AN OLD DODGE,

In view Of the immense popular major
ity which Gov. Tilden has received, il
view of his great gains everywhere-such
as, for instance, gain in New York Of
$4,000 votes over Mr.. Greeley in 1872
and Of 100000 votes over his own vote
for Governor in ls74-the Professionalism,
of the Republicans that the Democratic
msjoritiss in South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana must be due to fraud is imper.
tinent in the highest degree. There was a
tidal wave all over the Union of revolt
against the continuation of Grantism. Why
should not that revolt have made itself
felt in these Southern States, which have
suffered all the grinding tyrany of the
Grant rule, and are the only Southern
States that have not thrown off the woke
of the carpet-baggers? The ingenious
newspaper writers who are trying to prove
that these States ought to have gone Re
publican, and therefore did go Republican,
are relying, not on the facts Of to-day, but
upon the census reports of half-a-dozen
years ago. There is no valid reason why
these States should go Republican; there
are countless reasons why they should have
gone Democratic. The Republicans have
robbed the people Of these States without
regard to the color line in the census re-
ports. Their State debts have been dou-
bled, trebled, quadrupledS the property Of
the citizens has been con6scated by taxa
tion, and the poor negro has suffered as
much from this as the rich white man,
The only prospect of rescue was by the
help OF the Democratic party, and black
and white alike voted to take 1t.
But this is not the only occasion of late
when the Republican party has raised the
cry Of fraud, knowing the charge to be
false. Just before election the papers were
filled with charges of false registration in
New York. There were thousands of re-
peaters on the rolls, and there were to be
gigantic frands, so as to steal the State for
I'ilden. The election was held, and more
than million votes were cast in the State.
Gov. Tilden gained 10000 votes on his
own enormous vote in 1874. And vet not
a single case of fraudulent voting has been
proved! And what is more, no Republi-
can paper has ventured to charge fraud
since this overwhelming vote vindicated
Gov. Tilden. The only difference between
the cry of fraud that was raised IN New
York and tha. which is now raised in tbe
South is, that the one was started to over
awe the votes, and the other to cover a
slshonest count. In each case it was the
same old dodge.

ADVANTAGES OF HOFIN1;.

Too many persons who use the hoe
suppose that the chief benefit derived
from it is to kill the weeds. That GER
tainly is an important work, and one
greatly neglected. Weeds are not only
in the way of cultivating the crops which
we plant, but they rob them of much of
the nutriment which they need. Hoeing,
then Is an essential service in respect to
destroying the weeds. There are other
advantages, however, which are common
ly overlooked. Let US see the loosen
ing Of the soil IN the operation of hoeing
is beneficial to the plants, as much as
the destruction Of the weeds, or more so.
Moisture abounds in the atmosphere
during the hottest months, and is alb
sorbed and retained most abundantly by
q soil which is in the most friable state.
Then again, pulverizing the soil enables
it better to retain the moisture absorbed.
The soil, in order to be healthy and ac-
tive, must breathe. A light, porous
soil, admits the air. and thus it is invig-
Grated by the atmosphere. The suns
rays heat a hard soil much more quickly
than loose one, and the hotter the soil
is, 50 much greater will be the evapOra-
ton from it. So that the hard soil is
deprived of its moisture much sooner
than one of loose texture. The soil
that has been kept loose near the surface
by the action of the hoe, will receive
and hold the rain water that falls, while
hard soil will allow most of it to run
off into the valleys and streams as it
falls

A FEARFUL RISK.

The pastor Of church in one of our
large cities said to me not long ago 81
have oficiated at forty weddings since l
came here, and in every case. save one,
| felt that the bride was running an
awful risk. Young men of bad habits
and fast tendencies never marry girls of
their own sort, but demand wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet women, kept
from the touch of evil through the years
of their girlhood. give themselves with
all their costly dover of womanhood,
into the keeping of men who, in base
associations, have learned to undervalue
al that belongs to them, and then find
no time for repentance in the sad after
years. There is but one way out of this
that | can see, and that is for you-the
young women of the county-to require
in association and marriage, purity for
purity, sobriety for sObriety, and honor
for honor. There is no reason why the
young men of this Christian land Should
not be just as virtuous as is young
women, and if the loss of your society
and love be the price they are forced to
pay for vice, they will not pay it. 1
admit with sadness that not all of our
young women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others; too
often from the hand of reckless beauty
has the temptation to drink come to
men; but l believe there are enough of
earnest, thoughtful girls ia the society
of our country to work wonders in the
temperance reform, if fully aroused.
Dear girls, will you help us in the name
of Christ? Will you. first of all, be so
true to yourselves and God, so pure in
your inner and outer life, that you shall
have right to ask that the young men
with whom you associate, and especially
those you marry, shall be the same ?
The awful gulf of dishonor is close be-
side your feet, and in it fathers, broth.
ers, lovers and sons are going down
Will you not help us in our great work p

OUR OLD PAsTUREs.-Shall we pillow
up and re-seed our old pasture lands ?
l say yes, by all means, unless it now
produces feed that is satisfactory. A
few years ago, We plowed up piece of
old pasture laud where good grass did
not grow on more than half; it was
planted one year to potatoes, the next
sown TO oats and stocked down; It was
mown for hay two years with good crops,
then turned back to pasture, and ever
since it has been the spot where the cows
stay the most, and it grows six times
the feed it formerly did. Do not pillow
deep, but cultivate well and use wood
ashes, ground bone and plaster. In re-
seeding SOW a plenty of seed, and Of
many kinds, and if to be fed off the
first year, sow winter rye with the grass
seed. The after feed for pasturing will
pay treble. Our old pastures must be
renovated in some way in order to have
our stock in healthy condition. Foot
rot. horn all, and the like are the sure
results Of an old run-Out pasture; the
soil lacks the ingredients to grow healthy
animals or produce the best of dairy
products.-L II. H., an Record ana

COUNTRY BARNs.-Great improvements
have been made within the past thirty
years in the structures for sheltering
stock in winter. Humanity shudders at
the almost total disregard formerly shown
for the comfort of our brute animals.
Barns. like schools and churches, were
too often perched on bleak sites, exposed
to the full fury Of'the wlntry blasts,
with the stalls arranged on the exposed
side of the building. In many of these
the laws of brute comfort were scarcely
regarded, but these were left to SILVER
behind thin and loosely covered walls,
through whose cracks the wind and snow
found ready entrance. A growing in
telligence and growing humanity mark
the improved farm buildings of to-day.
Farmers begin to understand better the
conditions Of health in dumb animals.
That they require sunny exposures, warm.
dry and properly cleaned and ventilated
stalls in fact conditions similar to those
for the health of the human species.
Exposure to cold and scanty food are
prime causes of disease in the herd be.
sides the quantity of fodder required to
maintain animal warmth is far greater
In such exposure. We well remember
the owner of a large stock and dairy
farm whose loss of animals from criminal
exposure was the sole cause of failure
and bankruptcy. Humanity is true
economy on the farm. Let the farmer,
study more the comfort of the brute il
the erection of farm buildings. "

Tor DRESSING LAwNs.-Some lawns
and dOOryards are being treated to a
compost of stable manure. OF course it
is necessary to apply fertilizing material
of kind to produce rich growth of
grass, yet would it not be better in sew
eral respects to do this in the fall !?
This we find to be the case with mead
ows, and there. is no reason why the
same rule would not apply to lawns.
When this application is made in fall,
just at the commencement of winter or
a little before, the crude material will
soon become dissolved by the rains and
beaten down among the roots of the
grasses, thus fertiliziDg and protecting
them at the same time, while so soon
being covered by the SHOWS Of winter
this dressing will remain less time in
sight, and perhaps would not present in
50 striking a manner other disagreeable
features, while the good effects would be
fully as apparent as now.

WHAT is LIFE ,

A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above tho spread,
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue-eyed face and fair;
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little blithesome, winsome maid,
A little hand within is laid
A little cottage. acres four,

A little family gathered round
A little turf-heaped, tear-dewed mound
A little added to the soil,
A little rest from hardest toll.

1t Is better to keep twenty cows in
good pasture. and to be well fed and
cared for in winter, than to keep forty
on poor pasture and scanty winter feed.
Good cows on good dairy lands, when
not overstOcked, will average about $50
per season in butter and cheese but put
on more cows than the land can feed as
they ought to be fed. and the profits run
down to $50 or $50 head. The prop
er way for farmers to do is, in all their
farming business to do everything we'll !;
keep none but the best breeds or grades
Of stock. feed literally, have good
fences. and they viii find it pays better
than a contrary system.

AN "AwFUL" SroRY.-There was
once an awful little girl, who had an
awful way Of saying awful" to every
thing. She lived in an awful house, in
an awful street, In an awful village,
which was an awful distance from every
other awful place. She went to an awful
school, where she had an awful teacher.
who gave her awful lessons out Of awful
books. Every day. she was SO awful
hungry that she ate an awful amount of
food, so that she looked awful healthy.
Her hat was awful small, and her feet
were awful large She went to an awful
church, and her minister was an awful
preacher. When she took an awful walk
she climbed awful hills, when she got
awful tired, she sat under an awful tree
to rest herself In summer she found
the weather awful hot. and in winter
awful cold. So that this awful girl was
IN an awful state, and If she does not
get over saying awful about every
thing. she will, by and by. come 70 an
awful end.

BEAUTIFUL WIVES.

A lady being asked why she grew
handsome every year, replied at once,
Because have such good husband"
And we sincerely believe husbands are
responsible for the beauty of their wives,
since beauty is not so much in the fea-
lures as in the expression-i. E.. the
highest style of beauty. Love is the
grand beauti6er. 1t produces happiness,
and happiness is the foundation of
health. The same lady said: "I'm
ashamed to be pettish and cross, as it is
sometimes so easy to be; my husband
tells me in return he never wishes to be-
come lOveless in little ways. For in
stance, if we've been riding, he does not
wish me-because I'm his wife-to help
myself out of the carriage any more than
when he was my lover; he wishes to as
sist me now quite as much as then.
Isn't his wife as dear to him, he says,
'as the young lady he hoped to make SO
And dOes't he take as much pleasure and
pride in waiting upon her?' And so l
let him, and so we love each other better
all the time, and are happier every year
of our lives" Now many husbands,
most of them, l presume, love their
wives as well as this husband did, but
they are in too much of hurry to tell
them so, and so through the long hours
at home they are hungering for "some-
thing sweeter than they have known" ;
and this hungering often leads to a
search for comfort and happiness in 9TH
er things and ways. Let every husband
be a lover for the next year,-be as
careful, and tender. and true, as in the
days of wooing, and see if the effect in
the household is not as if there were a
new sun in the heavens.-LnterTOr
