Country vs.. City.

The two passions-greed of swift gain
and ambition for easier lives-have sold IN
New England tens of thousands of blessed
homes wrought havoc in the glory and
power of New England character trans
ferred so much of manhood from this
quiet, healtbful, productive, independent
a speculative, spurious, overdone CONNER
cial fever, with its periodical reverse and
calamity. The sweep of men into trade
has overflled and ruined it; into profes-
sions has overcrowded them into manu-
factures has brought about the broad and
general collapse of to-day.
There is nothing to be compared fol
power upon character or population with
this mastery of Gods fields, this lordship
of the plough. Ownership of the soil in
every age and land settles mastery of ra-
ces. If we Yankees go on pulling oul
roots up out of the ground, and the
Germans and English go on as they be.
gin, roofing into the soil. we shall be
speedily outdone. They by virtue ot
lordship of the earth will be lords of all
To work for a farm is better than to work
for day wages.
Come, farmers and farmers boys
don't sell out your farms. Don't KEEP
the big farm for one and send off the
rest with a little pocket money. Split
up the big farms among several boys
let only your surplus boys go to meet the
Just demands of other work. Don't seek
by enormously extended farms to create
deserts about you, to push your neighbor'
afar. We don't want New England O
vast landed proprietors-that is Ireland
We want every hundred acres of New
England to be nursery of New England
boys and girls. The riches and power o
New England is in her men. One grea
farm split in two is blessing two married
into one is curse Little new houses
springing up beside old ones are prophecies
of splendid promise, but cellar hole i

was beginning to congratulate himself upon
its promising appearance. There would be
at least 500 gallons of molasses which at IS
cents gallon would make a handsome profit
But to cut the story short, the chintz went
through the whole piece and ruined it, They
commenced on the east edge and each morn
ing one could mark their progress as far as
he could see the field. They left now and
then a cluster of hills untouched little
oases in the desert waste around. We can
see what beautiful crop we should have had
If they had left it alone. If my neighbors
cattle had got into the field we could have
driven them out and put up the fence so that
they could not have come in again, or, if we
didn't want to bother to put up the fence,
we could kick up fuss with him and per
haps make him take care of them, but
against his chintz bugs we had no protection.
We could only look on in helpless wrath, and
see them destroy the fruit of our labors.
heard it stated that fence made of planed
boards chintz tight, inclined at a sharp angle
would stop their progress, but doubt it
When the cheapest kind of lumber cost $50
per thousand, such a fence would be i'm
practible for the most of us, however effectual
they might be. After all, inasmuch as all
my other crops have done well, conclude
upon sober second thought that ought not
to complain.
We had some extremely hon weather here,
during the month of July. The mercury
has stood as high as ll2- in the shade. 1t
has been above 1862 for weeks in succession

An Old Welsh Custom Revived.

An old Welsh custom has Just been re-
viyed with much success at the little vii
laee Of Waentawr, North Wales. \ man
named Williams. who had become separated
from his wife, married again, and with
his second wife took up his residence in
Nacntawr. at the house of her sister,
This circumstance greatly shocked the
neighbors, and after prosecuting the wo-
man for long time, in the hope Of getting
rid of her. they. a few evenings ago got u
force before the house where she lodged,
demanded that she should be given up to
them 50 that tney might carry her about
the roads Mrs Roberts, her sister, went
to the window and besought them to leave
in peace; but they declared that they
would stay there tor week if necessary,
aud that, if Mrs. Williams did not short
lv come out, they would pull the house
down After little further parley they
began to carry out the latter portion Of
their threat, and, when they had burst
open the lock of the door and broken sew
eral of the windows, Mr. Roberts, who
was lying in bed dangerously i'll, said his
sister-in-law must 90 out. She gave her
self up accordingly, and was placed upon
the ladder IN an upright position, with her
legs apart and thrust between two of the
spaces between the rounds. The ladder
was then hoisted upon the shoulders of
two men, and from ten O'Clock til mid
night, when they brought her home half
dead, the woman was . carried about the
roads" her bearers being relieved by OH
ers of the crowd as they became tired. n
policeman witnessed the proceedings, fol
lowing the procession for two miles, but he
dared not interfere He, however, took
down the names of ten men and two wo-
men whom he recognised in the crowd, and
on being brought up before the magis-
trates they were convicted of assault, and
fined Dos. each, including costs. \ solic
itor appeared on behalf Of the defendants
and pleaded in extenuation of the offense

neighbors, which had been prevalent il

THE OCEAN RIvER-Hot water springs
are common, but there is but one hot-water
ri~or, ond that through the ocean If
it did not run regularly, or if its waters
were to get cold, the green island of Erin
would change its nature even more than
its name, and become Greenland in title
and barren one in fact. In truth, any
change in the course or character of this
warm-water stream would have so terrible
a thermal influence as to utterly defy pre-
diction or remedy result. 1t is therefore
with no little apprehension that thinking
men regard the announcement of the fact
that the current of the Gulf Stream has
nearly doubled its velocity. The occurrence
of this phenomenon so soon after the earth
quake in the Gulf Island, cannot but give
rise to surmise of some connection be-
tween the manifestations. The immediate
result of increased force in the current has
been to augment the dangers of navigation
near the Florida Keys, even steam vessels
finding it difficult to weather points easily
passed previous to the increased velocity OF
the stream. This consequence is OF itself
important, but less alarming than the ap-
prehension of future changes which may
have great bearing on the interest OF all
civilized humanity.

SoJoURNER TRUTH.-This colored wo-
man, now living in Michigan, recently was
the guest of Mr. Goodrich, who is an out
and-out temperate man and noted hater of
tobacco. One morning she was putting away
with a long pipe in her mouth, when her
host approached her, and commenced con-
versation with the following interrogato-
ries:
Aunt SojOurner, do you think you're a
Christian? ?"
Yes, Brudder Goodrich, speck [ am. -
Aunt Sojouner, do you believe in the
Biblc?'
Yes Brudder Goderich, L believe in

Aunt Sojourner, do you know that there
is passage in the Scriptures which declares
that nothing unclean shall inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven ,"
" Yes, Brudder Goodrich, [ have heard
tell of it."
< Aunt Sojourner, do you believe it?'
= Yes, Brudder Goodrich, believe it,
"Well, Aunt Sojourner, you smoke, and
you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven
because there is nothing so unclean as the
breath of a smoker What do you say

Why, Brudder Goodrich, L specks to

Science For Children.

AS interesting as n romance, is an ex
clamation frequently made, which does too
Great honor to romance Truth is not only
often stranger than fiction, but if properly
stated. is seized with greater avidity and de
light by a healthy mind. Prescott, Macaulay,
and Motley have shown that history may be
made as thrillingly entertaining as the best
historic novel atId tho -&bbottS. by their
lives of famous men and women, have
taught many a lesson more wholesome than
can be derived from any Of the nice little i'm
aginarv biographies written for children.
Science has peculiar attractions to wonder
loving youth, and we venture to say that
MANY Of our readers will remember Rollo s
Philosophy as among the most highly priced
and the most frequently read of any books
in their youthful library.
But how to talk to children is an art learn
ed bv few, and an art which perhaps cannot
be learned TO succeed in it, one must have
retaineds very much of the simplicity of a
child. or he will either talk (or write) over
their heads or, in an effort to come down
to their comprehension, will utter nonsense.
Visitors to Sunday-schools are frequently in
vited to make a few remarks, request
which they very often comply with-and we
pity both teachers and children. We have
often smiled at the story of a venerable the
ological professor, who, while addressing a
Sunday-scHooi, haPpeheu " use inc WoIu
..epitome.' Suspecting that he might be
using too big word for their comprehension
he thus translated it into childish vernacular
.sBut perhaps, children, you don't know
what epitome means. Epltome, epitome-
why it is synonymous with synopsis. Very
clear, no doubt, but showing that the pro
fessor was not exactly adapted to the bust
ness of talking to children. This is far bet
ter than efforts in the role of simplicity un-
der which we have groaned through many a
/ half hour.
Jean Mace has the happy faculty Of writ
/ ing for children. His Home FAIRY Tales are
the best things of the kind we have seen
and when he turns his attention to practical
subjects, he is equally successful. Grand
| papa's Arithmetic will convey to a child i
mind better analytic knowledge of the ele
ments of that science than most teacher
could @Ivc TO class OF adults. In giving
instruction in physiology, he is no less hap
by. The Harpers have recently published
/ The History Of a Mouthfut Of Bread and Th
Servants Of the Stomach, two volumes which

inclined. The barons of the Cinque
Ports divided the golden canopy they had
held over the Kings head between them. The
Master of the Horse, in his capacity of
Sergeant of the Silver Scullery, tasted the
Kings meat at the kitchen-dr bar, and
claimed his due all the silver dishes and
plate used at the royal table. Lastly, the
Lord Great Chamberlain enjoyed the special
privilege of bringing his lord and master his
shirt and clothes, and acting as valet upon
coronation morning afterward appearing in
the procession as species of grand-porter,
carrying His Majestys gloves, colf, and linen,
his sword and scabbard. his crown and robes
At the proper time, he helped the King on
with his robes, and served him with water
to wash his hands. His reward was the
bed, bedding, and sleeping-apparel used by
the King the night before, and the basins
and towels used at Westminster.
This may be a good foundation of an her
editary nobility but it strikes us that the
line between it and what the English call
hunkeyism, is very fine.

INSTINCT WITHOUT BRAINs-Long age
itwas ascertained by naturalists that worms
and insects are without brain, and yet they
pursue a course of activity which borders
upon the domain of reason: so we are ac-
customed to say that they act from instinct
which is no explanation at all of the phe-
nomena in the higher orders of organic life
which have their origin in the brain. Ii
that organ is severely injured, so that its
normal functions are no longer performed
consciousness and orderly manifestations Of
its influence are interrupted or suspended

Where for words of Hope they listened, the long

The crisis presses us-face to face it stands
With solemn lips of question, like the sphinx in
Fgvpt's sands!
This d. we fashion Destiny our web of fate we
spin:
gra day, for all hereafter, choose we Holiness or
Even now from starry Gerzim on Ebors cloudy

shame;

prophets came:

In the names of those who for our countrv's free

oh ye people oh my brothers, choose We the

So shall the Freedom lover so joyful on his way
To wed Penobscot's waters to san Francisco's Bay
To make the rugged places smooth, and the

haps the old Jewish costume worn by Re
becca and Rachel may have been a shade bet
ter. but there was the same exposure of neck
and arms, with the additional disadvantage
of robe that showed a leg encased in hid
cons hose and boots, and that refused to
sweep with Greeian amplitude around the
limbs of the fair wearer. Cleopatra, who is
represented as being both dark and stout,
could wear only the robes of wtite or pur-
pie, and tho heavy diadem of strings of
pearls that were allotted as the garb of Fgyp-
tian princesses. How dark and uncomey
must have been the ma aiority of her country
women may be judged from the sensation she
made. The Roman ladies were famed for
their stately carriage and somewhat large,
but noble features e; and when to these charms
they added regularity, delicacy and beautiful
color, no doubt their simple, open. eoquettish
style of dress was very becoming to them
but without the latter qualification, how
gaunt and coarse they must have appeared.
