s@ The election of Green and Delaney
will break the backbone of the miserable, un-
scrupulous faction now ruling in South Carroll
ma. Is this not enough to induce every honest
taxpayer, who desires to secure an economical
administration of the State government, to
work increasingly for their success? lndiffer-
ence, apathy and lethargy will never produce
a better state of affairs.

THAT OLD WAGON AND IT'S LOAD OF
LuMBER.-T greatest curiosity in Ham
burg, Eerks county, Pa, is a wagon load
ed with building lumber, standing in the
wagon shed, on the premises of an old
citizen named Baily. This object has
been made one of comment and target
for curious eyes, because of its having
held its present undsturbed location for
a period of fifty years. The way it came
about was this Mr.. Baily, half con-
tury ago took into his head an idea of i'm
provement, and hauled this load of lumber
home for the purpose of consummating
his well-matured plans. Upon its arrival
the women folks of his household offered
some objections to the change which Mr.
b. had in view, which made him "mad y
and he then and there swore that the ma
terial might stand where it was until
" dooms day" Thus the wagon and
lumber stands to-day, in the same place
as on that particular "riled" occasion
All is in good state of preservation =
Er.
Mr.. Baily recently died, and since then
the wagon has been moved.

"OKLAHoMA."- ."-Oklahoma the Indian
Territory, contains an area of 10000
square miles-which is larger than all
New England-and is at present inhabit-
ed by about SO, 600 Indians who are by
courtesy classed as civilized, and some
10000 who are unquestionably savage.
Its queer-sounding name. by the way. is
Choctaw. and signifies "The home Of the
red man." Among the large tribes of
Choctaws and Chickasaws, who belong to
the most civilized class, there are also
about 1000 negroes, formerly slaves to
the Indians, but now free. In all, then,
the new Territory can be started with a
population of $4,000 persons, which is
quite enough for good start. But if the
experience Of our country has conclusive
ly demonstrated anything in particular, it
has shown the utter practicability of con-
ducting elections without whiskey, and
we cannot calmly contemplate the intro
duction of this necessary element among
our red brethern amid the excitement of
political campaign without feeling that
the combination of circumstances would
be such as might well incite in the breasts
of timid people an irrestrainable longing
TO get away from Oklahoma. a.--San Fran

A SERMON IN A PARAGRAPH-Pres
dent Porter, of Yale College, gave the
following advice to the students of that in
stitution the other day:
Young men, you are the architects Of
your own fortune Rely on your own
strength of body and soul. Take for your
guiding star self-rcliance. Subscribe on
your banner, " Luck is fool Pluck is
hero.' Don't take too much advice-keep
at your helm and steer your own ship, and
remember that the great art of command
ing is to take fair share of the work
Think well of yourself. Strike out
Assume your own position. Put potatoes
in cart, over rough road, and the small
ones go to the bottom. Rise above the
envious and jealous. Fire above the mark
you intend to hit. Energy, invincible
determination, with right motive, are
the levers that move the world. Don't
drink Don't chew. Don't smoke
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry until you can sup
port wife. Be in earnest. Be self-re-
liant. Be generous. BE civil. Read
the papers. Advertise your business. =
Make money and Go good with it. Love
your God and fellow men, Love truth
and virtue. Love your country and obey
its laws"

SHORTEN AND DEEPEN THE FURRow.-
At the present time the average crop of
wheat per acre in Great Britain. ON a soil
cultivated for years, is about double that
produced on comparatively new soil in
Ohio Why is this? Simply because
the British are educated men, and apply
their work wisely. They endeavor by
every means in their power to enrich
their land, and in return it enriches them.
Why do not our American famers do tho
same, instead of laboring to double the
number of their acres, and thereby double
their crops. Many farmers never think
Of digging ten inches into the soil, unless
they are in search of lump of gold If
every farmer would plow his land deeper,
he would soon find that it would pay bet
ter than digging for gold.
1t don't pay to farm unless you pillow
the ground deep and give it suoh manurcs
as it requires farmers had better sell off
one-half of their farms and apply the pro-
ceeds thereof to the other half. They
would thereby put the balance in condi-
ton to produce large crops. This is bet
ter than buying double the number Of
acres they already have, paying large
taxes on the same and getting nothing for
their labor, as is generally the case on
too large farms and with shallow plow-
ing.

The Scotch King and His Minister

Generally speaking, the Scotch enjoy
persiAage. and the Irish are apt to take
fire at it. After a mess-dinner Of the
Twenty-6rst, (Royal North British Fusi-
leers, always gallant and gentlemanly
corps, of very national character, there
had been good deal of proud reflection
upon the stern faith of the North Britons,
in their treaties with other powers. A
lively boy, who had recently joined, OBJ
served to some of the elders.that he had
legend in confirmation of the claim, and
narrated it accordingly.
Few of our histories refer to very san
culinary war that subsisted between an
early Scotch king and king of the Lands
End. Scottish valor prevailed, and news
was brought of the complete success of an
expedition against the Cornish strongholds.
The monarch was elated beyond measure,
and sending for his principal adviser, Lerd
Alexander ---, addressed him:
Wsol Sandy is there any other king
l can bring to submission the moor!
"An' it please your majesty, there is
but ane king whom you can ma vanquish."
zane king that l can ma vanish! An
wha's he mon p
II mean. your majesty. the King of
Haven"
Haven! Haven! whar's that, San
dyw
His lordship pointed to the sky, and
then bowed becomingly to his royal mas
ter, who did not quite comprehend what
was meant, and feared to betray geo.
graphical ignorance by inquiring more
particularly than he had already done.
Nae matter, Sandy; gang and tell
the King o Haven that gin he does nae
surrender his dominions at once, I'll come
and bang him out of them. An mind,
my lord, you dinna show your face before
us till you have done our bidding"
This was an embarrassing position for
the noble favorite, who knew that expos
tulation, or even explanation, was too dan
gereus to be attempted at such a moment
lie therefore retired submissively and con-
suited a priest. This progenitor of 10y
ola consoled him by ths assurance that, on
an occasion of the kind, it was quite allow
able to tranquilize monarch of weak un-
derstandng by putting an artificial con-
structon en- certain passages of scripture.
Lord Alexander appeared, accordingly. in
the royal presence, and was instantly
observed by his gracious master.
"Weel, Sandy, and what says the King
O. Haven ?"
"Pcase your majesty, have nae seen
himser, but | have conferred with ane O.
his accredited ministers, and he solemnly
engages that your majesty may hae his
kingdom for asking for"
Was he sac cecvil?" inquired the
monarch, warmed to magnanimity by the
assurance; then cen gang yer gait there
once more, and tell the King @ Haven
that for his ceevility nae Scotchman
shall ever set foot in his kingdom"

MER1No SHEEP ELsEwHERE THAN IN
MARYLAND.-The breeding of sheep has
long attracted the attention of mankind 10
various parts of the earth. Abel appears
to have been keeper of sheep in the ear
lier stages of the world. In the patriar-
chal age, when Abram went up out Of
Egypt, between Bethel and Hal, as Lot
had focks of sheep, their herdsmen and
shepherds we're striving together, which
caused Abram and Lot to separate, that
each could have room and no strife
Again, when Jacob goeth to Padan-aram
he meeteth Rachel, the shepherdcss Of her
fathers focks. And again, after the birth
of Joseph, Jacob proposed to Laban to
send him away, that he might 60 into his
own country but Laban implored him to
tarry and Jacob said TO him "appoint
my wages" Here seems to be the first
history of skillful breeder. Jacob pro-
poses to remove all the brown sheep from
the focks, and these should be his hire as
shepherd; and the man increased exceed
ingly. His wages were then changed
with like results. | am aware that many
attribute this to divine interference, and
yet the entire history thereof shows the
skill of master shepherd Here seems
to be our first ideas of the wonderful re-
suits of skilful handling of flock of sheep.
The want of attention to this is part Of
the failure of Spain to keep up with
America in breeding Merino sheep.

Antiquity Of the Scriptures.

Few of us ever stop to think how old
the Bible is. Yet the scriptures are be-
lieved by candid critics to contain the
most ancient forms of truth now known to
men. With the aid of chronological ia
bles, any one may easily make profitable
comparisons between the antiquity of its
books and that of other writings and
events. The Scriptures contain the only
authentic history Of the world before the
food. We find in the Pentateuch one or
two stanzas of poetry composed in the
antediluvian world. The Hebrew statutes
we're enacted thousand years before
Justinian reformed the Roman jurispru-
dcncs. In the Bible we have the record
of chartered rights secured to the people
more than two thousand years before the
Manga Charta. What sensation would
be produced if the first chapter of Genesis
should appear for the first time in one Of
the newspapers tomorrow Yet there
can be no doubt that that chapter contains
the Oldest writing, twenty-five hundred
years before the invention of printing
Nenophon's record If the conversation of
Socrates, in his Memorabilia, seems an
old book to US, yet the books Of the Old
Testament are older than they. AS to
the book of Job, its age is beyond cen-
lecture. Those who make it as modern as
they can are compelled to place its origin at
least one thousand years before Homer
When Priam was king of Troy, Job was
in remote antiquity. The name of Alex
ander has no modern sound for US, yet
when Alexander invaded Syria, the book
of Job might have been read before him
as the work of an author more time honor
ed than the name of Alexander is now
The writings of Confucius are modern
when compared with most of the Bible !;
and the most that the Hindoos can justly
claim for their sacred books the Vsdas,
is that they were written five hundred
years after the death of Moses The
Koran is book fresh from the press COM
pared with the Scriptures.

ed at him with amazement. But when he
opened it and let out little Kitty and said
"Hsre, Jones, is this yer kitten ?" Mrs
Jones couldn't think of anything better to

And Jones got up and took his old
partners hand and said, Burton, ole fcl-

And Burton said, "Jenes, ole fellow,
you may have that forty acre patch. 1t

No! you shall take it yourself" cried
Jones, "if l have to go to law to make you" F"
And Jones actually decided his interest
in the forty acres to Burton. But Burton
transferred it all to Kitty.
That is why this part of Newton is
called to-day "Kitty's Forty"

HINTS FOR STACKING HAY.-Make your
stacks long and narrow, as the hay will
cure better, and there is less danger Of
its becoming musty than when built in
the usual circling form; besides it will be
easier bailing. The press can be moved
easier than you can pitch from the rear of
wide stack. In bslding, unload on
different sections of the stack, which will
allow the air to circulate through each
load before it is settled down by another
being placed upon it. About three gal
Ions of salt thrown into load of hay will
preserve its sweetness. Three quarts are
considered by some hay farmers to be suf-
6cent for an ordinary load. 1t might be
well for Colorado farmers to remember
these small hints, as the time for hay cut
ting, curing and gathering. is near at hand.
Fortunately, hay making in Colorado is
not attended by so many perils as it is in
the States, and with even ordinary care,
it may be cured and placed in keeping
order, either in barn or stack. Still, if
thing is worth doing at all. it is worth
doing we'll, and our farmers should. in all
kinds of work, practice according to this
rule, and thereby be the gamers. s.-Colo-

AN AGRICULTURAL ODE.
Far back In ages
BY wM. C. BRYANT.


Far back images
The plow with wreathes was crowned, s
The hands of kings and sages
Entwined the chaplets round,
Till men of spoil
Disdained the toll
BY which the world was nourished,
And blood and pillage were the soil v
In which their laurels fourished.
Now the world her fault despairs--
The guilt that stains her story,
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That form her earliest glory. .....
The throne shall crunbe,
The dadem shall wane, O..
The tribes of earth shall humble
The pride of those who reign;
And war shall lay
His pomp away,
The fame that heroes cherish,
The glory earned in deadly fray
Shall fade, decay and perish.
Honor waits o'er all the earth,
Through endless generations,
The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds the expectant nations.
