FITS the Farmers Chance in the North.
More than thirty eight, a majority, of
the delegates elect of the constitutional
convent on, says a reviewer, are farmers.
They are, as some discriminating critic
has said, North Dakota farmers. That
implies they are broad-gauge men, who
have views of their own and respect for the
views of others. Many of them are Red
river valley farmers, and that means they
are big farmers. They will determine the
character of the constitution, and If not
plagued by any indiscreet antagonisms, tile
result will doubtless be satisfactory.
There are probably few aspirants for state
Offices among them. There is only one
editor, Parsons. of the 7trtle Mountain.
Star. in their midst. There is only one
preacher, Rev. Ezra Turner, of Bottine ~
county. There are only few bankers,
and none of them millionaires. There are
thirteen lawyers. Mischief is almost i'm
possible in convention SO near the peo-

THE VETERAN ABOLITIoNIsr,

Mr., Oliver johnson, the veteran abu-
litonist, author and editor, PASSED away
at his home in Brooklyn, N, Y, last
week. For two years he had been a
great invalid and sudden chill brought
on The fatal illness Had he lived until
the 9Th OF December he would have
been 80 years old. A native of Peacham,
VT, his apprenticeship in the printing
business was spent in the Green Noun
tain State in the Office OF the Wdtchmdl
at Montpelier. Four days after he at
tanned his majority he became editor Of
new paper, The Christian Soldier" /"
and from that time up to the last year
of the war he devoted his time and labor
to the nti-slavery cause as lecturer
and as an editor, manager and contribu-
tor to newspapers. During the next
five years he was the managing editor
of The Independent, resigning 10 1870 tn
become editor OF the New York Weekly
Tribune. His contributions to the oIri
bune continued many years after that,
but his official connection was ended in
1879, when he accepted the post OF man
aging editor OF the Christian Union.
One Of the most noted works was the
book on civilian Lloyed Garrison and
His Times, embodyiDg sketches of the
anti-slavery movement in America and
of the man whom Mr.. johnson regarded
as "its founder and moral leader" The
poet, John e.. Whittier, wrote the intro
dution to this book. Mr.. JohDson's iden
tification with the work of Garrison was
begun the earliest. He was a member
of the first anti slavery society formed
in America and thus helped lay the foun-
dation OF that organized movement
which was at last to be irresistible

NERVOUS CHILDREN

want to say word about nervous
children. Never scold or make fun of
them. They suffer enough without your
hreats or sarcasm. Don't let them
know you see their awkwardness when
in company nor their grimances when
alone. A case was reported by the Bos-
ton Globe of boy ten years old who, on
neing vexed, and often without any ap-
parent provocation, will clinch his hands
and make the most frightful contortions
Vt the muscles of his face and head, till
his poor mother fears he is idiotlc. BY
no means. He is the brightest boy in
his class at school, fond of reading and
If natural history, but he is of highly
nervous temperament, and has not been
taught to control his little wires, so to
speak, on which he is strung. This is no
single case. There are thousands Of
children who give way to their nerves in
a similar fashion. Never whip them,
but talk 10 them about these curious lit
tie strings, that should be made their
servants, not their masters. A promi-
nent physician in this city says the man
pr woman who whips nervous child
should for every blow given receive five,
and is on level with brutes that have
no reason. 1t is our duty to encourage
and help them. Be patient with them.
They are the making of our future sue
cessful men and women, for they will
work hard at whatever they undertake.
Brace up your own nerves first, and then
he indulgent toward the capers OF your
overnervous Christian Union.

VERMONT FARMING.

Vermont is remarkable for Its small

are very rare, and only In small patches.
There is hardly field 10 the State which
cannot be drained at moderate expense.
Even the mountains, with few excep-
tions, unlike those of New Hampshire,
are timbered to their summits; 80 that
there is practically no land in the State
which may not be made serviceable for
tillage, pasture, or growth Of wood OF

land was cleared on the high bills and
spurs OF mountains, which was mani

woodland, constituting large portions Of
some farms. Leaving this to resume itt
normal condition is not sign OF decay

ers, especially as age advances, seek q
home in the village, but carry on their
land as usual, and suffer the old build
ings to decline. ...I ..f
Others have bought out their mIgrat-
ing neighbors, stored the products ol
