ArARMER needs pluck. Capital is
rnrr 6esirahla hnt nlnnE Ia worth more

AFARMER needs pluck. Capital Is
very desirable, but pluck is worth more
to farmer than capital. A little cap
ital and good deal of pluck is what ID
wanted. "Times are hard" but what
of thati People must eat and it is ouI
busines to raise the food. We do not
raise any teo much. 1t is not pleasant
to find that wheat we expected to get
81 90 for will bring only Sl.0O. But all
business is sub ject to such fluctuations,
and we are on the whole no worse Oh
than other people. l was at the West
once when corn was worth only 10 cents
a bushel; and many of the wildcat bank
bills in circulatio II were not worth
over 80 cents on the dollar. The bot
tom seemed TO have dropped out Of
everything. Iexpected to see the farm
ers thoroughly disheartened. Not "A bit
of it. They "kept right en,' working
harder and faster, if possible, than be.
fore. Ia less than two years from that
time, corn in the same place was worth
81. 10 per bushel, and the farmers who
went ahead got their reward. 1t will
be the same again. There Will be q
sharp reaction in prices, and / should
not be surprised if it comes before an
other harvest. But at any rate all the
food We can raise will be wanted. Most
of us will lose money this year.
We have paid too high wages,
but if wise, we can correct this mistake
next year. For my part i havo made up
nv mind not to have single extra
days work done before next May, unless
can get it done for dollar. At that
price l would do anything that needs to
be done in the way of permanent i'm
provement, and give any man who IS
willing to work an opportunity to do so.
The country cannot afford to have me
lie idle. Buff they demand exorbitant
wages we have no alternative but to
stop every kind of work that is not alb
solutely Iecessary to be done.
In the meantime let us take good care
of our stock. Instead of forcing our
grain upon an over-supplied market, let
us feed it ont. We shall get our money
back with interest. Hay is selling in
Rochester at So to $40 per ton. Glover
hay is worth that for manure. Do not
sell pound. Feed it out and let our
fields have a dressing of good manure
next spring. at is all very well to
talk in this way" you say, "but what
are we to do for money! That is a
very ugly question. 1t is what have
asked myself many times during the
last month, and the only answer / can
get or give is pluck" There is light
ahead. Good farming will pay as well
in this county as III any other-and ]
think better. Let US have faith and
keep working.

TIE New York Times remarks that any
project to raise 5000 900, or 100000, or
any other sum, to hold an International
Exhibition in that city, is very praise
worthy and enterprising. But appeal

half million by taxation, for the same
purpose, is quite another matter. Ii
the proper sum cannot be raised by vol.
untary effort, the inference would seem
to be that there is not population or
wealth enough in the city to justify it
in holding the Exhibition. We trust
therefore, that Congress will not be
called upon to tax the people even fol

THE sTRATAGRm OF LOVE.

A sprshtly youth and maiden gay,
In smiling summer weather,
Where Love, within garden lay,
One morning strolld together;
The nymph had laughed the god to scorn,
Which served but to amuse him;
And he had vow'd that very morn
To lodge within her bosom.
She trippd along with fairy feet
That scarcely bent flower,
And Guild full many blossom sweet,
Deriding Cupid's power.
Just then the youth, who'd ask'd his aid,
And beggd he'd net refuse him,
Piek'd fair moss rose for the maid
And placed it in her bosom.
Sly Love within the leaves lay hid,
While 10 heart she press'd Elm;
Unconscious thus of what she did,
The simple maid caress'd him;
A transient life the buds retain'd-
The maiden sigh'd to lose 'em,
But Cupid and the thorns remand,
And long disturb'd her bosom.

Narrow Gage Railway.

The Portmadoc and Festiniog
Railway, Wales, is now attracting
much attention from railroad men.
This is little line in North Wales,
which was originally constructed for
the purpose of acting as trainway
for slate and stene from the hills of
Merionethshire to the sea shore. 1t
is now being used as a regular
goods and passenger line. The
chief popularity in its construction
is that the gage is only two feet
broad. Hence, though the line
runs through very difficult coun-
try, the expenses of constl uction
and working are SO small that the
traffic yields the enormous revenue
of thirty percent. The reason is
simple enough. 1t is because the
proportion between the dead weight
and paying weight is SO much less
than upon other railways. The en-
gine and tender upon the line weigh
about ten tuns, against forty tuns
upon the wider gage OF other lines.
Instead of a first class carriage
weighing seven and a half tuns, to
carry thirty-two passengers, and
representing nearly five cwt., OF
dead weight for each passenger, the
carriages on the Festiniog weigh
only thirty cwt. for twelve passen-
gers, or two and half cwt. for each
person carried.-ScientJfc Ameri-
can.

SUIC1DE.-Mrs. Maria, wife of
Emanual Ault, committed suicide
on Thanksgiving day, by hanging
herself, at her residence, near Basil,
Liberty township. She had been in
sane for a long period, and it had
required much vigilance to prevent
an earlier commission of this act.
On the day mentioned, as we are in
formed, the family were at supper,
Mrs. A, being the first to finish
her meal, was observed to leave the
room, singing cheerfully, as she con
tinued to do while she passed into
an adjoining apartment, thence into
another, and thence up stairs. AT
ter period Mr.. A. noting her 81
lence and prolonged absence, went
after her, and found her suspended
by the neck with rope, from a
door in an upper chamber, a corpse.
