Agriculture is and always has
been a profitable pursuit, even in
the face of the many drawbacks
enumerated. The farmer has grown
rich while the tradesman has grown
poor; side by side these two call
ings msy be judged, and we leave it
to any fair-minded man, if the farm
er has not always had a better result.
We mean TO say that the same tai
ent, the same energy and the same
money on the farm will, in nine
cases out of ten, prove the most suc-
cessful, Notwithstanding the many
difficulties, and particularly The
great waste and wretchedly had
management of many farmers. we
see a steady growth in our agrieul-
tural hopes. The country is grow
ing rich from the gains made on the
farm, and these gains are the resuIt
not of good management but from
the fact of the demand made for tLa
products of agriculture.

An Item For Boys.

It's not necessary that boy who
learns trade should follow it all
his life. Gov. Palmer, of Illinois,
was a country blacksmith once, and
began his political career in Macou-
pin county. A circuit judge in the
centarl part of Illinois was a tailor.
Thos. Hoyne, q rich and eminent
lawyer of Illinois, was once a book
binder. Erastus Corning, of New
York, too lame to do hard labor.
commenced as a shopboy in Albany.
When he applied for employment
first he was asked: 'fwhy, my little
boy, what can you do?'' ssCan do
what l am bid" was the answer,
which secured him a place. Thur
low Weed was a canal-boat driver,
Ex-Gov. Stone, of Iowa, a cabinet
maker, which trade the late Hon.
Shephen a. Douglas also worked at
in his youth. Large numbers of
men of prominence now living have
risen from humble life, by dint of
industry, without which talent is as
gold coin on a barren island.
Work alone makes men bright. and
it does not alone depend on the kind
of work you have whether you rise
or not; it depends on how you do il.

Precious.

Louisville rejoices in the posses
sion of precious fOur-year oldster-
who. being placed in a closet by his
father the other day for rdisobedience
ofpsternal authority, instead of cry-
ing, put his wits to work to get out.
Calling to his father TO come in and
see what he had found, the unsus-
pecting paterfamilias walked in,
while the four-year-old slipped out
and quickly turned the KEY, leaving
him to sweat it out. Presently the
youngster called TO his pa to know
if it was hot in there; nor did he let
his prisoner out until he replied in
the Affirmative.

sInRuIar FrIenaship.

A doe in a public park in Louis
vile, KY, has a constant and insep-
parable companion in a little black
dog, which manifests for il the most
singular affection. When the doe
moves about the dog goes with il;
when it lies down the dog nestleS
closely by its side; and continually
licks, fondles, and plays withitas il
it were one of its own species. And
at times this little black dog assumes
the guardianship of her deership,
and protects her against every ap-
proach. When the doe, now about
one year old was carried TO the park ,
the dog refused to be deferred from
following, and there he stays.

Stone Mountain, about 10 miles
east of Atlanta Georgia. is one of
the greatest natural curiosIties in
the Southern States. II is eompos-
ed exclusively of granite, said to be
much finer in appearance than the
Illinois granite. Since the war the
mountain has been converted into a
quarry, and the stone is in great de-
mand. A large capital has been in

the finest building material in the
country brought TO light. Car loads
are daily dispatched TO New Orleans,

TO points as far north as Memphis,
Louisville, Cincinnati and st LOnis.

How ChHdrsn suffer From Fear.
No pain is more dreadful to en-
dure than rear. Few parents realize
how much their children suffer from
this cause. "There is nothing to
hurt you," is an assurance which
does not allay the apprehension. An
underlined something, existing often
only in the Imagination, is the oc-
casion of just as real suffering as a
most tangible evil could be. This
suffering from fear has much to do
with the almost universal dislike

A singular Man.

An eccentric Irish character named
Mortimer, died lately in London,
whose universal genius and attain
ments entitle him to some notice.
He was about fifty years of age, and
as odd a character as could be met.
He was small, but firmly knit, gen.
orally wore q white hat and a dress
coat, and always had an old volume
under his arm. He was confirmed
bookworm, and MezzOfanto was
hardly amore accomplished linguist.
He was a graduate Of the Universi-
ty of Dublin, and deeply Yersed in
classic lore, but he added polish TO
his erudition by his intimacy with
at least a dozen modern tongues
speaking French, German, Russian,
POloish, Spanish, italian, modern
Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Irish Welch
aud Danish with fluency.
~ his youth he had been cabin
boy in an American bark, aud sub
sequently became q medical student

June insurrection of '4S. He was a
very strong man, and at one time
utilized his strength by taking an
engagement as a Hercules in a circus
in Australia. By turns he gave lee

Hamburg, had a troupe of Spanish

The WORLDS WoRK.-Our ex-
ternal liyes are not made Of great
occasions, and our greatness is not
in superhuman and exhaustive ef-
fort, but in gradual growth, and
this is nOurished by little friendly
acts and sacrifices which call into
exercise every faculty OF soul and
sense; and the lives which most de-
serve to be called sublime are those
of which the world and history take
little account. The lives of meIl
and women are, for the most part,
commonplace, and we could not af-
ford to have il otherwise. If all OF
them were reaching after occasions
of rendering themselves sublime +,
how would the worlds work bs
done? The worlds work is tire
some, perplexing, uncongenial, and
sometimes, and for some people OF
necessity, il is very disagreeablG
and menial service; vet in the spirit
in which this work may be conceived
and carried forward TO the end,

secration, be the end ever so hum

Home Influence.

The influences of home perpetu-
ate themselves. The gentle grace of

| long after her head is pillOWed in

ness finds its echo in the nobility
and courtesy Of sons who come to
wear his mantle and to fill his place;
while on the other hand, from an
unhappy, mis-governed and disor-
/ dered home, 90 forth persons who

sadness, the contentious and strifes
and ratings, which have made their
own early lives so wretched and dis

Toward the cheerful home the
lchildren gather las clouds and as
I doves to their windows;" while
from the home which is the abode Of
| discomfort and strife and trouble
they fly forth as vulturcs 10 rehd

The class of men that disturb and

not those born and nurtured amid

homes: but rather those whose ear

Rioh wis1lout Money.

Many a man is rich without nIO-
ney. Thousands of men with moth
ing in their pockets are rich. a
man born with good sound consti--
tuition, good stomach, a good heart
and good limbs, and a pretty good
head piece is rich. Good bones are
better that gold; tough muscles bet
ter Than silver; and nerves that
flash fire and carry energy TO every
function, are better than houses or
land. IL is better than a landed es-
tate to have the right kind Of a IA
ther and mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as real
" as among herds and horses Ed
ucation may do much to check evil
tendencies, or develop good ones,
but IL is greater thing to inherit
the right proportion of faculties 10
start with. The man is rich who
has a good disposition who is nat
urally kind, patient, cheerful, hope
ful, and who has a flavor OF wit and
fun in his composition. The hard
est thing to get on with in this life
is a mans own self. A cross, sell
fish fellow desponding aud COM
planning fellow-a timid and caro-
burdened man--these are all bOrII
deformed on the inside. Their feet
do not limp but their thoughts do.

Singular Use of a Newspaper.

The advantages of newspapers are
every day developed, and new and un-
suspected uses for them are discovered.
Witness what befel a gentleman md his
wife recently in the Holy Land. While
they were travelling toward Jerusalem,
they were beset by bandits, and robbed
not only of their money and baggage,
but even of the clothes in which they
were standing, or rather kneeling, for
mercy. What were they to do? If they
had been going to the Garden of Eden
it would have been all we'll enough but
how were they to enter the ancient city
of the Lord in state of primitive mud

begged back from the plunderers copy

such lack beforep For they received
not only the usual copy of the great
journal, but it so happened that there
was supplement, which was just the
thing for the lady Thus clothed with
advertisements, leading articles, foreign
correspondence, the money market, and

A New Departure IN MEDICINE

A New DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are "new departures" in medicine,
as well as in politics. The latest and
most successful of these is the bold move
ment of DIR. Joseph Walker, of California,
who has actually had the effrentery to
produce Vegetable Tonic and Restora-
tive, without any alcoholic basis, which
is curing disorders of the stomach, liver,
bowels, nerves and pulmonary organs,
with rapidity that fairly entities him
to the anathemas of the Old School of
Physicians, and the praise and conf
dence of the New His CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs may be safely pro-
nounced the most popular remedy of the
age. When it is considered that this
now famous specific was introduced some
two years ago, its present sale, which is
at the rate Of 100000 bottles per an
mum, can only be ascribcd to its intrinsic
merits. 1t is believed that the history
Of "patent medicines" afford no example
of success SO rapid and complete. The
community insists that this success is
thoroughly deserved, and we have no
inclination to dispute its dictum. The
Voice of the People, if not exactly that
of Omnipotence, is generally the voice
of Common Sense, and as they have had
ample time to take sober second thought
on the subject, it may be assumed that
in this instance, their opinion is credita-
BILE to their sagacity.

Use of Fruit.

Instead of standing in fear of gener-
GUS consumption of ripe fruit, one should
regard it as decidedly conducive to
health. The very diseases, says the
Country Gentleman, commonly assumed
to have their origin in the free use of all
kinds of berries, apples, peaches, pears,
cherries, and melons, have been quite as
prevalent, if not equally destructive, in
seasons of scarcity. There are so many
erroneous notions entertained of the bad
effect of fruit that it is quite time coun-
teracting impression should be promul-
gated, having its foundation in common
sense and based on the common obser-
walton of the intelligent. No one ever
lived longer, or freer from the attacks of
disease, by discarding the delicious
fruits of our country. On the contrary,
they are very essential to the preserva-
ton of health, and are therefore given
to us at the time when the condition of
the body, operated upon by deteriora-
ting causes not always comprehended,
requires their grateful, renovating infiu-
ences. Unripe fruit may cause Illness
but fresh, ripe fruit is always healthful
