| As an art, agriculture had reached as high
a point one hundred years ago rs it occupies
today but the science of agriculture is the
work OF the past nifty years, and the better
| part of it has been developed since 1850.
The centennial of chemistry was celebrated
IN 1874, in Europe and America, and our az
r'cultural chemistry as specific branch be-
longs to that date. Through it has come the
philosophical theories of manures, nutrition
of cattle, fattehing, wool production, aud the
chemistry of the dairy, besides the many
new inventions aud appliances of our time.
| The marvellous pr rfection of our agriculiu-
raj machinery is surprising. The first agri
cultural professorship was established in
lo+7. Now look at our agricultural colleges
and experiment stations, and see the daz-
zling picture of American agriculture, stand
| ing out before our eyes, with equal splendor
TO that of American manufactures aud COM

is not complete. This continent bearing 60
millions of people, is yet to bear twice its
number in many States, and then not be as
Ihickly populated as Europe. In America
We have a larger proportion of farmers who
own the farms they TIL and have more money
IN the savings banks than any other farming
community in the world. The agriculture of

A Fast Mail Service.

We received on the 31st of January
a letter mailed at Manchester on the
12th-just 10 days enroute. 1t bore
no marks by which we could tell

gions of the great Lakes or basking

all the same, for which we are very
thankful as it contained subscrip-
ton remittance. We have had occas-

in their daily duties. Premonitory symp-

LOVE ME NOW.

If you're ever going to love me,
Love me know while | can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow,
Love me now while am living,
Do not wait till am gone,
And then chlsel 1t in marble
Warm love-words on ice-cold stone.
If you've dear, sweet thoughts about me,
Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know 'twould make me happy,
AS glad as glad can be?
If you wait till am sleeping,
Meier to waken here again,
Therell be walls of earth between us
And l couldn't hear you then.
If you knew some one was thirsting
For drop of water sweet,
Would you be so slow to bring 1T!
Would you step with laggard feet?
There are tender hearts all round us
Who are thirsting for our love;
Shall we begrudge to them what heaven
Has kindly sent us from above?
won't need your kind caresses
When the grass grows DER my face;
won't crave your love or kisses
In my last, low resting place,
So, if you do love me any,
If it's but little bit,
I'd rather know it now, while l
Can, living, own and treasure it.

Growing Army Of Criminals.

The criminal statistics Of the country
present two very discouraging features.
They show that the increase of criminals
is out of all proportion to the increase in
population, and that this disproportionate
increase is almost entirely among the
young. The warden of the Joliet peni-
tertiary, in a recent address, stated that
the criminals Of the United States num-
bered 100000, and that the increase in
criminals during the past thirty years has
been twice as great proportionally as the
increase in population. Worse than this,
he claims that of this half million more
than one-third, or 10000, are under 20
years of age; more than one-half, or ESQ.,
900, under 81 years of age, and two-thirds,
or 333, 800, are under % years of age. In
other words, there are two young Grim
inals to one old one.

one-tenth, or $4,000, are in confinement
in penal institutions at any one time, the

A Remarkable Occurrence In an Old
Family at Readsboro.
Readsboro, Feb. 3.-An Associa-
ted Press reporter has investigated
the case of Mrs. Lois Bishop, report
ed to have come to life after she was
thought dead. Her home is with her
son, Dexter Bishop, about six miles
from Readsboro village. Mrs. Bish-
CD has been rather feeble since last
September, when she fell, hurting her
hip. OF late she has experienced con-
siderable difficulty in breathing while
lying down, and has been obliged to
sit up most of the time. When in
one of these upright positions, she
called the family around her, and
babe all "good-bye" and then, to all
appearances, died. She was laid out
ON the bed and her hands and arms
turned purple, and her feet became
cold. After few hours, she show
ed signs of returning consciousness.
Wine forced between her lips revived
her; and she has since been improv-
ing. After recovering, she said she
heard voice saying, "Mother." II
was that of her son, Franklin, who
died in the West about so years ago
She also heard voice saying
"Lois." She said "What? Ther
it continued: 81 have been great,
afflicted" This was spoken whil'
the family thought her dead and tn
wine was then given her. The las
} voice she heard was that of her hus
2 band, who died 35 years ago. She

The Political Hub.

For generations the people have
been taught that Boston was the hub
around which, not only New Eng
land, but the whole universe, daily re-
volved. Nor do we attempt to contro-
vert il, in fact, this notion has be-
come so ingrafted upon all minds that
a denial upon our part would only re-
suit in the questioning of the same
ness of the editorial mind. However,
we rise to remark that Boston is not
the only hub. Like the great plane
tarv system of tho universe, there are
worlds upon worlds and systems upon
systems, each having center of its
own ard each in turn revolving around
q greater one, and so on dd iafnitum.
So our readers will pardon us when
we say, the hub that we have in view
is not the big hub, the father OF all
hubs, but the, comparatively, little,
nickel plated, brass ornamented hub
of st. Adams in the old Green
Mountain state, that just now as
sumes to be the political hub of YER
mont, and around which, in obedience
to the masters wand, various bodies,
great( Oand small, are hovering-try-
ing to find an orbit. The disinterest-
ed observer need stretch his magma
ton but little, as he looks upon the
motley crowd, to believe that the IN
mates of some cave of Adullam had
been turned loose. Fist and most
prominent. are the paid attorneys OF
the C. V. R., and closely following
oomes the next of Kin to his excellen-
Nv the master of ceremonies; then

ranks have been timed, somewhat,
of late years by the wedding out OF
the Improbable ones, yet they form
an imposing body. 1t is noticeable
that they are led by men wearing thu
judicial ermine and by high state Of
ficals next in order, and here comes
the typical Adullamite, are crowds o
han gers-on, little fellows who ape tn
manners or follow the lead OF som
local master. These come from, al
most, every town in the state. The
are a tough looking set-look, we I'm
agine, something like Darwin's mis-
sing link, and no wonder, for if the
ever had any brains their master
l carry them in their pockets. Pot
S fellows! AS they can't have the US
a of their brains-in fact have no III
for them-they are in hopes, by col
tinually revolving around the throl
i to pick up crumb, if nothing mo
than an occasional free ride or sml
from the local boss. Great is &c
y tripetar power, and it will be exert
ell to the uttermost until June to Ike
these fellows in motion, when the pr
pie mean to arise and dispense

are eighty-seven manufacturers and
wholesalers and !, 200 retailers, and they
use more than 81, 900, 600 of capital and
consume 100, 600 tons of sugar every year.
Caramels are great speciality of the trade
in that city. For other places much
chocolate and walnut candy and many
gum drops are made. Six tons of gum
drops were shipped from Philadelphia to
