NEW DEPARTURE ON A YANKEE HILL
FARM.-Some ten years ago, George Whit
aker OF Mason, occupying the old, rocky
and billy farm on which both his father and
his grandfather had lived and died, found
himself burdened by debt aud pressed
down by ill health, being barely able 10
gain living in the old way on the old
homestead. He decided to cultivate more
remunerative crops, and commenced the
cultivation OF the grape and of the peach.
Giving his son, at tho age of 21, an interest
in the estate, they carried on the farm, I'M
der improved culture, in company. They
soon began to see an improvement in their
financial standing, and to gain a reputation
for their excellent fruit. They now have
about six acres in their vineyards, mostly
of Concord, Hartford and Delaware grapes,
and some three acres in peaches of several
popular varieties. Within few years they
have greatly improved their farm and their
buildings, materially reduced their indebt-
edness, and enjoyed the profit that is count
ed by hundreds Of dollars. Their example
has been followed by other farmers of Ma
son aud IFS vicinity, until many hill-sides,
once unproductive, have become the most
profitable portion Of their fArms.--GbA1OTd

The Farmer King.
The farmer sat In his old armchair,
Rosy and fair,
Contented there.
"KAte, declare"
He said to his wife, who was sitting near,
ave need not fear
The hard times here,
Though the leaf Of life IL yellow and sere.
"I'm the King and you are the Queen
or this fair scene
These fields Of green
And gold between,
These cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their hll
And sheep so still,
Like many held by single will.
"Tbese bsrnsArd fowls are our subjects ALL
They heed the call,
And like squall
On fast wings fall,
Whenever we scatter for them the grain.
'Tis not in vain
We live and reign
In this our happy and calm domain.
"And let the days be dim or enc,
In rain and shine,
These lands Of mine,
These fields OF thine,
In cloudy shade add in sunny glow,
win overflow
with crops that grow,
When gold is high and when Il is low.
"Unvexed with shifting Of stocks and shares,
And bulls and bears,
Strifes and cares,
And the affairs
OF speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat
Sweet peace can meet,
With plenty on her rural beat"

advantage OF free State Is that its
revenues are better managed but
when they are badly managed, the ad'
vantage Of a free State is that there
are no tavorites when this is not the

WHAT NEXT:

How much longer are these Repub-
lican doctors to be allowed to play
their farce Of purifying the South"
while the stage on which they act is
the writhing and agonized body poll
tic, bleeding from hundred wounds
that need healing? Have we, the
people, no ether concern than just to
sit still and see this wreichcd mockery
performed to the end, while our own
ruin is being surely and not slowly
consummated
"What next" the people are ask
ing, and they will not be diverted
from it. You may send your Bout
wells to search for the hole III the
sky, in Mississippi, as often as you
please. You may wave the bloody
shirt till your arms are sore; you may
shout yourselves hoarse about sold is
sues" but you will not divert the
minds Of the people from the new and
ever present issue of the necessity OF
living, and the necessity OF getting
Reform in order to live. Ali your
nostrums, all your subterfuges, all
your lies will do nothing to cure the
universal discomfort which your meas
ures have bred in the hearts OF the
people, because your measures have
bred such distresses in the midst of
the people. After you have done
with your shouting, your tarce-playing,
your shirt.wavjng, your ridiculous ca.
pering on the calumny tight rope, the
people are sure to demand of you
"What next 2"
And what will you answer Repub-
lican doctors What, indeed, can
you answer? Will you promise us
Reform? You have had eight years
of undisturbed power to reform in,
and the results are before the country.
when the devil was sick, no doubt
his protestations OF intention to put
on sackcloth were very tervent; un,
fortunately for their acceptance, the
country has had full sight OF the
devil when he was well. Besides, if
there be such need of Reform, who
made it so urgent? What party has
had exclusive control OF Treasury,
Custom House, Indian Bureau, Navy
Department, &C., while all these
abuses were growing rank ? Under
what auspices have all the rogues
learned to sun themselves in our pub
lie places so insolcnt!y ? 70 whom

erons, and all the long catalogue OF
graduates in iniquity and shameless.

Democratic party. They belong to
you and your party, Oh, Republican
doctors . And, when the people ask
"what next 2 the Democratic party is
at least able to offer A CHANGE as
their remedy. Ii cannot be worse,
and j, may very easily be better.
