more absolutely dependent upon skill,
good judgment and thorough work, than
in farming, and the stories of fancy profits
in special crops or stock are worse than
fiction to those who undertake to secure
the same without the requisite knowledge
and experience to insure the highest results
Change in plans is not necessarily
progress for the farmer. The farmer
may have chosen the crops best adapted
to his land, his market and his capital, he
may be pursuing intelligently, plan of
work which contemplates gradual
change from grain growing to stock
breeding, or he may be developing his
new, raw land with corn and grain, ul-
timately looking to cheese or butter
dairy; whatever the plan, don't switch off
on side tracks, and Use your strength and
capital trying experiments unless there is
a fact to demonstrate. Profit comes more
certainly to the man who persistently pur-
sues well laid plans than to those who are
seeking this year with stock, next year
with some hew crop, unusual proits.-

Mr.. MERR1wETHER paused at the gate,
as he adjusted his Continental oil-cloth
coat and gave his torch the proper slant
over his shoulder, to shout to his neighbor
across the way, "Itisa timethat demands
men-men of nerve, and intelligence, and
courage-men of clear ideas and pure
convictions; and the citizen who stands
idly waiting when the country calls him is
heartless and negligent, and unpatriotic. ;"
And then Mrs. Merriwether's voice was
heard floating over the front fence, like
the song of bird in the night, Erastus
Merriwether! if you 60 off without split
ting up enough wood for the kitchen stove,
I'll do some haymaking in that carrotty
hair o. yourn that'll make you wish this
country never had President" And it
is just such chilling influences as these
that shut SO many of our best men out of
active public life.-Burlington Haaok- Eye.

THE NIGHT LAMP.

4 Burning dimly every night,
In n chamber window hiph.
In window next the sky.
Fuckers aye feeble light,
CLEANS and shimmers when the roar
And tbs whirl of tratfic's Ger
When the cold, deserted street
Only echoes to the tramp
OF the Waterman on his beat
When the night is dark aud chill.
And the slanting. scOurging ram
Beats ana Buffers on the pane,
There the light is burning still.
When the moon is shining bright,
Every hour of every night.
Much more constant than the moon,
Or the multitude of stars.
Burns the lamp there late and soon.
Do you wonder what's the light
In that chamber window high
Shining ap against the sky,
Burning dimly every night:
lis a woman watching only,
BY sick bed sad and lonely,
Watching patiently and we'll
Oh. how gently. and how sweetly!
oh, how fondly! none can tell.

Allied Enemies to Health.

In many of the fairest and most fertile dis.
tricts of North and Tropical America, air and
water are allied enemies to health, both be-
ing impregnated with the poisonous MAS
n0ta which produce clills and fever, bilious
remittents and fcbrilc disorders of still
more malignant type. Fortunately, a sure
preventive and curative of such destructive
maladics is to be found in Ilostctter's Stom-
aca Bitters, vegetable preparation which is s
its efficacy and freedom from all hurtful
proper les, to the deleter Gus mineral and
alkaloid remedies of the pharmacop9ia. 1t
is moreover, the reigning specific for dys-
pepsia, debility, constipation, urinary
troubles, rheumatism and nervousness,
promotes appetite and sleep, and is q capital
antidote to depression of spirits.

THE BLAINE LETTERS.
Now thas tho dazzling brilliaucy Of Alr.
R1a1ax'a Monday performance has toned
down somowhat, it is as well that the real
Significance Of his letters 10 considered. 1t
Ia not easy at this time to mako M analytic
examination, since all the lotters which Ar.
BLAINE caused to bs read in tho House aro
not yet ut hand owing to tho singular
omission Of the Pross Agent to telegraph
them the day thoy wero read. Mu1I1oAN,
tho Boston witness, has also int;mated that
Mr. B1A1sn did not produce all the lettera
which no took from MuLt1aAN, but OF courso
tho later cannot tostify absolutely as to this
until ho shall have seen the full collection Of
letters submitted to the House md printed
in tue Congressional Record. There iB like
wise considerable confusion arising from the
arrangement OF tho letters, which seems to
be invorsely in order Of dates, and for the
proper connection between them Mr.. BLAINE
has furnished no guide. An enumeration Of
tho points in this correspondence is, there
fore. necessarily partial, incomplete, and un-
satisfactory; but such as thay arc from tho
data at band we summarize as follows:
/. In regard to the SpExurn riffs contract,
It onno.ra th,t Rt.1y1. before he onterod
Congress, entered into bargain for making
n ss1a to tho Government. throuoh SIMON

having taxes on the arms after ho BECAME a
1uotnbor Of Congress. It also appears from
biz own letters that he took $4,000 worth
q, SPENCER rifle stock, for which he gave
F1Hurn lin note . that oa late AZ 1872 tl,is
! note Ind not been pa;a. but. In a letter 10
Flsnsn in that yenr, BLAINE claimed that
| tha dividends. running nil through these

years anu embracing hls ea'ifo eonefess'on"
| -.
some thousands OF dollars cash, and LETT
| F1sufB 1ntlebted to him some thousands

| more. IL stoma that NIT. BLAINE aiinits,
then, in his own letters that he received tho
stock without paying eash for it, and that
| lo drow dividends On that stock all the time
hc was In Congress, and while he was assst-
ing tho Company in securing legislation to
avoid paying their taxes.
2. In regard to tho Northern Pacific trans
action, the lettors admit TINT 31r. BLAINE was
anxious TO transfer to Fssuxn and others n
lot of tho fictitious stock Of that Company
for $25, GOO cash, and gavo receipt thero-
for. In letter dated July ., 1879, about
eighteen months after ho had receipted for
