CoNsIsTENCY.-We are often puzzled
and startled by the conduct of those in
whose piety we thought we might place
undoubting confidence, and whom we
should have pointed out as christian ex-
amples to others. Upon some occasions
they exhibit such appearance of confor-
nifty to the world. as would lead us to
suppose they belonged to it.
How desirable, therefore, that we
should deal faithfully with ourselves, and
see that christian principles pervade our
hearts, and form and fashion our whole
lives Let us cherish tender con.
science. Let us remember whatever units

the fervor of our devotions whatever

A DISCUSSED FARMER PoL1TIcIAN.-
1t is a deplorable thing that politics,
which should be high and noble work,
is so degraded by those who professedly
engage in it, in their disgusting scram-
bles for place and preferment, and the
paltry pelf of Office, that few citizens
who have modesty and self-respect can
mingle in it but so it is. A farmer
who has dabbled in it, and become sick
ened, says:
cit is a curse to any man, who owns
a good farm, as ] do, to get mixed up
in politics. It units him for his real
work, and he is never bettered by it.
Had I devoted my time and energies,
with the same enthusiasm and self deni-
al that l have given to politics, to my
farm, [ should have been a far richer,
more contented, and, certainly hap
pier man. The truth is, [ had no faith
in farming; but the older [ grow the
more clearly I see its certainties as well
as possibilities, and regret the time
wasted.

A touching story of faithful love comes
from Philadelphia. A beautiful young
girl became engaged in SCI to gall
liant officer in the Union army. At the
close of the war he went to California to
seek his fortune. She waited patiently
for his return, feeling confident that he
would yet come back to her. So the
years passed gray hairs began to show
themselves in her brown tresses her
friends no longer ridiculed her, but pit
led her as a monomaniac. Last week
her fidelity was rewarded. The lover of
her girlhood returned from California
bronzed and bearded, millionaire with
wife and twins.

FARMING AssIT Is.-The farmer has
for all times been an individual depend
ent on storm and sunshine and at the same
time often the victim of these very ele
ments which contribute so much to his
prosperity. These things have made
him in reality to feel that he is the
creature of circumstances, and that the
smiles and frowns of heaven have quite
as much, or more to do with his crops
than his individual foresight and labor.
This state of things has been productive
in many instances, of sort of contempt
for agricultural pursuits, sort of dis
couragement that in many cases is cal
culated to drive workers from the farm,
and oftentimes it deters men from enter
ing upon the life of a farmer. We have
known of instances where men have been
ruined by the failure of crop, the pro-
ceeds of which was to have paid mort
gage or some pressing debt. These are
sad realities, but every year they repeat
themselves, and in every case the victim
entitled to the sympathy of US all. It
is not necessary for our purpose to go
into the details Of these failures but
enough for us to understand that they
ora of oonoYoo,, ooorrropoo Owl ILL IL,
fatal defect, as it were, is working great
injury to the agricultural prospects of
the country. Drought, floods, insects
and rot are any Of them fatal and un-
foreseen circumstances in the way of the
prosperity of the farmer, and a visit
from any one of these evils is we'll cal
culated to discourage even the stout heart
ed; but let US look this matter square
ly in the face and see if there is not
some way to avoid in part the difficulty.
A study of this subject convinces most
men that farming after all is one of the
sciences, and as a science it ranks high,
and it is imperative that he who would
attempt to follow this calling must make
up his mind to become student in the
great school where is taught the nature
of not only the soils but the productions
of the soil. Study will not reveal the
fact that every soil can be made pro-
ductlve under nearly all circumstances,
and that to successfully pursue the high
and noble science, we must devote our
selves diligently to the work of prepare
tion
Agriculture is, and always has been,
profitable pursuit, even in the face of
the many drawbacks enumerated. The
farmer has grown rich, while the trades
man has grown poor side by side these
two callings may be judged, and we
leave it to any fair minded man, if the
farmer has not always had better re-
suit, we mean to say, that the same tai
ent. the same energy and the same mon
ey on the farm will, in nine cases out Of
ten, prove the most successful notwith-
standing the many difficulties, and par
ticularly the great waste and wretchedly
bad management of many farmers, We
see steady growth in our agricultural
hopes. The country is growing rich
from the gains made on the farm, and
these gains are the result, not of GOOD
management but from the fact of the
demand made for the products of agri
culture.

THE FARMER-A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.
The man who stands upon his own
soil. who feels that by the laws of the
land he is the rightful, exclusive
owner of the land he tills, is by the con-
stitution of nature, under wholesome
influence, not easily imbibed from any
other source. He feels-other things
being equal-more strongly than an
other, the character of a man, as the
lord Of the animate world. Of this
great and powerful sphere, which, fash
Toned by the hand of God and upheld
by his power, is rolling through the
heavens, portion is his; his from Gen.
ter to the sky. 1t is the space on which
the generation before him moved in its
round of duties and he feels himself
connected, by visible link, with those
who preceded him, as he is also to
those who follow him and to whom he is
to transmit a home. Perhaps his farm
has come down to him from his fathers.
They have gone to their last home but
he can trace their footsteps over the
scenes of his daily labor. The roof
that shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being Some inter-
esting domestic tradition is connected
with every enclosure. The favorite fruit
tree was planted by his fathers hand.
He sported in his boyhood beside the
brook, which still winds through the
meadow. Through the field lies the
path to the village school of earlier days.
He still hears from his window the voice
of the Sabbath bell which called his ia
theirs and fore-fathers to the house OF
God, and near at hand is the spot where
his parents laid down to rest, and where,
when his time has come, he shall be
laid by his children. These are the
feelings of the owners of the soil. Words
cannot paint them, gold cannot buy
them; they flow out of the deepest foun
tain of the heart they are the life spring
of fresh, healthy and generous nation
al character.

preacher, whose custom it was every
Sunday morning, universally, on enter
ing his pulpit to open his wcll-worn
hymn book at random and read the first
hymn that caught his eye. Some wick
cd boys got hold Of the hymn book and
pasted in leaf containing the famous,
bat not very orthodox hymn, cold

Next Sunday morning the good par.
son entered his sanctuary, carefully ad-
justed his spectaeles, picked up his hymn
book and read to the congregation

what Causes Hard Times.

We arc fast becoming a nation Of
schemers to live without genuine work.
Our boys are not learning trades; our
farmers sons are crowding into cities,
looking for clerkships and postoffices.
Hardly one American girl in each hun
dred will do homework for wages, how
ever urgent their needs. So we are
sending to Europe for workmen and
buying of their artisans millions worth
Of products that we ought to make for
ourselves. Though our crop of rascals
is heavy, We do not grow our own hemp;
though we are overrun with lads who
deserve hagellation, we import our own
willows. Our women unless deceived,
shine in European fabrics; our men
dress in foreign clothes; the toys which
amuse our younger children have gen.
orally reached us from over the sea.
We are like the farmer who hires his
ncighbor's sons to cut his wood, feed his
stock, run his crrands, ETC., while his
own boys loung, at the grog shop play
ing billiards, and then wonders why, in
spite of his best efforts, he sinks deeper
into debt, till the sheriff cleans him out,
and he starts West to begin again in life.
We must turn over new Leaf. Our boys
and girls must be taught to love labor
by qualifying themselves to do it eff.
GENTLY. We must grow and fabricate
two hundred millions worth per annum,
that We now import, and SO reduce the
foreign debt that we have SO long and
20 successfully augmented year by year.
We must qualify our clever boys to erect
and run factories, furnaces, rolling mills,
tanneries, machine shops, etc.; to open
and work mines, improve and fashion
implements, and double the product of
their fathers farm. So VIC shall stem
tho tide of debt that sets steadily against
our shores, and cease to be visited and
ANNOYED by hard times.

Instead of the 7th of October, it was
Oa the 7th day of November; that Poe
died. Instead of brain fever, his disease
was ssasia pots, or, in palmer words,
delifixM tremens.
The true story is this: On the LIST day
Of November; 1849, DR.. J. e. Snodgrass,
Of Baltimore, received q letter from .
printer named Walker, stating that . man
claiming Poe's name, and to be acquaint-
Cd with him, was then at q low groggery
in Lombard street, Baltimore, in an evil
dent state of destitution, and 80 far gone
by intoxication Is to be entirely helpless.
Dr.. Snodgrass repaired to the tavern,
which was owned by Cooth & Sergeant,
and found the story communicated to
him by Walker to be only too true.
He called . carriage and had Poe tax
IN to the Washington College hospital,
where he fingered about q week, most Of
that time in an unconscious state, and
died ON the 7th day of November, 1S49.
Poo had in this time but few lucid inter-
walls, in one of which the physician in
formed him that he had but q short time
to live, and that if he had any friends
whom he would like to have summoned,
his wish should be grati6ed.
"Friends, friends !" repeated the er-
ring son of genius, "my best friend
woald be he who would take pistol and
blow out these id wretched brains I"
pressing his hands to his throbbing fore
head Is be uttered the awful imprecation.
He was buried in the Westminster
Presbyterian burial place, Green street,
Baltimore, single carriage following the
hearse. The only persons present were
DR.. Snodgrass, the minister and two 9TH
ers besides the drivers of the hearse and
carriage. DR.. Snodgrass says the n.y.
pothesis of beating is wholly unbound
ed, - no marks or evidences of it were
on his person. Poo had evidently been
on long continued debauch, which re-
suited in his death. This is also corrob-
GRATED by the american Cyr!ecceaaid, and
Rufus y. Griswold's life of Poe. As
truth, however, unwelcome it may be to
some, is always preferable to prevarica-
ton, make this statement in answer to.
the late article in Appleton's Journal which
has been so extensively copied by the
press of the country. A sincere admir-
or Of the genius that could produce the
"Raven," William Wilson" and the
"Gold Bug" would not do the author
the slightest injustice. But much as we
may lament the tragic end of Edgar Al
len Poe, is it not better to accept the tes-
timony of those who knew him best,
and who were with him ut the last, rath-
or than to, at this late day, attempt to
gloss over his imperfections! ! believe
DR.. Shodgrass is still living in Baltimore,
and would corrOborate all that have
said on this subject.
Let all take warning from this sad
event in the history of genius.
