This eve recurring question,
What shall we do?" has yet re-
ceiyed no satisfactory ansEer. Ma
nv of our Jealous farmers have sug'

them tell you "Corn does not pay,
Wheat does not pay, and each
will suggest some substitute that

sheep" says one. Plant ground
peas" says a second or Potatoes
saws a third. "Set ont an orchrad, "
Plant strawberries and the
smaller fruits for the markets, "
go to trucking generally. "Cul-
tiyate small farms and make them
rich" All this may be very good
advice in its way, but it is obvious
it falls far short Of the needs OF a
great agricultural community, with
boundless extent Of territory
and without capital Of labor to cul,
tivate it.

Devise Liberal Things.

Southern people ale p~royerbially
largs-hearted and whole-souled.
They are SO in the best and fullest
sense of the term. Usually hospita-
Die and generous, they need only
have their feelings enlisted, and
there i nothing too much to do for
the one in whose behalf the appeal
is made. We ask them now to
help themselves in helping others.
Our idea is this. There are hun
dreds and thousands of acres of
good land all over the South, belong
ing to the people which they would
gladly sell or dispose Of, if they knew
how. We suggest that the owners
of such lands devise schemes for Of
feriug especial inducements to at
tract s~4ttlers to come in and make
themselves homes. How can this
be done2 Not easily alone, or by in
dividual effort. But a member in a
neighborhood could organize a land
company, raise a joint fund to carry
out this plan, have the lands survey
ed, mapped, described, then, either
of itself, or through some regularly
organized and responsible immigra'
ton company, advertise the scheme
Offering to donate certain lots fol
certain purposes, and actually t.
give away so many lots to the frs
or most meritous settlers, and tax
steps to carry the plan into effect
1t can be done. IL has been done
1t is, in brief, the colonization schem
which has been eminently successful
in some of the Northwestern States
If it can succeedlthere, it assured

and our word for it, the success vii
be most gratifying. Organize faC

Who will bell the catP Who is
daring enough to be the first to do
a wise thing? Only some eccentric
person. There are no people who
can more fully justify their right Of
being ON the earth than eccentric

know how we should ever get any

Opium Smoking.

A recent French medical journal
contains'sn interesting paper on
opium smoking. The habit so pre-
valent in China has been introduced
in France, and it is stated that o club
OF young men has been formed in
Paris for the purpose Of indulging
in this dangerous practice. The
habit subjects the beginner to seri-
GUS inconvenience, such as nausea,
vomiting, giddiness, and violent
headache. The opium for the pipe
is prepared according to secret for
mu!as, and acquires a semi-Auid con-
sistency resembling a dense oil, pos
sesses a sweet tas.e, and has the ap-
pearance Of extract Of juniper. The
dose Tor a days smoking, in the be-
ginning, amounts to one hundred
and fifty grains. The effects of this
drug are to excite in the smoker first
loquacity and next stupid JOY, end
ing in a profound slumber, lasting
for several hours, during which the
pulse falls very low. The opium
smoker becomes indolent, losses the
inclination for work, and at las
ends ~ o confirmed idiot. In the
lattay condition the opium smoker
has no appetite for food, becomes
very lean, and his complexion as
sumes a peculiar hue.

Voices Of the Loved Ones.

In he mountains ofthe Tyrol it is
the custom OF the women and chill
dren to come out when it is bedtime
to sing their national songs until
they hear their husbands, fathers
and brothers answer them from the
hills OIL their return home, On the
shores of the Adriatic such q GUS
tom prevails. There the wives OF
the fisherman come down about sun
set and sing a melody. After sing
ing the first stanza they listen
awhile from the answering strain
from off the wafer, and continue to
sing and listen till the well-known
voices come borne on the tide, tell
ing that the loved ones are almost
home. How sweet to the weary fsh-
ermen, as the shadows gather round
them, must be the songs Of the loved
ones at home, who sing to cheer him
and how they strengthen and tight
en- the bonds that bind together
these humble dwellers by the sea
Truly, it is among the lowly in this
world that we find some of the most
beautiful customs in practice.
