These v ;says had been prepared with care, h ero generally good, and, in several r istanees, very fine; touching upon t ic salient points of the subject, easily c nd fitly introduced it for further e iscussiun. I cannot give you any l< jtline of all these interesting discus- s on*, mid. boforo mentioning anv s nrlicuUirs in regard to them, it be- t >mes nccessary to say that the Con- s rence was glad to welcome several d isiting brethren, among whom were a rof: J as: II.

Dr. Palmer's ad Iress in the Lee Memorial Chapel, June :7,1872.] Finally, we must bring over to the uture a patriotism that is borne of .dversity and trial, more intense and iure than in the prosperous and joy, ul past, Love of country is extingnishable, iccause it is tilial. It ranks with 4 --- ** 4 1. n t Kit ^ Kn>?n I- j imt we UW U CU liiu jHUuuiaiiiuv ; s, and have given lo us their imago j ud their name. But I pleud for it iot upon the cold fooling of duty, iut as precious sentiment of the ieart. As a principle it strikes- its oot far down into the consciousness; iut its bloom must expand into a holy inKslnn nnd its fruits rinen in Lo acts f enduring sorvico for the public real. The best affections for the oul aro thofc which strengthen un Ier trial. The alloy of selfishness urns away in tho crucible, and the lire love comes forth with a power if endurance whico nothing c n ex laust. It is thus wo bear up each ither the discipline of life, not hrongh the compulsion of ncccssity*, lor the cold obligation of duty, but tith a warm devotion which finds its oy in the ministries of love. A gen ine patriotism, is not that which houts itself hoarse amid holiday cel brations; but when the country ;roans in the anguish of a great crisis, raits upon its destiny, though it be lint of tho tomb. And this land of iurs, furrowed by so many graves nd overshadowed by such solemn nemories, calls for a consecration of ho heart which shall be equal to its ;rief. Tho patriotism which these lays demand must refine itself into narlyrdom. It must suffer as well s act. Strong in tho consciousness f rectitudo, it must norvo itself to nduro contradiction and scorn. If ecd be, it must weep at tho burial of ivil liberty, and wait with the hcro 3m of hopo for its ccrtain resurrec ion. Such a spirit will wear out the ongest tjrann}", and assist at the ornnation of a brighter destiny. Young gentlemen of the University have delivered tho message with rhich I felt myself charged.

If it contains too much political matter, the peoplo don't believe it. If tho typo aro too small peoplo ron't road it. If tho typo aro too largo, it don't ontain enough reading matter. If wo publish telegraph reports, coplo say they arc lies. Ifwc omit them, they sny wo have o enterprise, or suppress them for olilical effect. If wo have a few jokie, peoplo saj' o arc a rattle-head. If wo omit them, they say wo aro n old fossil. If wo publish original matter, they damn us for not giving selections. If we publish selections, men say we arc lazy for not writing more, and giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a man a complimentary notice, we are eensured for being par- the tial. If we do not, all h/inds arc a greedy hog. If wo insert an article that pleases Ihe ladies, men become .jealous. If wo do not cater to their wishes, his paper is not fit to have in the house. If wo remain in the ofTreo and at tend to business, folks stiy wo arc too proud to minglo with our fellows. If we go out, they say we never attend to business. If wo publish poetry, wo cfFcct sontimentalism. If we do not, wo havo no literary polish or taste. Farm, Garden and Household. Plu>m Cake.?Nine ponnds of flour, nine eggs, three pounds of sugar, ono pint of yeast, ono spoonful of rose Water. Spico to your taste; wet with milk. To Disguise Castor Oil.?Rub up two drops oil of cinnamon with an ounce of glycerine and add an.ounce of castor oil. Children will take it as a luxury, and ask for tnoro. To Drive off Rats and Moles.? A correspondent of the Pornologist has found that potatoes in rat-holes and raolo-ruds will clear the premises of these pests in a short time. Buttermilk Biscuit.?Take half a pint ol buttermiiic una one pint on v flour; rub into the flour a piece of 3 butter half an large as an egg; add a J little salt, dissolve a teaspoonful soda?

Bigger Cnors ter Acre. ?It is not merely in the details of fanning op orations that we should aim to render our labor moio effective?wo must more than ever strive to got larger crops per acre. High wages will compel us to raise larger crops or not to raise an}'. It costs no more to pio\v ami plant ana cuinvnic an acrc of potatoes that will yield 300 bushels than ono that yiulds less than 100, and where there are many weeds, little if any more to dig them. It may cost twelve cents a bushel to dig potatoes in the ono acrc, and only four cents in the other. A fold of wheat yielding less than ten bushels per acre, and so full of thistles that it is impossible to bind it, will cost more to harvest it than a clean crop yield ing thirty-five bushels per atro. And the salrte principle holds good with all our crops.?A<jriciiltu<ist. Summer Drinks.? Ice-water should be drunk but sparingly. A most ex cellent substitute for it is pounded ice taken in small lumps into the moutli urid allowed to dissolvo upon the tongue. This will prove very re freshing and much more enduring in O O its effects. Lemonade is a simp> and grateful beverago. To mako it: lvoll tho lemons on something hard until they become soft; grato off the rinds, cut tho lemons in slices and squeeze them in a pitcher (a new clothes-pin will answer for a squeezer in lieu of something better); pour on tho re quired quantity of water, and sweeten according to taste, Tho grated rinds, for tho sake of their aromn, should bo added too. After mixing thor oughly*, set the pitcher aside for half an hour; then strain tho liquor through a jolly strainer, anJ put in the ice. Travelers who find it incon venient to uso lemons can carry a box of lemon sugar prepared from citric acid and sugar, a little of which in a glass of icc-watcr will furnish quite a refreshing drink, and o;,o that will help oftentimes to avert a side headache and biliousness. Citric acid is obtained from tho juice of lemons and limes. THE STATE ELECTION. The Stato election takcs^placc on Wednesday, October 1G. tljree weeks before tho Presidential election. It is therefore practicable to separate the Stato election entirely from the Presi dential canvass. There arc, in the State, about sixty tiiousanu conservatives ana ninety thousand Republicans. Tlio Conserv atives heartily support the Liberal ticket. Tho Republicans, almost to ni man, propose to vote for Grant. A sudden change may be wrought in the temper of the colored Republi cans. They aro led by a hand-full ol politicians who do with them as they will. It is not unlikely that thorc will be developments in a few weeks which will mnko the administration party shako in their shoes. This is in tho future. Any rash movemont would bo disastrous. When wo turn to Stato affairs the feeling is different. Tho Conserva tives aro a unit for reform. They! have no intention of running a State ticket. In their anxious earnestness, they say to tho Republicans: "You chargo the leaders of your own party with cheating and lying, arid you say that }*ou will yourselves purify thej party. Wo take you at your word, and wo will vote for any upright and | capablo candidates whom you may linatc; but wo insist that the didates bo qualified, by character . culture, for the post to which y aspire." This is the position of thirty thousand Conservatives. Tho sixty thousand .Republicans aro ided ; one wing consists chiefly of Federal office-holders, and is led Judge Orr, Major Corbin and cx igressmcm Whittemore and Bowcn. 2y arc all Grantiuns, but they have icd tho Scott-Moses party with paring tongues, and avow their ormination to put foith a sound brm Republican ticket?such a one tho Republicans could with pro ^I\a vaof r\P f l>.n Pn. I )licans, including the bullc of tlio ;roes, are the irrreconcilables, whose didates for Governor are It. K. >tt and F. J. Moses, Jr. They are it on nominating a member of the ig. Their candidate cannot be cd for by the Conservatives or Be rn Republicans. Phis, in brief, is the situation, and t teaches anything at all, it is that i State and the Presidential can iscs should bo kept distinct,, and ,t the Conservatives should bo in haste to move.

They are. the Great lilood Purifier and a Life-givmg ' Principle, a Perfect Renovator and 1 nvigorntor of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restrain^ the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body.
