-Four Impossible Things.

First, to escape trouble by run
ming away from duty. Jonah once
made the experiment, but he soon
found himself where all his imitators
will, in the end, find themselves.
Therefore, manfully meet and over
come the difficulties and trials to
which the post assigned you by
Gods providence exposes you.
Second, to become christian of
strength and maturity without un-
dergoing severe trials. What fire
is to gold, that is affection to the be
liever. 1t burns up the dross and
makes the gold shine forth with un-
alloyed luster.
Third, to form an independent
character, except when thrown upon
their own resources. The oak in
the middle Of the forest, if surroun-
ded on every side by trees that shell
ter and shade it, runs up tall and
sickly but away from its protectors
and the first blast will overturn it.
But the SAME tree. growing in the
open field where it is continually
beat upon by the tempest, becomes
its own protector. So the man who
is compelled to rely on his own re-
sources forms an independence of
character to which he could not
otherwise have attained.
Fourth, to be a growing man when
you look to your post for influence
instead of bringing influence to your
post. Therefore, prefer rather to
climb up Hill with difficulty, than to
down with inglorious ense.

A GRAND OLD POEM.


Who shall judge man from manners
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be Ct for princes,
Princes fit for something less;
Crrmpled shirt and dirty Jacket,
May beelothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thought and feeling
Satin vests could DO no mere.
There are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers You and ne,
While He values thrones the highest
But rs pebble. in the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,
OFT forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men by honor, men By feeling,
iien by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam m-embroidcred oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplinSs,
There are ccdJrs on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to him all famed distinctions
All as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Ola nations wealth or fame;
Titled laZiness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice;
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
. Born with loveiiness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right;
God, whose word heard voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression, with its titles,
AS the pebbles in the sea.

From the Farmers Chronicle.
Early Flowing.
BY COL. G. S. INNS.

Doubtless all systematic and
thinking farmers have, ere this, de-
termined in what fields they will
put each particular crop the coming
season; what old meadows or pas
lures they will break up, and made
their general arrangements for the
summers work.
To tlris class-that is to the read
ing and thinking part-of my broth
er farmers, I would like to say few
words about the advantages of early
plowing. Land plowed early in the
spring will, by the action of frost
or slight freezes, be made mellow !;
and, therefore, much nicer to work
while planting and during the early
tending Of the crop; besides, bring
ing at least ten per cent. better
crops. All those who heard DIR.
Warder's address before the State
A oricultural Convention, remember
what he said about 4 white, brown
headed, crooked worm, which we
usually call ''grub worm," Several
years ago ] had a field, the soil of
which was so full of these pests as
to materially injure corn, and
almost destroy potato crop.
Seeing an article in some agri-
cultural paper, that plowing land in
early spring, so it would freeze
afterwards, would destroy such
worms, I commenced on the Sth
day of March, plowing my land
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-02-06

AS will be seen from the follow
ing extract from the New York
the Democratic Press is not
at all unanimous on the financial
questions. It says: 4so6.
The people of the west are begin
ming to feel the pinch of hard times.
The exchanges from that section
are filed with complaints of the
lack of work to do, and the poor
prices paid for that which is done.
It is passing strange that, with very
few exceptions, they all clamor for
hairs Of the dog that has bitten
them. The cry of the people is for
more irredemable paper money, as
if there were any special virtue in
greenbacks, that would ease them of
their troubles. 1t is specie, not
greenbacks.thatis needed.
Just so long as our business trans
actions are based on currency that
is valueiess the moment it passes
beyond the limits of the United
States, just SO long must the people
expect to suffer. The West should
realize that the depression that now
rests upon it has been felt-is felt
now--in the East; and the shortest,
safest, surest way to recover from
it is to face it courageously, and
strive with all diligence to return
to specie payments, and consequent
prosperity.

Sheridan on the Situation.

Cen Sheridan recently spent sew
eral days visiting his parents at Som
erset, O., and was called on by q
nunper Of his old friends, one Of
whom writes as follows to the Co.
lumbus journal concerning a CON
versation with the General on po-
litical affairs:
The papers report you, General,
as having said that Grant was more
radical than yourself; how do you
make that out? II said so,' re-
turned the General, "and prove it
thus: When I first took command
Of the fifth District, General Grant
sent me an order to allow no man
to sit on ajury who could not take
the iron clad OATH 1 mildly re-
monstrated against this, and wrote
to the General requesting a nod;fi-
cation of the order, SO that all who
might vote might also sit upon a
jury. This he did accordingly, and
it was for this very radical order
and its modification to suit me, that
[ said he was more radical than
myself" The oath referred to re-
quires q man to swear that he never
bore arms against the United States,
or acknowledged allegiance to the
Southern Confederacy, or gave to
the enemies of the United States
aid, comfort or encouragement. 1t
is therefore called the 'siron clad"
But Sheridan found many who
could not take this oath who had
been clothed with the right Of suf-
frage, and to this class he very prop
erly accorded right to set upon q
jury.
''It is your opinion, General, that
Grant did all he could to sustain
you? ?"
'Undoubtedly," was the reply.
'sEverything 1 did was under direct
order from, or under his endorse
ment and approval. TO fall out
with me, therefore, was to fall out
with Grant himself. In few days
YOU will read letter from Gen.
Grant, protesting against my re-
moyal, (not then published) which
will demonstrate to the public what
I say to you"
"Will Grant certainly be can
dilate for President - mot by
his own CHOICE" promptly returned
Sheridan, ''but ifhe accepts the nom
nation, [ believe he will do so from
motives of duty to his friends and
country, in the spirit ofsacrifce and
patrio ism for which he is SO remark
ably distinguished"
"Will the Congressional policy of
reconstruction succeed p Another
Whit at his pipe and his answer was
as ready as an old time statesman.
s'Of course it must succeed. 1t is
too late to go backwards. The ne
gro has been admitted to the ballot
box. All the powers on earth can
not keep it from him now. He has
not only been taught to read but to
vote also. He can unlearn neither
the one nor the other. When he
was mustered into the military SER
vice as soldier, his right to vote
was decreed. In assuming the high
est and most solemn duty of the
citizen-the defence of his country

eleven and a half inches deep, and.
thoroughly digging round stumps
as deep as the plowing. We went
over q forty acre field in this way.
1t is true, however, we had to work
some days with our overcoats and
mittens on but I had my land in
excellent order at planting time; l
raised ninety bushels of shelled
corn per acre, and have never seen
but few worms, and sustained no
damage from them since
A few days subsequent to this, I
had an old meadow I wished to
plant to corn; and there coming a
favorable time in February, plow-
ed twenty acres. The season prov
ed to be prolific in cut worms, or
'naked catapiilars," as DR.. Warder
calls them. Some of my neighbors
waited till April to plow their sod
land. The cut worms almost strip
ped the late plowed fields, while I
did not notice q single stalk of corn
cnt off in my early plowed field.
My theory of which is, that plowing
early disturbs the winter arrange.
ments Of the worms, and the sub.
aeqnent frosts destroy the eggs as
we'll as the worms.
Other advantages are: we take
time by the forelocIs, get our land
ready for planting in good season;
accustom our teams gradually to
their work avoid the almost killing
pressure of them, during the hot
weather of May and June, and have
mellow nice land to- work instead of
Eclods. s55---f -.f,
Some of the disadvantages are:
that on heavy clay soils, should
very wet weather succeed, the land
would be apt to become hard and
need a second ploEing. This would
be the case, however, on such soils
Eplowed any time in the whole year.
Clays, when made very wet, soon
after blowing, will get hard, unless
they are stirred. If we would be
deferred, therefore, on that account
we would never plow them, as hard
, rains come at all seasons of our
year. .se..
I think it is well to try our best,
put in onr crops early and in good
condition, tend well, and nine times
out of ten, we can count on at least
a good crop.
Another consideration is: that
those who tend and manage well,
get from two thirds to three quar-
ters Of a full crop, even in the hard
= est seasons, and then get double the
price for it, while the sloven gets
scarcely enough to keep soul and
body together. Choose, young
farmer, which class you will belong
to.
