A farmer Of experience says that he
has raised turnips with corn many
years, and has never had reason
to suppose the corn crop was at all
lessened by the turuips, for re"lly they
are not an interference. They make
nearly all their prowth after the corn
is ripe.
1t is estimated that the hay crop Of
the country, rec oned at only FIVE dol
lars per ton, is worth three times that
of cotton, ten times that of wool, and
twice that Of wheat.

Virtue I'm Work.

Work ennobles luxury enervates
and dem ralizes. This is the verdict
of history. awarded IN every nota-
ble case in which the gu ''tlon has
arisen Simplicity OF lite aud honor
able industry have ever brought forth
a condition f private and pubic viz
tue, have produced comfort and every
desirable aspect of wealth, with con-
tentlnent and happiness. 1t Is Curious
to note the change which has occurred
Of late years in the condition of the
people both in the ayr; cultural and in
dustries, not only in our own country
but in Great Britain-lhe greater con-
dition of luxury and expensive living
which now exists and the painful tur-
mol of grumbling and dissatisfaction
with preseu. circumstances. At home
we arc complaining that business is
very bad; that farming no longer pays;
that expenses eat up profits: that pro-
duce sells for nothing and that, on the
whole, everything seems to be going
to the bad.
Abroad the same occurs, but to a
greater degree. In England agrlcul-
ture is in desperate straits. Every
week a hundred or more farmers ara
published in the official Gazette" as
bankrupts or insolvents. Ground be
tween the millstones of high rents and
high wages, under the operation OF the
effects of ruinous competition with
cheaper American products, the En-
glish farmer is in sad plight. And
uow comes Joseph Arch, who IL The
prophet of the period in this Case, ant
who says, Farmers must return TO th'
old.fashioned and b mely beer, il
place of the new tangled costly wine
must dismiss the piano, and put thei
daughters to the churn as in the old
en- time, in order to revive agricultur-
pal prosperity" Aud the "Jeremald,

Every family required an organ, and
the principal reason was because the
next neighbor had one. All were sold
on a years credit. The young ladies
who learned 10 use these instruments
doubtless no longer milk the csws

convenient or degrading, leads further
and becomes disastrous in the end.
The young men, too, require fast
