some time since IN speaking of one
of the sons of his old master. His
tone indicated most clearly that in
his opinion the young man had act

sion a collegiate training was worth
Less as a preparation forthe farm.
Perhaps like most of his newly lib
Grated brethren, he thought that
every one who can read, write and
cipher should either "wag his
head in a pulpit" or flourish
the rod OF instruction over
the heads of young travellers
along the pathway of knowledge.
We fear the idea has prevailed far
too much with people generally that
any dolt may be farmer. AS mat
ter OF truth we need mind, educated
mind as much in the field as we do
anywhere. If under the new order
of things that has been forced upon
us the agricultural interests of our
country is to be developed up to the
measure of what is needed, farming
must be studied by men capable of
thinking. We no longer have lands
of virgin fertility which will yield
prolific crops with the most SLOW
emily husbandry. We no longer have
laborers whose industry can be relied
upon for every hour in the day and
for every day in the year. Instead
OF these we have exhausted fields
and help the most uncertain and
the most unreliable. These unpro-
pitlous circumstances must be met
by improved modes of culture. The
tiller of the soil must contrive TO

powers of his intellect into play 10

ed with less exercise of muscle. The
small farmer must learn 10 bring
his few acres into a condition that
they will afford him an ample sup
port, without the continuous labor
that will deny him all chances
for improvement. To do all
this he needs intellectual training.
1t may not be that the curricula of
our colleges are the best that could
be devised to fit q young man for
solving the problems presented to a
practical farmer. Ii, however, they
drill him into thinking methodically
and into comparing facts and scru-
tinizing deductions, foundation is
laid upon which he may erect a ma

large number of the young men who
are at college must apply their tai
ents and energies to agriculture, or
it will suffer while the '1earned pro-
fessions" are crowded.

MATTERS AND THINGS.

Where an editor of a newspaper
is attacked in his own Office in such
a way, has he not right to Stay
back?
Arkansas state taxes for 1882 are
as follows: General state tax, !
mill sinking fund tax, mills state
school tax, mills; insane asylum
tax, mill. Total 1t mills on the
dollar.
Nothing annoys the keeper of a
railroad restaurant more than to
have the customer ask in a rather
loud tone of another: "Have they
ever tried plating war ships with
this kind ofsandwiches 2"
There are some cute observers in
New Orlesns. The P,cdyune man
has discovered that the reason why
some of the street lamps burn all
night is because the light is so small
that it is afraid to go out alone.
The editors OF the New Orleans
Ptcdyune and Times Democrat
whose difficulties were thought TO
have been settled in the recent
slaughter-hOuse duel, have renewed
hostl!ities and are again In the midst
OF war of words.
There was time in Philadelphia
when a man could vote as many as
tWenty-seYen times at an election,
Out now, says the Detroit Free Press,
he can't get in over three ballots be-
lore his personal liberty is interfered
with and the sscredness of the ballot
box knocked sky high.
The United Brethren Church was
organized by OEterbein in IVA, in
Baltimore, Maryland, and the first
conference was held in Baltimore in
1883. The latest statistics would
show the following: Organized
churches, 400; members, 1879;
edifices, $3.50.
A statement, prepared by the
Pulaski county clerk, and published
III the Little Rock Gazette, shows the |
expenditure of that county for the |
hscal year just closed to have been
over $4,000. The taxes levied in
Little Rock for 1882 amount to Az
mills on the dollar. The total
amount of judgments against the
county is $500, 1882; the county's
entire Indebtedness ia 1862 $500
the total valuation of all property in
the county is S7y57S. 346.

EVERY YEAR.

The spring has less OF brightness,
Every year;
And the snow n ghastlier whiteness,
Every year;
Nor do summer flowers quicken,
Nor the autumn fruitage thicken,
As they once did, for they sicken
Every year.
It is growing darker, colder,
Every year;
As the heart and grow older,
Every year;
1 care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love 10 less aud less enhancing,
Every year.
or the loaves and sorrows blended,
Every year;
or the charms OF friendship ended,
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me
Until time TO death resign me
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
All how sad to look before us,
Every year;
While the cloud grows darker DER us,
Every year;
When we zee the blossoms faded.
That 10 bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past so more dead faces,
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us
And to come to them entreat as,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell us,
"Eyery year;
"You are more Alone" they tell us,
EVERY year;
"You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year."
Yes! the shores of life are shifting
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting,
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every year:
And Its morning star climbs higher,
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

Berlin Cor. London Telegraph
IL Is not every TREND of monarchy
who approves those traditions
which, as in the house of Hohenzoi-
Tern, exclude the heir apparent and
his consort from participation in
nearly all the important affairs of
The nation, and render it extremely
dlt1cult Tor them to develop and to
manifest such special gifts as they
possess for acquiring the affections
OF their future subjects. The failing
health of the empress and the EN-
peror's great age are, however, at
present giving an opportunity TO the
crown prince aud princess for show
ing in how high degree
they are endowed with all those
qualities and masters in all those
arts that insure popularity to
princes. In welcoming the Grown
Prince of Austria and his young
spouse on their first visit to the Ger
man court, Prince Frederick William
and our Princess Royal are discharg-
ing duty for which they are emf
nentEy fitted. and which the cordial
relations subsisting between the i'm
perlal families of Austria and Ger
many render genuine pleasure for
all concerned. During the DAYS pre-
ceding the imperial visit the Grown
Princess of Germany has been re.

lie and Jewish, as we'll as Protestant,

GELS the rest of the world. III the

charities had been endowed or were
kept up. On another occasion she
alfred herself in the "attila" of her

Count Waldersee, at his side, was
witnessing the man9uvres from the

How Henry clay Used 90 Prepare
Speeches.
John Wentworth


When he deemed it necessary TO
make an argumentative speech, or
what is generally called set speech,
he has his books piled into a carriage,
and with his servant went Just over
the Maryland line to the plantation
of Hon. Charles FL. Calvert, and there
remained in privacy until he was
ready to address the senate. Mr..
Calvert was one of the wealthiest
men and leading agriculturists in the
state of Maryland. Mr. Clay's room
was upon the ground floor upon the
back side of the house, and opened
up on large potico from which
there was magnificent scenery, as at
tractive place as retired states
man could desire, and the freedom of
the plantation was his, with all its
numerous servants, coming and going
arriving and returning, as he pleased.
Mr.. Clay's room there gives noto-
riety to the establishment to this
day. Few strangers at Washington
in the summer time fail to visit it.
1t has ever been the object of the
proprietors to keep this room as he
left it. There are his easy chair,
dressing-gowns and slippers. But
his set or argumentative speeches
were not what gave him character.
He was not like Mr.. Calhoun, when
he made an uninterrupted speech in
the senate, nor like Webster in the
supreme court room. 1t was
for his forensic or disputative tai.
ents that he was distinguished above
all other men. Although the senate
and all the galleries would always
be filed when it was announced that
Mr.. Clay would speak, yet it was
always with the expectation
and hope that some one would IN
terrupt him and grand intellectual
sparring exposition would take
place. OF ali men whom 1 ever
heard never knew one who could
endure so much Interruption and
discuss so many side issues aud fin.
ish his speech with the entire facts
and the entire line of argument
marked outln his mind from the be-
ginning as Nj. Clay. Could the en-
emies of Mr.. Clay have formed q
combination never to interrupt him,
they would have deprived him OF
much of his senatorial glory. The
best speeches of Calhoun, Webster
and Benton were we'll considered,
and read now much as when deliv-
cred. Not so with Mr.. Clay's
best speeches. They were I'M
premeditated, and as much a sur
prise to himself as his audience.
Short hand reporting had not then
reached its present condition. Thus
Clay must suffer with posterity in
capable of hearing varied intona-
tions of his ever-pleasing voice, or of
seeing his gesticulations, his rising
upon his toes, his stamp Of his foot,
his march down the aisles until his
long fingers would almost touch the
presidents desk, and his backward
tread to his seat, all the while speak
ing; his shake of the head, his dang
ling hair, and his audience in the
galleries rising aud leaning over so
as to catch every syllable. As an
impromptu, cut-and-thrust debater.

guard, where is your equal OF Henry
