The Corn S0ag.

Heap high the farmers hoard.
Heap high the golden corn.
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine, does
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine;
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Ouf harvest fields with snow.
Through wales OF grass and meads
flowers
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
Ofchangeiul April played;
We dropped the seed DER hill an. plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting graf
The robber crows away
All through the long, bright days of Jur
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now, with autumn's moonlit ewes,
It's harvest time has come,
We pluck away tlse frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure hofne.
There, richer than the tabled gift
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall slit
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapid idlers Toll in silk
Around their costly board;
Give us the board of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured!
Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky culs,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bl> SIS our farmer girls?
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly laughs to scorn
The blessing Of our hardy grain,
Our wealth OF golden corn!
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat field to the fly: -.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God!
-Whitfier.

Young Men.

Why is it that SO many young
men would rather deal out sugar,
draw up syrup or measure cloth
than become mechanics? Do they
consider it more honorable TO meas
ure calico, sell tape aud pins, than
to become industrious workmen,
producers of the Nations wealth !?
Do they think that because their
hands are soft and their hair parted
in the middle. that they are any
more respectable than he who la
bors and assists in making the earth
habitable' To the intelligent, dill
gent young man who devotes him
self to the mechanical arts, especi-
ally in the South, there is a bound
less field that will bring a rich re-
ward. Fame and fortune beckon
him onward in his career. His
hands may be hard and soiled, it
matters not A stain on the hands
can he easily removed, far easie r
than the stain which shows on SO
many Of those who dispise manual
labor A stain on the hand or the
coat is far better than stain upon
the reputation.

John A. Phelps, OF Connecticut,
according to the Farmer. Of that
State, inculcates in his boys, love
of country life and the paternal
acres in this way: He rents them
plots Of ground for potatoes and to-
matoes; sells them manures to en-
rich their crops, taking pay in labor;
teaches them to make their own
sales. keep their own accounts and
carry their own scrip, etc. This
may answer when fathers have not
learned TO teach their sons to be in
dustrious and intelligent in the
management of business affairs
without, at the same time, irnbning
them with a spirit Of selfish ness
The proposition is the very oppo-
site OF cooperation, which ought
to be the very essence of moral, so
cial and business life in the family.
In this connection, parents and
children alike should be taught to
saw, and act, and feel that these
things are ours never that any
thing is mine" Whenever prOp-
erty of any kind is set apart as be-
longing to one member Of the fami-
ly, no matter which one, it begets
spirit of jealousy, rivalry and sci
fshncss. where of all places there
should be loving kindness, accord
and unselfshness. Parents should
teach their children TO know and
feel that the family are unit, are
as one, and what enures to the benz
eft of the individual should enure
for the benefit of alI-The One

The Farmers True Position.

Ii there 10 anything in precedent
or analogy, the farmeri is the corner
stone of society; for the primal man
date to man was, "Replenish the
earth and subdue it," and, in all
ages, the tillers of the soil have been
not only the most numerous but
the most important class Of he pops
ulatiop. 1t is truth that all other
classes Of men are merely conven-
lent, and not necessary. In the
early stages of civilization, he per-
forms are the labor in every depart
ment of life. The other vocations
come as middle steps--bridges TO
make transit easier, If we nay be
allowed that illustration.
But the farmer has permitted
some other people to pass him in
the race, so far as intellectual i'm
prcvement is concerned, and it is
not at all complimentary to him
that he permits, oltentimes, the most
useless of all men, the crossroads
politician, to direct his affairs and
lead him about as if by the nose.
The true position of the farmer is
at The head not at the rear of the
column. He furnishes the food,
clothing, ammunition and trans
portation for the army, as well as
about three-fourths of the soldiers.
La this country nearly, if not quito,
that proportion OF the whole PEG
pie live directI Y Oh farms. The far
mers, if combined as class could
carry every general election; could
have a majority in Congress, in
every State Legislature, and one OF
their own number in every county
office outside Of the large cities.
But the farmer is not in the lead.
Will every one who reads this ask
himself why that is true? The an
swer is very near and simple, Far
mers, as a rule, neglect their own
and childrens' education. Every
farmer family may have few books
and newspapers. There is not a
man or WOMAN anywhere, speaking
in general terms, that can not find
an hour day on an average to
read or listen to reading. Every
farmer ought to keep his family
supplied with reading matter, both
standard and current, and keep
himself well posted in all important
affairs. Every farmer ought to
know how to call puu,;c meeting
to order, and to address il ln.eill-
gently after it is organized.
We will refer often to this subject
for it is vital. The farmer will
never command his proper position
until be trains himself better intel
lectually and socially. This paper
will aim to help him In that respect
every week:-Kansas Farmer.

A special to the st. Louis Republic
can informs US that the members of
the New York Cotton Exchange have
recently been making estimates of the
present years crop. It is put by
some at 100000 bales, and by 9TH
ers at 5,175,000 bales, The esti-
mates range between these two state
ments. A more moderate estimate
and one based on the best informa-
ton that can be obtained from the
cotton belt, puts the crops at $780,
600 bales. The correspondent of the
Republican intimates that the last
named estimate is thought by good
many Cotton men to be the nearest
the truth.
The Cotton Exchange at New
York is certainly In very good posi-
ton to obtain full and accurate infor-
nation. It has an advantage in this
respect over any exchange in the
South. having sources of knowledge
through reports of intelligent CORE =
pondents in every part of the Cotton
belt. When therefore many of them
connected with it put the crops a.
5,175, 900 bales, and at the same time
many others put it at 4 100000 We
can safely conclude that the crop i,
remarkably short 1t has turned oui
elsewhere as it has in this immediate
locality When it is considered thai
the area planted this year was largely

comparing the yield of last year with
the estimated yield of this, it will bt
