high latitude of the st. Lawrence outlet
greatly interferes with its apparent capacity.
and one is almost led to wish that the St.
Lawrence waters had found an outlet due
east from the lower end of Lake Ontario, at
or near the port of Osyego, so as to have en-
tered that portion of the Atlantic Ocean
known as the Gulf of Maine at the accessible
harbor of Portland on the same parallel of
latitude as Oswego. Such an outlet naviga

rollticai differences, the conflicts Of race

OF American cities, but since the continent
has come to be possessed by English speaking
people, and commercial restrictions abolished,

different sections, and in treating of public
improvements upon the continent of North
America or that portion in possession of the

pose and design of the Portland, Rutland, Os-

ceive such assistance But Mr.. Stuart is not
'now editing the VIEGIN1AN," nor is he in
any wise responsible for its management. ALI
that he has contributed to our paper has
been merely as matter of courtesy to US
Mr. Stuart doubtless feels that i'll this dark

efforts to restore peace and prosperity. We

In the case OF the hirelsng freedmen, wa
ges cover all you have to pay. You have
nothing to do with his clothing-nothing with
his taxes-nothing with his Doctors bill
If he is sick, and loses time, it is his loss, not
yours. You are not even bound IN law
Though you may be in good morals and hui
manity) to board and nurse him while sick,
without compensation.
It thus appears, that, while under the old
system, the labor of 6rst-class hand cost his
owner $3.50, per annum-or his hirer from
$l60 to $3.50, the hire Of the same man, as
freedman, costs you only 500 OR $l20
/ We challenge any farmer to dispute the
correctness of our facts or of our deductions
from them They are beyond controversy.
Away then with the complaint that farm
labor is too dear It is not true. 1t is
cheaper now than it has been since 1881
Those farmers who are industrious and tru-
gal cannot fail to make money. The dlih-
Guilty is to SAGE it. Aye! there is the rub
The effort of the farmer should be now not
to cheaper labor but to stop the leaks IN his
household expenses We do not know where
those leaks may be. They vary in different
families In one they be through "love OF
bonnet for pettcd daughter-in another
for rep 81 silk for fanciful spouse--in
third, for striped pants, bobtailed coats-and
fragrant Havanas" for. fast boy! Be they
where they may, let them be stopped Let
judicious economy-not parslmony !-regu-
late all our expenditures and our word for it,
we will soon have fewer complaints Of hard
times, and scarcity of money, and the impos'
sibility of prospecting by farming
In conclusion, we would offer one other
word Of advice to our friends, who are en-
gagged in agriculture. Do not risk your
whole years labor on single crop, or on two
or three. Diversity your occupations Null
tiply productions. Put in reasonable crops
of wheat and corn. But don't "stake you,
whole pile" on these two cards Ralse more
cattle, hogs, sheep, turkeys, ducks chickens
bees &c. Do not even forget the Peafow
and the Guinea fowl Cultivate more pota
toes, and turnips, and beets, and CARROTS
beans, peas, and satisfy, and tomatoes, AM
vegetables of every kind Raise more hay
and fax, and broom corn and other thing
that will be useful Give more attention t.
Apples, peaches, cherries, peas, plums, grapes
and currants and goose-berries and raspber
ries. And above all things, give more atten
ton to your diaries. Make more butter ant
cheese and milk. The income from eacl
Of these products, may be small, but the ag
gregate will be very large. Remember tina
the largest fortune is but the aggregation o
cents
