From the Young Folks Rural.
Farming.

Many say that farming is q hard
working poor paying, but an honest
way of getting living. This is not
80. Farming,if carried on right, en-
tails hard work, yet there is money
to be made, as many q man who has
made himself rich by farming will
testify. So, boys, don't give up yet
but stay on the old farm; get good
knowledge of farming before you go
out into tho world to make living.
If you wish to farm you cannot know
too much about it; stay thoro and try
your experience boforo you lcavo.
Many boy thinks he knows moro
than he really docs, and tries the
world on his own account; but many
get tired of this and go back to the
place whore they first started, and
agroo to work on ths old farm.
If boy wishes TO mako money, lot
him tako caro- of what ho has, and
save all ho can got. This is fault
with some farmers-they do not tako
caro- Of what they have but leave their
farming tools out through storm and
rain. Every tarmor should have a
house or shod for his plows, harrows,
wagons, hoes, oto., and aftor he raises
his crops ho should not lot tho pigs
destroy them. Tho poot gives us q
little hint about such things, when ho
says:
Oh, farmer Slack! On, farmer Slack
Your pigs arc buried meath stack;
Your sheep havo gorgod themselves with corn
Your COWS have got the hollow horn
Run, farmer Slack! Run for your life!
Run, save your children AMI your TiEo;
Run, run TO save your house on fire;
The flames arc mounting ever higher!
Oh, farmer Slack, you pay too dear!
Why don't you keep your chimney clear?
Green wood will make moro SCOT than dry;
Then cut your wood and "lay it by"
Why, farmer Slack, whore is your plow?
Kcoled up beside the fence, l trow!
Your rake and reaper both arc out,
Why farmer, what arc you about?
Now, farmer Slack, don't blame tho times;
You can't expect to make the dimes;
Your energies have all been bent,
You give the weather ten per cent!

explained the cause of the preceding
events.
When boy of ten, he ran away
from his parents, who were residing
in the city of Amsterdam, and found
employment as cabin boy on
ship bound for Java: For five years
he sailed to different parts of the
world, and had accumulated a con
siderable sum Of money. He con,
cluded, finally, to visit his parents;
but on arriving at Amsterdam he
heard that his father was dead, and
that his mother had again married
and removed to different part of
the country. On heariug this, he
decided at once to ship again, and
since then has sailed all over the
world. Ten years ago he engaged in
business in a Western town and be>
came rich. Two months ago he vise
tied Europe, and in the city of Rot
terdam met with Miss Reuter-, who
had been engaged as governess. A
mutual feeling of respect ended in
love, and his proposal Of marriage
was accepted. She said her parents
were dead, and she had no one to
consult in relation to any steps she
took in life. Ho desired the marriage
to take place before leaving, but,
providentially, the romantic girl
wished it to be at sea, which delay,
as griovous as the results wore, saved
them from fate much worse than
death. On tho evening previous to
their intended marriage Miss Reuter-
spoke of hor mother as having once
lived in Amsterdam, and that she
had boen married twice, This fell
upon his car as the knell Of fate the
namo of his father, the circumstances
of her half brother running away to
sea when he was ten years of age, his
reported death by drowning on the
coast Of France, and tho strange CO.
incidence of his and her lost broth4
er's name being the same. Not no.
ticing tho intense agony depicted on
his face, she drew forth a locket, aud
their mothers portrait was displayed
before them. With voice sound
ing as if from the grave, he graspcd
her by the arm and said: "My God
you are my sistor, my own mothers
daughterl" She gave ono wild in,
credulous look into his face, and
then fell, tainting upon the deck.
The voyage was long one, occu-
pying nineteen days, and before its
termination the young lady was able
to go on deck. She was, however,
but sadow of her former self, and
her restless, vacant look showed that
her mind did not pass that fearful
ordeal unacathed.
Together they concluded it was
better to place the ocean between
thom, and in few days tho unfor
tunate lady will return to her native
Holland. Her brother has made her
a liberal allowance, which will al
ways keep her in easy circumstances,
and however bitterly they may re-
greet their unlucl<y fate, they cannot
but be thankful that their brief ac
q uaintanco ended as it did.

New YORK, May AIRS. Tilton was
asked whether she had kept a copy Of
the document that created a sensation
in the scandal trial yesterday. She
answered: Il have kept a copy, and it
was prepared to be made public, but
until Judge Nelson decides whether or
not to read it in court l do not think it
would be proper for me to let it be pub
lished. It related to the matter of my
not being called as a witness, but to give
summary Of its contents would be
equivalent to the document itself"
Judge Nelson told a reporter late last
oigbt that he had concluded to take no
acton with reference to Mrs, Tilton's
Communication. Iu the present state of
the matter be- could not see that any
action by the court was called for. In
case Mrs. Tilton saw ft to make some
further Communications he might take
some steps in the matter, but as the Ease
now stood there was nothing for him to
do. BE would not either haye,it read
or published, but if Mrs. Tilton desired
to publish it he would return the COM
munication to her at any time she might
choose to send for it.

ply ask that a wronged wife and injured
woman may be permitted to meet the
cslumnies Of a perjured man and faith
less husband. Midnight is as daylight
when contrasted with bis treachery.
The father Of lies is an angel Of purity
when c~ontrasted with this monumental
hypocrite. l seek no sanction, l crave
no publicity, but, for my sake, for my
children's sake, and for the sake of wo-
manhood throughout the world, / re-
specially ask the precious boon of self
defense against the beastIy opslaughts Of
a brutal husband.
