WHY FARMERS WIVES BECOME
INSANE,
BY W. b. Cary.

|
One winter | met farmers daughter
who had just returned from visit to some
relative in another State. She was the
farmers main stay. for his wife was dead,
and all the other daughters married and
gone. The family was not large. yet they
kept halt dozen cows and made butter
for the market, and kept farm hands
enough to work their place. In fine,
there was no lack of housework for two
able-bodied women, and only one to do it.
When | saw her in the winter she was
rosy and plump and strong as any of her
neighbors. met her casually during the
spring and early summer without noticing
any change. But, toward the close of
summer, | met her, face to face, and was
shocked at the tired, worn look she ex-
hibited. inquired il she were well, to
which she replied, ''Well,-yes, suppose
So" But it was very evident to me that
she Was far from well. knew she had
broken down before, and had gone away
from home to recupeiate. l knew she
had had cough which she assured me, vol

health, and>had returned with rosy cheeks,
and fresh, elastic manners.

ago with the nerveless, tired girl
before me, and involuntarily asked my

not see that they are killing that girl with
work and worry?" And there the question
rests unanswered.

How to Succeed i'm Life.

Mr.. Robert Lowe, NJ. p, ex-chancellol
of the exchequer, said recently. in an adj
dress to the children of a London orphan
asylum:
IL am myself person who has had to
struggle hard in the battle of life. and
will tell you what believe to be one OF
the greatest elements OF success in lite,
and that is that | think there is nothing
that helps young man or woman in life
so much as strict and rigid selfcontrol,
economy and selt-denial. 1t is the Gus
tom to say that youth is the time for en-
joyment and so it is; but nature and
youth have provided that enjoyment for
themselves. The earth and the air and the
skies seem to open to them paradise !;
but when they get older these delights
gradually fade away from them, and they
need the more adventitious and expensive
pleasures. What |, therefore. would
strongly advise every one of you is to
consider that when you 60 into the world
perhaps the first thing you have got to do
is, next to dealing honestly with that
which is intrusted to you, to take care that
you keep clear of debt, and if possible by
self-denial to lay by something for the fu-
ture in case OF sickness or other msfor-
tune. 1t seems to me that that is duty
which is not generally sufficiently incul-
Gated on young people. You will find in
life that if you behave well and do your
duty, all the difficulty is concentrated in
the first step. 1t is the first advance which
men and momen make in life which more
or less decides their future. The begin
nings of life are all crowded. For every
thing that is to be had there is great COM
petition; but when people have once
made step and proved that they are
worthy, all he rest is comparatively easy.
1t has been my duty often to pick out per-
sons Tor situs tions, and my experience is
that when the great mass is penetrated,
and you have got to persons who have
advanced one or two steps, the difficulty
S not that we are overwhelmed with per-
sons fit for the place, but to get any one
who is fit for it. Therefore your object in
ife should be to begin with the greatest
,are, attention and self-denial, 80 to make
his first step as to distinguish yourself as
'eing trustworthy and reliable in all par
iculars, and if you once attract the no.
ice of your employer, and he sees you
re well and honestly diseharging your
uty, you may rely upon it you are in a
air way to make yourself il dependent
nd to lead happy life.''

And few would think OF us with SORROW.

Would then be said:
The corn would floss, the grass yield hav,
The cattle low,

Whose faces fade
With autumn's shade,
Beneath the sodded church-yar,l cold.

They hail our birth, they mourn us dead:

As ii hangs in The ancient hall:
Ru''ed and blunt grows the keen-edged blade
IT, unce so gallant a champion made
As II CLEANS from the castle wall
l he jewel loses its lustrc
As it lies in its velvet nest;
Till dull and dim is the good red gold
That showed such a royal light of old
As it fla he'd from beauiy's breast
The blue eye loses its power
As age comes creeping on;
The fair form droops from its stately grace,
The roses fly from the care-wOrn face,
The charm from the trembling tone
The color fades from the canvass
The magic from ringing rhyme;
Now, is there a joy in this world of ours,
Riches, or glories, or hopes, OF flowers,
But dies al the touch Of time?
Ay, love, in its pure serenity,
Can the pitiless spell DEFY;
For tears cannot drown nor absence dim,
And death itself may not coaquer him,
And true love never can die

would remove one cause Of despondency,

The death of the exiled Bishop for Padeborn revives some interesting "reminiscences of the struggle be- tween Church and State in Germany. In 1870, the late Bishop became deep ly involved in the bitter struggle between Prince Bismarck and his Lieutenant Dr. Falk, on the one side. and the whole Roman Catholic hie- rarehy of Russia on tine other. Four years afterward he was con- demned to undergo six weeks i'm. prisonment for the appointm ent of a priest, in violation of the Falk laws. In July of the same year he received another sentence of 18,00O thalers and three months detention in a fortress for persistent violation of the ecclesiastical law. The fine was declared illegal. Afterward he was several times immprjsoned for like ofenses, and was finally exiled. He was one of the ablest publicists among the Roman Catholics preiates of Geamany, and he was the author of several important works, the most noteworthy of which was a pamph let on the question of Papal infalibil ities.

FAR,rERs ON THE FENCE

English farmers are grumbling loudly, and with good cause. In the hest of seasons fully half of their re- ccipts go to the landlord-for scarce. ly any of them own land-and bad years, like the present, reduce to rum a great number fagriculturists who, if in a new country, would be able through economy to weather poor ssason. Foreign competition, which d few years ago extended only to grain, has gradually come to be in dried and salted meats, fruits, cheese, itter, and finally, live cattle and horses, so that market gardening and poultry raising, which farmers every where consider occupations beneath them, appear to be the only directions in which English soil can proftably be handled. Unless rents are re- duced bankruptcy of the entire class is simply inevitable: indeed, it ap- pears at present to be foregone con clusion, although farmers, most of whom are what they are by centuries of inheritance, are the last men in the world to realize such fact until the sheriff is in possession of their stock and implements Meanwhile America and England's own colonies are full of land to be had merely for the taking, and need the influence of the thorough method and the ability to do mixed farming which charac- terizes English agriculturists. If the English farmers would hold their own, they must emigrate; no other course is open to them, and they would be wise 10 do so before grow ing poorer. Perhaps a general move nent toward an exodus would have the effect of reducing rents, for the present prices sre based upon no in telligent principle, but rather upnr the scarcity of the homo supply in proportion to the number of men who wish to cultivate. At one half the rents now demanded, prices of pro- ducts remaining as they are no Amer icAn farmer would think of cultivat- ing English grounds; yet American farmers themselves are not famous for money making

LAwEReScK Twr., July 10, 1879.
Error REPUBLICAN WIN you please grant
me little space for q few thoughts suggested by
the birthday party hold in Reedyille, on the
4th inst, In honor Of Mrs. Ross Read.
Mrs. Read, whose locks have been whitened by
the winter Of life, is one Of the most respected
and nmiable OF earlh's noblest matrons.
The children, grandchildren, relatives, and
friends, to the number Of ninety, who met on
that iestal day to pay her homage, will never,
trust, lose the impression they mus. have received
that day that 1t Is not only the wealthy, the
great so-ealled), or the stronger sex, who should
be the subjects Of special favor and manifesto
tion Of appreciation in tho communities whore
they live but the gentle humble mother, who,
with patience and devotion, guards the interests
Of the family, and who, with no desire for display
or vain glory, carefully and daily attends to her
household duties, watching over and beautiiying
her home, should DO given a first seat among the
princesses Of the earth.
We Justly praise tho hero who defends his
home and country, against ruthless invaders in
an evil hour; and we venerate the patriots who,
with sword and pen, conspired to establish a Re-
public Of peace but doubly the tribute Of praise
and veneraton we pay these Is due to the mothers
who cared for these men In their tender years, d.
rected their footsteps, and taught them to rever-
ence justice and battle for the right
History will bear me out In tue assertion that
In almost every instance where you find heroic
and noble man, you will find that his mother was
true and Amiable woman. From the time that
the Spartan Mother admonished her sons to die
rather than To shirk duty, down to the pressn
time, mothers have not only nodded the minds OF
men Tor veal or woe, but have controlled, in a
great measure, the destinies Of nations. All
honor then to the noble-minded and thoughtful
mothers who have done so much for the elevation
Of mankind 1t Is we'll that young and old
should meet on common ground to pay them honor
and respect.
Mrs. Read has always been Christian woman
Of sterling integrity, and one who never shifked
duty in her humble sphere Of life and now, as
her eventide Of life draws on, as her step becomes
feeble and her eye grows din, this tribute Of es-
teen paid her was just and proper.
With the feryent hope that she may yet have
long TO live, her many friends unite with her
children and childrens' children In calling her
blessed. OMEoA'
