WHAT YOU Do, DO WE'LL.

After years and years of intoxicating
the above principle by the agricultural
press, that should govern farmers in all
their Iabors, we find the world full of
cultivators of the soil who live and act
as though they had never read nor heard
of ''doing things sceLi' In their lives.
Everything they attempt to perform
shows a lack of care, attention, and
knowledge of what is to their own in
terests. Wherever you find farmer
who has steadily grown rich by the
sweat of his brow you will find a man
who does tceH whatever he performs.
His house is always in good repair,
well painted, etc.; his grounds around
his dwelling neatly laid out, with an
abundance Of good fruit and shade trees
his out-houses cofnmodious, well ar
ranged, and also in good order. His
cattle and horses are of good stock and
in good condition, and he has a system
of doing work that accomplishes what
he undertakes, and he does not have
everything half done, as man. farmers
do who drag through life and die poor.
Pass along any great thoroughfare,
and you will soon come to farmer
who yards his cattle in the public high
way, wastes the manure which should
fertiliZe his fields, and allows the pub
lie to thread their. break-neck passage
among Them The next, perhaps, feeds
his corn whole, and loses third of its
nutriment. Another deprives his pigs
of light, and their growth stops. An
other allows pestilential gases, general
ed under his barn, to be inhaled by his
stock. Another allows his cattle to
drink out of mere mud holes, instead
of pure water. Another allows his
sheep in winter to go without any wa
ter at all. The next exposes his calves
and colts to the wintry storms, thus ar
resting their growth, while il would alb
sOlutely cost less to keep them growing
and housed. The next has, perhaps,
not a fit tool wherewith to work eff
ficiently On his whole farm. Another
sOws poor or mixed seed, or not half
enough, and as a consequence reaps
half a crop. The next plOws his land
but three or four inches deep. He has
but little faith in deep blowing and
thorough pulverizalion of the earth,
but has full faith in the signs of the 20
diac, the moon and luck. He believes
in good luck while putting in the seed,
and has realizing sense of i'll luck in
harvesting, costly experience in both
theory and practice.-RstrGI american.

THE GOLDEN wEDDING.


I'VE were not aware that our friend an
brother typo, C. 4. FaIris, Of the Lawrenc
Republican Journal office, INDUCED in poetry
At the celebration OF golden wedding /
that city few days ago, the following yer
ereditable production of his pen was readsl
Just fifty years ago tonight.
just half hundred years ago,
A bride arrayed in purest white,
Bowed at the marriage altar low.
She then was young and happy too,
No care sat on her youthful brow;
She loved as only women do,
Who take the willing marriage vow.
The groom stood proudly by her side
And claimed her with unfeigned delight,
Gazed fondty on his youthful bride,
just fifty years ago tonight.
Yet fifty years are but a span
That vanish like feeting breath,
The youth is soon an aged man,
The aged man soon claimed by death.
And now we stand ut this glad hour
And backward look Ger life's swift stream
The storms have ceased-have lost thei
power,
The past to us is but dream.
The bark which started out to ride
The stormy waves Of life's great sea,
Has'safely battled 'gainst the tide.
And all the tolls and cares that be.
1t passes on. and one by one
Companions sink beneath the wave,
Their voyage ends, their work is done,
They sleep in peaee-sleep in the grave
And now as wears accumulate,
The bark steers for port most bright,
And We meet here to celebrate
Th' event of fifty years tonight.
To Thee. our Father and our God
Would we address an earnest plea
To guide us on that heavenly road
That leads to happiness and Thee.
Oh. may we meet upon that shore.
Where all is joy and all is bright,
And sing with those who'ye gone before
The songs and praises of this night.

Pleasure il like hornet-generaIly
ends with sting.
The most dangerous characters i'm the
world are those who live in the suburbs
of virtew-they are rotten ice.
Laziness is a good deal like money
the more a man haz of it, the more he
seems to want.
There is no such thing as inheritfng
yirtew money and titles and fever sores
can be Inherited.
The virtews of a convent are like hot
house fruits-tender but tastless.
Life liz like mountain-after climb

other, put mp the sled. 80
When n man proves literary failure,
he generally sets up for a critic, and,
his tail in trap, kant see nice long
tail without hankerin to bob it.
The devil owes most of his success to
the fakt that he liz alwus on hand.
Coquetts often beat up the game
while the Prues bag it.
There is only one excuse for impu-
dence, and that IL Ignorance.
Modest men in trying to be impudent
