The Western Farmers CRIES.

If we are asked whether we mean to
say that there is nothing in the western
farmers complaint that third of their
crop is consumed in getting it to mar
ket, we answer that there is something
IN 1t, but apparently not what they i'm
agine. IL we are asked, farther, whetb-
er it is not horrible thing that corn
should be used as a fuel in Iowa when
so many millions of people all over the
world are short of food, we reply also
that we do not see anything particular
ly horrible about it. Distance ia one
OF the facts of nature to be accented
and dealt with like other facts of ma
internationally. If a man chooses TO
go out into the wilderness without
roads, wagons, or any other means of
reaching a market, and plant ten times
as much corn as he and his family can
consume, and then, in the fall, begins
to wall and lament because he cannot
find a purchaser for it, nobody pays
any attention to him, or people content
themselves with telling him that he
ought to have bethought himself of the
market before he built his house or put
IN his crop. If he begins to weep and
asks whether he must use it for fuel.
they tell him unhesitatingly that it is
his duty and privilege to do so, if he
cannot turn it into any better account
that he is no more bound TO trouble
himself about the starving poor in Eng
land, and India, and China, than about
the houseless poor in New York. when
he is surrounded by leagues of trees.
If he were still to refuse to be comforted.
and were TO maintain that large num.
hes of industrious people in the east
and in England, ought to club their sa-
wings and cut wagon-road to his
house, load up his corn, and cart it of
rs far east as may be necessary to Sc
cure him fair price for it, we should
simply laugh and walk off And VET
the foregoing would be, with few tri.
fling changes, fair statement of the
case of the western farmers against this

CARLYLE as a oonversationaligt.

Accustomed to the infinite wit and
exhuberant richness of his writings, his
talk is still an amazement and splen-
dor scarcely to be faced with steady
eye. He does not censure, only ha-
rangues. 1t is the usual misfortune of
such marked men, that they cannot
allow their minds room to breathe and
show themselves in other atmosphere,
and thus miss the instruction and re-
freshment which the greatest never
cease to need from the experience of the
humblest. Carlyle allows no one a
chance, but bears down all opposition,
not only 10y his wit and onset of words
resistless in their sharpness as so many
bayonets, but by actual physit al supe-
riority, raising his voice and rushing on
his opponent with torrent of sound.
This is not in the least from unwilling
ness to allow freedom to others on the
contrary no man would more enjoy a
manly resistance to his thought but it
is the impulse of a mind accustomed to
follow out its own impulses, as the hawk
its prey, and which knows not how to
stop in its chase. Carlyle indeed is ar
rogant and overbearing, but in his AFRO
gance there is no bitterness, no self
love; it is the heroic arrogance of some
old Scandinavian conqueror. it is his
nature and the untameable impulse that
has given him power to crush the dra-
| gon. You do not love him, perhaps,
nor reverend perhaps, also, he would
only laugh at you if you did but like
him heartily and like to see him the
powerful smith, the Sigfried, melting
the old iron in his furnance till it CLOVIS
to sunset red, and burns you if you
senselessly go too near. He seemed to
be quite isolated, lonely as the desert,
yet never was a man more fitted to prize
a man, could he find one to match his
mood. BE finds them but only in the
past. He sings rather than talks. He
pours upon you a kind of satirical, he
roical, critical poem, with regular ca
dences, and generally catching up neal
i the beginning some singular epithet.
which serves as a refrain when his song
is full, or with which, as with a knit.
ting-needle, he catches up the stitches
if he has CHANGED here and there to lei
fall a row.-Margaret Fuller.

Cheap for the Farmers.


Many of the oranges have employed
purchasing agents, who are now buying
farming and domestic machinery at
Wholesale prices. The wholesale deal
ers in Chicago at first refused to sell,
except at retail prices, TO the agents of
the oranges saying that by so doing
they would lose the trade of agents and
retail dealers. Most of them have,
however, reconsidered this determine
ton, and the saving made by farmers by
purchasing through the agents, is from
ten to fifty per cent. A farmer in
Bureau county gave me some figures
that will illustrate the working of this
system. A good farm wagon, complete,
retails at 500; the grange purchases it
for so. A pillow for which the farmers
have been paying $50 a granger gets for
$40. A $50 sewing-machine is pur-
chased for $50, and S65 one for $50.
From $40 TO $50 is saved ON the price of
n parlor organ. A rapidly growing
competition seems TO have sprung up
among the wholesale dealers for the
custom of the oranges, and whatever
other result the movement may have,
the farmers will be greatly benefited
by the cooperative purchases.

MANY of our readers, who are looking
about for something to do, can find
pleasant and profitable employment in
the business of life insurance It re-
quires no capital, save horse and bug
gy to travel through the county, and
to active men the recompense is GER
tain. We recommend the selection of
some strong old company like the New
York Life, with large assets and liberal
plans, one that is popular wherever
known, and one too that everybody
knows. A man who takes applications
for life insurance is doing good. 1t is
in every sense a good business. A let
ter dropped to the home Office of this
company, at 346 and 34S Broadway New
York, will meet with ready response.
Try it.

wa Farmsrs should Not Do.

A thrifty and prudent far
mer viii not devote his sole attention to
the Improvement of certain fields on his
farm, because the land is easy to work,
and let other portions of his premises
go uncultivated, and grow nothing but
brush, boys, briars and stones. A far
mer should never have more cattle,
horses or other live stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal In good
order at the beginning of winter is al
ready half wintered. Nor should he let
his cattle endure the chilling storms of
winter in an open yard or field, while a
few shiIlings expended In providing
comfortable stables would amply repay
him in saving fodder and afford grea-
ter quantity of milk. A farmer should
never depend too much ON his neighbor
for what he can careful management
produce on his own land. He should
not make it common practice to either
buy or beg fruit while he can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own
ground, nor annoy his neighbor by Dor
rowing tools to work with, while he can
make or buy them. 1.-The borrower is
a servant to the lender" A farmer
should never be so immersed in politi-
cal matters as to neglect doing his vari-
GUS kinds of work in due season, and TO
tidy up matters and things for the win
ter nor should he be SO inattentive to
politics as to remain ignorant of those
great questions of national and state
policy which viii always agitate more

INTELLECTUAL FORCE.-The elevation
of man is to be sought, or rather con-
sists, first in force of thought exerted
is the fundamental distinction of mind
and the great work of life. All that a
man does outwardly is but the express
sion of completion of his inward thought.
To work effectually, he must think
clearly; to act nobly, he must think
nobly. Intellectual force is a principal
element of the souls life, and should be
proposed by every man as the principal
end of his being.-Dr. Claiming.

A piabolical Weapon.


A man was hanged the other day at
San Francisco for murder with weapon
of a peculiarly dangerous and for long
time mysterious nature. This is a sand
club, formed by filling an eel skin with
sand. When the instrument was first
brought into are, the authorities were
greatly puzzled by deaths, apparently
from violence, yet no marks could be
found on the outside of the body. A
burglar was finally captured with a sand
club in his possession, made ont of an
eel skin stuffed with sand. Being
closely questioned, he explained its use.
When the victim is struck, for instance,
on the head he drops insensible and
soon dies from congestion of the brain.
Often the skull suffers no injury from
the stroke, and if the person struck re-
covers seusibility he gradually relapses
into a condition of idiocy. Sometimes
man struck in the body will be knocked
down by the peculiar force of the blow
and feel no INN ediate results from it.
In a few weeks, however, the flesh will
begin to mortify under the line of the
blow and rot down to the bone. Heller,
the celebrated pianist, is supposed to
have met his death in Mexico from a
stroke of this diabolical weapon:

lures in the university of Virginia, he
asked a few preliminary questions
among others, What is light ?" The
first student said CT dent know, sir,
and so with the second, but the third
scratched his head, and said, "I have

True and False Taste.

The temper by which right taste is
formed is patient, it is distrustful of
itself, so as to be ready to believe and
to try all things, and yet so trustful of
itself that it will neither quit what it has
tried nor take anything without trying.
Our purity of taste, therefore, is best
tested by its universally. For if we
can only admire this thing or that we
may be sure that our cause for liking is
of finite or false nature. But if we
can perceive beauty in everything of
Gods doing, we may argue that we
have reached the true perception of its
universal laws. Hence false taste may
be known by its fastidiousness, by its
demands of pomp' splendOr and unusal
combination, by its enjoyment only of
particular styles and modes of things
and by its pride also, for it is forever
meddIing, mending, accommodating and
self-exalting its eye is always upon it
self, it tests all things around it by the
way in which they fit. But true taste
is forever growing, learning, reading,
worshipping, laying its hand upon its
mouth because it is astonished, casting
its shoes from off its feet because it
finds all ground holy, lamenting over
itself and testing itself by the way it
fits things. And it finds whereof to feed
whereby to grow. Let therefore the
young artist beware of the spirit of
choice; it is an insolent spirit at the
best, and commonly base and blind
one, too, checking all progress and blast
ing all power, encouraging wickedness,
pampering partialities and teaching us
to accident of nature for The help and
the Joy which should come from our
own hearts, RUsEin.

CLARITY is a sentiment or pervading
tendency of the character, rather than
particular affection. 1t is the constant
temper of the heart, not the warmth of
individual attachments. 1t acts uni
versally and before personal affections
have time or opportunity to be formed.
It does not depend on association, or
local connections, or the relations of
mutual interests, which create so many
of the strongest and most faithful bonds
of earthly fellowship. 1t exists indie
pendently within the heart and is not
excited into life, as the passions are, by
the attractions and solicitations of its
objects. 1t acts at all times, and amid
the most novel or the most revolving
circumstances, as truly as amid scenes
most familiar, and with beings most en-
deared. 1t is the sympathy of the spirit
with God, with humanity, with nature.
4 is the quick and living sentiment to
which the Divine in life is never long
obscured. 1t is a spirit which, when
not a natural gift from God, it is the
last and most perfect result of the disci-
pline of life, and of the religious care
of the character to frame within the
heart H. Thorn.

The Power Of Admiration the Meas
ure OF a Lefty Soul.

Yoltaire was by birth a mocker and
light POGO curante which disposition
his way of life confirmed into predomi-
nant, indeed, all-pervading habit. Far
be it from us to say that solemnity is an
essential of greatness; that no great
man can have other than a rigid, vine
gar aspect of cOuntenance, never to be
thawed or warmed by pillows of mirth I
There are things in this world to be
laughed at as well as to be admired,
and his is no complete mind that cannot
give to such sort its due. Nevertheless
contempt is a dangerous element to
sport in; a deadly one if we habitually
live in it. How indeed, to take the
lowest view of this matter, shall a man
accomplish great enterprises, enduring
all toll, resisting temptation, laying
aside every weight, unless he zealously
love what he pursues The faculty of
love, of admiration, is to be regarded
rs the sign and the measure of high
souls; unwisely directed it leads to
many evils; but without it there cannot
be any good. Ridicule, on the other
hand, is indeed faculty much priced
by it's possessors; yet intrinsically it is
a small faculty, we may say the smallest
of all faculties that other men are at
the pains to repay with esteem. 1t is
directly opposed to thought, to knowl-
edge, properly so called; its nourish-
ment and essence is denial, which
hovers only on the surface. While
philosophers of Noatka sound were
pleased to laugh at the maneuvres of
Cooks seamen, did that render their
manoeuvres useless and were the sea-
men to stand idle, or to take to leather
canoes till the laughter abated ? Let a
discerning public iudge.-CarEyLe.

with the condemnation of the past, neat

promise of better things. But this di-
