From he Utica Observer
Shortly after the first Inaugural
tion of President Graat in 1869, a
certain New Yorker addressed a
letter to an officer who held high
rank in the army during the war,
saving in substance. Ii you will
procure my appointment to the
position of--, viii pay you
the sum of $4,000" The officer
in question was not engaged in
that line of business, and telt just
Iy indignant at becoming the rccip-
lent of such a seandalons PROPOSE
tion. lie made no reply to the let
ter, which was soon followed by
an unayailing personal appeal.
Bat CHANGING to be in Washington
shortly after, he met Orville +.
Babeock, and, thinking il was
proper that the President. should
know what efforts had been made
to procure a lucrative Office
through purchased influence, he
laid before Babcock the facts in
the ease. Babcock appeared more
interested than surprised. liz
wanted 10 see the letter. 1t was
shown him. aud he said, after read
ing il carefully, "Give me this
letter; you don't want il and do
Thinking that Babcock desired to
exhibit il to the President. the
army officer readily complied with
the request. lie went away satis-
fled that the would-be briber
would be made to feel the power
of the Chief Magistrates wrath.
Six week later he was 0vcrwhclm-
cd with surprise at finding that
the man who had offered $2O,00O
for an office had been appointed by
Ulysses S. Grant TO that very posi-
tion. Four months later this cx-
ccllcnt representative Of civil SER

rupt practises and forced to resign
his place. We have purposcly
outlined the case in such n way

Be NEAT ABOUT THE FARM.-Ofall things
in the world, be neat about the farm. fyou
have a thrifty wife, take pattern by her man
agement indoors Swept and busted are her
rooms, and made attractive with many taste
ful ornaments. Your farm may be made as
pleasing as your house. The yard and wood
pile may be kept as slightly as the shining
cook-stove, where all the sticks finally 60.
The fences may be one of the prettiest parts
of the landscape, if they are only kept painted
or whitewashed. The stone walls do contin-
ually tumble, or get knocked down, we ad-
nit but it don't take long to pick up two or
three of the fallen rocks and put them in
place, when you are passing by. The barn
may be made the sweetest place around, it
care is taken to keep the cattles stalls cleanly,
as they should be for any living creature.
The smell of packed hay, and the breath OF
COWS, can never be equalled by the chemist.
In the harness.room, there is still more need
of order and neatness. Harnesses kept nice
and handsome wear three times as long, when
the dust is brushed of, and they are we'll oiled
from time to time. To give an impression of
your thrifiness to others is we'll, but it is not
the important point. To know your belong
ings are in good condition, and that your farm
is model for others, is to make your heart
light and contented, besides giving you a
sense of independence and dignity, we'll worth
the toll of gaining it.

NO DOGS ALLOWED IN THE CARS.

1t Ithappened the other day on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. The train had just left
Easton, and the conductor was making his
first round, when he observed small white
dog with a bushy tail and bright black eyes
sitting costly on the seat beside young lady
so handsome that it made his heart roll over
like lop.sided pumpkin. But duty was du-
ty, and he remarked, in his most deprecatory
manner:
"I'm very sorry, madam, but it's against
the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars. {"
90! my, is that so ?" and she turned up
two lovely brown eyes at him beseechingly.
"What in the world will do? I can't throw
him away. He's Christmas present from
my aunt
"By no means, miss. Well put him in q
baggage car, and he'll be just as happy as a
robin in spring"
"What put my nice white dog in nasty,
stuffy, dusty baggage car ?"
"I'm awfully sorry, miss, I do assure you,
but the rules of this company are as inAexible
as the laws of the Medes and them other fel-
lows, you know. He shall have my overcoat
to lie on, and the brakeman shall give him
grub and water every time he opens his
mouth"
81 just think it's awful mean, so do; and
know somebody will steal it, so they viii" !"
and she showed halfnotion to cry that near
ly broke the conductors heart; but he was
firm, and sang out to the brakeman, who was
playing solo on the stove:
"Here, Andy, take this dog over into the
baggage car, and tell 'em to take just the best
kind of care of him.
The young lady pouted, but the brakeman
reached over and picked the canine up as ten
derly as though it was two-weeks old baby,
but as he did so strange expression came
over his face, like wave of cramp-colic, and
he said hastily to the conductor:
"Here, you just hold him minute till I
put this poker away" and he trotted out at
the car door and held on to the brake wheel,
shaking like man with ague.
The conductor no sooner had his hands on
the dog than he looked around for hole to
fall through.
"Wh-wh-why, this is worsted dog"
eyes, sir" said the little miss, demurely.
"Didn't you know that?"
"No, I'm most awful sorry to say didn't
know that" and he laid the Christmas dog
down in the owners lap, and walked out on
the platform, where he stood half an hour in
the cold, trying to think of hymn tune to
suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Valley
road.

FAITH.

"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of od."-ROmans, TO-: II.
These few words set forth, very plainly, the
way by which God takes sinner out of his
lost and ruined state, and puts him in favor
with himself. The plan which infinite wisdom
has chosen, by which to make sinner capa-
BILE of exercising faith in Jesus Christ, and
also to induce him to exercise his capabilities,
are very briefly, but very clearly stated.
God represents himself as reporting Christ
to the sinner The sinner hears and believes.
The important words in this passage Of the
scriptures are faith and hearing. By COM
mencing with the 18th verse of the chapter,
and reading attentively to the 18th, we will
readily understand what is meant by hearing.
God sends certain persons out into the world
to preach the gospel. This gospel is the report
that is heard. BY the preaching of Christ
and him crucifed, God imparts to sinners,
who hear this preaching, the capability to be-
lieve. The process is simply this. The gos-
pei is preached; men hear it, believe, call
upon the name Of the Lord and are saved.
Preaching Christ to sinners and offering Christ
to sinners denote the same thing. So the ex-
preston, "God gives his son to Sinners" fire.
quently means the same as preaching Christ
or offering Christ to sinners.
The word faith is often defined to mean "a
belief in testimony" Whilst this definition
can not be said to be unscriptural, it certain
ly falls short of expressing the whole truth.
The faith of which Paul is speaking, most
assuredly means much more than simple
belief in testimony. A belief in testimony
implies nothing more than asimple act Of the
intellect but Paul, in the 10th verse of this
chapter, says: "With the heart man believ-
eth unto Righteousness" That faith which is
necessary to the salvation of the soul, is not
hard to be understood when we take the Scrip
lures as our only guide. 1t consists of an
exercise of both the intellect and of the heart.
With the intellect the sinner discerns Christ |;
and with his heart he relies upon Christ for
salvation as Christ is presented in the gospel.
AS all our wicked acts, thoughts and words
flow from unbelief, so all the good that we
either do, say or think, flows from faith. The
fact that faith cometh by hearing teaches the
importance of having the gospel preached,
and also the Importance Of hearing it when
we have an opportunity. 1t would be rash
to say that none are made able to believe who
never hear, in the ordinary way, Christ and
him cruci6ed preached; still, we may safely
say God has revealed to US no other way by
which he will save sinners. .l.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farm the dear old farm;
God bless its every rood
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
Win back recompense for toll.
And may He bless the farmers home
Where peace and plenty reign;
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad beauteous earth contain,
Than where, secure from care and strife,
The farmer spends his peaceful life. , ..
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mould
Then scatters the golden grain,
Then reaps rewards hundred fold;
He dwells where grace and beauty charm,
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

GRAFTING.-Stone fruits are more difficult
to graft than the apple and pear, but if it be
done sufficiently early in spring the plum may
be so treated very successfully. The peach is
rarely grated at the North, but it succeeds at
the South. This fruit is usually propagated
by that form of grating called building. AL
though fruit-trees are grated with scions of
ripened wood, there are some trees which will
only succeed when green wood is used for
both scion and stock. This kind of grating
is called herbaceous. Many evergreens can be
grated in the ordinary way, but the pines
only succeed with herbaceous grating; and
the same may be said of some nut.bearing
trees. Ornamental trees of various kinds are
propagated by grating, especially where it is
desired to perpetuate some individual pecu-
liarity, such as pendant or weeping habit,
or foliage of an unusual shape or color. Some
weeping trees which are naturally low, as the
weeping beech, ash, and poplar, form elegant
specimens when grated upon stock eight or
ten feet high. Among ornamental trees and
shrubs grating is resorted to as the most rapid
means of propagation; sometimes variety
cannot be multiplied readily from cuttings,
but can be grated upon some related stock
that will grow rapidly. The choicer species
of clemstis, now so much priced as ornament
al climbers, take root with great difficulty,
while some of the older kinds strike root free
ly; the florist grows these from cuttings, and
gratis the more difficult subjects on their roots.
The fine double camelliss will not grow from
cuttings, but are propagated by grating upon
the single kinds which readily do so. Epi-
phyllums and other trailing cactuses make
fine plants by grating them upon a stout
stem of Cereus trlangularis or one Of the per-
eskias. Successful grating ofthe apple upon
the maple, the rose upon the black currant,
and the like is impossible, although instances
oft are often narrated.-Appleton's american
Cyclopedia.
