THE young man who seeks mercantile
or professional life, because farming
does not pay, makes one of the greatest
mistakes of his life. A glance at the
labors and anxieties of the various
classes of business men, and their prof
its, will at once dissipate these notions.
Look through the streets of any large
town, and of the men who are taking
their ease and enjoying social hour, a
very large majority are well to do farm
ers. The fact is the farmers, of this
generation do not work as long and dill
gently as the professional men, the me-
. chanics or the merchants, and when one
is found that labors continually and i'm
diligently as other men do, there Is no
complaint that his business don't pay.
Every farmer feels that his crops are
growing and his grains maturing while
he sleeps or visits his friends, and unlike
all other branches of business, he can
take life easy, making animal power and
labor-saving machines do the work that
his ancestors performed with their
hands, and he can be independent, free
from care, take his ease, and at all times
be "a chap with four dollars" without
constant labor Farming does pay, and
even in Vermont no business will yield
as good results for Intelligent labor as
tilling the soil. .,-.,s' - s...s -.

said, ."And now you may call him what
you like-farmer Hills nephew or farmer
Hills hired man-to me he is, and has been
from the first, simply Ralph Strong. the
ruest and best man | ever have known"
And all Arabelas arguments failed to con-
vince her that plowing and reaping for farm
er Hill had in any way lessened his man-
hood, ,or that in marrying farmer she
wonld be booming herself to life of daily
drudgery. So there was nothing more to
be said. She was of age, and had perfect
right to do as she pleased but it seemed so
odd that Frank, who had refused more
offers than she could well remember, was,
after all, going to marry farmer Hills hired
man. 1t came to light little later that he
was himself the owner Of handsome farm;
and had hired himself 10 farmer Hill chiefly
for the purpose of learning how to manage
it, having discovered, on leaving collegeb
that he knew far more Of astronomy than
agriculture: but even this modifying fact
could not restore Arabelas compospre.
Father and mother came home in the Fall,
and we all went back to town-7and at
Christmas there was wedding. Arabella
declared it was a disgrace to the family but
father, who is quick at reading men, said
Ralph Strong was worthy of any woman,
and that Frank had shown her gpod sense.
They have been married three years now,
and Grace and 60 every Summer to visit
them. Their home is a little Eden, ana
Frank is as happy as a queen. TO be sure,
she has some care, as every wife and moth
er must have; but | can't see that she is
one bit more of drudge" than any city
woman; and, as for her husband, he grows
nobler and better every day. as every, true
man must who has tue wife to help him.
Arabella has not yet been to see them, but
| don't think her injured dignity can hold
out much longer; for Frank, with the sweet
forgiveness of her nature, has named her
baby for her, and dainter "baby Bell p
was never seen. They are going to bring
her to town soon, and Grace and feel sure
that she will prove little peace-maker.
| Speaking of Arabella reminds me that last
Summer we met farmer Hills nephew him
settle other Ralph. They say he is
rich; but, poor fellow, he is greatly to be
pitied,ss ssor he not only has weak "narves,"
put weak head as well; even Arabella-
world minded as she is-could she once
see him, would be quite willing to acknowl-
edge that Frank had made happy mistake
in taking the hired man instead.--Mary 3.

A TELLING FIT.

The recent death Of Mr.. John c.. Tucker
calls TO mind speech. which he made in fhe
House, of Representatives some years ago
speech that was full of tingling wit, and
delivered in the happiest manner.
General Banks had been elected Governor
by a combination between the Free Sojers
and the Know-Nothings, and it was natur-
ally supposed that in his inaugural address
there would be some reference to the issues
of the campaign. But the adroit Governor
omitted all mention of the Anti Slavery
question as we'll as of the Native American
policy A member arose and moved to
print 10 900 copies " the address, when in
stantly Mr.. Tucker got the floor and spoke
as follows:
81 rise, Msther SPEAKER, to second the
motion of the honorable gntleman to print
ten thousand copies of His Excellency's
speech. You may wonder, Misther SPEAKER,
why l. who am naythur personal nora
political friend of His Excellency, should do
this. 1t is well known that His Excellency
has risen to power by coalition between
the Anti Slavery and Native American par
ties, or, as they are sometimes called, Free
Soilers and Know Nothings. And this puts
me in mind of little sthory.
"There was Bishop in Dublin who eli:
gagged panther to make large picture for
the Cathaydral The subject chosen was
the crossing Of the Red Say by the Israel.
ties. Afther suitable time the picture
was completed and hung in the Cathaydral,
covered with broad and heavy curtain. A
great crowd of people assembled to see the
picture unveiled The priests entered in
procession, the organ sounded, and the sing
ers sung All faces were turned in anxious
expectation to the great curtain. When it
was dhrawn aside nothing ic6oinrd be seen but
vast expanse of water-reddish green wa
ther. The Bishop, in great rage, turned to
the panther and said: i thought | asked
you to paint a picture of the Israelites cross
ing the Red Say?
"'Thrue for you; that's jest it, said the
panther.
But where are the Israelites ? asked
the indignant Bishop.
They're gone ouer, said the panther:
"'Well, but where are the pursuing
Egyptians?'
"'They're gone under,' said the pain
ther.
"Witb similar disappointment the friends
of His Excelency stand now. If they
ask, What has become of the nayger :? the
answer is, He's gone over, Misther Spa
ker. If they ask then. what has become
of the Know Nothings 2 why, they've gone
under, Misther Spa-ker.'" j..
The roars of laughter from all sides Of
the House made the rest Of the speech in
audible. .--Boston Journal

TALKING OF JOAQUIN
BY AN ENvIoUs POET.


The Modoc poet, Joaquin Miller,
Has met an English gal with siller,
And his hair and verses fill her
With romantic love for he.
Her papa don't like the notion
OF a son-in-law from Pacific Ocean,
But is forced to swallow the potion,
For Miller swears he III marry she.
And with delicate sense of honor
While he plays his love Oh on her,
He tells his friends that he has won her
For the sake of her prcpertee.
Thee we hail, .fo,mose puer.
Wealthy minds successful wooer,
Formerly squaw's undoer,
First in love and poesee.
Should your pa-in-law not shell out
Cash sufficient for swell out
In the costly town of London.
All your hopes will then be undone.
And you'll fly that blarsted counteree.
Back again will come our joaquin,
Like sportsman who's been stalking
Pretty dears, and done much talking
OF e sentimental kind
In the ears of British maiden
Whom he met in distant Aidenn-
Wedding trip with whom to Baden
Would have pleased the poets mind.
Torn with grief, though he don't show it
Back will come the love-sick poet
In the steerage, before we know it,
And on this Pacific Slope
He will cast his graceful figure
On the sward. and with soul bigger
Than the towards who pulls trigger
OF revolver, or takes rope,
He will write, his time beguiling,
While he weeps instead Of smiling,
On the maid who made him nope.

Mt. HoREB, Tenn Aprl 2Sth, 1878.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Since my last
communication on the prospects of the
fruit crop in this section, we have had n
very heavy frost with some freezing,
which has been very destructive to the
fruit crop. My information is that the en-
tire fruit crop in this part of the country is
thought to be killed. On the low lands the
leaves of the forest are even killed by the
frost. Much damage has been done to the
early garden vegetation.
Our citizens are becoming somewhat in
terested in question, which presented it
self to our County Court at its last term,
looking forward to the re-districting of the
county into civil districts. Owing to the
inconvenience of the voting places i'm some
of the precincts, and a dissatisfaction
which predominates in some localities in
the county, it appears to be foregone con-
clusion that something will have to be
done by the County Court at an early day.
Petitions for new districts have already
been presented to the court for consdera-
ton, some of which will no doubt be urged
to the full extent of the law.
1t was suggested to the County Court at
its last term that the cost of redistrictinp
the county need not exceed one hundred
and fifty dollars. If the work can be
properly done for that amount, we say by
all means let it be done, although we are
of the opinion it will take q much larger
amount.
You are doubtless aware of the fact that
Or. Samuel Anderson, of this place, was
elected Superintendent of Public Schools
for this county. AS the work of education
has been comparatively neglected, we hope
much will be done in the future to redeem
us from the unenviable condition.
Truly yours, JNO. j. COLE.

Oriental Justice.

A poor Turkish slater of Constantinople,
being at work on the roof of house, lost
his footing, and fell into the narrow street
upon man who CHANGED to be passing at
the time. The pedestrian was killed by
the conclusion, while the slater escaped
without material injury.
A son of the deceased caused the slater
to be arrested and taken before the Cadi,
where he made the most grave charge, and
claimed ample redress.
The Cadi listened attentively, and in the
end asked the slater what he had to Isay in
his defence.
Dispenser of Justice" answered the ac-
cused in humble mood, sit is even as this
man says; but God forbid that there should
be evil in my heart. / am poor man,
and know not how / can make Amends
The son of the man who had been killed
thereupon demanded that condign punish
ment should be inflicted upon the accused
The Cadi meditated few moments, and
finally said:
at shall be SOL
Then to the slater he continued:
Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father of this this man stood when
thou didst fall upon him.
And to the accuser he added
and thou shalt, if it so please thee. go
upon the roof, and fall upon the culprit
even as he did fall upon thy father. Allah

In Search of His Wife.

laboring under considerable excitement
appeared at the Office of the Crawford
House, Cincinnati, and inquired of the
clerk in attendance:

The clerk told him there were several
ladies stopping at the hotel" What was
his wife's name ?"
No matter about the name,n said the
man shes so contrary she would regis
ter some other name, like as any way"
The clerk suggested that he might de-
scribe her.
"Well, p'r'aps l might. She is rather
short; has red hair, and Titled freckled.
Her nose turns up, too"
He was informed that no lady of that
description was stopping at the house.
"Well, look a-here, Mr.. Clark" said the
wife-pursuer, after bordering on the sub
ject, that ere woman is cunning as n fox.
She has dyed her hair like as any way, and
got something to take the freckles off but
I'd know that nose-she couldn't get the
turn-up out of that, sure
He peeped into the dining-room mo-
ment, and walked off, muttering to him.
