EDITORS PREFACE


Gentle reader, possess thy soul in
patience while perusing these uncon>
nected chapters from life. 1t is true,
you may fail to see the connection
existing between them, but we can as
sure you in advance that that discovery
has been made by ourselves. The
reason for the want of connection is
that the LIBERAL REPUBLICAN, not
being sufficiently endowed with 'funds
to hire professional story~wri,er, and
having no graduate to volunteer to fil
the gap, we were compelled as VIC were
behind our cotemporaries) to do the best
~e could. In travail of soul we implored
the Conrt House talent to come to our
assistance, and to their everlasting
credit be it said, they have nobly
responded. Our agreement is that forl
an occasio nal puff they will in turn write
a chapter of our serial, said agreement
to continue, and be in force as long as
grass grows anl water runs.

of her matured mind to capture the
affections OF Parson Stiggias. While
thus engaged, many envious glances
we're cast at her by maneuveriDg
mammas, and envious Old maids, yet
he went on regardless of remarks
Though to many her labor seemed a
frutless ono, yet the end showed that
her master mind had weighed well a
he difficulties that might meet her
and her superior genius enabled her to,
overcome them Her motto was, 4" The
end justities the means" and, though
she often in the solitude of her cham
Der condemned herself for mnny
unwomanly acts, yet it she could
accomplish her chef d'ouvre-a
matrimonial alliance with the line Of
Stigglns-her cup of happiness would
be filled to rcpIetion.
In her case, as in all Others, fortune
favored the bra ve, and after a pro
tracted siege she captured the fade

Drilling Corn.

At the Michigan Agricultural
College, in 1868, two plots OF
land were set apart, substantial
ly equal in character of soil, each
measuring forty-eight rods in
width. The ground was plowed
May 9Th, and manure was spread
evenly and worked in by cult
vator and harrow. Yellow Dent
corn was planted May 21st, in
rows four feet apart; one of the
plots being planted in hills, the
other in drills. The plots were
cultivated and hoed June 18th,
and again July 7th, the plants
being thinned so as to leave the
same number of stalks in each
plot, including the equal distri-
button of plants throughout the
subdivision of the two plots. As
near as possible, each of the two
plots receive the same amount
OF cultivation: The stalks were
cut at the bottom September 18th,
and stacked in good order; three
weeks afterward the corn was
husked and weighed, in good
condition, October 18th. The
corn on the portion planted in
the hills was better in quality
than on that planted in drills.
But the drilled portion produced
"a 1-6bushels shelled corn. and
three tons of stalks to the acre
against 654 bushels of shelled
corn, and:.2t tons of stalks per
acre produced by the portion in
the hills.

The Fathers Face.

At a rehearsal for Sabbath
School entertainment, some time
since, a little five-year old Bes-
sic was placed upon the platform
to recite a short poem. She COM
menced very bravely, but her
eyes wandered all around the
church, gathering more and more
of disappointment into the face.
Soon the lips began to quiver, and
the little form shook with sobs.
Her father stepped from behind a
pillar, from whence he had been
watching her,and taking her into
his arms, said:
"Why darling,wha is the mat
ter! l thought my little girl knew
the verses so we'll"
$50 l do papa, but I could not
see you. Let me stand where
can look right into your face, papa,
and i won't be afraid"
And is it not so with our Heav
emily Fathers childreng We stand
too often where we cannot look
into his face. Daring sins, and
our pride, like pillars,r up be-
tween us and God, land disappoint-
ment and tears are ours until,
casting these behind us,we stand

aIn1rnrs gunrrtp GrpnhIiran,
Grass the Essential Crop.

In a section of the country,
where stock must be fed on hay
and grain for six months in
the year, it is important to Sc
cure the requisite amount of grass
and other fodder for such de-
mands. There is little danger of
making too liberal provision in
this respect. 1t is impossible to
anticipate how long and how
cold a winter may be, nor how
much a stock of cattle will con-
sumo. The better class of farm
ers are adopting new plans to Sc
cure a greater and longer con-
tinued crop of grass. The best
method seems to be to put soil
into good heart, by judicious
system of cultivation, and after
seeding, keep up the strength of
the soil by repeated top dress
ings eth er of fine manure, phos-
phate, or guano; or well dried
muck and lime in some form.
This is evidently the most eco
nomical arrangement, when the
nature of the soil is sufficiently
well understood to enable the
occupant to apply the needed fer
tilizing element. 1t saves labor
both Of man and beast, and re
turns an immediate paying har-
vest better than vegetables or
grain. But there are other con
siderations besides the producing
of grass. 1t must be properly
cured and housed. To do this,
the farmer should be provided
with the necessary machinery to
drive his haying and secure his
crop much earlier than is usual,
and before the rain of August
blackens it and drenches out its
vitality. 1t is no longer a ques-
ton whether grass should be cut
early; when in the blossom or ev-
en- before that stage, or when the
stalk is dry ahd the seed fully ma
tured if not ripened. Having
produced a heavy growth and
been fortunate in securing it, let
care and prudence be exercised
in feeding it out to the stock, and
especially in drawingit tomarket.
Tons may be saved by early cut
ting, properly curing and judic-
iOus feeding. Cutting, securing,
& mixing with meal are processes
worthy of consideration. But
whatever plan is adopted, let
there be no waste. Taking even
the hints given here and there
and acting accordingly, farmers
may save large per cent, of hay
that is now wasted.-Aanchester

The Thistle and the Ropeside-
walk.

.Sueh a mite as l can do no
good is the general impression
of ourboys and girls when they
are urged to do what they can
for good temperance work. But
smaller; humber instruments
than you God has made use of to
do great works in this world.
A great army many years ago,
invaded Scotland. They crept on
stealthily over the border, and
prepared to make night-attack
on the Scottish forces. There lay
the camp, all silently sleeping in
the starlight, never dreaming
that danger was so near. The
Danes, to make their advance
more noisless, came forward bare
footed. But, as they neared the
sleeping Scots, one unlucky
Dane brought his broad foot
down squarely on a bristling this
tie. A roar of pain was the con-
sequence, which rang like a trum-
pet-hlast through the sleeping
camp. In a moment each sol
dier had grasped his weapon, and
the Danes were thoroughly rout-
ed. The thistle was from that
time adopted as the national EN-.
blem of Scotland. ~ s
By the harbor of New London
there was once a long ropewalk,
with a row of square window
holes fronting the water. In
time OF war British admiral was
cruising off that cost, and had a
very good chance to enter and
destroy the town. He was once
asked afterward why he did not
do it. He replied, that he should
have done so 'sif it hadn't been
for that formidable long fort,
whose guns entirely commanded
the harbor." -seh
He had been scared off the
poor old ropewalk.
God has His uses for even the
simplest and humblest of us. Our
great business should be to find
out what the Lord would have us
to do, and then do it with all our
might, mind, and strength TEN
