Have Faith In Your Business,

The Lire Stock Journal thus discourses
on subject which is applicable to men
IN all avecatlons, and especially to farmers
who are most apt TO become discouraged
over temporary failures of crops and low
prices for products:
John johnson, of Geneva, N. Y, came
to this country with little more means
than to plant him on his American farm.
He saw the needs of his soil, and com
menced draining off its surplus water, and
the jeers of his neighbors at his folly were
soon turned to establishment at the crops
he produced. They saw him reap wheat
crop double the average of the State
raise cattle, and feed sheep, at a profit,
while others only reported loss. He pro-
ceeded, with the calm confidence of knowl.
edge, to tile and drain his 300 acres, at an
expense much greater than he paid for his
farm; but for some years, in relief of his old
age, he has been able to rent portions of it
at S25peracre. He had faith in his business.
There is no occupation Of man that requires
for its successful prosecution, more careful
study, more confidence based upon knowI-
edge, than agriculture We see the want of
faith in the conduct ola large class of farm
ers who never seem to have hit upon the
right line ofbusiness. Now they are dairy
ing, having gone into it when dairy stock
was high, costing a large sum to start, but
the product having been depressed for a few
months, all confidence is gone in the future
OF the dairy industry, and the cows are sold
at heavy loss. Next they take to sheep,
wool soon has its turn of depression, and
confidence is lost in this industry, and its
abandonment follows. Hops now become
their hobby. Fifty cents per pound is quite
too alluring; but when their crop comes,
season ofplenty has returned, and down goes
the price to ten cents. Woe meets them
there; they turn in disgust from their thrifty
vines, and seek theirneighbors to whom they
sold their cows. And now begins the dairy
ing again-this business of battle door and
shuttlecock, "cverything by turns and moth
ing long" These are the farmers who talk
loudest that farming does not pay.
How strange that they should not see
that every great agricultural industry is
founded on the wants Of society, and that
these needs continue ever the same, the
price of the product being governed entire
ly by demand and supply. Each branch
must have its fluctuation in price, and the
only true way to determine the profit is to
take the average oftenyears. Thisaverage
will SHOW fair prices for dairy products, for
wool, for beef or mutton, for grain, forhops,
for fruit, and for every product of the farm.
The mole-eyed man who can only see one
years returns, and tries to govern his actions
by that, will always find himself in the ebb
of the tide.

THE LITTLE BIRD.

A little bird, with feathers brown,
Sits singing on a tree;
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as it could be.
And all the people passing by,
Looked up to see the bird
That made the sweetest melody
That ever they had heard.
But all the bright eyes looked in vain,
For birdie was SO small,
And with n modest, dark brown coat,
He made no show at all.
"Why, papa" little Oracle said,
"Where can this birdie be?
If could sing song like that
I'd sit where folks could see."
~ hope my little girl will learn
A lesson from that bird,
And try to do what good she can
Not to be seen or heard.
"Ths birdie is content to sit
Unnoticed by the way,
And sweetly sing his Makers praise
From dawn to close of day.
$50 live, my child, all through your life,
That be it short or long,
Though others may forget your looks,
They'll not forget your song"

VERY IMPORTANT.

Mr.. Ea;t0r Of Tie IBgiS G Mteuignccr:
AS there is a great deal of rivalry everywhere
in the political field, in the social circle and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking 1t has been attacked by
Jealous rivals, but since it las taken the lead
of all Erstclass Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally supercede them. 1t has in
,currcd tic spite and envy of those who coud
not secure the sale of it, so much so that they
stake our double Gre shield cross piece and un
.crew them and show buyers one.half and say
Jhe TIMES COOK has very light castings. They
also say it will not bake well, draw well, is not
No. iron, &C., &c.
So the only security for buyers is to come di-
rect to No. 96 ". Gag Street, near Front Street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest most economical, and
best BAKING STOVE ever made Every one
OF the TIMES COOK is guaranteed 10 bake per.
fectly.
The reason can sell them SO cheap is that
am connected with the "QuakertOwn Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves so YOU
buy from first hands. No two profits at Young
Glucks.
We do say it is the heaviest, largest aud the
best working stove ever offered for sale.
Nearly eight thousand sold.
Call and examine for yourself.

A REMARKABLE SUICIDE-A MAN Con-
sTRUCTs MACHINE FOR BEHEADINd HIM
sELF.-A dispatch from Lafayette, Ind, to
the Chicago Tribune gives the particulars OF
the suicide of James A. Moore, who resided
near that city, ON Saturday night last
Moore came TO the Lair House, in LAFAYETTE
on Saturday, said he was perlecinp an in
venlon, and would probably stay a week,
but would visit his home Monday, and pre-
paid his bill till that time. He called at
machine shop. had n large new broad.axe,
and two bars of 3 inch wide by 1.inch thick
iron, 1G inches long, which he had rivcted To
the head OF the axe. On either side, fastened
to these bars in the shape of handle to an
axe, he had system of wooden bars 8 feet
long, the extreme end of which was fastened
to cross-p piece, secured to the floor by hinges
The axe was raised and held to its nearly per-
pendlcular position by a double cord, iasten-
! ed to the wall. Between the cords stood
candle, arranged so that when the candle burn.
cL down to the cords ii would burn them
Off and the axe fall. Where the axe would
strike he placed a small box, open on one
side, i'll which when found, was his head with
some cotton, which had been chlorofomed.
Ills chin was held up from his neck by stick
run across the box, through holes either side,
holding his head firmly in position. He
was Strapped llghtly 10 the fioor with two
straps, one around his legs, another about
his arms and breast. The straps were both
screwed to the floor, rendering it impossible
to move. 1t is supposed that he set his axe,
lit the candle, and strapped himself to the
floor, put his head in the box with the chlor-
oiormed cotton, and was probably insensible
when the axe fell. The axe and fixings would
weigh about 80 pounds, and would fall
distance of from 10 to - feet His head was
completely severed from the body, and the axe
buried in the boards beneath

A few days ago the friends of the
great reformer, in and about Chicago,
were thrown into a fever of excitement
by the report that the name of one of
the Republican candidates for elector,
Joseph j. Castles, had, in a considera-
BILE part of the State, been printed on
the ticket without the final $50; that
there was a Joseph ]. Castle somewhere
down in Egypt, and that the missing
vote to elect Tilden vas to be secured
through this clerical error. strange to
say, mer III newspapers that have
nluch to say about frauds and IAN hon
est count" seemed overjoyed by this re-
port and quite ready to rob the people
of Illinois of their choice by so shabby a
trick. But when all the official returns
were in it was found that the name of
Mr.. Crstles had been correctly spelled
in every instance, and the Democratic
jaw went down again.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-12-06

1t would seem from dispatches from
Florida that some of Mr.. Tilden's re-
formers have been proceeding upon the
truth of the oft repeated charge that all
carpet-baggers are corrupt and purchas-
able scoundrels. As a consequence a
number of these apostles of reform have
been compelled to leave Florida in haste
to avoid arrest. They thought they
could buy that needed vote for Tilden,
and found out their mistake after they
had committed themselves. This is
bad business for men who are making
such an cutlery about fraud on the Re-
publican side.

Surface Dizziness.

The witticSt and most able writers
have been remarkable for their dull
ness in conversation. Describes, the
famous mathematician and philoso-
pher ; La FOntainc, celebrated for his
witty fables; and Button, the natural
ist, were all singularly deficient in the
power of conversation. Mormontel,
the novelist, was so dull in society
that his friend said of him, after his
interview, II must go and read his
tales, in rccompense to myself for the
WEAKNESS of hearing him." As to
Corncille, the dramatist Of France, he
was so completely lost in socicty-sO
absent and embarrassed that he wrote
of himself Il witty .couplet, Importing
that he was never Ineligible hut
through. the mouth of another. The
brilliant Charles III was so charmed
with the humor Of "Hudibras" that
he caused himself to be introduced in
the character of private citizen to
Butler, its author. The witty King
found its author to be very dull COM
panion, and was of the opinion, with
many Others, that so stupid fellow
could never have written so clever Z
book. Addison, whose classic elegance
has long since been considered the
model of style, was shy and absent III
society, preserving even before single
stranger formal silence. In converse
ton Dante was tactiturn and satirical.
Gray and Alferi seldom talked Oh
smiled. RoSsau was remarkably dull
in conversation, without Il word of fam
cy Or eloquence in his speech. Milton
was unsocial and sarcastic when much
pressed by strangers.
