most pleasant occupation. ''How de.
lightful it is to work in the beauti-
full fields on midsummer day and
listen to the birds sing their sweet
songs"
Yes, It must be delightful indeed to
hear the birds, with the sweat steaming
off persons face, and he expecting every
moment to lie sunstruck.
Where is the fun in the hay field, with
the dust and dirt flying and sticking TO
you2
Who loves to help at threshing time 2
Not the average man. Very few farmers
have less than solid weeks threshing,
while many do not get off that easy.
Still, books try to make out, farmers
life is pleasant.
These agricultural writers never, or
hardly ever, mention the coldness of a
pitch-fork handle on q winters morning.
The stables must be cleaned out and
bcdded we'll. The managers must all
be filed with hay or straw, the horses
curried and watcred, the cattle driven
out to the well where the farmer mounts
the platform and works with the pump
handle for the next hour. While he is at
this pleasant (?) Job, the snow is blow
ing up into his ears. mouth and eyes. l
have heard farmers say, "the stock is
always the thirstiest on the coolest morn
ings."
After this is finished, ye farmer be-
takes himself, with pail of water in
each hand, to the hog pen. Some have
we'll near their hog pen, but there are
many more who have not.
Rarely a morning passes but what a
little Gust q little) water is spilled on
his ,lothcs to freeze. Next comes the
all important Job of hauling fodder.
This caps the climax, if I mag so speak,
for this surely is the worst.
With the scoop shovel, knife, and the
hayrack upon the sled, &c farmer pro-
ceeds to the fodder field.
This is the way he goes at it: First, he
takes the scoop, and shovcls nearly ton
of snow away from the shock. Next, he
takes the knife and cuts the band, and
with blood in his eye tackles the shock {.
You can imagine what fun it is, wrest-
ling with fodder, snow and wind all at
the same time.
The books leave out this part, and just
tell of the fun in a farmers life, which
is very little, as I can tell you.
1t is not very pleasant to 60 down to
the city and get cheated out of about
fifty per cent. of your money by rascals
on every side. The farmer gets cheated
and lied to more than any other laborer:
He unconsciously gets beaten by coal
dealers, grain buyers, merchants and
other persons, too numerous to mention.
We would be very thankful if some
one would point out the fun in the life
of the farmer, for one, have not found
it.
If there is any such thing. it is be-
yond our comprehension. We have little
faith in the old song:
THE farmer, the farmer forever,
Three cheers for the plow, spade and hoe

Failure Of Gooseberries.

Gooscberry bushes are exceedingly
subject to mildew in the American
climate and are most disappointing to
the growers. There are q few wild
varieties, one of which it is probable

the cultivated kinds. A few cultivated
kinds are moderately free from the mil
dew and in cool shady spots will bear
abundantly. This fruit requires exceed
ingly rich soil, and it is useless to try to
grow them without plenty of manure.

Why The South is Prosperous.

s'The South is building more rail
roads than any other section" says
the Springfield Republican. There is
nothing remarkable in the statement,
but its truthfulness. The South is
building more railroads, more facto-
ries and founderies than any other
section because there is greater pro6t
to be derived from industrial enter
prise in THIS part Of + the country than
n any other section OF sections Of the
United States.
The fact that we desire to impress
upon our Massachusetts, contempo-
rary, and upon all the other newspa-
pers of the North is that the South
is prosperous because it is now, and
has been for the past ten or twelve
years, under the control Of its own
people. So long asst is permitted to
exercise the right OF local self-govern-
ment it will continue to prosper. So
soon as Cangress begins to interfere
with the just and equal administra-
ton OF the laws in this section the
South will stand still OF retrograde.-

Getting TheK Eyes Open.

The negroes in the North are be-
ginning to get their eyes open. In
Pennsylvania last week the executive
committee of the colored league OF
that State met and adopted an ad-
dress to the negro voters of the State,
in which they are urged to vote for
the Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer. The address complains
that the Republican party never prop
erly recognized the aid given it by the
colored people, and as evidence of the
truth of the statement, reference is
made to the absence of negroes in the
Pennsylvania legislature. It is also
maintained that the workshops of the
State, mainly controlled by Republi-
cans, are closed to negro labor, while
foreigners, who do not intend to be-
come citizens, are given employment.
Southern colored people are asked to
leave the Republican party, to cease
to be dead martyrs, and become liv-
ing expcnents of a real New South.

Against Somber Garments.

A number of English women of
high standing in society have begun a
crusade against the mourning gar
ments which the customs of TIE times
compel them to wear. They are not
pioneers in this undertaking. Several
times before assaults have been made
upon the pagan and barbaric fashion
of loading women down with Grape
and somber robes of black when
death overtakes any one near OF dear
to them. Their predecessors in the
advocacy of this refolm have had lit
tie success.
Why should woman make herself
hideous and miserable by means of
overwhelming wells and funeral trap
pings? Oh, say the defenders of this
relic of barbarism, women wear
mourning because in them the emo
tons of sorrow are stronger and deep
er than in men, and the outward garb
of woe is the symbolic the grief they
feel within. Here and there woman
of hystarical bent may persuade her
self that she is grieving more because
she has on a four ply Grape veil and a
bonnet the shape, color, and weight OF
a coal scuttle, but if the rule Of soci-
ETY. that woman must indicate her
griet by the immensely and inkiness
of her clothes were abolished we be-
lieve the great majority of women
would gladly fly to healthier and less
hideous attire.
It is fashion, that silly and cruel
tyrant, that DEGREES the weaker sex
shall be toruented with reminders OF
their bereavement in their dress. Nc
matter how ugly, how harmful, OF
how ridiculous thing may be, il
fashion says it is to be done it is done
without question or complaint by nine.
tenths of the women in the civilized
world. So mourning will continue tc
be worn in its exaggerated form IL
spite of all the crusades the minority
of sensible women may wage against
it. If men had to share the pains anc
inconyeniences OF mourning there
would he a radical reform at once
Men escape almost scot free, however

A Dangerous Expedient
ICot,.mIiQ ReiiNel'. :.

It is stated that at arecent meeting
of the national cotton committee o
the Farmers Alliance. held in Atlanta
it was agreed to recommend that the
various sub-alliances take steps tx
urge the holding of special sessions o
the several legislatures in the Cotton
States, with view to the passage O
laws suspending for six months the
collection OF debts-this in order thai
the farmers may not be forced to sci
their cotton until they can bring Liv
erpool to terms.
Many objections are apparent upor
the very face OF this suggestion. Ii
the first place it seeks to invoke legis.
lation in the interest Of one class
without the slightest consideration fol
the rights OF any other. 1t strikes at
the very foundation of proper busi-
ness relations-good faith between
the debtor and the creditor. 1t seeks
to do by legislation that which no we'll
ordered business community will toll
crate of it's own accord. 1t seeks to
punish, and to prevent, the aggression
Of capital by impairing the obligation
of contracts honestly made. 1t would
include in the offending class all cred
itors, whatever the nature or the ex.
tent of the claims which they hold
To be effective of the result sought, it
must even divest the liens or mort
cages and other like contracts delib.
erately made by the farmer in the reg
ular course of his business. A more
desperate resort was never suggested
for the abatement of any evil. It af-
fords the first evidence of purpose
on the part of the Alliance to use their
power to induce class legislation-and
this in form without sanction in the
standards of mercantile honesty and
almost without precedent in the action
of any State Legislature.
The nearest approach to the statute
said to have been suggested by the
Alliance committee is the Stay Law
passed by our own legislature during
the war, and re-eracted just after it.
That statute was less Objectionable
than that said to have been proposed
by the Alliance committee, because
the Act was intended to succor, not a
particular class of debtors, but the
people in general. That law had only
to be submitted TO the test of Judicial
inquiry for it to be declared uncon-
and void-this on the
ground that the law impaired the OBJ
legation of contracts. Such, doubt
less, would be the fate of the law now
suggested as means of enabling the
farmers to make better fight against
the jute trust and the Liverpool op-
orators.
We trust that the suggestion of the
Atlanta committee will be repudiated
by the Farmers Alliance in South
Carolina, and this on the ground that
it seeks to commit the order to expe-1
dients which involve the temporary
of honest debts and the
embarrassment of merchants who
have given credits to the farmers.

To Remove Sunburn and Freckles.

To get off the freckles, to cause the
sunburn to disappear, You have got
to put on your face and neck, and on
your arms, darkened by battling with
the waves, a mixture of two parts Of
Jamaica rum to.one of lemon juice:
dabble it we'll on the surface, let it
dry, and wash it off in the morning
in your hot bath. Besides whitening
the skin, which the lemon does, the
rum gives it vigor and makes a rosy
flush come to the surface. You will
gain no good from this by doing it
for one OF two nights: keep It up for
two weeks at the least, and remember
that when your skin has that depress
ed, worn out look that comes from
sitting up too late at night, nothing
will invigorate it like few drops of
Jamaica rum put into the water with
which you wash your face.
