COST Of GROWING POTATOES.
In ppeakins of prodnciog t crop
t ' Li ba t 'vMtlTtt '
or 'to prow,' and not to raise, as is
ffoiKrallT sid," yet to raise is not ab
olutelTao improper term, as applied
to prowing crop, bat onlf lew prop
er than to grow. Let us now see
wbat it generally eon to grow (or
to raine, if you prefer tbat word) a
orop of potatoes on good lertile land,
such as will produce from 100 to 200
buf-bels to the acre ? I will adduce
my testimony, and my first witness
is a writer in the Country Gentleman
who mvs: Tbe work should be done
mofrtlr by horses with labor-earing
implements. Tbe land, to be in good
condition, must be free from the
seeds of weedi, so as to require no
band boeing, but to admit of frequent
borse cultivation ; and it should be
deep and friable enough to facilitate
ea?y planting and digging. It must
of course be well onderdrained, either
naturally or artificially, especially if
inclining to clay ; and it should be
deep enough to bold moisture in time
of drouth. A case was met with a
few years ago, showing tbe value of
a deep soil, wiiere a ro w of potatoes
was planted on a covered drain, and
the season being dry, it yielded near,
ly double tbe amount from parallel
rows, tbe mellowed subsoil in digging
the drain making all this difference.
PLANTING, AC.
There are aome potato planters
that cut and drop tbe seed, and cover
it at one operation : but tber are
more or less defective, and I think
that farmers bad better cut tbe seed
bv band, as is irenerally customary,
and also drop it br band. Tbe seed
may be cut on a rainy day, and a man
and two boys (or girls H you please;,
will drop and cover an acre a day,
the drills three feet apart, and the
teed from twelve to fifteen inches
apart in the drills. The coveriog to
1 done with a one horse plow, about
six inches deep when tbe ground is
leveled. This fchould be done when
the potatoes are beginning to appear
where tbe ridges made in covering
are evened down about twenty days
after planting. It may be done with
6iuoothiDg barrow, with ehort
teeth, without anv iojury to the po
tatoes : or turn a common harrow
over with tbe teeth up. and load it
with one or two large stones, and
then harrow across the rows, and tbe
woik will be well done, the land
made smooth, all weeds destroyed,
and the potatoes just coming tip.
The entire after cultivation should
renerallr be done with a horse, first
perhaps with a cultivator, if tbe
ground is bard, or very weedy, to be
followed at the proper time wun a
Lorse hoe, and billing tbe potatoes
just enough to cover tbe weeds among
them ; and tbe digging ahould be
done with a potato digger, or a plow.
Tbe writer quoted above says : On
light soils, the digging may be per
formed by any of the cheaper diggers,
which are made with prongs project
ing in tbe rear of tbe plow ; the soil
being friable, tbe tubers are thrown
to the surface. On heavy or adhesive
toils, none of these implements work
well, and we use a common plow,
running just deep enough to invert
tbe potatoes, picking up all thus
(rougbt in sight, and bringing the
rest to tbe surface, with a common
barrow. Br a little practice, this
mode makes clean gathering, not half
a busbel per acre remaining in tbe
eoil. Two men usually harvest sixty
feufbels a day.
THE COST PES ACRE.
It is not possible to give rdt de
tailed cost of growing an acre of po
tatoes, that will apply to all cases, as
it cosU more in some sous than oth
ts : and some farmers have better
implements than others ; but the fol
lowing estimate is not far from being
correct in most cases :
the timber thoroughly to the heart, so
as to extract any moisture which
mar be etill lodred at tbe centre, and
hardening a ernet on the surface of
the posts. Afterwards, to" prevent
the dosU absorbing water, tbey anocld
be well coated with coal tar. having
its acid destroyed with fresh quick
lime. The tar should be thoroughly
bailed, to evaporate all watery mat
ter, and applied boiling hot. A large
tank holding tbe poets set : on end,
and filled with tbe eealding tar from
a boiler, answers the purpose very
well. Of course, the upper half of
tbe poeta can be painted when placed
ia tit u. I am fully' convinced coal
tar, properly applied to thoroughly
seasoned timber, is far more effectual
in preserving posts than creoaoting,
poisoning, kyaniiing, Ac.

Harrowing and furrowing 1.00
Planting and covering 2.00
Cultivating three times 2.00
Applying I'aris green twice 3.00

To this fbould be added one-half
tbe value of any manure applied to
the land, as half of its virtues may be
charged to succeeding crops ; and if
yon please, you may add interest to
Ibe value of the land. I am sure tbat
any farmer may do all the work for
an acre of potatoes, as above stated,
for $15; and in aome cases, the pota
toes will not cost over fifteen cents a
buebel, while the average will not,
even when a good dressing of manure
is applied, be over twenty-five cents
per buebel. In some places, as at
tbe west, where they grow from 300
to A 00 bushels per acre, the cost is
not over five cents per bushel.
SEEPING. CLOVER WITH OATS.
Land may be seeded to clover with
oats in the spring, but tbe oats should
cot be sown very thick. A farmer in
Western New York says: Havin
never tried the experiment, as we al
ways seed with wheat, I will state
the successful result of a neighbor
near, who wished to seed down an
entire field, but being unable to do so
with wheat, one-half being in sowed
corn, be was obliged to seed with oats
the coming spring. The other part
of the lot was in oats, and ' then put
to wheat. The land was in good
condition, having had two crops of
sowed corn and plenty of manure. It
was put in good order, by careful
plowing and cultivating, then rolled.
Tbe clover seed was sown about the
middle of May, just in advance of tbe
grain drill when sowing oats, which
covered the seed. I could see no
difference between the clover after
wheat and tbe part after oat. Both
completely covered tbe groand, Wotv
somed the same year, and were ae
cessiul. I am not in favor of the
practice, as oats shade tbe groand
more than either wheat, rye or bar
ley. ' - -

I copy tbe following front aa Ene-
lish paper : The proper seasoning of

ach is comparatively eoetly, and on
ly partially uoeewrfuL One great
objection to tbe application of eola
tions externally rests On the fact that
tbe sap being conSned, aoelerates de
composition in the interior. Most
foresters, must have observed this.
What I ' would recommend wkh
fencing posts is tbe materials, when
felled, to be directly sawn into posts
and stored' under sheds thoroughly
ventilated, where they will remain at
least a year exposed to sun and wind. !

"I don't b'lieve I ev er told you how
Colonel Gribbins got used up in mak
ing political speeches in a hot cam
paign thirty years ago, with Sara
llexford, did I ?" asked nncle Parker.
"No, he never had.
"Well the long an' short of it was
tbat Gribbins and Ilexy, as we called
bim, was stumpin' tbe btate togeth
er givin' jin't discussions on the is
sues of the times. Gribbins was a
regular rattler on tbe stomp, and
tbey hadn't been on tbe road two
days before Ilexy found out that he
bad a mighty big contract on band.
Tber were both aood speakers, and
either one on 'em could hold an audi
ence till they got hungry, an though
11 err was without tbe least mite oi
doubt away ahead of tbe old man on
sound argument an' convincin' doc
trine, still Gribbins had the faculty
ofdashin'upa slashin' lot o' sar-
J caam an' slingin' it in just at the right
time to tickle tbe crowd an' eitner ;
spike all Ilexy's biggist guns or turn
'em square arennd, An' make 'em
p'inttbe wrong way. Ilexy didn't
like this a bit, for he was a young
man, an' it hurt him like fury to see
tbe laugh turned on him, for he was
matter o' course full o' vanity ana
thought more of a woman's smile than
a man's vote. lie kept a weather
eye on tbs old man, though, studied
all bis p ints ana dodges, an' maae
up his mind to get eaves with tbe old
fox, or never go home. But ha ha4
bis bands full, now, you're just right
"Tbe Colonel was an old stacer.an'
be didn't propose to be caught nap
pin', bo whenever Ilexy d get pull
ed up a little with tbe conceit tbat he
got bim just wbere be wanted bim,
as soon as tbe old man get tbe boards
again, be'd find himself worse took in
than ever, for away tbe old fellow
would sail over bis head clear out of
reach, with some new piece o' devil
try and cuonin' tbat Hexy'd never
dream of. It worried tbe youngster
like blazes, but oe wasn't tbe sort to
throw up the sponge, an' he bung on
with full confidence tbat he would be
able by some hook or crook to vank
the old silrer-tonge around right
where he wanted him before he got
through, an' that's just wbat fce did,
"t or three days ilexy watched tbe
old man like a hawk an' didn't let a
word or gesture git away from him.
Every look, every sylable, every move
of the hand, every smile, every twitch
o' the lips, every squint o' the eye,
was all marked an' laid away tor use
when tbe time come.
"Abont tbe third day, I think it
was, Ilexy noticed tbe Colonel bad a
fashion o' layin' his specks on the
stand, an' them about tbe time be got
ready to sling red-hot sarcasm thick
en'n black-legs at a hoss race, he'd
picked 'em up, set 'em on his nose, an
in less n a minute shove 'em away
back on bis bald bead, an' then cut
loose, an' bile along with a vengeance.
AH at onest it popped into Ilexy's
bead how Dan'l Webster had floored
tbe head boy at school by cuttin' off
a button that be fumbled with while
sayin' bis lessons, an' be saw in a
minute how be could straignten out
tbe Colonel in tbe same way. Be
fore the speakin' begun tbe next ar
ternoon be bought two dozen pairs o'
cbeao specks, of the same pattern as
the old man's an' then laid low for a
big game.
"That day tbe Colonel was feelin
tiptop. Ilexy was setting on the
other side of the stand from him,
watchin' for bis chance. Bimeby,
tbe old man picked up bis specks as
usual, clapped 'em on his bead an'
struck bis gait Tbe next minute
Ilexy laid another pair up on the

dently put his hand on the ctand,
got hold o' the specks, and' shoved
'em up alongside o' the totber ones.
Tbe audience roared, which s'posin'
be'd made a good p'int, spurred bim
on. Well, Ilexy kept on pilin' more
specks on tbe 6tand, an tbe old
rooster kept on chnckin' 'em up on to

Washington, Saturday Feb.' 2
Just after tbe inauguration of Presi
dent Hayes, when the Democrats of
South Carolina and Louisiana were
loudest it their demand tor "reform"
in their State Governments and rec
ognition at tbe hands of tho National
Administration, tbey made many
high-sounding promises regarding tbe
just, fair, and honorable course tbey
would pursue in case tbeir prayers
in will be remembered tbat tber pray-!
ed then were granted. Tbey were
granted. V Uu a large-bearted gen
erosity before unknown in political
history of any country, the Repub
lican President gave heed and credit
to all tbeir complaints, and, having
done bo, went further in giving tbcm
absolute control of their States than
the defeated Democratic candidate
would have dared go. Chamberlain
was forsaken. Packard overthrown,
the South united, and the White
League placed in command. Tbe
most ardent friends of the "pacifies
tion policy" 'will hardly claim tbat
tbe result has been an entirely satis
factory one. Every one of the pledg
es made br the Democratic leaders
has been broken, every one of their
promises disregarded. Every kind
ness tbat has been done tbem, all tbe
extraordinary concessions made them
tbey have accepted as tbeir right, and
in return they have given absolutely
nothing. On the contrary, tbey bare
gone very far out of their way . to
persecute and drive from tbeir homes
all those unfortunate Republicans
who by the new policy of "pacifica
tion and universal good will" were
committed to their tender mercies.
They have not found it convenient
to inquire into the slaughter of State
senator uooser ana nis associates in
Ellenton. but they made ba?te to put
State Treasurer Cardoza m Jail on
trumped-up charge of having defraud
ed tbe State by paying a claim which
was not entirely legal in form. The
bero of the Ilamburg massacre has
been honored by a seat in tbe Senate
of tbe nation, wbile lu Cass Carpen
ter convicted on the unsupported
testimony, of a self-confessed thief,
occnDies a felon's cell. So much for
tbe pledge of fair and honorable deal
ing made by tbe chivalric Wade
liampton. Ilia example has not
been lost upon the men who have
been placed in control of tbe Govern
mcnt ot Louisiana, ine terrible
crimes commuted iv me v cue
League of tbe Felicianas, the mas
sacres of Coushatta, Colfax, Mount
Pleasant, New Orleans, and of "tbe
bloody Red River district" are now
forgotten by Democratic law-officers.
Sot so tbe doings of tbe Republican
Returning Board. Their every ac
tion is Btili viridly fresh Jn tbe mem
ory of the White League, and, in ac
cordance with tbe general sontnern
programme, there is an evident deter
mination to convict tbem right or
wrong. Tbe charge against Gov
Wells and his associates is so trivial,
so inconsequential, ana bo utterly
without foundation tbat no other
inforenc can be drawn from the
proceedings going OQ it) Jfew Or
leans.
It will be remembered tbat Gen
Anderson is now being tried upon
charge of forgery in connection with
the statement of votes from tbe Par
ih of Vernon. What fonndation
there was for the charge, or, to speak
more correctly, bow absolutely with
out foundation it is, was fully proved
by the investigation made by tbe
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections in tbe Spring of 1877.
This morning I bad an extended in
terview with Senator Wadleigb, who
was tbe Chairman of tbat committee,
and from him learned many interest
ing details of tbe Inquiry in question
Tbey, in connection with admitted
facts proved before tbe committee,
show conclusively tbe absolute fat
sity of tbe charge, and tbe wicked
malice and political animus ot the
prosecution. Littlefield, tbe clerk
who originally made tbe accusation
against Gov. Wells and bis associ
ates, the charge, it will be remem
bered, upon which Gen. Anderson is
now being tried was a disreputable
young adventurer, who, for a con
siderable time before he proenred
the appointment as Clerk to the Re
turning Board, had lived by gam
bling and upon the charity ot his
nncle, a man named Speering. In
1874 this man Speering had held
office in Louisiana by Republican ap
pointment, but, upon charges of mis
conduct he was removed, and, by
Littlefield's own confession, cherished
ever after tbat the most' bitter hos
tility to tbe Republican leaders of
tbe State, to whom be attributed his
removal. None of tbe Returning
Board knew Littlefield, and his ap
plication for employment was thrice
refused. Finally, through the impor
tunity of one of the Returning Board
clerks, who was his acquaintance,
and who persuaded tbe board to ac
cept him, he obtained a minor po
sition.
Ilia story is in substance : tbat in
the early part of December, when
tbe count for Slate officers was near
ly completed, Gov. Wells came to his
desk and, without any preliminary
conversation, directed bim to trans
pose the figures denoting the votes
given for tbe Democratic and Re
puoncan canaiaatesat two polls in
tbe Parish of Vernon. He swears
that Governor Wells stated to him
that the reason why he desired him
to do it was he wished to secure the
election of a District Judge in that
parish. lie also stated that he di
rectedhiot to transpose tbe figures
indicating the rotes for Presidential
Electors, so that the forgery might
escape observation. According to
bis own account, Littlefield thereupon
commenced erasing and transposing
tbe d gores, carrying tbe work on at
tbe table where other clerks were
engaged ana wnere tbey could see
what be was doing. lie says tbat
after it was completed and he bad
forged tbe names of the parish of
ficers to the statement be carried tbe
return home and placed it in a drawer
in the room whvb be occupied .. with
his mistress, and for 0 days after
entirely forgot it He admitted that
his node Speering was . so yioieoi
agaiLsttbe Returning Beard as to
tell him be hoped they woud be
hanged and he with them if be took
employment under tbem, and tbat
while he was engaged in their service
Speering over and over agaia im
portuned him to give information
against the Returning ; Board . tbat
would enable him to get his revenge.
Last Winter in this city aa effort
was unsuccessfully made to induce
the Republicans to purchase the pre
tended information. Finding no en
couragement in the direction indicat-
fii, Littlefield with a Democratic
poiitkaa of Iowa, went to ex-Gov.
Palmer, of Illinois, ? frl prjagfield,
and sold him the information, ff op.
Palmer admits that it was the un
derstanding between himself and
Littlefield that the latter should re-
leireftgood office if Tildeo was
ilacted. Bmfc is substantially the
story told by Littlefield. The marks
ntitM filaitT are many. In the first
place, it is proved beyond doubt tbat
Gov. Wells never had any motive
fF mminktiiif the lorgerv. It was
not aecessarT to socore the election
of the Parish Jodge, It effected the
election of no candidate, except to
lpt one Democrat over another
Democrat to the Legislature, in
which, before that, a Republican
majority of 30 had been secured.
Tbe Democrat thus elected was not
present at the organization of the
Legislature, was not present when
Gov. Packard was declared elected,
and was absent when Kellorg. was
elected Senator. II Uov Wells caus
ed tbe forgery to be committed, he
must necessarily have done ao with
tbe full knowledge that it could in no
way benefit bim or bis party ; and be
must also have known that the crime
would be detected, for this same state
ment of votes from tbe Parish of
Vernon was opened publicly in tbe
presence of Governor Palmer, Trum
bull, and tbe Democratic visiting
committee, and in tbe presence of
the Republican visiting committee,
and in the presence of attorneys rep
resenting both parties before tbe Re
turning Board. They were openly
examined by all who chose to ex
amine tbem, the true vote of the
parish was proclaimed, was taken
down by tbe official reporters wbo
were present, was printed in at least
two pamphlets which were in gener
al circulation, and which were fur
nished to every one wbo wished
tbem. AH this Gov. Wells and his
associates knew wbea the forgery
is said to have been commit
ted, and tber must have known not
only tbat tbe crime would have no
effect whatever, hot that it would be
at once detected
On tbe other band, tbat Littlefield
himself bad a Btrong motive for tbe
commission of tbe forgery, and for
charging it upon the Returnin
Board, there can be no doubt lie
was depending on his uncle, who
was eagerly and actively hostile to
the Returning Board ; he was with
out means of bis own, reckless, un
scrupulous, on bis own eonfesssion,
and was well aware tbat be could
sell, as be subsequently did sell, a
secret, or a pretended secret, damag
ing to Republicans, to the party
Which his uncle served.
But tbe story of Littlefield is so
improbable in another respect tbat it
' mm It M
can only be regraa as lie irom
beginning to end. It appears from
bis own testimony that Gov. Wells
bad never spoken to him until the
night when be directed bim to com
mit tbe forgery. lie bad no acquaint
ance with him, and hence had no
reason to suppose he eould te sa'ely
intrusted with such a secret. Tbe
other clerks, to wbom tbe Governor
might have given such direction,
wore bis old political and personal
friends, bad been long trusted by him,
and were those in whom he bad ev
ery right to have confldenos. I it
credible, then, tbat, under tbe cir
cumstances, be would direct this com
parative stranger to commit a crime
which could easily be discovered, and
for wbicb, if known, be would be Iia
ble to imprisonment in the Peniten
tjary ? Nor is this all Littlefield
A tinker was traveling in a coun
try town, and, having traversed many
miles without finding anything to do,
be stopped, weary and hungry, at a
tavern. Here be got into conversa
tion with a glazier, to wbom be re
lated his troubles. Tbe latter sym
pathized with bim deeply, and telling
bim he should have a job before long,
advised him to go to his dinner and
eat heartily. The tinker took his
advice, ate bis fill, and, when be re
turned to the bar-room, he was over
joyed to hear tbat tbe landlord re
quired bis services to mend a lot of
pans and kettles which bad evidently
"sprung a leak." The tinker wa at
once set to work,' accomplished "the
task, received a liberal sum in pay
ment, and started on bis way rejoic
ing. Upon reaching tbe outside of
tbe house he met the glazier who
said :
"Well you see I told you the truth.
I procured you a job of work, and
how do you think I accomplished
it"
"I am sure I cannot tell," replied
tbe tinker.
"I will tell you," rejoined the
glazier. "You told me you were
weary, hungry and dinnerless. I
knew tbe landlord wa well off, and
doing a good business, and so I
watched tbe opportunity, and started
a leak in every utensil 1 could get
hold or."
Tbe tinker, with many thanks, and
a heart full of gratitude, resumed his
journey; but he bad not proceeded
many yards until be came to the vil
lage oDoron, when a brilliant idea
struck him ; be could befriend tbe
glazier. Tbe church be thought,
could afford to bear a slight loos in a
good cause; so, taking a position
wbere be could not be seen, he rid
dled every window in tbe edifice with
stones, and then, highly elated with
bis exploit, he retraced bid steps to
notify the glaaier, he ould speedily
hare a very important job.
"Sir," said he, "I am happy to in
form you that fortune has enabled me
to return the kindness I reoeived from
yon an hour siuce "
"How so f " asked tbe glazier,
pleasantly.
"I have broken every pane of glass
in the cnurcb, , answered tbe tinker
and you, of course, will be employed
to put tbem in again."
The glazier's jaw fell, and his faun
resumed a black espn-st-joD, as be
said in a tremulous tone; "You don't
mean tbat, dojyou f "
"Certain!," replied the tinker
there'a not a whole pane of glass in
tbe building. One good t'irn tie
serves another, you know."
'les," answered the glazier in de
spair; "out you scoundrel, you have
ruined me ; for I keep tbe cburcb win
dows in repair by the year.

Thinking.
Thinking Is not di'eaniing. The
world is full of dreamers i a few men
do most of the thinking. Thinking is
manufacturing; it is taking meutal
tools and hammering and filing and
moulding and shaping until ideas
have grown into fully developed re
alities of tbe brain, with dimensions
is oontradicud by Goy. Wells andby and clearly defined ou .lines. The
eight of bis fellow clerks, wbo (wear reason there are no more thinkers is
positively that he did not, as he says,
make tbe erasures at tbe table where
they worked.
ilia story stands entirely unsup
ported, and by his swearing be proves
simply that he was bipaelt a criminal
in tbe pay of Democratic oonspiratops
Tbat tbe members ot the Returning
Board are being tried on a pretext so
himsy shows very clearly tbat tbeir
conduct has been blameless, else tbeir
adroit prosecutors would not have
been driven to ask for conviction upon
such a charge. It proves further that
tbe Democratic leaders of Louisiana
believe tbat like tbeir brethern in
South Carolina, they can convict a
Republican without testimony and
npon charges which by an honest Ju
ry would not be considered for a mo
ment ; it proves tbat, however inno
cent their political opponents may be,
tbey are still ready to sacrifice them
by legal forms ; it proves that tbe
country will still have to wait for tbe
great and good results which Mr.
Stanley Matthews and other states
men of tbe same class predicted would
follow "tbe new policy of pacification
and universal good will."
U. C,
Washington, Feb. 3. Tbe story
that Gov. Wells, of the Lonisiana
Returning Board, has for tbe past
day or two been in Washington is
nn worth j of credit. It now appears
from statements mado by usually
well informed persons that Wells nev
er bad any intention of coming to
Washington, bnt that he concealed
himself somewhere in theSonth, hop
ing tnat no mignt escape tnai by a
packed jury. A new ter ji of tbe
court will commence to-morrow, with
fresh panel of jurors, and the chanc
es of a fair trial will, it is thought, be
thereby greatly improved. o mat
ter what may be the prospect of tbe
trial, however, Mr. Wells must ap
pear in eourt on . l uestfay morning
next, or, by tbe laws of Louisiana,
bis bondsmen will be obliged to for
feit tbe amount of his bail, and it Is,
therefore, considered more than prob
able tbat he will be in New Orleans
to-morrow or Tuesday. It was to
escape trial by the packed jury refer
red to tbat Gen. Anderson concealed
himself jn the Custom House.
Mr. Demerajs, who brought the
petition of tbe Returning JJoard to
Associate Justice Bradley, asking for
tbe transfer of their cases from the
State to tbe United States Circuit
Court, left here to-night on his return
to iNe Orleaos. He savs that al
though J ndge Bradley has refused to
grant tbe prayer or tbe petitioners,

because thinking is work : wears
away tissue and muscle. It is tire,
some ; it requires time and purpose.
Men can dream while tbey sleep ; to
work they must be awake. Dream
ioifii tearing away the food-gate
ana allowing tne nooa to pour
through it anything remains it is on
ly drift-wood tbat may chance to
bang in tbe way. Minds fill with
drift-wood because they are not think
ing. Thinking is tbe measuring of
cbsuces, weighing principles, watch
ing tbe operations of law; it is a pro
cess of creeping upon things and tak
ing tbem by surprise before tbey have
time to get away. A thinker is a
hunter. He must live alone ; be must
be satisfied with small daily fare.and
often seeing bis game living before be
has time to shoot, lie must bave
the courage to face tbe chasm and
dark places and climb steep moon-
tains ; be must love solitude as an
outpost bidden in tbe rocks.
And here is tbe reason tbat this
age is not prolific of good thinkers.
It is an age of company, of travel, of
theatre-going, ot corporation, cf spec
ulation. Men live in crowds ; it is a
day of double houses ; too much of
man and not enough of God. Com
munion with nature is cut out. There
are no sparks because tbe flint and
steel are not in contact Men are
following the college drone, ponying
through life. Everybody wants to
ride. Going to spring for water is
out of fashion ; tbe spring must come
up '.be hill. Wc want to turn tbe
faucet and bave things rnn out to our
hand: the faucet must be on pastors
so tbat it may be convenient.
J-or this reason most people are
only sponges; they live wholly by
absorption, and are like tbe things
tbey touched last. Tbey wait for
things to "turn up," but the only
thing they ever find turning up for
tbem is a little sod in tbe corner of
tbe grave-yard, and they are at last
laid away, wbile the great multitude,
having never missed them ask in
wonder, "When did be die J
