortunately his only injury. lie
was young man of determined nerve, and
of the noblest spirit. He uttered no COM
plaint-not even a groan.
When the train arrived at the depot, a
carriage was Immediately called, when, at
tended by his friend, he said, Drive at
once to DR.. --'s, is Walnut street"
"Had'nt you better 60 INN edately
home % asked his friend.
"No,' said he, {" l don't want them to
know anything about me until all is over"
"Our hero" for he was hero, was
deaf to all the counter-remonstrances of
his friend, and they drove rapidly to the
house of the eminent surgeon alluded to.
They were shown into the parlor and the
doctor was summoned. After the exami-
nation, " Well, my dear fellow said the
surgeon, for he was well acquainted with
his patient, ''you know, 1 suppose, what
must be done a do" he replied
"and it is for the purpose of having it
done I am here "My surgical table,"
said the doctor, " is below "Can it not
be done without that" asked the sufferer,
q | can not be tied-I can not be held
Amputate my arm here, doctor,'' he con-
tinued, holding out his dangling limb over
the back of the sofa. "Do it here, doc
tor; shall not interfere with your ope-
rations'
The limb was barred, two attendants,
medical students in the house, were sum-
moned; the arm was taken off above the
elbow, while the patient sat as he had re-
quested, uttering no groan, nor speaking a
single word, while the operation was being
performed. The dressings were applied
and, attended by his friend, the patient
had reached the door, on his way to his
own house, which was very near by, when
he turned round to the surgeon and said,
" Doctor, should like to look at my arm
once more pray let me see it" The
surgeon raised the mangled limb the
patient glanced at the bloodless hand and
said, /" Doctor, there is ring upon the
middle finger of that hand, won't you
take it off for me? My mother gave me
that ring on her death bed | can part
with my arm, but while / live, | can't
part with that ring The ring was slip
ped from the cold white finger "Put it
on that finger" said he, holding out the
same finger on the left hand As he was {
leaving the door, with his attendant, to {
enter the carriage, he said, "How shall 1
break this thing to my poor sister" PIT

The growth under the tariff of 1912 was,
as is here seen, almost forty per cent, while
the decline under that of 1916 has been

In the SENATE, Yesterday, Mr.. Jones, Of
Iowa. presented the joint resolution Of the
Legislature Of his State, approving of the
Compromise measures. Gen. Shields
resolution, appointing three Senator's to
introduce NJ. Kossuth to the Senate, was
a first time refused to be taken up, quo
rum not being present. 1t was afserward
put to the vote, when 80 voted in favor of
its being taken up; Nays not counted. A
debate followed, in which several Senator's
took part. On putting the question finally,
the Senate divided. Ayes, 30; Nays, Is.
The bill establishing a Mint in Caifor-
MIA was passed.
The Senate then resumed the debate on
the Compromise resolution. Mr. Rhett
spoke at great length. Messrs. Mason,
Foete, Borland, and others took part, but
the Senate adjourned before taking vote.
In the House there was a coed deal of
routine business. A question arose In re-
ference to the employment of the workmen
who have been hitherto employed on the
improvements on the wings of the Capitol,
whose work had been suspended for want
of funds. The resolution ordering an APP
preparation was referred to the Committee
on the State Of the Union.

The President and the Press.

We 'can confidently assure our cotemporay
tina, no disrespeci to the President was intended
any more than to the Governor OF the State
who. though invited to the Banquet, and very
warmly sympathizing with its objects, was not
remembered IN the toasts We utterly repel the
suggestion that any disloyalty' or disrespec. to
the President, is implied in failure TO toast him
at public dinner
Still, we admit that IN this particular instance,
the omission Of the toast suggested by The Com
mercial was unfortunate, and, If intended. would
have been unjust. The illusions in his Message
to the Hungarian cause deserved at least an ac-
acknowledgement His repeated recognltlons OF
the Nations Guest as d" Governor kossuth' mot
in the past tense, but the presently are most sig.
nificant, and we reprint from that Message the
following paragraph and express our regret that
the latter part of it had not been given as toast
at the Press BanQuet--viz.:
