was the piteous response of the
young lady, who, bursting into
tears, rushed into an adjoining
apartment.
Ladies' went to her assistance
and advised with her, and the
rejected bridegroom tried to
persuade her to change her de-
termination and become bis
wife. It was to no avail. The
young lady would not change
her mind. Miss Smedley had
received attentions from Mr..
Stivers since last winter. They
engaged to marry some months
ago, but since then the young
lady has entertained grave
doubts as to their compatibility
of temperament, but, looking on
her engagement as irrev0cable

ACQUIRED Sentiment.

The force Of acquired over
native sentiment was illustrated
| in q sexton l talked with in the
old church in Alexandria, Va,
where the Washington family
used to worship. After show
ing me the wide double pew,
kept IN shape since Washing
toms xime, he pointed to that
occupied by Gen. Robert E.
Lee, which was stripped bare,
without cushion or memento.
''There is nothing of his left"
he remarked IN answer to my
inquiry, land If there were this
church couldn't hold it from the
people wanting tokens" us
his pew, then, an object of more
regard than Washington's 7"
.Gen. Lee is a living presence
among us,n he answered. "You.
are virginian ~ 81 asked.
"Yes, for 40 years." he answer
ed; II was born and raised in
New York" "And during the
war 7" I ventured. II went
with my state Virginia; my
birthplace was nothing to me-"
was the reply. "I'm as poor as
this church," he continued, IN
dicating its meagre appoint
ments; "I'm even dependent
upon chance bounty, but I'd
rather stay here with my memo.

Let thu Light In.

There are few farm houses in
which Mt least one room-often
one of the best-is not kept
shut up most of the time; and
the spare-room intended for
visitors in city homes seldom
fares much better, so far as the
admission of light and air are
concerned. Then we put blinds
on our windows to keep out
the heat in summer and let them
keep ont the light all the year
we hang up curtains for pur-
poses Of household decoration
and regard the resulting gloom
as a necessity of modern life
we even devise all fantastic
forms of colored glass for ouI
dwellings, in order to modify
what little light does get in.
No house can be clean that il
dark and no house that is not
clean can be healthy. Pure
light Is a purifier. 1t destroys
the poison of organic disease
Its efficancy in this respect may
be illustrated by the fact that
the poison of that most danger
GUS of serpents, the cobra
which will retain its fatal power
indefinitely if kept in the dark
becomes innoceuous after con
tinuous exposure to the action
Of sunlight. Let the light into

President Iohnson's Economy.

/ have had q talk about Presl-
dent Andrew johnson, with par
son Brownlow's son, who Is now
connected with the postoffice
here, writes a Washington cor
respondent. president John
son was very economical said
he, "his circumstances made
him so when he was young, and
his habit thus acquired, stuck
to him. He died worth $780,
600, and this was purely the &C.
cumulation of his salary and in-
terest. He made little or no
money outside Of his salary.
While he was in Congress he
accumulated 600, 900, and out of
his salary as President $4,000.
The Presidents salary was then
go, 900, and ! suppose johnson
saved more than any President
except Hayes. When he stnd-
led law he was too poor to buy
books, and he spent his leisure
time about the courthouse in
Greenville reading those belon-
ging there. He never kept OIL
horse or carriage, and during
congressional campaigns, he
borrowed a neighbors steed to
ride over the district. This was
probably one ofthe reasons why
he did not give his children col
lege education. His three sons
went to the common county
school of the South, and the
only academic education given
any one of them, was to the
youngest, while he was Presi.
dent, who was then twelve years
old. He sent this boy to school
for few months. His daugh-
ter were better treated, and they |
were at school in Georgetown
while he was in the White
House. Perhaps he did not
believe in college education, he
had COTTON along with so little
him self"

asrhsid's Promises.

Mr.. Dorsey has been letting
out the secret agreements made
by Garfield with the Stalwart
leaders. He says Garfield
agreed to appoint the Secretary
Of the Treasury from New York,
:, nd Pre- missed aleo that he should
come from the Grant ranks.
Another stipulation was that of
refunding the Government fives
and skies, which must soon
take place, should be given to
such syndicate Of New York
bankers as should be designat-
ed by the stalwarts, and at such
commission as should be fair.
1t is said that with these
promises and other general as
surancs to the stalwarts, the
problem of raising the necessa-
ry campaign funds was solved.
It is stated that late in Sep.
TENDER, and after thorough or
ganization had shown where
money was specially needed to
carry Indiana, q messenger
started from New York for In.
diana with the sum of $400,0 900,
which had been raised chiefly
through Morton's agency.
Those methods were subse-
quently described by Vice
President Arthur as SOAP"

To the Farmers Of the United
States,

70
It ID made my duty to max,
known to you the objects Of the
Farmers Congress. and to solicit
the earnest cooperation Of al
who till the soil.
The first Session of the Con
gress was held at st. Louis in
October 1881. The second SEES
sion in the Same city in October
1862, and the third Session will
be held at Louisville, KY, on
the first Wednesday in Decem-
Der next.
The association meets annual.
~, and is composed of one dele
gate from each Congressional
district, one from each Territory,
and one from each State Agri.
cultural College. It is intended
to be representative body Of
the farmers of the United
States.
Its object is to bring the far
mers from all sections of the
country into common council,
that they may determine as to
the best policy to Protect, and
advance their interests. The
necessity for a Union of Ameri
can farmers has loug been felt,
and their future organization
il looked to with the deepest in.
terest. The questions for the
consideration. and action of the
Farmers Congress, overshadow
oil others, whether We regard
them as to the number of our
people employed, the amount
and value of farm products, OF
the capital engaged in the cul
ture Of the soil. Agriculture il
now, and must ever be the mos
important interest of the Ameri
can people. That it furnisheI
seven Fights of the exports 0
the country is conclusive proc
of this. 1t has patiently born,
exactions, and burdens to fos
ter, and build up all other in
dustries without having as al
other pursuits, union, and cor
cert of action for its own pre-
lection.
The result of this policy O
the part of farmers has been t
have only a minority of farmer
in most of the Legislatures, bu
few representatives in the low
err House of Congress. and on
or two in the Senate of tn
Limited States. The Banking
Rail Road, Manufacturing, an
Commercial interests have thei
paid lobbyists in every Stat
Legislature, ana at Washington
while the millions of farmer
are tolling at bone to meet til
taxes, and burdens unjustl
levied upon them. 1t is belle,
ed that the Farmers Congress
In which the humblest farmer
can be heard will secure tina
kind of union, and active &C
operation so much needed an
desired by American farmers
They do not ask, or desire elias
legislation, but they deman
that The machinery of Govern
ment shall no longer be use
for their oppression. Anon
other things they want the DE-
partment of Agriculture repre-
scented in the Presidents Cab
net, and so expressed then
selves unanimously at the Las
session of this body. They wan
