    Intrllirre la Farming;.
In a rccr-nt trip to the interior
the State, it was our good fortune to
meet with romc of the bc?t farmers
in the counties of southern and east
ern Pennsylvania, and were much
gratiScd to bear from them that the
err of "farming does not par' Las
nearly died out, and that most of the
intelligent cultivator! of the soil are
concluding that these pursuits are, to
say the least, quite as profitable as
the mercantile concerns which so oft
en dazzle and entice the younj from
rural life.
This increased profit from farming
is generally attributed to an increas
inar intelligence, fostered chieflv by
the great interest taken in local farm
ers clubs and agricultural papers,
both of which arc now regarded as
essential parts of the business bv all
who would make tho most out of the
land that it is capable of realizing.
There seem to Lave been two
great eras in tho agriculture of the
immediate past. The first was whol
It the age of practical eiperience
Here it was that the book learners,
as those who get an idea through the
medium of the printing press were
contemptuously called, fared badly in
popular estimation. Then the time
when the agricultural chemist, with
his soil analysis and other Tagaries,
became a power, and hosts of men
rushed into farming from city desks
and counters, fully satisfied that the
old-fashioued fanners knew nothiLj ;
and that only for him, with his chem
ical knowledge, would the rich har
vest field bow down in golden grain.
But these times are gone. The
two have cast their lots together. It
is found thev are to grow in mutual
helpfulness. Science is still welcome.
Indeed science is more than ever wel
come ; but she is not idolized until
she has proved her worth in works.
And then, with science, and joined
with it practical knowledge spring
iuir up through business habits such
as only br the aid of which can anv
mercantile business prosper, and
without which farming eucrht neither
nor will it pros(cr, there is no won
der agriculture improves.
Yc arc very glad to note this ben
eficial change. To this end have we
labored, and we take some pride in
the fact that wc have had a little to
do with this promised revival of ag
ricultural prosperity. We have often
felt that there is no reason why farm
ing should not become the most cer
tainly profitable of all businesses.
Merchants do not meet and discuss
as farmers do. Science does not
smile on them as she does on the til
lers of the soil. They have 'tis true,
in many trade branches.papcrs devot
ed to their interest. But none of
these publications enter so closely and
so earnestly into their reader's life as
the agricultural paper does into the
fanners home. Ibis great power
must grow, and must ihj productive
to a remarkable degree; and we
arc quite sure tne time win come
when, instead of as in the past we
read of 'why.lKiTS leave the farm,"
wc shall have learned treatises to ex
plain how it is that so many leave the
counting-house for the pleasure and
profits of country life.
rnorER cake of implements.
In many cases tho wooden part
of an implement will outlast the me
tallic. No one would think to paint
or use any special means to save a
spade or rake-handle ; but it is differ
ent with many things, and as a gen
eral thing much more attention might
be given to the proper preservation
of farm implements than they receive
Many persons use paint for this pur
pose ; but this is costly, and some
times it would pay to preserve wood
at the cost of paint It is iitt gencr
ally known that it is only the oil, or
at best chiefly the oil, which is in the
paint which is the preservative cle
ment, the other material licing added
more for the "looks of the thing"
than any other reason. A piece of
wood, well oiled, will last nearly or
quite as long as though painted in the
best manner. The American Agri
culturist says that crude petroleum
is quite as good as the best linseed
oil for this purpose ; aad if so it is of
course much cheaper, and is within
the reach of every one.
Wc often bee wheelbarrows and
other things rotten or worn out long
before the wheel. Indeed one wheel
barrow wheel will generally last two
three bodies. It would be as well
for those who have no more money
than they want, and who cannot af
ford to lie buying a new wheelbar
row every few years, to try the vir
tue of a little petroleum.

Many years ago, when the temper

of his influence to the cause. Case

whisky was not purcharsed, and the
song of the scythemen in the wheat

there was a beverage most innocuous,
unstimulating and unpalatable to the
army of dusky laborers.
The following morning, Mr. Madi

the wretched woman escapes in-
to the street, calling for help

"That's Jim, I'll be bound," mut
ters the policeman as he buttons up
his coat and starts down the narrow,
dirty street in the direction of the
sounds, while the children cower
trembling into the corner, now and
then peering forth to see if "Father
is coming." Loud, fierce words and
oaths reach their cars, and soon they
see the "star" shining, and know by
that the policeman is coming back,
and, by the noise and confusion, that
he is taking "rather" to the station.
When they are quite past and out
of sight, the frightened little objects
draw a long breath of relief, and
come out of the corner and back to
the hovel thev call "home," comfort
ing themselves with the assurance
that "Father won't be home to night,

she flits about, now here, now there,
restless with joy, and snatching ev

When brown curls press the pillow
late at night, she looks out at the

"what a beautiful world it isl"
Ah I the beauty she sees is owing
chiefly to the fact that her lover has

There is another ccminghomc-toa
dark, dreadful home. So utterly dark
and wretched; my pen refuses to at
tempt a description of it. Banished
from all things beautiful, holy, and
pure, to a world of darkness, and
despair, who can measure the unfath
omable depth of woe and anguisli
which must attend the coming borne
of the lost !
In a bright, a glorious mansion,
they are making ready for the coming
home of many loved ones.
There is a joyful flutter of wings, a
tuning of melodious harps and lyres,
the soft pure air "is ladened with the
refrain, "They are coming home!"
Here, close by the gates, a faithful
mother is waiting to welcome home
her child. The fond hnsband waits
for the absent wife; the "lost baby"
longs for its mother, and the gentle
sister looks eagerly for her brother,
the wild young brother, to whom
she whispered at parting, "Meet mc
in heaven, Charlie. " Friend waits
for friend, the pastor for Lis flock.
There is a glad expectant stir, the
pearly gates arc opened, anda mid
the triumphant anthems of heaven's

what a meeting for the mother, hus
band, sister, friend. But far above
all these is the joy of the saved with
Saviour, of the repentaut prodigal
with his Father, of the sheep with

in rough and lonely ways! No more
weariness, pain or sorrow! At home

Stories about brawny women work
ing their own farms, chopping their
own wood etc., arc applauded by half
of the American press, and that is
the half which looks at a bare, bold
fact.without regard to its surrounding
circumstances. "It should be remem
bered," 6ays the rrairie Farmer
with rare good eenso, " that such per
formance on the part of the females
arc only croppings out of barbarism
that only a portion of the world Las
yet emerged from. England Las plen
ty of it left in the agricultural dis
tricts, and it is not unknown in the
manufacturing counties. A late writer
in the London Telegraph describes a
trip into Staffordshire, where the wo
men work at the blacksmith's forge
as long and as Lard as the men ; he
says it is not uncommon to Gnd a
mother and three lusty daughters,
fully of marriageable age, stripped to
their stays, and, with a kerchief over
their shoulders, wielding the ham
mers Mid tugging at the . bellows,
making twelve hundred nails for
twelve pence, and working from 8 in
the morning till 12 at night At Lye
Waste whole streets are made up of
those smithies, in which these wom
en aud their children toil, year in and
year out, beside their husbands and
brothers. They Lave about as much
refinement and intelligence as a
'Digger' Indian. Let our women take
to the plow and hoc, and wc should
soon bave districts in which they
would rival those muscular females
of the Staffordshire smithies. Wc arc
disgusted with all this talk about
women farmers. Let our girls take
all the prizes of universities; drive all
the men from the rostrum; run our
banking and brokerage; keep our
shops; become Governors and Presi
dents; vote and be Lappy according
to their capabilities; but deliver us
from female blacksmiths and farm la
borers. If man is not fitted for this
work, we don't know what his partic
ular sphere can be."

The Morj of a Male and a Bear.
The Memphis Appeal is responsible
: for the following comical, if not in-
cremoie story. It says that a Tew
days ago a gentleman living near
Madison Station, on the Memphis and
Little Hock road, left his home to go
to the Tillage. lie had not proceeded
more than two hundred yards, moun
ted on a lineal descendant of Balaam's
jtss, whea he encountered a great
greasy black bear. Tho bear was
astonished, and without taking time
to think, hurried up a scaly-bark
hickory and seated himself very com
fortably on a limb thirty or forty feet
from the ground.
The farmer was completely puzzled.
If he rode back to his bouse to get his
gun, the bear would surely escape.
He. therefore, tied the mule, a long-
eared, melancholy mule, forty or fifty

die could hold .him, and a strong
leather cable was kept coiled about
his neck. With this be was fastened
to the tree. The farmer started to
the house, and bruin, divining his
plans doomed it prudent to get away
ltc doubtless suspected that a gun
was coming. He came slowly down,
tearing the bark from the body of the
tree. It rattled obout the sleepy
mule's head, who had not seen the
liear, and dreamed not of the proxim
ity of the ugly beast. The bear des
cended slowly until within Gvefectof
the mule's ugly head
Then it was that the stupid, inno
cent, unsuspecting mule looked tip.
He had never seen a bear before. His
knees'smote one another. He grew
pale in the face. His eyes were pro
jected from his head, the farmer said,
half a foot. His tail was slowly
lifted, the hairs all turned awry, till it
stood at on angle of forty-five degrees
above its spinal column, and thou it
was that the mule "hoved a sigh and
s noled asmile." It wasan unearthly
sound. The farmer, fifty yards away
says it shook the ground where he
stood watching the progress of events.
The bear suddenly twisted itself
about and re-ascended to its perch
The mule swooning!? fell at the base
of the tree. He lay still and appar
ently lifeless for a time, when bruin
again attempted the descent; but the
terrified mule howled and roared even
more terribly end piteeusly when the
bark began to fall, and he dashed and
danced about the tree so frantically
that bruin hesitated, and finally in
stupefied amazement, sat upon the
limb upon which he first rested. The
farmer came with his rifle, and a
bullet soon stopped the pulsebeats of
the bear. If fell beside the mule, aud
strange to tell, as told to us, the mule
and bear died side by side; "the one
of a mortal wound ; the other of
mortal terror. The bear was still
black as Erebus ; the mule's face was
already white with an indescribable
agony of mortal fear.

!A merchant left St. Petersburg to
travel across Europe, in the course
of his journey he arrived at Warsaw.
Being furnisned with a letter of intro-
quction, be repaired to the Louse of
one of the cbicl citizens there, and
was most courteously received. He
staid at Warsaw for a week, and his
host spared no pains to make the visit
agreeable, and showed him every
thing worth seeing in the town. In
deed, the visitor was quite overwhelm
ed by an amount of kindness rarely
shown to any but a friend of long
standing.
At length the pleasant visit drew
to its close, and after breakfast the
guest expressed his wish to see some
of the poor parts of the town of which
he had heard. "But," said be, "I
have with me a box of great value,
that I do not like to . risk in such
places. If it were my own, I should
not ue so particular, but it was in
trusted to me bv a friend, who re
quested mc to deliver it to a person
in another town. It contains dia
monds and other valuables. Would
you do mc a great favor by taking
charge of it for the day T" The host,
with bis usual urbanity, willingly
agreed to this proposal, and the mer
chant departed, with a light heart,
on Lis tour of inspection, 1 forgot the
name, but let us say to the "Seven
Dials," or "Five Points" of Warsaw.
Next morning, after breakfast, be
cordially thanked Lis kind entertain
ers for their zealous hospitality, and
added that as he was about to de
part Lc would now resume Lis charge
of the box, which Lad never before
quitted his presence since be had re
ceived it from Lia owner. Tho Lost
and hostess stared al him in well-1
acted amazement. "What box ?'
asked tho Lost "I remember no
box; do von my dear?" turning to
his wife. " "No," she said, "I ba o
no recollection of any box whatever."
"What was it like V asked the host ;
"perhaps you left it in your room."
But on the merchant persisting that
it was with the host himself it hud
been left, on turning to his hostess,
and trying to make her rt collect tL
circumstances, both (after appealing
to. each other several times, and forti
fying each other in their denial) be
came cold and distaut, and begau
hinting that something must have
happened to the merchant to induce
him to persist in so strange a de
lusion. As the host touched his forehead
with a significant glance, the poor
man remembered that he was in a
strange city ; tiie ground seemed to
be slipping from under bis feet ; dan
ger to buuself loomed in the distance,
and he hastened from the house in
alarm. Straight to the police he went
and stated his case. The otlicial lis
tened imperturbatly to the whole
story, and then asked, "You gave up
this valuable box to an acquaintance
of a week's staudiug without any
witness or anv writen acknowledg
ment ?"
" He had been so very kind, a man
in his positi "
" Bah ! you a man of business !
But bave you no proof that the box
belongs to you ?" " None whatever
except the key. It is locked and
I have the key here it is" and he
produced a small key from an inner
pocket
The official remained lost in thought
for some time, and then said. "Well

ernor of Poland) is a stern, harsh
man, but he is known for his rigorous

No time was lost, aud the mer
chant soon found himself in the arch
duke's presence, and was desired to
relate his story. When it was con
cluded, the archduke, after a few mo
ments' reflection, rang a bell. Au

was quickly done, and the archduke,
without preamble or question, said to
the guilty man ; "Sit down at the wri

liegan
dictating :

"No," said the man, springing from
his seat, "I won't write that."
"Then, you are guilty," was the
prompt answer.
Puzzled and foiled he resumed his
seat and wrote as he was desired.
" My dear wife All is found out."

Then he sign, d it with his name,
by the archduke's order and a mes
senger was dispatched with it. The
messenger found the lady at her toi-
et. ben she read the missive she
turned ashy pale, trembling violently.
I hen, lfaning forward, she drew
the box from the recess in her toilet
table and handed it to the bearer,
who, swiftly retiring, placed it in the
hands of the archduke. He immedi
ately handed it to the merchant, de
siring him to unlock it; that being
done, he asked whether the diamonds
were all there. Yes, hc box bad
had not been opened ; they were ex
actly as the merchant had left them.
Again the archduke rang the bell,
and to tho attendant who entered he
said, designating the guilty man,
Take bim to Siberia; ho is not to

when he said to her, solemnly :

obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state
of the stomach, and treat torpor of the bowels, being
cL-vcd up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat

these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is

the ejects of t!e inflammation (tlte tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure
is effected.

Bitters are Afenent. Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant.
Sudorific, Alterative, and Antt-Bittous.
The Aperient and mild Laxative properties of
Dc Walkkr's Vikrcar Bitters are the best safe
guard in ail cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,
their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect
ths humors of the fauces- 1 heir Sedative properties
allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels,
either from inflammuion, wind, co.ic, cramps, etc
Their Counter-irritant influence extends throughout
the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid
neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. 1 heir
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre
tion ef bile, and its discharges through the biliary ducts,
and are superior to ail remedial agents, fur tlte cure ol
