Lying Newspapers.

Rev. De Witt Talmadge, of New
York city, in a sermon from the text
sUnto whomsoever mich is given, Of
him shnll much be required" made the
following allusion to Lying News
papers,"
The newspaper, said Mr.. T., is the
great educator of the century. 1t is
pulpit, platform and press. all iu one.
There is no organization thas can be
compared to it. In 1775 there were "a
newspapers in these States; now they
counted thousands. Books were not
read in this country, but the newspaper
was, The standard authors we're not
read, and the average reading Of the
people in the States was not one book
in year. The preacher preached only
to n few hundreds, but the press flashed
its words to thousands-mapy thou
sands. The Bible told him that the
nations were to be born in day; he
believed that was to be done BY the
telegraph and the press. He wished to
speak of the bad newspapers, and there
were enough bad newspapers published
in this country to poisod u whole nation.
New York, not satisfied With its own
filth, had sent over to other cities for
more literary pollution. There was n
newspaper of most infamous character
published that had circulation of TO-
900 10 New York and 1000 10 Phila-
delphia. He would not give it a name,
as some Of his congregation would 20
aud get it. The bad newspapers stop.
ped for no political falsehood. There
were falschoods uttered by newspapers
so large in number that the father OF
lies would disowu his own progeny. It
would advertise bad book as readily as
it would advertise the Pilgrims Pro
gress."
The sermon was closed by few words
of application to young men and young
women to take clean newspapers, and
the announcements that Dives was in
hell.

PARENTAL LovE.-What is more

love is dear, the love of friend, sweet !;
but, oh F! where is the love that can
compare with parental affection? When
sorrow visits us, it is always 10 the
pareuts' ear the tale of grief is poured,
for we know, whether our pain be great
or little, the soft voice of mother, or the
firmer Que Of father, has always sweet
words of consolation and endearmeut to
offer, which make our hearts light again,
and our spirits gay. When sickness

with sweet smile and soft caress, makes

den chain which binds us to it. IT'S the
gentle pressure of mothers hand on our
forehead, which drives away pain moth

and Texas will be no more Of a grazing
State than New York, Pennsylvania or
Ohio. Yet compare these States, aud
how do they stand now2 New York,

a population OF 1900, 900, has 5000
oxen and stock cattle; Pennsylvania,
with over 5000. 900 people, has 72l,- 4

The great Platte Valley has over
5000, 900 acres Of rich pastures; but
how long will these acres remain grazing
grounds 7 The Union Pacific Railroad
has already divided these lands from
their eastern TO their western extremity,
aud towns aud villages are springing up
everywhere along its iron rails, aud
farms are being opened on every side of
them. IL is no exaggeratiouto say that
the population Of the United States be-
fore the close of the present century
will probably reach 100 900 900 Of peo-
pie. Then there will be no West to

who begin now by raising cattle on Gov

buy portion Of these lands as soon as
they are offered for sale, will find be-
fore they die that these lands will
be worth more to them than their herds
ever could have been. The far-seeing
Ohio Senator, Benjamin Wade, once
said that be believed "within the pres
ent century every acre Of good land be-

the tiue seemed, it has already been
realized in many portions Of Nebraska,
aud is likely to come true in all our
States aud Territories west Of the Big
Muddy. Great, then, as are the for
tunes which are being made in cattle
still greater will be the fortunes made
in land. Those who are wisest will
make all they can on their cattle, ant

There il an upfortunate tendeDcy--
and The worst feature of it is that il is
a growing tendency among our agri,
cultural populations, both nt the North
and at the South both il the old Eas-
tern neigLbprhoods and the new West
ern settlements--to depart from legiti-
mate farming in favor Of all sorts Of
speculative aud III considered yenturesl
The farmer class, always the slowest to
change, the most conservative, has of
lats years seemed to be bitten witksthe
stock jobbiog experimental mania, and
to be inclioed to undertake all sorts 6f
new things, not because they are meri-
torious, but because they are new.
Thus, we have had n grand rush Of in-
experienced people into the cottod aud
sugaf aud orange cultivation, and rs
wus to be expected, while the crops
have certainly been enhanced, their
costs have increased disproportionateIy,
and the adyentdrers bcen rdined id con-
sequence. We have seen largo class
Of our thriftiest and shrewdest farmers
going mad upon the subject Of hop cul-
ture, and ending BY contributing large
percentage to the crop of mortgages
throughout the land. We have seen
another very large class turned fanatics
10 the matter of cranberry bogs, aud con-
vertiug their low lands and meadows
into tart-fruit swamps at cost Of $500
or S400 per acre We have seen the
potato mania sweep over the country
like an epidemic, and prevailing 10 such
a desperate form that '.old hdikg 5f
farmers, who were never known to spend
fifty cents in procuring ordinary com
forts for their families, have been caught
ordering their fancy potatoes through
the mail al the nice little figure or 50
per pound So it has been with grapes,
with fiuewool sheep, with Hungarian
grass, with Norway oats, and u ,hoisand
other ventures 10 which our rural fffEdds
have made unsoplisticated exhibitions
Of their haste 10 get rich. The result
has been a very great increase Of pri-
yate debts, aud very greataddition to
private misery. The farmer manages
to get along and pay his interest while
he lives, but at his death the tteaslted
old homestead must go, aud the help
less family be driven to the cities, 10
the factories, Of to some new line Of oc.
cupation for Which they have neither
taste or fitness.
The farmers are perhaps to be blamed
for yielding gsorcsdily these illegitimate
speculations, but the real fault is DOT
theirs. fhe fault lies at .ihe door Of
CONGRESS-, which, in distributing the

Man is evidently intended for an ac,
tive life. He brings into the world with
him certain waits, which he must satisfy
in order to live; certain desires aud pro
portions which lead him to happiness
from particular enjoyments and indus
try, or aptitude for labor, or both. Il
is wisely ordered BY Providence that
nothing valuable can be procured With
out iudustry--not to mention riches
and honor, neither food nor raiment
can be procured without the toll Of the
hand or the sweat Of the brow; aud the
sentence pronounced upon man, In the
sweat Of thy brow shalt thou eat thy
bread" Is blessing rather than q
curse. Moderate aud habitdal labor
is conductive 10 health. Tie indus
trious man rarely complaints Of LOSS Of
appetite, dyspepsia, iiypochoudria, Of
other ills which fesh Is heir to. He
is never troubled with ennui, dis
gusted with society, or wearied with
life--checrfulness aud good splrits are
the concomitauts Of good iiealsh which
is iuseparately CONNECTED with industry
