Education for Farmers.

Farmers, you are degrading your yoca-
ton IN the eyes of your own children /;
you are creating in their minds a preiu-
dice against what onsht to be The most
honorable Of secular callings; and you
are retariing the cause of agricultural
progress, by the low estimate which YOU
place upon the education needed tor your
sons whom you desire 10 see follow IN
your footsteps.
Besides all this, you are in error when
you hold that a man who cultiSates the
soil does not need an education. Leaving
out Of the calculation all consideration Of
what may be called professional education,
or that education which is specially de-
signed as training for particular calling
in life; there is certain amount of edu-
cation which should be common to all
vacations. And this is education in the
higher and truer sense; system OF men.
tai culture intended to develop or drqp
out the mind, whereby it is trained to
think correctly, and to gather from the
world around it materials for happy
and useful life. This much education ev
cry man would be the better for having,
whether he is to be a farmer or a pLiIoso

money.
Farmers are very busily engaged in
blowing; some have plowed their corn
over the second time, aud some are law

There has been very large crop of
tobacco set out in tins neishborhood, but
there is not much prospect of its bringing

Whipping in Public schools.

The question of corporal punishment
IN the Public Schools has lately been re-
vived in New York. 1t seems that there
is law in that State prohibiting such
punishment. providing for expulsion in
stead, and, since its adoption, the youth,
full culprit, freed from fear Of birch to
back or rule to hand. has become so in
eorrigible as to be well nigh unbearable
Hence, party has been formed favoring
the adoption of the old>time system Of
hagellation. and the matter was referred
by the Board Of Education to Commis,
sion to consider and report upon. This
was done. and the report submitted
brought no solace to the youthful mind
1t strongly advocated a repeal Of the law,
and re-adoption of the logging system.
1t claimed that statistics show that
where hogginS is inflicted, discipline is
better kept up, the attendance Of pupils
u much more regular, and, in every way,
better results have been attained. More
over, the Commissioners claim that legis-
lation of the nature complained of is IL
legal; that no Superintendent has a right
to expel a child from Public School, to
the privileges of which every one Is en-
titled; and, further, ihat every teacher
stands towards the pupils .. loco parents.
and possesses the Inherent legal right to
whip just as much as he or she pleases
All which goes to prove that solomon
was very wise man, aud was perfectly
correct In his views regarding the spar
ing Of the rod, as also in his assertion
that "there is nothing new under the
sun"

little dreamed in the whiiom days,
When the sun shone bright for the,
when each sparkling shaft Of golden sPral
Wove a diadem for thee,
That a cloud should ever overcast
That dazzling orb Of joy,
And spread its shadowy wings at last,
And fancy's hope destroy
little dreamed that love like thine,
So chaste, So pure, so free,
Should ever feel the serpen, twino
His deceptive net for thee;
Nor the dancing light Of thy joyous eye
BE dim'd by deed Of mine
Loves slumbering FIRE, in years gone by,
First caught the spark from thine.
I little dreamed the siren seng
Would trill so sweet for me,
And each waTblsd note, that linger'd long,
Was poisoned melody;
Aud the ruby WINE slipped with joy,
Was faithless pledge Of mine,
And each pledge gave did but destroy
The love go justly thine.
little dreamed few feet years
Could make such saddcned changes,
And the sunny smile give place to tears
MARRIED by their bitter traces;
That in each sparkling glass Of wine,
A germ unseen is there,
That bursting forth, a flower Is seen,
Whose Fragrance i' despair
Though thou little drcam'd Il joy again
The clouds have drifiod DER,
And the star OF hope edulgcnt CLEANS
Far greater than before,
And Love shall Irvine for thee gem,

Aud thy brow shall wear the diadem
promised in thy youth.

Advertising does pay. The man who
don't believe in advertising should emf
CRATE to Alaska. where there are no
papers. He is too much of an old fogy
to live in this intelligent. enterprising
country. He ought to step down and out,
and give way to some more intelligent,
liberal, enterprising citizen. Advertising
does pay, and every man who las any
sense at all knows it, though. some may
affect to believe differently, because they
are afraid it will cost them something.
