and long beforo hpring inottt of the
Htraw would bu eutun away; and it
took alt tho oala and all the corn we
could Muff into th'.HU horttun lu keep
Iheai Irom uutual aturvalion. In thottu
daya most farmer thought the heat
place lor a pig pen was itiimuniattuy
in front of the uoimo, und tho wood
pile, as a generul thing, coimialed ol
one log upon which an ax or two hud

make kindling. ,
INo farmer can allot U to sell h
wheat and corn and nuts. He ahould
sell horses, not outs ; sheep, cattle and
pork, not corn, lie should make every
prollt poHsiblo out ol what ho protlu-
ew. Bo lwt mm .iu el.i, ,nitr firn

bo poor; just so long your farms wul
bo mortgaged to'lhe inMiiruncc compa
nies and cunitulists of the East: just
so long all the profitof this industrious
State will lie given to pay tho capital
ists of other States. When our farm
ers ship their jiioduuts in tho shape of
stock", thett a wave or prosperity win
Bweep over out- attvto, and Illinois will
becomo the most populous country in
the world.

oven those belonging to the Young
Men's Christian Association, run oil
with tho funds; so many railroads and
insurance companies aro in tho hands
of receivers, there is so much of honk
ruptcy on every band, that all capital
is liuld in the nervous clutch of Icur.
Slowly but surely wo aro coming back
to honest methods of business. Con-,
fideneo will retnrn, nnd then' enter
prise will unlock tho sale and money
will again cirouluto as of yore; tho
dollars will leave their hiding places
and every one will be seeking Invest
ment. Kor my part 1 do not ask any
inlerl'erenco on the part of tho (-iov-vcrnment
except to nndo the rascality
it has done. 1 do not ask that money
bo made out of nothing. I do not ask
tho prosperity born of paper, lint 1
do ask tor the romonilir.ulion ot silver.
Kilvor was dcmonitinH by fraud and
by unblushins vasculity. It wus an
imposition upon every honest debtor
in the United States. It assassinated
labor. Tho man who knowingly vo
ted for tho demonitiiation of silver
never should bo voted for again by a
citixon of Illinois. Wo should have
Bcnso enough to voto only for thoso
men who will guard and protect the
bust interests ol our Slate. Wo should
know hotter than lo voto for mon who
will deliberately voto a tariff of 83.(10
a thousand upon Canada lumber, when
every man in Illinois is a purchaser of
lnmber. We should demand of our
legislators cheap lumber lor Illinois.
Wo should protect our own interests;
wo should take care of on rsclvcs.
' A SAD .STORY.
It was a sad but dramatic scene tliul
was onaetcd, widen Win. C. Ciilman
walked into tho Court of General Ses
sions in JN'ew York und pleaded guilty
to the crime of forgery. Tho dispatch
es' say thut the olliccrs ot thu court
were effected unto tears at tho melan
choly recital of thepriaonor'soonfession
in whirl, ho described the graduul pro
cess ot his temptation and Haul ruin.
It is not at all surprising that they
wure, lor judges and ministers of jus
lice have no exemption from the hu
man .rulings of pity und commiBsera
lion, and tho story of lidmuns full, a-
told by himself, was a most woeful
one.
Hero wus an aged mm who bail,
through a long lilo, enjoyed the repute
of un bohext und upright man. lie
was neither a profligate nor a debau
chee, a gambler nor a paralte, but a
worker and toller, living by his own
industry and thrill, and contributing
his share In tho aggregate of human
labor and endeavor about him. He
made bad investments, by which he
lost all tho honest earnings of years of
thrill und prudence. There were ly
ing in his hands, idle and unemployed,
funds belonging to other parties, and
he sought to save himself und recover
Irom bis mialorttines by betraying a
trust und using theso moneys that liad
been entrusted to hint. This was iho
critical moment In his life, tho hour of
his first temptation and concession.
Here Ii e.B tliut llio ortl nplilt iiirl
its subtlest appeals nnd brought into
play iu most deductive arts. It is not
bard to imagino tho alluring hopes,
tho paltry ustitications, this Mephist
opbclus whispered in his cur, luring
him by degrees from his honest pur
poses, pleading all manner of cxtenua
tions and appculing to every weak
ness ot his poor huiuan nature, till at
fast the sinull voice of conscience was
hushed in his heart. Theso trust funds
wero lo him that costlier casket of

PEl'EA T OF TUE DEACON-
ESSES.
. Tho rejection by the houso of dele
gates of tho Kpiscopal Convention at
Boston of the canon adopted hy tho
houso of bishops for tho creation and
regulation of tho proposed order of
Ileaconessvs or Sister of tbo Church,
Is one of tho most significant events
that hut taken place. It is undoubt
edly owing lo tbo lurgo' influenco of
tho laity in tho Lower Houso. It
must bo noted that tho lay delegation
at lioston has boon usually good as re
gards the distinction, dignity, capacity
and carncBlucss of it leaders. Among
them are men of the highest eminence
on tho bench, at tho bur, tho Cabinet
and in literature. It was inevitable
that these should groatly modify tho
purely clerical idcus oi ihe Convention.
The general movement of thit latest
council of tho churoh hue boon away
from the ritualistic tendencies of pre
vious Convention. Littlo by lillle ex
treme high church ideas were becom
ing prevalent, not so much by what
wus acti.vely dono by tho councils as
by what they permitted without ro
huko if they did not actually sanction.
Tho first great result ol this wus the
soccssion of tho extreme low church
under Jlisliup Cummings; and this, if
it had no other effect, directed tho nt
tontion of tho luily to the drift of
things. Then a reaction set in ; nnd
tho present Convention ha in ull its
deliberations shown tho characteristics
of a reactionary movement. Tho prop
osition to chango the name ol tho
church was beaten hy overwhelming
majorities. Tho proposition to estab
lish tho order ol iieaconcsscs had much
said in its fuvor ; und had it been left
to iho purely clerical decision would
doubtless havo been established. Tho
Cutholio church certainly adds to its
vast working forces hy utilizing the
piety and xeul ol women who wish to
withdraw from society nnd devolo
their lives to good works. There may
bo certain additional advantages in
putting them into unworldly uniforms,
binding tbeni by indissoluble vowsand
subjccling them to severe discipline,
for they may thus bo wielded us a
body of trained soldiers, under trained
leadership. It was thought bo desiro-
ablo for tho Kpiscopal church thus lo
utilize Us material nl the sumo Kind,
that a canon to establish tho order of
Deaconesses actuully passed the House
of Bishops, and was sent to the Lower
IIoiibj. 1 hero, as in llio I pper itouso,
it appears to buve had the clerical in
fluenco in its favor. But oven through
the meagre reports sent on by tele
graph, il is plain to sea that tho prop
osition was not received with great
lavor in tho House of delegates, and
finullv when It came to a voto tho en
tire proposition was voted down and
laid upon tbe luble. Turn, as wo nave
indicutcd, was probably due to the in
fluence of tho luily in iho Convention,
and whatever may bo thought of their
opinions und actions by tho extreme
high church party, wo cannot but rc
gurd il as a sign nt health in tho
church when iis hu'ly for whom,
alter all, thu church exists bus a res
olute will, clear-cut views, and earnest

A LOST SO. RECOVERED.

bor. When they wero called in lo
their studies John was missing; neither
could he be lountl. His father wus
notified, ond together wilh the settlers i
for many mile around lurned out and
hunted tho country over, but could
find no truco of the missing child. Tho
distressed parents had finally to givo
tip the sean.ii in despair, a lew nays
ago a young man cullod at tho houso
ol a neighbor living within a mile ot
Mr. l.cdbeltci's residence and asked
for dinner. Ho was apparently about
sixteen years old, clad in a brown duck
suit, of dark complexion, wilh a scar
above his right eye and a double tooth.
In conversation wilh tho lody ho in
formed her that ho would like to find
out something about his j coplo and
where ho had originally come from.
The lady at once noticed that tho

requested bin) lo go and see Judge
Ledbetler. Hill now that there seem
ed to bo a prospect that his wishes,
just expressed, might ho realised, bo
seemed unwilling lo go, and passed on
to the town. Word was immediately
sent to the Ledbetler family, and liar
vcv. Iho eldest ton, went nt onco in
search ol him. Having found Iho
young mon, Ilurvcy imagined he could
see ill Ins featuro a resomblanco lo his
lost brother, hut he did not introduce
that subject for somo timo, conversing
ut first on other and different topics,
nnd finally persuaded him lo go home
with him. All mat evening t no pa

tho young stranger, and at bedtime
they wore still in dniun wnetner or

doubtedly u family resctnhlunec, sev

disposition.
ICarly tho next moruing Mrs. Led
betler went and Blood over tho sleep
ing youth, and earnestly studied the
lineaments nf his fuco, seeking there
lo recognise some fenturo to tolvo tho
doubtful problem. Sbo became ali
tied, lor lhal motherly instinct which
seldom errs convinced her that this
was her long lost child. (Quietly she
awakened her husband, and together
they semtinited the feuttire of the
sleencr. Tho father teem to have

tbo day, however, all doubt wore dis
pelled by tho youth' recollection of
several incidents which had tuken

ho said, seemed to him like a dream.
His name, he suitl, was Boh; thinks
howuseohlhy one band ol Indians loan

were tho Comanche; but owing to
hi being at thut timo in bad health
they gold him to a hunter who went
by the name of "Tige," tho considera

Thoso men have frequently feuds
with other bands. Tho rifle, pistol
and knifo are theironly law, and when
two of nd verso factions nioet, ns a rule,
ono of thorn must dio. John, young
as he is, has shared in theso uttrnys ;
ho has killed bis man, bocn shot him

llo has no idea ot law, anu even now
it constantly on tho lookout when
meeting ttrungor lest somo of them
might get tho drop on him. IIo will
not consent to bo a moment without

very good to him ; has killed several

books ho carried with him into cxilo,

affection lor him.
A Bhort timo atro Tigo consented to
let tho boy make his first trip to tho

had boon gathering cattlo in tho vicin

for the first timo saw a white woman.

TO RE A FAILURE.
As ninny persons seem to try to sec
how little fruit they cun mako their

a pride in growing worthless varieties,
I w ill give such men a lew hints to
aid them in their endeavors lo render
I heir orchard of no vnluo.
First crop Iho lnnd where llio trees
uro lo bo set till there is no fertility
left in il. A good test ol that state is
to nlunt a few hills of white beans on
it ; and if it fails to grow any pods of
these beans, tho land I in the right
condition. Next, ace that the lences
are down around tho field, so that your
own and neighbors' cattlo can come
in whon tho trees are planted, and
browso on them, which will savo you
tbo expense ot trimming them once a
year.
Ill buying your trees, usk your nur
seryman if ho Uu a "cheap lot," and
say that you are sotting trees for tho
uso of other when you aro dead, and
that von are not going to pay out much
money for them ; and ho will cull your
attention, probably, lo a worthless lot of
trees, not laliclofl, anu stien as win sun
you exactly, being varieties that have!
been condemned by horticultural so.

Another point: You hove undoubt

tainly continued long enough to mako
cortuin the reiuuindvr of Mr. Caird s
prophecy. It is, therefore, of tho first

itoiinisnia, 3 par cent.; and from other
countries, 24 per cent. At the same
rulo, America would this year ho called
on tor 47,620.000 bushels.
In round figures, America) will bo
culled on for fifty million bushels and
tho Black Sea countriet for twenty
millions, liut tho deficit of tho latter
is estimated to beono-hulf, which would
impose on ua tbo naeaaatty oi aupplying
sixty million bushels. F'r tlio post
six years, tho nverago w heat export
of this country has been nearly CI,
000,000 bushels. At Chicago the en
lire wheat crop for this year is csti
inutedlobe32,r).0il0.000 bushels, against
un averago of 1.77,742,125 lor the past
eight years. Hut it is expected by
competent authority that tho demund
of (ireul llriluin on America will bo
moro than K8,OOO,0U0. Some authori
ties put it us high as 90,000,000 bush

eleven millions as betoro given. That

there may likew ise bo a deficit in other
countries than thoso contiguous to tlio

make a still larger demand, without
counting in Cireul Briluin. It is not
probuble thut wo shall produce much,
if any, over :i00,000,000 bushels ot

while it is altogether probuble that our
domestic consumption of it will bo
much increased. I'or tho past eight
years il has averaged 2i:i,O0ll,0O0 bush

to bu taken by (ireat Briluin, whatever
