We have seen a letter from Washing
ton, received in this city in which Senator
Williams argument on the famous Sue
Murphy claim is incidentally alluded to
and spoken of very highly. The writer
adds: ''Senator Williams consumes but
little time in making speeches, but when
he does engage in discussion, he not
only commands the undivided attention
of the Senate, but his arguments usually
find place in the leading papers Of the
country, and have wide influence in
molding public sentiment among the
masses from the Atlantic to the shores
of the Pacific" says the Orcgonian.

The season is at hand
For Christmas rhyme and Christmas chime;
Close up, and form the band.
The winter fires still burn as bright,
The lamp-light is as clear,
And, since the dead are out of sight,
What hinders Christmas cheer
Why think or speak of that abyss
In which lies all my Past
High festival need not miss,
While song and jest shall last.
Wen clink and drink on Christmas Eve,
Our ghosts can feel no wrong;
They revelled ere they took their leave
Harken, my Soldiers Song:-
''The morning air doth coldly pass,
Comrades, to the saddle spring;
The night more bitter cold will bring
Ere dying-ere dying.
Sweetheart, come, the parting glass,
Glass and sabre, clash, clash, clash,
Ere dying-ere dying.
Strrup-cup and stirrup-kiss-
Do you hope the foe well miss,
Sweetheart for this loving kiss,
Ere dying-ere dying!"
The feasts and reves of the year
Do ghosts remember long?
Even in memory come they here5
Listen my Sailors Song;-

Hey!

But, comrades, hide from me

And strike the Christmas chime.

small F.rms most Pr.ntable.

! Small farms always do return the
largest profit. There are thousands of
farmers all over the United States who
would make more clean money to dis
pose of one-half their land, and work
the remainder thoroughly, than they
now make by going over such a large
breadth. Still large farms can be cult.
waited with more net profit to the pro-
prietor thai small ones by proper an
agement. Yet, according to the present
system of management, small farms do
return the most profit. The reason Of
this is that farmer with only small
number of acres Is more apt to till better.
manure more bountifully, and perform
every operation more thoroughly than
if he were required to work double the
number of acres. If farmer, for ex-
ample, works twenty acres, he must
necessarily keep good team, and as
complete an assortment of tools and
farm supplements as if he were cultiva-
ting fifty acres. A good team will
usually perform all the labor on q farm
of fifty acres, and require very little
mure care and feed than If they per-
formed only the labor of twenty.acre
farm. Taking this view Of the subject.
it will be perceived that it costs compar-
atively more to carry on q small farm
than large one. But the chief argu-
ment against large farms is that farmers
are liable to work over great breadth
of land without doing every part of the
cultivation thoroughly. The man with
a small farm will make more manure in
comparison to his neighbor who culti-
Yates twice as much land as himself.
For this reason the farmer who has the
greatest breadth of cultivatable acres
will not usually raise as bountiful crops
as If he titled only half of the amount of
land. A thoroughsoing farmer may
cultivate fifty acres with as satisfactory
profit, acre for acre, as he can till twenty,
if he manage judiciously.

The Boston Nation gives an account
of a church which was led to reject the
use of wine at the Lords Supper by the
following circumstances:
"a drunkard in the place was reform
ed; subsequently, he was converted and
became a Christian man.. He united
with the church; but he did not dare to
taste the Intoxicating wine at the COM
munion-table. He feared the taste would
arouse hisold appetite, and send him
back to his cups. The members of the
church were made thoughtful by this
turn of affairs. They read, ''It is good
neither to eat flesh nor drink wine, nor
anything whereby brother stumbleth, ,
ETC., and they concluded that they had
no business to set temptation before a
weak brother even at the Lords Supper.
They saw that Christians are bound to
avoid doing anything that will cause a
brother to offend, and they found that
the Bible made no exception at the
communien-table-th If believer
must be thus careful in every other
place not to lead q brother astray, he
ought surely to be thus careful at the
Lords Supper. So intoxicating wine
was banished, since which time wine
has been prepared from raisins for the
occasion, after the recipe of Pliny and
Columella.n

Perseverance in Farming.

There are many farmers who do not
stick to one thing long enough te make
it pay, and consequently they lose in
everything. At one time they conclude
to devote themselves to stock raising.
Before they get fairly under headway in
this they change their minds and go
back to raising grain. Some again make
a speciality for time of a certain crop
" heat, corn or potatoes, FOR instance.
While they are following this speciality
the crops may be small and the prices
low, and they turn TO another just in
time to miss large crops and good prices
in what they have left. The best farm
ers We have observed are those who find
out what their soil is best adapted TO
produce. They then turn their energies
in that direction, and go straight ior-
ward in that line. A poor crop does not
discourage them. They go on, and are
sure 10 be finally successful. To Illus
trate our idea. We once knew iarmer
who always made it a point 10 fatten
from 25 to 50 hogs every year. Let the
price of pork be high or low, he every
year had his lot of hogs, about the usua
number. He took great pride in having
the best in the neighborhoOd. Some
years, perhaps, lie might have done bet
ter by selling his corn Instead of feeding
it. Some years, perhaps, he might
have done better by turning his whole
attention 10 some other speciality in
farming. But we always noticed this,
that, taking one year with another for a
long time, say ten years. he made the
hogs pay. He was successful farmer.
Another farmer near by every year
planted potatoes. Sometimes his crop
would fail, and sometimes when he had
a good crop price would be low. But he
kept straight forward. Every spring he
planted potatoes. The result in that
case was the same as that in the other.
Taking one year with another for cOn-
siderable number of years, he made the
potato crop pay. He, too, was success
full farmer. The farmer who would
make his business pay must have pol
icy, and must adhere to it.-lAmerican
Farmers Magazine.
