Emanoipatlon In Brazil.

Slavery is virtually abolished in Brazil. On
the 9th OF September bill was passed by II c
Brazilian Legislature, providing for the gradual
emancipation OF all slaves within the Empire.
This fact had been received by telegraph, but
late les Of Brazilian papers bring the details of
the emancipation it is gradual on the prnc,-
pal. of compensation. The bill aDpropriates n
which all slaves are to be paid for fast az
they are set at liberty. The compensation at a
very low figure. Children BORN since the oct
are TO be held free, so that no mere slaves can
be born in Brazil. The number now IN the En-
pire is about a million and half, and at the
rate provided for, it will take some years for the
last slave to be emancipated. Yet the system
is effectually killed, and will in TINA be wholly
extiuguished. The Cleveland LeadT thinks il
is a curious inquiry what will become of tie
rampant Southern slave idolaters, who af.er Ile
war, aed from our Southern States to Brazil
because they would not live free country. The
genius Of emancipation has pursued and over
taken them in their last refuge, and il they in
sist on living under the curse nf negro slavery
they will have TO forsake all civilized lands and
retire to the most barbarous coasts Of Africa
itself. The abolition OF slavery In Russia, the
United States, and Brazil, all within a single de-
eade, is one Of the grandest triumphs OF which
Civilization and Christianity can boast; and
may we'll be hailed as the harbinger OF uniVer
sal freedom.

Hard Times for Farmers.-A farmer in
djbt will always have hard times, such as those
who own land and have a comfortable home,
free from all membranes, cannot fully COM
prehend. Mr.. BEEcHER, who knows the cost Of
farming perhaps, better than its profits, says
candidly:
"No blister draws sharper than interest does.
OF allindustries, none is comparable to that Of
interest, which works all day and night, in fair
weather and foul. II has no sound in its fnot
steps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws at a mans
substance with invisible teeth. 1t binds indus
try with its film as fly is bound in spiders
web. Debt rolls man over, binding him hand
and foot and letting him hang on the fatal mesh
until the long-legged interest devours him.
There is but one thing ON Il farm like it, and
that is the Canada thistle, which swarns new
plants every time you break its roots whose
blossoms are prolific, and every flower the
father of a million seeds, every plant of them
like platoon Of bayonets, and field of them
like armed hUst Tile whuie plant is "a Ior-
M mt and vegetable curse-and yet a farmer
had better make his bed of Canada tliistles than
attempt TO rest at ease upon interest"
