The human species, according to the
best theory / can form of it, is compos-
ed of two distinct races-the men who
borrow and the men who lend. To
these two original diversities may be
reduced to all those impertinent CLASH
! fications of Gothic and Celtis tribes
white men, black men and red men.
All the jewellers upon earth, "Par-
thians and Modes and Elamites," flock
hither, and do naturally fall in with one
or other of these prime distinctions.
The infinite superiority of the former,
which / choose to designate as the
"great race" is discernible in their
figure, port, and certain instructive
sovereignty. The latter are born de-
graded " He shall serve his brethren.
There is something in the air of one of
this cast, lean and suspicious, contrast
ing with the open, trusting, generous
manners of the Others
Observe who have been the greatest
borrowers of ell ages---Alcibiades, Fal-
staff, Sir Richard Steele, our late in
comparable Brinsley: what family
likeness in all four
What n careless, even department
hath your borrower What rosy gils
What beautiful reliance ON Providence
doeth he manifest, taking no more
thought than lilies What contempt
for money, accounting it (yours and
mine especially no better than dross
What a liberal confounding of those
pedantic distinctions of nleurp and
tuUBl! or rather what noble simplifi-
cation of language (beyond Tooke),
resolving these supposed opposities
into one clear, ineligible pronoun adj
iective! What near approaches doth
he make to the primitive communi-
ty, to the extent of one-half of the prin-
ciple at least
He who is the true taxer who "calleth
all the world up to be taxed ;" and the
distance is as vast between him and
one of us, as subsisted between the
Augustan majesty and the poorest
obolary jew that paid it, tribute pit
lance, at Jerusalem His exactions,
too, have such cheerful, voluntary
air So far removed from your sour
parochial or State gatherers, those ink
horn varlets, who carry their want of
welcome in their faces He cometh to
you with smile, and troubleth you
with no receipt combining himself to
no set season. Every day in his Can
dlemas, or his feast of Holy Michael.
He applieth the teRe torBentuBl of a
pleasant look to your purse-which to
that gentle warmth expands her silken
leaves, as naturally as the cloak of the
traveller, for which sun and wind con-
tended! He is the true Propontic
which never ebbeth The sea which
taketh handsomely at each mans hand.
In vain the victim, whom he delighteth
to honor, struggles with destiny; he is
in the net. Lend, therefore, cheerfully,
O man ordained to lend-that thou
lose not in the end, with thy worldly
penny, the reversion promised. Com
bine not preposterously in thine own
person the penalties of Lazarns ..lld of
Dives but when thor seeest the pro-
per authority coming, meet it smilingly,
as it were halfway. Come, handsome
sacrifice See how light he makes of
it Strain not courtesies with noble
enemy. Charles Lamb.

Red-Top Grass.

A correspondent of Minnesota pa
per writes Red-top grass will do well
on good, fair wheat land. Sown with
grain it makes a firm, even sod, and is
good for pasture or hay. 1t starts early
in the spring, and is better relished by
stock for early spring pasturage than
timothy grass. 1t is believed to be
more free from dust than timothy when
cut and well cured for hay. Good, fair
land may yield one and one-half tons
per acre.
As grass or hay it is fine, sweet, nu-
tritious, making a firm, even sod, we'll
adapted to pillow under to enrich the
land. There has been an old impression
that the red-top absolutely requires wet,
swampy land, but such opinions seem
erroneous. | think it may be madeone
of our staple crops for home use. In
sowing, be careful not to bury the seed
too deeply, as it might not come up.

The Marnnis Of MestmInsier.

The Marquis of Westminster, whom
Mr.. Gladstone created Duke, is the
richest person in England. He owns
nearly all Westminster. and his wealth
is fabulous. He is a thrifty nobleman.
Some years a gentleman saw him mt u
railway station, where he had bought Il
copy Of the Echo, price one-half penny
He gave the boy a three-penny piece,
and waited for his change The boy
had no lf-pennics he could not make
two pence half-penny change. He had
nothing but pennies, and if the Marquis
took two pence he would lose half
penny. In the midst Of this embar-
rassment the train for which his lord
ship was waiting rolled into the station.
If he did not 60 by it he would have TO
wait some moments. But he waited.

some half-pennies / will wait for your
return" And wait he did for the next
train. The new Duke is forty-nine
years old. He has a son and heir, Earl
Grosyenor, who has just come of age,
and who spends the paternal {. $. d. as

FaIIncIc- In Chce.c-NInI,lnp.

AT the last meeting of the American
Dairymans' Association, at Utica, N.
Y, t. ID. Curtis, of Syracuse, read a
paper on what he termed "Fallacies in
Cheese-making" He said that one fall
lacy, which had been widely published
as true, was that of making cheese in
the shape of cubic cylinder, and ex-
pect to have the cheese sell at profit.
Mr.. Curtis thought that a cheese made
in a square form exposed more surface
10 the air, and therefore is more liable
TO dry mp and become tasteless. He has
never seen small cheese Of any shape
that was as good and rich as large
one. For good curing no cheese should
be smaller than 80 pounds nor larger
than 100. In such a cheese there is

The Mournful Ballad of Sad william.

Sad William WAS a man of mark
For miles and miles around
Each worthy dog at him did bark;
He ne'er was sober found.
Though dark, his brow was hung with gloom
Deep wisdom 1t his eyes,
A kind of royal purple bloom
Did on his face arise.
His voice was thick with wisdom's speech,
And from his lips did roll
Long cautions loud, dear youth to teach,
To shun the sinful bowl.
And as he spakc the tears would flow,
He'd mournful stop and think;
Then, shaking sad his head, he'd 80
And take another drink.
Some tender friends OF this sad man.
BY Christian love inclined,
Did 'mong themselves a story plan
To work upon his mind,
With awful looks they told in fright
That one who drank like sin,
And, like him, went to bed each night
Exhaling clouds of gin,
Had sought to blow the candle out,
When 10 his breath took fire,
And straight he died and left no doubt
That drink had lit his pyre,
"oh, William, think Of this dread fate"
To him these friends did say,
And stop before it is too late;
Oh, William, do, we rray'
Then william sat him down to mourn,
They left him in his fear;
And in the morrow'a early dawn,
Said he, as they drew near:
"I'ye thought, with many fears and true,
OF all you said last night,
And now l, solemn, promise you
III ne'er blow out a light :"

+. r. Elliott gives an account in the
Gardener S Monthly of some experiments
performed fifteen years ago to deter
mine the best depth to plant peas.
Buried one or two inches deep, they
came up soon, bore early, but did not
last long. At three and. four inches in
depth, they came upthree or four days
later, did not bear quite so early, but
gave heavier crop and continued for a
longer time. At five and six inches
depth, they appeared two or three days
later, and grew about as vigorously as
the others, and continued still later
At eight and ten inches they were long
in coming up and did not produce so
we'll A few struggling, feeble plants
came up from twelve inch planting.
Mr.. l.. thinks about four inches the
most profitable depth in strong soils.
We may add in this connection that
last year we made a series of expert
ments to determine the effect of time ON
the terminating powers of the pea
varying from one to tive year old seed
The oldest seed was nearly a weeklOng-
er i'll coming up than the fresh seed,
but in other respects little difference
was observed, although the plants from
the old seed were at first hardly as Wig
orous. Two year seed was about two
days later in appearing than fresh seed.
Those who desire peas as early as pos.
sible will therefore select fresh seed.

some rich meat. Square cheese, if
made large, are worse TO handle, more
like box of hardware. A large round
cheese can be rolled in handling An
other fallacy is the making of skim or
half.skim cheese. These are made at
creameries, and the manufacturers
claim that they are equal III richness
and profit to full-milk cheese. Good
cheese can be made half-skim," but
/" first-rate" is the objective standard al
all good dairymen. There is a limited
demand for half-skin cheese at the
South, >on account of the less liability
to melting or running down in hot
weather. He thought that making this
cheese deteriorates the reputation of
American cheese, and that is suicidal
Good cheese sells readily mt fair price
IN any market, while the skim cheese is
slow and dull even mt low prices. The
human system requires acertainamount
of fat in the food, and this fat is mixed
in a healthy proportion with casein in
milk Why not eat the butter with the
cheese, as nature designed, and do less
skimming? If we take the butter out
on the cheese, we lessen the quality and
do not increase the profits. Tlie cheese
IS made unhealthy in hygielnic point
of view, being harder, not rirening up
mellow, and is quite inCligestible.
Health, profit and national pride all
unite in forbidding any taking out Of
the rich natural oil from the milk before
making it into cheese.

Mr.. Holdridge, of Otsego County, n.
Y, spoke in favor of m Aking small,
square cheese, exhibitinga sample made

will keep anywhere, and when wanted
for use only requires mOister ing alittle.
The expense of boxing is as little as for
round cheese. He sells such cheese for
two and half to three cents per pound
higher than ordinary good cheese, and
this more than makes up for the extra
drying.

UNFORTUNATE. 1t is unfortu,
nate for the Democratic party that
it can not control the secession ele-
ments which belong to it long
enough to get into power. just
when it needs public confidence it
loses it. just when the people are
beginning to feel that the party has
reformed and means well, and that
the devil has been cast out Of it, the
cloven foot shows itself, and the old
time rascality crops out in full
bloom. Democracy has a terrible
load to stagger under, and to add to
its burdens by increasing it's power
would be little short of cruelty
When it succeeds in civillzing Geor-
gia and Texas it may turn its atten-
ton to the nation. If the rifle and
knife prove effective civilizing agen-
cies in those States it may pay to
introduce these novel instruments
of political reform a little further
North. But we fear the experiment
will fail. Conversion through fear
is not very lasting and the power
thus gained is only for a day. De-
mocracy should issue proclama-
ton to the faithful, urge them to
appear honest and law abiding citi-
zens until the party is enthrOned at
the National Capital. 1t will be
hard work for the faithful to affect
the disguise, but it may pay if kept

takes place November 3Oth,is $780,

some one will get that money. And
that there may be no doubt as to the
honesty of its management we cite
the fact that the best banks in Lou
