Old Mans ADVANTAGES.

A man past so can do with less sleep
than younger men. He can endure
greater, steady and prolonged strain.
He can bear his burden, day after day,
with less need of recreation. 1heyoung
man can Sprint" but he cannot "stay"
like man with brain grown iron and
nerves steel by many years of training.
Elderly men are less temptable. They
are of fixed moral habit. Appetite and
passion are under control. For better
or for worse they are a calculable guam
tity, with slight variations to be taken
into the account. Elderly men are more
loyal as friends, if they are friends.
Their attachment to a cause or a com
mercial house is less changeable. They
have, moreover, given bonds for good
behavior in the persons OF grown fam
lilies, whose respect is to them dearer
than life. They know the difficulty of
repairing mistakes. Elderly men act
ually have experience. The older man
best reads character. He is the wisest
to select Observation-Disclosures Times.

The Southern Farm Magazine.

In this day of So much talk about edu-
cation, which seems to turn upon plans
for sending to school, it may be we'll to
pause now and then to consider the Ca
ieers of men who have been really edu-
cated-tllat is, fitted for useful lives.
Many of these have had to deal with
facts, and not with books. They have
been their own teachers, and practical
experience has been their school. One of
them is described by Col. j. B. Killebrew
in the May number of the Southern
Farm Magazine. His case is typical.
Without means for ordinary schooling,
he was obliged TO get right down to work
to save himself from starvation. He
was not satisfied, however, merely to
make a living, and lost no chance to
fit himself for better things. While
using his hands he kept his brain at
work, and when tho chances came he
was ready for them. Consequently, he
by Colonel Killebrew with the careers
astic opportunities alone, form the basis
of a most interesting and timely article.
Other features of the May issue are
discussions of the sharp contest for set
tiers between the Northwest and the
South, the benefit of aRpod roads, the
bane of politics. diseased of swine, the
plan of the summer sclodR of the South,
the market for horses, opA2rtunities for
silk culture ii the South alNA pther topics
of interest to the poulterer, Rhe market
gardener, growers of specia crops and
engaged in general agriculture.

A bill has been introduced in Con
gress by Mr.. Rixey, of Virginia, to open
the doors of the soldiers homes sup
ported by the national government to
Confederates and Federals alike. The
bill is meeting with the approval of
many Republicans OF the North and with
the disapproval of some Southern
Democrats. The opposition of the latter
may kill the bill, but it ought not to be
done. The country has been reunited
and the South pays its share in support
of the government. The Southern
States do not care for their old veterans
as they should. This is a lamentable
fact, bat fact it is, and the old fellows
ought to be provided for in some way.
In the civil war they fought not only for
the protection of their homes and coun-
try, but for a great American principle
as well-the right OF self government.
They are as much Americans rs the Fed
erals; they are us loyal to the government
as their former foes, and they have as
much right now to the care and protec-
ton of the government as those who
wore the blue.
