VALUE OF A FARM.

The value Of farm depends largely
upon the knowledge and capacity of its
owner; hence in no way can its prOduc-
tiveness be better improved than by in
creasing the stock of practical infOrma-
ton within the control of its proprietor.
The difference in the market value of
farms Of similar character in the same
section Of country is well known to all,
and yet while nature originally did the
same for many of them, the varied capac-
ity of the cultivators has wrought out
results equally varied.
A sand bank in the hands of some
men produces better results than the
finest fields under the management of
shiftless ignorant hands. In the control
Of one who lacks experience and infor-
nation, the best part Of his farm may
be devoted to pasture or growth of wood,
while the poorest fields are set apart for
producing low yields of wheat, oats or
corn. A muck bed is valueless to one
ignorant Of its use wet meadow is a
nuisance to him who hesitates to drain
It; many bog, worthless to original
owners, has, through the exercise of skill
and knowledge, been converted into a
profitable cranberry meadow. Cows,
whose low yield of milk, or steers, whose
low growth render their keeping posi-
tive loss, would be consigned to the
butcher by the thrifty farmer who un-
derstood his business.
Herein lies the great inducement for
increased knowledge. Finest tools are
unavailable to him who is ignorant of
their proper use. Some one in every
neighborhood is acknowledged to be the
best farmer; some individual raises the
best crops, another the finest cattle, and
third produces the most superior but
ter. How do they accomplish it? They
enjoy no monopoly of culture. Nature
has no secrets from those who seek earn
estly and diligently to know her ways.
Yet the investigating, experimenting,
thoughtful cultivators from the minority
in every community, and if through the
medium of grange clubs and farmers
clubs these valuable experiences can be
utilized in leaving the whole mass, q
great advance in agricultural progress
may be expected.
When the ambition of every farmer il
aroused, by earnest endeavor to emulat,
the example and conduct of the bes
farmers in the vicinity, then an improve
ment in the average may be counted
upon, that shall largely increase th,
profits of agriculture and the value o.
every farm in the country. No elemen
in this advance can equal the influences
of cooperative associations, whose ain
and object is the bringing the farmer
together for mutual counsels, discussion
and Investigations, for improving tn
condition and Identifying the calling o
the agriculturists Of the land.-Ame7i

AN HONORABLE COURTsHlP.

We heard very pretty little incident
the other day, we cannot help relating.
A young lady from the South, it seems.
was wooed and won by youthful physi-
clan living in California. When the
engagement was made the doctor was
rich, having been very successful at
San Francisco. 1t had not existed six
months, however, when. by an unfortu-
nate investment, he lost his entire cheap"
This event came upon him, it should
be added, just as he was about to claim
his bride. What does he do? Why,
like an honorable and chivalrous
young fellow as he is, he sits down and
writes the lady every particular of the
unhappy turn which has taken place in
his fortunes, assuring her that if the
fact produces any change in her feelings
toward him, she is released from every
promise she has made him. And what
does the dear good girl do? Why, she
takes lump of pure gold, which her
lover has sent her in his prosperity as a
keepsake and having it manufactured
into ring, forwards 1t to him, with
the following bible inscription engraved
in distinct character on the outside
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to re.
turn from following after thee; fol
whittier thou goest will 1 go, and with
er thou lodgest will lodge; thy people
will be my people, and thy God my
God where thou diest will l die; and
there will be buried; the Lord do SC
to me, and more also, if aught but death
part me and thee" The lover idolized
his sweetheart more than ever when he
received this precious evidence of hel
devotion to him both to him in storm
and sunshine. We may add that fortune
soon again smiled upon the young ply.
stefan, and that he subsequently return
ed to the North to wed the sweet girl h
loved, and who loved him with such un
dying affection. Reader, this is al
true. Young ladies who read the bible
as closely as the heroine of this inciden
seems to have done, are pretty sure t.
make good sweethearts, and better wives

TEMPERANCE ANECDOTE.

Judge Bay, the temperance lecturer,
in one of his efforts, got off the follow
ing:
"All of those who in youth acquire
habit of drinking whisky, at forty years
of age will be total abstainers or drunk
ards. No one can use whisky for years
in moderation. If there is person in
this audience whose own experience dis
putes this, let him make it known, /
will account for it, or acknowledge that
am mistaken
A tall man rose, and folding his arms
in dignifed manner across his breast,
said
81 offer myself as one whose own ex-
pcrience contradicts your statement"
"You are moderate drinker ~ said
the judge.
II am"
"How long have you drank in moder-
alton ?''
Forty years"
"And never was intoxicated ?''
Never"
"Well," remarked the judge, scan
ming his subject closely from head to
foot, 'yours is singular case yet l
think it is easily accounted for. l am
reminded by it of little story "A COL
ored man, with loaf of bread and a
flask of whisky, sat down to dine by the
bank of clear stream. In breaking the
bread some of the crumbs dropped into
the water. These were easily seized and
eaten by the fish. That circumstance
suggested to the darkey the idea of Dip
ping the bread in the whisky and feed
ing it TO them He tried it. 1t worked
we'll. Some of the fish ate it, became
drunk and hoated helplessly on the wa
ter. In this way he easily caught a great
number. But in the stream was a large
fish very unlike the rest. 1t partook
freely of the bread and whisky, but with
no perceptible effect. 1t was shy of ev.
cry effort of the darkey to take it He
resolved to have it at all hazards, thai
he might learn its name and nature. He
procured net and after much effort
caught it and carried it to a coloreC
neighbor, and asked his opinion on The
matter. The other surveyed the wonder
moment, and then said: 'Sambo,
Understand this case. Dat fish is a null

other words" added the judge. "alcoho
affects only the bra in; and. of course
those having none may drink withou
injury !" The storm of laughter tina
followed drove the moderate drinke
from the house.

WHICH IS BEST p Prince Gortscha-
koff, the Russian Premier, never uses
wine or tobacco, and is vigorous at the
age of rs. DIR. Cuyler said recently,
that he had preached for thirty years,
and had only lost two Sabbath during
that time by ill health. He attributed
this to his having kept these rules: Use
no stimulants, take abundant sleep, new
er touch a sermon on Saturday night.
Edward Allen Poe was drunkard, and
died at 3S. Lord Byron was drunk
ard, and died at SO. Sheridan, the great
dramatist and statesman, died from
drink and consequent debt. An officer
arrested the dying man in his bed, and
would have thrown him into prison but
for the threatened prosecution of bis
physician. A short time before dying
he wrote to friend, "They are going
to put the carpets out of the window,
and break into Mrs Sheridan's room
and take me-" Charles Lamb suffered
all the horrors of drunkenness. History

Is FARMING A GOOD BUSINESS 7

This is a question which many young
men have long been asking. The strin-
gency Of the times, and vast number now
thrown out Of work have caused the in
quiry to become still more frequent, and
to be made with increasing emphasis.
Farming has the same requisite as
every other business to make it good /;
that is, it must be we'll followed. No
neglected business is good. There is no
kind Of business which will enable one
to step easily and at once into fortune.
Industry, prudence and self-sacri6ce are
the unalterable conditions of success in
all undertakings.
Farming offers certain advantages and
is attended by certain drawbacks. We
will mention some of each.
So far as health is concerned farming
affords abundant exercise. This is one
Of its strongest recommendations; for
what is wealth, what even is life, with
out health
To a person fond of natural history
and familiar with the elementary princi.
pies of some Of its branches, a farm
affords q desirable opportunity for the
cultivation of scientific knowledge. And
if ones tastes run that way there il
great delight in flowers and trees ant
animal life.
As means Of acquiring money farm
ing is slow at first and is never yer,
rapid. An independence and compe
tency may be secured with considera
bic degree Of certainty; but if yOunl
man has an ambition to achieve larg
fortune he is not likely to achieve it b
farming. .sf tlAAlA.a sg
Experience is requisite to success il
this as well as in every other pursuit
1t is quite common notion that anyon
can manage farm; but this is a gram
mistake. Any young man who contem
plates taking up government land an
occupying it, and who has never live
on farm will act wisely to first engag
himself for year with practical farm
er. thus acquiring not only year
tuition in the business be is to follow
but whatever sum he can save out of hi
wages as a much needed capital.

Fire in West Pawlet.

About midnight (Monday IA inst, our
citizens were alarmed by the unwonted cry
of FIRE. Upon gaining the street the large
barn belonging to G. w. Beecher, hardware
and tin merchant was seen to be in flames.
The fire when discovered had made so much
progress that it was impossible to save the
barn, but happily there was no wind, and
by the use Of such preventative means as
were on hand the free drenehing of roofs and
sides of hou ca the fire was confined to the
barn. The barn and contents were estima-
ted to be worth some $17O0, of which one
thousand was covered by Insurance. At
one time the sheds of the Baptist church,
were seen to have taken fire from floating
cinders, but 1t was speedily extinguished |;
no other buildings were injured. The fire
must have originated by accident or design
from some tramps or night walker, who
for some reason took out q sleigh which
was thus saved from being burned.

The Debris of the system

Must either pass through Its natural channels
of exit, the bowels, the kidneys and the pores
or, in default thereof, poison and disorder the
fluids OF the system. In order TO eject the
complete expulsion of this dangerous refuse,
the ,organs through which 1t passes on must
be active and unobstructed. Fortunately
there is a certain means of rendering them so
when they are not. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters stimulate the action of the excretory
organs. and by dlfusing a genial warmth
through the circulation. encourage moderate
prespiration. By this triple erect the exodus
OF the focal and other waste matters are en-
couraged, and the system freed from peril 1t
would otherwise incur. The action OF u Q
bowels which follows the use OF this benencent
alternative Ia easy and unacoompanled by
