A Good Speech in Congress by
Hon. I'D. wyatt Aiken.

MIR. AIKEN-Mr. Speaker, since the
House has had the internal revenue bill
undcr consideration, moro than one mcmbor
has intimated in his remarks that there
were sections of the Union in which tho
people seemed to consider these revenue
laws so inimical to their interests, that they
assumed it privilege, if not duty, to
resist their enforcement. Of course these
insinuations cro SO many indirect assertions
that there still fingered disloyal sentiment
among the States of the South, which per-
vadcd the popular masses.
Sir, no impression could be more crrono
Gus. Perhaps the constituency of no mem.
ber upon this floor has been more frequently
accused, yes, and punished, too, for infrau.
tions Of these laws than those whom hayo
the honor to represent, and yet | assert
boldly that no section of the country is
populated by more, law-abding loyal
constituency than my own district.
But, sir, they arc loyal to the Govern
meot--both State and national and not to
the Republican party or those hirclings who
obey the behests of its ninions. | am
satisfied that if tho Administration could SEQ
those creatures who execute the revenue
laws 10 South Carolina as We SEQ them they
would repudiato them at first sight They
arc not worthy of afiliation even with the
Republican party. Who they arc or where
they came from few men seem to know or
care. Suffice to say they arc men of no
character and destitute Of every instinct of
an honest heart. And yet such mon arc
invariably chosen by the appointecs of tho
President to execute these netarious laws
among people upon whom thcy havo been
colonizcd. Remote from the appointing
power aud amenablc to men higher in au--
thority but of little moro character than
themselves, at leust in the lotter, they
throw aside evory legal restraint and
become law unto themselves, oftentimes
assaulting, robbing and numbering their op.

Agricultural Education.

To farm proftably one must think
correctly; and correct thought comes
from reflection and training. 1t is
the veriest folly to expect from the
recent graduate trained experience;
but we should ask for a trained mind
which can quickly receive the teach
ings of experience, and fit for profitable
uses.
We DO not ask, for our own part, for
our colleges to graduate practical farm
ers we but ask that they graduate
men educated to act from principles,
and to think correctly, and in whom
the charms of country life and the pos
sibilities of farming career have taken
root.
When farming, practical farming,
has the symPathiea of an educated
class of men, there is everything to be
hoped. When men trained to think,
and whose thoughts are trained to take
expression in action, enter upon the
arena of a farming lite, the possi6ilitie.
Of our soil and location are to become
developed to an extent little realized.
A class of educated farmers means
greater opportunities for the common
farmers whose education has been de
rived from toilsome experience and
the conflict of trials. 1t means better
and mora practical lectures, more use,
full agricultural societies, higher
toned agricultural press, the exclusion
of deadbeats from agricultural inAu-
enee, and a heal hier tone in agricult-
ure generally. Education brings self
respect, and self-respect draws TO itself
the respect of others.
This is our agricultural politics in a
nutshell. STt7,'ifc Errmer.

The Responsive Chord.

Rev. j. William Jones, in an adj
dress before the National Sunday
School Convention, Atlanta, Geor-
gia, related the following incident :
I'm the early spring of 1863, when
the Confederate and Federal armies
were confronting each other on the
opposite hills of Stafford and Spott-
sylvania, two bands CHANGED one
evening, at the same hour, to be-
gin to discourse sweet music on
either bank of the river. A large
crowd of soldiers of both armies
gathered to listen to the music. the
friendly piclSets not interfering, and
soon the bands began to answer
each other. First the band on the
northern bank would play Star
Sprangled Banner Hail Column
bia,' or some other national air.
and at its conclusion the boys in
blue would cheer most Justify.
And the band on the southern bank
wonld respond with Dixie or Bon
ny Blue Flag or some other South
ern melody, and the 'boys in gray
wonld attest their appreciation with
an odd Confederate Yell But pre-
sently one of the bands struck up
in sweet and plaintive notes which
were waited across the Rappahan-
nock-were caught up at once by
the other band and swelled into a
grand anthem which touched every
heart, Home, Sweet Home At
the conclusion of the piece, there
went up a simultaneous shout from
both sides of the river--cheer follow
ed cheer, and those hills, which had
SO recently resounded with hostile
guns, echoed and re-echoed the
glad acclaim. A chord had been
struck responsive to which the
hearts of enemies could beat In
unison; and on both sides of the
river.

THE DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBER.

One day last week, while sad and dreary.
As we wendell, weak and weary,
Across the unswept floor;
We heard, at first, gentle tapping,
Then Il became an earnest rapping
AT our sanctum door.
"cOme inl' We said whileyet he pOndersd,
And in silence we still wondered
What for us could be in store;
Then, the door-bolt gently turning,
In he walked. Our cheek was burning!
Thoughts Of crimson gore.
"Are you the man who does the writinyf"
what word will rhyme with this but fighting;
Quickly thought we, DER and o'er.l
"sir, we are" we gently told him,
NOdding the boys to hold him,
II he tried to beat us sore
"Then you'll please give me credit
Opposite that little debit,
For two dollars more;
like your paper, and will takeit
As long as you strive TO make il
As good as it has been before.
We jumped he lodged thus we missed him,
Or We should have surely kissed, him,
No matter if the boys did roar;
So seldom treated in this manner,
We felt inclined to sing hosanuahl
Only this and nothing more
