liberaIity In FARMING.

In this art and almost in this art alone,
sit is the liberal hand which maketh rich. .
Iiberaity in providing utensils is the
saving both Of time and labor. The more
perfect his instruments, the more profit
able are they
SO also is il in his working cattle and
his stock. The most perfect in their
kinds are ever the most profitable.
Liberality in good barns and warm shell
ters is the source Of health, strength and
comfort TO animals, causes them to thrive
on less food, and secures from damage all
sorts Of crops.
Libera!i'y also in the provisions of food
for domestic animals. is the source Of
flesh, muscle aud manure.
Liberali,y TO the earth in seed culture
and compost, is the source of its profit.
Thus it is in agriculture, as in every
part Of creation; wise and paternal Prov
idencc has inseparably connected our duty
and happiness.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS.

The beautiful spot where the festival
was held has local memories, past and
present, Of suggestive historic interest.
The large landed estate, consisting Of
twelve hundred acres, known by this name,
was the property OF Washington, who be-
queathcd il TO his foster-son, George Wash
ington Custis. whose daughter is the wife
Of General Robert T. Lee, the chief Of
the rebel army during the civil war. His
treason forfeited it to the Government, and
it became, by an order Of the Secretary Of
War, Hon. Edwin NJ. Stanton, the home
Of the freedmen. 1t was for forty years
before the rebellion the seat Of social, in-
tellectual, and political attractions to emi-
nent public men of the country, especially
those from the Southern States, who par
ticipated frequently in its elegant hospi-
talities. The mansion over which now
waves the flag Of the nation contained
