learn to read and write, but are many
times less liable to reach Jail or peni-
tentiary than those that are entirely
illiterste.
The history and the progress OF
education furnish the only solid
standards for testing existing sys-
tens. Within the last ten years
great educational activity has been
displayed in Europe. Next to the
Franco Prussian war, the expositions
at Paris, Vienna and Philadelphia
were especially powerful in promot-
ing education. The press, too, has
done much TO assist in spreading in
formation. And wonderful as was
this progress, greater strides than
ever are being taken, and the day is
not distant when it will be impossible
for anyone to escape being educated.

THE HONEST FARMER.
BY MRS. g. I

Come, girls. and listen to my song.
I'll promise You twill not be long.
have secret to impart
All. yes, a secret Of the heart.
Now, don't surmise that I'm In love,
With aught on earth, or just above.
From off my heart IN draw the veil,
And trust to you the simple tale:
] mean to marry-when I can
An upright, honest. farmef-man.
The merchant stands amid his goods;
Exhibits them in various moods;
Now praising that, now praising this.
4 bland smile lighting up his phiz.
No independence can he claim,
But stands each day about the same.
Though he become a millionaire.
merchants wealth III never share.
But will marry-when can
An upright, honest. farmer-man.
The doctor goes his weary round,
He cures the sick. and cures the sound.
He wears brow of anxious care,
And leaves his powders here and there.
He starts at everybody's nod.
And mostly spends his time ab DAD.
Though. far and wide his fame may be,
The doctors not the man for me. .
For I will marry-when can
An upright, honest, farmer-man.
The lawyer, too. may boast OF art,
To win the willy maiden's heart.
If, for advice, OH him you call.
He'll act as though he knew 1t all
And, as he pleads case at law.
And views in every light each flaw.
He may, indeed. be wondrous wise.
He's none the better in my eyes.
For will marry-when can
An upright, honest, farmer man.
The farmer treads his acres broad.
With plow in hand turns DER the sod.
He scatters seed with careful hand.
And studies how to TIL the land.
An independent life Is his.
With no one but himself to please.
A cheerful, happy man Is he.
The farmer has a charm for me,
And l will marry-when l can
An upright. honest, farmer-man.

Mines at Midnight.

An old Ruby Hill, New, miner,
who has had Is years experience
under ground. says that Ire has OBJ
served one peculiar fact that between
IL and O'Clock in the night, if
there is loose stone or bit of earth
in the mines it is sure to fall. Says
he: "About this time it seems that
everything begins to stir, and imme-
diately after IL, although the mine
has been still as a tomb before, you
will hear particles of rock and earth
come down, anil if there is a caving
piece Of ground in the mine it is sure
to give way"

Cure for SMALLPOX,

In view of the fact that the email
pox is raging in several localities in
this State, we publish the following as
cure for this loathsome disease. 1t
was furnished the Liverpool Mercury
by we'll known English physician.

,ion as a public man if the worst case
of smallpox cannot be cured in three

One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved

when cold at short intervals. 1t car

Our Stock Sales.
Prom the Columbia Herald.

Judge w. F. Roberts tells US that
he was at the stock sales at Mexico
last Saturday and that they were
simply immense. From 10 O'clock
in the morning until 5 O'Clock in the
evening the streets were literally
blocked with people. About 400
head of sheep, 500 head of cattle and
large number of horses and mules
were sold. Again for the hundredth
time we, ask why cannot we have
stock sales in Columbia? Will not
our stock men move in this matter

What Shall we Do With Our Daughters? :?
From the Oil City Derrick.
Don't teach them self-reliance. 1t
Is so much easier for them to rely on
some one else.
Don't let them learn how to make
bread. Their beaux might think they
were not we'll bred.
Don't allow them to learn how to
make shirts. 1t is better they should
not know. Then, when they are
married, their husbands can work
twenty hours q day to get money
with which to buy ready-made ones,
while they knit red dogs.
Above all things, don't fail to learn
them how to wear false hair, and il
| your daughter objects to bang her
hair, bang her over the head.
| Don't allow them to learn how to
make their own dresses. 1t is fash
ionable to have dressmaker.
Teach them that dollar is only
one hundred cents and don't amour,
to much.
Don't let them learn how to cock
Should they understand the cuisine
art, and know what is needed in s
family, the servant could not supply
all her relations with edibles.
Teach them to darn their neighbor'
but not stockings.
Don't allow them to learn how II
sew on buttons. They might &c
needles in their fingers,
Teach them to regard the none,
and not the morals of their snitors.
Teach them noae of the mysterie
of the kitchen, the dining room, ant
the parlor.
Teach them that the more on. live
beyond his income the more he vii
save.
Urge them to go with intemperat
young men. 1t is convenient to hav
q drunken husband, as the wife
enabled to take pin money from hi
pocket while he is taking a drunke
snoOze.
Finally, teach them that God, VIII
made them, is an old fogy and mad
them in His image, which necessitate
J tight lacing.

Trimble and Buckner, we had the
pleasure, recently, of visiting the
pleasant little city of Martipsburg.
situated about Is miles east of Mexi-
CO in this county. Audrain is noted
for Its hospitable citizens, fine lands
and pleasant homes. Martinsburg is
in the center of one of the most
agreeable portions of the county, the
land around it being Of the best quail
ity, and some Of our staunchest and
most substantial citizens live in and
around this little village. A new
depot has just been built, which fills
a long felt want. Mr.. Coil has also
lately erected fine hotel. A mill
is now needed badly. A large flour
ing mill would pay well in that part
of the. county. The question now
under consideration among the citi-
zens is, whether or no TO grant license
for saloon. A small amount of
money expended in sidewalks would
add greatly to the benefit of the town
and the convenience Cf the citizens.
We we're highly pleased to meet many
old friends of the LEDGEE-and some
new ones, we trust. We met Mr.. Fish,
formerly with Harper & Turner of this
city, now interested in the general
merchandise business In that "burg."
The Jameson Bros. are clever young
mon, full of life and business-the,
have a good trade. J. r. Haislip
has neat little drug store, and ap-
pears to be thriving. We met our
old friend and ex-assessor T. T. Tor
reyson. We also found NJ. NJ. Corder
full of life and stir. Squire Tapscott,
assisted by Orlando Hit, was hearing
the cases, State vs.. Clark, and the
State vs.. Chrisman, for shooting,
Trimble prosecuting, and Buckner
defending. Both parties were bound
over IN the sum of $500 each, to ap-
pear at the next term of the circul,
court. An amusing circumstance
occurred at the opening of the court.
Constable Owens was told to open
the court and s'call the parties. u
knowing the State of Missouri to be
a party in each case, and after calling
Clark and Chrisman, he proceeded to
call: estate of Missouri, State o.
Missouri, State of Missouri, come
into court!" He called in q lusty
voice, but the State did not appear
except in its representatives.. Med
Trimble. Owens still claims that h.
was correct in calling all parties tt
the suit. This being the case, we in
slst on Constable Owens doing hi.
duty, and bringing in the State deat
or alive. Although we hear many
rumors about Martinsburg, we fount
it to be very quiet, and the citizens
sober, industrious and law-abiding
The trouble all seems to lie in th'
fact that some of the young men-
and old ones, togo armed. Their
is no need of this, and we learn tina
Squire Tspscott is going to put
, stop to it. We secured correspond
) ent at Martinsburg, and several ne'
= subscribers. Martinsburg has neve
been properly represented, and, will
the assistance of its citizens, th
I LEDGER shall in the future be 1t
! champion. We will see that it is no
: misrepresented in any particular.
