9. C. Keith, Audubon county; and
Barlow Granger, w. H. Mccoy and

ways for true Democratic statesmen
for President and Vice President. e.
j. Sewers was chosen chairman of the

A Royal Race.


Among the fine old kings that reign
TIroa q simple wooden throne,
There's one with but small domain
But, mark you, it is all his own.
And though upon his rustic towers
No ancient standard waves its wing,
Thick, leafy banners flushed with flowers
From all the fragrant easements SWING.
Ard here, in royal homespun, bow,
His nut-brown court ut night and morn
The bronzed Field Marshal Of the Plough,
The Chancellor of Wheat and Corn.
The Keeper of the Golden Stacks,
The mistress Of the Milking Pal,
The bold Knights of the Ringing, Axe
The Herslds of the Sounding Flall.
The Ladies of the New Mown Hay,
The Master of the Spade and Hoe,
The Minstrels of the Glorious Lay,
That all the Sons of Freedom know.
And thus, while on the seasons roll,
He wins from the inspiring sod
The brawny arm and noble soul
That serve his country and his God.

DISCOVERY OF A CAvE.-On last Sunday a
narty of bows from town discovered cave on
The south bauk of the Rappahannock river
about four miles above the dam. They repre-
sent it to contain seven complete apartments.
The rooms are on the right and LETT, and are
separated BY stone walls, and connected by
small doors or apertures. These apartments
are represented to be about five feet high and
five feet square. We have no doubt this place
was rendezvous during the war for desertels
and skulkers. -Frcde,lcksJarg Star.

How Moner is Made br Farming.

Much labor is done on farms thai
is not farming In It's true SENSE. BY
such labor no money is ever made.
A mai may support himself and his
family, keep out of debt, and have a
few dollars in his pocket by practic-
ing the most stringent economy. IF
he Is otherwise than industrious and
sober, he is ON the down grade with
loose brakes, and the end is not
reached But farming IN It's true
sense is a profession equal In digni-
ty to that of law or medicine, and
needs equal study, mental capacity,
AM inteliigeEtly directed labor to
comm and success in it.
The pTinci, lie which underlies the
practice of the true farmer must be
well understood and steady, con-
sistent courss of operations must be
followed. Having thoroughly learn
ed the nature and capacity of the
soil he possesses, and chosen the ro-
tatiOn most suitable, and the stock
to be most proftably kept upon it
he does not swerYe from his chosen
course, but in good markets and bad
raises his regular crops, and keeps
his land in regular increasing fertili-
ty. No special cry tempts or fright
ems him. He does not talk dairy
this season or crops the next; but
doubtless if any pal 5icular product
be in demand and brings a good
price he has some of it to sell and
reaps his share of the advantage.
He saves as much money as some
men who mako by care and econo-
my, purchasing and preserving to Is,
seeds, manure and machines; and
his business habits and constant
readiness for ali occasions give him
reasonable security against the Of
fecis of adverse seasons aud bad
weather. Always prepared, he is
never too late, and alwgys calm, he
is never too soon, and thus, Htuking
time by the forelock," he has the
stern old tyrant at his command,
and turns him at his will. He has
no losses. and his gains are steady
