We send our products abroad in foreign
ships Of which England supplies the larger
share. But when England is involved in a
struggle for her own existence, what will
become of English ships? The Paris treaty
forbids privsteering; but Russia, which
throws the treaty overheard, will not hesi-
tate to call privateers into her service to
infiot upon English commerce the ruin with
which the Alabama familiarized us. Aud if
England's ships be driven off the seas, as
most assuredly they will, where shall we look
for the means of carrying on our carrying
trade? English ship-owners will then be as
eager to sell their ships as during the civil
war they were to buy ours. Shall stupid
navigation laws make it impossible for
American merchants and ship-owners TO turn
the opportunity to our advantageP President
Grant has already answered the question. 1t
remains for Congress to give that answer
practical effect.

A REVENUE REFORM PARTY.

From the N. Y. Sun.
Some of the papers arc talking about a
new political party, with revenue reform as
the main if not the only plank in it's plat
form. The Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati
Commercial, the E0ening Post, Governor
Brown and Senator Sehurz, of Missouri, are
mentioned as leading in this new movement.
Their fundamental idea appears to be free
trade with foreign nations by the entire abo-
lition of duties on imports as soon as prac-
ticable. Meanwhile they would reduce all
kinds of taxes to such a point that the reve-
nue. of the Government will exactly meet its
wants and nothing more.
1t would be great satisfaction to the
minds of practical men if parties could be
exactly divided upon the question of the
tariff For the last half century Il has been
the subject of constant and animated discus
sion in colleges, in Congress, in the press
and on the stamp; but it has never yet been
squarely voted upon in any national cleo
tion. While the old Whig party and the
Republican party have always had general
tendency towards a protective tariff, and the
Democratic party have exhibited a similar
tendency towards free trado, it has never been
possible to array them against each other
distinctly upon this issue. There have
always been protectionist Democrats and free
trade Wings and Republicans; and political
questions have always been regarded by the
masses of the people as so much superior in
Importance to this question of scientific eco
nomy and taxation, that neither school
neither the protectionists nor the free-traders
have ever been able to bring the country

to clear and final decision upon their re-
spective theories and policy. For this reason
we should really be glad If it were new pos
sible to organize party upon this contro-
versy, and to have it settled by popular
vote once and forever; but we see no proba-
bility of such an event. Now, as heretofore,
political issues will be held to be of higher
moment, and will continue to control parties
and decide elections.
OF course this new movement will receive
all possible encouragement from the Demo-
cracy The revenue reformers have all of
them for a long time past been identified
with the Republican party. The stronger
they become the more decidedly the Re-
publcans will be weakened, and the more
easily the Democrats will triumph over them.
In fact, the revenue reform movement is
nothing but a symptom of that general revolt
and universal arrangement which President
Grants family government, inoapaeity, and
silly blundering have produced in the whole
Republican body. Processing to aim at a re-
duction of the tariff and the approximation
of our whole system of taxation to free-trade
principles, the real object of this movement
is to overthrow Grant.
1t is so manifest that free trade is out of
the question as long as the country is bur-
dened with vast debt and compelled to raise
an enormous revenue, requiring at least an
average of forty per cent. duties upon all i'm
ports, that no sensible man can talk In earnest
of adopting free trade. When the debt is paid,
the people can, if they choose, support the
Government by means of direct taxes rather
than duties upon imports; but it will be a
quarter of centurybefore that millennial con-
dition is attained. Until then we must have
high tariff, and we must also raise an i'm
mense sum by internal taxes. The only reve-
nue. reform that is now practicable is to
arrange the import duties and the internal
taxes so as to render them the least burden
some and the most satisfactory possible to the
various interests of the country. That this
can be better accomplished through either of
the existing parties than by the formation of
a new one needs no proof.
But the danger which this new movement
has in store for the Republicans is serious,
and the sooner they obviate it by pitching
Grant overheard and taking up as their eau
didate for 1872 some man like Lyman Trum-
bull, Roscoe Conkling, or John Scott, who
by opposition to the odious aud unconstitu-
tional income tax has identified himself with
a real reform of the revenue, and yet is not
pledged to extreme and impracticablei ideas, the
better it will be for them. Or if they are
willing to go the whole figure, let them take
Gratz Brown himself. He has just received
greater majority in Missouri than any can
didate ever had there before.

happy tones told her of all my pros

necessarily so, was our conversation,
for Aggie had to return to the par

guests, among whom she moved, to-
tally unconscious of the admiring
glances that followed her, and the
remarks made about her, but which
l treasured secretly, for l felt proud
in thinking that she was the object
of such universal observation.
That night they pressed her to
sing. Swiftly her slender fingers
ran over the ivory keys of the piano

tones-so sad that it drew tears to
the eyes of many, she sang "Auld

Of yore, hand in hand, which salts

foreign country could have done.
We dwelt happily in the old
homestead, leading quiet and con-

from the world; to certain

NOwI LAY.M DOWN TO SLEEP.

In the quiet nursery chambers.
Snowy pillows yet impressed,
See the forms OF little children
Kneeling, white-robed for their rest.
All in quiet nursery chambers,
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices of the children
Now lay me down to sleep"
In the meadow and the mountain.
Calmly shine the winter stars,
But across the glistening lowlands,
Slants the moonlight's silver bars,
In the silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep.
Listen to the little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
"If we die'-so pray the children,
And the mothers head drops low;
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the winters snowy
Take our souls;" and past the easement
Fits a CLEAN of crystal light,
Like the trailing of his garments,
Walking evermore might.
Lit tie. souls hat'stand'expectant,
Listen at the gates of life;
Hearing far away, the murmur
Of the tumult and the strife.
We, wh0'fight beneath those banners,
Meeting ranks Of foemen there,
Find deeper, broader meaning
In your simple vesper prayers.
When your hands shall grasp this standard
Which to-day 'you.watch from far,
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In this universal war,
Pray to him, the God of battles,
Whose strong eye can never sleep,
In the warring of temptation,
Firm and true your souls to keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the skies,
Then far down the purple distance,
All the noise of battleidies;
When the last nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
May the love that never faileth
Take our souls eternally.

A GAY AND FESTIVE AFFAIR.

A party of gamblers sat down to
a small game of euchre on election
day on the outrageous bank of q
Kansas creek. The sport went on
peacefully for u while, until one of
the gentlemen was discovered ma
king use of that ignorance of the
game which proved so exasperating
to William Nye and James Truthful
in famous passage on Table Mount
ain. The ordeal by battle was de
cided upon for settlement of the
points at issue. The combatants
fought a duel ON horseback, in which
they dissected each other like zeal
GUS young surgeons, and their
horses, catching the chivalrous in
fection, bit and tore each others
necks and cheeks into shreds. When
the fight and one of the gamblers
were finished, the survivor was
shot by spectator, who
had probably bet on a different re-
suit, and the fighting became gener-
al. The whole party was soon
out on the Autumnal herb
age, when, unfortunately, a physi-
clan (Dr. Lawrence, who tells the
story passed that way and rendered
professional assistance, and it is
feared some of the gamblers may
recover.

FOOD FOR FOWLS.

A change of food, summer and
winter, is just as essential in the
management of fowls as any farm
stock. While oat meal and mid
dlings contain a high per cent. of
flesh forming material, gluten, etc,
Indian corn has the greatest per
cent. of oil making or warmth Civ
ing qualities of any of the grains;
and while oat meal is one of the best
summer foods, in winter it should
not be fed alone. Potatoes and
rice contain large amount of starch
and are excellent winter feed.
Wheat is never profitable as
poultry feed compared with oats, it
contains less amount of flesh form
ing and fat making ingredients. A
change of food, frequently, is desir-
able, and we prefer for winter alter
nate messes of mixed oat and corn
meal, and corn meal and mashed po-
tatoes. Middlings may be used with
equal profit in place ofthe oat meal.
In mixing soft foods they should not
be made very wet, but kneaded up
as dry as possible, for forcing an ex-
cess of water into the crop is very
liable to cause diarrhea.
Fowls must never be left without
water, but we would advise letting
them take it in such quantities and
at such times as their natures de
mand. Give fresh water and see
there is no snow in it. Experience
has taught that snow water will re
duce poultry in flesh

WALKS ABOUT THE PREMISES.

The season is upon US when good
hard walks about our dwellings,
barns and out-houses generally, are
very desirable on many accounts
health, convenience and comfort be-
ing among them. How many of our
agricultural readers neglect this
home duty? How many allow the
paths even to their houses to be al
most impossible in moist weather?
And so with the paths to the barn,
or different stable doors, to the hog
pens, cattle yards, etc.
We have known persons to wade
through water, mud and soft manure
for eight months in the year, to get
at these several places, at the ex-
pense of damp feet and nasty boots,
instead of providing footway of
stones, coal-ashes or boards, either
of which could be made at small ex-
pense and a few hours of time in la
Dor. Especially is this neglect to
be. condemned where the females of
the family are the sufferers. We
have many times seen the way to the
wood-pile, eoal-bin, spring-house,
chicken-yard and other indispensa-
BILE points, totally unfit to be used by
them. If there is any one who
thinks there is any economy in this,
he is grievously mistaken.
To say nothing as to the loss of
time in wading through the mud,
the wear and tear of shoe leather
and injury to garments would alone
pay the entire expense of providing
good, dry walks; but when the ques-
ton of health, of suffering and doc
tors bills are taken into account,
they ought to be sufficient to drive
every negligent, unsympathizing
head of a family, whether in town or
country, to follow the suggestions
herein made A man who will not
look after the reasonable needs and
comfort of his household, does not
deserve to have family.
