Honorable"

The Jour@al of Commerce is glad to see
that the Clltsd States Senate has taken
the first step towards blotting out the alb
surd and superhuous title, honorable"
from the peoples vocabulary. The editor
says .a3 A--
In this land of democracy, the only de-
feasible use to titles is to assist in determ-
ing mans identity Governor, general,
Judge, reverend, doctor and the like may
properly be employed in describing a per-
son, because they materially assist in form
ing an idea of him, But honorable" means
nothing. 1t is as common and empty as
''esquire" that zero mark which every
school boy bitches on to himself, and the
force of comparison can no futher go. The
inDumerabIe- host who claim to wear the IL
tie honorable" by virtue of their member
ship of common council or legislature,
of the occupancy of some public office given
to them because other people would not
take it, contains 30 large 9 proportion Of
very bad men that it is coming to be CON
sidered badge of disgrace to have it tack
ed to ones name. Let every man who
prides himself on his respectable position i'll
private ssciety, look over the long list OF
"honorables," which adorn the call for
some ward meeting, aud SEQ if he woul d
like to be catalogued with them. The &C
ton of the senate shows that they are con-
scious Of the degradation which the title has
undergone and are DESTROYS of elevatipg
themselves by getting rid of it. Let some
member of our legislature make a similar
move

LAND OCCUPIED BY FENCES. The mat
erials and labor required to build and keep
fences in repair are among the heaviest it
ems, of farm expense The cost of the land
upon which they stand is another item, on
which j. Harris Of Rochester, discourses as
follows in the Ameriean Agrdcalturjst:
Chow much land does an old-fashioned
fence occupy? have always thought it
took up good deal of land, but never had
the curiosity to measure. But this summer
we have been building stone wall along
the whole west side of the farm, and after
it was completed, and the old fence removed
l was surprised at the quantity Of land we
had gained. The ground, of course might
have been ploughed closer to the fence, but
taking the case as it actually was the old
rail fence, with stones, weeds, rubbish &c,
occupied strip of land one rod wide. A
field, thirty one rods long and thirty-one
rods wide, contains about six acres. II sur
founded by such fence, it would occupy q
little over three quarters of an acre of land.
A farm of one hundred and sixty acres 80
fenced would have twenty acres Of land
taken up in this worse than useless manner
Not only is the use of the land lost, but it
IL, in the majority Of cases, nursery of
weeds, and in blowing much time is lost in
turning, and the headlanGs and corners are
seldom properly cultivated =

The VALUE OF ScKAp BooK.-Every one
who takes a newspaper which he in the
least degree appreciates will often regret to
see any one number thrown aside for waste
paper which contains some interesting and
Important articles A good way to preserve
these Is by the use of scrap book One
who has never been accustomed thus to pre-
serve short articles can hardly estimate the
pleasureit affords to sit down and turn
over the pleasant, familiar pages Here a
choice piece OF poetry meets the eye, which
you remember you were 80 glad to see in
the paper, but which you would have long
since lost had it not been for your scrap
book. There is a witty anecdote--it does
you good to laugh over 1t yet, though for
the twentieth time. Next ia a valuable re-
ceipt you had almost forgotten, and which
you found just in Tins to save much per-
plexity. There is sweet little story the
memory of which has cheered and encour-
aged you many time, when almost ready
to despair under the pressure of lifes cares
and trials. Indeed you can hardly take up
u single paper without perasing. just
glance over the sheet before you. and see
how many valuable items it con tains that
would be of service to you a hundred times

Twas determined not to admitfor keep girls

to interfere, when she concluded to take her
destiny into her own hands, she chen being
only thirteen years of age, and one rainy
night in February, after recei wing a severe

A correspondent gives the following de-
scriptiono of the musical part of the service
in a church near Carlisle, England:
''When the psalm is given out, the cIer-
gyman tunes small violin, and having af-
forwards touched bass fiddle, hands the
larger instrument over to one of the parish.
toner's. Each Of them draws his bow across
the strings, and all being in order, the
player of the bass gives out the words to
be sung, the two musicians are joined by a
few Pensioners, and the small party go
through the psalm. The clergyman then
abandons the violin, returns to the reading
desk, until another psalm requires him to
resume his instrument and again goes
through the tuning process preparatory to
the psalm singing"
