thoughts and aspirations we're pure
aud holy, and the heart was filed with
the soul.inspiring joys Of childhood.
Her illness was of short duration.
That fatal malady, pneumonia, carried
her quickly to her grave. She was a
young lady of promise, sweet and
amiable in her disposition, which en-
deared her to all her friends and
schoolmates. She was child of the
Sabbath School, lin il she learned
something of the cross and its sweet
ness, which enabled her, before her de-
parture to express desire to depart
and be with Christ, which is far bet
ter" Let US all hear the monitory
voice; "Be ye also ready"
ooh, TO be ready when death shall come |,
Oh, TO be ready tn hasten home;
No esrthward clinging,
No lingering gaze,-
No step at parting,
No sore amaze.
No cloud like phantom TO fling gloom
'Twixt heavens bright portals, and earths
dark tomb,-
But sweetly, gently to pass away
From the worlds dim twilight, into day"
The funeral services take place this
afternoon at two o'clock. at the Pres
byterian Church: Her remains will
be taken to the church at II o'clock,
where all wishing may see them.

Osetrage on TTal,ips.

Bordentown N: j., was thrown in~
to the greatest excitement last evening
by an attack made by tramps upon
the teacher of the Roman catholic
parochial school, which overlooks the
river and railroad from the the high
bluff on Second street. The school
lies on the line between the old
Bonaparts estate and the railroad
junction, and only short distance
from both the canal and railroad which
are usually frequented by tramps.
About six clock. as the sisters in
charge of the school were preparing
for supper; three tramps entered, and, {,
under pretence of begging, placing
themselves between the sisters and the
means of exit, demanded whatever
money they had. Finding their der
mand not compiled with on the in.
slant, they became abusive and threat
ened if money was not forthcoming.
they would destroy the altar which
was in view thorough the doorway Of
the little chapel.
Fearing they would carry out the
threat, the women, who were five in
number, gave them what money they
had, which was however, only small
sum amounting to less than 81, and
they Immediately disappeared. An
alarm was given without loss of time.

Fall Flowing.

The rank growth of weeds and grass will be found a great imped- iment to early blowing this fall, and the best plan for turning all green vegetation completely un- der should be adopted. Large blows, with four horses, mules or oxen attached should be used if attainable. Ground plowed thus to the depth of eight inches will be likely to produce twice as much wheat as that plowed in among the grass, on the cut and cover Llan, with the blow run ming only two or three inches deep. Several plans to aid cover ing up weeds have been tried, among which is that of dragging Il common log chain attached to the end oc plow beam. Will not some of our readers who have been successful in preparing foul land for fall seeding give us thelr plans and experience? It is much better to blow in than to burn or destroy the trash on the ground, for there you turn what Is considered plague into q blessing, as green weeds soon rot and fertilize the land. Let us hear from those disposed 10 give their neighbors the benefit of their past experience. Trash on the ground, we suppose, prevents the use of that valuable imple
 ment, the grain drill, but if land is tolerably free from stumps, and weeds are plowed under deep, hoes will not clog.-Grange.

added, then if the crops will not pay all expenses and little over, where is the use of keeping up this kind of farming until the farm has to be sold to pay past expenses? You are frequently told to "look on the bright side" :" but "great expectations" have ruined thousands. Let us try to make things bright in the future by looking all troubles and diff culties full in the face. A small farm which barely pays expenses is hundred times better than a plantation which continually runs you in debt, or draws on past ac- cumulations. In other words a well-tilled patch is more to be desired than plantation which does not pay. Reader, ponder over these crude suggestions of ours.-Grange.
The Russellville Democrat., 1876-09-28
Plantation or Patch?

It will be absolutely necessary for many to curtail their farming next year. There IS no profit in farming at the present rates pald for labor, and present prices offered for what is raised on the farm; therefore, IS not a patch better than a plantation? We must continue to raise crops
 in order to supply our table and
 feed our stock, but why continue to raise more than can be sold for at least a little more than the cost of production and transpor- tation? Small farmers who are not compelled to hire laborers, can go on in the usual way, but those who carry on their farms by hired labor would do better to turn their big farms into patches and rent to industrious renters, or to convert the larger portion into pastures. When crops are gathered and prices more certain
 than at present, it would be an excellent plan to count up eX'
 penses and the value of the crop, and see how the account stands; and, in doing so, all the incident al losses and expenses should be
