Farmers Institute.

A series of lectures upon topics rela-
ting to farming and farm life is being
delivered by members of the faculty and
well-known experts at the Ohio State
University, Columbus. The institute is
largely attended by farmers and their
sons, and the eminently practical value
of the lectures is universally conceded.
They are being stenographieally report
ed exclusively for the Ohio State Jour-
nal. and will be published in the Thurs
day daily editions of that paper, and al
so in its weekly. This latter is one of
the best papers in the country, and the
subscription price being but one dollar,
affords fine opportunity for those who
do net attend the lectures to secure
them at trifling cost. The fist lecture
te be published is that of Prof. Town
send on Drainage, and will appear in
the Weekly State Journal of January
goth, to be regularly followed by the
balance of the conrse. The Ohio State
Journal Co., Columbus, Ohio, is the
proper address.

Fence Posts.

White oak is better for fence posts
than white cedar. According to. eXpe-
rience and observation, the best way to
preserve them is, after they are well
seasoned to boil the end which goes
into the earth in coal tar. Another
method. said to be better. is to bore a
hole into the post above the earth line
and fill it with coal oil, and after the
oil is absorbed put some more in and
then plug I'D the hole.

Often while yet the morn is req,
I list for eur masters eager tread.
He smiles at the young cOrn's towering

Bot he glances not at the fallow heio
whose idle acres no wealth may yield.
Sometimes the shout of the harvesters
The sleeping pulse of my being stlrs,
And as one in dream l seem to feel
The sweep and the rush OF the swinging
steel,
Or / catch the sound of the gay refrain
As they heap their wains with the gold
en- grain.
Yet, o my neighbors, be not too proud,
Though on every tongue your praise is
Onr mother nature is kind to me,
And l am beloved by bird and bee,
And never child that passes by @

And calm as yours is myisweet repose
Wrapped in the warmth of the winter

For little our loving mother cares
Which the corn or the daisy bears,
Which is rich with the ripening wheat,
Which with the violet's breath is sweet
Which is red with the clover bloom,
Or which for the wild sweet fern makes
room.
Useless under the Summer sky
Year after year men say lie.
Little they know what strength of MINE
] give to the trailing blackberry vine;
Little they know how the wild grape

Or how nv life blood flushes the rose.
Little they think of the cups ! fill
For the moses creeping under the hill
Little they think of the feast spead
For the wild wee creatures that nust D'

Squirrel and butterfly, bird and bee,
And the creeping things that no ey'

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which cause
human suffering result from arrangement of the
stomach bowels, and liver. AYERS CATHARTIc
PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are
especially designed to cure the diseases caused
by their arrangement, including ConstiPatic-I,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysen-
terry, and host of other ailments, for all OF
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant
remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by
eminent physicians in regular practice, shows
Enthusiastically the estimation in which they are
held by the medical profession
These PILLS compounded of vegetable sub
stances only and are absolutely free from ealomel
or any other injurious ingredient
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"AYER's PILLS are invaluable to me, and are
my constant companion. have been a severe
sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS are the
only thing l could look to for relief. One dose
will quickly move my bowels and 1ree my 9ead e4I
from pain. They are the most effective and the
easiest physic have ever found. Its pleasure
to me to speak in'their praise, and always do so
when occasion offers. .
Franklin ST., Richmond, Va, June 3, 1882.
81 have used AYERS PILLS in numberless in
stances as recommended by you, and have never
known them to fail to accomplish the desired re-
suit We constantly keep them on hand at our
home, and prize them as pleasant, safe and
reliable family medicine. FOR DYSPEPSIA
they are invaluable. y. L. HAYES
Mexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing from
Atlanta Ca. says: "FOr some years past have
been subject to constipation, from which, in
spite of the use of medicines of various kinds,
1 suffered increasing inconvenience, until some
months ago l began taking AYERS PILLS. They
have entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health
AYERS CArHARTIC PILLS correct irregulari-
ties of the bowels, stimulate the appetite and
digestion, and by their prompt and thorough
action give tone and vigor to the whole physical
economy.

Lincoln and One OF His Old Friends.

In February, 1867, Mr.. Lincoln
made trip to New York, where Ii. was
engaged to lecture in Cooper Institute
on the 9th Of the month. After the
delivery of his lecture he came to New
Hampshire and spoke in Manchester
and Concord. While on this journey
he stopped ov>r night with a friend in
Lawrence, sharing his humble quarters
j. preference to the better ones of q
l.otel, for his friend was poor. Tho
next morning Mr.. Lincoln proceeded
to fill his engagement ut Manchester.
Weeks and months rolled by, filed
with the stirring scenes of a Pro sidon.
tial campaign, in which Mr.. Lincoln
was the central and remarkable figure.
Mr.. Lincoln was elected, and in March,
1861, he was inaugurated. One even.
ing, little later, thee was reception
at the White House. The crowd was
almost solid and impenetrablc mass.
1t surged about the President and it
was with extrem, difficulty that many
were enabled to take him by the hand.
Suddenly there was connection and q
voice was heard to exclaim, as it's owner
came elbowing his way through the
tllrong, "Abe, Abel" Mr.. Lincoln
looked up and warmly greeted his
Lawrence friend. The next day, in the
privacy of tie White House, Mr.. Lin
coin wrote request to the Col ector Of
the Port of Boston to make place for

Her wit Saved Her.

In danger! Don't let your wits desert
you'll" is good as for as it goes. But
more effective, perhaps, will be an
illustration Of how woman once saved
her life by her cool courage, which nj.
lowed her wits to devise the plan that
thwarted madman:
A lady was sitting in her parlor in
Paris at dusk one evening, when man
entered, and without ceremony seated
himself. He had probably obtained
entrance to the house as patient, for
the lady's husband was a doctor. She
was astonished at his holiness, but still
more at his personal appearance. His
face was haggard, his eyes wild and his
dress disordered.
After he had gazed at her for a few
moments m she said, If you wish to see
II am q doctor" he interrupted, with
wave OF his Land. II have heard that
you are great sufferer from headache.
I have come to cure you'll"
The lady became now really terrified.
for she suspected the true character Of
her visitor. Her husband was ont.
= ~ASAO "OA0 Nv acAV0fNo Ou lcI uOOr,
and she could not call any, for the man
had seated himself near the bell-corl.
Without betraying her fear, however,
she replied: 1T is true that am sub
ject to headaches, but how can you
cure them?"
1T is simply done" said he, glaring
at her. Il propose to cut off your heal,
examine your brains and turn them
over. Then I shall replace them and
put your head back upon your should
ers."
The lady turned deadly pale. Alone
with q mailman, and threatened will. u
horrible death! The maniac detected
the change. "You need not fear," said
he; "my remedy is painless. But come,
we must be quick!"
50 saying, he rose and moved toward
her. She rose, too, and with calm
ness. assumed by tremendous effort
Of will, said, "But, sir, blood will flow
and my dress may he spoiled; permit
me to bring towel from tho newt
ROOM"
The lunatic made gesture of assent,
and she retired to an adjoining apart
ment. From this she reached the stairs
and informed tho police, who came and
secured the maniac.

The Transcontinental RAILWAYS.

The Transcontinental Railways.
The Transcontinental Railways, OF
which the third is now about completed,
q fourth, with an enormous capital, is
being built across British America. and
two more are nearing the Rocky
Mountains, will not come into that de-
gree Of active competition which is
generally supposed. The through
traffic which they will divide is not an
important item. II they are to prove
paying investments it will he by the
development of local business, which
will increase with wonderful rapidity
as the Western country settles up and
branch roads are built. The Union
and Central Pacific roads derive their
life from their local traffic. With this
business the Southern Pacific, which is
more than . thousand miles distant
throughout nearly it's ontire length, can
never interfere. The route Of the
Northern Pacific is almost equally re-
mote, and the proposed Atlantic and
Pacific will have greater width Of
country to draw its traffic from than all
five of the trunk lines leading from
Cincinnati to New York. In the un-
settled West it is not business that
makes the railways, but the railways
that makes business. Each new line
that is projected means that soon an.
other broad belt of country will lie
opened up and its hidden wealth rapid
" developed.

Where Girls Have Their Freedom.

where d1ris Have Their Freedom.
Prof. Kate 6anborn, Of Smith Col
lege, near Boston, has written an inter-
esting article on the social life Of Smith
College, from which il appears that in
many respects it is phenomenal insti-
tuition. The women, for instance, are
treated nationally as men. It is neither
q nursery nor q nunnery, and the ma
jority Of the students live in pretty lit
tie cottages, where they keep house as
though at home. The girls are not
hampered with rules, which are con-
spicuous by their absence, but are
placed on their honor. They are ex-
pected to appear at recitation with
reasonable regularity; but beyond that
they walk, row, ride, drive, attend
musical or dramatic entertainments, or
accept invitations from friends in town
as they please. All this gives q vision
of untrammelled freedom rarely ac-
corded to young women even in uncon-
vent;onal America; but Prof. Sanborn
assures us that it has led to no un-
pleasant results; she adds: "People
who are we'll aware of the existence,
success and grand achievements of Vas
sur and Wellesley do seem wonderfully
ignorant about the only and original
Woman's College, that, in its high
standard of scholarship and its require
ments for entering, stands fully and
clearly on par with Harvard, Yale,
Dartmouth and our other first-class
male colleges"
