behalf of the members Of the Sabbath
School presented to her as slight token
of their respect and esteem, an elegant
easy chair which cost $40. Mrs. Noble
was deeply affected by this surprising
testimonial, but responded in brief
manner, speaking with peculiar tender
ness of the kindness which had always
been manifested to her by the members
of the Sunday School and the Parish.
Mrs. Noble has labored earnestly and
faithfully to promote the interests OF the
Sabbath School, and this token will con-

friends here, of her labors as an earnest

A contest has sprung up in Maine for
II. S. Senator. Senator Hamlin whom
we have all been wont to hold in high
esteem, is candidate for reelection.
He has held the office for great while,
SO long that it seems to us he could well
afford to yield to the desire for new
man. This holding on" by men who
have SO long held public positions, has
been very prominent in many places in
swapping the republicans during the
past year, and one who has been in the
public service for quarter of a century
ought to cheerfully heed the voice tor
a change. Let us not always be Obliged
to witness a contest between the old and
young.

A BREACH. = The New Hampshire
State Board Of Agriculture is suffering
from rupture caused by too heavy a
lift on the woman question. Mr.. Law
renee, member of the Board for Rock
ingham County, during the last summer
prepared paper upon woman and her
position on the farm, in which he gave
expression to some very radical ideas.
He read the paper at one Of the meet
ings of the Board in Coos County, when
the Board repudiated it and voted that
it should be read no more. Mr.. Law
renee, however, acceded to the request
of the audience gathered at anotherplace
and, against the protest of his brethren
repeated the paper. The Board was fu-
rious, and Mr.. Lawrence was not in the
best of humor, and finally Mr.. Lawrence
resigned and will hereafter read his es
says as private citizen.
Brother Lawrence, through this act OF
the Board, has got a free advertisement
which will make his lecture sought fol
everywhere. We hope he will at al
early day deliver it in the goodly city

most farmers would need, yet the gener-

b. f. SLEEPER.-If we are to build
with view to,economy, all will agree
that the stone wall cellar is the true
plan. If the walls are eight or nine
feet high, and the stables made perfectly
tight, it occurs to me that for nine rea-
sons against one, we should adopt the
plan. Those barns with the pitching
and feeding floors are PROFESSIONALLY
labor-saving, money-paying barns
This was the universal opinion of the
club, though of course few men owning
meadow farms could avail themselves of
the advantages thus to be gained. Prei-
udice is a potent force among men, yet

moved on condition that they should be

trations that many in town are as dry
and healthy, and some even more so,
than many neighboring sheds entirely
above ground. 1t was conceded by four
fifths of the number present that stables
placed over swine, if made with tight
floors, are the most convenient and de
sirable of any in use. A much larger
number were agreed in the plan of put

progress of the movement for the con-
solidation of the two school districts at

that measure so beneficial to educa-

Blessings Of Economy.

Either a man must be content with pow
erty all his life, or else be willing to deny
himself some luxuries, and save, to lay the
base of independence in the future. But il
a man defies the future. aud spends all he
earns, (whether his earnings be one dollar or
ten dollars every day) let him look for lean
and hungry want at some future time-for II
VIII surely come no matter what he thinks
To save is absolutely the only way TO get
a solid fortune; there ia no other certain
mode. Those who shut their eyes aud ears
to these plain facts will be forever poor and
for their obstinate rejection of the truth, may.
hap, will die in rags and filth. Let them so
die, and thank themselves. But, no they
take a sort Of recompense in cursing fortune
Great waste Of breath
They might as well curse mountains and
eternal hills. For | can tell them fortune
does not give away her real and substantial
goods. She sells them TO the highest bidder
10 the hardest and wisest worker for the
boon. Men never make so fatal mistake
as when they think themselves creatures Of
fate it is the sheerest folly in the world.
Every man may make or mar his life,
whichever he may choose. Fortune is for
those who, by diligence, honesty, frugality,
place themselves in position to grasp hold of
fortune when it appears in view. The best
evidence Of frugality is the five hundred dol
lars or more standing in your name at the
savings bank The best evidence of hon
esty is both diligence and frugaity.
