Luv is pashun that is easier felt than

they he'd the diseaZe.
1t generally makes victims feel phoolish,
and akt phoolish, too.

Genuine luv never fastens its tangs onto

Sum people people fall in luv every nine

Real luv won't divide its possesshun ov
the heart with eny other ov the pashuns;
is drives out ambition, and takes the stiff

A man il never more pure than when he

Luv il great humanizer; it makes the

And old man sat in the doorway
When the sun was going down,
And heard the laugh of the children
And chime of bells from the town.
His hair like FURNISHED silver
Fell all about his face,
And gave the old mans features
Alcok of sanity grace.
: The sunset faded from crimson
Into the twilights gray:
And the laugh Of the happy children
Like the sunset died away.
And silence fell upon him
AS he sat there all alone
Where the moonlight, like blessing
Lay over the threshold stone.
"Mary," he murmurcd softly,
care the children all asleep"
And he fanced he heard her answer
In the shadow grown so deep.
81 wish you would read chapter
From the Bible before pray;
Something about the city
OfGod, and the last great day."
And sitting there in the twilight,
He fancled he heard her read
From the Book to which, all his lifetime
He had turned and given heed,
Fancied the voice of his Mary,
Who for years in heaven had been,
Was reading the dear old chapter
Over to him again.
And then, when he thought it ended,
"Let us pray" the old man said,
And knelt in the beautiful moonlight,
And bowed his reverend head.

They found him there on the threshold
Kneeling beside his chair,
And the white threads of the moonlight
Were tangled in his hair.
But he did not stir nor answer,
To the words his children said:
Low at the dear Gods altar
lie knelt in the moonlight, dead

The Great and Small.

While the telescope reveals to us an I'M
imagined intinity of created matter, it at
the same time extends the limits of proba-
bility, and gives to our conceptions uni
verse beyond the utmost powers of the
glass, boundless and illimitable. The i'm
agination wearies itself in searching for
some possible limit. Our Earth is centre
for its moon, our sun centre for the earth
The sun itself is describing an orbit of I'M
counted millions of years about some great
centre, and this last centre must necessari-
ly have centre for its support, and SO on
to an infnity of centres, an absolute infnityof
centres, to say nothing of the universes that
hang about each centre, with intervening
spaces, beyond all possibility of collision.
A limit to creation is as utterly impos-
sible as limit to duration.
And 80 in the other direction there is an
infinitely greater world beyond the powers
of the microscope than that which it re
veals to us. The best microscope may pos
sibly detect an object one one hundred
thousandth part of an inch in extent, but
water and gases which the best microscope
pronounces utterly free from visible objects
are found by transmitted rays to be perfectly
crowded with them, and there is as certain
ly greater world of infnitesimals beyond
this second revealed world, as that the ra-
dius lengthens as you go out from the CEN
tire.
The utmost powers of chemistry and
glasses are left utterly lame and deficient.
It is. possible in numbers to find an nfin-
itesimal SO small that it shall be contained
in another inlinitesimal an infinite number
of times, that is, quantity so much small
CT than an inconceivably small quantity,
that the former shall be contained in the
latter a number of times inconceiyably
great, and so in atoms, there are organic
ed particles so small, that it would take
an infinite number of them to make, in
bulk, the very smallest organism revealed
by the most powerful microscope, and SC
on, time without end. G. G. C.

Corn and Hogs.

From carefully conducted experiments,
by different persons, it has been ascertain
ed that one bushel OF corn will make lit
tie over ten and one half pounds of pork,
gross Taking the result as q basis, the
following deductions are made, which all
our farmers would do well to lay by for a
convenient reference:
When corn sells for 15i cents per bush
el, pork costs II cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bushel,
pork costs 2 cents pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork
costs 3 cents a pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel, pork
costs cents pound.
When corn costs so cents per bushel,
pork costs cents pound.
The following statement shows what the
farmer realise on his corn when sold in the
form of pork:
When pork sells for cents per pound it
brings 25 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for cents per pound it
brings SO cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for cents per pound it
brings As cents per bushel in corn Jour-

How to Estimate the Profits of a Farm.

The farmer lives in his own house. The
| use of the house, which he does not pay Tor
is as much part of his income as the money
a salaried man pays for rent, is of his, and
should be counted as such in an estimate
of the profit of the farm. All things pro-
duced on the farm and consumed on the
farmers table, including the vegetables
from the garden, the eggs and milk used
in cooking, are as much part of his income
as the money paid for such things out of
his salary is of the salaried man. fla far
mer gives his wife and children pleasant
ride to town, using his own horse and wa
gon, the value of their use is part of his in
come from his farm, as truly as the money
the other man pays out OF his salary for
carriage hire Of his.
The correct rule for estimating the in
come for farm is substantially this: Give
credit for every article produced used or
expended in any way whatever, no matter
how small in value, as well as for cash re-
ceived for products sold, and for increase
in value of farm property, and charge
against the farm for interest on capital in
vested, and for all expenditures. The far
mer that will do this from year to year.
will not so much feel like complaining of
the appropriateness or farming as compar-
ed with other pursuits. The fact is, that
not one in hundred farmers take into con-
sideration the luxury and comforts of fresh
eggs, butter, milk, fruits, &c., that they
would have to pay high prices for if they
lived in towns, or do without them.-Psn-

The PerfOrating Power Of Roots,

1t is indeed wonderful how easily the
roots of plants and trees bore through hard,
impacted soils in search of nourishment
They use for this purpose sort of awl, of
immense power, situated at the end of the
root, and capable, with the aid of the root
machinery, of thrusting aside heavy weights,
and getting through almost any obstruc-
tions. Yet the awl consists only of a mass
of microscopic or absorbent cells formed
by protoplasm or vegetable mucus-the
fluid in which vital action is first set up
The roots of the elm and the maple will
bore through the hardest soil of walks or
streets, enter drains, Irvine about water.
pipes and penetrate through the seams of
stone and brick structures The roots of
some plants have been known to pass
through eighteen inches of solid brick
work, and make their appearance in wine
cellar below. Plants have vast power in
overcoming obstacles when toraging for
food. They arc like hungry animal
| which no fence can restrain when there is
food beyond. The movements of roots in
soils proceed on certain principles of utili-
ty in connection with the welfare of the
plant Some need much more moisture
than Others, and the roots will drive
through rocks to obtain it; others need 81
licious food, and will penetrate through
clay bank to reach the desired foraging
ground. The urgency with which nature
drives plants and animals in pursuit eff
food is almost resistible.-JounaI Of

Republican County Convention.
The Republican party of Gallia
County will held its annual County
Convention, for the present year, at
the Court House in Gallipolis, on
SATURDAY, SEPT. 18th, commencing at
eleven o'clock A. M.
1t will be the duty of said Conven-
ton to nominate the following can
didates, to-wit: One Clerk of the
Court of Common Pleas; one Sur
veyor; one county Commissioner and
one Infirmary Director. Also to ap-
point Republican Central Commit
tee for said county for the ensuing
year, and to transact any other bust
ness that may properly come be-
fore it.
The basis for apportioning dele
gates to said convention, to the sew
eral townships and wards in said
county, as agreed upon by the COM
mittee, is one delegate for every
twenty-five votes cast for Edward F.
Moves, for Governor, at the last an
nual election, with an additional dele
gate for every fraction of twelve
votes and over, so cast at said cleo
tion.
The several townships and wards
in said county, under such apportion-
ment, are entitled to representation
in said convention as follows:

After the funeral, kind words for
the deceased are in order, which leads
me to remark that our lamented new
Constitution was not considered as be-
ing so much worse than the old one
as the heavy vote against it would
seem to indicate.
The opposition to it began before it
was brought forth, when the Consti-
tutional Convention adjourned to Gin
cinnati; it was intended partly as
rebuke to the Convention for taking
up so much time in accomplishing so
little. 1, in company with many
other of your country friends, voted
against it with the conviction that
there were many good points in it;
still we considered the old one as
'good enough" and while we were,
some of us, taking our first lessons
in economy, we did not wish to coun-
tenance such an eXtravagant waste of
time and money as was exhibited by
the Constitutional Convention. So
was not wholly the fault of the new
Constitution, but the unfortunate
manner of its bringing forth, which
contributed greatly to its defeat.
But, at the same time, there were
other causes which would probably
have defeated it; the two principal
of which were opposition to License
and Railroad aid.
Besides their vote against License
and against Railroad aid, the people
knew that they had second, and
better chance, to defeat both by uni
ting the two opposing elements and
voting down the whole thing.
This election shows among other
things, that no newspaper has
enough influence on its readers to
make them vote for what they con
slider a wrong, for instance, the Gin
cinnati Gazette and the License
question.
Think it safe to say that not one
in ten Of the Gazette readers voted
for License.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-At very late
hour last Saturday night H. W. RAN
KIN and LEWIS kennedy made an eff
fort to destroy the lock up, and did
succeed in injuring it to some extent;
but as luck would have it, Mayor
RANKIN was up attending to some
business at the time, and saw the
gentlemen, and next morning had
them taken in out of the wet. The
lookup not being finished, they had
to be held over until Monday, which
gave them a chance to slip the Mar
shall, which they did, and we hope they
may never make their appearance in
our village again. But if they do l
think we will save them. The au-
thorities have been watching those
two chaps for some time.
Mayor RANKIN is talking of put
ting another story on his house,
which will make it three stories
high, the only three story house in
the township. The lookup will be
finished to-day.
