PROFESSIONS.

THE question ofgreat professions, which
blockad.t the chief thoroughfares, and
often very injuriously delay honest people
going about their business, has naturally
excited much discussion since the 18th of
July. But the sole ground upon which it
can beTproperly argued that they should
be forbidden, is that of the public conve-
nience, and not at all upon that of the
character of the event which they com.
memorate. Some days and events which
people wish TO celebrate are often local.
foolish, sectarian, sectional, and often also
very dlstasteful and even eXasperating, to
a great many other people. But if his is
to be a reason for forbidding them, where
shall we begin, and where shall we end ?
No body OF citizens has the right, by its
celebration of any event, to obstruct the
public streets against the lawful protest of
the community, because the streets are
for tine general convenience. And, of
course, no collection of people, more than
an individual, has the right to break the
peace. But when we begin to say that
we will have Sunday school professions
but not political, or political but not re-
ligious, or that we will have professions
to celebrate American events but not Eu-
ropean events we are infringing upon the
fundamental right of the people peaceably
to assemble and express their sentiments
Who ia TO be authorized TO say that certain
opinions are wrong, or that nobody ought
to wish to commemorate this mans birth
day or that battle.
There are thpse who wish to march in
honor of Thomas Paine, perhaps and if
they do not exercise. that right 10 the det-
riment of the equal rights of other peo-
ple,a who shall complaint? Phere were
those who wished TO march in honor of
the twenty fifth year Of the Pope's prima-
cy and very properly they did so, respect.
ing all other rights, but very plainly ex
pressing their delight in the Pope. There
may be those who wish to march in honor
of the restoration of Rome as the capital
of Italy, and of the separation of the tenn
poral from the ecclesiastical power of the
Pope, and who shall say that such pa
rade msy excite trouble, and that they
must therefore stay at homer
The vital principle of American liberty
is free speech, whether on banners or in

The Weeds.

THIS is the seeding time of the weeds
Instinctively, as it were, they seem TO have
exercised choice in the selection of time of
ripening their seed, placing it when the
farmer is crowded with the labor of the
harvest, and grudges every moment devot-
ed to other work. But the weeds must be
combated, or they will overwhelm u.s.
They must not he allowed To- ripen and
scatter their seed TO render their eradica.
tion tenfold more troublesome. Some
weeds can be extirpated by timely and
persistent outlay just when the seed is
nearly formed. The dock and Canada
thistle are among this class of perennials
All ANIMALS can be eTadicated by being pre-.
vented from seeding. Thistles cut when
the blossoms first begin to open will dis
appear after few years, if the practice is
followed. Weeds should be cut in past
ures and fence corners, and on the road
sides. We have noticed that the elder has
increased good deal hereabouts within
few years. 1t has the good sense, however,
never to step out into the fields, but con
tents itself with fence corners and by
places. We are half inclined to think
that it is because the June blossoms ofthe
elder are So pretty, and its masses bright
berries so snowy in the autumn, and it is
so modest in its claims on territory, that
the farmers suffer its clumps TO hide many
an ugly fence corner and rough stone heap.

thus incapable Of producing profitable

ally be had cheap from their present
owners, andto aman ofscience and energy

ductive, and become almost mine of

clayey or stony soils, which, from the con
slant working of the plow to uniform
depth, become case hardened as II were,
|. e., an impervious coat Is formed between
the upper crust of cultivated soil and the
lower stratum of soil on which the sole of
the plow runs. II is here that the value of
summer fallow is shown. The plow
must be run below the crust, and some of
that soil yet unused, thrown up to the sur
face and exposed for while to atmos-
pheric influences. The next plowing
should go little deeper, and the next
after may be so managed by the help of a
three. horse cultivator as to thoroughly
mix this new soil with that already work.

Cultivate Cheerfulness.

If we but make up our minds to it, we
can be cheerful under any circumstances,
no matter how adverse and discouraging
they may appear for the time being. And
by how much we do this, by so much we
increase our own and the happiness of
those around us. Charles Lamb used to
say that "a laugh is worth a thousand
groans in any state of the market" DR..
johnson maintained that the habit oflook-
ing on the bright side of everything was
better than $4,000 salary year" Cheer
fulness and diligence, says Samuel Smiles,
are the life aud soul of success, us well as
Of happiness; perhaps the very highest
pleasure in life consists in clear, brisk, con
scious working, Bishop Hall wrote: "For
every bad there might be worse; ; and
when one breaks his leg, let him be thank
ful that it was not his neck" There are
few, if any, persons who find things lust
as they would like TO have them. ANNOY
auces, veXations aud trials are incident 10
the life of every one. We may allow them
to constantly fret and irritate us, souring
our dispositions and making us unhappy
generally, or we can rise above them and
be cheerful in spite of them.
1t should be the aim of all TO cultivate
habit Of cheerfulness to look upon the

DefalcatIOBs.

A GREAT deal fthe noise and the bluster
about national defalcations is sheer non
sense. The Assessors of internal revenue
make out their lists, and the Collectors
receipt for them monthly. The bureau
at Washington charges the aggregate Of
the lists to the Collector, whose duty it is
to gather in the tax. For all that he fails
to obtain he stands charged, and yet every
one knows how slow work 1t is, and
how rare that every item of tax list is
paid. If suddenly removed or called on to
settle, all the officer has to show is what
he has received and the amount actually
delinquent, but in such cases the partisan
plan of attack is to seize on the aggregate
sum charged on the books at Washington,
and assume the balance to be defalca-
ton. In this way number of worthy
men have had their names heralded all
over the Union as defaulters, when set
tlement of their accounts showed that the
government was largely indebted to them
Stating an official balance is no evidence
of loss tits only when the official can
not show in his receipts aud delinquent
list that the account is accurate, or does
not account for monies received, that he
should be branded as an offender, and not
always then until the guilt is plain. Gases
OF this culpability have been very rare

Summer FallOwing.

who thoroughly cultivate their soil, and
carry out well balanced system of rota-
ton by which every acre on the farm is
kept progressing in Improvement
is seldom any necessity for losing years

fallow. But there are yet great many
farms on which such course ofprocedure
becomes absolutely necessary in order to

many of the old farms have been for years
in the hands of men who, having but little
real knowledge of the nature of the soil,
and the value of the elements ofplant food
locked up within them yet out Of the reach
of plants, never went beyond a mere
superficial surface culture Ia the way of

How to Purch ase clothes wrInger.

In purchasing clothes wringer we prefer
one with cog-wheels, as they greatly relieve
the rubber rolls from strain that would other.
wise occur, and add much to the durability
of the machine. The next point is to see
that the cog-wheels are SO arranged as not to
fly apart when large article is passed be-
tween the rollers. 1t matters not whether
the cog-wheels are on one end or both ends
of the shaft; If large articles dsconnect
them, they are entirely useless. This is very
important, for as the larger the article the
greater the strain, therefore if the cog-wheels
separate so as to disconnect, they are of no
service when most needed. We have taken
some pains to examine the various wringers,
and much prefer the "Universal," as lately
improved, because it has long and strong
gears (Rowel's Patent Double Gear, and is

Position of Farm Buildings.

THERE is far too much attention given
to the points of the compass III placing of
farm buildings. II the roads run north
and south every building on the place is
vrry likely to be placed facing due east or
west without regard to the formation OF
the land or surroundings. In fact most of
our country homes have a stiffness or
monotonOus appearance which might be
avoided ifdue care was given TO the proper
arrangement of buildings. II is very
much like making curves in walks when
there is no reason for deviating from a
straight line, which should never be done.
If there is no obstacle in the way which
we seemingly avoid in making a curve,
one should be created, and the same prin
ciple should be carried out in the place
ment of farm buildings. Avoid all stiff
formality, and if the position of the ground
or convenience affords an opportunity for
placing different buildings at different
angles to the road, by all means avail
yourself of it, and thereby give varied
and picturesque appearance to the place
II the grounds are level, without an un
dulating surface, then trees may be intro
duced as seeming obstacles against putting
every building at the same angle. A little
study and forethought in these matters
will enable the most casual observer to Sc

The Signs of the Times.

The recent municipal election in the city OF
T6ledo. furnishes another illustration OF the in
dependence of party control manifested by the
citizens at the ballot-box, aud it also demon
strates the necessity now resting on political
parties Of nominating men for Office who may
command the confidence and cordial support Of
the voters. As an illustration the results Of the
recent election in Toledo are at point.
II is well kno Rn that the on. JoHS FITCH OF
Toledo, has presided on the Judicial Bench OF
shat District For many years, end only retired
when Judge PESNIwELL was nominated over
Bim. This result was received with general
satisfact on, both by the citizens Of Toledo and
Hs legal representatives.
At the late convention for the nom ination of
m ezra Judge of the Common Pleas Court, the
gentlemen of the Toledo Bar, in conformity with
the understood wishes of the people, brougI
forward Mr.. NEWTON as their candidate. At thi
jnneture, sfr. FITcH again put in his claim for
office, AMI by tie unfair action of the people Of
another county he obtained the nomination.
What is the result7 The people of that city
haye declared in favor Of his opponent, Mr.. Sc
KEY, by a ma jority of 1858. Thus, in a city
giving an average Republican majority of about
400, the Democratic candidate for Judge obtains
this large, popular vote, making difference 50
far as the vote for Mr.. FITcH relates 10 other Re-
puhlioan candidate, If about 5000,
In tho close and heated contest that We may
naturally expect next Fall, we hope these results
W.ll not be forgotten, and that for State and also
for local offices we shall have as candidates the
best men of the Republican party, men who are
worthy oil the support Of the people.
