Show Thyself a Man.

Now there are two courses, either OF
which YOU can take. One is to say
81 am not living or dressing as well as
my companions and must have fine clothes
and better fare"
The other is to say, with stern manli-
ness
81 have come here to make my way; and
honesty and simplicity require that should
not live any higher than | myself can earn
the means of living. / will be no mans
pauper or beneficiary l will make what l
take; and what make and take shall sup
port me-"
The discipline which you get from this
latter course of sclfdenial is better than
going to college. Many man Graded
in learning gets no discipline; but young
man who having been reared and trained
in selfindulgence, leaves his fathers and
comes to the city and says
81 will be beholden to no man; | can at
ford to live as plain as any man, both in re-
gard to diet and clothes, if it is necessary
to manhood; l will not have anything
which cannot fairly earn; l will be indie
pendent and establish myself"
Such young man gets dicipline which
is worth university education. BY form
ing that purpose and adhering to it, he is
educating himself in the very elements OF
manhood. He is making man ofhimselt.
Do you suppose men think less of you be-
cause you dress plainly Do you think
your chances in life are less because you
feel ashamed to show man where your
room is and where you sleep4 Why many
man has slept in barn, who was better
than many who slept in mansions and pal,
aces. A man ought not to be ashamed to
say, II am poor and cannot do so and SO"
1t is the curse Of America, since there are
no orders of nobility here, men are asham-
ed to admit they are poor. The young
man defends himself and says, 81 an not
so poor as you take me to be-" Even SEN
sible people yield to the temptation OF
the devil and are ashamed to acknowledge
that they work.

THE ROBBING.

The Robin haz u red breast.
They hav plaintiff song, and sing AZ
tho they was sorry for sumthing.
They are MATHIS of the Northern States,
but 90 south to winter.
They git their name from their crate
ability for robbing u cherry tree.
They kan also rob current bush first
rate, and are smart on goosebcrry.
If q Robin kant find anything else tew
eat, they amt few fastidious tew cat a ripe
strawberry.
They build their nests out ov mud and
straw, and lay eggs, that are speckled.
Four young robbins, i'll a nest, that arc
lust Matched out, and still on the halfshell
are alwus az reddy for dinner az nuscboy
IT,
If ennybody goes near their nest Their
mouths fly open at once, so that yu kan
see clear down tew their palates.
If it want for the birds, | suppose, oV
course, we should all be ct up by cater
pillars and snakes, but i hav thought il
wouldn't be emmy thing more than common
politeness for the robbins tew let us hav
now and then, just one of ov our own cher
riz, to see how they did taste.
THE swALLo.
The swallo is lively bird.
Swallos make their appearance late IN
the spring, and alwus in twitter about
sumthing.

A Good One.

At political meeting, the speaker and
audience were very much disturbed by
man who constantly called for Mr.. Henry.
Whenever a new speaker came on, this man
bawled out, "Mr. Henry Henry Henry
call for Mr.. Henry "
After several Interruptions Of this kind
at each speech, young man assembled the
platform and was soon airing his eloquence
in magniloquent style, striking out pow
erfully in his gestures, when the outcry was
heard for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand to his mouth like 4
speaking trumpet, this man was bawling
out at the top of his voice, "Mr. Henry I!
Henry Henry Henry l call for Mr.. Hen
ry to make speech"
The chairman now rose, and remarked
that it would oblige the audience, if the
gentleman would refrain from any further
calling for Mr.. Henry, as that gentleman
was now speaking.
SIS that Mr. Henry ?" said the disturber
of the meeting. "Thunder! that can't be
Mr.. Henry Why, that's the little cuss that
told me to holler."

While the rosy sunset fingers
In the trance of summers dream,
Falls the touch of fairy fingers
On my heart.strings, as the stream
ldlcs by in Maynard trilling,
O'cr its broken, pcbbly bed;
My sad heart old mcm'ric filling,
Dreams of lifc's blcst sunshine fled.
Yet the sunset-hues DER Brooksidc,
Fall like hopc-rays round my heart,
Brightly lifting, thro' this cve-tidc,
As the gold gates swing apart,
To cnfold the dying glory
OF this summer eve SO fair;
Added gem, old Time so hoary,
Places mid his jewels rare!
Glorious ambcr-light cnwrcathing,
All the hillside, falls upon,
A white cottage mid the cnlcaving,
OF the white syringa's bloom;
Twncd with lovely summer roses
(Ah! how soon those roses fade,
Yet their bloom tho lost, rcposcs,
Fragrantly round mcm'ry still
Above, around the gold light traces,
Mystic forms shade-brcaking fast;
Gloritics familiar faces,
Rising from the old, dead Past!

Every joy this glad, bright evc-tide
Brings to soothe my hearts long pain.
Yet I'll bid my heart cease painng,
Hope is sleeping, but not dead
For its light is on me shining,
Thro' the Gates rs day now fled,
Leaves the moon, white queen of beauty
Glorious on her azure throne,
Cleaning silver light thro' oud-land,
Lighting up our pathway Home

Cut Worms.

An exchange says ;--"It is very annoy
ing after having set out nice lot of sweet
potatoes or cabbage plants, to see them cut
down one by one by cut worms. We have
tried ashes, lime, SCOT, and in fact every
thing we have ever heard of but never
found anything efIectual, until by accident,
we found three or four of the worms gath
cred one morning under a small board
which had been left by some children on a
sweet potato hill. Acting upon this hint,
we placed small pieces of board, large
chips, ETC., all Though the patch, and we
trapped them by hundreds. The boards
must be lifted early in the morning, and on
very warm days about noon. A little care
for few days win clear these pests out Of
the garden. One trial win satisfy any per-
son Of the merits Of this plan"

Agricultural Organizations.

Farmers organize ! is the watchword of
to-day, all over our beautiful country
The Farmers Club in almost every thicl1ly
settled neighborhood, are all doing good
work, developing crude ideas and sugges-
ting experiments. The county Agricultu-
raj Societies holding their annual fairs in
almost every county, are making rapid
strides in improvement of the stock and
crops.
The State Agricultural Societies are also
working revolution in the fine stock in
terest, the improvement of farms and crops
and the introduction of improved farm ma
chinery.
Within the past year or two the Pa
irons of Husbandry''-a national organi-
zation--has been organized in various sec
tions of the country, and is destined to
elevate the profession of the farmer, and
make them power in the land that will be
felt by monopoles.
The Agricultural Congress composed of
the best men of the nation, is making the
profession of farming of the first national
importance, developing theories, and adopt
ing plans looking to the improvement of
the agricultural interests of the country.
Think of the incalculable good that is
now being done every year by this array
of Agricultural organizations.
Farmers, Organize, and keep up your Or
ganizations, attend your meetings, consult
with each other, for the contest will now
commence between the monopolies, and
these organizations that represent. your
best financial interest Heretofore there
has been no contest the farmers, single
handed, were subject to all the impositions
of the sharpers and monopolists.
Farmers, organize in defiance of political
leagues You have the papers all over the
country at your command. Let these pa
pers be your organs. Give them your sup
port, and they will stand by you through
every contest. s4s

Comfort for Tea-drinkers.

In the life of most persons period ar
rives when the stomach no longer digests
enough of the ordinary elements of food to
make up for natural daily waste of the
bodily sustenance. The size and weight of
the body begin to diminish more or less
perceptibly. At this time tea comes in as
amedicine to arrest the waste, and to keep
the body from falling away so fast, and thus
enables the less energetic powers of diges-
tion still to supply as much as is needed to
repair the wear and tear of the solid tissue.
No wonder therefore, that tea should be
the favorite, on the one hand, with the
poor, whose supply of substantial food is
scanty, and ON the other with the aged and
ipfrm, especially of the feebler sex, whose
powers Of digestion and whose bodily sub
stance have already begun to fail Nor is
it surprising that the aged female, who has
barely enough of weekly income to buy
what are called the necessaries of life,
should spend portion of her gains in pur-
chasing herself an ounce of tea. She can
live quite as well on less common food,
when she takes her tea along with it, while
she feels lighter, at the same time more
cheerful and filter for her work, because of
the indulgence.

he denounces. John Hampden, the lib
eral republican Of England, would have
drowned himself in the Thames before he
would put his signature to such mass of
Ignorance, falsehood and inconsistence.
The Hampden of history was fair man.
The scribe who has confscated and abused
the name of Hampden In New Orleans
knows nothing about fairness, as a very
short relation will determine. He holds
Governor Warmoth responsible for the
evils of legislation in this State when it is
in evidence, by confession Of the guilty
parties themselves, that Grants friends in
this State controlled and directed fund
designed to be used in bribing the Legis-
lature to enact corrupt and rascally law.
It is in evidence that Grants friends con-
trolled four Senators, and we know not
how many Representatives, by maintain
ing them in official positions in the Gus
tomhouse 1t is in evidence that Grants
friends dominated and overawed a politi-
cal convention with bayonets and cannon,
and that they subsequently attempted to
overthrow the Legislature by the same in
defensible and arbitrary means. Would
John Hampden have allied himself with
any such crew, and pointed to them as
the proper parties. to consort with in re-
forming the government from dishonest
ways and arbitrary practices?
If General Grant can consent to be re-
presented in Louisiana by a man whose
name has been connected with dishonest
measures in the Legislature, and whose
hands have been soiled by bribery funds,
what reason is there to justify the belief
that dishonesty and bribery will not pre-
vail when these men are given full sway in
the State? As Governor Warmoth was
the only obstacle that stood between
Grants friends and the State treasury
and as these friends are now using their
utmost capacity to remove dissatisfaction
By defeating the Governor, what other in
ference can be drawn but that they are
working in the interest of these dishonest
spectators, and that Hampden, in second
ing them, is devoting his meagre ability
to pave the way to their success? Old
John Hampden would blaze with indigna-
ton to think of the manner his name is
being prostituted, if he knew Of it.
