When a man's iite• is heroic., and'hiwname Las passed into -history, -the World wants to know him personally, intimately. The grave and reverend chronicler,' passing over his he. ginnings,, presents him abruptly in his full grown greatness: men render the admiration earned, but the sympathetic emulation awak'- ened is concerned to know how he grew into his maturity of excellence. This curiosity is inot an idleness of the fancy. but a personal interest in, the facts that spring out Of those aspirations which put every %Irian upon the fulfillment of his own•destiny. How caine this man to . excel—what was in him—what hammed t develope it? 'Some rizen are born great; some athieve greatness; some bate gieatness thrust- upon, them. / " How came this 'man by it?

As a boy, his instinctive bent impelled him' to the inulgenee and enjoyment of such ad ventures as_were.'hest fitted to train him for the work before him. His eu&giatc sfildies suffered some postponment While his physi- cal qualities pressed for their necessary train, ing and discipline. it was alinost in the spirit of 'truancy that he explored the Blue Moun tains CliNirginia, as a student of geology,..en der the guidance of Professor Rogers, -and cul-' tivated, itt once, his hardihood of vital ener gy and those elements of natural science which were to qualify him for his after .servie in the field of physical geography. BKin due time he returned to the pursuit of literature, And achieved the usual honors, a well as though his college studies had auffered no di version—his muscles and nerves were edncat- i ed, and his brain lost nothing by the indirect- I ness of its decelopement, but was rather c0t..., roborated fur all the uses which it has served since._ He graduated at the University`, of Pennaylrania—first, in its ccillegiate, and af ierwards in its medical department. His . -special relishes in study indicated his natural drift; chemistry' and surgery ; natural science in its most intimate converse with substance, and the remedial art in its most heroic func tions.

What is a farm ? should first be asked ; for in con'ideration of any subject it is time well applied which is spent In getting; vicar idea - of the ward' which rinmestit. A farm, for us, means a portion of land, cultivated and managed by the own er, who lit'es'erxm it; andlence it takes in the.thought of home, s4i that homcstead is al most a synonymous term. Hence among thiners to be considered in the choice ofa farM we e shall say:. • 1. The farm should be pleasantly Situa ted as 'a home. The health,comfort and hap piness of these who are to .occupy it are of prime itnportance—so every social and phys ical influence which bear upon them should have due weight in determining a choice.— However fertile a , farm may he, if the lo eality is an unhealthy one, it cannot mak e a home. If and healthy, but. surround by a moral miasma—or with but few "soolid privileges' and adVantagesit cannot be• a pleasant home. • The farm'shoilld be in agreement with the means and circumstances of the owner. A farmer needs eapittil as well as land in or der to operate profitably. The great error of Arberican husbandry is that tartits.are at most universally too large for the ralxir and capital at the commawi of those who carry them on. - Hence arises a train of evils which we have often sought" to • bring yore our readers. 3. The farm should be suited to the pro ducts proposal—and these should conform "with the demands of the market, and the taste and experience of the owner. Some farms are best calculated for.grain.growino , e' , others still for stock and grass-growing. ln many `localities these may be profitably combined,, and land secured which shall be appropria tea to ;mat a course of 'husbandry. The re cent great increase in the facilities of trans- ' portation, influences a laro extent of country, and many places, heretofore of small value on account of distance from market, have now become desirable for farming purposes) Still, It is worthy to be thought of; whether; it will Ast ten cents or one hundred to brine a product before the consumer, and the value of a farm will deOnd materially upon the ex._ pease of intercommunication.

I aeked, '-Whois this multi' 1 I ' don't know hini, and . under stood him to answer, with - ,..art imprecation. ' You'll kn?w me soon enough,' or ' You'll know me hereafter,' when he turned, and Went d4wo toiard the street. 'NO ono answered my inquiry klireetly,'but :some" friends - soon came, up and told ; me that my assailant was Albert Rust, M. C.,, .from Arkansas. He - gave tier hint (Zany cause or pretext he may have had - for, this assault, but..( must infer that it is to be found in my 'strictures -in Monday's Meese (letter of Thursday' eve ning last) on hieettempt to drive Mr, Banks out of the field ,as a candidate fot."peaker 14 passing a resolution inviting all' - the .piesent candidates to withdrew.- - I 'thought that )a mean trick, and Said so most decidedly ;4I certainly think no better of. it, now that .I have made.tha acquaintance and of - its .airtli.
