Bu xons -r PIOr PEACE. " EDrruft-I love to meet a na bdr and hear him ahy. "bow's craps?' 1,eontIue to like farmin. I like il vbtter and. exsep that the wheat it sumwbat doubtful about makin v 'rap. A ittile long bug with a tail al both' eends has got in the joints anc sucked the' sap out, and its fallir down in patches. L)oks like there is always sumthin preyin on sumthin and nuthin is safe from disaster it this subloonary world. Flies an< buga and iust prey on the greet wheat. Weevils eat it up when iti cut and put away. Rats eat thi corn-moles eat the gubbers-hawki eat the chickens-the minks kille< three of our young ducks in on night-cholera kills the hogs-an< the other night one of my naborE mules cum along with the blin staggers and fell up a pair of seve steps right into my front gate an died without kickin. Then there i briars and nettles and tread safts an smart wood and pisen oak and Span ish needles and cickle burs and do fennel and snakes, thats always i the way on a farm and must be look ed after keerfully, especially snakei which are my eternal horror, and shall always believe are sum kin t the devil himself. I can't toleiat such long insects. But we farmer bay to take the bad with the good and there is more good than bad wit me up to the present time. My corn begins to loolk splendid These warm nights it grows while am asleep-just like the intrust oi them darn little just debts you owe excuse me, Mr. Editor, I don't knov for sertin that you owe any , but it a reasonable presumption, consider in your bisness, and its no digrac no bow. Most everybody owes en from the United States of Amer'icl down to the umiblest individuals, o which last I am whom. I look upor it as a charitable act to borrow fr'on a man who has a surplus. I think heap of Gov. James and Gen. Aus tell, and all such, and it would grecv me to harve their money get must, and would Just and rot for lack ai borrowvers. I sometimes take a litti just to encourage em, for they ar human beings, and just as much en titled to a livin as the best of us. Mr. E4ditor, its a ai great comnfor to me to set in my piazzar' thies pleasant evenings and look over ib farm, and smoke the pipe of peace and ruminate. Ruminate upon01 th rise and fall of empires and partic and presidents and pr'eachers. think when a man has p~assed th< Rubicon of life, and seen his shart of trouble, smuokin is allowable, for i kinder reconciles him to live on wh ile longer, and promotes philo - sofic reflections. I never know'd bigfl-ttthper'ed mliin fo be fond of it Old Aunt Patience told me she has been smookin for 50 years, and heard her advisin' Mr's. Arp to tr, it awhile, for, sez she, "mnissus,i makes a body so quiet and peace able." But my wife, you know, wai raised a Methodist, and they are for nent it. Just like all other deuni. nation~s, they make a close r-un o: Bum things, and on others a litti loose in the socket. i'm now livin i a Methodist settlement, right uinde the drippinspf Dr. Felton's chapel and they are a goodJ peoll around me, and I've been wonderii bow the doctor kept em all so stral while lie was so 'far away. It doe Jook like a pity to see his meeti' house olosed every Sunday, and imay ~be, when lhe comes home again, a dd providence will conclude to le bi& abide with his flock. But then) h~~Ke other hand, it may be mnor, an for thme doctor to use hil C ne with the rascals at Wash vin uto keep them from stealin an< ;ki1z4and' at the same time attend t< Son~ poittical, intruist and con tinute t< ao4p reliable gardin seed, it may RU1r the best.. The good Lort ~nQi 4Ion't. Thornfore I haven'i a~u my mind about seniding back again. Yoij see there is WoD'ord, who. is my friend, ani pant to go, and Ihe built a Sbee than .anybody '~'A catsp whileth0 Upo PrIn r crss TInhr is my friend' as IWright,,pAd be mont want to go. He aint got any' meetid ouse ofhis own Iqu ' , ' I equ. but then he preacreI all ardtid gen erally, and dips 'em and Washes the a t saints feet, and so forth, He was a sho general, too, and 6an'run the camp- the and the cross both, and I always hay wondered why be diden't build him a sinnygog or sumthin. I like to see . every man work up the full measure ma of his capacity. You bee.. the preach- 0 ere and the soldiers have got the s I country sorter in a swing, and no L other sort needen't run for office till j the swing wears out. Nobody need- 1 3 ent try to get in on the eternal prin 3 ciples of the Jeffersonian democracy. I Therefore if we hav got to take 'em sull 3 take the yery best we can get. is 11 I Mr. Editor, Iread the other day th.%t there was thirty-seven [preachers in Congress, and they was a all Methodists and Baptists, and it j dident look exactly fair to me. Cant pu a we have a few Presbyterians and I Episcopalians sent on: just to keep the scales on a balance? But then they couldn't go, for their churchez won't let 'em. I've ruminated at power over these things, and ain't hide bound about it neither, fr my ye doctrine is nut to fuss about what o you can help. I recon its as proper ( e e for a soldier of the cross to go to Ve E COngress as a soldier of the Camp, I and them two sorts seem to be a Ye gainin ground among the people ev o ery day. I wonder if a soldier of the cradle will ever stand any chance? Ve I Solomon said it' a man had his quiver full of children he should stand in . the gates, or words to that effect, and Ve ' Solomon was a smart man, but il looks nowadays like a poor fell- Ve - with ten or a dozen dident have Ve mutch time to stand around a g ate or swing on it either.
