halph Waldo Emerson, in one of his lee
lures describes with the clear sweep of a
painter the vital necessity of energy and
labor TO even the most gifted. In the present
day OF steam and punctuality, the lazy man,
no matter how extraordinary his reouire-
ments, must ALWAYS fall behind in the race
OF human life. Emerson says:

he had doubled his crops, but since he has never
been able to double again. He had also derived
more pleasure in starting the improvement than
in keeping 1t up. He concluded that it must be
more difficult to make good land rich than in
making poor land good There must be more
profit in making land increase In yield IRON to
10 barrels of corn than in bringing up the yield
from 10 or IL to 20barres.
Judge Waters said that a certain amount of
fertilizer would produce greater results on poor
than on good land. On land producing three or
four barrels of corn, fertilizers might increase the
yield to 10 barrels. On good land the same
amount might add only four barrels. Where
there is a limit to progress the nearer you ap-
proach that limit the slower you get. Thus, in
training trotting horse, If he is capable of
speed, it s easier to increase his speed 10 seconds
than it is afterwards to increase 1t quarter Of
second more but 1t is the last quarter of second
that adds so much to the value of the horse. The
same way in farming. The same labor and fer

All that yon raise over that gives greater per
centage OF profit The quality of land has much
to do with its capacity for improvement If you
cannot by any means get over 10 barrels of corn
10 the acre, don't spend money trying to get 20.
VIM, G. Wilson said he would rather endeavor
TO make good land rich than to try to make poor
land good, but there is more profit in the latter
and more credit In the former. He had taken
poor land and made II good but 1t does not seem
to get better, although he uses as much fertilizer
as ever.
Thomas Lochary thought that the fertilizers
Mr. Woolsey had put on his land since it would
produce ~ barrels Of corn to the acre, would
nave bought five or six farms that would yield
ID or IL barrels per acre. The difference in the
action of the fertilizers would overbalance the
greater amount of labor on the poorer farms.

A great orator was once addressing a vast
crowd, when right in the midst of an impas-
stoned sentence he paused, pressed his hand
upon his forehead, as If he was faint and
quietly said: II pause for moment, the air
is close; indeed, the crowd is so great that
we will adjourn to the open air. will sit
down and rest while, as quietly as possible,

and at the same time give more air, let the

in the midst of his speech he saw the pillars
under the gallery yielding to the crushing
weight, and that multitude was about to be
engufed in ruin. But his thoughtfulness
saved them-an alarming cutlery would have
been destruction.

He Felt the Last One

An old negro was engaged at thirty cents
a day at the last term of the court in Martins
vile to place his head at an opening as target
for parties who paid five cents for three
throws of base ball at it, The old fellow
was struck at least 100 times on the top of
the head by hard base ball thrown from a
short distance and didn't even wink, until a
man who could throw the ball with the force
of shot from gun struck him on the head.
When the ball struck him he scratched his
head and asked his employer how many
hours he had to put In. The man told him
he had earned twenty cents "Well, give

WHO BIDEs HIS TIME.

Who bides his time and day by day
Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortune be.
He will not fail in any qualm
OF poverty-the paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his tlme-he tastes the sweet
OF honey in the safest tear.
And though he fares with slowest feet,
Joy runs to meet him, drawing near;
The birds are heralds of his cause,
And like never-ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time. and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves,
Shall wear cool wreathed laurel, wrought
With crimson bearies in the leaves,
And he shall reign goodly king,
And sway his hand Der every cline,
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

At the Grand on next Monday evening,
September 9TH. the Thompson Opera Com
pany will present, with strong company,
the Mikado, as played by them six consecu-
tive weeks in Cincinnati. The following is
from the Cincinnati Enquirer. "'The Mika-
do has undoubtedly caught the town, and it
really is no wonder, Tor the dialogue is witty
and the music wonderfully catchy, snd in the
manner in which the opera is produced by
the Thompson Opera Company, is as
nearly perfection as the performance can be.
The costumes are the most beautiful
seen in any production that has taken
place in this city tor many a day, and the
company is the most evenly balanced one
that it has been our pleasure to listen to. W.
+. McCollin, as "Ko-Ko" supplies the fun
that lies in the opera, and all the time he is
on the stage he keeps the audience laughing
to an unlimited extent. Miss France D. Hall
plays her part of "Yum- Yum" with all the
dash and sport the part calls for. The chorus
is good and work very hard, and the result
of it is that the whole production is excellent"

Mr. James Buford was fully vndicated by
the LoBE-REPUBLIC yesterday concerning
the silly but outrageous lie sought to be
placed upon him in regard to his having
come out tor Hoadly. The atiidavits that
were promised to substantiate the alleged
statements of Mr. Buford have petered out
most beautifully, s liars generally back
down when faced by the frozen and thaw-
less facts as given oy Mr.. Buford in this
paper. The foregoing is all that is necessary
to be said in his defense, unless it may be
added that something more plausible must be
invented against Mr.. Butord before it will be
believed, and such Stiffness cannot injure
him just because he is n colored man, and the
republican candidate for in6rmary director.

ford's enemies as all silly lies do.

1t is not what we eat that makes us strong,
