the good faculties of man were given

When the farmer is named-it is the
honest farmer-let him not be asham.
ed of it. Honesty is the best policy"
If he is industrious, he is right and
does his duty. All he need require
IS an open field and fair play. He
wants nothing more than his dues,
and is willing to pay fair price for
all he buys. Give him his own and
be asks no boot. Therefore, when |
speak to farmers, l speak as | believe

What loads are Good For.

French industry and sagacity take
lead OF the world in little things, if
nothing more. Toad culture is a reg,
ular business there with the economic
people, and the demand for toads is
great and increasing. The usual lit
tie animals are employed as insect de-
stroyers, not only in the gardens of
that country, but thousands are pack
ed down in baskets Of damp moss and
sent to other countries 70 be sold to
gardeners. The more observing hor.
ticulturists and tloriculturists have
long been aware of their value as in
sect destroyers, and have utilized
them to a greater or less extent. And
it is not much to the credit of Ameri
can gardeners or farmers that they
have not recognized the service of this
helpful and innocent reptile. Nature
conducts her operations by reciprocal
means; and, if she gives us the hurtful
creatures to eat up our crops, she also
gives US the birds; toads, etc., to eat
up the insects.
The farmer should keep an eye open
on nature, seek to make her manifold
operations helpful, instead of casting
in the way Of destroying
her agents. The successful farmer
has great need to be good, economic
naturalist. Many things as loathsome
looking as the toad are the best of
friends.

CONGRATULATIONS.
addressed to Rev. Dr. Locke, Youngstown,
Ohio, upon his heroic, Christian dep;rt-
mint, recently displaced

Blcst man of God devoutly just,
Still live above all sordid dust,
Thy Masters work perform each day
With dauntless zeal his foes gainsay
Down-troddcn toll some Nathan needs,
Who will expose vile Mammon deeds;
May courage prompt thee to assail
All foes Of labor in detail.
The number lcgions rs of yore,
Who feed ON fraud and human gore;
Imperatives hey will decline,
Though not avCrse TO dwell in swine.
Ephcmeral are the lives of each
They have few Nathans now to teach
In pseudoisms they nightly revel,
Expunging he'll and dreaded devil.
Elysium's brig hit with carnal hopes;
! They build higher than steeple tops;
/ VAN sophist's lingo is their guide;
The Book of God they oil dcridc.
BE thou Nathan in thy day
, Exhort-rcbuke all kinds of clay
Allow no rank to weigh thee down
Despisc the glitter of renown
| The workingmen of this great nation
Are now obtaining education;
Inhuman wolves must seek their den
When Nathan says thou art the men J"
Lord, grant us Ngthans here and there,
Who will display jealous care
Der honest, sober working man;
Thwarting every gorgeous plan
Star of Brooklyn, now lewdly dned-
Thy splcndors gone,thy requicm's hymn d;
Wen throw mantle over thee;
Rest if you can--se let il be
Toi thou hast crushed and eften tossed ;
| We mourn thee not we've 10th ng lost
Save that find wIsh--thou mighist have
been
A loyal, lowly Nazarenc.
Wei, leave thee in thy squatted lair,
Shorn of thy strength and cody dare
Let Gath lament-Goliah's gone
Some Israelite has flung stone.
Let Philistia mourn or cXccratC;
Their loss no doubt will soon be great;
Then marble slabs will likely tell
How their best chief, unvanquished, fell
Ofchristian virtues uncomparcd,
Which death and hell had ever dared
For hun an woes had sympathizcd,
Orphans and widows ne'cr dcspised,
Let Labor lift her head on high,
For fallen greatness merely sigh =
Sh d no vain tears Tut simply say
An erring murtal's pas ed way
Dcsroni thou not, worn sons of toll
With patience wait little while,
The L ord of Tzabaoth hears thy cry,
And will deliver byo-and-bye
Let Nathans work with tongue and pen
In town ANA city, hill and glen
Lord, giant MS suile'ess, cody men,
Such Us friend Locke amen ! amen!
