The condition of the industrial classes in
quite as demoralizing as hard times. After
the close of the Franco-German war, wages
rose to an unnatural level, all classes fancied
that the flood-tide of prosperity had set in,
dispensable, a craving fer wealth beset all
classes and discontentment was fomented, and
the ultimate result was deterioration of work.
manship. Herr Reuleaux has summed it up:
''The products of German workmen are want
ing in finish, wanting in soundness, wanting
in taste, and absolutely devoid of imagra-
tion." The best work in the world is one by
contented workingmen who are moderately
prosperous.

OF fruitfulness, that it is not of the least con-
sequence how frequently crops of the most
exhausting characteristics succeed each

The truth is, farming requires to be car
ried on as all other successful ways of bust
ness are. Any shop-keeper, if man Of bus

sell readily, and as he finds that one partic,l-
lar class of goods pay him best for having

WHAT FARMING IS AND WHY SOME
FARMERS FAIL.

If any one considers s what farming isl
or what it ought to be, they would come to
the conclusion that farming ought to be the
managing of land so as to keep it in cond-
ton to pay for occupation, and there may be [
many farms which pay for occupation Which
will not pay for cultivation that is. there
are vast tracks Of country which, from the
nature of the soil, from the high price of la |
boz, and from its adaptablity to remain in
permanent actual grass, would pay exceed
ingly well to Craze with any kind Of live
stock and by raising stock, dairying, fatten-
ing and wool growing, ETC., money could be-
made very fast--this would be farming, and
any system of cultivation and course Of crop-I
ping on good, free working land, which,
would keep the land rich in plant-food and
allow Of selling enough to cover expenses
and pay interest of capital and also profit toll
occupier, would be farming, and good farm
ing too. Therefore, it is easy 70 say what
farming is but robbing the land is not farm
ing-it is running down of Gods bearti-
full earth and although many men purchase
a fine tract Of land and accumulate a fortune
from the fine crops the new virgin soil pro-
duces, if they take crop after crop without
some system of reimbursing it for the drain
upon its productive powers, they are. not
farmers in a strict sense of the word, but real
despoilers of their country's wealth, and are
deserving of reprobation.
Farming, to be worthy ofthe name, should
be conducted SO that the manure made on
the farm be applied to produce a very heavy
quantity of some nutritious food for cattle
or sheep; thus, the converting of such an
extra growth of vegetable food into dung
and urine again adds to the richness Of the
soil, so that rotation can permit the sale
of some valuable crop, and the end of the
term of course will find the land better than
before, and the manure made on the farm
will have increased because the produce
from which it has been made has been more
and consequently, on an improving system,
the manure will augment in proportiol to
the crops.
i Market-gardening is not farming-fuit-
growing is not farming for horticnlturand

FARMERS AND EARMING G..

We farmers get a great deal Of good adj
vice. We are glad SO many are interested
in our welfare. Farming would seem to be
the natural employment of mankind, and
those who are unable, or unwilling, to gain
living and supply their own wants by cul-
tivating the soil, are very willing to tell 9th
ers how to do it. But often those who are
least able to give advice, are the most pro-
fuse with their counsels. There is not much
wisdom in their reproofs no do they always
fall on obedient ears. If those who walk
with wise men become wise, then it is very
essential that we receive our instruction
from men wiser tnan ourselves. 1t we are
to learn industry from the bees, and the ants,
there can be nothing degrading in learning
something from the humblest of mankind.
But no teacher can impart much knowledge
to his pupils, if he has not more intelligence
than they. It will be conceded that farm
ers are the most numerous, the most useful,
and the most Industrious of all classes. And
we think it can be proven, that they are not
only the most honest, butdecidedly the best
business men in the commonwealth. We
are told we work too much and think too
little, that we have not the accuracy and en-
ergy Of business men, that we oughtto open
debtor and creditor side with every field
on our farm, and know what every bushel
of wheat, and every animal costs us. This
is all very well in theory, we know some
thing about books and prompt payments,
and what we are doing. We want to look
at the results, the facts and figures, to ascer-
tain who are the safest and most reliable
men in the community. It has often been
stated that ninety per. cent. Of our merchants
or business men fail, sometime during their
career, to meet their obligations. We estimate
that ninety per cent. of our everyday farm
ers, never fail to pay their honest debts, new
er defraud their creditors, nor take advan-
tage of the bankrupt law. 1t this IS cor
rect estimate, then young people when they
go into business, may expect there are nine
chances in ten, they will fail in business ana
defraud their creditors. And if they begin
life on farm with industrious habits, ana
good moral character, there are nine cnances
in ten. they will not fail to pay their homes

Feminine FarewelIs.

Yesterday morning large number Of
the fair ones of one Of our most popular
female colleges assembled at the railroad
depot to take farewell glance at the
city of Wilmington till after the holi.
days. Some, however, were not there to
say goOd-by to the city, but only to
many who were about to leave it. A
few moments preceding the arrival Of
the train which was to convey more than
one away to the homes Of pleasure
and happiness, there might have been
seen in the waiting room of the depot
groups of these young ladies discussing
in an excited manner the latest and most
becoming style of pull-back; how the
hair should be worn; what beaver cap
would cost, and how many presents the
coming holidays would bring. Jennie, :"
said the center figure of one of these
groups, "do you intend to have your
sack cut bias, and will you wear your
new blue silk to the party tonight, and
those s." The word was drowned in
the noise of the shrill whistle of the ap-
preaching train, which soon thundered
up to the station. Then there was a
perceptible stir among these devOtees of
fashion; the groups were broken, and in
the midst of the cries of "Come girls !"
from one; "Got your ticket7" from an
other, they hastily made for the cars, then
came the scenes over which heart of mar
BILE might be moved to tenderness. There
was no discrimination made of hats or
collars; but without the regard to dam
age, arms pressed in close embrace, to
arms that embrace again; lips met; eyes
spoke love to eyes that spoke love again
cheeks were bedewed with falling tear
drops; and above it all arose that un-
mistakable sound of swapping fingers.
At last the conductor cried out "All
aboardv' the warning bell struck the
dismal sound, and as forty handkerchiefs
waved on the breeze the train moved of,
leaving many hearts happy, and sorry,
too. The train was not yet out of sight
when the tear-drops that had stained the
cheeks of those who remained were
miraculously dried; the handkerchiefs
were replaced; the ladies formed them
selves in line, and as they marched away
one who had Eept much and kissed fre-
quently thus addressed her companions
