PENNY WISE.

Never was the penny wise policy more
apparent, han in the management of
our farmers, in many of their opera
tons. They want quick returns, and
so kill their calves, and sell them for
veal, so as to have the milk to manu-
facture into butter and cheese. They
can't wait for the calves to grow up
and butter and cheese return quicker
profits than beef cattle. What is the
result? The grown cattle are killed off,
the supply is destroyed, by killing the
calves, and beef is eleven and twelve
cents a pound, and our farmers have
none to sell.
While we enjoy a proud consciousness
of the superior quality of Reserve
Cheese" and Reserve Butter" and
indulge in a pardonable pride at the
value of dairies we would say to our
farmers, Don't destroy the future for
the sake of present gains-don't kill the
goose that lays the golden egg in hopes
to find a mine of wealth; but wait pa
tiently for the slow additions of daily
production. In short, don't destroy
your future herds, by killing off the
calves, because you can get quicker re-
turns from butter and cheese. 1t is a
penny wise policy that in the end will
prove pound foolishness.-Ohio Farm'r

MIR. MARCY'S HABITS AND
DEATH.

The Ballston correspondent Of the
New York Erening Post, in speaking Of
Mr.. Marcy's death, says:
Hence, during the last few weeks &!
his life, when he had a worldwide and
honorable reputation, when his circum,
stances were such as to allow him to
rest upon the honors which he had &C
quircd, he was in his happiest condition.
His old books and his old friends were
his constant s~olace, and when he stopped
at the antique, shaded hotel at Ball
ston, where he died, it was noticed how
he would take his chair out under the
wide-spreading elms and entertain his
landlord and the plain, ol~d-fashioned
people who gathered about him delighted
with pleasant stories which he told and
the philosophic humor, and sh~rewdness,
and social feeling which twinkled in his
keen, bright eye.
At other times he would return tc
his room, as his custom was, and taking
up some favorite old author-(he rarely
read modern literature), Milton, Shaks-
peare, Harvey amongth the poets; Southey,
Barry, or Robert Hall among divines ;
his French edition of Machraveli, Ga IA
vorite work, by the way, with Senator
Scward) or Bacon among philosophic
writings would read until he fell
asleep. And this, indeed, was the way
in which he fell asleep on the noo of
Independence Day. He had retired to
his chamber, put his boots in the usual
corner, put on his dressing-gown, and
laying down with Knights edition of
Bacon's Essays small, red quarto
volume with illustrations. When he
was found he was still on his bed his
eyes were quietly closed on one side
were the spectacles, on the other the
well-rcmembered snuff-box, and open
on his breast lay the book he so much
loved-the Essays of Bacon, and over
it were clasped his hands, hugging it to
his heart.
Such was his final sleep-peaceful
serene, and worthy of so great a life
in the midst of the thunders which com
memorated the birthday of the nation
| whose fame and power he had done so
much to uphold and extend.
What page it was on which the vol
m was opened 1 know not. Perhaps
it was on that most appropriate passage
where the great philosopher thus dis
courses on " Death :"
"a mind fixed and bent on somewhat
that is good, doth avert the colors of
death but above all, believe it, the
sweetest canticle is "nnne dtnmttis,"
when man hath obtained worthy ends
and expectations

CUNNING OUTDONE ITsELF


Kansas has pretty much quit bleed
ing, although the tools of the Black
Republican party in that Territory are
using their best endeavors to keep her
wounds open. One of the latest lodges
and of which we have warned our read
ers repeatedly, vas staying away from
the Polls SO that the pro-slavery party
might carry the day, and thus verify the
predictions of the wise prophets of mig
gerism, who told us with tears in their
eyes (poor things y that if Buchanan
was elected, Kansas would be a slave
state.
Now mark the hypocrisy, the diabol-
ical iniquity of these political nance
verers.
An election is held in Kansas to Sc
lect delegates to a convention which
must frame the future Constitution of
that State, and therein settle the ques-
ton of slavery or no slavery. Every
report which we have had from the Ter
ritory from these worshippers of wool
assures US that nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of the Territory are Free State men.
And the truth seems to be that at least
two thirds of the population favor a free
constitution. Now, under the advice
of Greedy, Seward, and the host of Alb
clifton managers, when the future con-
dition of Kansas might be settled be-
yond all question, we find the free state
men,-the actual majority, it is said, of
the population-actually and positively
selling out the liberty of their present
and future homes, in order to verify the
jercminds of their political leaders, and
thus keep alive a reasonable batch of
i~ntrieugers. Yes, we find those glori-
Gus martyrs CD whose blood some
months ago was watering and frectify-
ing and sanctifying the devoted soil of
Kansas, nov sacrificing their lovely god
dess Liberty" and offering her up with
the most perfect sang froid, upon the
altar of VIM. H. Seward. The question
was fairly presented to them. What
shall we do with the future of Kansas L?
and at the bidding of Greeley, and by
the persuasion of Chase and their aspi-
rants, all wei the North, for Black Re
publican promotion, they refused to ex-
press their opinion, when that opinion
might have been, and would have, been
the law to future generations. IF Kan
sas be free, it will be in spite of her
deadly enemies. If she be slave, it will
be because the ''friends of freedom"
bartered "Liberty" for Office. Wheth-
er she be free or slave-if her Constitu-
ton be adopted by the free will of the
people, democratic policy will admit her,
when having the requisite population.
IF she come in as a slave State, she will
be a standing monument of Black Re-
publican hypocrisy. But if as a Free
State, the day of her admission will be
quoted as the day of the death of Mig
gerism, and she will be the monument,
as we'll as the instrument, of the sudden
death of a dangerous, deceitful and by
pocritical organization.-Dayton Emp.
