How to Prosper.

Know your business thoroughly. Do
it faithfully. Avoid disputes and strifes.
Keep your own secrets. Mind your
own and let others mind theirs. Be
curteous to all. Confde in few. Do
right at all hazards. Think more of
what man is than he has. Never try
to GUST Gods providence. Do not
waste strength in tretting at unavoid-
able evils. When you are annoyed do
not make a fuss about it. Keep a
cheerful feart and calm countenance.
be temperate in all things. Give
what God requires, and do not
be coaxed to do more because
others are doing SO. Listen to ad-
vlsers, but let God be your first coun-
selor. Do not be hurried, Do not
allow others to hurry you. Take time
to think. Guard against people who
always justify your course. Seek honest
judgment rather than hattering SYM
pathy. Never fear to own a fault.
Do right by Others whether they will
do right by you or not. Keep the
Lord before your face, and death,
Judgment and immortal glory all in
full view. Watch and pray, lest We
enter INTO temptation. Make this but
the beginning of a life that shall be
endless as eternity, and glorious as the
stars IN Heaven.-Wilson Ai,yor.

Potatoes and Onions.

With many crops, says The New York
World, rotation seems beneficial, indie
pendent of yearly manuring, to keep up
the fertility of the soil. With some,
however, it does not appear to be neces-
sary. Potatoes and onions, especially
the latter, do we'll on the same soil for
years, provided they are properly fertil-
lied AS both are pre-eminently hoed
crops, the kind of cultivation they re-
ceive to make them profitable keeps the
soil in the best possible condition for
their growth. For the onion crop the
ground should be exceedingly mellow
and rich. Barn yard and hog pen ma
ntre are both excellent for this crop,
provided they are well decomposed and
thoroughly mixed with the soil. No
crop will pay better for an uncommonly
good preparation of the soil than this.
A yearly top dressing of ashes applied
to the onion beds and raked in before
the planting is highly recommended.
For the potato the ground should be
deeply plowed and we'll narrowed to pull
verize it. The burrows for the seed bad
should be deep and wide, to give the
tubers room to form without obstruc-
ton from the firmer soil of their sides.
For this crop the standard commercial
fertilizers have given the best returns,
and are now more commonly used than
for any other They may be sown broad
cast or more directly applied. For their
most economical use they may either be
mixed with the loose soil in the bottom
of the furrow before the seed is dropped,
or be scattered on top of a first shallow
covering, leaving the furrow to be filled
when the shoots begin to appear. 1t is
not quite settled whether above or be-
low the seed is the best.

ADVICE TO THE SONS Or ITALY.
philadelphia Times.l

If the story that comes from Chi
cago is true, as it seems to be, of
man who expressed his approval of the
New Orleans lynching and was imme-
diately set upon and stabbed by three
Italian bandits, it will serve to point the
lesson we have been trying to impress
upon our Italian residents that the way to
get up feeling against their nation
is to insist upon identifying the cut
threats of the Malta with Italy.
1t ought to be clear to every reason
able man that the fact that the New
Orleans assassins were Italians had
not hing to do with the attack upon
them; that peaceful and orderly Ital-
ians have just the same protection
there or elsewhere in America as any
other residents native or foreign and that
Italians have no more concern in this
business than Irish, Germans or Amer
leans. If Italians all over the country
are going 70 make common cause with
the "ex-galley slaves" as Roman
newspaper rightly calls them, who
happen to have come from their
country, and to incite such fellows as
these Chicago bandits to deeds of
vengeance, they can hardly fail to
create an animosity as needless as de-
plorable.
This is the comment that every
reasonable man must make upon the
speeches and resolutions of the Italian
meeting last night and of similar
meetings in other cities. There is no
feeling in this country against Italians
as such, but there is a very strong
feeling against banded assassins of any
nationality, whether they be called
Malta, Mollie McGuires or High
binders, or what not, and honest men
should find better employment than in
demonstrations that may be fairly con-
strued as expressions of sympathy with
class of criminals that no civilized
country ought to tolerate.

DANIEL WEBSTER.

Nn. EDITOR:-This nor any other
country has produced a greater states
man than Daniel Webster. The his

him greater than than Clay, ana I'M
doubtedly he was as statesman ana
iurist. although not as speaker a
distinguished English writer says,
..Our impression is that excepting
Mirabeau. Chatham, Fox and
Brougham. no speaker entirely the
match of Daniel Webster has trod the
world-stage for full two centuries 80
great was his legal knowledge he was
retained by the government a counsei
in all important suits brought against
the country. This was high recognl-
ton of his legal talents. His public
addresses rank among the most brilliant
productions of the country. They are
mastery efforts of great and a COM
prehensive mind. His eulogy ON the
death of Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams (both of whom died the same
dav) was truly most brilliant effort
of a well-stored and powerful intellect.
He was selected on account OF his
grasp of thought and the lllucldatlng
powers of his transcendant mind. 1t
not only threw light on the character
of the illustrious ones whose history he
was tracing, but it showed the great
ness of the distinguished orator that
sang their praises. No effort OF his
life gave him greater fame than MS
reply to Hayne, of South Carolina.
HAYNES vindication Of his native
State and the South, showed great
depth of thought and much eloquence.
1t was great speech. Webster's reply
was so far superior to it the country
seems to have lost sight OF 1t. 1t Is
only remembered as the occasion OF
calling forth the great speech OF his OPP
ponent in yindication ofthe constitution
of his country against the attacks OF
restless agitators that sought to dis
member the Union. 1t gave him
reputation as a debater no statesman
before or since his day has acquired.
| 1t left his opponent whitening under
his rebuke like forest oak struck by
the lightnings of heaven. Statesmen
will read it in coming years and wonder
at the oreatpowers of the great states
man that preceded them. When boy
Daniel Webster was so eager to learn
his father, though limited in means, re-
solved to educate him. To enable him
to do so he had to mortgage his little
farm. 1t is said the first twenty-five
cents he earned he gave to peddler
for handkerchief on which the con-
stitution of his country was printed.
This he read until he committed it to
memory. So familiar was he with it
in after years he was called the ''de-
fender of the constitution" His
father, who was made Judge, offered
him position as clerk of his his court
at salary of 1900 year. He de-
clined it, saying he proposed being
one of the actors, not a register OF
other mems acts. He told Daniel that
the Bar was crowded with able and
older lawyers. "There is room at the
top,'' said he. That showed his de-
| termination to rise to eminence. He
went up until he had no superior, If
any equals, at the Bar OF in the United
States Senate. K. w. IL.

GynSnm for Clover.

The plants that derive profit from gyp-
sum include all known to the agricultur-
list, but some more than others profit by
the fertilizer, says American Cultivator.
Clover stands at the head of the list as
one responding quickly to the applica-
ton, and it will often make all the differ
ence between a good and bad crop of
clover whether the gypsum has been ap-
piled. One hundred pounds of land plas-
ter to the acre, sown broadcast, will pre-
vent clover patch from being burnt up
by dry spell, and 200 pounds spread
over the fields beforehand will give the
clover u splendid start. It may be sown
at seeding time, or when the plants are
up, but the former method seems prefera-
BILE, for it will then enable the plants to
get good catch. Gypsum is thus made
the foundation of a good crop Of clover,
and if the young crop is threatened by
drought gypsum can come in as q
topdressing. Even during very severe
droughts land plaster will avert direful
calamity in tho clover field if applied
early enough, says the authority quoted.

Our Immigrants Not to Blame.

The theory that the immigration of a
few million of foreigners within thirty
years is the true cause of the municipal
evils in the United States must he rejected,
although the too quick admission to the
suffrage of men who have had no acquaint-
ance with free institutions has doubtless
increased the evils of city government in a
few localities. The great majority of the
immigrants have been serviceable people,
and of late years many Of them have had
a better education than the average rural
American can obtain. The experienced
voters of the country cannot shelter them
