How A FARMER MAY LOOSE MONEY
BY not taking one or more good papers.
Keeping no account of farm operations ::
paying no attention to the maxim. "A
stitch in time saves nine" In regard to
the sowing of grain aud planting of seed
ut the proper time. Efls
Leaving reapcrs, plows, cultivators; etc.,
unsheltered from the rain and heat Of the
sun. More money is lost in this way annu-
ally than most persons would DO willing
to. believe.
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are ir-
reparable. BY repairing broken imple-
ments at the proper time, many dollars
may be saved-a proof of the assertion
that time is money.
Attending auction sales and purchasing
all kinds of trumpery, because in the words
of the vender, the articles are very cheap.
Allowing fences to remain nnrcpaired nm
meadow, grain field, or bruising the fruit
trees.
Disbelieving the principle of q rotation
of crops, before making single expert
lnent, go <ss 4 Esg
Planting fruit trees with the expectation
of having fruit, without giving the trees
proper care. TENi
Practicing economy by depriving stock
of shelter during winter and feeding them
nnsOund food, such as half rotten and
moHldy hay or fodder - -
Keeping an innumerable tribe of rats on
the premises and two or three big lazy
dogs who never modest the vcrmin
Spending rainy days in groceries and
bar rooms, instead of being at home put
ting to rights when You have leisure.

1t Is settled, of course, that Massachu.
sets is the nearest approach yet made on
earth to st. Augustine's "City of God,'
that of all the communities ever founded
among men it is the wisest, virtuest,
best"
Also, we understand, it is settled that
Paris is, fall cities ever built since the
destruction of the cities of the plain, the
wickedest, the most wanton, and the
worst. These two points being conceded,
it seems to US that very curious interest
attaches to the following statistics:

OF General sickles Grant speaks as fol-
lows: know nothing personally of the
solderly abilities of General Sickles,
though have always thought that he new
er had a fair chance to develop himself
He rose rapidly during the early part Of the
war-so rapidly as to excite the jealousy
of his brother officers. He incurred Gene
raj Meade's hostility at Charlottesville,
and ever after suffered lin consequence.
He is man of fine executive talent. His
administration in the Caroiinas was entire
" acceptable to me, as it was certainly
emineptly successful. AS politician he
should be ranked among the first. He did
the Republican cause great service in the
last campaign, and deserves as much as
any other man at the hands of his party.
FIGHTING BEN wADE-No CABINET OFF,
CEs VACANT 81 RB#ff
Old Ben Wade is evidently one of Grants
favorites in o certain sense. He speaks OF
him in this manner; Ben Wade shows, to
best advantage in mnorities. He does not
know how to avail himself of the fruits of
victory. He is reliable old fellow who
fights bravely for and under his own col
ors, and can't bear peace. He has chron-
ie dislike for West Point and West Point
ers. He did tell me that West Point was
nest Of treason, and could not help re-
torting that D much larger proportion of
the men who had learned loyalty at West
Point remained true to the flag than of
those who had learned it in the halls of
Congress. The public seem to think it II
settled matter that Wade will have q
place in my Cabinet, because he was I'M
successful in his aspirations for Senatorial
reelection. I}cannot appreciate the logic
by which the Reputation of a man by his
State peculiarly fits him for a counsellor
to the Executive of the nation. I have

spicy and Good Nntured.

A gentleman having applied for admission
to the Sorosis Of New York, received the fol-
lowing good one" in response:
DEAR SIR: Your proposition to become a
member of Sorosis was laid before the execu-
tive committee, and subsequently before the
club. regret to say the decision was not in
your favor. The reasons, it is only fair to
state, were not those OF character, position or
personal merit but consisted solely of society
restrictions as to sex. Personally you have
been found very agreeable by several mem
bcrs of Sorosis. Reputation and position are
alike unexceptional; but the unfortunate fact
OF your being man Outweighs these and all
other claims to membership. We willingly
admit, of course, that the accident Of your sex
is on your part misfortune, and not a fault.
Nor do we wish to arrogate anything to our
selves because we had the goood fortune ODE
born women. We sympathize most truly and
heartily with you and the entire male crea-
ton in their present and prospective desola-
tion and unhappiness; but this is all we can
do. Sorosis Is too young for the society of
gentlemen, and must be allowed time to grow.
BY and by, when it has reached proper age,
say twenty-one, it may ally itself with the
Press club, or some other male organization
Of good character and standing; but for years
to come its reply to all male suitors must be,

Decoration Hymn.

Dedicated to the Grand Army ofthe Republic.
BY SAMUEL BURNHAM.
They rest from the conflict, their labor is ended,
Their battles are fought and their victories gained
Their spirits heroic to God have assembled,
Their memory is lett us with honor sustained.
Beneath the green sod their bodies are sleeping
Above them In beauty the dcwy grass waves
While comrades this day are sacredly keeping,
Aud strewing with flowers their glorious graves.
We knew that our flowers will wther and perish,
Our flags, too, will droop in The still summer air;
But deep In our hearts their memory we'll CHERISH
With love that the passing years meier will impair
Tous is the weeping while theirs is the glory;
From danger and duty they ne'er turned aside;
Heroic their deeds and immortal their story,-
They fought for their country, and conquerhg uied
No longer they listen to the tramp OF the legions
that steadily marched TO the fields OF the DEAD,
From East and from West, ana from lar dlstant re-
nesistiess in numbeIs s and firm in their tread.
No angel of death DER the battle field bending,
With skeleton finger is pointing his prey;
tiur God heard the prayers of a nation ascending,
And turned our dark midnight of horror TO DAY.
o God Of orr fathers, the God of our nation,
Their faith was unwavering, their trust was Ill 1lee
Thou gayest them the victory, am 10 US gave sa'a
And smiled once again on the home OF the free.
Yes. honor and glory for them eternal,
THE nation they ransomed their memory will keep;
Fame's flowers immortal will bloom ever vernal
Ger the graves where our heroes in glory now Sleep

The mamme.h Cave Of Nevada.

We have arrival of Kentucky's great natur-
al wonder, the Mammoth Cave of Nevada.
This cave is situated in a spur of the Buck
skin or White Mountain Range, and about
twenty miles this side of Patterson, CT fifty
miles from Treasure City. The entrance is
on the south side of an isolated butte, or
hidcdcho. and ne rits base. The opening is
so low that man must stoop to enter it, brt
twenty feet in the vault in the limestone it
widens rapidly. Turning toward the east,
and you pass through chamber alter chalhDeI

They saw many chambers in which immense
tongues of limestone hung from the root, in
places almost touching the floor, and in 9TH
erS stalactites and stalagmites abounded, as
in the Mammoth Cave OF Kentucky. They
found traces of burnt sage brush, showing
that the Indians had been there as far as they
went; and the guieess sons OF the soil told
them that they had penetrated five days
journey into the cavern, found lake full of
fish, and yet saw 10 end to the succession of
lofty chambers stretching out before them.

The Swedes are, as people, as little given
to other vices as in any country of Europe,
perhaps might say, in the world The sta
tistical tables show that many, very many
children are born into the world whose pa
rents are not lawfully married, and it is there
lore set down to the discredit of Sweden and
Norway, that they are very lax in their So
cial morals. There is, however, to be said on
this delicate or indelicate subject-the law
iorbids the marriage of any parties who have
wish to become communicates in the church,
who are quite willing 10 be married. But the
church will not sanction their union, and
they live togather in the marital relation, true
TO each other, but without the blessing OF the
church. Their children are returned in the
census to the discredit of the morals of Swe-
denl Here is an interesting point for moral
lists to study. The practice is wrong, and so
is the law that has made the practice so COM
mon.

had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was SO much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing aud loss of sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or palatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi.

procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
1ect immediate and surprising. AS the convulsions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-

quent and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and

trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invgora ator an invaluable romedy for

to be equally successful. 1t needs only be known
