Tht farm ana 9irtsidt.
SMALL FARMS,

In the FIRST period of the Roman govern
ment, seven acres Of land was regarded a
farm. Many of the principal men did not
have so much. Cincinnatus had only four
acres. This farm was cultivated by the own
or himself. On more than one occasion, Gin
cinnatus was called to leave his plow and take
charge of the affairs Of the nation. The ma
jority of the early senators of Rome were
farmers-not the owners Of large farms, which
they had cultivated for theirlbene6t : but the
owners of seven acres, which they cultivated
with their own hands. When our fathers
came to America, notwithstanding the fact
that land was plenty and free, they laid claim
to only small quantity. In Rome, men
grew rich and avaricious and enlarged their
farms. In America, the same thing has taken
place. The days of small farms was,the gold
en- period in Rome's history. Then there was
little luxury and little corruption. As men
grew rich and extended their possessions, lug
ury and political corruption invaded the land.
Some of the citizens became vastly rich,
whilst others became most .miserably poor.
Such must ever be the result of increasing
farms beyond a certain limit. 1t forces Etbe
owner either to leave his farm and 60 to a
town or city, for the sake Of society, or re-
main on his farm surrounded BY persons 80
poor that they cannot be social. = a,3i ~
In our country, at the present time, large
farms are not profitable, whilst small farms
are. There is no difficulty'in accounting for
this. The labor of the country is, uncontrol-
able. The foolish notion has taken possession
of the laboring class of this country, that labor
must control capital. Until this absurd .po,
ton is worked out of the mind Of the labor
ing class of this, country, the labor of the
country will be next thing to worthless, Sit
uated as the people of the South are, it lis
manifestly the duty of the land-holders to
curtail their expenses This they can do
best by contracting their farming operations.
This will have one of two results, or possibly
both. 1t will bring the present laborers in
the country to their senses, and they. will
either 90 to work in earnest or sleavs the
country. If no favorable change is produced
upon the present laboring class; other labor.
ers will eventually come into the county
who will make citizens in the proper sense
of the word. .aTs>f93

A WESTERN LANDLoRD.-A gentleman
and lady were travelling in Michigan, and
having missed the stage, were compelled to
take private conveyance from the town OF
Scuderi to Thomastown.
The lady had with her beautiful lap dog,
which she carried in her lap on an embroider-
ed mat. During the ride, the husband dis
covered that he had no handkerchief, when
the lady lent him hers, which was fashionably
scented with musk.
About half way between the two towns, the
carriage broke down, in the midst Of hard
rain, and they we're obliged to take refuge in
the halfway house-a "one-horse" log tavern,
consisting of two rooms-a bar room, and
lodging-room.
The lady laid her lap.dog on its mat before
the fire, and herself and husband took seats.
In short time the gentleman had occasion to
use his handkerchief, and took it out, leaving
it Oh his knee when he got through with it.
In few moments the landlord opened the
door, put his head in, looked around went
out, came in, gazed at the dog-his nostrils all
the time upturned in intense disgust.
He finally appeared satisfied, went to the
outside door, opened it, came back with a
bound, seized the lap-dog by the tail, and
hurled him bowling through the open door
full ten rods into the forest
The wife tainted the husband rose to his
feet, terribly enraged, and wanted to know
what he did that for.
"That's my dog" continued he, furiously.
'Don't care cuss whose dog it is," said
the man, grufly and impetously; Il amt 60
ing to have no such blasted smelling varmint
around my tavern"
The husband and wife vacated the house
instantly, and proceeded on their way in the
rain.

In the human mind there is something that
is contradictory We attempt to do what we
know we cannot do, and we will not attempt
to do what is known to be within the range of
human capability. This is not all. The hu.
man family, led by curiosity which is dis
pleasing in the sight of God, are constantly
prying into things that are:beyond the: reach
of the human mind, and at the same time
neglecting to learn those things that can be
learned. There are some things we ought not
to try to know. God never designed that We
should know them. Wisely, God has re-
vealed to us neither the joys nor the sorrows
that await US in this world. The day Of our
death is kepta profound secret. Z EI;i.t1tf
Manifestly, it is a good thing that many
things are: locked up in the mind of God.
Did every one know, with certainty, every
thing pertaining to the future, this world
would present spectacle exceedingly sorrow.
full Some would spend their daysin in contin.
ual sorrow on account Of approaching evil.
In fact, perfect knowledge Of the future would
be terrible calamity. This world would be
as destitute Of Joy as an iceberg is Of heat.
>Eseuf thdse forsMhom brightdays arain store,
would have those bright days turned into
days of gloom ana Sadness by the knowledge
of the fact that others, in whom they were
deeply interested, were destined to spend their
days in misery and end their earthly career
in disgrace. All that God designs we should
know concerning the future, be allows us to
learn from his wUrd and providence Like
causes, under similar circumstances, always
produce the same effects. 1t is sin to con.
suit those old hags that claim for themselves
the power to tell what will take place in the
future, 1t is not only sin against God, but
it is shame to humanity. We make our
selves contemplate when we try to discover
the secret. things of God, by, consulting these
modern necromancers. Whenever we find
ourselves tempted to have our future laid open
before US, by any created being we may be
sure that we give all sensible people evidence
of our inbecility, if not Of our corrupt heart:

THE PRICE OF JESUS.

In the gospel by Matthew, it is stated that
the price which the chief priests agreed to
give Judas Iscariot, for delivering Jesus into
their hands, was thirty pieces of. silver.
Mark says that the chief priests "promised"
Judas money. Luke, that they "covenanted"
to give him money. Neither Mark nor Luke
specify the particular. sum agreed upon.
John makes no mention of the fact. Mark
and Luke mention the fact and Matthew speci-
6es the particular amount. If we conclude
that the thirty pieces Of money we're Jewish
money, then we may conclude they were
shekles of the sanctuary. Each one Of these
was worth about sixty cents. The whole
would be worth about eighteen dollars. Un-
der the Mosaic law, this was the price fixed
upon servant that was gored to death by an
OK. See Exodus xxi 30.
It would be difficult to say what particular
trait of character it was that led Judas to do
this vile act. No doubt he loved money, and
it is almost certain that this money which he
received was stolen out of the sanctuary by
the priests. The whole transaction was as
miserably mean as it was heinously wicked.
Both Judas and the priests must have been
groveling creatures. ..as
After Judas received the money and Jesus
was betrayed, the money became source Of
-sonl:pa;;z1 70 the traitor. He brings it back
to the priests, and as they had, no doubt, stole
it, in order to keep the whole transaction in
the dark, they determined to purchase, with
the money, burial place for strangers. The
devil got both Judas and the priests in tight
place. Theirsown iniquities found them out
The whole transaction, from beginning to end,
was devil-concerted plan to put an end to
Jesus Christ So. -. 4
It is,remarkable that Matthew tells US that
this Was prophesied by Jeremiah. No such
prophecy is found in Jeremiah, but the; sub
stance of Sit is found in Zechariah, xi: IL, l3.
It is highly probable that the prediction was
first made BY Jeremiah and then repeated by
Zechariah: 1t was recorded in the prophecies
hthe latter, and not in the former. % = =
hjs vile transaction between the priests
Rs, serves to demonstrate Jesus Christ
niaed re1eemer. It also gives US
Hthe human heart. What
