A Far Travel led Tel eg ram.

A remarkable instance Of the value
of the telegraph in abridging time and
space and enabling many nations to
Join in being useful to each other has
been brought under notice in America.
A resident in Auburn, N. Y, wished to
communicate with person in Sydney,
New South Wales, and sent him tele-
gram, on which sixty dollars was
charged. Let the reader take a globe
or map and trace the following route.
To reach its destination 1t had to ira
erse the Atlantic, Europe, Asia and
the Eastern Archipelago; passing over
about two hundred and fifty degrees of
longitude and about ninety degrees of
latitude. 1t passed through the United
States, Newfoundland, Ireland, Eng
land, Germany. Russia European and
Asiatic,) reaching Wladiwodstock, in
what Is termed the ''third region" of
Siberia. Passing thence, the message
next traversed the Yellow Sea to SLang
hal, passing through Nagasaki in ia,
pan en- route, and subsequently by the
submarine cables, touching at various
points; finally starting from Bangowan-
ji-, the terminal point in Java, for Port
Darwin in Australia, and so to
its destination. The journey would
exceed twenty thousand miles, being
nearly equal to the earth's circumfer-
eDce, and almost double the direct dis
lance between the points, had a west
ward route been open.

Two Ways Of Doing Business.

Deacon H., Of R., was in his wood lot
busily engaged in preparing load for
market. On the other side Of low
fence his neighmr s., was also loading
for the same market. s. paused in his
work and watched the deacon for a
while, and then exclaimed: Deacon,
you are n fool in being so precise with
your load. You are altogether too par
ticular. What is the use Of packing so
closely, rejecting so carefully every
small and crooked stick, and every one
which wants a single inch of the re-
quired lengthY Look at my load; it
does not contain near as much as
yours, though it will measure well, and
will sell as readily as yours, with a
considerably larger profit. The deacon
simply answered: 'fou may do bust
ness in your way; will do II in mine.
They both drove to neighboring
city and waited in the market place tor
customers. s. was fortunate enough to
find customer without much delay,
while many hours passed before tn"
deacon could dispose Of his load. Upon
his return late at night, his neighbor,
who had been at home long while,
said to him: 4 said you we're fuol,
and was not rights sold my wood
for the same price you did, and besides
\ larger profit, lhave saved much time.
The reply was you may do business in
your way; Twill do il In mine
Several weeks passed. Deacon H. and
his neighbor were again with their
loaded teams in the city, where they
had been many times for market for
their wood. The deacon was met by a
wealthy merchant Of the city, who said
to him, Take your load at once to my
yard; you need not stop to have it
measured; and do the same with every
load you bring, ard will gladly pay
your price,
That night deacon H. was early al
home. Late in the evening S. arrived
with his ood unsold. How was it.
he said, that you found such a ready
sale to-day, while could not dispose
of my wood at any pricef'
You do business in yonr way, and ]
do 1t in mine. Who is the fool?' said
the deacon. ,..t .ra. ....... .r

The Yellow Fever.

Only three new cases of yellow fever
and eight deaths we're reported in New
Orleans on Saturday, and the Board of
Health resolved that the epidemic was
at an end and advised its President to
request the Governor to withdraw his
quarantine proclamation. The resolu-
ton was passed net to induce people to
return to the city, but merely to have
the inland embargo raised. 1t is not
yet safe for ahsrntees to return. In
Memphis deaths from fever were re-
ported. Seven new cases were reported
in Jackson, one death in Vicksburg
and 2 new cases in Chattanooga. All
restrictions on trade and travel with
New Orleans, Memphis and other points
have been removed.
The deaths from yellow fever at New
Orleans and Memphis yesterday were
less than dozen, and the new cases
were diminished in proportion, although
the weather was warmer. At Chatta.
nooga there were neither deaths or new
cases. The general feeling is more cheer.
full as the pestilence disappears, and
the signs of reviving business continue
at all points in the infected districts.

Too Polite.

This from Grand Rapids. Michi-
igan: An elderly, prim, specialized
spinster recently took passenger
train at Chester station, on the
Grand River Valley railroad. The
car was nearly filed. The first sit
ting she glanced at was more than
half occupied by a young man who
had expectorated tobacco juice
within his territory until the bot
tom of the car was q puddle. The
spinster lectured him severely
on the evils of habit so in
furious and filthy, and hoped there
after he would abandon it. The
young man made no reply. Two
seats in front was seat partly oc-
cupied by young man who was
gazing from the window. The spin
ster resting her bundles upon the
seat arm, peered down upon the
floor to detect possible traces of the
weed; after which, in strident tones,
she said, 81 say, young man, do yOU

Character Formed by Habit.

The law:of habit is an eternal GER
tainty. Isolated actions frequently
repeated form habit; habit persisted
in creates character. 1t is physio-
logically true that your brain is
formed by your brain action; your
muscles by your muscular action !;
and it is as certain that your soul is
formed by your soul action. We
grow as trees grow the bark of
last year becomes the woody fibre
of this; the outward habit of last
year becomes the inward character
of this. Giving makes a generous
character; Withholding a selfish one.
So, every year, change grows more
and more difficult. 1t is easy to
train the vine in the spring. diff
cult in the summer, impossible in
the fall. 1t is as easy to train a
child for Christ as for the devil, and
a great deal pleasanter; but if he is
trained for the devil till he gets to
his teens, only a revolution sets him
free. 1t is an eternal certainty that
every year of deliberate wrong-do-
ing makes.the change TO right being
more difficult H. w. Beecher.

4 Revival in Farming.

That a rivival is going on in all
that relates to agricultural interests
is plain enough to the most ordina-
ry comprehension. The success of
the farming occupation, but espe-
cially its reliance for man, is on
almost all tongues. The great
crops of the season just passed have
come forward to prove the value of
this occupation as it never has be
fore been demonstrated in this
country. Men are at least con-
WINGED that agriculture is at the bot
tom Of our national prosperity. They
comprehend in an entirely new way
how branches of business depend
on it. But for the years crops,
says the Massachusetts Ploughman,
we might still have waited, as we
have waited,tor the last four years,
for a start in trades and manufac-
lures. Any person can now see
that 1t would have been imrosi
bic to do anything whatever if farm
ing had not put its long and power
full lever under and priced the coun
try out of the rut in which it was
set.

Female Society.

You know my opinion of female
society. Without it we should de
generate into brutes. This obser
walton applies with tenfold force to
young men and those who are in
the prime of manhood. For, after
certain time of life, the literary
man may make shift "a poor one,
/ grant) to do without the society
of ladies. To young man moth
ing is so important as a spirit of de-
votion, next to his Creator, to some
amiable woman, whose image may
occupy his heart and guard it from
pollution, which besets it on all
sides. A man ought to choose his
wife, as Mrs. Primrose aid her wed
ding gown, for qualities that swear
we'll" One thing, at least, is true,
that if matrimony has its cares, Gel
ibacy has no pleasures. A Newton
or mere scholar may find employ
ment ip study; a man of literary
taste can receive in books a power
full auxiliary; but man must have
a bosom friend and children round
him to cherish and support the
dreariness of old age John Ran

An Outraged Father.

Old man Lord, who at the age Of
eighty three or four, married the
gay and dashing Mrs. Hicks, of
half that age, in New York, the 9th
er day,is said to be worth sS,00O,0O0,
and as he isinot as young and stout as
he used to be, and may drop of at
any moment, Mrs Lord may be
happy yet. But, then, again she
may not. Which reminds the Cou
rier Journal, that once upon a time,
a Connecticut girl married just such
another wealthy old BOBBY, of some
seventy years old, confident that he
would do her the kindness to die in
a few years and leave her a rich
young widow. But she was fooled.
In the whole of his superannuated
anatomy there was not one solitary
bowel of compassion for his wife,
who nursed him for thirty odd
years, and then died at the age of
sixty, leaving him a widower up
ward of hundred years old. New
er since the world began was a more
disgusting fraud practiced upon a
poor, unsuspecting girl. 1t is no
wonder that her venerable father,
then nearly a hundred himself,
threatened the old scoundrel to his
face that if he ever treated another
of his daughters in that way he
would wear him out against the
ground, If it took him twenty years

The Read to Ruin.

When Charles and Mary began
their married life, it was under the
most hopeful and suspicious cir
cumstances; for the brides father
gave her a good farm, while Charles
equally indulgent parent stocked it
generously. They had all they
NEEDED, and commenced life just
where their fathers left off; instead
of living within their income, they
bought all they wanted. Their
credit was good. The farm was
neglected; the crops but half tend
ed. They attended the balls, pic
mics, parties, etc, to The utter
neglect of their duty. Both were
fine dancers, fond of the gayeties
of society, and bound to keep up APP
pearances even if the farm did not
pay. At the end of the first year
they found themselves deeply In

farm, go TO town and set up a
store; evidently they were not in
tended for farm life. They went
to town, where they had to pay
house rent and had everything to
buy. They laid in their goods and
rented a storehouse at a high price.
Charles must have clerk. of
course at forty dollars per month.
He must dress with the fashion.
His wife must throw away all her
old clothes and buy new and fash
ionable dresses. They still attend
ed parties and picnics, and strained
every nerve to keep up appearan
ces, but the inevitable end of such
a beginning came at last. Debt af-
ter debt was contracted, until bank
ruptcy stared them in the face.
They sold out their stock, and went
back to their old country home, de
pendent upon the charity of their
grieved and disappointed parents.
A short career and a merry; but it
is it an enyiable one?

Gardeners, Attention.

Now is the time to commence
preparing your ground for early
vegetables. Wheel out what man.
ure you have, or can get, and have
it spaded or plowed under. If you
have not planted out your onion
crop yet you should do so as early
as possible-the potato variety is
the best. Garden peas can be
planted now, as the frost cannot ir
jure them-Vick, the great garden
er and seed grower, at Rochester,
New York, says they should be
planted at least four inches deep
the Fairly Kent is the best variety
for early yield. Early Irish pota

Farm and Home.
The Jersey and shogthorn Cross.

In a paper read before the Calf
fornia dairymen' s society, at one of
their late meetings. Mr.. R. G. Sheath
eaid he had some fifty head Of
Shorthorn cattle on his farm, young
and old, and was using Jersey bulls
exclusively for crossing. He ex
pected to raise about one hundred
head Of half breed Jersey heifer
calves annually, until he could de-
termine positively the wisdom of
the plan. So far, the hall breeds
that have come into milk have prov
en- very satisfactory. The Jerseys
give about the same quantity of
milk as the average American COW
but much richer. They require less
feed and no more care. He said it
was a question with many whether
to breed for beef, or for milk and
butter. He pursued a middle
course and was breeding for both,
as the the common grade stock
crossed with the Jersey, increases
the size of the latter, and makes
good beef; while the rich milking
qualities of the former are vastly
improved.

Combine the Two.

A correspondent writes: Il think
the most profitable way to manage
a farm is to combine dairying with
pig-raising. Make a number one
article Of butter, and you can get a
yearly contract for it at a good
price, and then keep sows of the
best breed you, can get and raise
two filters of pigs each year; with
the sour milk you can make the
yigs grow rapidly. The practice of
most farmers (and my own for many
years. is to breed the young sows
in the spring and then fatten them,
but get better pigs from mature
sows, and l find that little extra
care will make fine hogs of Septem
Der and October pigs. The last two
years my fall pigs have done better
and have been quite as profitable as
the spring filters. 1 think 1 can
make my pork cheaper by having
rye for early pasture, and then clio
yer for the summer"

Good and Neat Farming not Synony-
nous.


Many no doubt regard the terms
neat and good, when applied to
farming, as meaning the same, but
a few moments reflection will con-
vince them o: their error. A good
farmer may not be neat one, a
neat one may not he a good one in
a practical sense of the tenn. Neat
farming is only question OF the
investment of capital without refer
ence to direct profit, while good
farming in the common acceptation
of the term keeps early profit al
ways in view A good farmer is
one who obtains the largest posi-
bic income from his soil without
diminishing its productive capacity
he produces such crops and keeps
such stock as are best adapted to
his land; he adopts judicious 70
tation of crops, cuitivates them
well, makes and husbands all the
manure possible, buys all the phos-
phate, plaster, or additional food
for his stock that wise economy
will justify, and sells his products
in such forms as will bring in the
largest income from tho least posi-
BILE cost. The Rural Ae1O Yorker
says of such a farmer;
I'VE recollect the remark of an
old man, when we were a boy of
eight or nine years, that it takes
something of a sloven to make
money at farming, and if making
money is the sole end of farming,
perhaps neatness would be unad
visable. But there are men who
honestly believe that man is of
more importance than money, and
that a mans life is greater than his
business or profession. That
man may meet all his business obi
cations, feed and clothe his family,
leave them a good property after he
is gone, and even instruct them by
precept and example, in the duties
of a moral and religious life, and
yet fail in his duty to his family
and to society. The farmer owes
to that love of order, of
beauty which benignant Greater
has implanted in mans nature, and
the qualification of which is as nee
essary to his full and symmetrical
as the qualification of
any other want or faculty Of his ma
ture. The farmer is in duty bound
to do what he can toward making
his home lovely for The sake of bis
family, aud his portion Of the rural
landscape beautiful for the sake o.
his neighbors and the public at
large.
