stance, it does not follow that skillful prac-
tice is dependent on corresponding knowl-
edge. The telegraph operator may trans
nit dispatches with the utmost rapidity and
exactness, without the slightest acquaint.
ance with the science of electricity. And
the few comparatively elementary observa-
tions by which a navigator guides his course
over the ocean are based upon astronomical
tables constructed for him. He is not
obliged to know the depth and extent OF
their scientific foundations in order to be an
expert in his business as mariner. The
young farmer, in like manner, waving all
ambition of ranking among the pioneers OF
improvement, but accepting methods pre-
pared for him by others, may become ex-
pert in practical farming. But it ought to
be understood that among all the useful arts
agriculture is the one furthest from the
possibility of being reduced to a simple code
of rules, applicable to all cases. The end
less variety of material, changes of condi-
ticn, diversities of operations, leave very
wide margin where rules fail and principles
are demanded to give sure foothold for
success. And it is certain than on all but
fertile virgin soils the most successful farm
ers are those who in addition to practical
skill, have also the most open eyes and the
most inquiring minds. A scientific train
ing initiates and fosters this spirit, and
furnishes in youth store of knowledge,
accurate aud in orderly arrangement, which
will be helpful in thousand ways in after
years upon the farm.

tobe, that they held their breath for mo.
ment to bring their thoughts round TO hers.
Helen had apparently forgotten the presence
OF her sister and friend and was quite all
sorbed in her vision of the great world.
She sat quite still and soon strange pallor
overspread her face, making her long thick
black hair, now loosed from the pins, blacker
and her large eyes darker and more earnest.
Christobel looked long at her, wondering IL
her sisters own thoughts had thus changed
her color, and wondering, too, how much
experience it would take to harmonic the
varied traits and impulses of the impetuous
girl. Each was silent as their faces faded
from sight, in the deepening twilight. At
last the fairy put forth her golden wand
again.
"For how long would you be willing to
travel, just to see this interesting world,
Helen, with no other object p
"Oh for few years. answered the en-
thusiastic girl. al would come back very
often to tell you and mother about it, and
see the dear old home, aud bring quaint
things, you know, as travellers do, which
should be your treasures, Christy, dear"
And she crossed the room and threw her
arms about her sister, who now reasoned
with her as she did before with Cora, that
nothing could bring to them the real living
peace they desired If they sought only pres
ent happiness and amusement for themselves.
AT last was heard the cheerful, bright step
of Mrs. Rivers She laughed when she found
the three so quietly chatting together, in
wardly rejoicing that her Christobel was not
alone. She was middle-aged woman, of
great energy, and possessed of mind so
healthy and evenly balanced that it fairly

the over-ambitious Helen.
Cora declared that she must 90 now, as
darkness was coming on so she said good
night to all, and hurried off to the village.
She wondered how it was that, however
discontinued and restless she was when she
mounted this hill, when she came down her
heart was filled with quiet peace and a
desire to do all she could for others regard
less of self She felt stronger, better, purer
and every way superior to her silly childish
self, after her visits to that inspiring friend.
Even the Eighty fanciful little Flora, con.
fessed that she, too, quite forgot her pretty
dresses and hats, and all her gay compan.
ions, when once she heard sweet Christie
bells voice. Her speech was low and soft
yet strangely persuasive. None so wicked
none so naughty, none SO gay, but they bent
the head to listen to her singularly wise
words. For weeks, months, years, Chris
tobel had never left Hill Cottage, but 81
lent powerful influence went out from her
and drew forth the wise and the merry folk
of that little village up to the quiet home Of
the invalid girl. The giddy child left his
play, the scholar his books, and the bust
ness man his office, to enjoy the charm OF
that retreat. There was strange power in
her single-hearted wisdom, that she herself
knew not of. In the world but not of it,

ROCHESTER, UNIvERsITY.-Thi flourish
ing New York college seems to be moving
with the times. A recent writer in the Err
aminer and Chronicle says, speaking of some
of the leading members of the faculty,
"Their scheme of education bears witness
to the fresh and earnest spirit of its direct
ors. There is no obsolete scholasticism
about it. A visitor in the recitation rooms
would be struck by the business-like meth
DDS adopted. Intellectual philosophy and
Greek literature, logic, Roman law and the
Calculus are 50 taught as to find direct rela-
tionship to the conditions of the present time
and the needs of human nature as it is" If
such lofty branches as these can be taught
with "no obsolete scholasticsm about
them, it would surely seem that the like
might be done with modern literature and
the natural sciences. But in too many OF
our institutions of learning it is still an un
known art.

Il. II. HosKINs. Agricultural Editor.
THE OLD FARMHOUSE,

The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the cold hearth-stone;
with wltching grace, In the old fireplace,
The evergreens strewn,
And pictures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks In the cottage hall.
More lovely still, on the windowslll,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While midst the leaves on the moss-grown caves,
The martin builds her nest,
And all day long the winter breeze
IL cody toying with the naked trees.
Over the door, all covered DER
with sack OF dark-green baize,
Lies a rDusket old, whose worth is told
In the events Of other days;
And the powder flask and the hunters horn,
Have hung beside 1t for many morn
For years have fed with nolseless tread.
Like fairy dreams away,
And in their flight, all shorn Of It's might,
A father-old and gray;
And the old man sleeps In his easy-chair.
Inside the door, on the sanded floor.
Light, airy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair, with iaNeu hair,
Knees by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivy cllugs to It's trembling form.

THE instances are yet comparatively few

Science and the Arts.

The warmest advocate of scientific train
ing for the artisan or the cultivator of the
soil does not presume to say that there is no
good art without science. Largely indebted
as the arts are to science, the former has in
much of its growth anticipated the latter
and even when an art owes its very exis-
tence to science, as in telegrapby for in

VARIOUS IDEAS ABOUT IRoN.-The I'M
educated regard iron as incombustible, but
the chemist knows that it will burn with the
utmost fury. The poet uses it as an emblem
of rigidity, but in the hand of the forge man it
is as plastic as wax, and is modelled and
moulded into every form. The jailor prizes
it as an obstruction, but the electrician sees
in it only channel of open communication
with all the world.

THE duty of chemistry in agriculture lies
in the economical perfecting of the soil. 1t
cannot modify the seasons, nor alter the
elements of the atmosphere, but it can show
us how to gain from the soil the largest
quantity and the best quality of food and
clothing, at the least cost consistent with the
permanent good condition of the land.

The continued prosperity of a nation de-
ponds mainly on the condition of its agricul-
ture; nor have instances been wanting where
the highest state of civilization, coupled with
the maturity of commerce, has failed to
save from decay and ruin the nation which
has neglected the cultivation of its soil.

A SCIENTIFIC education, to develop its
highest value, must be based upon system
attic training in mathematics. This, not only
because of the mental development thus
secured, but because all the natural sciences
are closely concerned with the science Of
numbers, and student in them goes hall
without good grounding therein.

Some time ago we wrote an arti-
ele suggestive of the fact that Grant
is the most probable candidate that
will go before the Republican Con-
vention in Chicago next June. We
further stated that we preferred to
see Grant ELECTED to any other
REPUBLICAN. The blockhead who
squibs for the Vienna Sentinel in
ferred from what we said in that
article that in short time we would
prefer Grant to s'ANY Democrat"
None but a dolt could have drawn
any such an inference from what
we said. So much for the Sentinel.
Now the Madison Journal, one of
the most ably edited papers in the
State, comes out and says "there is
no question but prejudice is dying
OUT Indeed, we need not go
beyond our own parish to establish
this fact.'' The Journal has sense
enough to know that the war is
over, and that because it acknowl-
edges Grants extraordinary abili-
ties is no reason that sensible men
should accuse it of a retraction of
Democratic principles. .-.

John Hickman, one of the cat
tie, kings Of Colorado, du ing a
temporary fit OF insanity, as
saulted several persons IN 3
sleeper on the Kansas Pacific
road one night last week. He
has been afflicted with similar
fits for some time, and was on his
way to Hot Springs accompanied
by his wife, hoping to find relief
from his ailment: They took the
sleeper at Denver, and when
night came retired together in q
lower berth. About ten o'clock
Hickman raised up and COM
menced pounding his wife most
numerically. Her screams only
made him worse. He jumped
up, drew a long knife and slashed
away at occupants in the upper
berths, cutting an old Engllshman
severely in the arm and side.
By this time the conductor,
whose name is Ward, entered
the car and Hickman rushed at
him, saying that he would kill
Ward. Ward surmised the con-
diticn of his sssailant and by ex-
ercise of rare presence of mind,
succeeded in convincing him that
he was his friend and would help
him whip DOT the whole car if
necessary: BY this means the
crazed man was quieted, and
when the brakeman handed
Ward a revolver, he leveled it at
Hickman and told him to lie
down. He obeyed and gave
his travelling comrades. no more
trouble during the night, Hick-
man is one of the richest men in
Colorado. He counts his cattle
by the thousand.
