DIED.-At her residence in the Town
of La Grange, Jefferson County Ohio, on
the 7th of Feb. 1855, Mrs. Eliza Winters,
wife of Mr.. Abraham Winters in the 5lst
year of her age. Mrs. Winters had the
advantage Of early religious instruction, a
pious mother planted in the breast of Eli
"a. In her religious training, the seeds of
genuine piety which sproutod in youth grew
up and maturcd in her declining years.
Mrs. Winters was the subject of severe af-
Fiction for some years before her death,
which bro't over her mind many dark days
but as she drew near her end, her sky be-
came more clear. A few days before her
death she requested the writer to admiuis-
ter to her the supper of the Lord, after she
had supped, she cried out in the fulncss of
her soul, "Bless the Lord" now l know
that l love God and he loves me. The
short time she lived after this was calm and
serene, and died in full assurance off hap
py immortality in heaven.

TIE FARMER.-It does your heart good to
see a merry fat round-faccd farmcr-so indie
pendent, and yet so free from vanity and pride ;
SO rich, and yet SO ndustrious-so patient aud
persevering in his noble calling, and yet so kind
and obliging. There are Il thousand noble
traits about his character which are rarely met
with III city life You may eat and drink with
him and he Won't set mark on you and swear
it out of You with compound interest-he is
hospitable lie will 90 you kindness without
expecting a return by way Of compensation
he is generous not so with everybody. He
is generally more honest and sincere and gives
society its best supports the frmest pillar
that supports the government.

The Prosperous Farmers.

What happy fellows the farmers must be
now. Hard times Hard times is the inces-
SAINT cry of the merchant, manufacturer and
mechanic Business is nearly prostrate.-
money at premium of thirty per cent, and
not to be had at that, without first class COLA
terals princely firms of half century's stand
ing are tottering. falling and carrying distress
and ruin to all around them,-giant manufac-
tories suspendng operations, s,--workshops
closing food of all kinds exorbitantly high =
thousands of mechanics and laboring men. with
tens of thousands of helpless ones dependent
upon them, without employment, and with no
immediate prospect of securing anv, and to add
to the chilling gloom of the picture, cold cheer
less winter encircling us in his icy arms
When, before, have we fallen upon such evil
times?
In the midst of all this desolation and dis
tress the farmer stands the only man in the
whole community upon whom prosperity and
success degn to smile. While the merchant
tosses uneasily upon his pillow, with visions of
notes due, and nothing to meet them, hard
hearted creditors, bankruptcy and ruin floating
through his BRAIN the farmer with an untroubled
heart scans his broad acres and looks the
future in the eve with an unblanched check
While the industrious mechanic, with wife
and children wholly dependent npon his exer-
tions turns with sad heart from the work
shop, where, a few months since his skill and
ingenuity had guaranteed him comfortable
support at least, and surveys the cheerless
prospect before him, not knowing where the
next dollar to purchase food and fuel for the
helpless and loved ones at home is to come
from, the farmer turns to his mother earth. as
an infant to the maternal breast, knowing that
in her ample bosom abundance may always be
found.
Such contrasts are painful, but they are IN
structive. They serve to show how strong and
steadfast is the man whose success in life is de-
pendent, not upon the Quotations of stocks, or
the risks and perplexities of trade, but upon
the SOIL the grateful soil, which like an honest
employer, pays the full value for every hours
labor bestowed upon it. Think of these things,
We who are longing for the excitements of city
life, with the hope of realizing fortunes in
day.
Hear Mr.. Holcomb on this subject.
