Loss of Mind in Old Age.


Fatuity frsm old age cannot be
cured, but, it may be prevented by
employing the mind constantly in
reading and conversation in the ev-
cning of life. DIR. johnson ascribes
the fatuity of Dean Swift to two
causes; first, toa resolution he made
in his youth that he would never
wear spectacles, from the want OF
which he was unable to read in the
decline of life, and secondly to his
avarice, which led him to abscond
! from visitors, or deny himself to
company, by which means he depri-
we'd himself of the only two meth
DDS by which new ideas are acquired,
or old ones renovated. His mind,
from these causes, languished for
want of exercise, and gradually col,
lapsed into idiotism, in which state
he spent the close of his life ina hos
pital founded by himself for persons
afflicted with the same disorder, Of
which he finally died.
Country people, when they have
no relish for books, when they lose
their ability to work, or to go abroad
from age or weakness, are very apt
to become fatuous, especially as they
are too often deserted in their old
age by the younger branches of theiI
families, in consequence of which
their minds become torpid from the
want of society and conversation
Faulty is more rare in cities than
in country places, only because soci.
ETY. and conversation can be had in
them upon more easy terms; and ii
is less common among women than
men, only because their employ
ments are of such natures as to ad.
nit of their being carried on by
their fire-sides, and in a sedentary
posture.

The following is from a Chicago

How bravely a man can walk the
earth, bear the heaviest burdens,
perform the severest duties, and look
all men square in the face, if he only
bears in his breast a clear conscience
There is no spring, no spur, no in
spiration like this. To feel that we
have omitted no just act, and left nc
obligation untitled fills the heart
with satisfaction and the soul with
strength. Conscienceitis said, makes
towards of us all-but only towards

KEEP YOUR TROUBLES SACRED.-A worthy
wife of forty years standing, and whose
life has not been made of sunshine and
peace. gave the following sensible advice to
a married pair of her acquaintance. The
advice is so good and SO well suited to all
married people as well as those who
intend entering that state, that we here
publish it for the benefit of such persons ::
Preserve sacredly the privacies of your own
house. your married state, and your heart.
Let no father or mother, sister or brother,
ever presume to come between you two, or
10 share the joys and the sorrows that
belong to you two alone. With Gods help
build your own quiet world not allowing
your dearest earthly friend to be the conf
dant of aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments of alienation, if they
occur, be healed at once. Never, no, never
speak of it outside; but to each other con
feSs, and all will come out right. Never
let the morrows sun still find you al
variance. Review and renew your VOW
it will Go you good, and thereby your souls
will grow together, connected in that love
which is stronger than death, and you viii
become truly one.

4 DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.-William Russell,
a wealthy farmer, residing near Rosedale,
Pa, committed suicide, on Wednesday,
last, by hanging. Last September Russell,
who was widower, married against the
wishes of his daughter, who left her fathers
house, and went to a neighboring village,
where she was married to young man to
whom she had been engaged for some time,
but was Objectionable to the father When
Russell returned to his home with his
bride and found that his daughter had
left, he fastened to the village, and rushing
into the room where the bridal party were
dining, with a butcher knife, attempted to
kill his son-in-law, who in selfdefense,
drew his pistol and fired at Russell, but the
ball entered the brain of the young bride,
who had at the moment attempted to get
between the combatants, and she fell a
corpse, whereupon the groom put the
pistol to his own head and blew his brain:
out.

in st. Paul, Mimi, Of whom IL, -. ....t
little in eleven years, was run over by a
train and killed. AT breakfast she told her
dream to her husband, who laughed at the
impression it left on her mind. A minute
later and dispatch was handed to the
trembling woman. She looked at the
date; it was st. Paul. She nearly tainted
when her husband, looking over hel
shoulder, read that on the very night o.
the dream, and the exact hour and minute
thereof, making due allowance for longi

An old woman died recently in Bristol,
England. who owned, among other property
a very valuable collection of studies from
the nude naked paintings) by well-known
artists. A married niece in the house at
the time of her death thought these were
highly improper paintings, and the moment
her aged relation died, burned them up
When the will was opened the niece
learned that her only legacy was these
pictures which she had burned, and which
were worth about $4,000.

Farmers, Ancient and Modern.

Here is an extract from an address dellv-
cred before Kentucky Grange: One
more suggestion, and | shall have DONE
As YOU see that the interests OF farmers
need special looking after, cast about ior
farmers as representatives of farmers.
Remember the adage, "if you want
thing we'll done, do it YOURSELF Heed
not for moment the sneer, farmers are
not competent" History, sacred and pro
fame. ancient and modern, disproves the
assertion. Moses, the greatest OF all law
civers. was for forty years farmer; he
kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law.
David. skilled alike 10 WELD the sword,
syyav the sceptre, or . wake to ecstacles the
living lyre," was called by God from the
sheepfold. Cincinnatus, the consul, the
dictator, and twice the saviour OF Rome,
left his farm with regret at the summons OF
his country, and as gladly returned to 1t
when his task was done. Dicletian, whom
Gibbon regards as one of the most illus
trious of Roman Emperors, resigned the
purple. and upon being requested to
resume it, said in reply, 1" if you could only
see the cabbages which l have raised with
my own hands, you would not ask me to
give up the employment of happiness fol
the pursuit of power Cromwell, perhap:
the greatest soldier and the greatest ruler
Of England. was a farmer. Five of oul
Presidents-Je Jefferson, Madison, Jackson
Washington and Harrison-were farmers
Washington minutely directed the manage
ment of his farm when President. Jefer
son added to his reputation as statesman
President and philosopher, both at hom
and abroad, by demonstrating the scientific
principles involved in the proper construc
tion of the mold board of the pillow. Thre
of our most brilliant statesmen-Randolph
Clay. and Webster-and a host of lesse
lights. were farmers. Fear not, then, t
trust farmers as representatives
farmers, provided, they be known to
honest and capable. Nay, prefer farmer
if YOU would effectually hedge about tn
interests of the farmer with the Cover
ment.
