True Enough.

In writing to the Country Gen
tleman," John H. Dent, of Georgia,
says: ''People may talk of political
science, and the expert manage
ment of the politicians, and the fl
nancial skill of the secretary of the
national treasury, but for what the
government is in wealth and great
ness, it is indebted to the pillow and
nothing else. Agriculture and
commerce sustain the country.
Farmers, as a class, are not given
that credit which they are entitled
to as the factors of American
wealth and the place she occupies
among other nations. Let the
plow fall, and it will be seen what
railroad stocks, and other stocks
that make millionaires, will be
worth. | have noticed for forty
years the progress of men engaged
in the various pursuits, and farmers,
as a class (although few make large
fortunes at farming), hold their
own better than any other class.
Generally, what they get they keep,
and they live at ease, in comfort and
independence, throughout all the
crashes, and failures that take place
among business men. Most young
men seem to think farming mental
occupation, when the truth is the
love of company and fine dressing
are the allurements of town life,
not taking into consideration that
all town employments are uncertain
and dependent on circumstances
A farm. paid for and well managed,
is the safest investment that can be
made. True, there is no rapid for
tune to be made by farming, but il
insures to a man Of industry and
prudence a living Of comfort and
independence l advise all young
men to embark in farming if they
desire a peaceful and happy life
Among the great objects of the
Grange, none are of more impor-
lance than 70 make life upon the
farm not only more profitable finan
cially, but to make it still more re-
spectacle and desirable, and tina
none should hold higher position
than a well educated, practica
farmer and his family.

Many of those who have taken
foremost rank in the circles of
business, Of thought and of re-
form, have come from homes sup

be. For those who have been
brought up exclusively in drawing
rooms. intelligence is name, re
creation; for those who have held
the sword or the helm. who have
driven the pillow or worked with the
chisel, intelligence becomes pas
sion. force, worship, and love
divine. 1t is from the stall, the shop,
the workroom, that the most pow
erful minds have issued-Moliere
from the upholsterer's, Burns from
the farmers, Shakespeare from the
hosier's, Rosseau from the wheel
wright's. Long engaged in strug,
ole with nature, they all took refuge
in the free domain of thought. On

The Right saust Win.
BY THE REV. F. w. FABER.

BY THE REV. F. W. FABER.
O, it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take His part
Upon this battlefield of earth,
And not sometimes lose heart.
He hides Himself so wondrously.
A S though there were no God;
He is least seen when all the powers
OF i'll are most abroad.
Or He deserts us at the hour
The fight is all but lost,
And seems to leave us to ourselves
lust when we need Him most.
III masters good, good seems to charge
TIC i'll with greatest ease;
And, worse than all, the good with gooc
Is at cross purposes
All! God is other than we think;
His ways are far above,
Far beyond reasons height, and reached
Only by childlike love.
WorkmeL of God, o. lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battle field
Thou shalt know where to strike.
Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
is most invisible.
Blest, too, is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie.
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to mans blindfold eye.
For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin!

AIR-Hold the Fort.
Come, friends and brethren, all unite
In songs of hearty cheer;
Our cause speeds onward in its might;
Away with doubt and fear.
Well hold the fort, triumphant band,
Resolved on victory;
We give the pledge, we join the hand,
And strike for liberty.
Oppression shall not always reign;
There comes brighter day,
When freedom, burst from every chain,
Shall have triumphant sway.
Well hold the fort, etc.
When right shall over might prevail,
All honest men we want,
And truth, like hero armed in mail,
Keep secret inside work.
Well hold the fort, etc.
The hour of triumph comes apaCe,
The blessed promised hour,
When earth upon ransom'd race
Her bounteous gifts will shower.
Well hold the fort, triumphant band
Resolved on victory;
We give the pledge, we join the hand

How Russia Is Governed.

The governing forces of Russia are
very imperfectly understood in this
country. Among these governing bod
les is, in the first place, the Council Of
State. Composed of the highest digni-
taries Of the Empire, all appointed by
the Gear, this body plays the role Of a
legislature. 1t is supposed that all the
laws of the country are framed by it.
but, In fact. nothing Of the kind ever
takes place. The council is not an as.
sembly Of legislators; 1t is rather NJ
asylum for the ex-ministers and ex-gen-
erals who. through age and infirmities,
have become unit for active service.
If, p%erchance. m energetic and ambi-
tious person enters this discrepit coun.
Gil ho may easily acquire q great inHu-
ence. Then comes the governing SEN
ate. the highest judiciary tribunal in
Russia When he created the senate,
Peter the G.eat left ut its disposal the
imperial crown itself. But. as the sem
ators were not elected but appointed by
the Gar. thoy naturally became the
obedient tools of the administration,
and soon lost all political power. Now
the enate Is nothing but q mere wheel
in the complicated bureaucratic ma
chine. His majesty's own chancellery,
formerly composed Of the four sections,
must not be overlooked. 1t is true, the
chancellery has lost its prestige (and
mos. Of Its odium) since the abolition
of the third section-thc Russian inqui-
sition. But its dreadful power may be
resurrccted at any time. though per.
haps in a different shape. The chief Of
the state police naturally becomes the
master of the Gar, and, therefore, he
stands above the laws Of the country.
The minister Of the interior is ut pres
ent the chief Of the state police, and,
therefore, the minor Czar-that Is, the
real ruler OF the country. The com.
mittee of ministers has absorbed the
powers both of the council and of the
senate. As the ministers are %irrespon.
si,le. each Of them Is o real autocrat
in his own branch Of the government.
And, as there are no well defined limits
between the different branches, there
is 10 end of collisions and wars in tho
administration, and there Is no ade.
quate authority to settle rival ministers.
al pretensions. The Gar. council, sem
alto and ministers can merely issue
uliases and orders, whereas the judg-
ment of tho ukases and orders is the
special function of q strong and we'll
organized body called the bureaucracy.
The Russian bureaucracy is an omnip-
otent, ubiquitous, omniscient institu-
ton. In the Cars country nothing
can be done without the bureaucratic
machine, and everything is done in the
way prescribed by the machine. The
b%ureaucrats form q caste by themselves.
and no individual minister or Gear can
change the traditions and character OF
this caste. Philadelphia Telegraph.
