Farmers Boys.-An intelligent and
thrifty farmer says: "But for the CO.
operation of my boys, should have
failed. The eldest is nearly twerty -one,
and other boys in the neighborhood,
younger have left their parents; mine
have stuck to me when | most needed
their services. l attribute this result to
the fact that l have tried to make home
pleasant for them. l have furnished
them with attractive and useful read
ing; and when night comes, and the
days work is ended, instead of running
with other boys to the railroad station
and adjoining towns, they gather around
the great lamp, and become interested
in their books and papers,"

The AnglO-American FURRY.

Paris Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser.
There is much bad blood between the
Americans and English in Paris, grow
ing out of the disputes between their
respective countries. A stalwart Ameri.
can from the South, with an english
friend and two women, had a private
box at the last opera ball. During the
progress of the festivities the two cav
alters got into a dispute over the
Alabama claims, and finally, to the dis
may of their fair companions, proposed
to begin the war there at once. Early
in the combat the American dealt his
antagonist a terrible blow, which dis
located his shoulder. The women
shrieked, the guards burst in the door,
while the victor coolly gave his arm to
the disabled Briton, helped him into a
carriage, and returned, master of the
field and of both the ladies. But per-
haps the strangest part of the story is
yet to be told. The American cham
pion is not only native of the South,
but he was also for four years the most
violent of secessionists. He seems to
be pretty well reconstructed, and the
same may be said of most of the ex-
rebels in Paris. Besides the one above
descr bed, l know three others in the
city, al. of whom in the present crisis
take the most uDcompromising Ameri-
can ground. Another curious fact has
also come to light, and send it to you,
emitting names. About two weeks ago
when war seemed imminent, an Ameri.
can in this city received confidential
letter from a ship-owner in England
offering to sell him one, two, or three
ships, for use as priyateers on English
| commerce That seems to be a more
unselfsh form of neutrality than thai
practiced by Mr.. Laird himself.

ED. VoTER:--As our friend ~. r."
seemed to doubt that the writer of the
article on farming was Farmer, it
may be better to have his mind en-
lightened on that point; and he need
not doubt longer. If he cannot have
faith, he might come and see for him
self. But suppose 1 were not a Farm
er--what then? The figures stand all
the same. But one thing is certain
that if I should lose as great a per
cent. rs our friend represents, l should
not farm another year.
The object in writing was to show
that Farmers do get pay for their
time, if the time be properly en-
ployed. Now, let US see if j. p. has
not omitted an item or two. He gives
the cost for the entire farm, and the
expenses for year, but gives only a
small part Of farming and only part
of the years labor. l wonder how
much he would have to pay for rent
of house and garden, even? Isn't liv-
ing worth anything? Did Ga acres
(Which are all that are accounted for)
cost So, 900?
But to take another view: Take
SO, 900 plus $700-$3, 700; interest will
amount to 1870. But instead Of pay
ing 500 tax, he will pay perhaps sos
on SO, 700, leaving $370--$95=$275 in
come. Now allow him months
work, at $50 per month, giving Sl6O.
Add this to interest minus taxes and
you have $A35. Not enough to buy
dry goods and groceries for his family?
Where are the pork, bread and beans?
Don't you see that there must have
been something omitted, or else he
will come but behind?
And /, as well as every other man.,
know that Farmers do not lose money
all the time. OF course there are fail
ures. In what business are there not?
From statistics we find that not more
than 9 per cent. of those who 60 into
business in New York City ever ac-
quire independence! And who will
affirm that the Farmer has not more
than 2 per cent. of independence all
the time? But have written too much,
and will close by saying
There's no bank like the earth to de-
post your labor;
The more you deposit, the more you
shall have.
II there's more than You want, you
can give to your neighbor;
And your name shall DO dear to the
true ard the brave. X

"DRY READING" we fancy we hear
some lady reader saying, as she CLAN
ces at our Legislative and Congress
ional Summaries. Yes, madam, per-
haps it may be SO for you. But we
believe our voting readers are inter-
ested In IL. At any rate they ought to
be-and you ought to be. And it
costs us really big amount Of work
to read over carefully the dozens OF
solid columns Of Reports in the Dali
lies and condense all the important
matter of interest here into column
or two. We repeat, it costs much
work and time, and is expensive; but
we shall do it faithfully, while the
Legislature and Congress are in ses-
sion--believiDg that one great thing
which the people want in q newspa-
per is neWs, and news Of some worth
and importance-just what we shall
strive to give-something
which really costs money and Is
worth money.
