Besides the country has made more

than ever before in its history, faster than
any other country ever did. The census

these:
"Will you do me the favor to 60
with me2 A lady wishes to see you"
BY the promenade wall the old SOL
der was led to where woman ofsixty
stood with younger woman and a boy
of twelve. The elder lady extended
her hand, and as he placed his own
within it, understanding that it was ex-
pected of him, he found it grasped con-
vulsively. Looking up surprised, he
saw that the lady's eyes were filled with
tears. They were not sad tears.
"You do not remember me, sir p
81 do not, madam, yet the voice.
He paused.
"Nor him ?" pointing to the stately
looking man who had just accosted
him. 81 do not wonder at that. Car
ry your memory back twenty>one years
to where you crossed the Black river
on your march to the Walnut Hills
and stopped to-"
He remembered her then.
"This is my son-the boy we thought
was dying. This is his wife and this
placing the boys hand in his-is his
son. Let us go where we can sit quietly
and talk. Ny heart is too full. 1
knew you, sir, instantly. have never
forgotten you nor Gen. Blair, for you
saved all l held worth saving then"
The old soldier had not anticipated
so happy an afternoon. Such honors
are something to live for, and the
crumbs so cast upon the waters of life
are worth eating when they float back
our way.

A Big Farm.

Mcpherson Grant and John Dale.
zell, two Scotch and English gentle
men, have bought for $1,000, 900 cash
a tract of land in Chihauhau and Du>
range, Mexico, 70 by % miles, or g.
100, 400 acres. The title to the lands
was perhaps the most ancient of any
upon the American continent. This
was the first transfer that had been
made in 200 years. Longer ago than
that the King of Spain conveyed this
tract of country to the ancestry of Don
Antonio Ansusala, where it had re-
manned and descended from generation
to generation until the present time.
More than one thousand people as
tenants are living upon this soil, grow
ing corn and coffee, and wheat near the
villages, and sheep and cattle in the
mountains. An additional 81, 900, 900
is to be invested in cattle, blood horses
and agricultural implements. This
farm was not quite big enough for the
two capitalists, as they have contracted
for 100000 acres adjoining. The sale
of the first mentioned property includ.
ed several thousand horses, mules, hogs,
oxen, harness, tools, &c.

BUSYBODIES.

1t is fact as I've been told,
That people in the days of old,
Got rich in silver and in gold,
No matter what they bought or sold,
By minding their own business.
They did not try to wound ones fame,
Or sladdei anybody's name;
They cared not whether you went or came.
They pleased themselves--you did the same,
If it was your own business.
And ii man did what was right
In his own mind, and in the Sight
OF God and law, by day and night,
He went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined in his business.
But in degenerate modern days
There's quite change iRpeople's ways.
And what person does ofsays
Must be held up unto the gaze
OF every busybody.
And ifyou do not tell them, too,
Where you are going, and what to do,
They get into such an awful stew,
They'll even watch and follow YOU.
These very busybodies.
But if we take the pains to see
Who these same busYbodies be,
Well find there's not a he or she,
Who has decent history,
Among these busybodies.
But let us no more notice take
OF evil tongues; but for their sake,
Well hope and pray they soon may wake
From wickedness, and money make
By minding their own business

Old Shoes.

Even old shoes are valuable. They
are cut up in small pieces, and these
are put for couple of days in chloride
of sulphur, which makes the leather
very hard and brittle. After this is
effected, the material is washed in
water, dried, ground to powder, and
mixed with some substance which
makes the particles adhere together, as
shellace, good glue, or thick solution of
gum. 1t is then shaped into combs,

act proportion to the products of the
soil, the statistics showing as an inva.
rible rule that the most money flows
into that section which is DIVIDED and
subdivided into small and smaller farms.
The main difficulty, however, Just at
present lies not so much in over
farming as to acreage, as in under
farming as to skill and care. The above
criticism, from one who, living in
pastoral State, is himself a competent
judge of what he saw and writes about,
and while it hurts to read it, is un>
questionably true and, therefore, calls
all the more loudly for our earnest con,
sideratiOn and remedial plans. These
may not, will not follow Immediately
on the heels of written criticisms, such
as the one you now read, but are to
come to us through the immigration of
thrifty class of workers who will come
among us with their thrift and skill
and teach us how to do 1t. Every ef-
fort should be made to secure the loca.
ton of such colonies. Better still,
every effort should be made to secure
the location of one such farmer in a
neighborhood. And every courtesy
and aid which our Southern chivalry
and hospitality can devise, should be
extended to the newcomer to make his
stay green spot in his life, and his
example profit to our sons and hire
lings. The leayen once started would
quickly spread, and the result would
inevitably be beneficial to the locality
so favored.
In writing thus we do not wish to be
understood as advising the cotton or
sugar planter to abandon a well.known
and profitable business for truck farm>
ing, but to urge he who has an old
field to put it in grass, or if he likes it
better, to blackberries Or to jute or
watermelons; and so on. Each one
will see or think he sees in what direc.
ton his profit is to be found and be
free to follow the inclination of his own
tastes. If your place presents the
proper conditions go to raising blooded
stock, or sheep, or horses. But for
goodness sake don't expend all your
energies and mortgage all your children
may inherit from you, trying to follow
the igniStatuaIs of your grandfather's
plans when you know that you are
yearly growing poorer through them.
The tendency is to lay the blame on
the season, or the seed, or ill.luck in
securing help at the critical time. Of
course, all these are drawbacks, but
they can be and are surmounted, and
there is no more disgrace in changing
an ill'yOrking plan than in changing
your worn.out and ill-ftting clothes for
new ones that look well and fit you
comfortably. With a new deal, mod.
ern methods and a thrifty care in
Southern husbandry, we may expect,
nay, be sure, that we will command
the markets of the world.
