Better Times Coming.

WE are going to have better times for
farmers in the near future. And now is
The lime to prepare for them. Get the
land ready. Make it clean, and get it in
to clover and grass. 1t will then be gain
ing fertility, and when the good times
come-as come they certainly will-this
land can be plowed with a reasonable
prospect of producing good crop. But
if you continue to pillow as many acres,
and undertake to work it with less labor,
the chances are that you Will get meager
crops, and the land will become more and
more weedy, and when the good time
comes for corn to bring dollar bushel
where it now sells for twenty cents, and
pork and beef bring ten cents per pound,
overweight, where they now bring three
cents, you will have little to sell. 1t will
rain porridge, hut your dish will not be
ready to catch it. History, experience,
observation, and common-sense all de-
monstrate that good times never come to
poor farmers. If you can not do any
thing else towards improving your farm
the coming season, let me urge you at
any rate to make an earnest effort to Kill
the weeds. This alone would add mil
lions to the wealth of the country

! Grave Uncle Nathan was respected as
one of the most dgnified and decorous
men in the town. Neat to primncss
not strand of his long, straight hail
was ever displaced, nor a speck of dust
! seen on his glossy coat; but fivcye old
Gay, with her winning ways. soon turned
his stiff propriety into the irregular limp
| ness of a Supple Jack. One Sunday
evening, half an hour before church time,
she climbed upon his knee, and wove her
soft fingers in and out among his whiskers,
until the good man bowed his head on
his breast, and went to sleep, dreaming
of angels. On the corner of the mantle
near which they sat, and within reaching
distance, stood her "dolly's clothes
basket" full of ribbon sashes two or three
| inches in length, of every color of the
RAINBOW.
A brilliant idea visited her. Reaching
for the basket, she took out the sashes,
and forthwith began to separate punches
her uncle's smooth hair into queer
little twists or tails, tying The end of each
one with bit of ribbon, until his head
looked as gorgeous and variegated as a
Hollander's tulip-bed. The church bells
rang out their last warning Just as she had
completed her labor and consecrated it
with kiss of the purest love on his eye

sought her aunt who was in bed with a
headache.
The organ was sending out the soft
strains Of solemn voluntary as Uncle
Nathan, hat in hand, walked slowly and
solemnly up the long aisle. The light
ends of the ribbon fiuttered gently with
every motion of his body, and his head
looked like pyramid of butterflies.
Those who saw him passing by stared
after him, amazed. Handkerchief were
pressed to lips which would laugh because
''thnv had to-"
"Why, brother Barker, what does all
your head?" said his pew Chum, in a low
whisper.
"Nothing, thank you; I'm very well,
but my wife has severe headache"
"He's going crazy" thought Mr.. Wells.
"What shall do? My dear friend, who
fixed your hair?" For by this time the
attention of half that side of the church
had been attracted.
MY hair? Nobody. What does this
mean?" as. rubbing his pate hurriedly,
bit after bit of ribbon descended, like

Still Not Satisfied.

Mr.. Colfax's repeated elaborate analy-
ses of the Credit Mobiler testimony in
his case, backed by his persistent denial
of having received the 81 200 which
Ames says he paid him. do not convince
the Chicago TribNne and the New York
Nation. After all that the ex Vice Presl-
dent has said, there still remain certain
little matters that refuse TO disappear
under his solution. The Tribune saws:
When the fact subsequently came out that
Mr. ColfaS was in the regular receipt of re-
mittances by check from Nesbit', at inter
walls OF three months. and that this green
back remittance wss not the first nor the
last occasion of his receiving sums of 81 600
from that quarter. we concluded that his as
constituent At receiving the alleged remit
tance of June 90 could not have heen so pro-
found as he described it to the Committee
We judged. also, that if he had received four
remittances of 600 each from Nesbitt in
1865, one of which had created so great as
constituent in his mind, it would not have
taken him long time to ransack his
memory in order to tell where he got the
money to make his deposit in the bank on
June %.
The Nat3on has its attention directed
to this extraordinary Nesbitt feature also:
We wish, too, Mr.. Colfax had ex planned in
some satisfactory manner the e1traor binary
evidence in which he described his own sur
prise and that of his family at receiving the
81, 900 bill from Nesbitt, as person who
was "almost an entire stranger to him."
when the facts were, he afterwards con-
fessed, that Nesbitt was anything but
a stranger to him; that he had received
money from him previously, and had rcla-
tions with him which made the coming of
the 81 900 bill by no means startling oc-
currence. We should like very much to
know what Mr.. Colfax's notion of CREDIBLE
ty is, but, having heard it, we should like
to have him close his lips on the subject of
Credit Mobilier stock forever. He has car
ried OF from Washington a letter from the
President, expressing the strongest conf
dtnce in his integrity, which would, as the
Tribune points our, have been of some value
if the President had not also written Mr..
Tom Murphy letter of affectionate admira
ton.
Finally the New York Post comes for
ward to express doubt of the truth of
Mr. Colfax's statement. 1t says:
There stand the facts; the explanation of
them has embroiled, not relieved, the case;
and Mr.. Colfsx's fellow-townsmen do not
help it by their hurrahs and tea drinkipgs.

What Will Can DO.

A FRIEND in the interior of the State
writes us as follows:
There is an old grav-headed man in our
neighborhcod who had for more than
three score years been slave to the
alcoholic demon. One day friend who
was addicted TO the use of tobacco, said
to him, "Uncle John, you are too near
the grave to be INDUCING so in intoxicat-
ing drinks!"
leave off your tobacco" said the old
man, land 1 will quit drinking"
They shook hands upon it, and that old
man to whom many supposed the sudden
withdrawal of the accustomed stimulant
would he death, and in whose ability to
abstain from liquor scarcely any one had
confidence, has for years kept inviolate
the pledge that he gave half banteringly
to his friend So much for a determined
will.-FN C0ntributor's SatufdGy NiQhh.
