Greeley's Ten Commandments.

Mr.. Horace Greeley, in his tour
through the South, has made many agrl-
cultural speeches, some of which contain
excellent suggestions, which will not
fail to benefit Southern agriculture if his
hearers pay any attention at all to what
he told them.
AT one place he gave a series of ten
rules which every one should try to fol,
low out, if he would hope for tolerable
| success. We think that not only the
Southern but the Northern farmer also
would benefit by them, and we have
therefore extracted them from his speech,
leaving out the remarks he made under
each head, and set them together in one,
SO that those who wish may cut them
and keep them before him.
These are ten leading rules in Mr.,
Greelcy's idea of good Earnings
l. Only good farming pays.
2. The farmer is proved such by the
steady appreciation of his crops.
3. 1t is far easier to maintain the pro-
ductive capacity Of farm than to re-
store it.
4. The good farmer sells mainly such
products as are least Exhaustive
3. Rotation is at least negative,
6. Wisdom Is never dear, provided
the article be genuine.
:. The best investment farmer can
make for his children is that which sur
rounds their youth with the rational de.
light of a beauteo1s, attractive home.
8. A good practical education, includ-
ing a good trade, is better outfit for a
youth than grand estate with the draw.
back of an empty mind.
9. A small library of we'll selected
books in his home has saved many a
youth from wandering into the baleful
ways of the Prodigal Son.
10. Most men are born poor, but no
man who has average capacities and
tolerable luck need remain so.

The Morning Star.

missionary Brig Morning Star has at
last reached her destination in the Pacific
Ocean, where she will be employed in
keeping up communication with the nu-
merous missionary stations among the
islands. In command of Capt. Mathews,
she sailed from Boston last winter, and
after passage of 1875 days arrived III

Wilt Thou Remember Me9
Wilt thnn remember me

Wilt thou remember me
When may ne'cr again caress thee,
Nor more to loving heart may press thee,
Nor from thy brow the chestnut hair
May part, to imprint my kisses there?
Wilt thou remember me
When no longer come to greet thee
With yearning heart o'erjoJed TO meet thee,
When sealed the lips that love so well
To thee my every thought to tell?
Wilt thou remember me
And like thyself, with generous kindness
No fault observing in Loves blindness,
Think of me fondly, deeming me
What for thy sake l wish to be.
Wilt thou remember me
When years fit by, will love grow stronger
For me, when thou shalt hear no longer
My name rs a familiar word
By which the hearts deep founts arc stirFed
TsOu colt remember me
And shall come, in silence gliding
Whereer thou art, by thee abiding,
To guard thee, and to be to thee
What thou on earth hast been TO me,
Thou uH remember me
When of changeful oarth thou ,rt weary,
And all thou scest is dark and dreary,
My loving heart shall still be near
Thine own, TO soothe, and bless and cheer,
Ihou Wit remember me
In earth's last pains, close, close beside thee
Thy waiting one still stands to guide thee
In glorous form, with angel bands,
To pleasant homes, in heavenly lands.

Summer Evening Music.

Ot all the memories of European hours,
none is more vivid or more delightful.
than the out-of-door music of the cont,
nent. Indeed, music and life in the open
air have much closer relation to each
other than is generally imagined. The
most musical people in the world are
the Germans AMI Italians, whose two
schools are acknowledged as the only
standards of musical taste and culture,
and the Germans pass most Of their time
ont -oi-doors during the summer, while
the Italians OF the city live in the open
air for the greater part OF the year. Mu-
sic is cheap with them, because it is
part of their being, and it is excellent,
because their taste has been so highly
educated that they will not tolerate
medlocrlty in composition or perform
ance
The increasing attention paid to music
IN this country, especially among the
summer concerts, which is in great
measure due to the large German ele-
ment in our population. is a very graft
flying fact. The climate of the United
States from May to October invites us
to the open air for the enjoyment of the
pleaSaDtest hours OF the twent y-four in
the late afternoon, and parks have come
very properly to be regarded by all our
municipal governments as indispensable
adjuncts TO cities. But the park with
out music is the rose without perfume,
life without love, world destitute OF
color. Hamlet with the Prince of Den

be music. And what so conductive

health, to the Improvement of the nation

The growing appreciation Of their character

More than 1000 Of these excellent machines
are in daily use in the cities Of Washington and
Georgetown, and Of this very large number q

They make the Howe or "Lock-Stitch,"
which has the same beautiful appearance on
