ring, and 1t found 90 ready and unanimous
response from tho Council that the hopo is
warranted that the aifairs Of tho corporation

like tho Intelligence, honesty, and economy

purposes, pandered to and encouraged It's

opportunity for this WAS afforded by tho at
tempt at usurpation, which was intended to

An 1NJusT1oE TO NORTHERN FARMERS.
There IL one moasslro pending in Congrosa
which slond seriously engage the attention
OF Northern TURNER'S, and that Ia tho pro-
poscd appropriation for tho Lower Mississippi
levecs. An o class, tho Northern farmers
ilavo suffered almost incalculable damage
from floods since last fail. Their foncos md
fnrm buildings hnvo bocn washed nway.
Their crops hhve bcon aubmergod and ruined.
It will cost them years profits to repair
damages aud get their forms into running
order again. Tho floods lavo not been co,,-
fined to any particular locality. Almost
oveEy river, creek, md brook has been on
tho rampage, covered its banks and swept
AWAY Its dams, spreading destruction far and
wide. from Maino to Oregon tho farmers
have suffered, and In mnuy cnscs havo been
driven from their homes, with tho loss of
their stock, buildings, md working material
1t lis Of interest, therefore, for then to bear
in mind that tho Democratic party
in the House proposes to tnke sov-
aral millions OF money out OF
their pockets to pay ovor to specu-
latora in tho bottom 1andR Of the Lower Mis-
sissippi for tho building Of ievons. T1oy
should watch and remember every Congress-
man who votes for this Outrageous jobbory.
They should ask tho question, Why Ia
money 70 be squanderca upon Southern
spectators, and not one cent to be devoted
to the Northern farmers, who have lost
more than tic Southern? Tho proposed
appropriation Is fraud upon Its face. The
Government has NO moro right to protoct
the plantation Of @ cotton-grower along the
Mississippi than it has to protect the prop
erty Of farmer on the Illinois or Wabash
River. II II gives money out Of tho Public
Treasury to the one, 1t is bound to do so to
tho other. eIf it repairs tie damages along
tho Lower mississippi River, it must
consistently repair tho damages oc-
oasioncd by tho overflow Of Northern
rivers. But the proposition is not so much
intended to protect farms ~ it is to i'm
provo tho property Of tho Southern Bpccu-
1ators, and, If the Government illegally and
unjustly applies tho public money this year
to these spectators, they will clamor for
money stll1 moro Justify next yoar, and, tho
door once opened, there will bo no end 10
claims which cannot DO denied. Tho appro-
priations will involve millions Of dollars,
md will nrcn m, c1aims for ratfcf ~ avarv
description. The principal point to bo con-
siderod, however, il this-that II the South
ern planter is TO bo relieved, the Northern
farmer. should also bo relieved. If tho
Southern spcculators can havc their proper
ty improved at tho Gonera1 Governments
expense, thon tho Northern speculator has
an equnaly Just claim. II the Government
is going to pension tho farming interests Of
tho South, then 1t las no right to refuse tho
North. And where will this lend? Let the
Northern far1uers, therefore, watch this piece

A SAVING WIFE.

residing in Liverpool, who
formely lived in rather an ex-
travagantstyle, was in the habit
every Monday morning, OF Civ
ing his wife a certain sum Of
money for table and other house
hold expenses OF the week ; he
never mentioned his business to
bis wife, and she, deeming him
sufficiently capable OF attending
to his own affairs never inquired
into them. About fifteen years
after their marrige, through
some slight mismanagement,
and the rascality Of his conf
Dental clerk, Mr.-suddenly
broke, and his fall was men
toned sympathizingly on
Change, and-like all such
matters-there all sympathy
ended: The merchant kept the
affair a secret, and the first init
nation his lady had Of it was
by a paragraph in the Times.
shortly after dinner was over,
on the day of the discovery OF
the startling fact, Mrs.-re-
quested her husband to remain

hurried up stairs, and shortly

Don't LEAVE THE FARM.

Tome boys, have something to tell you;
Come near, would whisper it low
You are thinking of leaving the home
stead;
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions
But think of the vices and sins
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk Of the mines OF Australia,
They're wealthy in gold, without
doubt;
But ali there is gold on the farm boys,
lfyou will but shovel it out.
The merchantile life is hazard
The goods are first high and then low !;
Better risk the old farm while longer !;
Don't he in hurry to 60
The great stirring world has inducements;
There is many a gay busy mart
But wealth is not made in day, boys
DON'T be in hurry to start !;
The bankers and brokers are wealthy;
They take in their thousands or so;
All, think of the frauds and deceptions;
Don be hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest
The orchards are budding to-day;
And monarch of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm while longer,
Though profits should come rather slow;
Remember, you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to go!
