NOTHING gives the Republican party a
higher sense of satisfaction at this time
than to be denounced by BEN BUTLER,
unless it is to win an unexpected victory in
some Democratic stronghold. The pre-
tended love of BUTLER for Republican prin-
ciples has curdled in such bitter hate under
his personal disappointments that it now
has great irrigating power for the Republi-
can cause. He has our thanks for his
mathemas, for they are better than the
words of fattery from his insincere tongue

SENATOR BLAINE's closing efforts in the
Iowa campaign were characterized by the ex-
hibition of most unprecedented enthusiasm
among the Hawkeye Republicans. 1t was
possibly unnecessary that he should have
put in any appearance at all in that State !;
but as it is, he deserves the credit of having
clinched the nail on the other side, after it
had been driven through by the force of
popular local sentiment. He carried Goals
TO Newcastle, as it were; but he increased
the intensity and brightness of the flames

oratory of Burke, or the poetry Of Byron,
but more extracts from the writings OF
eloquent naturalists, such as would awaken
interest In and arouse enthusiasm for scien-
tifc learning, while training the student in
the use Of quite as racy and vigorous
English.
How are we to get such teachers as we
need for the remodelline of our common
schools in this sense, supposing the people
to demand such changer There are two
ways. The continuous pressure OF public
opinion will, in time, have its effect upon
our great institutions Of learning; and the
study Of natural science, once made OF equal
honor with the study of literature, will draw
as large classes, from which we may select
competent instructors in gradually increas-
ing numbers. This is one way. The other
way is in the establishment of new class
of colleges, normal and high schools, where
modern learning shall be put upon an equal
ity with the learning of the ancients, and
Agassiz have as much reverence as Aristotle,
Watt as much honor as Archimedes. Few
know how difficult it is, as yet, even to get
liberty to make such suggestions as these.
There is an immense "vested interest,""

even of punishment, against the bold limo

Biblical Questions.

The number of replies received to the
biblical questions is quite gratifying. 1t is
pleasant to note the interest which parents
are taking, as shown by their request for the
continuance Of the queries and also by the
occasional assistance acknowledged by the
children. We hope the study of the Bible
will not be limited to this, but the questions
will be a mere incentive TO search the Scrip
lures. There are plenty of interesting stories
il we will but find them. We will report
all the names this week but, hereafter, we
shall publish the names of those, only, who
send correct answers. We hope this will not
discourage any for we are glad to know
what you can do.

The farmer, more than any other, must
be man of broad views and not be confined
to one idea, and that idea the one which
happens to please the fancy for the time be-
ing. 1t is we'll enough in the mechanical
world, and doubtless is altogether best,
that one bend his energies entirely in one
line or direction, to the exclusion of all else
By that process some of the most brilliant
successes have come. But the farmer, to be
all that he should, must see some advantage
some good, some income in every branch OF
his calling, and strive to have as many irons
in the fire as he can safely keep from burning

What is Communism Z

The Boston Cultiudtor processes to be very
much opposed to what it calls commu-
nism," yet in recent issue it advocates the
assumption of the telegraphic business of
the country by the federal government.
| This is rank communism. The communists
demand chat the government shall apply the
principle of the postofice to every branch
of business, and not only carry our mails,
but own and operate the telegraphs and rail-
roads, the grist mills and bakeries, manu-
factories and the mercantile trade of the
country. In Short they demand that every
sort of business shall be under the charge
of the government, and that every citizen
shall become government employe. Even
the farms are to be run in the same way.
Communism is simply paternal govern
ment" run mad. 1t makes the nation every
thing and the individual nothing. Under a
pure Cd communism man will only have
| an undivided share in his wife, and the
children will be the children of the nation"
Communism is directly opposed, in its
principles, to free democracy of the Ameri-
can type. The American idea is that gov
eminent has no proper function save the
preservation of order and the punishment of
crime. When it undertakes the transporta-
ton of the mails, or even the administration
of the schoolsystem, it is only Professionally,
aud because in the present imperfect condi-
| ton of our civilization it seems necessary.
That government is best which governs
least" is the true democratic doctrine but
the communistic idea is just the reverse, and
| a communistic government would have an
inspector to come around every morning to
see if each citizen had properly combed his
hair. Communism has its birth among the
social philosophers and revolutionists born
and trained under absolute forms, where the
idea of anybody's doing anything for him
self, without governmental direction or in
reference, has not been born. Communism
only substitutes an absolute community for
an absolute monarch. Democracy aims at
intelligent self-government and self-help, so
that the citizens as individuals, or in CO.
| operation, provide for all the wants of soci-
ETY., and government simply keeps order.
Instead, therefore, of taking hold of the tel
egraphs, railroads, etc., free government
will give up the post-office to private enter
prise as soon as it becomes practicable to do
so without loss OF efficiency. The post-office
is already great engine of political corrup
ton, and really danger to the nation. How
would it be with other armies of federal Of
icials running the telegraphs and railroads ?
Let not the farmers papers, at least, join in
the propagation Of the foul and foolish doc
trines of European communism among the
people.

Our experience forces us to the conclusion
that many laborers do not know how to hoe
to the best advantage. In hoeing up the
weeds, they mix them with the earth, by
hoeing too Deep aud then manage to set
them out again by treading them in with
their feet. We have sometimes employed
men that hoed in such manner that, when
ever rain followed within forty-eight hours,
the weeds would seem to grow better than
where the ground had not been hoed.

ny Jons o. WHITTIER.
Under the blue New England skies,
Flooded with sunshine valley lies.
The mountains clasp u, warm and sweet,
LIKE sunny child TO their rocky feet.
Three pearly lakes and hundred streams
Lie on its quiet heart Of dreams.
Its meadows are greenest ever s,en;
fts harvest fields have the brightest sheen
Through Ia trees the softest sunlight shakes,
Asd the whitest lilies gem its lakes
love, oh better than words can tell,
Iu every rock and grove and dell;
But most love the gorge where the ril
Gomez down by the old brown cider mill.
Above the clear springs gurgle ont,
And the nppcr meadows wind about;
Then Join, and under willows flow
Round knobs where bue-beech whip-stocks growi
To rest in shaded pool that keeps
The oak trees ciasped in Ia crystal deeps.
Sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down from the old dams broken walls
spatters the knobby bowiden gray.
And, laughing, hies in the shade away.
Under great rocks, through trout pools still,
with many a tumble down TO the mill.
All the way down the nut-trees grow,
And squirrels hide above and below.
Acorns, beechnuts. chestnuts there
Drop all the fall through the hazy air.
And burs roll down with curied up leaves.
In the mellow light OF harvest eyes.
Forever there the still, old trees
Drink wine of peace that has no lees.
BY the roadside stands the cider mill,
Where low-land slumber waits the rill;
great brown building, two stories high.
On the western hIll-face warm and dry
And odorous piles OF APPLES there
FIJI with incense the golden air;
And heaps Of pomace mixed with straw,
To their amber sweets the late flies draw.
The carts back up to the upper door,
And spill their treasures in on the floor;
Down through the toothed wheels they go
To the wide, deep cider press below.
And the screws are turned by slow degrees
Down on the straw-laid cider cheese
And with each turn fuller stream
Bursts from beneath the groaning beam.
An amber stream the gods might sip.
And fear morrow's parched lip
But wherefore gods? Those ideal toys
Were foulless to real New England boys.
What classic goblet ever felt
such thrilling touches through 1t melt.
As throb electric along a straw,
When boylsh lips the cider draw?
The years are heavy with weary sounds,
And their dscords life's sweet music browns;
But yet I hear, oh sweet, oh sweet,
The rn that bathed my bare, brown feet;
And yet the cider drips and falls
On my inward ears at intervals;
And lead at times In sad, sweet dream,
To the babblng OF that little stream;
And alt in visioned autumn STILL
In the sunny door Of the cider mill.
