The Creed for a Farmer.

The agriculturists of Canada met in conven-
ton not long ago, and adopted for themselves
the following creed:
We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation.
We believe the earth loves to eat as well as
the owner, and ought, therefore, to be well
MANFRED
We believe in going to the bottom OF
things, and, therefore, in deep blowing and
enough OF it. All the better ii it be sub
soil pillow.
We believe in large crops which leave land
better than they found it, making both the
farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe that every farmer should own a
good farm.
We believe that the fertilizer Of any soil Isl
spirit OF industry, enterprise and intelligence;
without these, lime, gympsum and guano will
be OF little use.
We believe in good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards and good children
enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife
in IT, a clean cupboard, a dairy, and a clear
conscience.
We believe that to ask mans advice is not
STOPPING, but Of much benefit.
We believe that to keep place Tor every
thing and everything in its place, saves many
a step, and Is pretty sure to lead to good tools
and keeping them in order.
We believe that kindness to stock, like good
shelter, is a saving Of fodder.
We believe that il Is a good thing TO keep
an eye on experiments, and note all, good and
bad
We believe that it is good rule to sell
grain when it Is ready

testify more determination shown on the part OF
the toiIing masses 70 protect their industries
and their rights from the encroachments OF the
privileged classes than ever before in the his
tory of civilization. They aware that they
are now producing more wealth every year;
that our exports largely exceed our imports
that fiye-sXths of this excess is produced Dy
their labor; and yet by unfriendly and unjust
legislation. they deprived of the just rewards
OF their labor. They are aware that most OF the
politicians and professions, if not enemies, are
unfriendy to our success, and that until the I'M
just prejudice now existing against our order IL
removed, We need not look for assistance out
side of the votaries Of agriculture
] am so confident that the opposition 10 the
Grange comes from a misunderstanding oil lts
aims and objects that cannot let an opPortu-
nitv pass to show to the public that 1t Is Tor the
best interests OF agriculture (Which means the
best interests OF the country at large, IS every
other interest is based on agricultural that We
labor, and that the Grange cannot be used Tor
any other purpose.
il is the farmers only organization, and the
only one they have ever attempted. il II were
possible for the opposition 70 overcome II, this
generation OF farmers would 60 bacs 70 their
Isolated lives, and thus give up all development
in that interest which is the life Of the State Of
Mississippi.
1t Is needless to add, that as agriculture
the destinies Of this State must rise
or fall, and it does seem reasonable to ask OF
those whose fortunes depend on the state Of our
affairs, that they would be ready TO build up
as they seem now to tear down. that upon which
hangs the best hope, and / might add the only
hope Of the agricultural classes.

SELECTED MISCELLANY.

Economy is of itself great revenue.
Cicero.
If we have nothing to speak to edi-
tication, how much better to hold our
tongue!
We see what a man has, and envy
him; if we saw how little he enjoyed,
we should pity him.
First shoot around corners, and YOU
may not despair of converting by a syl-
logism.
There is no man so friendless but that
he can find n friend sincere enough to
tell him disagreeable truths-Bulwer
The diamond fallen into the dirt is not
the less precious, and the dust raised by
high winds to heaven is not the less vile
Persian Proverb.
You have no more right to iniure
the national language than to clip q
statute or to run a knife through pie
ture in the National Museum. R. w.
Dale, ID. d.
Men trust rather to their ewes than
to their ears; the effect Of precepts is,
therefore, slow and tedious, while that
of examples is summary and etfectual.
Seneca.
Were every dewdrop diamond,
every atom world, and every world fill

boundless desires of the immortal soul.
E. Temple.
Give not thy tongue too great lib

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness the bowels in gen.
eral are COstve, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pam, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part 0 There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
Cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
