ROWING FARMERS.


There is class of farmers, says an
exchange paper, who are constantly on
the lookout for a better place to 60.
Their farms are always ''for SALE" and
they dream of luxurient lands, in some
other part of the country. which can be
bought 'for song," where they imag-
inc they would be more prosperous and
enjoy life better than where they now
reside. Many of these men own mort
gagged farms and for such men to de-
sire to remove where they can own
free farm /; though it be far, far away.
is but natural manifestation to better
ones condition which the human mind
cannot resist. But where can those
men go, after selling their farms, and
be contented? ? This is serious ques-
tion, which no man can answer Of his
own knowledge. Suppose they can sell
out. and command thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars after paying all their
debts, and they start for "the West"
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, or some other
State. Eighty acres of land, with
comfortable house or log cabin on it,
can be bought for from $5 to $40 per
acre. The land is all right, as good as
''lies out of doors;' but alas for the
surroundings. Neighbors are scarce,
society is myth; and the poor, frail
housewife, who follows her husband
without murmur. pines for friends.
The children have to go two miles or
farther to school 1; and in the winter sea-
son they cannot attend much of the
time in consequence of storms. Church
es are "few and far between" and the
people are generally mixture of va
rious nations; and the result of all is,
that many an Eastern farmer who goes
West is unhappy and wishes himself
back on his old homestead. So if one
goes South, or anywhere, he will not
find things just to his mind If one
thing is better than on the old place,
another is worse: and taking all things
into consideration, but few farmers
change their residence, who are able to
make living on the old place, that bet
ter themselves by removing to a distant
State. One may obtain rich lands at
low price where there -ia --~-l-Oe-
for what he grows; and he may get into
an unhealthy locality, and soon he may
bury his wife and children, and what
then Pa gloomy world for him.

the FISHERS OF GALILEE.
BY ALICE CARY.

There were seven fishers with nets in their hands,
And they walked and talked by the sea side sands,
Yet sweet as the sweet dew fall
The words they spake though they spoke SO low,
Across the long, dim centuries flow,
And we knew them. one aud all
Ay, know them and love them all.
Seven sad men In the days Of old
And one was gentle. and ono was bold.
And they walked with downward eyes;
The bold was Peter, the gentle was John,
And they all were sad, for the Lord was gone,
And they knew not If lie would rise
Knew not II their dead would rise.
The livelong night, till the moon went out
In the drowning waters, they beat about;
Beat slow through the fog their way;
And the sails dropped down with wrlnging wet,
And no man drew but an empty net,
And now twas break Of day
The great glad break Of day.
"Cast in your nets on the other sidel"
CTwas Jesus speaking across the tideD
And they cast and were dragging hard
But that disciple whom Jesus loved
Cried straightway out, for his heart was moved,
"It is our risen Lord
Our Master and our Lordg'
Then Simon, girding his fishers coat,
Went over the nets and out OF the boat
Ay, first Of them all was he;
Repenting sore the denial past,
He feared no longer his heart to cast
Like an achor into the sea
Down deep in the hungry sea.
And the others through the mist so dim
In little ship came after him.
Dragging their net through the tide;
And when they had gotten close 10 the land,
They saw a fire Of Goals on the sand.
Aud, with arms Of love so wide,
Jesus, the crucihedi
'Tis long, and long, and long ago
Since the rosy lights began to flow
Ger the hills of Galiee
And with eager eyes and liited hands
The seven fishers saw on the sands
The fire Of Goals by the sea
On the wet, wild sands by the sea.
'Tis long ago, yet faith In our souls
Is kindled just by the fire OF Goals
That streamed DER the mists of the sea;
Where Peter girdled his fishers coat,
Went over the nets and out Of the boat.
To answer. "Lov'st thou me? ?"
Thrice over, "Lov'st thou meg'

THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNoCKs.-A
great deal of useless sympathy is in
this day expended upon those who start
out in life without social or monetary
help. Those are most to be congratulate
ed who have at the beginning rough
tussel with circumstances. John Ruskin
sets it down as one of his calamities
that in early life he had nothing to
endure" (" A petted and dandled child
makes a weak and insipid man. You
say that Ruskin just quoted disproves
the theory. No he is showing in de-
jected, splenetic and irritable old age
the need of the early cudgeling of adver-
sity. A little experience of the hard
ship of life would have helped to make
him gratefully happy now. No Drawn

ton. The men who sit strong in their
social and financial elevations are those
who did their climbing. Misfortune is
a rough nurse, but she raises giants.

them back and down, take them as par

The capitalist who made his thousands,
while the soldier was standing between
him and the enemy for thirteen dollars
a month, now, when the financial skies
are lowering, never once thinks of cur
failing his own luxuries, but at once
applies the pruning knife to lop off a
portion of the small pittance of the Ia
boring man, who stood between him and
the enemy when the life of the nation

"NoT PREPARED. The drawer"
in the November Harper, has this from
the very down Eastern most section of
our precious country:
1t is customary with the students in
our college to say ''Not prepared, " when
called upon to recite difficult and not
well-memorized passage. On a hot sum-
mer afternoon, the class was sleepily
stumbling through the introduction to
Buffers analogy. The reverend doctor
was quite as familiar with the subject
matter as with the number Of chapters
and sections, and had way Of his own
in calling for recitation, which sounded
quite as much like call to judgment as
call to recite The lesson was going
badly, and the doctor, nesting in his
chair, called out, "Mr. T., you may
pass on to the Future Life. !"
Mr.. r was too much of wag to
let the opportunity slip, and promptly
responded, "Not prepared"

THE BOGUS CHECK.

THE EXAMINATION OF MAXWELL AT ThE ToMBs
STILL UNFINISHED BROWNS TESTIMONY
SHAKEN.
The examination Of George l.. Maxwell for alleged
completely tho fraudulent $64 900 check transaction
was resumed at the Tombs Police Cour, yesterday be-
fore Judge DUFFY. Maxwell occupied his accustomed
seat and listened acntivcy and with satisfied
the cross-examinatiou OF Horace 4. Brown by coun-
sellor Seward.
Mr. Brown again went the history OF the check,
answering each question with slowncss indicative Of
great caution. Referring TO the mysterious note
which Brown testified 10 receiving on the occuson Of
his dining with Maxwell, counsel made the witness
contradict his testimony at the direct examination.
ON that occasion Brown stated that he did
not know whose handwriting the note was. Yes
tcrday he Stated that II was IN tho handwriting
OF /. a. Brown. The witness denied knowing who tho
check and also denied all knowledge Of tho identity Of
George Myers, Jr tho signer Of the note purportng
to be from the New York Life Insurance Company,
employing Maxwell. He, however, admitted being ac
quaintcd with n Mr. Edward Myers, but dsclamcd any
connection between the two Witness had never heard
that "Brokcr Dick, ;" whoever that parsonage might
be- had procured the messenger and ignorant also
that the SAID messenger was q resident OF New Bruns-
wick, N. J. Chadwick had told him, tho
both in Newark, " j. During all
the conversations which took place between witness
and Maxwell the Idea Of the cheek being forgery
was never broachcd Both honestly beloved that tho
check was n genuine onc When Maxwell manifested
scruples about proceeding TO buy gold the letter
from George Myers, Jr, and asked witness procure
u letter IRON the responsible officer of the New York
Lie Insurance Company, he tIIrown) informed Chad
wick, and the latter agreed 10 get the desired letter
and remove Maxwcll's scruples on the subject.
KNOCK DOWN poR MAXWELL.
Browns crcdbillty was considerably shaken by the
evidence OF William q. White, cashier and William B.
Banker. paying teller Of the United States SubTrea
ury. In his direct examination Brown sworc that
Maxwell gave MIN gold certificate OF $40 900 10 get
broken, and that he, Brown got ch the SUBJ
Treasury, having been introduced either the cashier
or paying teller by u Mr.. Hurlburt Both those gen.
tcmcn took the stand and swore 10 having
Brown much less TO having transacted tho business
with him.
Aner Brown had occupied some three hours on the
stand Judge Duffy Insisted on bringing the examina
ton to close. but Counsellor Seward took exceptions
claiming that he should be allowed iull latitude IN en-
deavorng to show the innocence Of his client Con.
siderable discussion cnsued and finally resulted In
Judge Duly setting down Monday, the 10Th inst, ol
