Farmers, who complain of being hard prcs*e<l, never attempt in lighten their burden b.V Striving to In; i economical As a i ule, tanners despise small things, forgetting thai wnts make dollars. If ihe merchani were as negligent of his business as the average farmer, his shop would close with the year,anil he would become bankrupt. Farmers should he systematic and economical, and raise their provision?, if possible, at home. The reason the Yankee is ir ore prosperous than his southern brother. Is because lie understands his trade and works systematically, while the southerner has no lixed rule. It fanners would unite like men of other professions they would accomplish what they now consider impossibilities.

Mr. Ford contributes io the last North American Kevicw a paper whifcji thro?vs historic light on the cast>.>f Mis. Surratl. Mr. Ford insists most earnestly that in her execution an innocent* woman was oilicially .^ fyanghd by tiie Fniled .States govcrnriciil. Jt may be so. In that period of horror and excitement it is quite possible that nice discriminations were not made. Mr. Ford's evidence shows that John Wilkes Jjoo'.h could have had no knowledge that President Lincoln was to be at the theatre the evening of April 1-1 till noon of that same day. The plot, such as it was, was arranged with P:iyne and Adzcrott after that hour. Mrs. Surratt had gone out of Washington to the country early thai morning. Mr. Ford 1 nings evidence to show that Mrs. Surratt had no knowledge of the conspiracy. Five nu mbers of the military commission that sentenced her signed a recommendation to the president for mercy in her ca-e. Mr. ! Ford believes this was never !::5d i?eI fore the president. As Mrs. .Suriatt "walked in her shroud to the seallbid" it was wiiil that she hogged to bo por-j | milted to tell the peoplei.be was innocent. It was refused. ^ t m * ft is said that John Bright gained his rare mastery of strong, pure English by his close study of the English J.ihle.

It might do good. If the "standards of doctrine" were named, the term defined,1 why, then, we could wrangle more intelligently, more pointedly.
