I'll was born on d farm, but
Inever took any hayseeds with
me into politics." says George
Rhodes.
We had hoped to tell in
these columns this week what
an important part the hog will
play in the next election, but
the Doctor couldn't get all the
points together, in time.
In his sermon last Sunday in
New York, Rev. Tom Dixon was
quite severe on Brooklyn and its
churches. He evidently believes
that "the City of Churches" as APP
piled to Brooklyn is a misnomer.
"Where is the Church of God in
Brooklyn" he asks, and then
supplies the answer that ''its
existence in Brooklyn is ignored
Its influence not felt"
Bring on your wood, potatoes,
butter, eggs and chickens. We
will take 'em on subscription and
pay you the market price. We
will never be crowded with such
things. If four counties should
turn lose on us at the same time,
there would be room enough for
one more. Gentlemen, it is no use
10 dwell longer on this question,
we have got square hole to fill,
and it must be filled with some
thing besides wind. We have been
eating cow-peas and pulling at
out shoe-straps until our muscles
are about gone.
Learn TO work. The RE-
coRDER wants TO impress this up
on the minds Of the young; the
necessity Of the times demands
thorough workmen, and work
women. They are needed in the
pulpit, the courtroom, the office,
the count.ng-:oom, the workshop,
the "a, tories, the kitchen, and
sick rooms-eyerywhere comes up
the cry for greater excellence in
all the br II hes Of life. We earn
estly beg our young friends to
learn u work and to work well,
sor we bitterly feel its need. Let
each Of our young readers ask
himself and herself the question,
"What shall ! learn which will
prove Of the most advantage to
me in years TO come ?"
AN old friend told us about
three weeks ago that he had a
strong notion TO move TO the city
said he had several grown boys,
and could make nothing on the
f4Em. We told the old coon that
il would be a bad move, that
there were already idle people in
the city who should leave to till
the fields, but they don't seem to
look for employment in the coun-
try where they are often wanted,
and where they could make a liv.
ing if they would work for it. Ey-
ely now and then we hear the
cry Tor farm hands, and they can.

the people Of the fields are coming
here to try their luck, They de.
sire TO live in the city, a CON-
mendable desire If they have the
means Of living, but not otherwise
under existing circumstances. The
farm hand who can earn his daily
victuals in the fields had better
stay there until he is sure that he
can earn them in the city. As
