In the tdwn of Schuyler lives one of eleven
children, who In common parlance mioht hn
called a farmer, although we are lotbto
disgrace a noble profession by placing such
a being in Its ranks. This "existence" has
had a mother living with bim for some time,
who, atter years of bard labor in bringing up
her numerous thankless children, lav last
Friday upon ber dying bed, without a sin
gle one or all her c bildren at her bedeide to
receive ber parting words and lid-her a
woeplng farewell. As the moment of disso
lution drew nigh the minister in attendance
sent for her son, who was in bis meadow
riding a borrowed mowing machine. To
tbe request of tbe mluister that be should
come aod seo bis mother before she died, be
sent back tbe reply that as he only bad the
loan of tbe mowing machine until sundown,
he must cut as much grass as possible with
it before that lime, and therefore could not
come up to tbe bouse until datk. And so
while tbe son was running tbe mowing mc
cbine leisurely around the lot the spirit of
ois motner passed ;intp eternity. Philoso
phers and theologians may assurt wbat they
please with reference to the insane nobility
in every human beast, but from this time
forth we shall maintain that we know of
one case ot totul depravity so long as tha t
