Does farming pay? Does anything but farming
pay? Is it not the source Of all individual wealth,
the foundation Of our national prosperity 1t is
true farmers do not, as general thing, get large
salaries not many Of them are millionaires;--
wealth does not come in upon them like water
into leaky boat. They generally give an equiv
alent for what they get, and learn the real value
Of dollar by the amount of labor they give in
acquiring il. Sometimes the TIDE efevents turns
in their favor Like men in other occupations,
we hear most about the rich and successful
Real success and true manhood are not to be
measured by the amount of wealth that enc ac-
ouires. We like rich men best who are rich in
good works: whose wealth is over shadcwed BY
wealth of heart. Bat very often those who roll
in wealth are net kind and true; the best spokes
in their wheels of fortune are spokes of greed
andselfshness. Every person who produces more
than he consumes, who is self-sustaining, honest
and Industrious is successful in the best sense OF
the term. 1t is far better to leave treasure OF
kind thoughts, righteous actions, and hallowed
memories, than to leave million of dollars if
they were acquired by taking mean advantage
of the generous and unsuspecting, who dsdain
to exchange homer for wealth.
Men that amass fabulous fortunes rapidly, by
cheating better men than themselves, are not
good men to set before our young farmers as ex-
amples 1t is better for all when million mon
gain a. dollar each, by productive industry on
the farm, or the loom or the anvil, than that one
reckless, Fortunate adventurer should become 9
millionaire The greatest good comes to the great
est number, when great numbers are moderately
successful. We are so anxious to do great things
that the plain duties of every day ife are apt tc
be neglected. A farm well managed, virtueui
life, happy family and acomfortable home, are
hoaers and success enough.
True, lasting and real success is enjoyed where
class of men like farmers do well in the aggre'
gate, and during their whole lives. The grea
majority of farmers, by living lives Of industry
and economy, are safe and solvent, and never
need bankrupt law to protect them. Wher
periods of commercial disaster sweep over thu
land and mercantile establishments and bushes:
men go down like reeds before the blast, farmer
stand like apple trees in their orchards, shaking
down fruit during all the storm, and gaining
strength Of root and vigor Of fiber, while bat

New Books.

The :" Autobiography of Mrs. Fletcher is
large and handsome duodecimo from the press
Of Roberts Brothers, Boston. The book has been
enlarged by many letters and some additional
notes, from the original design, it having been
prepared, in the first instance by the autobigra-
pher for her own family only. She was an Eng
lish girl who married an Edinburg lawyer, late
in the last century; and living at the Scotch cap
ital with frequent visits to other points in the
insular kingdom, established an intimacy with
many of the most distinguished men and women
of her time. Among these were Joanna Baltic
Mrs. Barbauld, Mrs. Fry Campbell, Crabbe,
Wordsworth, Lord Jeffrey, Lord Brougham Lord
Erskine, Lafayette Mazzini, Dr. Arnold, Rogers
Miss Edgeworth and scores of others who were
celebrated These all figure in this very delight
full narrative, the simplicity and sincerity of
which are conspicuous on every page. Although
making no pretensions as an author, Mrs
Fletcher wrote the purest English, and occasion
ally lndulged in poetry, even when she had
passed the age of four-score. The great charm
of the autobiography is in its pictures of
domestic love and friendship. AS picture of
serene home life in Great Britain, the volume
has high value. We receive it through Bough-
man, Thomas q. Co, Of this city, from the pub
fishers.
Roberts Bros. have brought out very hand
some illustrated holiday volume octave, of
Jean Ingeiows poems, in fine binding, with red
lined margins, and many fine engravings.
There are several of these in the book, the first
being 'The Shepherd Lady," and giving title
to the volume. The others are mostly short
ballads, some of them in the sweetest best form
of their author. None of them have before been
published in any American collection of Miss
Ingelow's poetry.

A DIsCoURTE0Us AND INACCURATE DIS
PUTANT

The Morning Herald, though protesting de-
sire to explore the relations of ilhteracy and
crime In the candid interest Of developing the
truth, assumes manner, both on Monday and
this morning, which does not support it's own
professions 1t s, fact, extremely discourteous,
and, as it invites, by its own manners, the state
ment of the factwe obliged to say that it is as
inaccurate as 1t is discourteous and that while it
may not have falsi6ed its citations from author
tiles, (this s what it charges the COMMERCIAL
with doing,) it has by no means presented them
with correctness. We do not mean, to-day, to
go fully into the discussion Of the points at is
sue, tive shall be ready to do 30, presently but
we will simply remark here, that the Herald, if
it desires candid and friendly discussion, must
comport itself with little more courtesy; and we
also at this time point out few of the errors in
it's article Of this morning. These are
1. We quoted the comparative percentage of
adults, in and out of the New York penitentia-
ries, who "could not read Now to correct this
the Herald proceeds to cite figures of ''persons
ooer ten gears Of nge" who could not ,crite we
stated two facts, and it attempts to show that
they are 'false," by producing and paradng two
entirely different ones And even in this 1t is
inaccurate, for it gives 239,271 the number OF
persons in New York, in 1870, who ''could not
read or write" whereas, as we have said above
this is the number who 'could not write.
There were 1885 persons who could not read
2. AS to the question whether we quoted
falsely or with equiyocation, any one may sec
the facts which we stated in the "Transactions
of the National Congress on Penitentary ant
Reformatory Discipline, held at Cincinnati, oc
tober 1918, 1870"
g. As these transactions" we're in 1870, the
comparative figures referring to New York, quo
ted at that time, were from the Census of 1860
II the Herald will turn to that Census it will fint
that the whole population of that State was thel
$3.50, 1885, and the total number OF illiterate,
121, ,S7S-this counting as well those outside a
those inside the penitentiaries, and including no
only those who could not read, but all VIII
'could not read and ,erite" and with theee ad
ditions making triile over three per cent a
was stated.
Having pointed out these manifest errors, TO
the purpose, simply, Of checking our neighbo
in his impetuous skimmng over the surface o
things, we shall return to the subject more ful
ly, hereafter, but we may reiterate, here, on
proposition of Saturday. that
All the reports on penal subjects, all til
transactions of prison reform Congresses, ar
full of the proof, drawn from ample statistics
that ignorance is the fruitful parent of crime
and that education-public school education
raises the standard of conduct and is chec
upon wrong-doing.
