THE XVTH AMENDMENT SAPE!

At last daylight is breaking! Nothing but
the blindest, most fatuous throwing away Of
our own opportunities can now by any posi-
bility prevent the ratification of the XVIII
Amendment! 1t is fitting that assurance of
the success of this benefcent Constitutional
guaranty should come at time when the
Senate seems bent on delaying by every de-
vice of dull debate, the completion of the Re-
construction of which it is at once flower and
fruit.
Rhode Island yesterday completed her ratif-
cation. Minnesota and Mississippi have already
done the same; Ohio, in spite of the effort to
smother the question in hostile Committee,
will speedily follow. The New-York effort to
withdraw ratifcation-a characteristic Demo-
cratic breach of contract-will not stand, but
even if it did, it would be unavailing. There
are thirty-seven States; twenty-eight are
needed to ratify; twenty-five have already
done so, as follows:

Lee and Jackson.

There is an affecting similarity which we
observe between the last words which issued
from the lips of Stonewall Jackson before he
passed over the river and rested under the
shade of the trees" and the words reported to
have been the last uttered by Cen Lee before
he laid aside the weary crosses Of life and join
ed his late comrade-in-arms in the peace and
blessing of the better country "Tell A. p.
Hill to prepare for action !" were among the
words last sylab!ed by Stonewall Jackson !;
he, too once ordered has tent 10 be struck, and
at another time desired A. p Hill to be sent
for: : and this is the report that comes to us
from the death bed of Robert f. Lee Thus
did these two great and immortal Virginia
chieftains show, by the expressions which es-
capped them in the hour of delirium which pre-
ceded dissolution, that their thoughts and
memories recurred TO the duties devoved upon
them, and the cause Of Confederate independ-
ence, confded, in so largea measure, to their
efforts. Each sacrificed his splendid life in
the defense of the liberties and rights of Vir-
ginia and the South-Gen. Lee not less than
Gen Jackson because, as we are assured by
one who knew the latter most intimately, it
was the defeat and distress of his people which
weighed with such force on his mind and
heart as to break down his health and finally
destroy his life e-LynthbuTg pTgiFidn.

Facts for Farmers

Never Keep your cattle Short few farmers
can afford it, II you starve them, they will
starve you.
Rain IS cash to farmer.
The foot Of the owner is the best manure
for land.
Obtain good seed prepare your ground well,
sow early, and pay very little attention to the
moon.
Cultivate your own heart Alright remember
that whatsoevera man soweth, that shall be
also reap"
Keep notes of all remarkable events on your
farm.
Recording even your errors will be Of bene-
fit
Ground once well plowcd is better than
thrice poorly.
Weeds that grow unmolested around the
fences. stumps, and stones, scatter their seeds
over the farm, and are very likely to grow.
When you see fence down, put it up u
il remain until tomorrow, the cattle may get
over
What ought to be done to-day, do it, for to-
morrow i. may rain.
Farmers sons had better learn to hold to tho
plow and feed the pigs, than measure tape aud
cut buttons.

ERRORS RESPECTING TIE DEAD-The press
has generally fallen into an egregious error as
to the name of General Lee, and also as to the
date Of his birth His name was Robert Ed
ward Lee, and not Edmund. as everywhere
published except in The Baltimore Sun ]
and he was born on the 9th day Of January.
1908, and not on the 10Th Of January, 1909,
as papers have it. This information comes
from a nephew of the general who bears bis
name, aud it was bequeathed to him by his
godmother, who entered it on the iy-leaf of
his Bible. The mistake as to the name origi-
mated with Mr. w. Cabe, author Of General
Lees biography.-Lerington "a, Or. ". T.

A correspondent of the Agricultuist puts

scratch in wheat in October or November and
make sorry crops others here plow early, aud
will sow in September, and make forty BUSH
els per acre Some corn-6elds, contending
with grass, bTiers, and bushes, yield from five
to fifteen bushels per acre. Other fields, upon
which nothing but the corn is suffered to
grow, will yield forty to sixty bushels. Few
will learn the great advantage of thorough

POETRY,
IT'S SWEET, THO SAD AT EVEN.


IT'S sweet. though sad, at even,
When the fires light is low,
To gather round the hearthstone
In the embers' ftful glow;
And call from memory's keeping
The cherished ones of yore,
The beautiful and lovely,
Who dwell with US no more.
Those bright and happy children
That used to please US so,
Like buds at Autumn's coming,
They perished long ago.
The fair and gentle maidens
Who blessed these homes of ours,
All, me, they too departed,
And left Us with the flowers.
As these come thronging 'roundus,
From friendships broken chain,
We half forget our sorrow
In seeing them again;
Once more their eyes seem sorrowing
In a sea of holy light,
As if their souls were dreaming
OF better worlds delight.
Thus, at the close Of even,
When on the half-lit wall
The shadows seem to lengthen
Into phantoms grim and tall;
Dear memory brings around US
The friends of other years,
Till our minds grow full of thinking
And our eyes grow dim with tears.

ton. Her mother gave her a few dollars for
her pocket money, and she bought only a
simple plain white dress, and appeared in it
at the altar, with natural flowers and her ov n
lovelness for adornment.
She drew the amount of the draft 10 gold,
and, one month TO day after her marriage,
handed the amount TO her husband, and ac-
companied the gift with these words: Dear
est applied to my father for money to pur-
chase what supposed ! needed for marriage,
and he wrote me this letter, handing it 10 her

which | drew these thousand gold dollars,
which I now present to you, as tho money
saved by victory over foolish fashion,
Have | done wisely?'
"You have, my blessed wife, and arc thou
sand times dcarer to me by your better judy
