If the American farmer wishes to keep
his children near him, he must learn the
difference between living and getting a
living; and we mistake him and his
gradSof culture altogether If he does not
stop over this statement and wonder
what we mean by it. 70 get a living, to
make money, to become "forehanded"-
this is the whole of life to agricultural
multitudes, discouraging in their NUM-
bers to contemplate. 70 them there is
no difference between living and getting
a living. Their whole life consists in
getting a living; and when their families
come back>to them for their schooling,
and find that, really, this is the only pur-
suit that has any recognition under the
paternal roof, they must go away. The
boys push to the centers Of the cities,
and the girls follow them if they can. A
young man or a young woman, r1ised to
the point where they apprehend the diff
ference between living and getting liv-
aug, can never be satisfied with the latter
alone. Either the farmers Children must
be kept ignorant, or provision must De
made for their socal wants. Rraln.ss anu
hearts need food and clothing as well as
bodies; and those who have learned to
recognize brains and hearts as the best
and most important part Of their per-
can find the ministry they need. what
Sc this remedy? How shall farmers man

How can we discourage the influx Of un-
necessary - nay, Durdensome-p populaS
ti0ns into the citiesf We answer? By
making agricultural society attractive.
Fill the farmhouse with periodicals and
books. Establish central reading-rooms,
or neighborhood clubs. Encourage the So
cial meeting Of the young. Have con-
certs, Lectures, amateur dramatic asso-
Citations. Etablish a bright, active, So
cial life, ,thar shall give. some significance

sible, In villages. 1t is better to 80 a
mile to ones daily labor than to place
ones self mile away from neighbor.
The isolation OF american farm-life is
the great curse of that life, and it falls

the men can not appreciate, and drives

The Investigating Committee still in
vestigates the W ood county matter. The
only testimony of Importance to-day was
that OF Mr.. Gordon, who stated that

that they told him he could get 500 for
his vote, and that If he voted for it a
cigar would be given him. which, when
unrolled, would be found to contain $100.
The parties making the offers of money
were, he said, Judge Haag, McCooley,
and Hiram Murlin.
