How one Family Managed.

Within week the father and the
three boys were at work in the har-
vest field; the mother become house
keeper in a wealthy family, where
she kept the youngest child with her;
the oldest daughter was still teach
ing school at an increased salary. A
family Farm Company was organized,
it being understooded that every
possible dollar went toward the one
purpose Of buying a home which all
should own. This was the mothers
plan, and its effect was marvellous.
II made men Of the boys; it made
the father forget his former losses; it
frightened the whole out look. Every
cent saved was deposited where it
drew interest. Before long some
leading gentlemen Of the town be-
came interested in the home, buying
plan, Of which they had heard, and
did what they could to procure steady
work for the family. This however,
was seldom needed, for their steadi-
ness and anxiety 10 earn their wages
was remarkable, andthey were soon in
positive demand.
AT the end of the first year the
Home Purchasing Company had
made q creditable showing. The
daughter, teaching at $50 q month,
had sent s400. The three SONS and
father averaged $50 a month apiece,
besides their board, and they had
spent nothing they could help, SO
that $1,000 represented their pile,
while the mother added $3.50. These
items aggregated, together with the
interest, $1,S0S. The beginning was
made.
-Four years Of steady, uncomplain.
ing toll followed. In 1876 their ac-
cumulations, compounded semi-an-
nually at z per cent, amounted to
$6,39072. II would have been more
but for some sickness in the family
They then chose a quarter section
of good, fertile land, lying north Of
San Francisco Bay, in one of the
coast range valleys. The price was
$50 per acre, or $4,000 in all. They
paid sS,0oodown, bought teams, NOV
ed on the place, paid the balance in
one year from the crops and outside
work and are making it one Of the
prettiest farms in that whole region.
This is a truthful account of how
u farm was lost and another gained
in that place by plucky American
family, whose idea Of a "Home-bny.
ing Company" ought to be remember

Good Advice to the south.

The negro question is used quite
as dangerously to the welfare and
peace of the country now as it was
before the war. The southern whites
can escape the question in only one
way, and that is, by sending the ne
groes to the North as fast as possible.
The influx Of white laborers from
the North into the South will begin
as soon as the negroes begin to move
out. The possession of white labor
in abundance in the South will en-
rich and build up that section. The
northwestern States will have the
negro population and the negro ques-
tion in their own hands, and, as they
profess to know the exactly proper
way to deal with the subject, it is
probable that there will at least be
an end Of the negro question in poll
tics The southern States ought to
offer premium to every negro emil
grant to the Northwest.-NcaC Hauen

Evening Parties.

One of the means by which young
people especially find recreation and
entertainment during the winter is
the evening party. Young people
must and will have recreation, and
the evening party is a proper means
of it. Parties should not be of too
frequent occurrence or held late
What we have to say particularly
about parties is, they should be con-
Quoted with method and Judgment,
or they become worse than nothing.

good by arranging proper parties for
their entertainment, :

What Railroads DO.

Here comes another State which is
going to get along without taxation.
The coming report of the Controller
of New Jersey, will show that the
special taxes on railroads and the
funds now invested, the interest of
which is available, will afford sutlic-
lent income to pay all the State ex-
penses forthe coming year, and leave
q surplus, without any State tax.
Governor McClellen is expected to
