As the time approaches for the open
ing of the coming political campaign.
the question which heads This article is
very frequently discussed, not only n
the public journals, and among pol :
clans, but by the people also; and this is
especially tue of this Congressional
District, where so many of different
views of the question are entertained,
and where the selection of a candidate
for Congressional honors is already be-
ing somewhat extensively agitated. The
-districting of the State by the last
Legislature has left the district without
district organization in fact that por-
ton of the district which formerly con-
stitutued part of the old fifth, has
been without such organization, since
the time whereof the memory of man
scarcely runneth to the contrary But,
in the old district, the mode of nominal
ing had become fixture and needed no
organization to put it into operation.
But it is not so with the new district, for
the different counties composing it en-
tertain very widely different views of
the subject. if we are to judge from
their former practices. Hence the ne
cessity Of an organization.
There need be no trouble about this
question, for it is one of easy solution,
and upon strictly Republican and popu-
lar principles. Each county should be
allowed to exercise their propor,ionate
power in their own way Therefore we
would suggest that, as there will early
in January be mass meetings in each
county to appoint delegates to the Stat.
Convention. and to reorganize count,
and township committees, at these mas
meetings. Each county should appoin
a Congressional district committeeman
The committee should as soon there
after as practicable meet at some centre

The Golden Rule.

"Uncle Joseph, Uncle Joseph, please
tell us what makes every one like you so
well?"
This was asked by some half dozen
bright eyed, eager r-looking little fellows
who clustered around white haired old
man, with very pleasant face. Indeed
Father Time had left his marks there
deep and strong but it was very true
and clear letter of praise, that those who
ran might read.
Uncle Joseph answered, "Why. boys
what has come over you to ask me such
question as that?''
One little boy answered, "Well uncle,
I'll tell you. We were talking with
father about you, and asked him what
made everybody like you 80 well; and
he told us to come to you; he thought
you would tell us the secret Now
please do"
Then the old man said
"Well, boys, this is the secret: have
always tried to do by others as l would
wish others to do by me. This is good
rule and very easy to understand, and
those who practice it cannot be very far
out Of theaway. was always a quiet,
thoughtful boy, and perhaps for that
reason was more inclined to think Of
others than some of these wide awake
little fellows are.
''But look here, boys, you come and
sit with me under the shade of this
beautiful elm tree, and will tell ou
what happened to me when I was quite
a young man, which think has made a
life long impression upon me.
"Well, to begin, as the story -tellers
say, when was young man l lived
far away from here, in hilly country,
and very near where lived there was
what is called mountain gorge, which
was some ten feet wide. Now to get on
the opposite side one must travel some
four or five miles; SO the neighbors con-
cluded to have a bridge built, and each
one that crossed pay toll, and in that
way to pay for the bridge and keep it in
repair. AS I lived nearer to the bridge
than any one else, they voted that
should be toll gatherer. This was not
very arduous task, as there was not a
great deal Of travel in that region, and
very seldom any one wished to cross
the bridge after ten o'clock at night |
o, must not forget to tell you there
was gate at one end Of the bridge
which was kept locked at night, and no
one could cross without they came and
reused me up; but always kept light

his hired man from day to day. Nc
particular pains are taken to give him
instruction in farming, farther than 9
knowledge Of the use of farming imple
ments. The names of the tools, the
time for sowing grains and seeds, the
time for harvesting-these become fam.
iliarized to his mind by observation. and
they often embrace the entire farming
education He is not taught in the use
of chemistry, entomology, botany, or in
any of the other sciences, as part of the
preparation to his farm life. On the
contrary, his observation teaches him
that his father farms independently of
books or scientific knowledge; that his
father regards experience as the only
teacher, and that he looks upon educat-
ed labor, book farming, as it is some
times called, as series of laundering,
by men whose minds are incapable of a
practical business training. OF course,
here in New England, no one fails to ap-
preciate common school education as
preliminary to all the labors Of life. A
farmer must buy and sell 50 that o
knowledge Of arithmetic will be decid
edly useful; he must write, because he
will keep accounts and dates but beyond
these simple rudiments, it is not easily
seen how a large amount of learning can
be made practically useful.
"The farmer must study and be edu-
Gated in his business and if it is to raise
cattle or produce wool, or rear horses,
he must use all the helps which the
knowledge of the world has treasured
for him. No man can afford to depend
entirely upon his own experience. If
by trying twenty processes, some neigh
Dor has failed in nineteen, and secured
result by the twentieth, let US adopt
the twentieth and go forward. Knowl-
edge is power to the farmer when he
uses it; never otherwise.
"The first thing that we have to do,
then, is to make farmers believe that
education can benefit them profession
ally that a knowledge of anatomy and
will enable them to under
stand more fully the laws of breeding;
and will materially aid them in develop
ing and producing better animals,-
animals from the production Of which
they can realize more money with the
same labor: to make farmers believe that
the knowledge of the cause is indispen-
sable to the production of q certain re-

"One day we had heavy pouring
rain all day, and as night came on, in
stead of stopping, it seemed to increase
| in violence. The wind blew hard, and
thought to myself-This is, indeed, q
fearful night; but it isn't probable there
will be any travellers out to night; how
ever, put my light in the window and
went to bed about ten O'clock. cannot
say how long had slept, when was
aroused by heavy knocking at the door.
1 got up and opened it as soon as pos
sible. There stood man who seemed
to be completely drenched with rain.
I asked him to come in, but he said,
w Young man, am sorry to trouble you,
but am very anxious to cross the
bridge to night, and would like to have
you open the gate for me- I tried to
persuade him to come in and stop till
morning but he said he could not think
of it, as he had child on the other side
who was very sick, and he felt that he
must go. So took a lantern and the
key, and went out to let him across;
but when we got where The bridge had
been, we found it was blown away.
Then the stranger gazed in astenish-
ment, and exclaimed, What shall do

few rods above here where 1 have
often waded across in pleasant weather.
If you will get upon my back and trust
yourself with me, can get you across
safely He said, Willingly, willingly,
young man, if yon are disposed to
undertake it. SO 1 took him upon my
back; but as the water was quite deep,
l had to use great deal of caution and
care; but at last got him safely upon
the opposite bank. When I put him
down he offered me we'll filled purse
l thanked him and said / wished for
nothing but the regular fee. AS spoke

light seemed to surround his head as he
repeated these words-sInasmauch as ye
hcve done 1t unto one ofMe least of these
my brethren, ye hare done a.unto me, and
he was gone.
''How 1 got back and into my bed
again I have no recollection. In the
morning when I got up my light was
burning in the window as usual. The
rain had ceased, and 1 looked out to
view the ruin caused by the late storm,

bridge, apparently as strong and defiant
as ever. Then I knew my labor of love

Wasteful Cultuso.

The small farmer system has been the
making of the North. But of late years
our western States, such as Minnesota
and California, has offered cheap land,
which have been found peculiarly adapt
ed to the growth of wheat. Consequent
ly, every effort has been made, and laud-
ably too, to extend and enlarge our an
nual wheat productions until it is as
suming superb proportions. But haste
makes waste, and we find in the last
monthly report of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture . statement
that the present system of wheat culture
in the northwest is a ruinous one. The
desire to expand the present production
is impoverishing the soil. Hasty plow
ing,- irregular sowing. and imperfect
drilling. give weeds ~ good chance a.
