by our Southern States. Climate,

Health, wealth and happiness there
awaits the emigrant. Northern capi-

safe and profitable investment. North
ern enterprise is needed to open new
avenues of wealth, and it is sure to
reap harvest in return. Northern

Southern Drawn and brain in pushing

A SIGH OF JOY.

Gone the ermine coat that dcckel the
earth,
The lingering, frost, the chilling rain;
All! Winter, thy hopes are vain
All must g i've place to Springs laughter
and mirth;
joys dream, that conquers all the earth
Beauty with rapture wild brings strange
despair,
Which takes all that is divine to bear.
springtime is waking the sleeping year,
And the sunshine, bright and clear,
with rapturous glow fills the atmospheric,
And warns the ground where the vic lets
spring
From the dead leaves The birds sing
Loud and glad upon the trees;
A vernel fragrance steals among the
leaves.
The ba,my air comes softly from the
skies,
Kissing the sweet daisys yellow eyes; IT,.
Weakening the murmurin5 stream to gen
tie flow
Along the bank green grass begins tc
grow;
Overhead million tints of green -.
Bursting from the interacing twigs is
seen,
And all is fair with joy so keen.

SHOOYEE DAY.

A New York dispatch of April 4th
says: Notwithstanding the rain and
the heavy road at least 500 dead Chi
namen were made happy to-day at the
various New York cemeteries. 1t was
"Shoyee Day." or decoration day,
among the Chinese in America. On
this day the dead Cinnamon have a
big demonstration at their respective
residences and at the graves, whittier
their friends and relatives are expect
ed to bring them their annual provis-
ions. These consist not only of choice
roasted pigs, chickens and other deli
cacies Of the American and Chinese
markets, but even wives and servants.
These last are an imperative tribute,
although in life the deceased nay
have been bachelors, and not rich
enough to hit the pipe but once o year.
They are supposed to have left the
misfortune Of poverty and all :others
behind them in the body, while their
spirits enjoy. the life Of nabobs. But
these enjoyments must be started to
them from, this side Of the mysterious
river. Tie paper blouses and money
that the devotees burned to-day at the
graves are turned into silken garments
and the yellow strips of paper into
pure gold bars to-day in the other

were set before. the graves. and then

coNb'lrfoN ST The FARMER.
farm Impler,ent News.

-, I,
The Farm tmp!enle,,t Meas is not a
political paper. It does not favor any
party, nor does it ndorse the theories
Of protection or of free trade, but it
goes for what will best serve its pa
irons. Its main purpose is to advance
the interests of the manufactures and
seller of agricultural machinery, and
because. their success depends upon
the prosperity Of the farmer it watch,
es his condition also with much anxi-
ety. 1t has Observed that, while for a
number of Years bast this country has
been fast growing rich, and the indiz
viduals in business and in the various
trades and professions havs been reg
ularly gaining in wealth end impor-.
tance, the individuals engaged in farm
ing have been just as steadily losing
ground. The average farmer. is, Il
much poorer man to-day than he was
ten years ago, or five years ago. In.
stead of making money, in the more
favored sections he can barely. make
ends meet, and in the less, favored sec,
tons he suffers many privations and
vet falls behind. His condition has
been that he could only. get a fair
price for his produce when his crops
had failed and he had little or nothing
to sell; when he lad good crops he
could not sell, tlsm for much if any
more than the cost of their raising;
and the prospects promise him nothing
better in the future. These are facts,
and NO denials or sophistical explana-,
tons can change them. Now, this is
an agricultural country, and our COM
mercial system rests upon agriculture,
for its foundations. Can the structure
remain safe and sound when the foun-,
dations are weak and crumbling? Can
manufacturers and sellers of imple-
ments look for the continuance of
healthy and profitable trade where the
farmers are not able to buy, and can--
not pay if they do? And that is their
exact condition in large proportion
of this Western country. Even. rich
old Connecticut, where every farmer.
has market at his door, he is msol-
vent, according TO official figures.
How, then, is the farmer of Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, or in any ,of the
remote parts cf. the West? Manpfac-;
turers and sellers of implements should
earnestly consider the. situation, and.
until something changes it, should act
very oonseryativelyt The farmers are
getting it into their heads that the
protective tariff protects Others. not
them, and their action will astonish
the politicians unless some favor ID
shown them.

TRUSTS MUST GO.
Commercial Gazette,

The Importance Of Senator Edmund's
favorable report pom Senator Sher
mans antitrust bill can not be over
estimated. This is great triumph
for Mr.. Sherman. The report is equi-
yaIent to the passage of tie bill I.
There can be no doubt of its favorable
reception by the House of Represer-
tatives. 1t will add another to the
long list Of important National meas
ures with which the Ohio Senator has
connected his name. The report Of the
committee on the Judiciary secures
for the bill the support of the lawyers
of the. Senate.
The evil of trusts has been one Of
rapid growth. 1t has spread over the
land like pestilence. Its power is
that of unbounded and unscrupulous
wealth. 1t seeks to monopolize every
form of trade and manufacture, and
to control everything that is necessary
to the comfort or which mi inisters to
the luxury Of mar. Its hardis is raised
against all classes of society for gain.
It, methods are those of the highway
men, though hitherto they had been
within the law. The bill of Mr.. Sher-
man, as endorsed by the highest legal
authorities of the Senate, puts them
without the pale of law, and strikes
directly and with severe, penalties at
all mbfnations and conspiracies in
restriction, of trade between the States
or with foreign countries, and forms
Of monopolizing the trade in any spe-:
1ies Of produce and merchandise be-
tween the States or III the Territories,
| 1t will be interesting to watch the
operations of the new law. The pub
lie will await its enactment with i'm
patience. There will be universal
desire to have its provisions promptly
tested. The opportunities for test
will be unlimited. Without doubt
every form of combination at which
the bill is aimed will at once be fore
ed into court. 1t will, therefore, be
decided by the Supreme Court as
rapidly as the wheels of our judicial
system can move whether trusts can
legally conspire to bleed every form
of industry and Of commerce, and to
lay tax on every mouthful that the
people eat, every shred of clothing
which they wear, and every luxury
which they seek to enjoy.
There are interesting times in the
near future.
