SOME PATRIOTISM LEFT.

An exchange paper comes to the conclusion that
there is patriotism left in the country, when
such heart stirring poetry as the following can be
produced.
What bust this glorious Union up?
An 60 to drawin' triggers
Just fur thunderin' passel of
Emancipated niggers'
The eagle of Ameriky
That fue across the sees,
And throde the buddy British lion

Wun wing wun way-wun tothcr,
And every sepperit pin fether

AGRICULTU u + A l..
PROFITS OF FARMING.

This was the subject of discussion at one
Of the farmers meetings at the State House
in Boston last winter. The speakers ex-
pressed different opinions in regard to the
profits of farming. This diversity of opin-
ion is not strange when i. is considered that
the prof! and loss of farming varies accord
ing to many circumstances. Thus good
farmer, favored with a good farm, and en-
joying advantages in regard to markets,
would have no hesitation in declaring that
''money could be made by farming" while
another, differently situated, states that ''it
is general opinion in his section ,ha. farm
ing was no. profitable" As some of the
estimates and statements may interest our
readers, we abstract the following from the
Ploughman's report.
Mr.. Barrett, Of Belchertown, said he had
seen men commence by running in debt for
land and pay for it, and increase the dimen-
sions of their farm. The farmer should
study the nature of his soil and what is a.
dapted to it. Some kind ofproduce nigh. be
profitable while other kinds nigh. not. In
fdTiOus UieeuS VI SbOCh, thCiC was HcoIAy
one-half difference as TO profit. Some breads
would give nearly as much again profit as
others on the same keeping. He referred
to man who purchased farm worth $2,-
500, who had paid for it, and now had mo-
ney a. interest. Where they had one farm
er fail, fifty manufacturers were blown sky
high!
Mr.. Sheldon, of Wilmington, thought
farming under good management. as prof.
table as any other business. Mechanics and
traders could not subsist unless there was
profit in farming. As an example of the DIFF
ference in management, he said he had seen
two men with two small yoke Of oxen plow-
ing in one field, in the adjoining lot he had
seen boy with one yoke of large cattle
doing better business. He cited the case
Of woman whose husband died $500 in
debt. Her oldest boy was now FL. She
had paid off the debt, brought up her fami-
Iy at home-,he buildings were improved
and the whole would sell for SO per cent.
more than when she took charge Of the farm.

How NEGEb bSLAvERY CAME TO EXIST.
Christopher Columbus was accompanied by
the celebrated Spanish prelate, Bartholomew
de las Casas. On the conquest of Cuba,
Las Casas settled there. The poor natives
were employed by the Spanish in the mines,
and, from their feeble natures and the harsh
ness and cruelty Of their masters, suffered
much, and were fast being exterminaled.-
Las Casas, out Of pity to the natives, con-
ceived the idea of employing negroes in
their place. They were procured Of the
Portuguese who had establishments on the
African coast. The three successive gov
ernments of Spain, that Of Ferdinand and
Isabella, that of Cardinal Xlmines, the re-
gent before Charles v, and that Of Charles
v, were successfully petilioned to carry
the plan OF Las Casas into effect. Under the
last monarch the request was granted. In
1903, under Ferdinand, few negroes had
been sent over to ST. Domingo. The labor
of one negro was found to be equal to that
of four Indians. Ximines discouraged the
traf1ic,-but Charles V. revived it, and gave
the monopoly Of The trade TO Flemish fa-
vorite. 1t was one of the many acts Of the
kind which gave offence in his Spanish do
mlnions, and part of the policy he was af-
terwards obliged 10 abandon. In 1918 the
right of trading in slaves was conferred up
on some Genoese merchants. in 1918 the
English secured The right for thirty years.
For The last four of these years the Spanish
purchased back the right for $5OO,000 In
1920, (the same year Of the landing a, Ply
mouth slavery was introduced into our
country. A Dutch ship brought to James
town, and sold there, twenty negroes. Thus

evil which has grown to be an immense one

the idea that negroes only could cultivate

ton southwardly. The southern people
who FIRST settled in what are now slave
States, were originally of high blood, and
accustomed TO be served, those Of the
north were Of a class who had always de-
pended upon their own exerlions. Thus il

motive, this system Of servitude came 10 be

CURRANT BUsHEs.-Having noticed that
curran, bushes may as we'll be made trees
as shrubs, have concluded to tell you how
have seen it done. In the spring of 1881,
my father commenced garden, and among
other things set cuttings for curranl bushes.
determined to make an experiment on one
of these cuttings; and as soon as it grew !
pinched off all the leaves excep, the top tuf,,
which | let grow. The cutting was about
fourteen inches high, and during the sum-
mer the sprout from the top of this grew
perhaps ten inches. The next spring
pinched off all the leaves to about half way
up to the first years growth SO as to leave
the lowest limbs about three feet from the
ground. 1t branched well, and became
nice little dwaft tree. When it came to bear
fruit, i! was more productive than any bush
in the garden, and the fruit larger; it was
less infected by spiders, and other insects
chickens could not pick off the fruit; and
weeds were more easily kept from about
the roots, and il was an ornament instead
of blemish.-.Wtch. Farmer.

LETTING FARMS.

1T is a common remark that, TO let farm
to a tenant, in nine cases out Of ten, is to
destroy its fertility. Why is this So? 1t
is because of the tenure of the lease, it most
ly being from year TO year; the tenant has
therefore no intucement, to lay out any,
thing in the improvement of the land. We
have known instances where tenants omit
ted to use the resources on the places they
respectively occupied, fearful that, if they
improved their land, landlords would raise
their rents. We have in our mind at the
present moment, a tenant who occupied a
river farm, whereon there were immense
deposits of oyster shells in high state of
exuda,ion; whose shores were lined, spring
and fall, with sea weed, and who had the
right of using the mould and leaves from
about seven hundred acres Of woodland,
but who, to our utter surprise, never avail
ed himself of either of these fruitful sources
of fertilization, although he had occupied
the farm for twenty years. Upon our ex-
pressing our astonishment that he did n OF
use them he assigned as reason for his not
having done so, that he rented it from year
to year, and if he were TO improve it, the
gentleman from whom he rented would
raise his rent. 1t was in vain we endeavor-
ed to point out his mistaken policy. Now
if this man had held lease for any consid-
erable number of years, the probability is,
tha. he would have improved both the land
and his own pecuniary condition, whereas
he left it, after twenty three years occupan-
cy, dead poor.
Landlords who have farms to let should
ponder this matter over we'll, as they are
deeply interested. Leases for years, might
be so conditioned by landlords, as that
while they insured the improvement of the
land, they would offer guarantee to ten
ants, and thus throw shield around the
interests OF both.

A CHIyALRoUs OLD BAcHELoR.-Hercu-

youth, was gallant old bachelor, a native
Of Switzerland, very rich and very respec-
table, of gigantic size and great eater. He
resided in Newark, N. j., where, and at
EIizabelhtown, was a large circle Of fash
lonablc people, and several celebrated bellies.
He was always in love and always unsuc-
cessful. But he never bore malice against
the cruel fair ones, and in making his will,
left from ten to twenty five thousand dollars
to each of those who had rejected his de-
voirs. lie said they had all grown so ugly

THE MOTHERS LAST SONG.


BY BARRY CORNWALL.
Sleep!-the ghostly winds are blowing;
No moon abroad no star is glowing
The river is deep, and the tide is flowing
To the land where you and are going!
We are going afar,
Beyond moon or star,
To the land where the sinless angels are.
lost my heart to your heartless sire;
(Twas melted away by his looks of fire,)
Forgot my God, and my fathers ire,
All for the sake of mans desire!
But now we'll 60
Where the waters flow,
And make us bed where none llpknow.
The world is cruel! the worlds untrue;
Our foes are many, our friends are few;
No work, no bread, however we sue
What is there left for US to do
But fy-fy
From the cruel sky,
And hide in the deepest deep-and die!

CARDS AT YALE COLLEGE.

You may at all times and at all seasons,
except vacations, be quite sure that some
thing funny is being enacted in the dormi-
tories Of 'Old Yate.' One of the favorite
but forbidden amusements of some of the
students is playing whist, and we hope that
none of them might ever do worse thing
than to play whist. One winter party of
four were in the habit of meeting in one of
the rooms to play their favorie game, and
their movements excited the suspicious Of a
lynx eyed tutor, who was quite fond Of per-
forming the functions of police officer
of arres'ing and bringing the culprits to JUS
tice. He had at various times opened the
door upon them with various degrees of
steal.hiness and suddenness, but although
The young men sat around the table in a
suspicious attitude, each would be intent on
book or paper before him, and the dis
comftted tutor returning from each sortie,
strengthened in his convictions of the par
ties but unable to obtain the proofs of it.
Al length the leader Of the party deter
mined TO give the tutor lesson, through
practical joke devised for the occasion. He
accordingly had the pockets of his box coat
A'hSd 'eihPo'oiH ny VIli S1out SuCOP ohiI, oio
about The righ. hour, his cook filled them
with hasty pudding, scaldng hot Thus
prepared, he sat down around the table with
his companions, who had purposely, by GER
tain movements caused the tutor to suspect
them. This time there were no books a
bout the table, and when the tutor bust open
the door the youth in the box Goa. made
vigorous demonstration of sweeping cards
from the table, and transferring them TO his
capacious pockets. The tutor walked up
to him in a Triumphant. manner, and de-
manded-
"What have you 60! in your pockets,
sir ,"
81 have nothing in them but hot has,y
pudding, sir," quietly re.orsed he of the box
coat.
"What do you mean by giving me such q
reply: Again ask you, wha. have ou
got in your pockets -
81 have told you the simple trush-shere
is nothing in these pockets but hot has'y
pudding.'
The tutor was enraged. He rushed be-
hind the young man-he plunged his hands
elbow deep in the pockets, and drew them
forth, dripping with the scalding! He beat
a precipita.e retreat, and his espionage on
that party Of whist players, ceased forever.

ADVICE TO YOUTH.

First. Habits of luxurious ease and self
Indulgence are among the obstacles to man
ly Virtue. We always pity those youths
whose birth and circumstances expose them
to be waited on and relieved from every ex-
ertion, and guarded against every inconve-
nience. The love Of ease is inherent in
most persons, and when it is encouraged
and nursed until it becomes necessity, it
is grave misfortune. Effeminate, luxur-
Gus, ease-loving young men are hopeful sub
jects for vice. They lack the manly force
and frmness necessary 10 resist temptation.
They dread Inconvenience and discomfort
more than they do sin. We can hardly con-
ceive Of 6rmness of character, stern, un-
yielding principle, existing in soft, yield
ing body. Let young people beware of
forming such habits. Strive TO harden your
body, and make it strong and healthy In
such a body manly virtue has chance to
grow, as the steam engine works best when
j. has a solid framework to rest upon.
Inoolent habits are earnestly to be depre-
Gated by all young men who would ever
come TO any good and useful end. This is
nearly allied to the subject just spoken of.
and ye, there is difference which all can
understand. God never sent US into this
world to sleep and dream and yawn. Every
young man should feel this, and endeavor
to find out the particular end TO which his
powers are adapted, and then 60 out might
and main. Idle habits grow on US rapidly
if they are allowed TO gain foothold, and
they have two-fold effect: in the first
place indisposing US more and more to earn
est wide-awake action-and in the second
consuming a great amount of precious time
which Can never afterwards be recalled
There are moments when the most active
and conscientious feel this spiri. of Incidence
creeping over them, bu. they shake it off,
and refuse to listen to its whisper. So
should every young man do at all times:
and resolu.ely apply himself afresh to his
duties, and thus, resisting it he will find .ha!
like other bad spirits it will fly away.-.N'

die an old maid" Is she frugal in her ex-
penses, and exact in her domestic concerns,

she is kindly to the animals about her, no.
