Every farmer should keep regular set Of
accounts in which all his receipts and his dis
bursments should be carefully entered, and a
balance struck once year. Some keep an
account for every field on the farm, in which
the outlay for manuring and tilling the soil,
and sowing and harvesting the crops is record
ed, and can be referred to at pleasure. Reg
ularity in keeping accounts indicates regular
ity in the operations on the farm, and fayors
the adoption Of an improved system in every
thing. The time of sowing seed should always
be noted down, and when fruit trees are plant
ed, the date of planting, varieties of trees,
etc, should be recorded, so that these partic-
uars can be ascertained at any time.

Alone ON the highway Of life;
You u meet with thousand temptations
Each city with evil is rife
This world is stage of excitement,
There's danger wherever YOU %
Bat IL you are tempted in weakness.

The billiard saloons are inviting.
Deckcd out in their tinsel and show
You may be invited 10 enter.
Have courage, my boy, to say no.

No matter how tempting il be,
From poison that stings like an adder,
My boy, have the courage To flee
The gambling halls are before YOU.

Think twice, even thrice, ere You 90.

Affairs in Virginia.

GENERAL scHoFIELD ADDRESSES ThH 'HH'A'H
covvrvT1oy--HE OBJECTS TO TIE TEST OATH.
R1oH,oND. April 17.-General Scoheld Vlslted
and addressed the Convention thus morning.
He said the iron-clad oath Of Office in the con-
stitntion was extremely Objectionable. be had
administered the Reconstruction laws IN tne
State for more thai year, and tne resua' u
his experience was that it would be practlcany
inpossible TO carry Cd the government OF Vir-
ginia on such basis. In appointing registry
officers he said he had found one, perhaps TWO
cspable persons in the county who could take
the oath; and yet there we're thirty-hEe civil
Offices to be filled in that county. In MS
opinion the oath would be fatal to the constl-
tuition. In other respects the constitution was
neither better ncr worse than those OF other
States. Much, however, depended on the men
first elected to carry it out, and that oath re-
stricted the range necessary for the selectlon
of the best men. As party measure 1t woulo
be fatal.
Great applause followed the address, and
after General Schofeld left the hall heateo
debate commenced in an effort to reconsider
the vote adopting the oath.
LArER.-In the Convention, MIR. Hlne ez-
planned that under the new constitution there
are only seven officers in county who have to
take the oath. The Convention refused, BY
vote of twenty-siz to thirty-two, to suspend the
rules for the purpose of considering modifi-
cation of the oath. 1t will adjourn SINE die
about midnight.

TRADE MATTERS IN New YoRK.-The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger, writing on the 18th inst, says:
General trade is slow. The feverish condi-
stion Of the monev market, the exciting rumors
that are constantly set atloat by panic-mongers,
and the nneasiness which exists, more or less,
as to the political future, ell have damaging
influence.
The dry goods dealers say the transactions
for the past week have been on very limited
scale, compared with the early part Of the sea-
son. This, as regards domestics. Prints are
active, the sales large and prices firm, not
withstandins sales are making at Chicago at
one cent per yard under New York quotations.
Woolens too, are brisk, and prices are looking
up. Foreign goods are quiet. The market is
well stocked, and prices generally are without
variation.
Boots and shoes are active, with some heavy
orders coming in from the South. The hard.
ware dealers are little buster than they were,
still the business, thus far this season, has
been far from satisfactory.
