Profits OF Farming.

\ great deal has been said and writ
zen of latn years, as TO The profit or
loss OF farming. On one side it is con-
tented that Il handsome profit can be
realized, on the other. that nothing
but a bare living can be made. Now.
both may be right ina certain sense,
and both wrong. The difference
seems to lie IT, the fact that each per
son looks through u separate medium
and draws his conclusions accordingly.
It is natural! to make differences from
one IS own management, and for this
reason We see such a variety Of onin-
ions III the agricultural discussions Of
the tluv. 70 our mind it is; as clear rs
the noon-.'av SUI, that no business is
more profitable in the long run than
farming. We all remember that a
few Years ;&go--s;y just after lS51--all
that the farmers could Go was to pay
taxes alll support the family-and
come out almost behind at tie end OF
the year-in most cases. Then wheat
was worth 40 cents per bushcl, butter
3 to 5 cents per pound. oats 10 cents
per ln,shel. and eggs three cents per
dozen. But with few exceptions these
same farmers Of the good old terrific
rial days have become well of. Farm
products OF every variety has ruled
high, considering all matters, ever
since The second year Of tl:e war. and
some oi them claim that when
produce is high. the cost Of production
is ?,rcpu,tionalIy increased. a:lt! when
il is low it will not Ply to raise it.
However, farmers Will Sr,mble. One
thing we notice too, Trey have rs we

GRANT has never been much Of n reader;
but we here find him, when n little boy,
long before he went to West Point, so in
tent upon studying the life OF NAPOLEON
UOEAPARTE that he could only be de-
tachcd from it by the destruction OF the
book.
The same schoolmate gives some further
insight into his character Mt that very
early age, strongly illustrative of his bel
lgcrency and stubbornness. lie took no
part in any boyish gnme except SNOWFALL
Nights. In them he delighted. lie was
once numerically logged by the school
master TO make him give up jack knife.
But he did not surrender, and the teacher
gave up I'm despair. We thus have
sketched to our hand, by a schoolmate,
such traits Of character as are most signi-
icant and instructive, In the schoolboy,
who Is now the man IN the White House,
and evidently determined TO remain there.

After ALL the strongest argument I'm IA
vor OF capital punishment is that which Is
implanted in the religious element Of our
nature. Legislators who provide for exc
cutions, and erect the galows consider
that they are only carrying out the Divine
will, as promulgated amid thunders aud
liGhtnings from Mount Sinai: Whosoever
sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his
blood be shed. This, also, is the argument
of clergymen, who prop up the gailows,
and MAINTAIN that one of the most accept
able ways TO do GoD service is TO put out
the lives of his guilty children.
In answer to this, II may be asked, IL vhis
part of the Mosaic code Is 10 be preserved,
why not also its kindred provision /:
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth? And it may
be said If these are to be maintained, then
Christian churches may as well be RACED
TO the earth, because they are wholly at
variance with the sentiments of Chris
tianity, and with its precept; Whosoever
smitcs thee on the one check, turn TO him
the other also.
II seems a little strange, little incOn-
sistent that Christian ministers are usual
ly found among the strongest advocates OF
capital punishment. Yet while they net
on an eye for m eye and tooth for
tooth, and the old Mosaic code, they preach
to the doomed victim awaiting execution
the mild ana benignant doctrines of the
New Testament, forgiveness OF enemio S
and good for evil WHAT must he think Of
their consistencv2

Should We Have to Draft Men,

In the event Of war with Spain or Mexi-
co, or both, could our Government get all
the men II would require for the army and
navy without draftf This is question
of great interest and gravity.
The hard times, the almost universal do
preston OF business, would greatly favor
voluntary enlistments. There are so many
people out of work, and consequently out
or pay. that almost anything which offers
subsistence will command men, now.
The rccollections OF the rebellion would
operate both ways. A military spirit was
engendered by that war; but, on the other
hand, the tremendous losses our troops
sustained, and the sufiorings, prolonged
and terrible, next to death, which they en-
dured, have not been forgotten by tho sur
viying soldiers, and they are familiar in
story to the generation which hns been
coming on the stage OF active life since
that protracted war closed
AS the subject of war with Spain or
with Mexico, or with both, becomes more
familiar 10 the public MUD, after IL shall
have been more fully and generally dis
cusscd by the press, we can judge better
OF the temper OF the people in regard to
volunteering for such fight or FIGHTS. II
