SHAMEFUL soUANDERiNG OF PUBLIC
MoNEY-MArrER FOR FARMERS
TO CONSIDER.

The Farmers High School of Penn.
sylvania," afterwards the agricultural
College OF Pennsylvania" and now the
"Pennsylvania State College was or
ganized under act of Incorporation,
July 13, 1854. The farm upon which
the college is built is located in Centre
county, and was a free gilt for the pur-
pose by General James Irwin. One
year after the first meeting of the board
of trustees, the State Agricultural So
ciety cave of its fund to the Farm
School $4,000. This was followed by
a donation of equal amount from the
citizens of Centre county, and by one
from friends of the institution through
out the State of S25,000.
In 1857 the first application for State
aid to the school was made and an APP
preparation of $50,000 was secured. In
1861 an additional appropriation was
made by the Legislature of $4,000,
making in all to this date, exclusive of
the farm property, the sum of Sl44,-
900.
In 1862 the act of Congress giving
certain government lands to agricultur-
al institutions was passed, and during
the session of 1868 the Legislature ac-
cepted the land granted by Congress in
behalf of the Agricultural College OF
Pennsylvania. This land after being
sold netted the College 99.ls6,s0, an
income from which it first received in
1868. From 1868 to 1872 interest was
received by the college from its land
scrip bonds amounting annually to S26,-
351.1O. The number of students in
attendance from the time of the open
ing of the college in 1859 to the lst of
January, 1872, as shown by college cat
alogues, averaged yearly 1l2-the av-
erage cost to each student for college
expenses was $l20 annually, so that the
statement of receipts up to 1872, from
various sources, by the college would
be as follows :

An Incident and Its Application.

A party of sailors visited the Zoo
logical Gardens. One of them ex-
cited by liquor, as an act of bravade
to his companions, took hold of a
deadly serpent. He held it up, hav-
ing seized it by the neck in such a
way that it could not sting him. As
he held it, the snake, unobserved by
him, coiled itself around his arm. and
at last got a firm grasp and wound
tighter and tighter, SO that he was
unable to detach it. AS the pressure
of the snake increased, the danger
grew, and at length the sailor was un-
able to retain his hold on the neck of
the reptile, and was compelled to
lose it. What did the snake then do?
1t turned and stung him, and he died.
So it is with the appetite for strong
drink, we can control it at first, but
in a little while it controls us. We
can hold its influence in our grasp for
a while, SO that it shall be powerless;
but afterwards dit biteth like a SER
pent, and stingeth like an adder

The Ram at Church.

Mollie had a little ram. fleece black
as rubber shoe, and everywhere that
Mollie went he emigrated to.
He went with her to church one
day--the folks hilarious grew to see
him walk de-mure-ly in Deacon Aliens
pew
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passions rise, and gave it an
unchristian kick between the sad
brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle;
the deacon followed fast, and raised
his foot again, but ah that first kick
was his last
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back
about a rod tits said, and ere the
deacon could retreat, it stood him on
his head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere sheep, but several
well directed butts just piled them in
a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for
the door with curses long and loud,
while rammy struck the hindmost
man and shot him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the fercest
beast-"Ah!" then he said, "l'll try
that game on you"
And so he kindly, gently called,
"Come rammy, rammy, ram ; to see
the folks abuse you SO, l grieved and
sorry am !"
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down,
saying, rammy, rammy, ram ; ram,
rammy, rammy, rammy, ram-best
sheep in the town.
The ram looked meek, and on he
came, with, Granny, rammy, ram
ram, ramnly. rammy, rammy, ram
the nice pretty ram"
The ram quite dropped its humble
air, and rose from off his feet, and
when the parson lit he lay beneath the
hindmost seat.
As he shot out the open door, and
closed it with slam, he named a Cal.

Rum In Politics.

The Cleveland Leader prints the
following communication, which, it
says, is from a Detroit lawyer of
Democratic birth and breeding:
To the Editor of the Leader.
l have been watching the temper
ance and Sunday agitation in Ohio
with some interest, and could not find
it in my heart to rejoice over the re-
verses of the Republican party ap-
parently resultant from the passage of
the Pond bill and Smith Sunday law.
| believe that the day has come when
the rum power at the polls should be
broken and politicians should be
made to understand, and that most
emphatically, that temperance and
Christian men propose to take a hand
in shaping the politics of parties and
debating nominations hereafter. IF
/ hear rightly the Republican party
of Ohio proposes to take the bull by
the horns and accept the issue forced
upon it by the saloonists and Sabbath
decorators. If this is true my SYM
pathies are with it. The overthrow Of
the rum power in politics must result
in the downfall Of the ward-striker
and hummer, who usually absorb
more money in a campaign than is
expended on the platform and press
combined. This will be an immense
blessing to US as a people in more
ways than me-. The great demand
of the hour is a candid, unbiased and
uninterested discussion and consider
alton of men and measures as the
only legitimate method of election
eering, and in the way of the attain
ment Of this desirable object the bar
and hummer stand. They. must be
disposed of. / Inn glad that affairs
are taking this shape. The issue
squarely made and fought out, and
there can be but one final result-the
utter rout and humiliation Of the rum
power at the polls. The arrogance of
the liquor seller is such as must arouse
the wrath of every honest-thinking
voter, and a campaign in Ohio with
"Sobriety and the Sabbath for the
battle cry can end in no other way
than to land the party taking this side
of the question high and dry on top
of a majority Of anywhere from $1,000
to 10000.

The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-06-02
the farms reported in 1880, a,44I,a7I

the farms reported in 1886, 2,44r,a7I
were occupied by their owners, 2Io,-
84a were rented for money, and 49,
Coz were rented on shares. The
number sof o farms exceeding 100
acres each in the thirty-one States
and Territories are classified as fol-
lows: o to 500 acres, 1873, 222;
500 to 100 acres; Al, 749; more than
1000 acres; $1,000. There are sew
eral important and hopeful conclus-
ions suggested by these facts. One is
the vast and rapidly growing extent
of the agricultural interests of the
country. 1t is upon these interests,
in a very large degree, that the mater
ial wealth of a country, and not only
this, but the stability of it's i%nstitu-
tons, rests. A people who are
anchored to the soil are apt to have
a love Of home and a love of country
which make them the best Of citizens
and the poorest material for political
agitators. Another good sign is the
very large proportion of farms ecu
pied by their owners--2,44I,a7I out
of 3,Ia4,7ao; and of the remaining
number, the 473,6o7 farms cultivated
on shares might almost be reckoned in
the same category, this arrangement
being nearly equivalent to a divided
ownership, and the c~ultivators in
these cases being men who are likely
to be c%ultivating wholly on their own
account, as soon as they have OBJ
tanned a fair start. Another notice
able fact is the small number, rela-
lively, of very large farms-a fact
which should help to allay uneasiness
about prospective land monopolies.
The State which is worst off in this
particular is California. OF the 49,
36o farms of more than 1000 acres
each, 1880 are in California. A large
part of the others are in the Southern
States, where the great plantations of
the slave period are not yet broken
up. Thus, Mississippi has 1883 such
farms, North Carolina has 1921, Vir-
ginia has 1868, Louisiana 1919 and
Kentucky Lila; no other State has
SO many as 1000. These facts show
that the relations of landlord and ten
ant as bearing upon our agricultural
development are almost mil, and also
that the existence of great landed pro-
prietors is not, and is not likely to be,
a peril. In view of such facts as
these, it is not surprising that the OPP
p~ortunities which this country offers
to industrious tillers of the soil should
prove well-nigh irresistible to the
over-taxed, rent ridden and army
cursed peoples of Europe.

Are drunkards never permanently
reformed? Yes; let us rejoice hat a
few Of the vast number are saved,
''yet as by fire." They are an ex.
ceedingly small minority. Out of
those who are received into church
membership a very large proportion
have their subsequent falls, and of
these many are never restored to
sobriety. l have spent a vast deal of
labor upon the attempted reforma.
ton Of inebriates, quite a large num-
Der of those who have sincerely
proposed to be renewed by the
} Divine Spirit" l have received into
church membership. Out of all this
number l a recall only one who
has never had a single relapse
since he united with the church.
Several have fallen often and been
restored. Others have precipitated
themselves into hopeless drunken
ness, and sunk to rise no more
This is a painful statement to pub
lish, but | do it under a strong con.
viction Of duty, l do it as a solemn
warning to every one-within the
Church and without it--of absolute
peril of tampering with any and
every intoxicant. l do it in order to
emphasize the fact, that the only
absolute safeguard against drunken
ness is entire abstinence. No living
man, no, not even any minister of
of Christ is completely safe from the
risk of being who is play
ing with this treacherous serpent.
REV. THEODORE CUYLER.
To build a barrier between the
polluted lips and the intoxicating
cup, is the great work we aim at;
therefore we are compelled to battle

The appetite for drink increases
because alcohol is very thirsty for
water. AS it goes down the throat
it absorbs all the moisture and leaves
the throat dryer than it was before.
Thus alcohol creates a thirst that
water will not quench.

be the total amount but for the

this subject in the economical light

About Alcohol.
BISHOP WARREN.

AS a substance, alcohol rs always
the same in every mixture ofliquor,
however prepared or wherever you
may find it. l think this is the first
conclusion that should be impressed
upon the people. Just as In apple is
an apple, and a half-dozen apples
represent those particular apples,
though you may mix them up with a
basket full of potatoes, or other fruits,
they are still apples. So the par
ticles of alcohol are still alcohol and
cannot be anything more or less,
whether they are in brandy, wine
whiskey, or wherever they are found.
People are sometimes led into mis-
takes by this term "compound OF
ALCOHOL" 1t is not in a chemical
sense that alcohol is ever COM
pounded. The particles of alcohol
are free wherever they are found.
Whether they are few or many,
whether it forms one-tenth or nine
tenths of a liquid; where these parts
are placed they are still alcohol.
The liquid may be irritant and zorro
sive, if the alcohol is unmixed, or il
may be in SO small a proportion as
not to be noticed. The painter uses
lamp-black. He mixes it up with
some linseed oil or %turpentine. 1t
is just the same lamp-black. Mix a
little of it with white or red paint,
it does not look like lamp-black, but
it is still lamp.black. The particles
Of it are unchanged though the gen.
Gal effect to the eye may be very
much modified.
