Large and Small Farming.

The October number of Scribner's Monthly
contains an interesting paper on The New
South" by Sidney Lanier, sketching par
ticularly the rise of diversified farming on a
small scale in the southern states Follow
ing are a part of the authors general re-
Elections: "a very brief train of thought
brings US upon a situation, as between the
small farmer on the one hand and the cor
poration on the other, which reveals them as
embodying two tendencies in the republic
at this moment, whose relations it is the
business Of craftsmanship and of citizenship
to understand with the utmost clearness,
since we are bound to foster both of them.
For, if we stop our ears to the noisy child's
play of current politics, and remember first
that in all ages and countries two spirits, or
motives, or tendencies, exist which are es-
sentially opposed to each other, but both of
which are necessary to the state; second
that the problem of any given period or
society is to recognize the special forms in
which these two tendencies are then and
there embodying themselves, and to KEEP
hem in such relations that neither shall
crush, while each shall healthily check, tht
other third, that these tendencies may b,
called the spirit of control and the spirit o
independence, and that they are so init
mately connected with the two undeniabl
facts which lie at the bottom of moral be
havior-namely, the facts of influence from
without on the one hand, and free will OF
the other-that the questions of morals an,
of politics coalesce at their roots fourth
that these two tendencies are now mos
tangibly embodied among us in the corpora
ton and the small farmer-the corporatio
representing the spirit Of control, and tn
small farmer representing in many curiou
ways, the spirit of independence fifth, ths
our republic vitality needs the corporatio
for the mighty works which only the co
poration can do, while it as vitality need
the small farmer for the pure substance
individual and self-reliant manhood whic
he digs out of the ground, and which, IL
experience Of all peoples would seem
show, must primarily come that way and 1
other, we are bound TO conclude that IL
practical affair in the United States at IL
present juncture is TO discover how we ms
cherish at once the corporation and Il
small farmer into the highest state of col
petitive activity, less by oonstitution-strai
ing laws, which forbid the corporation
do this and that, or which coddle the smf
farmer with sop and privilege, than by q
fording free scope for both TO adjust thel
selves, and by persistently holding souI
moral principles to guide the adjustmeI
When, therefore, we behold the large far
as detection from the farm-party in &c
eral-whioh represents individuality in t
state-over TO the corporation party, who
existence is necessarily based upon such
lations TO employees as impair their in
viduality, we regard with all the more
terest the rise of the small farmer, m
occurring in ali opposite direction so {
portunely as to seem as II nature hers
were balancing the northwest with
southeast"

The DEVILS Five Degrees.


One of the most numerous of the great
classes of civilized society is the ID. o. o.
d., which may be otherwise expressed as
the Dependent Order of Drunkards. 1t
comprehends persons of all grades and
classes of society. 1t draws its member
ship from bar and pulpit, from forum and
senate; but, differ as they may in position,
in education, in social surroundings, ability
or culture, they are brought into one fel-
lowship and reduced to one common level.
We lay before the reader the five principal
degrees of the ID. o. O. ID.
First, we see the young man, intelligent,
courteous and polite, accepting the cup at
the hand Of some young lady, and drinking
her health in liquor that ruins his own.
Well dressed, respectable, with fair prom
Use and bright prospects before him, we see
nothing that should hinder him from rising
to the highest stations and occupying the
most influential positions, were 1t not for
that cup which contains within itself the
promise and power of all sorrow, degrade
ton, shame and death.
The scene shifts, and another degree is
taken; and he who learned his first lesson
in the parlor of the gay and refined has
taken another in the gilded saloon, where
jovial visitors accompany, and vulgar jokes
and nameless vices wait to drag the unwary
victim of intemperance down to the tomb.
A little later we see him again; a third
degree is taken; he drinks deeply, and his
battered hat, buttonless vest, patched gar.
ments and'look Of general seediness tell to
us the effect Of the maddeniDg poison upon
him.
A short journey brings him to another de-
gree. The relics of his old gentility are
gone coatess and ragged his shaking hand
and gross and redeemed countenance show
that he has drunk up everything which
made life Joyous, or this world place of
peace and blessing.
zone more degree shows us what strong
drink will do for the strongest man. No
man was ever mighty enough to wrestle with
the bottle. He is always thrown at last.
His body mass of bloated disease his heart
den of foul and beastly passions, his couii-
tenance marred and sensualized beyond all
power Of description; in rags and tatters,
homeless aud friendless, he travels his short
Journey to the darkness of the tomb. Some
day the tidings come that he is found dead
dead by the wayside, with the bottle in
his pocket; dead in the snowdrift, coming
home from drunken debauch dead in his
wretched howell, with no one to smooth his
dying pillow or minister to him in his clos
ing hours. The end has come; the warn
ings of God and man have been in vain !;
he has passed through the varying degrees
of evil habit; he has been initiated into the
mysteries OF Satan's lodge; and at last his
existence is wrecked, his life is lost, and he
awaits the sentence of that mighty Judge
who has taught us that no drunkard shall
inherit the kingdom of heaven.

PRAYER as a Power Of Real Life.

Christians often have little faith in prayer
as power in real life. Any unperverted
mind will conceive of the scriptursl idea of
prayer as that of one OF the most downright,
sturdy realities in the universe. 1t has, and
God has determined that it should have, a
positive and appreciable influence in direct
ing the course OF a human life. 1t is, aud
God has purposed that it should be, a link
of connection between human mind and di-
vine mind, by which, through his infinite
condescension, we may actually move his
will. 1t is. and God has decreed that it
should be, power, as distinct, as real, as
natural, and as uniform, as the power of
grayitation, or of light, or Of electricity. A
man may use it as trustingly and as soberly
as he would use either of these. "Good
prayers" says Leighton, "never come weep
lug home. am sure shall receive either
" hat ask, or what should ask."--Pheips

TRuE greatness shows itself in ignoring
or quickly forgetting personal injuries, when
meaner natures would be Kept in unrest by
them. The less of a man one is, the more he
makes of an injury or an insult The more
of man he is, the less he is disturbed by
what others say or do against him without
cause.

| help them out. A community of Christian
farmers who know how to improve stock
and make farm pay, who on hard soil will
get good living and keep their own houses
neat and trim, will let the house of God be-
come shabby and the church die out, because
as farmers they work, but as Christians they
do not work. What our churches and our
communities most need is not more talent
or more truth, or more money, or more OPP
portunities, but downright and upright earn
est work. 1t takes but few people, little
money and small culture to build up a
church when people have mind to work.
The curse of the church to-day is a lazy
membership, seeking to be saved without
work, forgetting that faith without works is
dead.-GOlden Rule.

Lazy Christians.

There are few in every church who are
willing to work, and do work. You hear of
them among the poor and sick you find
them in the prayer-meeting, and see them in
all church activities. They are always will.
ing to do more than their part. You can
rely upon them every time. But the major
ity of professors seem surprised that you
should expect any work from them. They
come into church to enjoy religion, not to
help others-to be saved, not to work. AS
for visiting the sick, feeding the poor, gath
ering in destitute children or speaking to
the unsaved, they never try it," have no
gift for it," and so pay their money, hear
the sermon, enjoy the singing, try to be re-
spectacle, and call that religious living,
without making single personal endeavor

The St Paul Daily Pioneer Press has come
out enlarged and in new dress. 1t now
contains fifty six columns, and is, in our opin-
ion, the best newspaper in the world. The
Chicago and Eastern newspapers are usually
regarded rs superior to any others, principally
because they are printed in Chicago or the
East, and represent large amount of capital;
but when they are examined on their merits
only, not one Of them will stand favorable
comparison with the Pioneer Press. The
fact, the entire list of New York papers. are
much inferior to the Chicago papers, and these
again are inferior to the Pioneer Press, The
telegraphic news IN all these papers is mostly
the same, but the capacity Of the editors to
write interesting editorials, to select, prepare
and arrange the local aud general news, and
to make the paper as whole the most inter-
esting and entertaining, is what determines
the merits Of the newspapers. The editorials
of the Pioneer Press arc always the ablest ex-
ponents Of tho Principles advocated to be
found anywhere; and that paper, as the rep
resentative Of stalwart Republication, is the
ablest sheet in the United States. 1t is nearly
always in favor Of the rings and monopolies,
and the principles advanced in its editorial
columns are such that we can seldom agree
with them; but the language is always ele-
CANT, more so than can be found in any other
newspaper. In the statement ofhistorical and
statistical matters, errors are very seldom
found in the editorial columns. We claim
that no very gross blunder Of this kind can
occur in paper that We read without our be-
ing very likely to detect it, and we pronounce
tie Pioneer Press the most accurate paper in
the world in this respect. We write this
without any expectation of, or desire for, any
favors from the managers Of that paper. We
have heretofore referred to the fact that the
