ACTIVITY is NOT ALWAYS EN-
ERGE.

There are some men whose fail
ure to succeed in life is a problem
to Others, as well as to themselves.
They are industrious, prudent and
economical; yet after a long life Of
striving, old age fluids them still
poor. They complain of i'll luck.
They say fate is always against
them. But the fact is that they
miscarry because they have mis-
taken mere activity for energy
Confounding two things essentially
different, they have supposed that
if they were always busy they
would be certain TO be advancing
their fortunes. They have forgot
that misdirected labor is but a
waste of activity. The person who
would succeed in life is like a
marksman firing at a target; if bis
shots miss the mark, they r a
waste Of ammunition. So in the
great game Of life what a mar does
must be made to count, orfC might
almost as well have been left un-
done. Everybody knows some one
IN his circle of friends who, though
always active, has this want of en-
ergy, The distemper, if may call
it such, exhibits itself in various
ways. In some cases the mar has
merely an executive faculty when
he should have a directive one; in
other cases, what is done is not
done either at the right time or in
the right way. Energy, correctly
understood, is activity proportion
ed to the end.-Sctemt{fc 1mert-

III no FENCE LAW.
fTom the knraI onn.

lTIOm the huIhl cuns
/ wish you TO indulge me with a
few observations in your columns,
on a subject which / think should
interest US all, and especially the
patrons Of Husbandry throughout
the State. 1t is q subject which
has had the attention Of some of
the legislatures of the older States
and has become q law In some To-
calities, and is pronounced to work
admirably. ! have reference to
the "no-fence law" Since the pa
irons Of husbandry have taught
the agricultural mind to think on
some important subject, manifestly
to their own interests. i trust it
wilfnot be long before they will
urge upon our farmers and upon
the citizens sgenerally throughout
our State, the great importance of
the enactment az such a law. Our
legislatures have been working on
old fence laws for years back, and
the last legislature changed the
laws on the subject in some sespects
but what did 1T amount to! Did
they better it for the interest Of the
farmer or even any one that only
had so much as a garden spotl BY
no means. In fact all the laws on
the subject that cumber our statute
books are of 10 effect, and avail
the farmer nothing in the destruc-
ton of the crops by worthless
brutes, and IN most cases the prop
erty of irresponsible parties. We
want such law as the progressive
spirit of the age calls the "no-fence
law Agriculture on the CONT
nent of Europe and in Great Brit
ain, as well as in some localities of
the United States, has long since
been freed from such expensive
burdens. And now, in the name
of all that is right, just and equita-
be, let our next legislature enact a
law compelling every mar TO take
care Of bis own stock, and do not
compel me or my neigbbor to ex-
pect protection for our crops under
the laws we now have on the sub
iect against the vile fence breaking
brutes of irresponsible parties.
OF the many burdens laid upon
the broad back of agriculture,none
are so great as the old fence laws
that our legislatures have been an
acting from time to time in years
gone by. We want now a law en-
forcing every person owning stock
to provide for and care for them,
making every mans brute s,raying
off his premises liable to be taken
up, placed in a pound and sold to
the highest bidder, without there
is a good and lawful excuse for
such estray. Before a man now
enjoys his real estate he has to en-
close highlands, at a cost, IN many
instance s.&aats value in fee simple,
and annually at a cost Of about
ten per cent. on the original outlay.
If we had such a law in our State
our farmers would be greatly re-
lieved, and our forests would not
suffer so much destruction. We
would like TO hear from some of the
contributors to your columns on
this subject, and how the pulse of
the patrons of husbandry beats On
the same. Respectfully,
r q WITIIs.

A GOOD WORD FOR THE BLACK
RaRDS.

A farmer writes from Woods
Hole to the Boston Advertiser:
A few days ago, as the barley in
my sfields was ripening, the
blackbirds began to gather
about it, and my farmer began to
anathematize them as thieves and
robbers, feeding upon what they
did not sow "Why, they Gomez

and all about u.s." Notwithstand-
ing, | told HIM | was satisfied they
did more good than harm, and that
they were welcome to their share.

mowers reached the middle Of the
field they found the stalks Of the
grain very much stripped and cut
by the army worm. When the

10Th WRONG.

The following anecdote of Chief
Justice Chase is told by the Toledo
Commercial: Soon after Chief-Jus-
tice Chase assumed the guberpato-
rial chair of Ohio, he issued his
proclamation appointinga Thanks
giving Day. TO make sure of be-
ing orthodox, the Governor com
posed his proclamation almost en-
tirely oil passages from the Bible,
which he did not designate as quo
tations, presuming. that ever one
would recognize them, and admire
the fitness of the words as well as
the taste in their selections. The
proclamation meeting the eye of
Democratic editor, he pounced at
once upon it, and declared that he
had read it before-couldn't exact
ly say where-but he would take
his oath that it was downright
plagiarism from beginning to end.
That wonld have been a pretty fair
joke: but the next day a Republi-
can editor came out v%aliantly in
defence of the Governor pronounc-
ed the charge libellous, and chal-
lenged any man living to produce
one single line of the proclamation
that had appeared in print before.
THF objects of the Grange must
be kept distinctly in view. All
Patrons ought to know what they
are, and theft mission. Unity Of
action amongst the farmers is Ii
of the cardinal principles. Social,
intellectual, moral and material
improvements are other objects
The Improvement Of the general
condition of the farmer is sought
for, by giving more attention to
public schools, public libraries,
public highways, public laws, and
public men-watchng carefully
their course. to ascertain If they
are true to the best interests of the
people. Farmers are now wide
awake, watchful, seeking Tor light
and information, and the powerful
influence Of the Grange is at the
bottom of it. Sustain your organ
izatiop., 1t is the farmers best
friend. When you are thoroughly
organized, you may expect to de.
rive material and lasting benefits.
