cious. He never drinks intoxicating liquors o
any sort, not even a glass of wine. He is no
addicted to tobacco in any of its shapes. hi
never was accused of licentious act in al
his life. He never uses profane language. Fl,
never CANDLES; we doubt if he ever indulge
in any game Of chance. He is particular,
cautious about incurring pecuniary obligations
for any purpose whatever ; and in debt he il
never content until the score is discharged
| We presume he owea no man dollar. He
never speculates. The rage for the sudden &C
QUESTION of wealth never took hold Of him.
His gains from his profession have been mod
crate, but sufficient for his purpose. While
others have dreamed Of gold. be has been in
pursuit of knowledge. In ell his dealings he
has the reputation of being generous but ex-
act, and above all religieusy honest. He
would be bold man who would say that
Abraham Lincoln ever wronged any one out
of q cent, or ever spent dollar that be had
not honestly earned. His struggles In early
life have made him careful of money. but his
generosity with his own is proverbial. He is

er and liberal supporter of the Presbyterian
Church in Springfield, to which Mrs. Lincoln
belongs. He is o scrupulous teller of truth
too exact in bis notions to suit the atmosphere
of Washington as it now is. His enemies
may say that be tells Black Republican lies /;
but no men ever charged that, in his profes-
sional capacity, or as a citizen dealing with
bis Deighbors, he would depart from the Scrip
tural command. At home he lives like q gen.
tleDau of modest means and sif;f5le faates-
A good sized house Of wood, simply but tast.-
fully furnished, surrounded by trees aud flow
ers, is his own, and there he lives. at peace
with himself, the idol Of bis family, and for
his honesty, ability, and patriotism, the admir-
alton of his courtrymen.
If Mr.. 1ihcoln is elected President he will
carry but little that is ornamental to the
White House. The country must accept his
sincerity; biz abitity5 and his honesty in the
mold in which they are cast. He will not be
able to make as polite bow as Frank Pierce
did, but he will not commence anew tie agi-
tation of the Slavery question by recommend
ing TO Congress any Kansas Nebraska bills.
He may not preside at the Presidential din
ner with the ease and grace which distinguish
es the venerable fdneticnary," Mr.. Buchan-
an but he will not create the necessity for
Covode Committee and the disgraceful reve-
lations of Cornelius Wendell. He will take
to the Presidential chsir Just the qualities
which the country now demands to save it
from impending destruction-abiiity that no
man can question, 6rmness that nothing csr
overbear, honesty that has never been i'm
peached, ard patriotism that never impars.

GREAT MEN.

A great man is willing 10 be little. Whilst
he sits on the cussion OF advantage. he goes to
sleep. When he is pushed. tormented and de-
feated, he has chance to learn something; he
hes been put on his wits, on his manhood he
has gained facts learns his ignorance, is cured
OF the insanity of conceit has got moderation
and skill. The wise always throws himself on
The side of his assailants 1t is more to his in
terest than theirs, to find his weak point. The
wound cicatrizes and falls off from him like q
dead skin. and when they would triumph, 10 he
has passed on invulnerable. As long rs all
that is said is against me, feel certain assur-
ance of success. But as honeyed words of
praise are spoken for me, 1 feel as one that lies
unprotected before his enemies-Emerson.

During the past eighteen years, we have an
nualy grown more or less of nearly every
plant, both grain ard root, as food for our
horses and COWS. Three years we have tested
the Chinese sugar canes and from our expert
ence, award to it the highest honors as valu-
able crop to SOW broadcast, and harvest as hay
fodder for our cows. We have grown it in
drills and broadcast; and unless the ground is
very light and clean of weeds, we recommend
drilling; but If the ground be well prepared
so that weeds will not grow too rapidly and
choke the canes when small, then broadcast

Sweet Potatoes.

The Michigan Farmer recommends d more

matter Of DO inconsiderable moment to the
farmer. When properly attended to, under
favorable conditions of weather, harvesting
&C., this crop is one of the most profitable
items in agricultural economy: We kept the

devoted last year to the sweet potatoj and af

we set down the net profit $40 as the return

Clam MillinR.

II is sometimes forgotten that The last gill ct
milk drawn from o cows Hdder, Is the best
part of every milking. Careful experiments
made in England show according to report
lately publishcd) that the quantity Of cream
obtained from the last drawn cup from most
COWS, exceeds that Of the 6rst 10 the propor-
tiou Of twelve to one" The difference IN the
quality also is considerable. Hence. . person
who carelessly leaves hut half pint Of milk

beginning; and loses, too. that part Of ths

Feeding Fowls.

Fowls may not be fed on any kind Of food
nor any kind of grain. The better the grain
says an experienced poulterer, the better and
the more healthy are the fowls. Besides, like
all other animals they take variety of grain
Indian corn, though the best when fed alone
is apt to make the flesh of all fowls fed upon
it very full of fat, and does not answer so well
as when wheat, oats, or barley are added to
the mess. A Swiss writer on poultry states
first, that fowls to which portion of chalk is
given with their food, lay eggs the shells oI
which are remarkable for their whitenees.

Experiments prove the vast superiority oi
