Tenant Houses On Farms.

The question of hiring help on larger
farms is a very important one, and de-
serves more attention by the agricultur-
al press. There are two ways of look
ing at the subject, the right and the
wrong. The farmer who looks upon q
hired man in much the same light that
he does upon his horses or oxen, as ami
mails out of which he is to get the larg
est possible amount of labor at the least
possible outlay, is not taking as high a
view of human labor as he should, and
will find it difficult to solve the problem
of economical help upon his farm. The
person who hires should hope to get q
man as well as q machine, when he Sc
cures the services of any human help.
The best method of securing such help
is the important question that is pre-
sented to many farmers in all parts of
the world. Anything that will tend to
make the hired man more interested in
his work should be fostered. TO this
end let us consider the subject of tenant
houses.
By tenant houses is understood dwell
lings upon the farm in which the hired
men, and their families, find comfortable
quarters and pleasant home. In the
ilESt place SliCil IlOUSCS StCulS
men, andthis is an advantage. 1t is
necessary TO discourse upon the unsettl-
ed condition of the unmarried agricul-
tural labors as contrasted with those
that have families depending upon their
wages. A single man is, in u certain
sense, independent, and too frequently
feels that he can do about us he pleases
so long as the last payment for his labor
holds out. Such men are transitory,
and pass from farm to farm, not staying
long enough in any one place to get in
terested in the work Aside from the
rowing disposition of the unmarried
farm lahorer, he has other charas5eris-
ties that unfit him for filling the import
ant position on large farms. | do not
mean this is the case with all, but fire.

How a Woman Uses a. Hammer

The. Boston Herald is responsible for
the following description of the way a
woman wields hammer:
She wants to hang Il picture on the
wall. She gets nail, a hammer, and
d tall chair to stand upon, and calmly
surveys the situation.
Then she measures distance and
scratches a spot, always an inch too
high or too low, and paepares for ac-
ton.
She takes the nail in the left hand and
the hammer in the right, and gently
laps, like the drum accompaniment of q
musical box.
Then she lays herself out for big
blow, raises her arm and strikes, and
yells like a captured Comanche maiden
on the boundless prairie.
She goes about the rest of the morn
ing with her thumb done up in bread
poultice. Yet she never learns from ex-
perience.
The next time she wants to drive a
nail in anything she will hit it exactly
Ia the SAME place.

CARLYLE and Emerson as Letter Writers.

The fine touch in Emerson's letters,
as in his other writings, is always the
spiritual touch. For the rest, felicitous
as they are, for the most part they sui
fer little by comparison with Carlyle's;
they are less natural, more composed.
have too studied quaintness. 1t was
his practice, apparently, to make two
drafts of these communications. The
violent color, the large, avalanche-move-
mont of Carlyle's style-as if mass of
earth and rock and vegetation had dc
tached itself and came bouncing and
humping forward-make the efforts OF
his correspondent appear little palo
and stiff There is always something
high and pure in Emerson speech how
ever, and it has often a perfect propri-
ety-seeming, in answer to Carlyles OK
travagances, the note of reason and JUS
tice. Faith and love are apt to be
spasmodic in the best minds. Men live
on the brink of mysteries and harmon
ies into which they never enter, and
with their hand ON the door-latch they
die outside. June Century.

i-seesti,at this little girl is even more Of q
| charity Scholar as you call it, than
Bessie, whose schooling is paid for,
every week, by her mothers honest toll. :"
'Mamma," cried Theodore, "who is
itP DO tell me who it isP''
II had not intended to divulge the
secret, my child" said Mrs. Barclay,
.Ill never, never tell" interrupted
Theo. 'I'll promise not to tell, if you'll
only whisper to me what the little girl 8
name is"
at is Theodore Barclay" said her
| mother with sad smile. ''And re-
member, my dear, that l should never
have told you this, had it not been for
! the foolish contempt which you have
shown towards little Bessie Gale"
Theo had hidden her face on her
| mothers shoulder, and was silent for o
| minute or two.
''Oh, mamma" she said at last, in a
choked voice, chow foolish have been!
| Oh, how l wish l hadn't said u word.
Oh, mamma, what shall do now2"
"What do you think 1t would be most
right and honorable to do?' Mrs. Bar
clay asked her with sad smile.
II know" said Theodore, after q
momentary struggle with herself. II
will go and tell all the girls that am a
charity scholar too"
Her mother gave her tender kiss.
''My little girl is right said she.
The very next day Theodore went
brayely to school and told the little girls
all that she had learned from her mother.
She went up to Bessie and kissed her,
and asked her forgiveness, while the
other children all cried out with one
voice:
1--WE don't know anything, or care
anything about charity children, but we
! all think that you are the incest girl in
the school, and Bessie Gale is the next
incest"
So the little storm blew over that had
threatened to darken the school horizon,
and the girls were all happy together
once more in Miss Milton's small world.

To the Dude.


When'er take my walks abroad
How II any Dudes see,
And whom l turn and look at them
They cannot look ut mo-.
Their collars tight curtail their sight
Their heads they cannot turn;
Why walk they thus with solemn airr
Their mission would learn.
The days Of penancc gaints are not yet passed
St. Simeon StyliteS was not the last
OF those good souls who felt they fulfilled best
Their mission aud their masters last DeheSt
BY self-infi.cted tortures and q life
Made gloomy by a stern, unyteiding strife
'Gainst merriment and outward signs OF Joy,
Lest aught but their own mission should thetI
thoughts employ.
Zen so the Dude Is now our modern saint,
With saddened eyes yet without complaint
He daily walks our street with looks INTENT
His soul and being on his mission bent.
That mission which Is ever fresh and green
While social life retains its lustre and ite
sheen,
To show how in a land where arts do grow
That absolutely nothing man can know.
Oh, luckless Dude we pity and we mourn
Your hopeless state, your misery forlorn;
Go, HE you to some talOr's shop and try
To, as d clothes-horse, view the paSsers-by.

til q short time since in Philadelphia,

The COlOred COnventtOn-Fred. DOuSIass'
 Counsel to His CouR'rymen.
 LOUISVILLE, Sept. 25.-The national color ed convention spent the morning session in listening to 8 long and excellent address from Fred. Douglass, the chairman. His speech was mostly non-poltical, advocating education of the negroes, Federal aid to negro schools and equal social rights to the colored man.
 Referring to political color threatening the convention he said: This convention It was claimed ought not to have been called because it was 8 menace to the Republlcan party Parties were made for men, not men for parties. If the Republican party could not stand demand for justice and fair play it ought to go down. If the six million ne- eroes with one million of their own votes to lean upon and millions of white men who were in favor of humanity and justice backing them could not meet and organize to protect themselves against outrage, dis crimination and oppression the Republican party or no ether party would do It for them. He demanded for black labor in the South a better reward and spoke bitterly of the observation-disclosures against negroes Tn hotels, trains and theatres He had travelled In Europe and heard no prejudice against color; it was simply disease of American lmagina- tlon. MT. OougIaSS Auutess was received with great enthusiasm and was referred to the committee on reso- lutions and address with instructions to re- port as to whether it should be adopted as an expression of the views of the convention and laid before Congress.
 The afternoon and evening sessions were given over to wrangling and disorder. No business could be transacted owing to the obstruction of the Louisiana and South Caro- lima delegates which are made up of politl clans and it is openly reported have come to prevent any action by the convention.

The Greenback convention-ButIer Nom- inated for Governor by Reclamation. BosroN, Sept. 25.-The State committee of Greenbackers met at 10 o'clock this morning ] to decide on a permanent organization. MT. Moody Boynton denounced the convention as scheme to aid and Rbet the Democratic party. The convention met at Il o'clock. Levi R. Pierce, of Lynn, was chosen presi- dent, and Gustavus B. Hutchinson, of Bos- ton, secretary. P P. Field, who had been chosen temporary chairman, made short address, in which he warmly eulogized Gov
 srner Butler, which was received with great
 enthusiasm. A sharp debate then ensued over the report of the committee on creden- tisls, @ number of the delegates objecting to the admission of Dr. J. Bland, who was present as delegate from Athol. Dr. Bland
 is sympathizer with Moody Boynton, and the author of the Life of General Butler.
 Excited speeches were made, and all was con- fusion until Dr. Bland was excluded by an almost unanimous vote Dr. Bland attempt cd to speak, but was promptly sat down upon. General Butler was nominated
 for Governor by exclamation. The remainder
 of the ticket was made up as follows: For Lieutenant Governor, John Howes, of Wor-
 cester Secretary of State, Nicholas Furlong,
 of Boston; Attorney General, George Eos
 ter, of Lynn Treasurer, Wilbur F. Whitney, of Ashburnham Auditor, A. H. Wood, of
 Lunenburg While there were no votes cast
 against the renomination of Governor Butler a few delegates opposed to him withdrew af-
 ter they had noted the drift of the conven- tion's favor. The platform begins with the assertion that the Republi-
 can and Democratic parties have ceased to
 be useful, the Republicans receiving the
 severest denunciation- It demands that class legislation shall stop and that women
 be given the ballot, that incomes be taxed
 and that the poll tax laws be repealed. After the usual currency reform blanks 1t eulogizes
 the administration of Governor Butler.
 Mir. E. Moody Bynton of the National committee of the Greenback Labor party of
 Massachusetts has issued a call for Green
 back convention to be held in Worcester
 Tuesday, October 16, at 2 o'clock p. m. for
 the purpose of nominating State ticket to
 be voted upon at the coming election. The call protests against the convention held to-
 day as being without precedent in the histo- ry of the National ,Greenback Labor party and a ratification of Governor Buffers state
 ment that the mission of the Greenbackers has been accumulated.
