A Little Errand for God.

Helen stood on the doorsteps with very
tiny basket in her hand, when her father
drove up and said al am glad you are all
ready to go out, dear; | came to take you
to Mr.. Lees park to see the new deer" "Oh,
thank you, papa but | can't go this time.
The deer will keep and we can go to-mor-
row. ] have very particular errand to do
now" said the little girl "What is it,
dear 7" asked her father. "Oh, it is to carry
this somewhere" and she held up the small
basket. Her father smiled, and asked, "Who
is the errand for, dear p "For my own
self, papa; but-oh, no; | guess motifs a
little errand for God, papa" swell, will
not hinder you, my little dear" said the
good father, tenderly. "Can | help you

not but he never has anything nice; and
he's so good and thankful Big folks give

You are right this is little errand for

you to old Peters and wait till you have

here is one" swell, hsre is a two-dollar
bill for you to fix on the skin of the orange.
That will pay old Peters rent for two weeks
and perhaps this will be a little errand for
God, too" said the gentleman. Little Helen,

very happy as her fingers fixed the fresh

The Sparrow's Nest.

When quite young in my boyish days |
had watched some sparrows carry materials
to build their nests, in the usual season,
under the caves of our house and although
strict orders had been given that none OF us
should climb up to the roof of the house, yet
the birds eggs formed a temptation too
powerful to be resisted A favorable OPP
portunity presented itself the roof Of the
house was climbed and the nest taken away.
1t was soon stripped of its unnecessary APP
pendages, that it might appear as neat as
possible Among the things removed was
piece of paper which had been a page in
one OF DIR. Watts hymn books and thrown
away, and had been taken by the poor bird
for the purpose of increasing the warmth OF
her nest. A word or two caught my eye as
unfolded the paper, and boy as ] was,
read these verses with curious feelings
"why should deprive my neighbor
OF his goods against his will
Hands were made for honest labor,
Not to plumber nor TO steal.
Guide my heart, o God OF heaven,
Lest eovet what's not mine
Lest take what is not given,
Guide my hands and heart from sin.
Had the bird been able to read and reason
it could not have selected a text more ap
propriate for reproof and instruction thar
this. What was contrivcd and done !" il
secret" was thus condemned from the house
top. My young friends should remember
that when they do wrong God sees them ant
can send them reproof even by means of {

Employment.

One of the ablest English journals does
homage to the truth, as well as to great
man when it says: "The following just
sentiment was uttered by Daniel Webster,
in speech in the senate of the United
States. 1t should be had in everlasting re-
membrance Sir, say it is employment
that makes the people happy. Sir, this
great truth ought never to be forgotten it
ought to be placed on the titlepage of every
book on political economy intended for
America, and such countries as America. 1t
ought to be placed in every farmers maya.
zine and mechanics magazine. 1t should
be proclaimed everywhere, notwithstanding
what we hear of the usefulness--and ad-
NIT the high usefulness-of cheap food
Notwithstanding that, the great truth should
be proclaimed everywhere, should be made
into a proverb, if it could-that where there
is work for the hands and the men, there
will be work for their teeth. Wksre there
is employment there will be bread. And in
country like our own, above all others,
will this truth hold good-a country like
ours, where, with great deal of spirit and
activity among the masses if they can find
employment, there is always great willing
ness for labor. If they can obtain fair com
pensation for their labor, they will have
good houses, good clothing, good food, and
the means of educating their families; and
if they have good houses, and good clothing,
aud good food, and means of educating their
children from their labor, that labor will be
cheerful, and they will be a happy and con-
tented people,"

Change Of Land Tenure.

Those who think there is no danger OF
change in the tenure Of land in this county,
by which farms will be held and rented as
they are in England, will be surprised to
find such change advocated as desirable by
so leading journal as the New York Times,
which says
at is very certain that American agriculture is
on the eve OF serious changes and of great improve
ments. Half OF the farms in the country are ready
to be sold II buyers wond only appear. Few
farmers can hope to provide their sons with farms
Of their own, but to stock rented farm is not so
difficult matter But before this can be done
the owner of the land must hold II as a permanent
investment And then will begin new era in
American agriculture, and one that seems to be
very desirable"
Before deciding upon the desirability OF
thus depriving our farmers of the owner
ship of the land they till, it would be well
to study the condition of country where
the experiment has been thoroughly tried.
The following from Macmilan's Magazine,
one of the most respectable English publ
cations, may throw some light upon the
subject:
more than half the soil OF the United Kingdom
is owned by some 1000 persons Four hundred
and twenty-one persons the owners OF ~ $780,
1855 acres, or nearly 100000 acres more than
one-fourth of the total area Of the kingdom. The
mind Is unable to grasp what such monopoly
costs the country but certain features OF It stand
forth with prominence sufficiently notable. In
most absolute sense the well-being OF the entire
population OF some -, 000, 600 souls Is placed in
the power Of few thousands. For these thou
sands the multitude tolls and 1t may be, on occa-
sion, starves. Hence II Ia that all through rural
England we have continually before us that most
saddening Of all spectacles, two or three families
living in great spendor, and hard by their gates
the miserable poor, the abject slaves OF the soil,
whose sole hope in life is too often the workhsuse
and the paupers grave In his absolute supremacy
the landowner overrides all JUSTICE takes prece-
dence of all ordinary creditors ON his helpless
tenants estates, and controls the system OF Guilt
walton often in utter disregard OF private judg-
ment and In addition secures to himself the abso-
lutte reverson of every improvement which the
tenant may make on the land p"
We may add that the New York Times
only voices the feeling and purpose Of the
capitalist class; in proof of which it is
simply necessary to refer to the fact that it
has repeatedly spoken of the hard times and
great decline in values as beneficial thing,
inasmuch as it has concentrated the wealth
of the country in the large cities and towns,
and in comparatively few hands. The
Times is also the leading advocate of an ex-
elusive gold money standard, to the exclu-
sion of silver and national currency. The old
Federalist party is not dead it still exists,
and is powerful as faction controlling both
the great parties in all the Eastern states
1t is time that the people should awaken to
this fact and its meaning.

IT is NOW THE FASHION to sneer at the
political ideas prevalent among the farmers
and workingmen of this country. There is,
no doubt, great deal of crudity in many OF
those opinions, but hardly less than prevails
with even the leading lights among our pub
lie men, judging by the way they gainsay
and dispute one another's propositions Ger
tain it is, that, when reviewing the history
of our country, every one will have to admit
that from Franklin to Garrison the political
ideas that have prevailed and established
themselves originated in the minds of work
ing people. jefferson followed the lead OF
Franklin Lincoln and Sumner were the po-
litical children of Garrison. In view of
these facts, perhaps it would be as well to
ego slow in this matter of trying to bury
popular ideals under heap of contemptu-
Gus objurgation. The free farmers of the
North abolished slavery and brought great
corporations into subsection to the law when
politicians abetted or trembled helpless be-
fore them.

WE TRY TO REPRESENT, in these columns,
the conservative yet progressive farmers, as
distinguished from the fancy farmers on one
side and the scrub farmers on the other
side. We are for holding on to all that
is good in the past approaching the good of
the present. and reaching forward for some
thing still better in the future. We believe
that knowledge is power yet, without
virtue, more likely to be power for evil
than for good We believe in the right of
the majority to rule, but not TO rule wrongly.
We believe in the directing power of age,
wealth and experience, when exercised fairly
and for the general good. We believe in
the equality of rights between rich and poor,
and also in an equality of duties: But to So
cure those rights freemen must be intelligent
enough to knoD them, brave and harmonious
enough to assert and successfully maintain
them. "Power constantly tends to pass
