Good Thoughts.

We were once speaking of Editor Cheev.
er's good work on the New England Farmer
to au acquaintance who replied that he
"thought Cheever too long-winded." We
thought this pretty superficial opinion,
having never found his longest editorials de-
ficient in "meat." That conversation re-
Cured to us while reading the leading article
in the Farmer of January 3D., and we just
scissored the pithy sentences as we went
along. Here are about half of our pile of
excerpts, cut from half a column. Like Henry
Clays homely mouth they will "speak for
themselves -
"lr is not always the best land that makes
the best farmers"
"A PRUDENT, intelligent and industrious
farmer, if he loves his business, will be sue
cessful farmer wherever you may find him."
"FARMERs are apt to draw great deal
from their business that they give no credit
for
"Ir is often claimed that farming don't
pay. Don't let another year pass in which
you cannot tell, with certainty, whether
farming in your case pays or not"
"TnE world never stands still, and unless
we keep padding we shall soon be left be-
hind"
"IT is action, not idleness, that gives
power and character"
"YoU will learn great deal by compar-
ing notes with other good farmers.
"THE weak point in New England agri-
culture, it seems to us, is one of two things.
Either we do not do quite so well as We
know, or we don't know quite so much as
we should"
"WHosE brain, muscle and accumulated
wealth is it that has built up the west, sub
dued her fields, built her cities, and laid the
thousands Of miles of iron rail, if not New
England's ?"
"IN no way can you so cheaply keep
abreast with the progress of the times as by
reading well selected publications"
"CoULD we have our choice in selecting
the people for thrifty, prosperous and in
dependent nation, we would much sooner
choose the men who can get living and
gather wealth from soil of ordinary fer
tility, rather than those who are only con.
tented when gathering the spontaneous pro
auctions of nature"

American agriculture thought best not TO
give more explicit suggestions as to the re-
lief of the farmers. Its generalities are not
even glittering. And, then, to say that, by
way of complaint, government has become
proud and autocratic while her toiling Ia
borers are Inundated in their poverty, sa-
vors too much of college freshmsn's ora
ton. Is IL true that the American farmer
is Inundated in his poverty And isn't there
greater cause for humiliation on his part
that any government Of which he is factor,
should, through his carelessness, become
proud and autocratic p
"The time has gone by for incorporate
criticism of lawmakers by those who do
not lift a finger in the affairs of state. Why
does the farmer go into his grain lot or
dairy, and complain that the freights are
ruinously high, and all the politicians OF the
land fit only for the prison Whose fault
is it Is not the farmer citizen, and are
not the citizens the source of all political
power 2 The farmer who INDUCES in TRADES
against political hacks, yet keeps away from
caucuses, is not worthy to be citizen.
Wherever men gather together to dis
cuss public matters, there let the farmer be;
wherever candidates are to be selected for
public offices, let the farmer try his hand
in selecting men that will represent him;
and wherever monopolists plan to get rich
at the public expense, let the strong agricu-
tural arm be raised against speculation,
fraud, and injustice. The farmer should be
more than a nominal quantity in our poll
tics. He should dictate measures, and not
limit his duties of citizenship to choosing
between the bad candidates of city bosses
and machine politicians.
"The farmers of Missouri are doing
little thinking for themselves in a political
way, and are organizing farmers alliances.
Politics are about as exact a science as
farming, and our Missouri brethren should
be reminded that in some states these
alliances have done more harm than good,
because the substantial men have thought
lessly subscribed their names, while the
personally ambitious have done all the think
ing and manipulating. The strong agri-
cultural arm can easily be chained to the
car of machine politics by a thoughtless ill.,
dorsement of every candidate who wears an
agricultural badge in his button.hole."

Another Proof that Bright's
Disease, in its Worst
Form, is Cur BILE.
ROCHESTER. n. Y. November 81. 1877

ROCHESTER, n. Y, November 81, 1879
IeSsrs. II. H. Warner C Co., Rochester, ", T.:
GENTs-From my own sense Of duty, and
upon the advice of friends, have concluded to
that there is an absolute cure for Brights
Disease in its worst form. My daughter Carrie
has been afflicted with this terrible disease since
she was five years Of age; she is now seven
teen, and during these eleven years her life has
been a burden. She has been treated by the
best physicians in Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica, lth-
AGA, Owego, Hornellsville, Rochester and other
places, and a fortune has been paid out in the
vain endeavor TO obtain cure, or even relief,
said that her kidneys were nearly destroyed,
that there was no help for her, and she must
abandon all hope of ever being any better.
We finally heard of your SAFE KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and suggested to different physi-
clans that we make a trial of IT. but they
secuted the idea pronounced it humbug and
said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried sew
eral physicians here, but they, like the Others
we're unable to do anything for her. We also
mentioned your remedy to them, and they said
it had a good reputation, and made some re-
markable cures, and encouraged us to give it a
trial; so, as a last resort, we concluded to at
least consult you, and seven weeks ago to-day
| came to your office for that purpose took
home two bottles OF your KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and commenced giving it to her accord
ing to directions, and by the time she had taken
one bottle there was a marked improvement in
her condition: she acquired control Of her urinary
functions, which she had not possessed since
childhood; all bloat subsidized; she began to gain
in good solid flesh, and gained thirteen pounds
in about three weeks. After taking three bot
ties OF the remedy she has, in this short space
Of seven weeks, become fully cured OF what was
regarded hopeless case Of Brights Disease.
| wish | could talk with every sufferer from
this fearful disease, and tell them as | cannot in
this letter that know Brights Disease OF the
worst type can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and gratefully
acknowledge that my daughters life and health
is due to the use Of that remedy.
Yours truly,
Mrs NJ. j. CRANE,
No. Edinburgh Street
Being the subject of the above testimonial,
and express my gratitude to whom it may be
due for recovery from this terrible affection,
and to recommend similar sufferers to make
use Of the same remedy that did.

NEW YORK LETTER.
A Dallas Man Looking Through an

NEW YORK, March I. 1850.
The dramatic and musical benefit in aid of
the Herald relief fund at the Academy of
Music, on March 4, was the acknowledged
sublime climax of theatrical events for the
season, realizing the handsome sum of So, 500
above all expenses for the aid of Erin, such a
brilliant array of talent having seldom been
placed on the stage at one time before
even in the great city of New York. As an
evidence of this fact every ticket was sold
four days before the benefit, and thousan DIS
were turned away who wished to so.
The programme indicated Edwin Booth
in "Hamlet," third act, with John Daily
and fifteen olhcr luminaries Of the same
magnitude assisting, followed by the inimita-
bic Ole Bull, with his violin, and Nine.
Chaterton Bohrer, the English harpist.
Part second gave the third act of "Othello,"

being j. G. McCollum and others of a like
ilk, followed by Annie Louise Cary and

and Signor Campsnini were repeatedly re-
called. 1t is needless TO say the writer Of this
was enraptured with this rare treat, being
comfortably ensconced in psrquette chair,
surrounded by such profusion of glittering
diamonds, satin de Lyons dresses, seal skin
closks and such lovely millinery. Between
acts he sssidously employed his time in dis
secting that millinery, bringing it to close
quarters with the aid of an opera-glass;
went down in the city the very next day;
bought some just like it, and shipped it to
Texas. He will be pleased to have the
