with its success as commercial enter
prise. His special weakness is hogs, how
ever. He considers hogs the best game a
farm produces. He buys the original pig
for dollar and half, and feeds him forty
dollars worth of corn, and then sells him
for about nine dollars This IS the only
crop he ever makes money on. He loses
on the corn and makes seven dollars and a
half on the hog. He does not mind this,
because he never expects to make any
thing on corn, anyways. And any way 1t
turns out, he has the excitement OF rails
ing the hog any how, whether he gets the
worth of him or not. His strawberries
would be a comfortable success if the robins
would eat turnips, but they won't and
hence the difficulty.
One of Mr. Beecher's most harassing
difficulties in his farming operations comes
of the close resemblance of different sorts
Of seeds and plants to each other. Two
years ago, his far-sightedness warned him
that there was going to be great scarcity
of water melons, and therefore he put in
a crop of twenty seven acres of that fruit.
But when they came up they turned out
to be pumpkins, and dead loss was the
consequence. Sometimes portion of his
crop goes into the ground the most prom
ing sweet potatoes, and comes up the in.
fernalist carrots-though l never have
heard him express it just in that way.
When he bought his farm, he found one
egg in every hens nest on the place. He
said that here was just the reason why SO
many farmers failed-they scattered their
forces too much-concentration was the
idea. So he gathered those eggs together
and put them all under one experienced
old hen. The hen roasted over that con-
tract night and day for eleven weeks, UNI
der the anxious personal supervision of
Mr. Beecher himself, but she could not
phase those eggs. Why? Because they
were those infamous porcelain things
which are used by ingenious and fraudu-
liant farmers as "nest eggs"
But perhaps Mr.. Beechers most disas-
trous experience was the time he tried to
raise an immense crop of dried apples
He planted fifteen hundred dollars worth
but never a one of them sprouted. He
has never been able to understand to this
day what was the matter with those mp
ples-Bufal0 Express.

Mr.. Beecher rs u Farmer.
GY MARK TWAIN,

Mr.. Beecher's farm consists of thirty
six acres, and is carried on on strict scien.
tidc principles, He never puts many part
of a crop without consulting his book. He
plows and reaps and digs and sows nc
cording to the hest authorities-and the
authorities cost more than the other farm
ing implements do As soon as the IL
brary is complete, the farm will begin to
be a profitable Investment But book
farming has It's drawbacks Upon one oc-
casiou, when it seemed morally certain
that the hay ought TO be cut, the hay book
could not be tound--aud before Il was
found it was too late and the hay was all
spoiled
Mr.. Beccher raises some Of the finest
crops Of wheat in lac country, but the un
favorable difference between the cost Of
producing il and It's market value after II
Is produced has interttred considerably

Miscellaneous Reading.
LOVE AND AGE.

I PLAYED with you mid cowslips growing,
When | was six and you were four
When parlands weaving, hower-balls throwing,
Were measures soon to please no more
Thro' groves and meads, DER grass and heather
With little playmates, to and no.
We wandered hand in hand together;
But that was sixty years ago.
You grew lovely, roseate maiden,
And stil our early love was strong;
Still with no care orr days were laden,
They glided joyously along;
And did love yon very dearly
How dearly words want power to show
/ thought your heart was touched az nearly;
But that was fifty years ago.
Then other lovers came around You,
Your beauty grew from year TO year,
And many a splendid circle found you
The centre of its glittering sphere.
| saW YOU then, first VOWS f0rsakln.,
on rank and wealth your hand bestow;
U. then thought my heart was breaking
But that was forty years ago
And lived on to wed another;
No cause she gave me to repine
And when heard you were a mother,
did not wish the children mine.
NY own young flock. In fair progression,
Made up pleasant Christmas row.
NV Joy In them was past expression,
But that was thirty years ago
You grew matron, plump and comey,
You dwelt In fashions brightest blaze;
NY earthly lot was far more homely,
But /, too had my festal days
No merrier eyes have ever gstened
Around the hearthstone's winry glow,
Than when my youngest child was christened;
But that was twenty years ago.
Time passed. My eldest girl was married,
And now ! am grandsire gray;
One pet of four years old I've carried
Among the wild-nowerod mcads TO play.
In our old fields of childish pleasure,
Where now, as then, the cowslips blow
She fills her baskets ample measure
And this IL not ten years ago.
But though first loves Imprisoned blindness
Has passed away in colder night
| still have thought Of you with Kindness,
And shall do till oar last goodnight.
The ever rolling silent hours
win bring time we shall not know,
When our young days of gathering flowers
Will be an hundred yeas ago.

The idea suggested by governor Seymour,
last fall, that the present banking system
should be so amended that the west and south
should be allowed a Just proportion Of the
national banks Of the country, has, it seems,
finally attracted the attention Of congress,
az will be seen by our telegrapbie dispatches
As affairs now exist, the eastern states have
the bulk Of the national banks, and thus
draw tribute from he west and south, by
compelling Us 10 use their capital. We
notice thsta number of western members
have been bought up, and are working
against the interests Of the section they rep.
resent, but the balance Of them are on the
right side We hope the matter vii! be
fought through, and that justice will at last
be done to the west and south ,ardy though
it be.

Receivers Of Stolen Goods.
From tho pIltshnrg DI.patet

from the llIBhuFg Dlsphtcht
John Stuart Mil calls for more stringent
laws against the receivers Of stolen goods.
He Justly says that they are the solid sup
port and foundation OF all professional theft
They thrive upon the felonies Of others;
theirs is always, by far, the largest share Of
the proceeds Of robbery and but for their
diabolical brokerage, the thief would find it
impossible to pursue his business with the
smallest profit, The criminal is, in fact
their i'll paid servant, risking liberty and life
for the merest triAe, and obliged to sell his
ilLgotteu wares in thoir market, at their
price, since 10 other purchaser can be in.
yted without risk which the shrewd thief
will not run. These receivers are men Of
means and Of permanent habitation,an eau
be easily reached. This strikes at the very
root Of the matter and law founded on
this principle would certainly do all that
law can do to reprcss crime. After al, there
are preventive measures, however, that will
be applied in the next generation, il not in
this, that will do more for the eradication Of
crime than all the repressive laws that car
be invented
