Let Us Consider.

If the end of all just government is the
prosperity, the protection, and the happi-
ness of the people affected thereby, it be-
comes the thoughtful men who have to do
with the making of Presidents and the
creation of power, to apply to the contest
now going on in this country for suprem-
acy in the conduct of the government,
such plain principles of common sense as
ought, and it SENS to us must, come up
permost in the consideration of the vast
interests involved in the result of the
Presidential struggle. Let the great con-
Germs which are inextricably connected
with the result of this contest be alone
considered, and the insignifcance of the
persons who figure prominently therein
will at once be apparent. 1t is of little
whom they have been in the habit of look
ing upon as a favorite or otherwise be
chosen to shape the policies and admins
ter the laws under which they must
abide; but it is of the utmost consequence
that he be endowed with qualities of char
acter which will secure the confidence
not less of our own, than of the govern
ments of the whole world, and particular
ly of the financial kingdoms upon whose
aid and cooperation the credit of the
country is largely dependent.
1t needs but thoughtful review of the
characteristics of Mr.. Horace Greeley to
show his utter lack of the qualities which
inspire confidence in ruler, or produce
stability in a government. His public
life has been made up of the strangest
contradictions, and his public utterances
OF the widest theories. There is scarcely
any topic of political economy that he
has not written essays upon, and the
most he has accomplished is to turn
against his views the batteries of r1dicule
and contempt. What he knows about
farming is of not more value than what
he knows about tax laws and the tariff.
We do not hesitate to predict that had
the views of Mr.. Greeley been adopted
prior to and during the war, the United
States would to-day have been M6xican
Republic on larger scale, and with IN
tenser dissensions. Doing more with his
pen and paper than any other man, or any
other agency, to incite the rebellion, he
was the first man in the country to CRY
out against the prosecution of the war he
brought about, and he argued persistently
and heatedly in favor Of permitting ou1
"erring sisters to depart in peace" 1t is
needless to add that the policy here ad.
vised would have resulted in an entire
disruption of the Republic If twelve
States were privileged to withdraw from
the Union at their own time and upon
their own terms, six might do the same
or three, or one and such would have
been the result.
Mr.. Greeley was the strongest aidel
and abettor of the withou
meaning to be so-in the North. He wa!
constantly uneasy-constantly clamOrins
Tor some change-constantly urging SOM
new experiment. He advised with regard
to the conduct of this government yer.

When to Cut Wheat.

THE usual practice among farmers is, to
let wheat stand, before it is cut, until the
straw is entirely changed in color from
green TO yellow and the grain has become
hard and nearly or quite dry. Numerous
experiments have been made in this
country, but more particularly in En-
gland, to determine at what period of
ripeness it is best to cut wheat, having in
view the greatest yield of grain and it of
the best quality. 1t is well known to
those who have investigated the subject,
that the ripening of the seed consists en-
tirely of chemical processes, which we
cannot here attempt to explain, that are
of importance to be considered in order
to make the most of the crop after it has
been grown. The immature grain of
wheat, in its early stage, is found to be
filled with a milky fluid, which gradually
changes in consistence from this milky
state to one more firm and solid. These
experiments have been instituted to de-
termine with accuracy at what period of
this change the grain should be harvested
to secure the greatest advantages. The
unanimous opinion appears to be, that if
grain is cut soon after the straw has
turned yellow below the head, while the
lower part of the stem is still green and
the seed yet remains III soft and doughy
state, the grain will weigh more to the
bushel and yield a greater amount from a
given space of ground; that more and bet
ter flour is made from it; it is relished
better and is more nutritious than if the
grain was allowed 10 stand until il be-
came fully ripe.
These experiments have been so fire.
quently made and with such uniform re-
suits, that we feel unwilling to let the
coming harvest pass without again re-
minding our readers of the fact. A very
careful series of experiments of this char
acter was made some years ago in York
shire, England, by Mr.. John Hannah,
and he sums up the loss by Smelling and
in the weight and quality of the grain
through letting it stand until fully ripe,
as equal to Sc per acre-a sum, or even
half of 1t, not to be lost sight of by the
farmer Rural World.

WASTED INGENUITY the
French artifcer, made a chain of two
hundred links, with its paddock and key,
all weighing together less than the third
part of grain. He was also the maker
of landau, which opened and shut by
springs. This miniature equipage, with
six horses attached to it, coachman
seated on the box, with a dog between
his legs, four inside and four outside
passengers, position riding one of the
four horses, was drawn with all the ease
and safety imaginable by a well-trained
flea. The inventor and executor of this
puerile machine bestowed on it probably
as much time as would have sufficed to
produce Watts fireengine or Mongofier's
balloon.

PERRY DAVIS PAIN KMLER.-Thirty years
have elapsed since the introduction of Davis
Pain Killer to the public, and yet at the
present time it is more popular and COM
mands a larger sale than ever before. Its
popularity is not confined to this country
alone; all over the world its beneficial effects
in curing the ills that flesh is heir to-" are
acknowledged and appreciated, and as a Pain
Killer its fame is limited to no country, sect
or race, has never been equaled by any medi-
cine in Europe or America. 1t is sold by all
medicine dealers.

Rat-tatl Sharp and quick is sounded,
like the knock of man in hurry.
Rattatl
1t was the postman. 'NIiss Arabella
Smithson? why, it is for me-" said the lit
tie matron to the trim little servant who
had answered the door, "and Johns writ
ing, too. What can be the matters"
my DEAR ARABELLA: Thinking you would be
dull to-day, have decided to bring some one to
dinner-some one you know well, an old and true
tell you in confidence it isn't every day he gets
such cozy little dinner you can give him IL you
like. Your loving husband, JoHN.
y
From that time up till $50 p. m, hustle
and commotion, and high jinks in the
cooking line, reigned supreme in the trim
little villa. And when the appointed
hour came, it was with an exultant, albeit
a slightly flushed face (at the thought of
the gastronomic triumph in store for 1.-The
old and true friend" whom her husband
was to bring home), that Arabella ran to
the door to answer her husbands knock.
For, let me say in whisper, this was an
office she had not learned to delegate to
the trim little servant.
When the door opened, there stood
John, radiant, smiling, but-alone!
"Why, john" said Arabella, 'where is
hep"
"He, my dear? Who?"
"Why, the gentleman"
"Here he is, my dear" answered John,
demurely.
"What, you?"
"Yes-none other"
"But you said l knew him WE'LL" con-
tinued Arabella, nearly crying.
"Well, don't your" asked John, with a
sly twinkle in his eye.
"And he was an old and true friend"
Arabella went on.
"Well, isn't he?'
ooh, John, it is too bad, you-you-
wicked -" and here Arabella fairly
broke down, and burst into tears.
OF course, things smoothed themselves
out after awhile; John presided at the
dinner, which was to have astonished
"the old and true FRIEND" and Arabella
sat at the foot of the table. There can be
no doubt that fellow John enjoyed the
cozy little dinner he had obtained under
such outrageously false pretenses; but it is
a question whether Arabella has forgiven
him the fraud he practiced to this very
day.-,Jldy.
