EXPERIMENT STATION.

Nv act of the Legislature, the State Ex-
pertinent Station, located ut the college, was
abolished on Oct. /, 1887 In accordance
with one of the provisions OF the same ACT
Tho nroperty held by the Station was trans
serrrd TO aud became the property of the
college on the date named. As the State
had appropriated money for the expenses OF
the Station through the year 1887. 1t seemed
only lust to continue its work to the close OF
the year, as planned by its Board OF Controi
and as requested by them. The organization
however, under which the new Station Is do
ing its work, is that required by the Ha'ch
bill. approved March 2, 1887.
The state of Maine and this College have
fulfilled all conditions required to enhtie the
college to the full benefits of the money de-
s;gned 10 be appropriated by the Hatch bill
which further legislation is necessary to make
available. The Secretary of the Treasury
has nromised TO include this item, aud there
il reason to believe that the college will yet
race;ye its PROPORTIONAL amount OF money
from this source.
The report of Chas. l.. Phillips. Professor
in Military Science and Tactics, shows tnis

speaks in the same general terms of the
prosperity and progress which has attended
the college as do the trustees. The adj
yanced conditions of admission to the college
sanctioned at the meeting of the trustees in
November, 1856, will go into effect at the
next commencement. Decided advance has
been made in the condition of the buildings
and in the material equipment of the college.
The action of the trustees at the April meet
ms. 1887, whereby the farm was put under
the personal control of the Professor of
Agriculture, places it in the same relation to
the college as that which we find existing IN
nearly all institutions that were established
under the act of Congress, 1852.

Another year has gone. 1t has
sunk like drop of rain into the
unbelievable ocean of the past.
The oceans of earth yield up TO the
influences of the beam and the
breeze the drops that fall into their
waters, but the bOundless deeps of
the past give naught back that sinks
into their silent and rolling
surges. A year is but little space
and vet what a vast record each
wear bears with it from the world.
Year after year is steal
ing the world from us, and the des-
tined wear will steal us from the
world. The years fly forever, but,
like the Parthian, they wound and
STAY in their flight Deaths present
minister, they will be at last his con-
0ueror Yes, another
Gift Of time is ours. A new year
has begun it's awful flight, to pause
not till its great mission is fulfilled.
What its mission shall be we cannot
knOw-thank God, we cannot know.
We may strain our aching eyes to-
ward the future, but all is dark and
impenetrable as the midnight of
death. We know that mighty things
shall be, Tor such belong to all the
years of time, but further we may
not know. No seers and prophets
stand up to speak with solemn vol
ces the mysteries of the future. But
the power is in mercy vOuchsafed u
us to do much, very much, to make
our own future. Here, upon the new
years threshold, let us, while devot-
ing ourselves to God, devote our
selves also to our country"

No society is more profitable be-
cause more refining and provocative
of virtue than that of refined and
sensible women, God enshrined pc
cuEar goodness in the form of the
woman that her beauty might win,
her gentle voice invite and the de
sire of her favor persuade mems
sterner souls to leave the paths of
sinful strife for the ways of peas
antneSS and peace. But when wO-
man falls from her blessed eminence
and sinks the guardian and cher
Usher of pure and rational enjoy
mentS into the vain coquette and
flattered idolatOr Of idle fashion she
is unworthy of an honorable mans
love or q sensible mans admiration.
To be our companions women should
be fitted to be our friends, to rule
our hearts they should be deserving
Interpretation of our minds. There
are many such, and that there are
not more is rather the fault of our
sex than their own; and despite all
the unmanly scandals that have
been thrown upon them in prose OF
verse they would rather share in the
national conversation of men of
sense than listen to the silly eOmpli
ments of fools, and q man dishOnors
them, as well as disgraces himself,
when be seeks their circle for idle
pastime and not for the improve
ment of his mind and the elevation

of the capital; whereupon they may
receive circulating notes, registered
and countersigned, equal to go per

WEST yIIGINIA DEMOCRAT JANUARY 20, 1855.
The Democrat Appeals
to Thoughtful Men.
Ifthose who appreciate the
value of this paper will show
it to their neighbors our sub
scription will double. By
helping this paper, farmers
help themselves, because it
fights their battles.


We submit the following to
those persons likely TO compre-
bend the money value 10 them
of a journal that is truthful, whose
editorials are written by the ablest
men in the State and whose sole OBJ
iect is to bring about intelligent
voting. If this paper had 5000 cir
culation evenly scattered over the
State for one year the people would
understand public men and public
measures a hundred times better
than they now do. BY universal
consent we give more information
useful to voters than any other pub
LEGATION. 1t is a new departure in
journalism in that it is a State pa
per as distinguished from local
paper 1t is as different from the
ordinary county newspaper as it is
from a comic almanac. We do not
expect subscriptions from men who
prefer nonsense, but we have a right
to expect the patronage of men who
think, who are more intelligent than
the average Of their neighbors, who
wish to keep posted on current ques-
tions, and who desire TO obtain solid
information.
The price is too trifling to consid-
err; it is less than two cents week.
The % copies we furnish for 81
costs us between 80 and 90 cents.
This enterprise was not undertaken
to make money. There was need
for a PUBLIC paper as distinguished
from a PRIVATE paper; there was a
need for a journal whose utterauces
would not be warped by reward nor
intimidated by threats. The DEMO
Graf was established to supply this
need. While we already reach a
much larger audience in West Vir-
giuia than any other publication,
vet it is not one-third as large as 1t
should be. Our object is to force a
discussion oEquestions that concern
the immediate welfare OF the citizen.
Our object is to force politicians to
seek popular favor by faithful ef-
forts TO do what is in their Judgment
is best for the public veal. We trust
those receiving this issue will take
the trouble to remit subscriptions.
We do not understand why intelli-
gent men are not quick to support
this paper.
Our aim Is quality, not quantity
But any one who wants "family
reading" can have it almost by the
cart load by taking the Franklin
Magazine in conjunction with the
DEMOCRAT.
The coming year will be full OF
interest, and no one reading this
paper will be ignorant 0f any event
of public concern.
