The Earn is the Place to Make
 Men.

Glancing through our list of successful business men, we find that a large propotion ofthem re- ceived their early molding for
 life-work upon the farm. Our leading professional men were trained in the common schools of the country, and there were taught
 habits of industry and frugality
 which are at the foundation of their success.
 Country boys, farmers sons, that work upon the farm sum mers, attend school winters five days in the week and work at home Saturdays, may think their lot pretty hard when compared with their favored friends in the city. But did they but know it, this discipline of labor and self denial gives them an appreciation of education and advantages that city boys never possess. Country boys invariably love to go to school; city boys hate the school room; and in this very fact large ly lies the cause of the ranks of successful men in all walks of life being filled by men whose early boyhood was spent in the country.
 Boys verging on manhood in the city feel that they have more than the farmer boys. They spend more money, with no real benefits accruing from 1t, and the result is the form alton of habits that act diamet- rlcauy opposite to success. Four generations away from the farm spells this stock, and there must be new importations direct from the country to give strength to business and brofes- ssonal life. Men forget to what they owe their success and in their desire to give their children the best of advantages do that which enervates rather than strengthens. They may stuff with

Factories vs. Farms.

From tine Iron Age.l
 Manufactories are magical in their working. On the border of the Connecticut Valley lies ter ritory rocky and wild, whose peo pie twenty years ago were, like their fathers of happy memory, poor and blessed with many chil- dren. The hungry raven passed it hastily by, and even the wild fox refused to make it's hole in it's hillsides. Through this little valley flowed tiny brook which bore away to the Connecticut river the surplus rain and illspared soil, the loss of the latter causing the rocky surface to spread out wider and wider year by year. A Maine fellow chanced that way, and after frequent libations-not from the brook. but at the grocery-told the gaping farmers the brook was their fortune. Some giggled at this, others shook their heads all agreed he was either mad or fool. Incensed at their verdict, he mounted whisky barrel, and gave them a most sensible talk about cooperative unions, utiliz- ing water power, etc. When he ended his speech, they wished they hadn't laughed. They went to work. The brook was widened, they damned it above the village. The farmers pulled down their old blue stockings, and put all their hard money into the enterprise some fifty, some hundred and some a thousand dollars. They built their factories and elected officers. A year ago I passed that place. Twenty-one factories dot that brook, five thousand people dwell about or in that village, which formerly contained hun dred souls, and that community is one of the wealthiest and most intelligent to be found in the nut meg state.

A dark house is always an un- healthy house, always an ill-aired hou2e, always 8 dirty house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, etc, among children. People lose their health in a dark house, and if they get i'll, they cannot get well again in it. Three, out of many instances of negligence and igno- rance in managing the health of houses, I will here mention as specimens. First, that the female head in charge of any building does not think it necessary to air, to sun and clean rooms, while oc- cupied. Third. that one window is considered enough to air room.-Florence Nightingale.

Philosophy of Intempcrance.

Philosophy of Intempcrance.
 The British Medical Associa- tion, at its recent meeting in Lon don, devoted considerable time in the discussion of habitual drunk enness, which, by several physi clans, was>spoken of as species of celebral disease and insanity. Dr. Peddie of Edinburgh, divided drunkards into four classes: First, those who inherit the propensity for intemperance; second, those eyince it as tho chief manifesto tion of some form of cerebral disease; third, those who are aff- ected with it as a result of inju- ry of the head, severe fever or other wasting bodily ailment, mental shock, heavy grief, reverse of fortune, and, indeed, causes similar to those anteceding some other insanities; and fourth, those who acquire it through a course of vicious indulgence in stimu- lants. It was important, he said, to determine the boundary line between the vice and disease of intemperahce; and of the latter when combined with mental dis order, independent of alcoholism, and to treat it accordingly. Other physicians held views, regarding drunkenness as species of insan- ity demanding restraint and treat ment such as is given to mildly insane patients.

CINCINNATI, September 23.-The Ga,
zette's special from Bellefontaine, Ohio,
says that yesterday Miss Laughlin, a
young lady aged sixteen, accompanied
a man named Schell and his wife on an
excursion to the reservoir, several miles
distant. Mrs. Schell being fatigued, was
left with the team, and Schell, with the
young lady, started after wild plums.
Schell returned without Miss Laugblin,
stating that she had strayed from him,
and he couldn't find her. An alarm was
given, and search made, resulting in
finding the body of the young lady this
morning, nearly nude, her throat cut
from a to ear, and the grass around
the spot showing that a desperate strug-
gle had occurred. Schell, though sus-
pected, was not arrested until this after
noon, and upon examination, a bloody
knife was found in his pocket. He is
now under arrest, with a heavy guard
around him. to protect him from the ex.
cited people. :
