OLD JOHN BROWN.
A Washington, Pa, County
Farmer u no Remembers
the Enthusiast.

"Oh, yes, l remember old John Brown
we'll" said Washington county farmer
yesterday afternoon, whom newspaper
man met ia a business transaction. He
bought wool in certain sections of our
county, and good judge of the article
he was. He had the brightest eye in his
head l ever saw. He was quick ard
restless in his movements, and asked
questions so fast that no one could an
swer them. There were also few ne
groes in our locality, who were success
full farmers, and these Brown always
took great deal of interest in. He
would question them, make their chill
dren read to him, and examine their
methods of farming with much interest
He was in the habit of stopping with
old Judge McKeever, of West Middleton
an original Abolitionist. and very in
tellectual man. They would talk far
into the night on the negro problem.
Both agreed upon the enormity of the
crime OF slavery, but they were divided
upon the means of its determination
Brown was in favor of precipitatiDg
matters, arming the negroes, and by a
general uprising throughout the South
accomplish their freedom. Mcksever,
more conservative, wanted to temporize,
as be thought the signs of the times in
dicated the extinction of the institution.
Brown. used to consult with DR.. lie
Moyne, of Washington, and DR.. Mckee
han, Of West Alexander. DR.. LeMoyne
got some of his best agricultural ideas
from Brown, and probably first turned
his attention to the stockbreeding prob
lem upon ideas he observed from the
liberatOr. Brown has never been in
Washington county after 1855, or maybe
before that time little.-t Exchange.

Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeing
In doing each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in the dreaming
OF great things to DO by-and-by;
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite Of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our nete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For Justice ayenges each slight,
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men,
IT'S not in the pages of story
The heart of Its ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that ne hath for her smile;
For when from her hei ghts he has won
her,
Alas it is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor,
And nothing 30 loyal as lovel
We cannot make bagains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which il
gets;
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing; and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Through envy, through malice, through
hating,
Against the world early and late,
Nor jot of our courage abating,
Our part is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting Of his troubles
Whose winnings are less than his
worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.
Alice Cary.

Corn and Hogs.

From carefully-coDducted experiments
by different persons, it has been ascer-
tanned that one busbel of corn will
make a little over ten and one-half lbs
of pork, gross. Taking this result as 9
basis, the following deductions are
made, which all our farmers would dc
well to lay by for convenient reference
that:
When corn sells for 1215 cents pei
bushsl. pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bushel
pork costs 2 cents per pound.
When corn costs % cents per bushel
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs SO cents per busbel
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 80 cents per bushel
pork costs cents per pound.
The following statements show wha
the farmer realizes on his corn wheI
sold in the form of pork:
When pork sells for cents per pound
it brings 25 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for cents per pound
it brings 80 cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells for 5 cents per pound
it brings As cents per bushel in corn.--

ROEgRY.
The Morning Psalm.

"Read US psalm, my little one
An untried day had just begun.
And, ere the ci.y's rush and roar
Game passing through the closed nome
door.
The family was hushed to hear
The youngest child, IN accents clear,
Read from the Book. A moments space
The morning look died from each face
The sharp, keen look, that goes to meet
Opposing force, nor brooks defeat.
81 will lift up mine eyes" she read,
Unto the hills" Who was afraid!
what had that psalm of pilgrim life
To do with all our modern strife?
"Behold, He that doth Israel keep
The Lord thy keeper is, and He
The shade on Thy right hand shall De;
The sun by day shall not thee smlte,
The moon shall hurt thee not by night.
And the child finished the old psalm;
And those who heard grew strong and
calm;
The music of the Hebrew words,
Thrilled them like sweet remembered
chords,
And brought the nights Of yesterday
Down to the lowlands of to-day,
And seemed TO lend to common things
A mystery as of light and wings,
And each one felt in gladstone mood,
And life was beautiful, and good.
Then forth, where duty's clarion call
Was head, the household FASTENED all,
In crowded baunts of busy men
To toll with book, or speech, or pen,
To meet the days demand with skill,
And bear aud do and dare and will,
As they must, who are in the strife,
And strain and stress of modern life,
And would succeed, but who yet hold
Honor of higher worth than gold.
These are the days of peace, we say,
Yet fiercest fights are fought to-day,
And those who formed that household
Had need of strength that they might
stand
In firmness and unruffled calm
But sweetly did their morning psalm
Amid the clamor, loud and long,
Like echo of q once loved song,
Rise in their hearts and make them
strong.
At close of day they met again
And each had known some touch of pain
Some disappointment, loss or care,
Some place of stumbling, or some snare
"And yet the psalm is true" said they,
"The Lord preserveth us alway,
His own were safe in days of yore,
, And from this time, and evermore;
If skies be bright or skies be dim,
He keepeth all who trust in Him.

AN increased tendency toward early
shearing is noticeable in the last few
years. There are number of good and
reasonable arguments in favor of re-
tanning the, fleece until June, and we
believe they are fully met by the advan-
tages of early clipping. If the shepherd

The Continent, Albion W. Tourgee's admirable
weekly, is meeting with favor throughout the
country. "The Recollections of Army Life" in
the number of the twenty.eighth instant, is ad-
mirably illustrated and wel written. "The Snow
sprites," poem, by Nathan d. Urner, attracts
much attention. The vigorous editorial on the
Ozark Horse of 1885," from the pen Of the con-
ductor of the magazine, furnishes much food for
thought for our statesmen.
The death Of the great composer, Richard wag-
ner, renders especially timely and interesting an
article by Mrs. Van Rensselaer, in the March mum.
Der Of Harper's Mdgdsire. This article, while hay
ing for its subject the last Bareuth festival gives
not only careful estimate of Wagner's place In
music, but also pleasant picture of his home life
and home surrounding. The article contains an
egtirely new portrait Of the composer, and a view
Of his house in Baireuth.

Republican Senatorial Caucus.

A caucus of the republican members Of the
senate was held yesterday morning for the
purpose of determining the order of business
in regard TO matters of general legislation
now pending.
The caucus committee appointed some
weeks since reported that they had consid-
cred the subject, and that in their opinion ac-
tion should be taken at this session upon the
shipping bill, the Dakota division bill, the
pension bills, and the bankruptcy bill.
This report gave rise to considerable dis
cussion, several senators asserting that other
measures are equally important and should
not be overlooked. Among these Senator
Blair strongly urged the Importance of the
educational bill introduced by him. Pending
further discussion the hour of adjournment
arrived, and II was agreed to hold another
caucus to-day.
The only understanding reached was that
the anti-bigamy bill, which was taken up
Wednesday afternoon, when comparatively
few senators were in attendance, should be
laid aside in order to take up the naval ap-
preparation bill, and that during the re-
mainder Of the session precedence shall in
variably be given to the regular annual ap-
preparation bills, revenue bills, and pension
bills.
A current rumor that the caucus selected
Senator Edmunds as its choice for president
pro tempore of the senate has no foundation
The subject of providing for the election of a
new president pro tempore was not even al
luded to in Yesterdays caucus
