JULIAN Hill, now delving in the
bowels of the "yearth" at Atlanta, is
greatly discouraged; he meets with
so much silver ore that he can hardly
make any Roadway in running his
tunnel. In fact he has felt down in
the mouth ever since that big vein
of yaller percoon root give out. But
he totes the weary load gracefully,
for all that. Keep up your spirits,
Julian, trust in providence, and how
is that frozen toe?

of getting up race wherein large
pebbles are placed a yard apart in two
or more rows on the ground for dis
lance Of twenty, thirty, forty or fifty
yards; the runners to pick up and re-
turning box each pebble at the start

the quickest wins the race, of course.
A short race of this character was wit

other day, and it afforded no little
amusement to the lookers-on. The

the feeblest soul to martydom, in the
closet in reading the Scriptures, in
the house of God, the hand OF
faith reaches up to heaven and
brings down clusters of comfort
from the tree Of life, and draws
water with joy out of the well OF
salvation. When nations are dash
ed one against another, when ru-
mors of wal are loudly heard, when
kingdoms are convulsed, and the
sword Is bathed in blood, faith
saws the Lord reigneth, let the
earth be glad.
His hand the good man fastens in the SKY
And bids earth swell nor feels her rolling
whirl.
Finally. Faith is precious be-
cause it gives the nope of eternal
lite and a complete conquest over
death.
Faith is the substance OF things
hoped for and the evidence OF
things not seen. Hopei is intimate
" connected with faith as there
can be no true hope without faith,
so vital saving who always pro
duces faith, it may lave to war
with constitutional feebleness of
BODY and mind, still in degree it
always exists.
Faith rests upon Christ for sal
walton and eternal life. Hope ex-
poets to enjoy his presence here IN
death and in the paradise of i'm,
mortality, looking for the mercy OF
our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal
life. -,
How precious is this hope, amid
all the tempests of time, it enters
to that within the vale. Oh how
precious is faith amid the darkness
of this earthly night, it is the pole
star of the Christian IN all nlS
trials, it cheers him on, it guides
HIM safely to the port of endless
rest. For light Is sown for the
righteous and gladness for the up
right IN heart. Yes, says the CHRIST

HAD DONE ENoUGH.-In early times the
candidates for Office, the same as at pres
ent, sought every means in their power 10
place themselves in favorable position
before their constituents. A good story is
told of Revolutionary soldier who was
running for Congress. His opponent was
a young man who had "never been TO
wars :" and il was the custom of the old
soldier to tell of the hardships he had en-
dured. Said he:
"Fellow-citizens, have fought and bled
for my country. 1 have helped TO whip
the British and the Indians. l have slept
on the field of battle with no other cover
ing than the canopy OF heaven. / have
walked over the frozen ground ill every
footstepwas marked with blood"
Just about this time one Of the "sover-
eigns" who had become greatly interested
in his tale of sufferings, walked up in front
of the speaker, wiped the tears with the ex-
tremi!y of his coat-tail, and interrupling
him with

Agricultural Addresses.

1t is strange that the managers Of Fairs
learn so slowly the great Importance of adj
dresses at their annual exhibitions, and
seldom seem TO understand how TO man
age them when they are included in the
programme. We remember to have heard
Horace Greeley, on his return from the Pa
cifc coast years ago, where the subject of
irrigation had attracted his attention, UNI
dertake TO give an agricultural address. OF
course he attracted large crowd; and al
most equally of course the speakers stand
was out of-doors, in close proximity to The
horseback on one side aud the big boets
and other of Natures enOrmities on the
other. The crowd was Kaleidoscope in
its movements and as Mr.. Greeley APP
peared the rain began to fall. The chair
man hoisted an umbrella over the veucra-
bic head, and through the fringe of pour
ing water the benevolent face of the "Ph
losopher" beamed out Raising his thin,
querulous, treble voice TO its highest pitch
he began: Ladies and gentlemen: am
to speak TO you to-day on Irrigation" The
mal-appropriatenes of the theme 10 the
circumstances caused au involuntary laugh
TO greet the announcement, in which the
speaker Joined. or course the address was
a failure, despite the great amount ofin-
formation it contained.
The spectacle is q common one, of
crowd melting away from around the
speakers stand to witness the preliminary
warming up" which the jockeys are Civ
ing their horses and on different sides the
stentorian tones of the persuasive side
show orator, the seductive strains of the
peripatetic peddlers, the sweet attractions
of ginger bread stands, and the legitimate
entries TO the exhibition, give the address
maker n perfectly demoralizing COMPETE
| ton.
Promising that there ought always to be
| an address, from some competent man.
one who knows the importance of theories
and the value of practical knowledge, and
has both intelligence and experience in
some branch of agriculture-who has some
thing to say and knows how 10 say tive
remark that the address ought always
| TO be given in a tent or hall. The audi
| ence should be seated, and free from all
disturbing infiuences. No society can af-
ford to do without good address; but it
has no business TO invite a speaker unless
it can give him a fair chance. Should the
day prove wet, as Fair days are quite apt
| to, an instructive address, delivered under
shelter, and with conditions favorable to IFS
intelligent reception, will save the day
from being a failure. Large societies may
] probably have several addresses some of
them in the evening, 10 be followed by in
| quiries and discussion. Think Of the good
that might result from an address on ierti-
| lizers, before the owners of a thousand
WORKOUT farms, by a learned aud consci-
entious chemist who had given the subject
thorough examination. Or let horses, cat
tie, sheep, field and or chard crops, be dis
cussed in the same way-illuslrated by the
splendid object-teaching of The days exhi-
bition-and the fair would come nearer full
filling its great object: the enlightenment,
profit, real entertainment and pleasure OF
the farmer.-Golden Rule.

The japanese are a mixed race, formed
mainly by the amalgamation of two dis
tinct stocks one Of which, styled by Mr..
GrifTs the Yamsto, from a province of that
name in Central Hondo, came apparently
from the south, and long before the Chris
tian era were in possession of the Southern
Islands, from which they set out for the
conquest of Hondo, which, with Yezo, was
peoplod by race contemptuously styled
ebisu or "barbatiaus," who had descended
from the northeast of Asia, and are idenii-
fed with the Amos, a remnant of whom
are still found unmixed in Yezo, and are &C.
casionally to be met with in the capital.
Mr.. GrifIs gives characteristics portrait of
one of these. The complexion is a dark
brown the eyes not set obliquely the nose
low, with rounded lobes; the mouth large;
the hair black and abundant, clipped short
In front, but falling la abundant masses over
the back aud shoulders; the beard and
mustaches unusually long and thick. They
are emphatically hairy race, the entire
bodies of the males being sometimes COW
cred with fell of hair an inch long. The
Amos ale the stock upon which the other
races have been grated, and whose Ian
guage forms the basis OF the japanese Of TO-
day, compelling the numerous words which
have been adopted from the Chinese TO con-
form TO its own laws of construction, some
what as the Saxon masters the Latin elo-
ment of the English language. THE Jap
anese vocabulary" says DIR. Hepburn,
"has been greatly enlarged aud enriched by
| ;pt At Cfbfuaea xvs.rflg oil a a
| from the written language, and not from
the collOquial, which has never been spoken
| in Japan. SO extensively have these words
| been introduced that for almost every ma
| tive word the japanese have an equivalent
| Chinese word. Bat ia common usage the
names Of things, family relationships, and
the words which express the wants, feel.
ings, and concerns OF every day life, are for
the most part native words, while the tech
nical, philosophical, and scientific terms
| are Chinese"
The distinctive types OF the two races are
still apparent among the japanese. In the
upper classes we see the tine, long, oval
face, with prominent, well-chiselled lea-
lures, deeply sunk eye Ockets, oblique
eyes, long dropping lids, elevated aud arch
ed eyebrows. high narrow forehead, round
nose, bud like mouth, aud pointed chin
contrasting strongly with the round, Dat
tened face, less obique eyes almost level
with the cheeks. and straight noses, ex-
banded and turned up at the roots, which
prevail among the agricultural and labor
ing classes. -Hdrper's Magazine for Sep
