Farming is Business.

Too many forget this. There is poetry in farm
ing to be sure if it is rightly managed but there
is no poetry in it if it does not pay-if there
no satisfactory material results. But farming is
business. 1t is dollar and cent transaction to
produce and market crop; from the turning OF
the first furrow to the delivery of the last bushel,
money is involved. Farming should accordingly
be conducted in a business manner. Each item
of expense each moment of time, all expenditure
of labor, should be charged the crops and if the
market price of the product does net cover .his
cost and leave a balance that kind of husbandry
had better be abandoned. Most men acknowl-
edge the force of the above position, but say -
/" Why, we have not the knowledge necessary to
systematic our business, keep book account
with the farm, and do things as we see it is only
profitable to do" Very we'll. Suppose you are
not capable. Grant it. There is something that
can be done. Your children can be so educated
that they shall not follow in your footsteps per
force-be obliged to submit to the yoke your g-
norance imposes upon you. See that they secure
that knowledge, and insist that they put it in
accounts to their keeping. Furnish the girls as
well as the boys with the facilities for acquiring
this knowledge. 1t Is as essential to one as the
other. Let the girls keep the household accounts
Interest them in this. Let them learn the lesson
figures teach when used to designate receipts and
expenses. They will thus learn economy-to
calculate. Do not fear they will become sordid
This process will give greater power to indulge
in poetic fancies and poetic employments. And
they will be really poetic, for they will be based
upon facts,

Our Country.

On primal rocks she wrote her name;
Her towers were reared on holy graves;
The golden seed that bore her came
Swift-winged with prayer DER ocean waves
The forest bowed his solemn crest,
And open flung his sylvan doors
Meek rivers led the appointed guest
To clasp the wide embracing shores;
TIL, fold by fold, the brodered land
To swell her virgin vestments grew,
While sages, strong in heart and hand,
Her virtues fiery girdle drew.
0 exile of the wrath of kings!
0 Pilgrim Ark Of Liberty
The refuge of divnest things,
Their record must abide in theel
Fifst in the glores Of thy front
Let the crowned jewel, Truth, be found;
Thy right hand fling with generous wont,
Loves happy chain to farthest bound
Let Justice, with the faultless scales,
Hold fast the worship of thy sons;
Thy commerce spread her shining sails,
Where no dark tide of rapne ruus
So link thy ways to those of God,
So follow firm the heavenly laws
The stars may greet thee, warriorbrowed,
And storm-sped angels hail thy cause
0 land, the measure of our prayers
Hope of the world in grief and wrong,
Be thine the tribute of the years,
The gift of faith, the crown of song

The Great Naval Fight at the mouth of the
Mississippi

The proportions of the grand naval fight at the
mouth of the Mississippi river, whereby the rebe
defences CT New Orleans were destroyed and thai
great metropolis of the South brought again un
der the Federal authority, swell with every new
report and additional development. There is
nothing lacking to give majesty, as well as pic
turesque effect, and dramatic interest to the spec
tacle of the national feet in the dim hours o.
the dawn, sailing into the very claws of hell >
between powerful forts belcbing shot from nearly
two hundred guns, in the face of chains and sunk
en- distractions behind which lay powerful iron
cased fleet, of unknown strength and combining
all the appliances of deferce and capacities of ag
gression devised by modern ingenuity and skill
we say there is nothing wanting to the moral
grandeur and the physical majesty OF the specta-
Gle on which the sun rose at the mouth of the
Mississippi river, on the memorable Oath of April,
1862 What compared with this, was the elab-
crate attack of the Spaniards on Gibraltar, the
fight of Trafalgar, or the treacherous surprise Of
Copenhagen? The fire of Fort Jackson singly
would have sent the Spanish fotilla to the bottom
in half an hour, and Holin's ram alone, which
Com. Porter vainly endeavored to secure as a
monstrous curiosity would have proved more than
a match for Nelson's fleet and that of the French
combined!
With their masts and spars covered with ever
greens, their sides daubed with the slime of the
banks of the river so as to present the least defn-
able mark for the rebel arterists, and with mail
of chain cables estooned over their sides the YES
sells of the National squadron sail boldly past the
volcanic forts-forts on both sides of them, gun
boats, iron-cased batteries and monster rams in
front, while the friendly mortar boats seam the
sky with their shells, which descend on the foe in
fiery storm, such as that which was rained on
the deserted Cities of the Plain, or as if an Htna
had suddenly burst from the bed of the mighty
river of the Southwest, scattering its gouts of
molten lava far and wide.
Twere worth ten years of common life" one
glance al the stern array of the National fleet in
this great and defiant assault on a powerful and
superior enemy. History will exhaust its cautious
rhetoric, and verge on extravaganza, when it
comes to record the exploits of the Yaruna, run
ming, as its commander tells us, into a very "nest'
Of rebel gunboats and 'battorioo, disdoining to
avoid their shock, and delivering its fatal broad
sides with such effect as to send them ablaze and
sinking, helpless drifting hulks to the right and
left, and finally going down herself firing her last
guns even after the water had invaded her decks
defiant, terrible and death-dealing in the very
pang of her dissolution
Painter could not wish subject more compre-
hensive and effective for his pencil, and if the gen.
ius for historical painting he latent in this country,
surely the great naval fight at the mouth of the
Mississippi must inspire and elicit it.

Difficult Question Answered.

Can any one tell why, when Eve was made out
of one of Adams ribs, hired girl was not made
at the same time to wait upon her?
We can, easy Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with hole in his stocking to be
darned, button to be sewed on, or glove to be
mended right away. Because be never read the
newspaper until the sun got down behind the
palm-tree, and then stretched himself, yawning
out, ." amt supper most ready, my dear" Not
he. He made the fire and hung over the tea
kettle himself we'll venture, and pulled the rad
ishes, and did everything be ought to. He MIXED
The cows and ted the chickens, and looked after
the pigs himself. He never brought half dozen
friends to dinner when Eve had nothing in the
larder and asparagus season was over. He never
staid out until eleven O'Clock at ward meeting,
hurrahing for the out-and-out candidate, and then
scolding because poor Eve was sitting up and
crying inside the gates. To be sure, he acted
rather cowardly about apple-gathering time but
that doesn't depreciate his general helpfulness
about the garden. He never played billiards, nor
drove fast horses nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke. He never dned at his club while solitary
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was created especially
for the purpose of waiting on him, and wasn't un-
der the impression that it disgraced a man to
tighten his wfe's cares little That's the reason
that Eve did not need hired girl; and we wish
it was the that none of her fair descendants
did.
HALLECK's SOBRIoUET.-The exact status of
man is often happily expressed in popular sob
riquet. Thus Gen. Taylor was styled "Old
Rough-and-Readyj" Jackson is still called " Old
Hickory" for his indomitable frmness-and now
we are told that Gen. Halleck is known in the
army of the southwest as Old Brains This
familiar epithet expresses the volunteers appre-
citation Of his intellectual power, which has ena-
bed him to conquer Beauregard BY strategy more
than by fighting, and to so direct the vaor of the
Union troops, as to make the exercise of it always
productive of triumphant results. Good for "Old
Brains"

SECRETARY CAMERoN.-The following not i'm
probable story is related of the Secretary of War
A Pennsylvania, now in the army, relates tC
US traditional anecdote of the Secretary of War
which is probably as true as the posthumous sto
ries of the juvenile days of great men generally
are, and we, therefore, put it on record for the
benefit of the future biographer;
1t was the custom aforetime in Pennsylvania fol
mothers to place an apple, silver dollar and {
Bible before their children, as soon as they wert
able to toddle about, and with a mothers interes
and satisfaction, watch them take their choice.
was considered indicative of their more matureC
predictions. In accordance with this custom
the mother of the infantiIe Simon, as soon as h'
was able to stand on his pins, produced the arti
cles and set them before the child, hoping in be
heart he would select the Bible But not so witt
Simon. The future Secretary of War took
somewhat deliberate view with less reverence thai
King Alfred, mounted the Holy Writ, pocketet
the dollar and commenced munching the apple
1t is needless to add thathe has been at the bust
ness ever since.

Probable Extension of the Time
Fixed for Drafting.

A special dispatch in the New York Her
aid, dated Washington, 9th instant. says
The impetus given to volunteering, under the
influence of the order for drafting three hun
dred thousand additional soldiers, is remark
able No doubt now exists that the call for
three hundred thousand volunteers will be
met without resort to drafting any portion
of them. Under these circumstances it is not
improbable time fixed for drafting the re-
mainder Of that call will be extended few
days, perhaps to September l, in order to
complete tho organization of regiments be-
gun under the cali, and fill them exclusively
with volunteers. The spirit Of volunteering
manifested during the last few days has made
it n subject Of serious consideration whether
the order for the draft of three hundred thou
sand should not be modified so as to admit
volunteers Instead, except where draft shall
be found indispensable. Already the Gov
errors OF ZONE Of the States have requested
to be allowed to ill their quota with voun-
teers within given time. and to order a
draft only in such localities as may be back
ward in filling their quota. The arrange
mcnt will probably be made.

effort made sooner, wo could have had our
linen ready by this time.
We would hare suggest 10 those who pre-
fer volunteering to being drafted, to come
forward without delay and enroll THEN names
Let it net be said that Ailegany county was

Unless the requisite number be raised in
