The cry of hard times which is 80 l,ersistently insisted upon is hot so mnch dependent upon scarcity of money as inability to furnish an equivalent for it's exchange. Money is very abundant and surprisingly cheap, but the margins for profits In specuIations are so meagre that pru, dent men are cautious about invoiv- ing their credit with entanglements they cannot readily shake of. Ex- travagant living has not only absorb
 ea the little cash belonging to the household, but has entrenched upon tue credit capital of individuals. and the.e is no remedy but rigid re tCeachment and the production oi commodities that will bring money. The cry of hard times will bring no relief. The only daylight that will break will come through retrench- ment m family expenses and well di- rccted industry ofproduction, --Ex.

 The Rev. C. Pope introduced Hon. E. Pays'n Porter, Statiscal Secretary of the International Sunday School Convention, Chicago, who delivered an address, full of stirring facts and telling figures. He said although d stranger here he felt greatly in love with our country, such beautiful hills and valleys, the large trees, and clear swift-running streams, and also the pop of the gun shooting deer, etc, in the wild forests, all of which is not seen in his home, as his country is prairie land, level and about all under cultivation, and wild game is not there. He never before saw cotton brought to town in wag- ons and sold, and was glad to see it, and the business shown here. He showed by map that every county in Illinois save one has we'll organ ized Sunday School system, and all denominations are working together in these organizations for one grand and glo.ious purpose, to have good Sunday Schools all over the State, and to teach the word of God to the rising generation in its purity.

THE TELEPHONE.
The Novelty of Talking to It.

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly says: When we begin to
use telephone for the first time there
is sense of oddity, almost Of foolish
ness, in the experiment. The dignity
of talking consists of having listen
er, and there seems kind of absurdi-
ty in addressing piece of iron, but
we must raise our respect for the met
al, for it is anything but deaf. The
diaphragm Of the telephone, the iron
plate, is as sensitive as the living tym.
panum to all the delicate refnements
of sound. Nor does it depend upon
the thlnness of the metallic sheet, for a
piece of thick boiler-plate will take up
and transmit thesmotions of the air
particles in all the grades of their sub
tility. And not only will it do the
same thing as the tympanum, but it
will do vastly more; the gross, dead
metal proves, in fact, to be hundred
times more alive than the living mech
anism of speech and addition. This is
no exaggeration. In qnickness, in ac-
curacy, and even in grasp. there is a
perfection of sensitive capacity in the
metal, with which the organic instru-
ment cannot compare. We speak of
the proverbial "quickuess of thought, y
but the telephone thinks quicker than
the nervous mechanism. Let n word
be pronounced for a person 10 repeat,
and the telephone evil hear aud speak
il hundred miles away in a tenth
part OF the time that the listener woald
need TO utter it. Give man a series
II half dezen notes to repeat, and he
cannot do it accurately TO save his
ife; bet the iron pia.e takes them up, |
them to another plate hun
ireds Of miles of. which sings them
orth insiautaneously with absolute
precision. Tie human machine can
lear, and reproduce, in its poor way, |
'nly single series Of notes, while the
ron car Of the telephone will take up
whole chords and trains of music, and.
ending them by lightning through
he wire, its iron tongue will emit
hem in perfect relations of harmony.

were famous for raising, such as tho
Fabii pea, Lentuli, Cicerones, etc.
These were the days OF Roman agri-
cultural glory. Cato says that when
they praised a good man they called
him an agriculturist and a husband
man, and 1t was considered a great
honor to be thus spoken OF. Cincin-
natus, who flourished 460 years be-
fore Christ, was the ploughman Of
his own four acres, and when the
Sammito ambassadors viSited Our
thus Dentatus, they found him at
work with his vegetables. Cato says:
Study to have q large dung hill; and
to this would add, treat yonr dumb
laborers as inferior brothers, de-
prived Of speech"
How important, then, that agricul-
ture should be fostered and encour-
aged: that the aged veterans Of the
plough should be honored for their
works sake, and the young taught to
respect and take pride in their call
ing. Te it's praise Virgil sang his
immortal Georges and Cato his
highest philosophy. Should not the
veterans OF agricultural literature
meet every encouragement in their
good work from grateful pcople?-
