The farmer raises food for other
people, but Oftentimes does not cater
wisely for himself. There is much
Just reflection upon farm life in that
old miserly maxim first uttered as a
sarcasm: "Sell what you can; what
YOU can not sell, eat; what you can
not eat, give to the pigs" We do not
believe thrift lies in this directicn.-
The producers of food are entitled to
the best their farms affCr I'D, and in the
long run this is economy. One secret
of the strong drift Of our farming pop
ulatiOn toward the city, lies in the
farmers table. Children crave a
variety of good wholesome food, and
enough of it, and any stint of it is GER
tain to be remembered when they
come to shift for themselves. The
citizen always has a variety of food
within his reach, and nothing but
poverty prevents him from enjoying
all that the farm sends to market. He
has all the fruits and vegetables in
their season, and in the best condition
in which he can get them. He has
fish and flesh in great variety, and his
appetite is never clOyed. But upon
the farm, where the best of everything
is produced, salted meats are too often
the staple provisions the year round,
and corn meal cooked in some form is
perpetual feast. Now, there is no
reason in the world why the farmer
should not be the best fed man in the
community. He ought to be, as an
advertisement of his business. a
tailor of all men, can not afford to
dress shabbily. Coarse, ill-fitting
boots are bad card for a shoemaker.
The producers of food should show us
how to cook and enjoy it. Many far
mers we know do give US this adver-
tisement of their business. Their
guests sometimes forget to come away
when their visits are finished. But


this is less evil than a hospitality


which one is ashamed to offer, and


which no one accepts a second time
The physical man should be kept in


the best condition by a varied and
generous diet, and the glory of the
farm be made to eliminate in the fine
specimens of men and women it pro-

If, now, the President fails to be con-

Young Man.


Some years ago g son Of one Of our
wealthiest and most respected citizens one
day very suddenly left his home and every
comfort that wealth and the most indni gent
and affectionate parents could procure,
and disappeared with a travelling circus
troupe The young man was then nearly
twenty lone years of age, and seemed to be
prompted to this strange freak by pure
dislike of control and a desire to see the
world. Years passed away and no tidings
were heard of the wanderer. and the
parents, now approaching old age, had
begun to give up all hope of ever receiving
or hearing from him again. About a year
ago, citizen of Chicago being in Sa-
vannah, Ga, chanced to meet the truant
upon the street and accosted him by name.
The young man, however, denied his
identity, but the gentleman told him that
it was needless to try to deceive him, as he
knew him too we'll; and finally the wan
derer acknowledged his name. He soon
slipped away, however, and was again lost
sight of. The other day Bailey's Circus
Company pitched their tent here, and among
the performers was the long lost son, who
presently sought his fathers house in
company with his wife, very worthy
young lady who had been connected with
the establishment, and whom he had mar
ried some time ago. They we're welcomed
and made at once at home, and the young
man has settled quietly and sensibly down
after his wanderings, and will cheer the
declining years of his aged parents.

The London Tlmes-NothIng to Justify the


of the Case. &c.


The great state trial of the New World
is rapidly approaching it's close, and any
hour may now bring US intelligence of the
Judgment pronounced upon Andrew John
son by the American Senate. tbs strange
end of mighty confict-a singular exam
pie of political bathos. The most gigantic,
costly and sangulnary struggle ever known
has dwindled into prosecution, of which
we, in this country, can only think that it
need never have been instituted at ALL
Whether the President of the Republic did
or did not commit the offences imputed to
him is question which it really seems
hardly necessary to entertain, SO plain does
the conclusion appear, according to Eng


lish opinions, that these offences were not
such as should have put him upon his trial.


The whole charge against President
Johnson amounts to little more than
this-that he placed himself in opposi-
ton to Congress. The Executive and
the Legislatuse have been for some time
at variance, but that is misfortune which
might occur at any time. The COnstltu-
ton gave powers to Congress and powers
to the President. and it was always posi-
BILE that these authorities might differ in
opinion. No QuuD5 such an antagonism
might be carried by President to such q
point and be supported by such measures
as would justify an impeachment, but it
seems impossible to regard in such light
as this any Of the proceedings ascribed to
Mr.. Johnson. That he did not sympathize
with the views Of Congress is, of course,
notorious, but in America opinions are
Io
respect of Congress may be admitted, but
in America speech is very free, indeed
We know of nothing said by the President
on this subject which might not have been
said of Parliament OR Ministers here with
out creating more than passing remark,
and certainly members of Congress have
spoken as hardly of Andrew Johnson as
ever he spoke of them. There was po-
litical feud between the parties, and party
feeling ran high but as things go in Amer
lea, and, indeed, in all free countries, it
seems out of all measure to make angry
words the ground of solemn impeach
ment.


The legal aspect Of the case may be a
fair question for American lawyers to de-
termlne, but even on this point there ap
pears, at any rate, as much to be said for
the President as should have saved him
from this prosecution. A law was passed
by Congress, ayowedlv in prejudice to Mr..
Johnsons authority, to the effect that it
should not be competent for the President
to remove from Office certain Ministers of
State. This law was designed expressly to
bride Mr.. johnson and prevent him from
any member of the Cabinet
whose sympathies might be rather with
Congress than with the President. Mr..
Stanton, Minister of War, had been ap-
pointed to his place by Mr.. Lincoln, and
President Lincoln could at any time have
removed him. Congress desired that Pre- |
sident Johnson should not possess this |
power over one of it's own allies, and there
