THE LITTLE BLACK-EYE
EBEL

boy drove into the city, his wagon loaded down
With food to feed the people Of the British-gov
And the little black eyed rebel, SO cunning and SC
ely,
Was watching for his coming from the corner Of
her eye.
His face looked broad and honest, his hands were
brown and tough,
The clothes he wore upon him were homespun,
But one there was who watched him, who long
time fingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from the corner OF
her eye.
He drove up to the market, he waited in the line
His apples and potatoes were fresh and fair and
fine;
But long and long he waited. and no one came to
buy,
Save the little black-eyed rebel watching from the
corner of her eye.
Who will buy my appless" he shouted, long and
loud;
And Who want. my potatoes''' he repeated to
the crowd;
But from all the people round him came no word
of areply.
Save the black-eyed rebel, answering from the
corner OF her eye,
For she knew that meath the lining of the coat he
wore that day
Who were fighting for the freedom that they
meant to gain or die;
And a tear like silver glistened in the corner of
her eye. r
But the treasures to get theme crept the
question through her mind,
Since keen enemies were watching for what prizes
they might find;
And she paused awhile and pondered. with pret
ty little sigh!
Then resolve crept through her features and a
shrewdness fired her eye.
So she resolutely walked up to the wagon old and
red:
May have dozen apples for n kiss:" she sweet
ly said;
And the brown face flushed to scarlet for the boy
was somewhat shy,
And he saw her laughing at him from the corner
of her eye,
"You may have them all, for nothing, and more,
il you want" quoth he;
Il will have them, my good fellow, but can pay
for them said she;
And she clambered on the wagon, mnding not
who all were by.
With laugh Of reckless romping in the corner OF
her eye.
Clnging round his brawny neck, she clnsped her
fingers white and small,
And then whispered: Quick the letters! thrust
them underneath my shawl!
Carry back again this package, and be sure that
you are spryl"
And she sweetly smiled upon him from the corner
Of her eye.
Loud the motley crowd were laughing at the
strange, ungirsh freak
And the boy was scared and painting, and SO dash
ed he could not speak;
And: Miss, have good apples" bolder lad
did cry;
But she answered mo, l thank you" from the
corner OF her eye.
With the news of loved ones absent to the dear
ones they would greet,
Searching them who numbered for them swift she
glided through the street.
There is nothing worth the doing that it does not
pay to try"
Thought the little black eyed rebel, with twinkle
in her eye.

From the Poughkeepsie Eagle.

Remember that appearances are
often deceitful. Many a pale, thin
young lady will cat more corned beef
than a blacksmith. Because you
find her playing the piano IN the par
lor, it is no sign that her mother is
not at the grocery running in debt
for a peck of potatoes.

A. Baby's Way.
st. Louis Republican.


1t was Just ABOUT sunset, the street
had been sprinkled, and the residents
Of the neighborhood were grouped
on piazzas aud doorsteps, enjoying
themselves in chat and in watching
the motions of the children playing
on the sidewalk. Along the walk
came man who looked as though
he might be connected with the riv-
er; he had the general indescrlbable
air of a boatman, and, additionally,
it must be confessed he may have
been drinking. AS he approached
the children, they attracted his at
tention, and he stopped to look at
them. Then he began muttering to
himself, and unmindful of the peo-
pie on an adjacent doorstep, who
could hear his words distinctly
"There's pretty children. 1 haven't
any, now. l wonder if they'd be
scared if l should speak to them,"-
He went up to the children and
spoke to one Of them and took one
OF them, a little boy, by the hand
Noting by instinct the rather disrep-
utable appearance of the man, the
boy caught away his hand and ran,
the other children, in terror, imita-
ting his example. Disappointed and
hurt, the man turned away to go,
when a wee, whiteclad bit of baby
girl, not yet big enough to talk, turn.
cd about suddenly from the escaping
covey, and toddled laughingly back
toward the man, holding out her
hands. The disreputable fellow
caught her up in his arms, and then
she laid her chubby pink cheek
against his grimy, unshaven one, and
cuddled and cooed as only baby
knows how to cuddle and COO. The
baby's mother, watching all close by,
did not interfere. The man held the
child for moment, and then put her
down gently and hurried off with
tears in his eyes. There was moth
ing very striking about the incident,
but it did one rough fellow a great
deal of good, and didn't hurt the
baby.

heart, and that this will contribute to
cement the good feeling at present
existing between the nations repre-
sented here"
LOCOMOTION.
The arrangements in this city for
travel are most convenient. The
horse cars run in every direction. and
for the small charge of seven cents
one can 60 from end to end of the
city, and by system of exchange
tickets cars can be taken crossing
the city, so that almost any point
may be reached. For small parties
wagonettes have been introduced,
which can be secured for fifty cents
for each person.
THE CITY.
There is much to be seen in Phila-
delphia; Independence Hall, Girard
College, the Mint, the Clubs, the
Public Buildings, Carpenters Hall,
Laurel Hill Cemetery, Academy OF
Science, Academy of Fine Arts, are
all worthy of a visit.
SUMMARY.
While enough work has been Civ
en- visitor to occupy a week, yet it
can all be seen in half that time in
cursory manner, and, of course, at
less expense, but the. reader may rest
assured, in whatever section of our
country he may be, that it will pay
him we'll to save money enough to
make one visit to the International
Exhibition, and, if possible, to bring
his family. The advantages gained
will amply pay for all economies in
saving, and the writer feels sure that
every one influenced to make the
visit will never regret it.

Broken Promises.

Reader, never break your promise!
And to this end never make a pro-
mise that you are not sure you can
fulfill. You may think it a trifing
thing to make an appointment with
friend, or agree to do certain
thing, and then fail to "come to
time;" but it is assursdly not a small
affair. If you get into the habit of
neglecting to make good your pro-
misses, how long, do you think, would
your friends and acquaintances re-
tain confidence in you? The nearest
and dearest of them will in time
learn to doubt you, and will put but
little faith in your words.
There is a way of halt meeting
ones obligations, which might be
called d"bending" promise, which is
also very bad practice, and should
be carefully avoided. For instance,
you agree to meet person at cer-
tain time, but, instead of being pune
tual, you "put in an appearance :"
several minutes, perhaps an hour af-
ter time; or you promise to do some
thing for friend, and only partially
perform the duty. You may not
have exactly broken your promise,
but you have certainly bent it, which
is almost if not quite AZ bad. Keep
your promises to tho letter, be
prompt and exact, and it will save
you much trouble and care through
life, and win for you the respect and
trust of your friends.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1876-06-09

Never run in debt when you can
avoid it. 1t is better to go snubbing
around in a broadcloth coat than to
be in debt for suit of Scotch mixed.

Froude says: eff there is one les
son which history and revelation
unite in teaching, it is this-that
goodness and wickedness ever have
been, and, as long as life lasts, ever
will be, mixed up in this state of our
existence-that social progress and
civilization will never make good
ness universal, eradicate vice, or
bring the flesh into final subsection
to the spirit. They teach also like a
voice, forever sounding across the
centuries the laws OF right and
wrong. Opinions alter and manners
change, creeds rise and fall, but the
moral law is written OH the tablets
of eternity. For every false word or
unrightcous deed, tor cruelty or op-
preston, for lust or vanity, the price
has to be paid at last, not always by
the chief offenders, but paid by some
one"

INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE.
Sir Charles Reed, of London, in an
address delivered to the judges select.
cd for the Exhibition, expressed the
great interest taken by foreign ma
tions in its success, and, in closing,
addressed General Hawley, President
of the Commission, as follows:
"I must congratulate you, sir, in
being at the head of an Exhibition
unparalleled in the history of inter
national displays, so far as my obser-
vation has extended. Twas upon the

THE NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CON-
GRESS.

The Philadelphia meeting of the National
Agricultural Congress, held on the 18th, 18th,
and 14tl of September, was attended by del
egates from some twenty five States and
Territories. The Congress met in the
Judges Hall, On the, Centennial grounds,
and was received with addresses OF welcome
by DR.. A. l.. Kennedy, President of the
Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania, and
by Burnet Landreth, Chief of the Bureau of
Agriculture. .,s ..ss .s... .,.
L. The first day was occupied by an address
of the President, w. G. Flagg, Of Illinois, ON
the Retrospect of American Agriculture a
paper by Joseph Harris, of Rochester, N.
Y, on the Outlook of American Agricul-
ture; and another by the Secretary. George
E. Morrow, of Iowa, on the Objects and
Work of the Agricultural Congress.

BIG GRAIN FARM.

One of the greatest enterprises of the
Northwest is the production of wheat by
MIR. Dalrymple, whose farm is located eigh-
Northern Pacific Railroad. A recent issue
of the st. Paul Pionee7,-Press tells the follow
ing story of its extent:
The amount of ground sown to wheat
this spring was 1900 acres. Harvesting
commenced on Monday with nine self-bind-
ers. The machines are run fifteen hours
withoutrest, except the ordinary stops for
oiling, lunch and dinner, and the result per
day is one hundred and eighty acres. One
man is employed to each team, and twelve
men follow the machines, shocking the
the wheat as soon as it is cut. The entire
1900 acres were to be cut and shocked dur.
ing the week; stacking and threshing will
Of course follow. Dalrymple is harvesting
his crop for about one-fitth of the cost re-
quired under the system in vogue ten years
ago. At the time harvesting commenced it
was estimated that the yield per acre from
the entire tract would not be less than twen-
ty bushels Grasshoppers had done but lit
tie damage, the excessive heat came too
late to blast the crop, and everybody who
saw the waving grain pronounced big wheat
farming on the North Pacific success. The
farm on which the crop was grown consists
of 80, 900 acres, on which, next season, there
will be sown to wheat 5000 acres, the sod Of
it having been broken this season. During
the breaking season Mr.. Dalrymple had as
high as 100 teams at work. The burrows
turned were six miles long, and the teams
made but two trips day. travelling with
each plow, to make the four burrows, "a
miles.

rect, more liberal rewards for pains and la
Dor could be given, and the people really
benefited.
Large crowds draw about them many
questionable characters, and evils incident
to such gatherings cannot be wholly con-
rolled by the managers but when encour-
aged by silence, or winked at, they are di-
rectly responsible, and the powers that ap-
pointed them should hold them to strict ac-
count. Fairs are educators-.s schools that
hold annual sessions. If we desire to pro-
mote gambling and encourage loose morals
and principles, let horce-racing at fairs con-
tinue. If we wish our sons to be good
citizens and men of ingrity of purpose, let
the race-course be banished and the fascinat-
ing allurement be removed before it is too
late.-Factory and Farm.

Wednesday evening, Alexander Delmar,
OF Philadelphia, gave talk, supplemented
by elaborate statistics, ON the Grain Crop of
the World. 9
On Thursday there was an address on
Our Southern Agriculture, by Col. Thomas
Claiborne, of Tennessee; and addresses on
Agricultural Education, by President
Welch, of the Iowa Agricultural College,
and by Prof. N. S. Townsend, of the Ohio
Agricultural College; concluding in the
evening with miscellaneous addresses by two
or three volunteers. Z
None of the papers presented failed to be
good, and many of them were Of a high Or
der of merit. Those especially of Messrs.
Dodge, james, Sturtevant, Harris, Willard
and Claiborne were mighty commended tor
their varied and marked excellence. Many
were historical in their character, and gave
sketches of the centennial progress Of differ
jent branches Of husbandry, so that, as a
whole, the addresses gave good general
survey Of American Agriculture. Arrange
ments were made for their publication at an
early day.
The officers elected for the coming year
are VIC. Flagg, Moro, ILL.,, as President !;
a Vice-President from each State; Horace

A RICU 1 7 i RAJ.
FAIRS.

managers anu supcTAuLeIueHlS OI IaIrS,
this article is meant for you; and we call
upon the hundreds of thousands that annu-
ally attend, to see that the reform is car
ried out. We believe in fairs-Town, Coun-
ty, State and National tairs, rightly conduct
ed emulation is the workman that builds
us as nation and improves our multiplied
industries; the spirit Of pride that is unwill-
ing to be excelled, is the spur that urges us
On to greater endeavor. These fairs are not
only good enterprise, but it is the duty of
every grower of grain, breeder of stock,
manufacturer of implements, and every one
engaged in any industry or enterprise, to
contribut to their success, by putting them
selves in competition with any and all others
who are rivals. Women and children, even
can add features to these occasions that
would be certain to mutually improve and
benefit.
The blight that is destroying the other
wise good effect that might result from fairs
Is the loose management of them. In every
competition merit should win; it matters
not if the real victor is unknown, having
won the prize he should receive it. Kissing
goes by favor is an old adage, and tonguy
exhibitor when he can see a judge outside
of the show, usually has won the day. 1t
matters not how simple or unimportant the
articles competing may be, if permitted to
enter they are entitled to test and impair
tial verdict.
Another viper that is destroying the fair
as an institution, is the clap-trap resorted to
by the management to call out the people,
foolishly imagining that unless side-shows
and outside attractions are offered the people
will not come. Under the guise OF patents,
peddlers, and prize plunder, the people are
preyed upon, and many son and daughter
have reason to remember the day Of the fair.
But over and above all, when one day or
part of day is set apart for gambling it IS
time for reform, or a mark Of displeasure by
remaining away-we refer to the trotting OF
running of horses for money, both in prizes
and, bets the former contributed by the le-
gitimate patrons and friends to be offered to
superior skill or enterprise, or industry, the
latter by the 'ssports - that are drawn to-
gether by a "horse-race; and the dupes
that they can hoodwink into offering a
stake. ~. ~ ..t5. 81
Its a good thing to improve the breed OF
horses and cattle, but not at the expense OF
the good breeding and morals of our boys
and girls, our husbands and fathers and for
the board of management to offer and adyer-
tise the racing as the great feature of the
fair, is slur ON enterprise and an insult to
the community where made. The object OF
the fair is not to make money tor any other
purpose than tho legitimate payment OF
prizes and as the s'purses " for the races
are usually the lions share of the entire
fund, if the money thus diverted be diverted
in the direction That good morals would di-
