or, for justice; his devotion to human
freedom, sealed with his blood. command
ed their moral faculties. His Greek love
for beauty in its pnrest forms, his exquis-
ite tastes, his wonderful culture, which
had CLEANED in every field of human
knowledge, sufflced the aesthetic nature OF
the higher order of women; while the
marvellous sweetness OF his smile. the
gentleness of his courtesy, his reverence
for the finest womanhood made him ever

blameless knight of the ideal man. Let
no woman fear to own a capacity for such
worship, lest it shall be mistaken and mis-

nevertheless, hold fast to your ideal Of
him-by so much will you bring him near

cease to worship the sovereign in man or
for man to cease to revere the spiritual in
woman. we might deplore, indeed, the
speedy downfall of the race, which false
prophets now delight to prophesy.

the recipient of far-off adoring letters Gin

addressed to him by his countrywomen.

whom he never met, would have made

Steam in Farming.
A VALUABLE SYSTEM OF SAVING TIME,
FEED AND LABOR.


On the farm of Mr.. Jacob q. Zrrr at
|Gelgertown Union township, this coun-
ty, steam is made to take an important
part in the work required about the
barn and stables, and the result is a
great saving In feed, time and labor
About two years ago, MIR. Zerr, who is
an intelligent, enterprising and success
ful agricultuIist, conceived the idea of
using steam in his farming operations,
which are extensive, as he owns two
farms, comprising about $50 acres, be-
sides several houses and other buildings
About As feet from the barn at his
homestead, some two years ago, he
erected frame building containing an
upright steam boiler of 10 to 20 horse
power, with one engine in the building
for pumping, and one in the barn for
work. Water for the boileris supplied
from a well II feet deep, from which
| it is pumped into tank having capa-
city of $50 gallons. The steam is car,
ried from this building, through under
ground pipes; to the barn, were an en-

about six horse epower, while other pipes

ing food for the stock. The engine
runs the threshing machine, feed cutter
fodder cutter, corn sheller, &c, saving
an immense amount of human muscle
and aorse flesh in the course of year
On one occasion, however, Mr. Zerl
had his hand caught by this useful bu
dangerous servant, and two of his fin
gers were crippled for life.
The corn fodder is chopped in th,
room above the tanks, and runs dowr
into them, where it is mixed will
ground feed, and after being cooked il
the hot water is fed to the stock, OF

would otherwise be fed, is sold. Oh

"HOE OUT YOUR ROW"

One Summer day a farmers boy
Was hoeing out the corn.
And m0odily had listened long.
To hear the dinner horn.
The welcome blast was heard at last.
And down he dropped his hoe,
But the old man shouted in his ear
My boy. hoe out your row."
Although hard one was ths row.
To use a plOwman's phrase.
And the boy. rs the sailors have it.
Beginning now to 'haze,"
Il can" he said. aud man.ui'y
Again he seized his hoe.
And the good man smiled to see
The boy hoo out his row.
The lad the text remembered.
And learned the lesson well.
That perseverance to the cad
At last will hobly tell.
Take courage. man. resolve you can.
And strike a vigorous blow
In life's wide field of varied toll.
Always hoe out your row."

Sea Lions.

Charles Nordon, In llarperR Monlhlyl
The sea lions. which cOngregate by
thousands upon the ellis, and bark
and howl and shrek aud roar IN the
caves and upon the steep sunny slopes,
nre hut little disturbed, and one can
usually approach them within twenty
or thirty yards. II lsan extraordinarily
interesting sight TO see these marine
monsters, many of them bigger than
an OK, at play In the surf and 10 watch
the superb skill with which they know
how 10 control their own motions when
u huge wave sciHes them, and seems
likely 10 dash them 70 pieces against
the rocks. They love to lie In the sun
upon the bare warm rocks and here
they sleep, crowded together, and lying
upon each other In incXtricable con-
fusion. The bigger the animal, the
greater his ambition appears to be TO
climb to the highest summit, and
when huge, Shiny beast has with in.
finite squirmlng attained II solitary
peak, he does not tire of raising his
sharp pointed, maggot like head,
and complacently looking about him.
They are n rough set of brutes--rank
DULLES, should say; for | have
watched them repeatedly, rs a big
fellow shouldered his way among his
fellows; reared his hugh front TO in
timidate some lesser seal which had
secured u favorte spot, and first with
bowls, and II this did not suffice, with
teeth and main force and expelled the
weaker from his lodgmcnt. The
smaller sea-lions, at least those which
have left their mothers, appear to have
no rights which any one Is bound to
respect They got out fthe way with
an abject proniptness which proves
that they live in terror Of the stronger
members of the community; but they
do not give up their places without
harsh complaints and piteous groans.
Plastered against the rocks, and With
their 1.-THE and apparently homeless
shapes conlormed to the rude and
sharp angles, they are wonderful, but
not n graceful or pleasing sight.
At q little distance they look like
huge maggots, and their slow, ungain-
~ motions upon the land do not lesson
this resemblance. Swimming in the
ocean, ut Assistance from the land, they
are inc0nspicuous objects, as nothing
but the head shows above the water,
and that only at intervals But when
the vast surfwhich breaks In mountain
waves against the weather side Of the
Farallones with force which would
in single sweep dash to pieces the
biggest Indiaman-whcu such 4 surf
vehemently and with apparently
irresistible might, lifts IFS tall
white head, and with n deadly roar
lashes the rocks half way to their sum-
mit-then it is u magnificent sight to
see a dozen or half Il hundred great sea
lions at play in the very midst and
fiercest part of the boiling surge, so
completely masters Of the situation
that they allow themselves to be ear
ried within foot or two of the rocks,
and at the last and imminent move
ment, with an adroit twist of their
bodies, avoid the shock, and, diving,
reappear beyond the breaker.

Gold Hunters.

Since the summer of 1858, and at
regular intervals, discoveries of gold i'll
paying quantities have been reported
from the tributaries of the Yellowstone
river in Montana. The latest exciting
news from the undeveloped auriferous
deposits of the territory Is contained in
8 letter addressed to the Bismarck
Tribune by resident of Bozeman,
Montana. According to this commu-
nication the new Eldorado is the
Tongue river valley, about midway be-
tween Bozeman and Bismarck. In
February a large expedition was or
ganized at Bozeman, composed OF over
one hundred men, armed with needle
guns and three pieces of artillery, with
plenty of grape and shells. Other ex-
petitions are forming which will in
crease the number of miners and ex-
plorers near Tongue river to two hum
dred. The original discoverer says
that he sank shafts in two gulches and
ON one bar, and from eleven buckets OF
dirt got So go of coarse gold. The ex-
peditisn mentioned carries provisions
