Home and Farm.
Production.

The argument that would
restrict the production of grain
and provisions on account of
low prices, is fallacious. Moth
ing is so salable to-day, either
at home or abroad, as food for
man and beast. The most sue
cessful farmer will be he who
studies the markets and pro-
duces such crops as are most in
demand, he who secures the
greatest yield at the least cost,
he who strives by close econo-
mics of labor and expenditure
to restrict his OUTLAWS within his
income; and finally. success will
attend those who, determine to
be masters of their calling, who
call to their aid the advanced
! thought, method and investiga-
ton OF the times, and who bring
system and intelligence to bear
upon every branch of husban-
dry. The farming of the future
must be conducted on business
principles, with a thorough
knowledge of cost and market
values; while the profits must
be derived, not SO much from
increased prices, as from en-
larged production and improved
quality, with diminished cost.

Certainly not those who have
no plaeethey,can cah theil own
who depend for assistance on
daily wages, whose positions are
held by a hair. and who are la
bic to be sent adrift at any mo-
ment. 1t is not the man who
stands behind the counter and
depends. upon selling goods at
a profit to meet the debts daily
coming due. 1t is not the law
yer waiting for a client, the
minister waiting for a call, the
real estate. .spsculator waiting
for property to appreciate. 1t
is the man who lives on his own
farm and is out Of. debt, who is
truly independent. He knows
very little about stagnation of
business. 1t matters little to
him when the manufactures
stop running, or how much the
wages of laboring men are cut
down. His land viii bring him
the neeessaries Of life if he pro-
perly cultivates it, and he is abb
solutely independent of all the
ordinary influences that so af-
feet men in other occupations in
times like these.-Ex.

How She Caught Him.

The young man was evident
ly honest in his intentions, but
three years of constant counting
had failed to overcome his ex-
cessive bashfullness. They
were sitting in chairs at a re-
spectful distance apart. Said
the young man, haying spent
five minutes in search of a sub
ject:
How do you get along with
your cooking ?"
Nicely, replied the young
miss I'm improving wonder
fully; l can make splendid
cake now. !"
"Can your" said the young
man in a pleased manner.
What kind do you like best"
81 like one made with -four
and sugar and citron and rasins
and currants, and lots of those
things, and beautiful trosting on
top, responded the young
miss.
why, that's a wedding
cake, exclaimed the young
man, nerviously.
II meant wedding, said the
young miss, shyly.
They are published.

A Safe Ran.


The man who is scrupulously
polite and respectful to all wo-
men in public, but habitually
saves coarse manners and vul-
gar language for his own wife
and daughter, is no gentleman.
He is emily an imposter. The
young lhszA who oils his hair,
puts sweet odors upon his pock-
ct handkerchief, and bows with
charming elegance to Miss Ara
bella Spriggings and her lady
friends, and goes home to sheer
at his smother, disobey her
wishes, and treat her with, fla
miliar discourtesy, is a pinch
back imitation only of a gentle
man. Genuine good manners
and genfls breeding should be-
gin at hae As a rule, the

The bankers Of New York, acting In concert
with those Of other cities, have drawn, mp Fl
financial chart for the guidance Of the Secre-
tary Of TIE Treasury. The Secretary Of the
Treasury Is supposed to represent and serve
the people, instead Of the banks, though in
Vulnerable events have happened Of late years
of O nature to imply the contrary: those
bankers who participated in this action nave
evidently been led to infer that he is the ser
want Of Che money power. It was On imper-
thence to intrl1de upon the Treasury
Department with 81 long Winded dis,
QUESTION upon what they considered
right or wrong, and the matter Is offensive
In itself. It Is not q petition, but rather q
cartel, the object Of which, as appears super
fiCiaily. is to set forth the terms upon WhlGh
they propose to promote the efforts Of the
government In resurning specie payments
but the real object Of which is to nnhtheIna.
tie the silver dollar. II is advised that OIL
banks decline to accept standard dollars in
general deposits, and to refuse them in DO
nestle exchange. Thus it happens that the
lending bankers Of New York have had their ar
70 gauce eOinflnted Tint they propose TO set at
na1lght the legal tender laws Of the country
How can any bank take this course Without
placing itself in opposition to the authority OF
the nation The money power has eVldently
decided itself to be the dens &c m0chH10. AS
to the rest, this remarkable document cot1G-
