MASONIC HALL FAIR.-The fair for the
House OF the Good Shepherd, postponed On
the fifth instant on account Of several mis-
cradle circumstances, will reopen this even
ing in Masonic Hall. 1t is hoped that it
will be we'll patronizod, as the object is IN
questionably an excellent one. Kind ladies
have interested themselves, and will devote
their time freely to assist the noble under
taking. Gentlemen are called on to visit
the hall nightly, and by their presence aid
all they possibly can.
An interesting programme has been laid
cut, sufficiently enticing to draw good au-
dieneeg. Let this fact be remembered.

Mem Of Few words.

Some men use words as riHemcn
use bullets. They say but little,
The few words used so right to the
mark. They let you talk, and guide
with their eyes and face, on and on,
till what You say can be answered in
a word or two, and then they lanch
out a sentence, pierce the matter to
the Quick, and are lone. Your con
versation falls into deep chasm,
and is lost from sight by its depth
and darkness. They will sometimes
surprise with a few words, that go to
the mark like a gunshot, and then
they are silent again, as ii they were
reloading. Such men are safe cOun-
sellors, and true friends where they
profess to be such. To them truth
is more valuable than gold, while
pretension is too gauzy to deceive
them. Words without point TO
them, are like titles without merit,
only betfaying the weakness of the
blinded dupes who are ever used as
of other mems schemes.

Cirrnmstantial Evidence.

The London Globe publishes a
statement which is an illustration OF
the danger of relying upon cireum-
stantial evidence, even when it APP
proaches positiyeness. A gentle
man went to the British Museum
with an order to have q case opened
containing some valuable medals,
for his inspection. He examined a
particular medal, which was sup
posed to be unique, restored it to
the tray, and after talking some
time with the custodian, was about
to leave, when the latter discovered
that the medal was missing.
It was searched for everywhere,
and could not be found, when it was
suggested that the pockets of the
visitor should be examined. To
this he objected, and a policeman
was sent for. However, before he
arrived, the medal was found to
have slipped between the tray and
the bottom of the case. When
asked why he refused TO be searched,
the supposed culprIt drew a medal
from his pocket, the exact counter
part Of that which was in the case,
and remarked that his object had
been to verify the authenticity of
his own, which, being identical
with the missing one, and discov-
cred in his pocket would at once
have convicted him of the then.

Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to SANDERS gos-
sip mongers. Keep straight on
your course, and let their hack -bi
ting die the death Of neglect. What
is the use OF lying awake nights
brooding over the remark of some
false friend that runs through your
brain like forked lightning. What
as the use of getting into worry
and fret over a gossip that has
been set afiOat TO your disadvantage
by some meddlesOIne busy body
that has more time than character.
These things cannot possibly In
jure you, unless, indeed, YOU take
notice Of them, and in combating
them give them character and
standing. IL what is said about
you is true, set yourself right at

Farming,

The farmer has for all times been
an individual dependent upon storm
and suashine at the same time; Oft
en- the victim of those very elements
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 of Heaven have
quite as much or more to do with
his crop than his individual fore
thought or labor. This state of
things has been productive in many
Instances of q sort of contempt for
agricultural pursuits, a sort of dis
cOuragement that in many cases is
calculated to drive wOrkmen from
the farm, and oftentimes it deters
men from entering upon the life of
a farmer. We have known of rin-
stances where men have been ruined
by the failure of a crop, the pro-
ceeds of which were to have paid a
mortgage or some pressing debt.
These are sad realities, but every
year they repeat themselves, and in
each case the victim is entitled to
the sympathy of us all. 1t is not
necessary for our purpose tn 60 in
to details of these failures, but
enough for US to understand that
they are of common occurrence, and
that this fatal defect, as it were, is
working great injury to the agricul-
tural prospects of the country.
Drought, floods, insects and rot are
any Of them fatal and unforeseen
circumstances in the way of the
prosperity Of the farmer, and visit
from any one of these evils is we'll
calculated to discourage even the
stout hearted; but let us look this
matter squarely 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 q science
it ranks high, and it is imperative
that he who would attempt follow
ing this calling must make up his
mind to become a student in the
great school where is taught the ma
ture of not only the soils, but OF the
productions of the soil. Study will
reveal the fact that every soil can
be made productive under nearly all
circumstances, and that to success
fully pursue the high and noble sci
euce we must devote ourselves dill
gently to the work of preparation.
Agriculture is, and always has
been, & profitable pursuit, even in
the face Of the many drawbacks emu
merated. The farmer has grown
rich while the tradesman 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 a better result;
We mean to say that the same ener-
gy and the same money on the farm
will, in nine cases out of ten, prove
the most successful Notwithstand-
ing the many difficulties, and par
ticularly the great waste and wretch
edly bad management of many
farmers, We see a steady growth IN
our agricultural hopes. The coun
try is growing rich from the gains
made on the farm, and these gains
are the result, not of good manage
ment, but from the fact of the de-
mand for products of agriculture.

Grape SyFup.

To the other products of grapes
we see that of syrup added. ATr.
VIM. Dunstene, of Wyandotte, Cali
fornia, writes to the editor of the
San Jose Agriculturist as follows:
81 have sent TO your address a
keg of our grape syrup. first
tasted syrup made from grapes in
the fall of 1870, which was made in
this vicinity. We made our first
experiment last fall. The keg
send you is a sample of the result.
We made no measurement, but esti-
mated the juice at ninety and the
syrup at thirty gallons. The grapes
were from old vines of the common
wine variety, not irrigated. They
were not we'll ripened; there were
many green ores among them. The
juice was bottled in an iron kettle of
about fourteen gallons capacity.
We found it better to keep the
scum well skinned of, and to con
time the boiling without cessation
until boiled enough; which my
wife judged by taste and appear
aHcc, not quantity. We use the
syrup constantly at the table IN
stead Of the common syrup from
the stores. To us the flavor of the
former is quite SUPERIOR,

The New York Herald remarks
editOriaIly: The most thorough
shuflling of the political pack that
this age has ever seen was exhibit
ted at the Greeley Jubilee at Chap
paqua y csterday, when the Southern
members Of the Democratic Nation
al Committee made visit to uor-
ace Greeley. There was Duke
GwiB, of Sonora, arm and arm with
Francis w. Baird, OF Boston; Gen.
Chalmers, of Johnson's old army.
hObnObbing in lemonade with Gen.
Stephen G. Burbridgc, OF Kentucky;
ex-Postmaster General Reagan, Of
the ex-confederacy, in social dis
cussiOn with Theodore Tilton, and
the representative old secesh' OF
the South, shaking hands indeed
across the bloody chasm' with the
representative old abolition agita-
tors OF the North. Is there not
something suggestive beyond the
mere notion Of a political dodge in
all this? Is il not, indeed, a type
of that true reunion where old er-
rors and troubles, even those ghast-
Is ones that led 30 civil war, may be
reviewed in a friendly manner, with
concession and pardon on both
sides, ready 70 smooth over all re-
curing anger? The political mil

An Item Every Man Should Read.

Never use a lady's name in an i'm
proper place. at an improper time or
in mixed company.
Never make any assertion about
her that you think are untrue, or al
lusions that you feel that she would
blush to hear.
When you meet mon who DO not
scruple to make use of woman's fair
Rame in wreckless and unprinci-
pied manner, shun them, for they
are the very worst members of the
community men lost to every feel
ing of humanity.
Many a good woman's character
has been ruined and her heart brok-
en-, by lie, manufactured by some
villisn and repeated where it should
not have been, and in the presence Of
those whase little judgement could
not deter them from circulating the
foul and Dragging report. A Sian
der is soon propagated, aud the
smallest thing deregatOry to wo-
mans character will fy on the wings
of the wind and magnify as it circu-
lates, until its monstrOus weight
crushes the poor, unfortunate vic
tim.
Respect the name Of woman, for
your mother, and as YOU would have
their name untarnished and their
lives unembittered BY the SANDER
er's tongue, heed the iii that your
words may bring upon the mother,
or sister, or the wife Of some fellow
creature.

Glte 9amiIg Cirtte.



Marriage is to a woman at once
the happiest and the saddcst event
of her life; it is the promise of fu-
Uure bliss raised on the death Of all
present enjoyment. She quits her
home, her parents, her companions,
her occupations, her amusements-
everything on which she has hisher-
to depended for comfort, for atfec-
ton, for pleasure. The parents by
whose advice she has been guided;
the sister, to whom she dared to i'm
part every embryo thought and feel
ing; the brother who has played
with her, by turns the cOunseled; {;
and the counselor and the younger
children, to whom she has hitherto
been the mother and the playmate
all are to be forsaken at one fell
stroke: every former tie is loonsen-
ed, the spring of every hope and
action is to be changed, and yet she
flies with joy into the untrodden
path before her. BuOyed up by the
confidence of requited love, she bids
fond and grateful adieu to the life
thatis past; and turns with excited
hopes and Joyous anticipatiOns to
the happiness to come. Then woe
totheman who can blight such fair
hOpes-who can treacherously lure
such a heart from its peaceful enjoy
ment and the watchfHl protection at
home-who can, cOward-like, break
the illusions that have won her, and
DESTROYED the confidence wh:ch love
had inspired. AID, more than ali,
tenfold misery should be the portion
of him who gains the affections of a
trusting woman by appearing 10 be
better than he is, and suffers future
time to develop his bad qualities af-
ter her fate is irrevocable linked
with his.

a PrOposed Amendment.

The New York World, imam elab-
Orate article, urges the adoption of
the constitutional amendment pro-
posed by Senator Sumner toward
the close of the last session of Con
gress. As the attention of our
readers was probably, like the at
tention of the members Of Congress,
too much engFossed with other and
exciting topics at the time to admit
of their taking much note of the
preamble and resolutions Of the
Massachusetts Senator, 1t may be
well to give their substance. AIr.
Sumner proposes, then, that the
present system Of cieeting the Pres
ident of the United States shall be
abolished; that In lieu thereof the
people shall vote directly for Chief
Magistrate, and that the candidate
receiving a majority of ell the votes
cast shall be declared by Congress
elected. For this purpose two elec
tions are provided for, the first on
the first Monday in April, and the
second on the second Tuesday of
October. Congress is to be in ses-
sion on the Sd Of May, after the
first election, to eount the vote, and
if it is found that no candidate has
received a majority OF the whole,
the second election is to be
ordered, when a plurality will be
sufficient to elect. In addition to
this there is n clause declaring the
President ineligible TO a second
term, and another abOlishing the
office of Vice President. If a va
cancy should occur in the Presiden-
CIV the Cabinet officer who is oldest
in years is to be temporary Presi-
dent, but if there are no Cabinet Of
fcers, the Senator who is oldest in
years; and it is TO be the duty of
this temporary President to convene
Congress in extra session within
thirty days, when the members of
the two houses are to meet together
and elect President, each member
casting one vote.
Several arguments are adduced in
support of the proposed change.
One of them is that the people, as
things now are, have really no voice
in the selection of their highest ,ex-
ecutive officer; second is that the
electors are mere dummies, who
have no choice; a third is that the
are brought ont by the
caucus nominations OF parties which
are often controlled by corrupt
agencies; and a fourth is that the
existing system gives the President
almost Irresistible facilities for get
ting himself re- elected COuT. Jour.
