THE FARMERS SONG.

@ We who crowd the city's ways,
In search of toilless treasure,
Think not the sun-hrowncd farmers da
Devoid Of Joy or pleasure.
Forth 10 the fields at morn he goes,
Nor fears the labor's soiling;
At closc Il day the world he knows
Is richer for his toiling.
True, there is in his daily life
OF Joy and care blending,
Away from the worlds grosscr strife
His patient tioclls attending;
But as he turns the fruitful soil,
Nature's mysteries learning,
With worldly store she crowns his toll,
Will health is labor's earning
And BY the sweat Of brow, lis said,
That m4n shall earn his living,
And t. All such their daily bread
A bountcoas soil is giving.
All honor, then, to him whose hand
The fruitful earth is tilling-
Obeying thus the great command
Will cheerful heart aud willing

The veto power has been exercised
by the Presidents Of the United States
ninety-three times. Washington sent
two veto messages to Congress-one
returning bill for the apportionmect
of members of Congress, the other re-
turning bill to reduce the army. The
reason assigned for not approving the
bill first named was that its provisions
were impracticable. He vetoed the
bill to reduce the army because it was
injudicious and unjust. Madison seat
six veto messages to Congress- Among
the bills dissapproved by him was one
comforting nat uralization privileges,
which the President thought was lila
Bile to abuse by aliens" and one to es-
tablish the United States Bank, which
was not approved, because the Presi-
dent thought it "did not meet public
requirements" Monroe vetoed only
one bill--to extend aid to the Cum
berland road. Jackson vetoed twelve
bills. Tyler nine. Polk three, Pierce
nine; Buchanan four, Lincoln one.
johnson seventeen, Grant twepty-six
Hayes four, namely the Silver bill, a
special term of the Circuit Court in
Mississippi, the Chinese bill, and the
Army Appropriation bill The river
and tarbor appropriation was vetoed
by Jackson twice, and by Tyler, Polk
and Pierce each once. The seventeen
bills vetoed by johnson were of ,politi-
cal character, and all were passed over
the veto except one, namely;a bill to
admit the Territory of Colorado into
the Union. The only important bill
of the twenty six vetoed by Grant was
the Imitation bill. Nearly all the
others were bills for the relief of indi-
viduals.

disturbance Of a very disagreeatle ma
ture, about not whisper has so far
been suffered to become known, has
most inopportunely broken out in the
Madras Presidency, British India
The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter, written by an officer Of the
Royal Artillery attached to the Ord
nance Denartment at Madras, dated
March Is:
x * "We had just dspat ched
two regiments to Buruah yesterday
when telegram was received announc-
ing that there was row at Rampore,
somewhere near Rajahmnndry--a
military station in the northern portion
of the Madras Presidency-and had
to send off another regiment immediate
ly. AS an evidence of the urgency
of the case, | may state that the men
received their orders at 2 in the after
noon, and embarked before 6. This
was pretty sharp work | think you will
admit. The gist of the Rajahmurdry
business seems to be that one of the
Madras civilians has been taxing COCO
nut trees belonging to some bill tribe.
The owners refused to pay and kicked
out the police. Then the official shut
himself up. The natives surrounded
him and his attendants and cut them
off from supplies of food and water.
believe the whole tribe is up aud
means mischief, but they are only arm
ed with bows and arrows. The tele-
gram says: The Sub-Collector should
have returned to-day to Jummabupdy
(circuit of inspection and assessment),
but is detained indefuitelyv If he is
dead, or even cut off from food and
water, it is probable that the regiment
will not be able to get to him in for
four or five days. These civilians, or
rather their Tahsildars, in whose hands
they are, grind down those wretched
eyots to the last extremity. Ofcourse
this gives US constant work preparing
troops on war footing at "a couple Of
hours notice"
woman Writing to the New York
Herald from TIA y says that she weeps
to see Am erican girls visiting Italy for
the development of their talents as ar
lists in music, painting and sculpture
because, alone and unprotected, none
"can resist years Of this trying lite,
and, in a womans case, not lose all
her faith In mankind, all her illusions
and hopes, and regard the world as a
bitter and unjust enemy, against whom
her soul rebels, even if she escapes
contamination. She asks: What
is wrong at home? Are there no more
channels for the restless energy and
ambition of our girls? Is there no
longer any power in home associations
and ties, or even in the duties we owe
to the declining years Of too fond par
ents? Is it out of fashion to marry
and have little home of ones own
and make therein sweet music for the
comfort of two loving hearts? 1t is a
question that l am often asked by
fereigners-viz: Why do so maoy
girls come abroad?'

AN INCOME WITHOUT CARE.

By the combination method of operat-
ing in stocks a handsome income can
be secured without care. Capital in
any amount, from SO to $50, 000, may
be used with equal proportionate sue
cess. By this system Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, N. Y, pool the
orders of thousands of customers, of
various sums, into one vast amount,
and cooperate them under the most
skillful management, dividing profits
monthly. Each shareholder thus OBJ
tains all the advantages of the largest
capital and experienced skill, and tile
percentage of profits is very great; $50
will pay 800 in 80 days; $3.50 will re-
turn sl,625, or Upper cent. on the stock,
and so on, as the market varies. A
prominent publisher Of the Rock Island

jay Gould's Git,

Jay Gould has done the thing nobly.
III he hasn't any heart, rs his enemies
sometimes say, he has something with
in him that throbs very much like one.
1t was a happy fortune to have the
wealth of aprince: but a far happier
fortune to be moved to use it like a
prince. No man that ever lived in this
or any other country has more signal
ly shown to the world the true worth
of riches. Spend this in relieving
the distresses of the sick and call on
me for all else you need" This was
practically the message of Mr.. Gould to
Memphis. 1t was a pledge to stand by
poor suffering humanity that had, we
may say, not less than $4,000 of ready
cash to back it; and a we doubt the
sincerity of the pledge of that ample
fortune If needed? When before in the
history OF human calamities did one
mans word carry to aching hearts such
assuring hope, such confidence of help,
such surcease Of sorrow, as did this
memorable dispatch Of Jay Gould to
the Memphis Howards?-ISt. Louis
Times Journal.

FROM all over the country come
praises of jay Gould's generosity. The
Denver Republican stands almost alone
in its most unenviable position. The
New York Nail says of the act of char
ity: "Mr. Jay Gould's donation of
8 1000 to the Howard association at
Memphis and his engagement to pay
its current expenses of $1,000 a day
are examples of free hearted char
ity which cannot fail to excite the
admiration and sympathy of all his fel-
low citizens, and we trust that his lead
ership will be followed, especially as
the bank of New York promises to for
ware by telegraph all money intended
for the association, without charging a
commission. Mr.. Gould merits the
thanks of northerners as well as
