General Hazen went to Europe in 1870 to

did study the subject thoroughly, and COM

OnnRA. By Mrs. Ollphant, author Of CHRONICLES Of
CarlingfoId,r etc. Now York Harper Brothers.
The title of this novel signifies "a shadow"
and il is evident from the first chapter what
is to east the shadow, and where il is to fall ;
but the little drama that will be enacted under
its sombre mantle, is only unfolded by de-
grees, with the skill of a practiced novelist.
Mrs. Oliphant's place as writer Of romance
is an honorable one, and her books contain
but little that is sensational and nothing that
is impure. This one is true to the features Of
English life, which she is SO familiar with and
has often portrayed so well. For sale at

Too MANY Studies at a Time.

There is great deal of truth in the fol-
Iuns:
An ibate Philadelphian father does MT
approve Of the present system OF school
teaching. He declares that it is far below
that in vogue thirty years ago and that il
is making candidates for the insane asylum
and piling up heap of misery in many
FORMS. He desires that there should be
reasonable iioggipg in notwithstanding
with the teachers. One thing which es-
pecially rouses his wrath is the way in
which tired parents are forced to teach
their sleepy children, during the evening,
the lessons which they go to school the
next day merely to recite. He demurs,
and with reason, at doing the mental druid
gerry for which he literally pays others who
are purp0sely fitted for it. 1t is not alone
from Philadelphia that this remmstrance
comes. In all our cities, parents are COM
planning bitterly of the studying at home
to which their children are forced on pain
of falling below Sheir classes. No father
wants to teach school during all his leisure
hours, and no child should be compelled to
spend so much of the day in brain-work.
Fewer studies and strict discipline in the
schools would make sufficient time for the
memorizing of lessons at the desk. 1t is
the great fault of our school system that it
demands that children should occupy them
selves with more studies at one time than
they are able intelligently to master.
The superficial craming in vogue and
mawkish sentimentalism about the switch
are among the school humb,gs of tine day.
And if we may judge from the complaint
of the schools that come up from every
quarter, those of30 years ago were in many
points superior to the schools of to-day.
dtha material is a crying eNalof the sys-

FARM ACCOUNTS.

Now that the years. labors and the year S
profits and losses are almost ready to be
summed UP, how many farmers can tell
how the business of the season sums up?
Whether the balance belongs to the profit
or the loss side of the years accounte How
many of the thousands who draw their sup
port from the soil direct can tell how much
this or that crop has cost? The majority
may tell perhaps the amount of money paid
out ana the amount received; but we have
never met with one who could tell what
each crop had cost and which were profita
BILE and which had brought him in debt.
And while complaining bitterly Of the un-
prolitableness of farming, we have to meet
the man who has given his farm full credit
for what he has received. Let him count
what it would cost if he lived in a town,
to buy all his family consumes, and what
the many privileges he enjoys in the use OF
horses and carriages would amountto il
paid for at a livery stable, and credit the
farm with those. OF the thousands of
"weH to do" people who follow other pur-
suits and dwell in towns and villages, how
many ever earn more than comfortable
subsistence They struggle to make both
ends meet, and suffer vast deal of anxiety
and brain labor TO accomplish even that
One of the greatest wants of the farm is a
proper system Of accounts. This want
supplied. it would 90 far towards systema-
tizing ,eyeE branch of his business. We
venture to say that no other business re-
quirng so much careful management, is as
careleesly pursued as farming in general,
that gives returns equal to the latter. Con,
duct any Other business in as hap-hazard
a manner as pine-tenths of the farming
operations are carried on, and nine cases
out of ten it will run down and play out in
Z very short time.
At the commencement Of the new year
every farmer Who wishes to be forehanded
with his business, and knows exactly what
every branch of his operations, and every
acre of his land is paying him or costing
him, should make an accurate inventory OF
his entire stock III trade, by placing his
land at a reasonable market price Or at its
assessed value; and treat his stock and
produce on hand in the same manner. He
would then have the value of his working
capital. Then let him through the year
charge every thing expended, and credit
every thing received, to the farm: and il
his accounts have been fairly kept, he vii
learn where a great many leaks are tina,
might be stopped; and having discovered
them he will be the more likely TO improve
on his next years operations. There are
II great many advantages enjoyed by the
farmer which he overloolls entirely, anC
gives no credit to his farm for, which woulc
cost him dearly if he was employed in some
other business, where he would be com
PEELED to pay the cash or deny himself and

4 GREAT CHANGE,

1t is matter of astonishment to note the
great change that has apparently taken
place in the politics of the Black Republl-
can Democracy since Greeley has beea SO
effectually shelved. From seeing nothing
but butcher, Il drunkaIJs an inbecile, a
nepotist, tyrant, &c, &c, they have sud-
denly discovered that Gen. Grant is devel-
opiug some admirable traits of character;
that he is capable of acting independently
and periodically too, and is really in true
earnest in regard to Civil Service Reform.
The President might be tempted to exclaim
with the honest Greek: "What great
crime have been guilty of that these PEG
pie should praise me?" Do the office
hunting Democracy contemplate captur
ing Grant at the end of his second term,
and making candidate of him? Such an
their enterprise with Greeley. We would
be glad to attribute this sudden discovery
of virtue in the President, to honest con,
weston or newly acquired faculty to com
prehend what has been so palpably plain to
every unprecedented mind for years. But
we have lea med to suspect the motives of
these men whom we have witnessed so
often eating their own words, and pro-
claiming the very opposite to-day of what
they preached but Il fortnight before. They
exalted Greeley as the very embodiment OF
all wisdom and honesty, a day before the
election, but the votes were hardly counted
till they were bold to declare he was a load
which bore them down and which they
were compelled to shoulder under stress
of circumstances. And now that they
have commenced praising Grant-not that
the Presidents acts are not worthy OF
praise, for such is generally sufficient
reason for wholesale denunciation by them
what NAV we not look for in the way of
professions from these bankrupt office
hunters.
The moral to be drawn from this new
departure is, that honest peoplG should re
ceive with extreme caution any professions
which these men may make in the future.
Not month has passed since they ex
hausted the language in searching for cpl
thets to denounce the President. He has
not changed :; hairs bsedth i'll his course
since then, and yet they profess to have
discovered something in his acts worthy OF
the highest praise. We solemnly exhort
the people to trust these Greeley Democrat
leaders and politicians in nothing they say
lest they be deceived.
