The white people in every neighborhood

Farm Life.

a little observation is sufficient to con
vince an ordinury observer that there is a
mistaken idea existing among tho masses in
.rgard to farm life An idea is prevalent
that the business of farming is so simple that
it can b. successfully conducted by any
one, and that all who possess moderntc
business capacity should seek other vocations
in order that they may be useful aud find
exercise in some complex profession for
their cultivated minds. Fortunately, this
idea is not universal, and wo think ii the
subject could receive the consideration
which it merits this notion would be less
prevalent
The farm furnishes q boundlcss field for art
and science. The farmer may cxperimen
tally aud practically exercise the former aud
apply the latter to tho multifarious chores
pertaining to his profession. An agricul
tural writer SAYS: ga farmer shoula 5ss 5s a.,
H. ~. a. aan'd 49, -Iii a., merchant or
lawyer Like them he requires brain US
well as capital, and moro brain than is gen
orally thought necessary"
Our prosperity and vital interests demand
that our country be more fully developed
agriculturally. The mercantile businc IS is
important and should receive the attention
necessary to make it subservo the interest of
the land; VIC want lawyers, doctors and men
of various other professions; but rcstora.
:ion Of the equilibrium Of the great tdo of
commerce demands that there be ar acoes
sion to our catalogue Of farmers of number
of men who possess capital, forethought ond
energy. There arc thousands Of such men
and will they not consult their own porma.
nent interest together with that of the
country at large and engage in business
(farming) hcaithful, honorable and remu-
nerativc?
Wo believe there is time in the near
future when farmers will DO their own mas.
tersj when other professions upon which
they greatly depend will be subordinate to
that of agriculture; when, unlike the pre-
vai'ing, habit of tho present day, the farmers
will be their own creditors; when they will
b relieved of the necessity of placing them
selves under obligations to the merchant
for means to cultivate their Iunds, and when
they will become. as they should, indcpen-
dent and self sustaining. That time will
DC hastcned in proportion as they cooperate
and WORT for the promotion of ench others
interest.
1t tis-plaip that there is no other business
in which We can engage will furnish a
greater variety Of exercise, both men,al and
physical. There is no business failure of
which will work greater injury to our na
tional prosperity or upon tho success Of
which depends, to greater extent, the
general progress of tho various industries of
our land In view of these facts may wo
not expect an accession to our ranks ere long
of oumbor Of competent men who will
make agriculture specially and assist US in
making it pleasant and rcmuncrutivo?

Flowers Tilat Never wi.i,cr.

There are flowers that never wither,
There are skies that never fade,
There are trees that Gust forever
Cooling bowers of leafy shade.
There arc silver wavclets flowing
With lulling sound of rest,
Where the west wind, softly blowing,
Fans the far lands Of tho blcst.
Thitherward our steps are tending,
Oft through dim, depressing fears;
Moro of grief than pleasure blending
lu the darknest woof Of years.
Often would our footsteps weary,
Sink upon the winding way,
But that, when oil looks most drcary,
O'er US benms cheering ray.
Thus the Father, who hath mado US
Tenants of this world of care,
KDoweth how to kindly aid us
with the burdens we must bear;
knoweth how to cause the spirit
Hopefully to raise its eyes
Toward the homo it doth inherit,
Ear beyond the azure skies.
There is voice that whispers lowly,
Down within this heart of mino,
Where emotions the most holy
Ever mark their sacred shrine;
And it tells a thrilling story
Of the great Redeemer's l3ve,
And tho oil bowilderiug glory
OF tho better land above,

llasteth onward to close
ln few moro brief to-morrows
Will have ended all our woes.

Shall sublimely rise and soar,

OLD DEMONSTRATES Gen Jackson had

tEe ladies of South Carolina presented him
with magnificent silver vase as a tcstimo-5
nial of their respect for the man who had
whipped out Gen. Paekcnham and bis army
When "Old Hickory" died, he loft in his
Will clause that tho vase should bo re.
turned to the man in this State who should
bear himself most galIantly in any war
America might have with foreign power.
After the old hero died ard the Mexican
war was over Andrew Jackson Donaldson,
the adopted son of General jackson, und
one of dis executors, sent tho vase to Co.
lumbia, to be presented to the brayest man
10 the glorious old Palmetto Regiment.
Where all had borne themselves so gallantly
it was impossible to decide who the Vase
belonged to, and it was Gnally concluded
that 1t should be conveyed to Captain w.
Is. Stanley, as President of the Survivors
Association of Mexican Veterans, in trust
for the last survivor. Governor Alston was
Governor OF South Carolina at tho time Of
the transfer. The very vase can nov be

FritZ'S Troubles.

Fritz has had more trouble with
his neighbor. This time he deter
mined to appeal to the majesty Of
the law, and accordingly consulted
a legal gentleman.
"How vas dose tings!" he said.
"Vell, vallar's got garten, und
der other vallar's gat some chick
ems eat 'um up. Don't you got
some law for dotl"
"Some ones chickens have been
destroying your garden Z" asked the
lawyer.
"Straw in mine garden Nine,
it was vegetables"
"And the chickens committed
deprepations on them!"
"Ish dot so 7" asked Fritz in as
tonishment.
"And you want to sue him for
damages p continued the lawyer.
"Yaas; gott for tamages, und der
gabbages und der lettuges ?"
"Did you notify him to coop his
chickens upi"
"Yaae; l did notify him."
"And what did he ssyl"
"He notify me to go to haal, und
wipe mine shin off my vest"
"And he refused to comply with
your demand 3"
"Hey 2"
'He allowed his chickens to run
ct larger"
"Yaas. Some vas large und some
vas leedle fellows, but they bos
scratch mine garden more as der
sefen dime idch."
"Welp you want to sue him ?"
"Yaas, want to sue him to make
vone blank fence ub sixdeen feed
his house all aroundt, vot der tam
chickens don't got ofer."
The lawyer informed him that he
could not compel him to build such
a fence, and Fritz left in rage, ex-
claiming:
"Next summer dime | raise me
chickens, too, yeu bet. l raise fid-
in chickens, by tam. Wipe off yer
vest down."
