ENGLISH EMIGRATION TO THE
UNITED STATES.

The visit of Joseph Arch TO this country,
last fall, set alloatall sorts of opinions us to
the propriety of English agricultural Ia
borers immigrating hither to better
their fortunes Some were afflicted with the
obtuseness OF Delmar's statistics, and saw
only redundancy in agricultural production.
and the starvation of these new corners in
the midst of bursting warehouses aud corn
cribs These, however, were all theoretical
spectators, and produced crops only mathe-
matlcally. The great body of farmers know
that their most urgent need has been. for
some years, more and cheaper labor. The
extension of railroads and other public
works had absorbed all the available labor
at higher wages than the farmer could al
ford to pay The farmers then regarded the
prospective immigration in the most friend
" manner, aud rs we'll calculated to relieve
their great necessity.
The oVer-production theory has proved II
mere chimera of the statlstician's imagina-
tiOn. Indian corn, the product claimed rs
most in excess. is now sold ut from 45 to 65
cents per bushel in the most fruitful corn
regions of the West. There is no more ink
shed upon the sacrlege Of burning corn for
fuel Wheat, although full crop, has
brought 81 and upwards per bushel, at home,
in the best wheat-producing states. Oats
are worth 40 cents where most extensively
grown. Hogs bring ST to cents live weight,
and cattle from to cents. Cheese IA to
10 cents and good butter 30 to so cents per
pound; and this after Il crisis in the money
market. Does this state of things evidence
ovor-productonP 1t shows, clearly, that we
have room for all the ,able-bodied farm 1T
borers that Joseph Arch can send us.
The greatest need of agriculture in the
United States is skilled labor, and If half II
million workers, who have become skilled
in any branch of farming, should reach us
from England in single year, they might
be judiciously set at work. The mechanic
arts are much better supplied with skilled
labor than is agriculture. We hope, there
fore, that the time has come for agriculture
to enter upon II period of advancement.
And this can only be done by improving it,

MORAL OF DANCING.
BY A. GAYLORD sPALDING.

The Terpsichorean art is II recreation and
an accomplishment of grace and gentility,
cheap and easy to indulge, and needml in
farmers and workingmen's homes, to re-
lieve the cherries monotony, and prevent
the nervous depression, encouragement, de-
spondency, suicide. and insanity, sometimes
resulting from dreary and drudging isolation.
Such genteel and orderly exercise is alto
gether delightful, exhilarating, and health
full. Nothing is more pleasing, inspiring,
and attractive in social gatherings, or tends
more to unite the hearts and hands of the
people, and to develop the finer elements OF
human nature. There is no sin in it; but
its moral advantage requires proper super
vision and management.
Avoid the excesses of cost and late hours
abstain from liquors, and from chewing and
smoking tobaccO and observe modest and
quiet manners. Small companies and fam
lily circles are preferable to large crowds and
noisy and rushing hotel balls, which incline
to be fast and boisterous. To
Dance all night, till broad daylight
And go home with the girls In the morning"
is often rather coarse, wild, and extrRvagant'
and lacks the refining and civilzing inAu-
ence Of smaller groups of acquaintance and
friends.
But to call neighbors together at their own
retired homes for three or four hours nj
little or no expense, for the varied pleasant
exercises of the dance, the waltz, the sing
ing of good songs, conversation, and dec
lamalions, perhaps, and the playing of limo
cent and amusing games, is not only per
fectly harmless, but really charming anC
beautiful; and any church or religion thu
forbids or discourages such things, mus
necessarily and naturally consist of nn igno
rant, bigoted, lugubrious, gloomy, and un
happy quality. The less the world has O
il the better.
To expend money for training mankind Il
a fearful, fearful, moaning and groaninI
piety, is a pitiful and cruel absurdlty and
curse. The object of life is happiness
Therefore, don't be miserable; but jun

DECORATION.

MID the iower-wreath'd tombs stand
Bearing lilies in my hand.
Comrades in what soIdier-grave
Sleeps the bravest Of the bravel
Is it he who sank to rest
With his colors round his breastl
Friendship makes his tomb a shrine;
Garlands veil IL ask not mine.
One low grave, yon trees beneath, T.
Bears no roses, wears no wreath
Yet no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle-storm,
Never CLEANED q prouder eye
In the front Of victory,
Never foot had hrmer tread
On the field where hope lay dead,
Than are hid within this tomb,
Where the INTENDED grasses bloom
And no stone, with feign'd distress,
Mocks the sacred Loneliness.
Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could meier fulfill,
Here lie buried; here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my comrades eyes,
Kneeling where a woman lies,
strew lilies on the grave
OF the bravest Of the brave.

longs to simple region of fact and not to
that of experience, aud hence the distance
between that idea aud the idea oil faith or
penitence is the difference between fact
aud perpetual law. But while human ex-
perience cannot approach the Trinity,
il can approach the divineness of
Christ for If Christ be not divine, every
impulse of the Christian world falls to low
er octave, and light and love and hope alike
decline. There is no doctrine into whioh the
heart may so inweave itself aud find anchor
age aud peace as in this divineness Of the
Lord. Hence, Christianity bears readily the
idea of three Offices, and permits the one
God to appear in Father, or in Son, or in
Spirit but when the divine is excluded from
Christ, and He is left mortal only, the
heart, robbed Of the place where the glory of
God was once seen, and where the body was
once seen rising from the tomb, and where
the words were spoken, "Come unto Me ye
