earn more, and thus the higher civilization
will be established for the age by the gen
eral aggregate of individual intelligence in
the masses.
A home should be regarded as a perman-
ent institution. If it is regarded simply as a
temporary s~topping-place, much less inter-
est will be taken in permanent improve
ments.
Trees chould be planted and trained,
grounds adorned and beautified, year by
year. Fruit trees and small fruits may be
provided with but little labor, and nothing
about the farm pays better or affords a more
desirable luxury.
The choicest breeds of various domestic
animals may be gradually introduced, and
while it costs less to keep them, they and
their products will bring a much better
price in the market than the inferior native
grades in common use.
Lay out your farm SO it will be suited to a
variety of crops. AS the general farm is
improved, letthe ornamental keep pace with

form an attraction for every passer-by. The
necessities of life need hardly take our entire
first attention. The ornamental may be
made to go hand in hand with it, and thus
serve to Tighten what would otherwise be
more serious labor.
Every farmers family should be taught
some higher aspirations than mere animal
desires. The love of the beautiful should be
cultivated, and the mind trained to know
the difference between a specimen of real
art and poor imitation between music and
unearthly noises ; between a creditable
painting a ten-cent colored Autograph be-
tween a room tastefully, neatly, and well
arranged, and one filthy and only the pic
ture of disorder and consequently a dis
grace.
All this will take time. The work of hui
man growth is slow. Men are not fitted for
either earth or heaven in an hour, a day, or
a year, even; but it is a life-work and makes
up our life, and what we thus make it by
our practices and our loves it will be apt to
remain.
Study to have your home pleasant in all
that goes to make it complete and it will be
much easier to be good and to do good than
if surrounded with litter and filth, with dis
order and observation-disclosures Stock Jour-

THE / G NJ { CIRCLE.
HONoR TO QUE WORKMEN.

Whom shall we call our heroe32
To whom praises sing?
The pampered child of fortune,
The titled lord CT king?
They live by others labor
Take all and nothing give;
The noblcst type Of manhood
Are those who work to live.
Then honor to our workmen,
Our hardy sons Of toll
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil.
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace dome?
Who creates for the rich man
The comforts of Il home?
It is the patient toiler!
All honor to him then;
The true wealth of the nation
Is in her working men.
For many Dafrcn ages
Earth hid her treasure deep,
And all her giant forces
Seemed bound as in q sleep;
Then Labor's "anvil chorus"
Broke on the startled air,
And 10! the earth in rapture
Laid all her riches bare.
TITS toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control,
And puri1ies and hnllows
The temples of his soul.
It scatters foul diseases,
With all the CHASTITY trains;
Puts iron in the muscle,
And crystal in the brain.
The Grand Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out the earth,
Hath stamped his seal of honor
On Labor from her birth.
In every angel flower
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the Master touches
The handiwork of God!
Then honor to our Workmen,
The hardy sons Of toll
The heroes Of the workshops,
The monarchs of the soil!

GOLDEN EAVES.


MAYBE andmay-not-be associate together.
AN obedient wife controls her husband.
MONEY masters more than it serves.
BREATHE not thy secrets aloud; the ''yery
walls play the eavesdropper.n
True glory is seldom found on the road to
wealth.
WE know not what life is until it is half
gone.
BEAUTY and folly are frequent compan
ions.
The heart is a child; it hopes what it
wishes.
If YOU would win success, be punctual,
courteous, honest, economical, agreeable in
your personal habits, and rcgardful of your
health.
STAND upon the edge of the world, ready
to take wing-having your feet on earth,
your eyes and heart in heaven.
To THE blessed eternity itself there is no
other handle than the present.
MEN, by their own self-greatness, destroy
themselves, as a tree that is heavy laden
with fruit breaks its WI boughs.
WEALTH of character is more rare than
wealth Of purse.
TEMPTATION haunts the ways of idleness.
A GOOD deed we'll done-how well it
makes us feel.
PLEASANT smiles are often worn upon the
faces of those whose hearts throb with
w~retchedness.
GRIEF, often silent as the falling snow, il
equally overwhelming.
Joy comes bursting upon us like an April
shower, in large heavy drops, and dries up
as soon.
A CLEAR conscience wins for it's possessor
peace, happiness and pleasure.
A SMILE costs the giver nothing, yet it is
beyond price to the erring and repenting,
the sad and cherries, the lost and forsaken.
1t disarms malice, subdues temper, turns
ennity to love, revenge to kindness, and
paves the darkest paths with gems of sun
light.
No MAN was ever a greatman who wanted
to be one. In order that we may achieve
any species Of greatness, we must be utterly
unconscious of the way in which we arrive
at it. Everything that we do we must do
either from a sense of duty or from the pleas
ure of it. And we must never trouble our
selves about the consequences. We must
never say, 81 will be at the head.n
REV. DANIEL WALDO once said: II am
now an old man. Ihaye seen near a century.
Do you want to know how to grow old
slowly and happily? Let me tell you. Al
ways eat slowly-masticate well. Go to
your occupation smiling. Keep q good ma
ture and soft temper everywhere. Cultivate
a good memory, and to do this you must be
communicative repeat hatyouhave read;
talk about it. DR.. Johnson's great memory
was owing to his communicativeness.
How many think to atone for the evil they
have done by the good they intend to do,
and are only %virtuous in the prospective.
EVERY one must find out for himself the
KEY to the riddle of life. 1t is of no use to
have it told. Some do not hear, while others
misunderstood it.
Look on the bright side of things, for
J none are so unhappy as those who IRE for
ever thinking how hard their lot is, and how
much better off others are. Think of those
who have less, and life viii be joyous.
IT Is VAIN to hope to please all alike. Let
a man stand with his face in what direction
he will, he must necessarily turn his back

THE suit of III eodore Tilton against
Henry Ward Beecher had yesterday
reached the hundred and thirteenth
day of its proceedings. When it was
called for trial in the Brooklyn city
court on the fourth of January, the
general expectation set ii down as q
two months case. The utmost limit
then prophesied by the more far-sight-
ed members of the bar, did not extend
beyond the end of April. Beginning
In midwinter, 1t mas closed in the
hottest day thus far experienced in
summer. A principal feature of this
great trial has been the verbatim re-
port of the proceedings each morning
in the Tribune. During the rendition
of the evidence 1t not unfrequently alb
sorbed more than three pages of the
paper, and sometimes four; the reports
of speeches of counsel, though long In
themselves, did not occupy as much
daily space as the evidence by at
least third. Il is within bounds TO
say that | 800 columns of the Tribune
have been devoted to this trial. New

The Peoples n,sns-No Nominations.

To the Editor OF tho Dallas Herald
Your article in yesterdays HER
AID, showing up by actual figures
the ovorpoworing opposition OF the
Democracy Of Dallas county TO
making nominations for the Consti.
tutional convention, has the ring Of
true Democracy in IT, 1t but pro.

against rings and trickstcrs,
Now, sir, ono who has beon n lilo

his party-no, never once in life
desires TO direct the attention of the
honest mass Of the Domocracy-the
farmers, mechanics, merchants and
all men interested in the welfare Of
tho country--to n few plain facts.
Democracy means the rule OF the
people, their right to selt-govorn-
ment as against the rule Of kings,
princes, cliques, rings, monopolsts,
trickstcrs and all others not in and
of tho great laboring, producing
mass.
Tho Democratic party has always
favored nominations when necessa-
ny to its unity and success rs
against common enemy-not 9TH
orwise. Whenever cliques, rings or
mere handsiul of men have met and
assumed to dictate nominees to tho
many, the party has been weakened,
divided and often defeated, rs it
ought to be in all such cases. In
this election the Democracy OF BAL

ventior.
When the people desire nominal
lions they turn out and attend meet
ings. This is proved by facts in
our own county. For instance, in
1872, when John Henry Brown was
nominated for the Legislature, ,l25
Democrats (since when our vote has
more than doublcd) attended the
precinct meetings. In 1873, when
John III. Cochran was nominated
about 1900 attended the meetings.
But more significant than all, at the
primary elections on tho 18th of
October, 1873, we have the grand
spectacle Of 1876 Democrats voting
their choice in nominating county
officers, being really larger vote
than was given by both parties at
