"HOme, Sweet Home"

They have become household words,
clothed in the sweetest melody that sing
er ever sang. Yet to how many these
words are only a mockery, and in how
many hearts there is no responsive chord
to their music.
The poet tells us that "some flowers of
Eden we still inherit; but the trail of
the serpent is over them ALL" The flow
ers of home are marked too often by the
trail of the serpent, temper. This is the
blight that robs our household roses of
their perfume and their bloom; this is
the great dark shadow that rests heavily
upon its pleasant places, and drives out
the golden sunshine. This it is that
mars the melody and produces only dis
cord; this it is that makes a place of
torture of what ought to be pure Eden
of happiness and peace.
Could we only take a look into all the
homes of earth, we would see how true
this is. 1t may be the fathers violen.
temper that produces the discordant
sounds which mar the music of home.
II may be the mothers scoldng tongue
that drops gall when it should drop only
honey. 1t may be the sons harsh words
and rude violence that sends its angry
clamor through the house; or it may be
the passionates of the willful daughter,
who forgets that ian excellent thing in
woman is a low voice"
The misery caused by this domestic
demon, temper, cannot be told. 1t breaks
up homes, drives asunder those God has
Joined, sends sons and daughters on q
weary pilgrimage through the world,
seeking peace and finding it not. Men
and women who have sworn before God
to love and stay with each other until
death parts them, are severed forever, I'M
mindful of their vows, by this serpent,
temper. Daughters and sons are very
often tempted to forsake their duties to
parents by this destroyer of home happi-
ness.
Read the divorce records if you wish
to see the misery that temper has caused
Look all over the world-you will see the
trail of this serpent, even to the very
gallows, where the poor culprit confesses
that through its promptngs he commit
ted the deed that brought him there.
Home can never be "sweet home" until
peace prevails and not until the demon
temper is rooted out of its every nook
and corner can we truly call it "home,
sweet home" God "setteth the solitary
together in families" not to make dis
cord, but to help and cheer; not to crush
all the flowers of joy, but to tend and ex-
pand them into greater beauty, richer
fragrance. Happier than any shining
palace is that home over which nestles
lovingly, with white wings outspread,
the beautiful Angel of Peace; for beneath
the shadow Of its pinions only can home
really be ''sweet, sweet home"

CALIFORNIA NEws-Our San francisco
correspon ndent, writing June 30, states
that the cost of the California constitu-
tional revision is estimated at $500, 600,
which alarms taxpayers. On close count
the workiDgmen's party, though having
a large plurality. will not have majority
in the convention. Immigrants arrive
in han Francisco in unusual mum bers.
Land monopoly is alarmed at the certai n

rust has considerably diminished the
value of the wheat crop. Oft thirty ma

1t Is q sign of reduced metal product for
two years to come. Mines can hardly be
given away, not because they will not pay
but because silver stock-gamb bling has
taken away the bottom dollar from every
man of enterprise.

OUR PATENT LAws.-There is fire.
quent complaint Of injustice done those
having patents as well as those claiming
patents, through the patent laws, and
those having control of the patent office.
But we need not look beyond Congress
itself for cause of complaint. 1t is notori-
ous that in this department, Congress is
as careless and heartless of the interests
Of the mass of the people, as it is in the
high protective tariffs that are made es-
pecially to make the poor poorer, and the
rich richer. Last year the farmer got
$l.oO for his wheat now he can get but
50 cents to 80 cents. But he has to be
submissive to the laws that confines his
wheat to his barns, rather than let it
60 to Europe, where it would bring a
higher price in gold; or where bushel of
wheat would pay for yard of cloth that
would cost him 50 here; or 10 bushels
would buy him good suit of clothes,
that would cost him $40 here; and all
other necessaries in like proportion.-
He could exchange his wheat for iron for
instance on an average Of about one-half
what it costs here. Were iron as low as
in Europe two iron ships would be built
here where there is now one built. There
is a scandalcus injustice in our laws to-
wards our farmers and laboring people,
which works mischief to all. The con-
dition of Fall River is a sample of what
these laws favoring monopolies and char
tered companies and stock. speculations
produce. In 1646 the times had been
terrible; the tariff was reduced, and the
sale Of the farm products abroad brought
enough money in the country, to set the
wheels of active trade in motion; to
carry on . successful war and buy and
pay for an empire, and also enough to
send tens Of thousands of men to Cali
fornia to dig gold by the bushel; the gold
however did nes come in to. enrich the
country for ten years afterward. The
calculations of the peroid showed that
the first years of mining cost the country
far more than the gold was worth. With
the tariff as with the Patent laws Con.
gress seems to try how far it can get from
the maxim of the great and the good ole
man who said, "Let the blessings of gov
eminent like the dews of heaven fal
alike upon the rich and the poor.n Alas
how this is violated; how hard and toll
some has been the life of thousand. an,

who have toiled on and on with tba;

RAPdCIOUS st. PAIL.

Added to this, the notorious rapacity
of the hotel keepers III st. Paul, who
failed to keep rooms that had been Ell
gagged and paid for. when the general
aim of the whole city to Ego for" all Il
man had for the least consideration, so
filed up the general evaporation, rs to
foment the ill-Will Of nearly every per-
son who visited the falsely named city
of Saints. And whatever discreGit and
failure Shall rest hereafter upon a State
fair at st. Paul, will be due to the avar-
ice and over-reaching propensity af Il
great portion of it's own citizens. The
remark is universal that st. Paul is in
tirely incapable of properly entertain
ing any large crowd. a little coterie
of swells is her delight; the multitu.les
are always made her victims. But
Minneapolis exhibits democratic
heart and big soul. Size can feed and
lodge the multitude without robbing
them, and takes pleasure in giving
satisfaction to her guests. 'Ihey ae
entirely different people, " is the general
remark, and it now seems probable that
the future success Of our State fairs will
depend very much upon their location.
In any further contest as between the
two cities, it is very clear in what direc-
ton the great mass of orr people will
swarm. St. Paul had it's opportunity
and has abused it. She won't have the
privilege again very soon.-Farmington

Farmers are now threshing. Oats

and is now safe from frost and grass
hoppers. Wheat is not turning out we'll.
Messrs. P:,rsllall & Walling are run
Ming thresler and say the wheat will
average about 7 bushels.
Grasshopper eggs have been laid here,
but our farmers are blowing and pre-
pairing to put in every acre. Within
the past few days farmers have exam
ined their breaking and say that where
week ago they found a great many
eggs, now they find scarcely any. The
grubs. the birds and the bad eggs -
lave finished them.
r. New nan and sons are preparing to
put III 12O acres next season. They
have raised this year Il splendid crop of
corn. Mr.. Newman says he never saw
finer corn anywhere than some he has
raised here this year.

Ed. Fields last spring purchased two
bushels Of rye of s. jenkins and sowed
it on an acre of ground. Recently lie
threshed the rye which turned out Is
bushels. This yield is enormous. Who
can equal it? Mr.. F's. flax went 1G
bushels to the acre.
F. Promo has threshed some of his
wheat, and the yield is about Is bushels
to the ace of good No. ? wheat, a part
OF which was sold to the Ok:bena Mills
ut 75c Per bushel.
W. Farager has threshetl his oats and
the yield WAS 600 bushels from II acres,
or 50 bushels to the acre. These oats
were moWn and stacked loose.
Thos. Bostic is running one thresher
and Mcssrs. Quine and Faragler an
other. Thresl,ing has just begun and
We predict that farmers will feel better
after thresll.ng.
Farmers were somewhat annoyed at
first by the grasshoppers which appear
ca to he laying eggs. An examination
of the ground shows that where ut first
there seemed to be plenty of eggs none
are now to he found.
Farmers are encouraged and are pre-
pairing to put III every acre possible next
year.
