FARHER FREE.

FARKER FREE.
Ont Farmer Free!
Good Farmer Free!
The merriest wight IN the world is he,
In sun or rain
Bell ne'er complain,
But scatter and gather his golden grain
'Tis sight to see
Young Farmer Free
In the woods and fields, where he loves to be.
He's tall and slim,
And a ragged brm
Has his hat, which is good enough for him,
For it adds grace
To the sunny face.
That shines like gem in a shady place:
While high and bold
His psn.s are rolled,
And tucked in the boots that are stoutly soed
Now over the saddle
He'll gayly straddle,
Or out in boat like a duckling paddle;
Now here now there.
Now everywhere,
Goes Farmer Free, like sprite of the air,
Swift over the hill
Or down to the MILL
lie does his errands with right good-will;
And building forts
Is one Of his sports,
For when he's not busy he's out of sorts,
Back into town
With 4 coat of brown,
Comes little chap, wiIha bigger frown
Than oft has place

THE ORDER.
w AR DEPARTMENT,
WASuINGInN EIrY Oct II 1S.S


WASHINGTON CITY. Oct. II. 1876.
Gen. W. T. Sherman, ommanding United States
Army:
SIK-In view of the existing condition of
affairs in South Carolina, there is Il possihil-
ity that the proclamation of the President of
this date may be disrcgarded. To provide
against such a contingency, you will immc-
diately order all the available force in the
Military Division of the Atlantic to report to
Gen. Rugcr, commanding at Columbia, S.
C., and instruct that officer to station his
troops in such localities that they may be
most speedily and elIectually used in case
OF resistance to the authority of the
United States. 1t is hoped that collision
may thus be cavoidcd; but you will instruct
Gen. Ruger to let it be known that it is the
fixed purpose of the Government TO carry
out the spirit of the proclamation, and to
sus ain it by the military force of the Gen
cral Government, supplemented, if neccs-
sary, by the militia of the various States.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
d. G. CAMERON,
Secretary Of War.

by reason of inherited infrmities and
ignorant living, are as good as dead
before reaching middle age. Those
whose ancestors have lived gOOdly
life, caring for their bodies as we'll as
their souls, do not reach middle-age
till they have completed their forty
nine years. Seven times seven is the
period for graduating for life work.
But how is it with this generation and
age? Our children are brought up in
violation of the rules of health. and
many who survive might us well have
persisted with the millions who die in
infancy. for they possess neither
strength of body nor of mind.
We seem to have lost the power of
prOlonging life. In this climate, we
are housed for six long months Of the
year, with doors, windows, and even
the chimney-placesc carefully closed up,
that the offensive smells and poison
Gus gases from the cellars, sewers and
water-closets may etfectually whiten
our cheeks and corrupt our blood. 1t
is well known that when the surface
of the earth is frozen over, there is Il
current Of unhealthy gas all the time
entering the warm easements of our
dwellings and lodging permanently
with us in every room to enfeeble and
destroy life. Enter the sleeping
apartments of the majority of houses,
when the sleeperS are leaving their
beds in the morning, and if your nose
is fit for its work, it will tell lament
able story of impaired mental and
physical powers and ineXcusable lg-
nOrance. By-and-bye the architect Of
the future may bring us relief, but in
the meantime it behoOYeS us all to
summon to our help the aid of COM
mon sense, for where there is a will
there is way, in this matter as i'll
most all others. We can do no more
this morning than point the attenOlon
of our readers to some Suggestions
bearing on this exceedingly important
subject.
When we lay in our winter supply of
coal, we first dampen it that it may the
more effectually emit deleteriOus gases
which, all winter, permeate the whole
house. Into our cellars, also, we put
potatoes, cabbages and other decaying
vegetable matter for nosegayS.
Whence come consumption and all kin
dred diseases? We answer, from our
cellars in very many cases. Reader, II
YOU wish to save the life of your wife
and rear your children in vigor, know
the value of pure air, and attend well
to the subtle enemies which attack us
from cellars and sewers.
There are seven means of keeping
cellars sweet. /. Buy vegetables and
other perishable commodities daily in
cities; and in the country, store them
in root house at some distance. ?.
Have the cellar windows open night
and day, except in the coolest weather
3. Have your furnace for heating the
house in the cellar, drawing in the
air from it all winter, and sending 1t
up the chimney. 4. Have every part
scrupulously cleansed and swept fire.
uuently. 5. Whitewash it all over
three or four times year. 6. Put in
coal perfectly dry. 7. Keep no live
stock of any kind in it.-N. Y. W.T.
