A LATELY DISCOVERED PARA

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
likened to a grain Of tobacco seed which
though exceedingly small, being cast
into the earth, grew, and became great
plant. and spread its leaves rank and
broad. SO that bugs aud vile worms
found habitation thereon. And it
came TO pass. in the course Of time,
that the sons of men looked upon it, and
thought it beautiful to look upon. and
much to be desired to make men look
big and manly. SO they put forth their
hands and did chew thereof, and some
it made sick, and others do vomit it
most filthily.
And it further came 70 pass. that
those who chewed it became weak and
unmanly, and said. we cannot cease
from chewing it. And the mouths Of
all that were cnslaved became foul. and
they were seized with violent splitting,
and they did spit even in ladies' par
lors, and in the house of the Lord of
hosts; and the saints of the Most High
were greatly displeascd thereby. Aud
it came to pass in the course Of time
that others did snuff it, and they were
taken suddenly with fits. and they did
sneeze, insomuch that their eyes we're
filed with tears, and they did look ex-
ceedingly silly. And yet others cum
ningly wrought the leaves thereof into
rolls, and did set fire 10 one end thereof,
and they did look exceedingly grave and
calf-like, and the smoke Of their tor
ment ascendeth up forever. And the
cultivation thereof became great and
mighty business in the earth. Mer-
chantmen waxed rich by the commerce
thereof
And it came TO pass, that the saints
Of the Most High defled themselves with
it even the poor. who could not buy
bread, nor shoes, nor books for their lit
tie ones, spent their money for it. And
the Lord was greatly displeased there
with, and said Wherefore this waste ?
and why do these little ones lack bread.
and shoes, and books Turn now Jour
fields into corn and wheat, and put this
evil from you, and will bless you, and
cause my face to shine upon you. But
with one accord they all exclaimed We
cannot cease from chewing, putting and
snufhng We are slaves. And the
Lord was sore displeased with his peO-
pie. who raised this plant on the Con
necticut, and cried, Repent. or ] will

TIE HIGHER AIM IN FARMrSG.-
The higher aim Of every intelligent
tillcr Of the soil should be tho i'm
provcmcnt Of the produc,ivcncss Of
lis land, until it reaches the point
where maximum crops ure produced
it the least expense. Wise husbandry
regards the farm simply rs Il machine
for turning out crops. The machine
is the matter Of first importance This
is always to be kept in good running
order, and its efficiency is to be in
creased by all economical methods
The man who farms upon this system.
Will never sacrifice soil or IL great
crop. lie aims in every working OF
the soil to increase its depth and 10
add to it more elements Of fertility
than he removes in the crops, and 10
make the crops not only pay for the
Improvement of themselves, but to
pay for the Improvement Of The acres
upon which they are grown. In ear
rying out this aim so rs to realize these
results, II man shows his skill rs u

thing, for any one who has money, TO
mpovc the soil so that it shall pro
duce crops paying for the labor Of
growing them and the interest OF,
5000 or $500 an acre. Stable manure,
enough, well ploughcd in, will do this
But it is altogether another matter to
make this Improvement pay for itself.
Yet it is possible thing 10 do this,
and there are farmers skillluI enough
to accomplish this result, md this We
hold to be the true aim in The cultiva.

An interesting editorial article in
the London Times gives details re-
spccting the manner in which the
superior energy and resources OF
America have, within the past ten
years, wrought a revolution in The
grain supply Of Europe, and the en-
barrassmcnt and alarm which prevail
i'll Russia i'll consequence Of the fact
That her corn producing regions have
been distanccd i'll the great compc,i-
tive race with the United States. The
Times shows that, whereas nine years
ngo iorty-four per cent. Of the grain
exported to England came from
Russia and only fourteen per cent.
from America, now torty-iour per
cent. comes from America and but
twenty-onc per cent. from Russia. TO
this state Of things is partly attributed
the great monetary crisis at Moscow
the continuous depreciation of In,
paper currency, and the excessive
distress in southern Russia.

deemed advisable; that the Waterworks be
sold, with the right Of supplying tine city
with clear, wholesome water, under certain
limitation of water rates; that the bonded
debt be estimated at par value, and to
this must be added the overdue interest,
that the interest on ten per cent bonds;
be reduced to seven per cent. and interest on
bonds of every other description be COM
puted at five per cent.
The batture rights have been various!y
estimated, and by some they have been
valued as high as fifty millions. l think
they might be estimated with safety at $780,
100000. Waterworks may cell for from
$400, 600 to $500, 900; lands and tenements
in and about the city for about 100000;

ing probable total of $23 900, GOO, without
taking to account the quarter per cent tax for
interest, the surplus of which in due time
will go toward the redemption of bends.
1t would not be advisable to force a sale
of batture righte, wharves, etc., but it is
reasonable to believe that the whole could
be sold to advantage during ten years, by
