dependence in the fierce, pitiless
whirl of city life. The wrecks to be
encountered on city streets every
day disprove it. Comparatively
few persons amass fortunes in cities,
and few still retain them. So true
is this that it is safe to predict, in
five cases out of ten, of wealthy bus
mess men in middle life, that they
will die penniless.
Farming is not subject to these
rapid and ruinous changes. In
this pursuit industry, economy and
good management, aided by the in
crease which time itself brings, will
insure q compt tence in fifteen or
twenty years; and it is a property
of substance accumulated in farm
ing that, unlike fortunes acquired
in mercantile pursuits, it lasts
through life.
Few thrifty, industrious farmers
die poor; few prosperous merchants
who continue in business die rich.
The farmers profits come in slos
and small it is true; and often he
does not find himself in comforta-
BILE circumstances till middle age.
But it is in middle and old age he
most needs the comfort Of ipdepen-
dence; and if he is wise enough to
keep out of debt the moderate com
potency which he has managed to
through his better years
will come unscathed through the
storms and convulsions that sweep
away towering fortunes in the bus
mess world.

Business Education.

No girl has such fair prospects
that her father can excuse himself
for not giving her, as supplement
to her learning and accomplish
ments, the skillful training in some
form of work that will insure her a
livelihood if misfortunes fling her
upon the unaided resources of her
own head and hand. 1t is a grave
indictment against the pretensions
of our Civilization that the fathers
who wish thus to train their daugh-
tes are so perplexed to find suita-
BILE occupations, outside of sewing,
teaching and household service.
We are still in the semi-civilized
stage of society as regards the null
tiplied opportunities for work that
ought to stand open to women. The
case is bad enough for the woman
who has not the gift for teaching or
the strength for house-work, but
who is free to go to the work she
has the training to do,if happily she
can find it by the hunting. But it
is most cruel that there is so little
choice Of work, beyond unskilled
and unpaid drudgery, for the wo-
man who is anchored at home by
the children for whom she must
earn living. Soclals science and
philanthropy surely have not done
their best in this direction.
The other mistake is that which

There is no foolish notion that
more urgently needs to be exploded
than the prevalent one which makes
a country life below the ambition
of q well-bred young man of ed
education and spirit, and which re-
CARDS towns and cities as the only
places where men rise to distinc-
tion and usefulness. Farming is
called tame and monotonous vo-
cation, indeed, but can anything
better be claimed for the plodding,
exacting and exhaustive pursuits
which nine tenths of those who
live in cities are compelled to fol-
fow? 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that the population of a city
is made up of great capitalists, pro
prietors and merchants, manufac-
turers, eminent lawyers and snr-
geons, and that it is an easy thing
for q young man endowed with the
quality of ''smartness'' to achieve
wealth and distinction, or even in

A Stitch Ia time,

There is no branch of business
to which the old preverb of "a
stitch in time saves nine'' is more
applicable than to farming. A lit
tie repair in fence, a hedge looked
after at the proper time, may save a
crop from being rooted up or tram
pied down by stock; or the little re-
pair thus early made will prevent
greater deterioration in the farm
enclosure. A dollars worth of a
Dor to-day may save ten month
hence. The same principle is ap-
plicable to farm buildings. One
loose board soon begets another,
and one nail driven in time saves
a half days labor if delayed. Then
we may carry the same principle in
to crops. Early planting in prop
erly prepared beds produces early
crops; early vegetables bring good
prices. 1t is the people who plant
late who can never make any money
on vegetables sent to market He
who takes a stitch as soon as the
slightest rent appe ars is sure to
save time and money in the end, so
the farmer who avails himself of
the earliest good weather to prepare
his land and plant his crop will
save time and money. He works
while others are waiting, and he
will rest while others are working.
His crops will be showing the
green sprouts above the surface of
the ground when the seed of others
is just being settled in the soil.
Thus he gets ahead of the weeds,
and his plants are up and vigorous
before the weeds get a chance to
choke them; hence his labors all
through the crop season are less
than those of his neighbors who
did not early delve and early SOW.
Thus it is that the stitch he took
in his soil in early time saves him
full nine ere the year IS over. He
who early sows will early reap,
hence again he saves in being able
to get labor before it has become
high priced by the great demand
from the many farmers; and we
might add that, with his grain
all garnered, the thrifty farm
er can then show his generosity by
assisting his more dilatory friends.
II A bad example we advise
against.-Ed.
But it is especially in the case of
farm tools that this old maxim
shines out in its greatest strength.
No one thing so much detracts from
the profits of farmer as to have
farm implements in bad order when
they are wanted. A loose bolt dai-
ly becomes looser, and one broken
nut throws a double strain on some
other, hence to care for all the
points, and to ever watch that no
part is out of order, weak, or defec-
tive, should I be the first and con-
slant care of farmer. An appa-
rently little defect if unattended to
becomes slowly, it may be, but
surely worse, until the implement
is worthless. A cold neglected
may cause consumption; a loose
bolt unattended to may cause a
breakage of the mowing-machine
which will entail serious loss.

The Swiss Coop -NIGHT.-Amopg
the lofty mountains and elevated
valleys of Switzerland, the Alpine
horn has another use besides that
of sounding the far-famed "Ranz

is of very solemn and Impressive
nature. When the sun is set in the

the mountains CLEAN with golden
light, the herdsman who dWells up
on the highest inhabited spot takes
his horn and pronounces clearly
and loudly through it as through a
speaking trumpet, EPraise the

is heard by the neighboring herds
men, they issue from their huts,
take their Alpine horns, and repeat
the same words. This frequently

call resounds from all the noun
tains and the rocky cliffs around.
All the herdsmen kneel and pray
with uncovered heads. Meantime
it has become quite dark. "Good-

TAY1oR's BAD BILL.
A Giles County Man on Trial in the
Federal Court for Passing a
Twenty-Dollar Coun-
terfeit.

The United States Circuit Court
is now engaged in the trial of the
case of the United States VS.. Viii
liam Taylor, charged with counter.
feiting. The alleged offense fol
which Taylor is on trial was com
mitted at Pulaski in Giles county
Sept. Is, 1874. On this day Taylor,
who was at that time very young
man, entered the store of David
Lazarus and bought suit of clothes.
In payment he offered a twenty-dol-
lar note. Lazarus said he had not
the change for the bill and sent it
out to the bank. Mr.. Hugh Ewing,
the cashier, sent it back with the
reply that it was, in his opinion, a
counterfeit. Taylor,it is claimed, said
that he did not know the note was
a bad one, and offered to take it
back. This Lazarus refused to al
low him to do, and had him arrested.
Taylor gave bond, but found out
that there was a mi take in the time
and skipped the country. He re
turned, however, several years ago,
and few months since surrendered
himself to the Federal authorities.
The accused was put on the wit
ness stand yesterday in court, and
stoutly denied any guilt in the mat
ter of passing the bill. He said
that he got it either on a check Civ
en- him for cotton sold by his broih
er and himself, or from another
party with whom he had a transac-
tioh just before his arrest.
When asked why he had run off
if he was innocent, Taylor replied
that he had always heard that the
Federal Court would hang a man
whether or no. The defense claims
that it was this popular idea Of the
tribunal in which he was arraigned
that inspired Taylor's flight. Mr..
Ewing, one of the witnesses for the
United States, was brought all the
way from Texas to testify in this
trial. The defense which is being
conducted by Col. j. H. Lewis, Of
Lewisburg, and Capt. j. A. Warder,
of Shelbyville, elected from Mr. Ew-
ing the statement that there were at

the husband makes who not only
keeps his wife in ignorance of his
business affairs but is content to
have her remain ignorant of busi-
ness methods generally. He COM
forts himself, perhaps, with the
thought that if he died he will leave
his family enough to do with. He
strangely forgets how untitled his
wife would be in such case to take
good care of property; how liable
she would be TO loss from unwise
investments; how dependent she
would be on advisers who might
take advantage of her. Our girls,
in getting an education nowadays,
range through all sciences and 'olo-
gies. There are classes in cookery,
nursing and making courtesies.
But many q woman sees the time
when she could well afford to be ig-
norant of several sciences and arts
in exchange for little practical
knowledge on the principles govern
ing safe investment, and risks in
different sorts of securities, the pre-
cautions to be taken and the snags
to be summed in making contract,
the commoner maxims of law in
volved in credits, mortgages, leases,
discounts, usury, conveyances, etc.
If she learned nothing of such
things before her marriage it is her
husbands objectionable mistake if
she does not acquire some elemen.

The Farmers Review reports
that among the curious and valua-
BILE exhibits at the recent Railway
Exposition at Chicago was an cleo
trio fence. 1t is made of ordinary
steel wire, with no barbs or sharp
points or edges to tear the flesh of
man or beast, and no more intricate
or expensive than an ordinary wire
fence Its simplicity and cheapness
are its highest Communications to
the public. The fence is put up
alongside the highways, around the
pastures, fields or gardens and runs
up into the house, where it connects
with a small battery located in a
little cupboarp that can be kept
locked. The battery in put into or
der, the connection made and the
thing is ready. When a COW or
horse runs against it, persuasive
shock darts through them, such as
man feels when he takes hold of
the brass handle of the showman's s
electrical apparatus. On trial it is
found that an animal will dart back
from the fence every time, and very
soon learns to avoid the wires as
they do the barbed ones. By sim
pie key the force of the shock is
easily regulated.

Warrensburg is the county seat
of j Johnson county, Missouri, and is
a small but prosperous town on the
Missouri Pacific railroad. Recently
seventy of its leading citizens met,
took counsel together, and estab-
lished on a permanent basis soci-
ETY. to give aid and encouragement
to all such enterprises as would
contribute to the rapid growth and
prosperity Of the town. Fhis, says
the ST. Joseph Gazette, can mean
only one thing-a spirit of push,
liberality, harmony of action, and a
fixed determination to dominate the
whole surrounding situation. And
it can easily be done. Whenever
seventy leading men of any commu-
nifty band themselves together for
the purpose of increasing trade,
commerce, and manufacture, the
whole population in time begin to
act as one man, and accomplish
some Of the most satisfactory results
known to general business.

Flowers Colored by Absorrtiou.

At a late social the prince of
Wales is said to have carried bou-
quet of large lilies tinted with del
icate pink and blue, by the absorb
tion of dyes through the stems.
The dyes do not in the least affect
the perfume of the flowers. The pro-
cess Is the discovery of Mr.. Nesbit.
1t is said the flowers will not absorb
certain colors. Some of the lilies
which had been treated with a pur-
pie dye separated the red and the
blue, the colors being divided in
the process Of absorption.

Young men at school and college
are very apt to be enraptured with a
sparkling eye, rosy cheek, or some
charm of manner in some young
women that they happen to meet.
They are hardly masters of them
selves; and a moonlight night, or a
song, suddenly tempts them to ask
the enchanting creature 1who has
bewitched them to share their fu-
ture. They do not consider that
she will be the most real active
force in their whole lives, almost ir-
resistible with power to drag them
down or to lift them up in body,

The value of the seed of both
broom corn and sorghum, articles
now generally thrown away and
wasted by farmers who grow them,
is being more appreciated every
year. When properly cleaned and
ground they both make excellent
human food, especially in the form
of breakfast batter cakes. When
chopped up like corn and oats, for
cattle, they make superior, palata
bic and most nourishing feed. They
should, by no means, be allowed to
go to waste, but ought to be as care
fully garnered and cared for las any
other feed.

An exchange tells of man who
plants two or three weeks after the
crop Is planted a new hill of corn
every fifteenth row each way. And
this is the reason; If the weather
becomes dry after the filling time
the silk and tassel both become dry
and dead. In this condition, if 1t
should become seasonable, the silk
revives and renews its growth, but
the tassels do not recover. Then
for want of pollen, the new silk is
unable to fill the Office for which it
is designed. The pollen from the
planted corn is then ready to sup
ply silk, and the filling is compile
ted. He says nearly all the abortive
ears so common in all corn crops
are caused by the want of pollen,
and he has known ears to double
in size in this filling.
