Journal of Com merce :?I not ice in your issuo of Octo ber 22d, on interesting column called "Good Reading for Farmers." It con tained Bcvernl letters from the files of Milwaukee merchants, showing that dealers of the country are slow in meet ing their accounts because the farmers of the West won't pay their store bills until they can tell their wheat at a price that will suit them. One letter, ad dressed to tho M Iwaukee Journal of Commerce, and signed "Country Mer chant," appeals eloqtieotly to tho far mers to sell a portion of thoir crops, evcu at a sacrifice, and pay the country dealer for tho sugar, tea, ooffeo, pork and dry-goods that they have been oat ing up aud wearing out all summer and that he oiccs for. That letter is so full of truth and sound suggestion that I hope you will let me quota it here in full. I will here say that I i\i^h that every one of tho fifteen hundred news papers of the northwest would place the contents of this letter before their read ers. There is not a word in it that any honest and reasonable (armer, who pays his debts (like every other class of busi uess men) exactly wheu they fall due . nd whether it is entirely convenient, for them or not could object to. And I believe that it would make a great many furmcrs who are unbusiness like aud really dishoucst without meaning to be so, reflect a little and see bow mean t.hoy are in this matter and how much harm thoy are doing to tho busi ncs-s interests of the whole country from Suu Prairie to New York Citv. and bnn. ujuoii thoy arc injuring themselves. It every one of yo> r exchanges in Wucou sin, Iowa, Minnesota,. Michigan and Illinois, would copy this letter o> ?'Country Merchant," I /enow it would save millions of dollars this winter to Milwaukee, Chicago and New York. It would prevent innumerable failures, and take the teeth out of tho wolf, "hard times," that is abroad in the laud deranging tho machinery in finance stopping manufacturing industries, lower ing tho market for produce, aud threate ing the very homes of farmers them :-elves. Here uro views of a country merchant. Su.s PBAiaiB, Wis., Oct. 14, 1873. Editors AtihcauJcec Journal of Com merce :?We havo at all times been told that the agricultural communities, which mean the farmers, are thegreat bulwark and backbone of the country. We willingly concede that it is true. In politics thoy say who shall rule and they send who they will to fill our halls of legislature, seals in congress, pre sidential and judicial ohairs ; and when they move in organized bodies, as they uow arc doing, they create an influence that intimidates and frightens our grout railroad kings. They say, thus fur have your land grabbing schemes, subsidies and theft of the public domain gone, but they shall go no farther. Wo do not suy they are wrong. So far, so good ! But let us look a little farther und sco what is tho duty of tho hour. Where ought we to look for the com mercial honor of our country 1 Most ussuredly in the backbone of our country. Wo look for it; do we find it whore, moro than any where else, wo ought to find it? What is i tho courso pursued by a largo majority ol our farming common ity? In tho spring the country merchant goes into tho market aud buys his stock of goods, fills up his Btorc ; aud Messrs. A., B., C, nod perhaps a hundred more of tho backbone of tho country, come aud make their purchnsei through the summer for themselves aud their fami lies, with* the distinct understanding thut when they get in their crops they will puy their accounts. Some of these farmers aro well olf?rieb ! worth four times us much as the man whose sugar, coffee, pork, tea, &o., thoy aro eating through tho season ! In tho full they harvest their bountiful crops. Their bins stacks aud barns groan with their well filled contents; aad tho poor country merchant who it may bo ia "hard up" to pay his creditor, und want ing to replenish his stock, meekly asks for bis money according to agreement, tu nine cases out of ten what answer does he get ? Here is whore the "com mercial honor" of tho backbone com es in. He ii told that wheat has gone off fire to ten cents and that till the prico advances the farmer will hold his wheat. Tho agreement to pay when ho "got off his wheat" meant when ho sold it, &o,; that he was able to pay interest, &c'.", and the mevchant must wait. As the poor merchant who owes in Milwaukee, Chicago, New York or Boston cannot sustain himself on his kind of commer ciul honor, he goes to protest, loses his ciedit, becomes a bankrupt, or near it, ai d all because ho is afraid of offending his backbone constituents by insisting on what is only his just due. We venture to say that of all our farmers, mechanics, manufacturers aud professional men, the least oommercial honor is to be found in the agricultural communities of the country. If you do not believe it ask almost any of the country merchants doing a credit busi ncss. Now, farmers of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, what is your duty? Are you so privileged and favored a class of community that all of the world outside of yourselves aro expected to be prompt in their dealings and honorable in their engagements, while you can flout to the winds every sentiment of integrity and fair dealing, because, forsooth, the price of wheat is not satisfactory and you arc able to hold your wheat, or can go to nuothcr store to buy ynur goods, beoauso the merchant needs what you owe him. Gcntlemcu, pay your debU! I'ay your country merchants! Give him the means to keep his credit good. Don't let him go to his bod night after night to toss on his pillow thinking where the "money is coming from the next few days to keep him from being drivcu to tho wull. Aye ! with your bins full of cash whaut, even ut a sacrifkc, pay vcur.. ,Ul>*-> ? I ay ror Waat you have eaten and arc wearing out. thut he owes for ! And then, gentlemen, you will have a right (and not till then) to stand up in your Granges and talk about elevating the position, socially, of tho agricultural community of our country. Yours, Country Merchant. This is what "Country Merchant" has to say to the farmers, and I hope farmers will read it aud heed it. Now I have a word or two to say to "Country Merchant." lie talks of "backbone. ' How much "backbone" has he ? Let us see. He says : As the poor merchant who owes in Milwaukee, Chicago, New York or Boston cannot sustain himself on this kind of commercial honor, he goes to protest, lo?os his credit becomes a bank rupt, or near it, all because he is afraid of offending his backbone constituents by insisting on what is only his just due. Right here is the trouble. The country merchaut is "afraid of offend ing" his farmer customer, so he lets him drag in his payments, while he goes whining to his creditor beonuso he can't collect what is due him. Does Country Merchant try to collect? Does he insist upon gotting what is his just duo, just when it is due? Docs he crowd Squire Corucrib, and tell him he must coiuc to tiuio or have the lawyers and the sheriff after him ? In short, does Country Merchant himself show the least particlo of "backbone" in his doal ings with his well-to do obstreperous farmer customer ? No, sir. Mr Country Merchant is ^afraid of offend ing." Ho begs and whines for pay from Squiro Cornciib, and goes on sell ing moro goods to that l.ono^t yooman who was never known to sell a bushel of wheat on a raising market because ho always expects it is going higher, and who never pays Country Merchant until ho gets ready. Whon absolute want and commercial dishonor stare him in tt'0 faco, Country Morohant perhaps whines so hard that Squiro Cornorib gets mad and says: "Woll if Smith don't want to trust me, Jonos will." What does Country Merchant do then ? lie Bits down und writes an eloquent plea to his oily croditor, placing all the blamo upon his farmor customers. I ?eil you, Mr. Editor, Country Morchan is just ns much to blamo for the bad bu8ino8s habits of tho farmor as tho far mor himself. The fannor never oxpects to pay his debt at a definite time brean->o ho has never been obliged to. Coun'ry Merchant assert his righta. Lot him Gght for thorn. Let him determine not te go to the wall booauao tho former customer who is richer than ho won't pay his just due.".. Let him not bo "afraid of offending." Let Jura, inform. Squire Corncrib that he shall not get another yard oi" goods or a gallon of kero?cno on arc lit until ho squares his old account. Let him tell Squiro Corn crib to go to JoT/es, or any other place, to do his trading until ho can walk up and pay his little bills like a rcspoctable business man. f Let him place his ac count, if need be/ in tho hands of young Law Calf. [ If Squire Cornorib is the man wc take him to be, be "-?l rcBpcct and honor a creditor who adopts a manly course like this. The farn?r is, altor all, to some extent a ratiouf.il being. Ho is not much woree, if| not mueh better, than tho rost of uiunk^d. Ho will bully and despise his creditor if his creditor will let him, and h^- will respect him if he won't. Th? farmer is slow and irregular and business likoiubout paying bis debts, becauso he has/never boon taught any better. It is thofbusiuos3 of the country mcrcbnnt to tn^'.oh him that a debt is a debt, and tha* it must be paid when payracut was premised, whether wheat is two dollars or a dollar five. Tho country merchant is, in my opinion, the man who stands, most in ricsd of "back bone.'' Yours Re.<jpectfullj, City Merc ant. Milwaukee, Oct., 30. Rules for U e Care of Sheep.

A mechanic tolls an interesting story of how he was induced to take a news paper, aud what came of it, aa fol lows: Ton years ago I lived iu a town in Indiana. Un returning home one night ?for I am a cur peutcr by trade?I saw a littlo girl leave my door and I asked my wife who she was. She said Mrs. Harris had sent after their newspaper, which my wife had borrowed. As we sat dowu to ton my wife said to me: "I wish you would subscribe for the newswapcr; it is so much comfort to me when you are away from home/ "I would like to do so,' said I, "but you know I owe a payment on the house and lot. It will be all I can do to meet it.' She replied : "If you take this pa per I will sew for tho tailor to pay for it.' S? ' I subscribed for the paper; it came in due time to tho simp.

If 1 had not subscribed for tho newspaper I should nut have known anything about the contract, and could not have met my payment on my house and lot A mechanic never loses any tiling by taking a now.spnpcr. German Domesticity. "The simplicity of domestic life iu Germany," says a writer, "has not been overstated. My respect for the 'staff of lilo' has wonderfully increased since the introduction, for, with a bread and butter diet from morning till night, I find myself at the end of each meal looking forward with avidity to the next. To hear over bountiful American tables of the five daily Gorman meals is somewhat satiating, but when one gets here he finds it is not a question of times of outing, but how to get enough every time. And so to dyspcplice and cloyed American appetites \ say, Throw away your drugs and tonics and tuku the first .steamer to Germany. Tho intellectual longings for n mastery of tho language will bo quenched in tho moro im per a tivo cravings of a lower order of nature. Hut with this simple faro, which seems sometimes hardly a fair exchange for your generous supply of thalers, you are troatcd to a good deal of affection, introduced to all tho relations of the family, and at the end of a few weeks you find yourself with quite an extcn sivc circle of acquaintances.' Manners. Manners aro more important than money. A boy who is polite and pleas ant in his manners will always have friends, and will not often, make enemies Good behaviour is essential to prosperi ty. A boy fouls woll when ho does well. If you wish to mako ovorybody pleasant about you, and gain friends wherever you go, cultivato good man ners. Many boys hnvo pleasant man ners for company, aud ugly inannors for home. Wo visited a small railroad to^n, not long since, and were met at tho depot by a little boy of about oloven or twelve yeurs, who conducted us to tho houso of his mother, and entcrtaiuod nud cared for us, in tho absence of his father, with us much polito attention and thoughtful care, as the most cultivated gentleman could have do no. Wq said this to his molker wben wo loft h?r homo. "You uro groatly blessed in your sob, ho is so attentive and obligiug." "Yes," sho said, "I can always depend on Charley when his lather is absent. He is a groat holp and .oomfort to mo." She said this as it did her heart good to acknowledge tho cleverness of bcr son. The best manuers cost so little, and are worth so much, that every boy can have them. Tho Wanderer's Prayer. Oh a cold, dreary evening in autumn, a small bey, poorly clad, yet cleanly and tidy, with a pack upon bis back, knock ed at the door of an old Quaker in the town of S-. "Was Mr. Lanmen at home?-' "Ycb." Tho boy wished to see him, and he wns speedily ushered into the host's presenco. Friend Laninan was ono of tho wealthiest men iu tho County, and President of tho L-Valley Railroad. The boy had come to see if he could obtain a situation on the road lie suid he was an orphan?his mothor had been dead only two months, and bo was now a homeless wanderer. Rut tho lad was too small for the filling of any placo within the Quaker's gift and bo was forced to deny him. Still he lsked the looks of the boy and said to him : ''Thee may stop iu my house to night and on the iiorrow I will give thee the name of two or three men in Philadcl pbia, to whom thee may apply with as surance of kind reception, at least. I am sorry I havo no employment lor thee." Later iu the evening the old Quaker wcut the rounds of his spacious mansiou, lantern in hand, as was his wont, to seo that all was safe, before retiring for the uight. As he passed the door of tho little chamber where tho poor wandering orphan hud been plnccd to sleep, he heard a voice. He stoppe? and listened and distinguished tbc tones of a simple, earnest prayer. He ?bent his ear nearer, and heard theso words from tho boys lips: "0, Good Father in Heaven! help me to help myself. Watch over me as I watch over my conduct; and care for mo us deeds shall merit! Bloss the good man iu whose house T am sheltered, and spare him long, that he may con tinue his bounty to other suffering and needy ones. Amk.n! And the Quaker responded another A men as he moved on ; and as he went his way ho meditated. The boy had a truo idea of the duties of life, aud pos scssed a warm, grateful heart. "Iveri ly believe the lad wil4 bo a treasure to bis employer 1" was his concluding rofleo tion. When tho morning came, tbo old Quaker had changed his mind oonccrn ing his answer to the boy's application. "Who learned theo how to pray ?" asked Friend L. "My mother, sir," was the soft reply. Aud the rich brown eyes grow moist. "And thee will uot forget thy mother's couusels V,.1 "I cannot, for I know that my success in lifo is dependent upou thoui," (,My boy thee may stay hero In my house ; and very soon 1 will tako thee to my office. Go now and get thy break fast." Friend L. was gathered to the spirit harvest shortly alter tho breaking out of the lato war; but he lived to see the poor boy he had adopted ris-i, step by step, until he finally assumed the ro spinsiblo office which t he failing guar dian could no longer hold. Aud to day there iB no man more honored and re spectod by hin friends, and none more feared by gumblcrs aud evilminded speculators in irresponsible stock, than is the onco poor Wunderer?now presi dent of ono of the best managed and mo>t productive Railways in the United States. Tub Story of a Tramp.?The Troy Whig of o recent morning tolls the fol lowing story : "A great number of por tons who aro known as ' tramps" aro at present wandering about the city. A part of these aro undoubtedly scoking employment, whilo othors aro vagrants from prcferouce and habit. On Monday aftornoon ono of theso wanderers accosted a Whig.-, representative on First street, and said : "Can you tell a follow where he can get work V Receiving a nega tive reply, the miserable man related his woes ns follows: "Stranger, I do not want to go to tho poor house, but I at afraid there is no help for it. X havo traveled every atop of tho way from Utica, and asked for work at every town, nud of eery person, and boggod my lodging and my food. I kept up my courage, for I had heard tbat Trojr^as a large manufacturing'placo; and I Was sure, air, that I could get Eoinething to do so that I could earn an honest living.
