The Future Of Agriculture.

In an address on the Future Of Ag-
riculture," which was delivered by DR..
Collier, director of the New York
Agricultural Experiment Station, he
prophesied that within five years this
country will enter upon prosperous
agricultural career which will be uu-
precedented in history. Our most
available public lands are all taken up
and the rapid extension Of agriculture
over more area must stop. 1t is al
ready checked aud is near its limit. In
the future we must turn our attention
to increase of production by improved
methods and better culture, and this
calls for better educated brain and the
best and most comprehensive and YER
sa,iic interlcct. Meantime the popula-
ton is rapidly increasing and has al
ready nearly come up abreast with
production, since we -Nport no more
than we import and the most Of our
imports are What can and ought To- be
produced at home. Farmers and manu-
facturcrs should therefore turn their
attention to the plohuc:i"n nf these
imported cessarIcs. thereby ,ii~titl1
our pro luction 10 the con>uuptivc de-
maud, instead If depending on The
protection Of an excess OF few aili
clc> la exchange for supply Of nur
lacking accessories in Others. The
work Of balancing our production and
of increasing our Yield per acre 10 meet
the rapidly increasing demands Of our
growing population, is opening up an
inviting and rcmuncrative fell for
agriculture which must secure its pros
pcrity and give il an acknowledged
position ut The head which has never
yet been fully and ntclligcutlv accord
ed. Tie national government has al
ready taken the initiatorv steps for ex-
tending the blessings OF a more practi-
cal and higher education to The sons
and daughters of the agricultural
classes. II is LAYING the foundation
for a work of generations. but we Shall
soon begin to euter upon our new ac-
riculturai career aud to witness tie
dawning Of a brighter and better era.

A Story of Mother Biokerdyke.

Among the hundreds OF women y o
devoted part or the whole OF the
Yeas Of the war TO the care of the sick
and wounded Of the army. Mother
BIckcrdy Ike stands pre- eminent Others
were as heroic and consccratrd as She.
as unwearled in labors. and as unset
fish and selt-sacriiiciug. But she was
unique in method, extraordinary in
executive ability, enthusiastic in deyo-
ton, and indomtable in will.
After She became an agent of the
Sanitary Commission, we endeavored
TO keep her supplied with what she
needed. But emergencies were con
stantly arising which she could not fore
see. and for which the Commission
codld not provide, which would throw
her on her own resources and these
never failed her.
Among the articles sent her at one
time were two very elegant long night
dresses. embroidered, and trimmed
with rufiles and lace They were the
gift Of very dear friends and she had
some scrupIes about bartering them
away as she did other garments. Re
turning with the ''pluuder" she had re-
celved in exchange for her superfuous
clothing, she crossed railroad ira k. .
on which stood train of box cars.
Stopping the ambulance. she began to
explore them, according to her usual
custom. Inside of one we've two wound
ed soldiers going home on furlough.
Their unhealed wounds were uudressed,
and full Of vermn; they were weak
for lack of food. were depressed and
discouraged, and in all respects were
in very sorry plight.
,Humph - said Mother Bickerdyke :;
NOW | see what them furbelowed
night gowns were sent down here for
The Lord meant | should put 'em to a
good use, after ALL.
The wounds Of the poor fellows were
washed and cleansed. Tearing off ban
dages from the bottom Of the night
dresses. she properly dressed and ban
daged them. Socks, and drawers, aud
handkerchiets were found in the ambu-
lance but she was entirely destitute Of
shirts. A happy thought came 20 her.
Here, boys" she said; put on the
upper half Of these night-gowns !;
they're just the thing. My sakes but
this is lucky
But to this the men decidedly object
ed. They would wear the dirty, tat
.ered shirts, that had not been changed
in two months, rather than 90 home in
a woman's night-gow
"Oh, pshaw. boys. don't be fools !"
persisted practical Mother Bickerdyke.
might go,ons or night shirts, WHAT'S
the odds? These will be softer to your
wounds; and Heaven knows they're
enough sight cleaner. Put 'em on and
wear 'em home. If anybody says any
thing, tell them you've jerked 'em from
the Secesb, and the folks will think a
heap sight more of you for it."
The men were persuaded, aud got
into the nondescript garments. In
passing through Chicago, they halted
for brief rest at the Soldiers Home,
where, when their wounds we're dress
ed, their outre shirts were discovered,
marked in indelible ink with Mrs.
Bickerdyke's name. We offered to ex-
change them for genuine hospital shirts;
but the men had had such sport al
ready, they chung to the abbreviated

Maine. Copied from an old scrap
book by q. p. Carter.


Farewell, dear brother. we were wont to part
Upon the square. and that with joyful heart,
But now We do behold thy spirit fled.
And we thy body place among the dead.
We from the lodge-room now must march
away,
For to deposit in the earth that clay
Tha, once gave counsel, knowledge TO increase.
And good instruction, coming from the east.
We to the earth your body must consign;
But while SO doing, may we bear in mind
The light and comfort we did once enjoy.
By YOUR command without the least alloy.
MAY we your counsel ever keep IN mind,
And show TO all that we are just and kind;
Assist the widow, and the orphan child,
And give them part OF what we gain by toll.
May every member by industry strive
To initiate the bees within their hive,
Although they Danish from their hive the
drone,
The, lay up treasures for themselves at home.
When we upou the anchor cast our ewes.
That emblem teaches for to be wise;
For Hope, the anchor of the faithful soul.
Will ride safe beyond the earthly pole.
The Bible gives us our Grand Masters will
which be eNact> of u for to fulfill.
The same from others from them expect
And His commands we ne, er should neglec
We from the hour.eass learn how short is
time.
May We by that still constant bear in mind
A. runs The sand 20 spends our precious DAYS,
And desth will shortly take our life away.
The Sc, The Of death will cut the brittle thread
And we be numbered with the silent dead:
But may our souls meet in that lodge above
Where all is JOY, and harmony. aud love.
As in the grave All level soon must be.
And from all labor there we shall be free.
Alho' confined within >csni, place
The evergreen betokens future Hiss.
We hope one day by our Grand Masters word
To burst the grave and be 10 life restored;
As evergreen the " inter does survive.
SO in the resurrection we shall all arise.
oh, may our Master WHEN wc there shall live.
All our omissions through this life forgive;
Give the Grand Tyler thus the passing word
And we escape the aI-correcing sword.
Join the grand concert OF he lodge above.
Where MI is harmony and peace and love.
To sing The praises of That love di,inc
That from the east did 50 Respondent shine.

SENATOR VANCE.
He is Endorsed and His Return to the
Senate Urged by Alliance Men.

Here is specimen of the many
resolutions adopted by Sub-Alliances
throughout the State, endorsing SEN
ator Vance. Thunder Swamp AL
lance, No. 444, of Greene county,
d. E. Stevens, President, and l.. w.
Parker, Secretary, at a recent meet
ing, unanimously passed the following
preamble and resolution
WHEREAS, That in Zeb. B. Vance
our people have always found true
and faithful servant, one who we be-
lieve hath always stood up honestly
for his people, either in war or in
peace and further we do not think
that he can be bribed or influenced by
gain; and while it is human to err, we
may consider ourselves entitled to a
just criticism, but an unjust and I'M
wise counsel will but weaken our own
ranks and raise enemies from the out
side, who are to-day faithful allies to
our principles, for these reasons be it
Resol0ed, That in our Senator
Vance our people have always had a
faithful leader, a wise counselor, and
a man whom we believe would rather
die for his people, than see any par,
Of them enslaved by monopolies, Ma
tional banks or any other ~class Of
combines; and we further resolve
that We will stand by Z. B. Vance and
ask our next Legislature to again cleo
him U. S. Senator, provided we SET
no further failure to duty.
