FARMERS CREED.-We belive in
small farms and thorough cultivation
We believe the soil loves to eat as well
as its owner, and ought therefore to be well
manured.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things and therefore in deep plowing and
enough of it. All the better if it be a
subsoil plow.
We believe in large crops which leave
land better than when they found it
making both the farm and farmer rich at
once
We believe that every farm should own
a good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer of
any soil, is spirit of industry, enterprise
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. this, lime, gyp-
sum and guano will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good Barns,
and good farm houses, good orchards, and
children enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, neat
wife in it, a clean cupboard, clean dairy,
and a clean conscience.

THE JOYFUL BAND.

We come We come, joyful band,
Array'd in smiles to-day,
Still greeting, as we travel on,
Fresh numbers by the way;
And winding by the greenwood side,
Still swells our little host,
And multitudes are gath ring fast,
Our countrys pride and boast.
The Sunday schools the Sunday schools
We gayly pass along,
With banners bright spread to the breeze,
With music and with song!
We haste the day to celebrate
Which our forefathers haiPd,
Who fought and bled in freedoms cause,
And gloriously prevaiPd.
We hold the blessed Bible as
Our charter and our shield;
Its precepts and its promises
A powerful sword TO WELD:
With freeborn minds and bounding hearts,
We prize its sacred truth,
For comfort in declining age
Our guide in early youth
o, holy book o, happy day!
May unborn millions stand, -.
Surrounded by these bulwarks strong;
Throughout this happy land; IL
Nor tyrant's rod, nor despot's power,
Deprive US of our right
To serve our country and our God
In freedoms blessed light
The Sunday schools the Sunday schools
Blest be the wondrous plan
So strong its power, so fraught with love,
Descending down to mani
The Bible and the Sunday school
Our bulwark firm shall be, -.
To guard our rights, maintain our laws,
Preserve our liberty.
And when we stand ON Zion's heights
In the bright world above,
Where golden harps are sounding forth
The Saviour's dying love. ~.
The Bible and the Sunday school
Our anthems still shall be,
For they have led our wand ring feet,
o Lord, to heaven and thee

ELLEN BAYNE.

Soft be thy slumbers,
Rude cares depart;
Visions in numbers
Cheer thy young heart;
Dream on while bright hours
And fond hopes remain,
Blooming like smiling flowers,
For thee, Ellen Bayne.
Gentle slumbers DER thee glide,
Dreams of beauty round thee bide,
While linger by thy side.
Sweet Ellen Bayne.
Dream not in anguish,
Dream not In fear,
Love shall not languish,
Fond ones are near.
Sleeping or waking,
In pleasure or pain,
Warm hearts viii beat for thee.
Sweet Ellen Bayne.
Gentle slumbers, &C.
Scenes that have vanished
Smile on thee now,
Pleasures once banished
Play round thy brow;
Forms long departed
Greet thee again,
Soothing thy dreaming heart,
Sweet Ellen Bsyne.
Gentle slumbers, &c.

THURSDAY, JUNE'24, 1853.

it almost broke her heart to think of poor
Sammy and Charles, and little Tinny, who
had been crying for bread all the morning
When told to satisfy her appetite, while
basket was filled for her to take home, she
fell at it as one half starved, yet as soon as
the basket was ready she would remain no
longer, but fastened with it to her starving
family
This tale of suffering related by my
friend touched my heart. | learned from
him where the poor family were to be
found, and that very hour | repaired to
their dwelling Judge my surprise when
| found this girl was no other than Mary
herself Her dismissal from our service,
at time when situations were so difficult
to be obtained, had brought deserving
family to the brink of starvation Ofcourse
| relieved their present necessities, and told
Mary to come back tomorrow morning.
They overwhelmed me with expressions of
gratitude, but ] felt more like culprit
than benefactor
But you did not intend any wrong, said
Mrs. Livingston.
'True; but | adopted wrong course of
conduct without due consideration Strange
I did not use little more common sense,
and ask myself what Mary would do if
thrown out of employ at such time We
began retrenching in the wrong place
Il observed that Mary looked very down
cast when / informed her that l should need
her no longer. But Lucy Tildon looked
even more sad than Mary.
Lucy Tildon| ?
Yes, the girl who sewed for us
'Ah, remember now-another sad mis-
take, very likely. Do you know where she
lives? We must ascertain if she is suffer
ing
Mrs. Livingston was able to give the
street and number of her residence The
next day Mr.. Livingston made his way
thither. His call was opportune As he
ascended the stairs leading to the humble
apartment of the sewing girl he heard is
suing from the room pointed out to him as
Miss Tildon's, the rough harsh voice of
man and the sobs of female
The story was soon told. Lucy had been
unable to obtain work since she was dis
missed from the employ of Mrs. Living
son, and could not pay the months rent
of her room, and she and her little all were
being driven from it.
Mr.. Livingston hastened to repair the
mischief Of his second retrenchment. The
rent was paid, and Lucy was informed that
there was plenty Of sewing for her at the
house of her old patron.
[ have learned lesson, said Mr.. Liv-
ingston to his wife that evening. Not re-
trenchment, but wise expenditure shall be
my motto this winter. That addition to
my store, which l had given up on account
of hard times, shall be built; / can afford
it we'll enough, and | will seek some wor-
thy mechanic out Of employment and give
him the job. Let those who should, and
those who must, retrench; but let those
who have to spend, spend wisely and we'll
He who boards up his Masters wealth
when he should expend it, may not be less
criminal than he who squanders it. Mr.
Chase was right; I will follow his example
and give employment to as many as possi-
bic this winter, while L do not forget the
suffering who are unable to work.

Come, children, and join in our festival song,
And hail the sweet joys which this day brings

Our voice of thanksgiving. our glad jubilee :;
Oh, bless US, and guide us, dear Saviour, we

And if, ere this glad year has drawn to close,
Some lov'd one among us in death shall repose,
Grant, Lord, that the spirit in heaven may
dwell,
In the bosom of Jesus. where all shall be we'll
Kind teachers, we children would thank you

And find a safe refuge in the Saviour's loved,

STATE EDITORIAL CoNvENTIoN.-For
some reason the committee, consisting of
the Madison editors, have changed the
time of meeting to the 5tb of July. We
do not think this change was judicious, as
most editors viii prefer to celebrate "the
Fourth" at home. Arrangements have
been made with the Railroad Companies,
to convey editors over their roads free of
charge. We presume the boats will do
the same. The editors of the st. Croix
valley meet at this place tomorrow Dune
1Oth) to appoint delegate to represent
them in the State Convention. The Hud
son North Star says: awe propose
sending the man that's got the good cloth
es." Perhaps the Star man has lew
suit and would shine in the State Con-
vention. Under this rule we have no fear
of being sent ourselves. The State Jour-
nal suggests that the convention be held
on the 9Th so as to accommodate those
who may wish to celebrate "the Fourth"
at home.

PRorASIrY.-Therei is no habit more
utterly foolish, uncalled for, and unrea-
sonable than profanity. 1t seems strange
that so many young men fall into tins
habit A short time since we were sitting
in our Office and our attention was attrac-
ted to number of young men below.
One of them continually filled his CONVEX
sation with such expressions as " Good
God,"" Heavenly Father" ''Holy Jesus,
and the like. He did not mean to offend
any one, did not seem to think that he
was not only breaking the divine COM
inand, but also the laws of politeness, and
chat BY using such language, he forfeited
his claim to the rank of a gentleman.
No It was only habit. We do not wish
to argue this subject on the high grounds
of morality, but wonld remind our young
friends that profane language is distaste-
full and offensive to the better portion of
every community, and they should be
careful how they contract habit, which
gives pain to others, and is therefore a
breach of the laws of poiteness and good
behavior.

~ We hear some people grumbling
about the rainy weather. Instead of
grunbling we ought to be thankful that
we have had so little rain, while many
parts of the country have been almost del
uged. In southern New York and nor
thern Pennsylvania for more than a month
past it has rained regularly every day.
At last dates the farmers had not planted
their corn. The Valparaiso (Ind) Repub
iean says: 1--WE have had rain at least
one day out of three for the last month.
How much longer it may continue we are
unable to predict"

THE NEW S. G.. SENAToR.-The va
cancy in the U. S. Senate, caused by the
death of Mr.. Evans, of South Carolina,
has been filled by the appointment Of Mr.
Hayne. He is a brother of Gen. Hayne
famous for his speech on the notification
question in 1892. Unlike his brother, he
is a conservative man, that is, one who
does not believe in dissolviug the Union,
even if the South cannot always have her
own way on the slavery qNestion. The
appointment of such man instead of a
s'fire eater" shows that the Governor is
conservative in his principles.
