The American Ploughman.
DR. ROLIIRS
Clear the brown path to meet the coulter's gleam !
Lo ! on he comes behind his smoking team,
With toil's bright dew-drops on his sun-burnt brow,
The Lord of earth, the hero of the plough !
First in the field before the reddening sun,
Last in the shadows when the day is dune,
Line after line along the burning sod
Marks the broad acres where his — feet have trod ;
Still where he treads the stubborn clods divide,
The smooth, fresh farrow opens deep and wide ;
Matted and dense the tangled turf upheaved,
Mellow and dark the ridgy cornfield cleaves;
lip the steep hill-side where the laboring train
Slants the long track that scores the level plain;
Through the moist valley clogged with oozing clay,
The patient convoy breaks its destined way ;
At every turn the loosening chains resound,
The swinging ploughshare circles glistening round,
Till the wild field one billowy waste appears,
And wearied hands unbind the panting steers.
These are the hands whose sturdy labor brings
The peasant's food, the golden pomp of kings;
This is the page whose letters shall be seen;
Changed by the sun to words of living green;
This is the scholar whose immortal pen;
Spells the first lesson hunger taught to men ;
These are the lines, 0 Heaven-commanded toil,
That fill thy deed—the charter of the soil!
0 gracious Mother, whose benignant breast
Wakes us to life and lulls us all to rest,
How sweet thy features, kind to every
Mock with their smile the wrinkled front of time!
We stain thy flowers—thy blossoms o'er the dead;
We rend thy bosom, and it gives us bread ;
O'er the red field that trampling strife has torn,
Waves the green plumage of the tasseled corn ;
Our maddening conflicts soar thy fairest plain,
Still thy soft answer is the growing grain.
Yet, 0 ! our mother, while uncounted charms
Round the fresh clasp of thine embracing arms,
Let not our virtue! in thy love decay,
And thy fond weakness waste our strength away.
No! by these bills, whose banners, now displayed,
In blasitgoohorts Autumn has arrayed ;
By you twin crest, amid the sinking sphere,
Last to dissolve, and first to reappear ;
By these fair plains the mountain circlo screens,
And feeds in silence from its dark ravines;
True to their home, these faithfnl arms shall toil
To crown with peace their own untainted soil;
And true to God, to Freedom, to Mankind,
If her chained bandogs Faction shall unbind,
These stately forms, that bending even now,
Bowed their strong manhood to the humbleplough,
Shall rise erect, the guardians of the land,
The same stern iron in the same right hand,
Till Greylock thunders to the parting sun
The sword has rescued what the ploughshare won ?
Roses in Winter.
How TO HAVE THEM BLOOMING IN
HOUSES.
The ever-blooming roses are best for
house culture in pots—because they bloom
quicker and more continuously than any of
the others, and,besides this,their style and
habit of growth is more bushy and better
adapted to the purpose. They can be
kept nicely with other growing plants, and
with proper attention to their require.
ments will bloom freely. (1) Do not use
too large pots—if possible, not more than
three or four inches. The rule is, one
size larger than the plants have been
grown in. The smaller the pot--provided,
of course, it is large enough to contain the
plant—the quicker and stronger the plant
will start. It is very difficult to get a
small plant to live and grow in a large pot
A rose will not bloom much till the pot is
well filled with roots ; therefore, small pots
facilitate quick bloom. If the pots be old
they should first be thoroughly washed.
If new, they should be soaked in water,
otherwise they will absorb the moisture
from the plant. (2) Have good rich soil
—mellow and friable. That made from
old decomposed sods is the best. If
manure is used, it should be old and
thoroughly composted ; fresh manure is
injurious. (3) Put some bits of broken
crockery, charcoal or similar material in
the bottom of each pot to facilitate drain
age, then enough fine earth to raise the
plant to a proper height. It should not
be much deeper than it was before. Next
put in the plant and spread out its roots
as near their natural position as possible ;
then fill in the earth and press firmly
down with the hand. When done, the
pot should not be quite full ; a little space
is needed for water. (4) When first
potted water thoroughly, and, if the sun
is strong, shade for a few days, then give
full light and air. Though the plant
should not be allowed to wither for want
of water, the earth should get moderately
dry before watering again. Too much
water is worse than not enough. Very
little water is needed until the plant starts
to grow.
Cooking Potatoes,
To moat of us the food we eat is valua
ble because we like it, and not so much
because we consider ourselves a machine
on which profit and loss is nicely calculated
in regard to what we eat. But as perhaps
some of our readers are chemically or
financially disposed, and have a desire to
know to a penny what their bodies cost
and to a grain the material of which it is
made, we give the following about cooking
potatoes, from an English agricultural
magazine :
As food, the potato is valuable on se
oount of the potash and phosphoric acid it
contains, and it is of the first importance
that the potash salts should not be lost in
the process of cooking, for it is to these
salts potatoes owe their antiscorbutia
properties. Petatots steamed with their
skins on lose very little potash and scarcely
any phosphoric acid ; while if steamed
after peeling, they lose seven and five per
cent. respectively. Similarly, potatoes
when boiled with their skins on lose a
little more than two per cent. of their
phosphoric acid ; but if they are boiled
after peeling, they lose as much . as 33 per
cent. of potash and 23 per cent. of phos
phoric acid. Hence, if potatoes must be
peeled, they should be steamed, not boiled ;
and if they must be boiled they should at
least retain their jackets during the opera
tion ; the best way of all, from a scientific
point of view, being to steam them before
peeling, or to bake them in their skins.
HOT ROLLS.-A nice breakfast arrange
ment where there are no dyspeptics in the
family, is to take a quart of sifted flour,
one and a half cupfuls of sour milk, two
teaspoonfuls of thick cream, a teaspoonful
of sada; stir up quickly and dip into roll
bakers, well buttered, or cup cake tin s ,
and bake in a quick oven. They are very
palatable and easily made.
To BOIL A Hem.—Let it boil slowly
for the whole of an afternoon and then let
it remain in its liquor over night. Hams
thus boiled are far more tender, juicy and
sweeter than when boiled a shorter time
and at once removed from the water.
Tuz weather has been very favorable
for fall labor, and most of our farmers are
well on with their work.
(Continued from first page )
claiming to have seceded from the Union. The
rebellion had already begun, and it continued for
four years ; and the emergencies of the war were
suck that hundreds of millions of dollars had to
be borrowed. And yet during all this time the
credit of the Government was sustained, so that
seven and three-tenths per cent. interest was the
highest rate ever paid, and this for only small
atuonnts; whilst nearly all the vast millions for
the war were procured at six per cent. Since the
war nearly a thousand millions of the war debt
have been paid off; and we are now refunding the
residue in four per cent. bonds at the rate of twenty
live millions ($25,000,000) per month, after having
reduced the high taxes of the war from $488,273,-
465 in 1865, $240,752,304 in 1878. This is history,
and very recent history, too; and yet in the face
of it the Democratic party has the folly and bra
zen impudence to challenge comparisons, and to
denounce the Republican party for financial in
competency and dishonesty.
The last Presidential. election was run as a "re
form" campaign. hosts of hungry delegates from
the South attended the National Democratic Con
vention ; and Tilden's friends boasted they took
with them from New York "a barrel of money."
When the hungry delegates and the barrel of
money came together the nomination was soon
consummated; and "Tilden and Reform" became
the rallying cry from that day forth. Under this
battle-cry they ruthlessly trampled under foot the
most sacred constitutional rights of the citizen,
and resolved and labored to carry South Carolina
with rifle clubs, Mississippi and Louisiana with
intimidation and violence, and Ohio and New
York with all the mercernary machinery and ap
pliances known to unprincipled political despera
does and ballot-box etuffers. When after all this
they found themselves defeated, on a telegraphic
arrangement with Tilden's nephew and private
secretary they deposited eighty thousand dollars
in bank, to suborn and purchase a Republican
elector of Oregon, known to have been lawfully
ehDeen on the Republican ticket by over a thous
and majority. Failing in all these virtuous efforts,
they threatened another war of rebellion, and to
send one hundred thousand men to Washington
to inaugurate Tilden, whether returned elected or
not. Unable to frighten any one by this silly
threat, they magnanimously agreed to submit the
question at issue to an Electoral Commission, sug
gested by themselves, and created for the purpose.
But no sooner was the decision rendered against
them, than they denounced it as a fraud, and pro
claimed their unwillingness to abide by it ; and
on the familiar principle of the thief crying stop
thief, they have kept poor Tilden running for the
Presidency ever since, on the pretext that he has
been defrauded. Out of the purest spirit of"econ
omy and retrenchment," they have appointed
Congressional committees to investigate the mat
ter, and appropriated forty thousand dollars of
the people's money to pay the expenses; but took
the wise precaution to limit the examination to
only one side of the case. The committee has been
at work for months, with due diligence, and by
the aid of confessed perjurers and lunatics they
have succeeded in proving—substantially noth
ing—with a brilliant prospect of continued suc
cess. The House committee is organized on the
principle of "how not to do it," and takes good
care not to summon Marble, or Pelton, or any
other witness who knows too much; and the New
York Tribune, by the discovery, publications and
translations of the Democratic cypher telegrams,
has done a thousand fold more to enlighten the
public on this "Tilden and Reform" campaign,
than the Pottcr-Butler committee has dune, or
ever will do.
I have been so long out of the muster roil that
for several years past I have taken little, or no
part in political campaigns, prefering to leave
their labors and anxieties to younger men; and
supposing after the end of the war and reconstruc
tion, the Government might almost run itself. But
the ceaseless and aggressive activity of our ad
versaries reminds us of the everlasting conflict be
tween right and wrong, and that "eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty ;" and requires of us all per
petual efforts to save and defend the honor of our
country from the assaults of those who so recently
endeavored to destroy its life. Thanking you for
your respectful bearing, and entreating you all to
do your duty, I bid you good night.
Fat Man Made Happy.—Loses 61 lbs.
PRATTVILLE, Ala., July 201 h, 1878.
BOTANIC MEDICINE Co., Buffalo, N. V.:
Gentlemen—About three months ago I
commenced using your "Anti-Fat," at which
time my weight was 219 pounds. By follow
ing your directions carefully. I have succeeded
in reducing my weight to 158 pounds. This
is all very satisfactory and pleasant but just
previous to my commencing the use of your
medicine, I had purchased two suits of fine
clothes at a high price, and find, to my dismay,
that they are entirely useless to me now.
When I put one of my coats on, my friends
tell me it looks likes a coffee sack on a bean
pole, and when I put the pants on,—well,
description fails. My object in writing is to
ascertain whether you have not, in connection
with your medicine business, au establishment
where your patrons, similarly situated, could
exchange these useless garments for others
that would fit. I think you ought to have
something of the kind, as it would be an
inducement for many to use the Anti-Fat, who
now object to using it, in consequence of the
loss they would sustain in throwing aside
valuable garments. Just turn this matter
over in your mind. A "Clothing Exchange"
is what you want in connection with your
Anti-Fat business. Yours truly,
What They Will Do.
The Democratic party, if successful at
the next election, will be under bonds to
administer the government in the most
frugal manner that efficiency will permit.
—Chairman Speer in Clinton, Democrat.
The Democratic party is a party of prom
ises. If its word is to be believed, it is
one of of the most honest, upright, truth
ful, economical combinations of mankind
the world ever produced. They promise
everything that is fair and honorable, but
experience has taught us that they are not
to be relied upon, ! ;. Should they be sucl
cessful in obtaining control of the Nationa -
Dovernment this is what we may expect :
I. The tariff will be repealed, millions
of manufacturing capital destroyed, and
the greatest part of the factory labors
turned out of employment.
11. Two hundred million dollars of rebel
claims will be paid.
111. Claims for emancipated slaves, to
an indefinite amount, will be presented and
allowed.
IV. To propitiate the Greenback party
the national banks will be destroyed.
V. An unlimited amount of irredeema
ble paper money will be issued, and a new
era of inflation instituted, to end in gener
al bankruptcy.
VI. The demoralized condition of the
Democratic party in Tennessee and other
States, where it openly avows repudiation,
shows that it cannot be relied on to sustain
the credit and honor.of the nation.
VII. Commerce will suffer as much as
manufacturers from Democratic ascen
dancy. It is hostile to the government
encouragement of steam lines, even to fair
rates for carrying mails. It will do noth
ing to promote the .extension of our trade
with foreign countries.
VIII. The Democratic party of the
present day has no sympathy with Ameri
can progress. It is a contracted, ignoble
organization, bent only on its own aggrau
dizement.
IX. Since the dissolution of the genuine
Democratic party, on the death of General
Jackson, the bastard organization that now
bears its name has affiliated with every
combination for the attainment of power.
It abetted treason against the Union, and
it did all in its power to thwart the efforts
of the administration of Lincoln for the
preservation of the unity of the Republic,
X. Every soldier interest of the coup.
try requires that this destructive, untrust
worthy party should be kept out of power
and of the means of further harming the
welfare of the masses and of all who have
an interest in peace, stable legislation, and
a genial policy on the part of the National
Government.—Es.
EVERY Republican voter should work
from now until the election as if the result
depended upon his individual efforts. If
this is done Huntingdon county will roll
up a majority of one thousand.

CHEAP
KANSAS LANDS ! !
We own and control the Railway lands of TREGO CO.,
KANSAS, about equally divided by the Kansas Pacific R.
it., which we are selling at an average of $3.25 per acre
on easy terms of payment. Alternate sections of Govern
ment lands can be taken as homesteads by actual settlers.
These lands lie in the Great Limestone Belt of Central
Kansas,
the beet winter wheat producing district of the
United States, yielding fom 20 to tib Bushels per acre.
The average yearly rainfall in this county is nearly 33
inches per annum, one-third greater than in the much-ex
tolled Arkansas Valley, which has a yearly rainfall of less
than 23 inches per annum in the same longitude.
Stock-Raising and Wool-Growing are very remunerative.
The winters are short and mild. Stock will live all the
year on grass! Living Streams and Springs are numerous.
Purr water is found in wells from 20 to t3O feet deep. The
Healthiest Climate in the World! No fever and ague there.
No muddy or impassable roads. Plenty of fine building
tone, lime and sand. These lands are being rapidly set
tled by the best class of Northern and Eastern people, and
will so appreciate in value by the improvements now be•
trig made as to make their purchase at present prices OM
of the very best investments that can be made, aside from
the profits to be derived from their cultivation. Members
of our firm reside in WA-KEENEY, and will show lam
at any time. A pamphlet, giving full information in re
gard to soil, climate, water supply, &c., will be sent free
on request. Address,
