The Best and Cheapest.

The following pertinent remarks, by cor.
respondent of the Country Gentleman. upon
the subject treated, will appropriately apply
to majority of our California farmers, and
1t would be well for them to pay heed to the
wholesome advice herein contained
" This subject has been written upon so
oftens and people have, through experience,
been so impressed with its truth. that it NAV
seem, to some, useless to say anything more
about it; but. on looking around, we find 80
many who, while acknowledging it. are in
practice so very inconsistent, that | may be
pardoned for broaching it again. While it
Is true that the best is the cheapest to all
persons, In every business, design in these
remarks to touch on those subjects which
particularly concern the farmer.
In travelling over the country, in how
many fields do we notice teams of horses or
yokes OF oxen engaged in blowing or other
work. which on account of inferioritv of
size or condition, or of being slow walkers,
are able to accomplish but a small part of
what strong fast walking pair could do ;
and thus these farmers, instead of being
able to take advantage of the seasons as they
arrive, are delayed in their work, and Sc.
rious losses are often the results. The same
result is true in reference to steers, sheep
hogs, etc., for while it costs no more to keer
a first class animal than poor one. the diff
ference in value at the time of sale, often
decides the question of profit or loss and
in regard 70 cows. it is the same: for while
one COW will yield enough milk to merely
pay the cost of keeping, another that gives
double the amount of the first, will produce
a handsome profit.
So in reference to tools of all kind. Tc
save a small amount in the first cost, tools
are purchased that break upon the first
emergency, often in the midst of harvest,
producing delay and disappointment; and ii
! should also be remembered that men will do
their work better and do more of it with
good implements.
Perhaps this rule is verified more in regard
to the purchase of seeds than in anything
else. Although the ground may have been
prepared in the best manner, and at great
| expense for manure, etc., the sowing of in
ferior seed will cause an almost, if not total
loss. Take, for instance, the article of cab
bage, which, near our large cities, cultiva-
ted in the best manner, and raised from the
best seed, have been yielding from 5000 to
S400 per acre. Now if inferior seed should
he used, then there would be l loss of at
least one half. say $50 per acre. Thus for
the purpose of saving two or three dollars in
the cost of seed, this enormous loss is the re-
suit"

A HARP In HEAvEN.-One of the sweetest
recollections of my girlhood is beautiful

heart was swelled with childish grief

simply replied . Never mind, if you cannot
have piano on earth, you may have harp

my feelings was changed. Earthly things

object of my desire. l felt reproved for nv
repinings against the Providence that had
placed me in an humble home. and from that

NUMBER IA.
TO LYDIA,


Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, five days before he
died, evidently anticipating his speedy DEATH wrote
for his wife the following lines:
In youths bright morn when fife was new
And earth was fresh with dew and flowers,
And love was warm and friendship true,
And hope and happiness were ours,
We started, hand in hand, to thread
The chequered, ehangeful path of life,
And with each other trusting tread
The battle fields of worldly strife.
We ranged in walks obscure, unseen
Ger rugged steep, through vale and glen,
And climbed along the hisides green,
Unmindful of the future shen.
We caught the songs of earliest BIRDS
We culled the loveliest flowers of spring,
We eplighted love in whispering words
And time sped by airy wing.
And as it passed, new joys were found
And life was gladdened by the birth
Of prattling babes, who clustered round
To cheer with smiles our humble hearth.
But of the loved ones God had given,
Two have returned-two sank to rest
In lfe's gay morning called to heaven,
To the bright mansions of the blest
They sleep amidst spring forest glades,
Where flows its streamlets' murmuring waves;
And oft at evenings gentle shades,
VIII weep beside their early graves.
Fate thrust forth before the world
And phantoms whispered earthly fame,
Where hopes proud banner is unfurled,
And happiness too oft a name
Thus lured along, we rode the dark
And foaming tide of public life,
And proudly dared, with splendid bark,
The elements of storm and strife.
But storm and strife, thank Heaven, have passed +;
The night has fed, and morning come
And we, tossed mariners at last
Return once more to hearth and home

The cause of the quarrel between Prussia
and Austria. which threatens an appeal to
the stern a. bitrament of war for settlement
relates to the disposition of the duchies of
Schleswig Holstein. which were won bv the
combined German armies from Denmark
Austria is willing to divide the spoils, to
make the duchies an independent power.
or even to give Prussia the lions share,
including the harbor of Kiel; but Prussia
insists upon annexing both the duchies to her
own dominions. and will make no conces.
sions to either Austria or the the German
Confederation. Should Won Bismarck sue
ceed in this dishonest scheme, it will make
Prussia the master of Germany. and degrade
Austria to the position of third rate pow
er. Should war break out between those
two Powers, it would almost invitably in
volve the rest OF Europe

81 Love YOU,

A tired woman hushiEg to sleep her nest
ling babe. Beauty once made her face ra-
diant, perhaps. but all that beauty is gone
now. The blue eye is dim and faded-the
pale brow covered with lines of care. Per-
haps, with that far off look of hers, she sees
three little graves, green with as MANY sum-
mers. Her home is very humble-all day
she has toiled, and the fainting spirit almost
surrenders to fatigue, the downcast eyes
tremble in tears-she is so weary. And
every nerve tinges when the Z" boys" come
hungry from school, some with weeping and
tale of sorrow that mother must hear.
And after they are hushed with kisses or
chidings, it is time to get supper for seven
hungry mouths, and the accustomed never
ending routine of putting away and cleaning
up, till the worn out creature wonders with
sigh if there really will ever come a rest
to her-an eternal rest.
At last she can seat her weary limbs in
the old corner rocking chair. The babe
whose eyes close ftfully to low lullaby,
lies in his fathers lap. He is plain man,
that good father, with an honest face and a
great heart, that would take in all the care
and sorrow of the household.
The babe sleeps. With a rude gcntleness
he lays it on its mothers bosom, and as the
ruddy fire light plays over her care-worn
features, be looks upon her with eyes sud.
denly grown lustrous and beautiful He
lifts his great hand softly till it rests on her
shoulders. as he saws:
81 love you, dear Mary"
How the Door heart leaps into love, light
and rest. How vanish the cares that trod
upon her very soul. She no more remem-
bers the toilsome washing. She reflects not
now that the pretty babe, with pink-fush-
ed cheek against her breast, has worn her
patience threadbare with its constant tears
and unrest. She forgot that the fire would
smoke. the broth burn, that the children
teased her, that the line broke. and that
every limb in her frame ached with fa-
tgue.
What were those in comparison with the
steadfast love that had burned for eighteen
years in the sunlight of happiness. through
the clouds of despair. when beauty made
her winning, and when her charm of lowell
ness had gone. and the freshness of her
youth departed forever? What cared she
for aught outside her home, though she had
many SORROWS, while such words thrilled her
| whole being?
q love you. dear Mary"
All you long married. repining husbands
who exact every attention and duty-how
much would it cost to make your home thus
beautiful with all its cares? I tell you one
word will loosen great burdens from the
shoulders of the toiling woman you call
wife. Try it. Go home some night, and
look upon her with the eyes of long ago. For
one moment think how great trials she took
into her heart when she married YOU
Then tenderly clasp her hand, and as she
looks with wonder open eyes, say to her in
low and steady voice. not carelessly, nor
| sportively, but earnestly:
- love you."
Trust me. it will be to her and to YOU
both, better than diamonds"

BiSnlark,

The following sketch of Bismark is
translated and condensed from a let
ter written from Berlin to the Cour-
rier Des Etats UTeis::
Otto Edward Leopold de Bismark
was born in 1915, at the Castle of
SchOnhausen, in the province of Mag
deburg. He went to school in Berlin,
and afterwards was student of the
universities both in Gottingen and
Berlin.
In his youth the Count was a gay
student, very popular with his associ-
ates on account of his good humor.
The old men of Gottingen still re-
member this " tall young man who
played them so many practical jokes.
The story of Bismark's boOtmaker
has become famous in the annals of
the university. It is thus related:
Young Bismark having been in
vited to a soiree, where he was to
dance with the prettiest girls in Got
tingen, had ordered a pair of patent
leather boots for the occasion. AS

became more uneasy.

said his comrades. 94

the future Minister.

his boots.sa gd 5ieG
Mansieur," said the tradesman,
" [ am in despair, but [ have so many
orders for the ball Tomorrow"
All, that is it" said the student.
=" Very well-we shall see "
He went out, but at the end of hall
al hour returned, with two of those
enormous dogs which the German
students are accustomed to keep at
the expense of their messes.
Monsieur" said Bismark, you
see these dogs?"
Yes"
Very we'll. swear they will tear
you into five hundred thousand pieces
unless L have my boots by tomorrow

He went out, but from hour to hour
~" Ill u iOA INC purpose, WOulu
stop before the bootmaker's shop and
cry out in lugubrious tones:

The bootmaker had only that night

~ this singular ultimatum. At ten
c cock he closed his shop, and said
% us wife with a sigh.

All of sudden, in the middle of
the night, he hears the barking of the
horrible dogs, and the voice of young
Bismark crying in the street:
" Bootmaker, of my soul thy life is
in dangerl Think of thy familyP
The next day the student had his
patent leather boots, and danced like
