Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
Justice to the Farmer.

There are very few farmers who
will not appreciate the following
tribute to their profession. delivered
by Judge Farrar, at the fair of
Amelia county, Va:
"The term 'Clodhopper' will soon
cease to be a word of reproach.-
Why should not the farmer be the
first and foremost-the peer of the
highest? His manner of life makes
him independent, tolerant and hap
py. Above the smiles and froWns
Of the tickle public, his empire is
his home, his dominion his smiling
fields; with no inspiration for du-
plicity, no temptation for intrigue
and ehicanery. Free from the
chickering's of fashionable society,
none of the jealousies of profession
al life modest the even tenor of his
way. What are the honors of the
world to him? When the tolls of
the day are over, he finds his great
est pleasure in the sweet rest of
home. Why should he not be the
truest Of patriots? Will he not
strike for the home he has earned
by his honest toll? The homeless,
shiftless adventurer can never feel
such a holy devotion for country
as the one who has home to love
and a hearthstone to defend. Mag
nifty as you please the laws and
Con stitution, it is the strong home
feeling that gives the potent infiu-
enee. The man who has spot of
earth, where he has planted tree
or his wife has nursed a flower in
the hour of trial, will evince a de
yotion and heroism that will put to
shame the hollow pretentions of all
the blatant politicians and deme-
gogues in the land. And, above
all, a farmer should be the best of
Christians His life is further re-
moved from temptations and
worldly influences; his mode of life
should fill his mind with grand and
holy conceptions of his God, and
his dependence on the benefactions
Of a kinkly Providence"

Of Joseph Jefferson's first APP
pearance on the stage when fourteen
years old, Mr.. L. G. Davis gives in
Lippincott a touching description.
The young actors widowed mother
had for weeks trained him in the
music words and business of his
part. They were very poor, and
both hoped intensely that the debut
would be successful. The night
came, and young Jefferson took his
place upon the stage more dead
than alive with fright. He became
conscious that his mother was
watching him, and though half
blinded with fear, he saw her hands
tremble up to her mouth, saw the
tears filling her eyes, and saw her
trying to smile encouragement to
him through them; yet after the
first line or two he broke down ut
terly, and amid a storm of Kisses
he tottered off at the wing, to which
his mother was clinging for sup
port, so great was her distress. He
flung himself into her arms CRYING
out through his sobs and hers that
be had failed-that he should never
succeed. The lovly lady and loving
mother died, not, indeed, before her
son had gained a good position
upon the stage, but before he had
the success that would have
made her so proud and happy.

; Watering Horses.

Horses watered three times q
day-morning. noon and nlght-will
be in far better condition for work
of any kind than If watered half q
dozen times as some people dfiy-
ing allow their horses to be. They
will sweat less and be more lively,
and we believe will be in better
health. Once day or twice day
even is not sufficient: horses can
get along with it, as can cattle; but
it is not advisable or humane. In
fields where there are full watering
troughs, cattle will be found to go
to them about three times a day
and horses the same. SpongiDg
out the mouths of horses at stop
ping places should never be allow
ed. In the first place we do not
consider it of any benefit; and in
the second it may convey disease
from one animal to another.

Keep it to Yourself.

You have trouble-your feelings
are injured, your husband is I'M
kind, your wife frets, your home is
not pleasant, your friends do not
treat you fairly, and things in gen
eral move unpleasantly. Well, what
of it? Keep it to yourself. A
smoulderfng fire can be found and
extinguished, but when the Goals
are scattered who can pick them
up? Bury your sorrow. The place
for sad and disgusting things is un
der the ground. A cut finger is not
benefited by pulling off the plaster
and exposing it under somebody's
eyes; tie it up and let it alone. 1t
will get well sooner than you can
cure it. Charity covereth a multi
tude of sins Things thus covered
often cure without a scar; but once
published and confided TO meddling
there is no end OF the trou
BILE they cause. Keep it to your
self. Troubles are transient, and
when sorrow is healed and past,
what comfort it is to say: No one
ever knew it until it was all over"

A fine industrious garden gives
health, comfort and glorious in
dependence to farm life. In fact it
is one of the noblest institutions
known to the best senses of the
human family. It's the spot of in
teresting labor and communication
with the workings of nature for
mans earthly enjoyment.
North Carolina farmers have
about 100000 sheep, which yield a
yearly profit of something near
S45O,OO0.
They had destroyed by dogs last
year about 10000 sheep.
The dogs of the State number
about $4,000. an annual cost of
nearly 100000 to the people, suf
ficient to buy and double the pres
ent stock of sheep in the State.
Tennessee's statistical exhibit of
the sheep and dog species differ
very little from the above. Taking
into consideration the difference be-
tween sheep profit and dog cost, no
one could assume to believe thai
dog masters were hard up.

A writer claims, going back into
the year 1900, to have unraveled
the labor question. He finds DC
cents per week as the standard
price for labor, and seventy cents
pushed for wheat, and exhibits a
disposition to return to. old ways
and prices-that is, necessities and
luxuries for the few, and a scanty
or mean living for that class who
exercise the muscle for keeping the
soul and body together until fur
Their orders. 1t is inhuman, and a
want of true manhood for any man
or class of men to attempt to sub
sist upon the toll and productions
of others. Such class of men are
drones, costly drones; and the
sooner the laborers of the field and
drivers of the plane fit themselves
for throwing off the yoke now bind
ing them to the dust, end put forth
their latent strength for equal
rights and just government, the
better for themselves, their chill
dren, and pure solid society at
large.

The Early Girl.

Whether it is because the prevail
ing idea that the early bird catches
the husband or that there is some
thing in the character of our insti-
tutIons or of our climate, the fact
is indisputable that the American
girl begins life at a very early age,
says the Philadelphia Times. She
goes into society at about that time
of life when the glrls of nearly every
other nation on the face of the earth
are getting out of their cradles or
beginning to get an idea of the al
phabet. The American girl doesn't
get through with her primer before
she knows all about the fashions.
She keeps up with all the changes;
can tell as well as any one the exact
tint of ribbon that must be used to
trim her hat; she knows that she
must have a feather; because this is
the season for them, and that her.
last years dress cannot possibly be
made over for this year, because the
different kind, and she abhors being
out of date. When she has accom-
plished a knowledge of fashions she
looks out for q beau, and. being a
wide awake girl, she gets one easily
enough. She is not very particular
about him, only that he must be
good-looking, and in securing some
noble feature of this kind she usu-
ally gets a tender young man, who
If he stays by her-turns out a
grievous disappointment in the end
There is no purpose to indicate that
the American girl is not the sweet
est and best girl ever heard of, be-
cause everybody knows she is, but
it must be made apparent to the
lady that headlong growth is not
good for her. -..,.,l

THE LOVERS HOUR.

When the evening sun goes down,
And the daisfes close their eyes;
Ere dusk wrinkles to frown,
: Or the stars blink in the skies;
" hen the dew andlzephyrs light
Woo the perfume from the flower,
When the day is meeting night,
ID the lovers's hour,
Cleaning is the trysting time;
Hardest outlines soften then;
Common mortals grow sublime
Love and twilight soften men,
Feelings hidden from the light
2 Shrink not to assert their power;
And when day is woong night
Is the lovers hour.
Twilight wells with kindly grace
Bushes burning on the cheek
When thei mild upturned face
Coyly answers eyes that speak;
Lip meets lip, its troth TO plight;
r. Rapture, then, is loves sweet dover;
Then, when day is kissing night,
IL the lovers hour, .
