THE MONEYLESS MA>\
Ia there no secret place on the face of the
earth,
Where charity dwellcth, where virtue hath
birth;
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness will
heave,
Aud the poor and the wretched shall ask
and receive ?
Is then* no place where u knock from the
poor
Will bring a kind angel to open the door?
Ah! search this wide world wherever you
can,
There is no open door for the moneyless
man.
Go look in von hall, where the chandelier's
light
Drives olf with its splendor the darkness of
night;
Where the rich hanging velvet in shadowy
fold
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimming
of gold;
And the mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long-lighted vistas the wildering view;
Go there in your patches, and find, if you
can,
A welcoming smile for the moneyless man.
Go look in yon church, Avith its cloud-reach?
ing spire,
Which gives back to the sun his same look
of red lire;
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous
within,
And the walls seem as pure as a soul with?
out sin:
Walk down the aisle, see the. rich arid the
great,'
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly
estate;
Walk down in your patches, and find, if
you can, * ,
Who opens, a pew to the moneyless man.
Go to the Judge, in his dark flowing gown,
With the scales, wherein law weigheth equi?
ty down,
Where he frowns on the weak, and smiles
on the strong,
And punishes right while he justifies wrong;
Where;3uTies;their Bps- orrthe' Bible have
lnid*^*--* ~* *
To render a verdict they've already made;
Go there in the court-room, and find, if you
can,
Any law for the cause of a moneyless man.
Go to the banks, where mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and
gold,
Where safe from the hands of the starving
. poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glitteringx>ro ?
Walk up to the counter, an! there you.may
stay
"Till your limbs grow old and your hairs
turn grey ;
And, you'll find at the banks, not one of
the clan
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Then go to your hovel, no raven has fed
The wife who has siuTered too long for her
bread ;
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death
frost
From tbelipsof the angel your poverty loiit:
Then turn m your agony upward to God,
And bless, while it smites you, the chasten?
ing rod,
And you'll find at the end of life's little spaa,
There's a welcome above for the moneyless
man.
Farm Lifo vs. City Life.
There is a good deal of complaint
among farmers of hard times and scarcity
of greenbacks, and many seem to think
that agriculturists, as a class, are excep?
tionally poverty stricken. Greenbacks
are scarcethe*conrrtry,' and the far?
mers are not so well to d? as they ought
to be, and might be, but we suspect that
if they co?ld change places with the
dwellers in cities and towns for a short
time, they would go back to the farm
wiser and more contented. As the agri?
cultural editor of the New York Times
says, "one cause of complaint among far?
mers is the small amount in money they
are able to obtain from the sale of the
products of their labor; in other words,
the amount of cash they have the pleasure
of handling during the year. They fre?
quently point to the mechanics of our
cities, or even the clerks in stores and
various offices, whose salaries appear to
be entirely out of proportion to the work
performed or talents required, as proof of
unjust discrimination made in remune?
rating labor. A ca?ual glance at the
prices paid for labor in cities and in coun?
try would certainly lead one to believe
that the former was really unnecessarily
high, or the latter ridiculously low. It is
this seeming difference which makes so
many young men and women in the
country strive to get into the .cities; it
also makes their parents feel that they,
too, are cheated out of their rights in
selling the products .of their farms at less
than tity'retail prices, - There ore, how?
ever, two sides to this question, and it is
well not to decide hastily in regard to
which is the most favorable without
knowing something of both.
If wages are higher in cities than in
the country, the cost of living is in pro?
portion, and there is no way of escaping
it. It may sound very well for a carpen?
ter or mason to receive four dollars per
day, but if he has to pay two of it for
house rent, he is no better off than
the country mechanic who receives only
three dollars and pays one for an equally
good, and perhaps a better, house. Then,
again, where rents are high other neces?
saries of life are usually in proportion;
consequently it is not the amount of
money a man receives for his labor, but
what ho can save, which brings him a
competency. Now, if we take the mass
of trades people, mechanics and other la
. "borers of our cities, and the poorer class
of farmers, and inquire minutely into the
circumstances of each, the latter will be
found far the more independent of the
two. A farmer who can actually save
one or two hundred dollars per annum,
after providing for the support of his
family, is doing better than nine-tenths
of the residents of our cities who have on
income of from three to five thousand
dollars per annum.. Then, again, a far?
mer who. w?rks upon bis own land is con?
stantly accumulating wealth, even if he
cannot show a balance in casli at the end
of the vear, because every tree planted,
ditch dug, fence built, or field cleared,
enhances the value of his real estate.
These are so much capital laid aside for
the future, which, if rightfully managed,
will bring as good interest as though in?
vested in Government bonds.
We have only to take the proportions
of men in both city and country who are
really in independent circumstances, that
is, capable of supporting themselves and
families without fear of wont staring them
in the face, should anything happen to
prevent them from laboring or attending
to business, in order to see now much su?
perior farming is to other ordinary occu?
pations. It is not a pursuit provocative
of riotous living, but one that is safe from
disastrous fluctuations, caused by panics
in monetary affairs. It is said that about
five per cent, of those who attempt busi?
ness in cities succeed; but it is doubtful
if there are five farmers in a hundred
who fail to make a good living, provided
they are intelligent and industrious.
The editor of the Times had in view
the condition of the farmers of the North,
and hi9 remarks are true, even when ap?
plied to them. Ours is a far better farm
. ing country than that in which the
Northern farmer labors, and our agricul?
turists handle more money than those of
the North. If they are in worse circum?
stances, pecuniarily, it is because they
spend more, rather than because they
make less.?Rural Carolinian.
? A correspondent sends tho follow?
ing reminiscence: When Congressman
Lamar was returning home at the close
of -the session of Congress in 1860, a
newsboy on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad insisted that he should purchase
a book he repeatedly offered hira. An?
noyed by his pertinacity and anxious to
be rid of him, Mr. Lamar said to him,
with a wave of his hand, "Oh, psha.w!
don't bother me so. I wrote the book."
Quick as thought the little fellow an?
swered, "Ah! now I know. That's
what makes it so darned hard to sell," I
Farm Management,
Our beneficent Maker has not stricken
the land with sterility. He but requires
of as the use of the means he has placed
at our disposal. The proper application
of these means is illustrated in every land
where agricultural prosperity prevailn.
If we read the lesson aright, it wouli
teach us, among other things, the actur.l
necessity of limiting our cultivation to
the area upon which we can do thorough
work ; of keeping, to the full capacity of
I our farms, improved stock of all kinds ;
of increasing the quantity and quality of
home-made manures by fair feeding and
precautions against their waste; and of
making profit from the manure machine?
ry by th 3 sale of beef, butter, mutton and
wool.
Are none of these things possible to
us? The heaviest cost we annually en?
counter, except in the gratification of our
personal tastes and habits, is the pay and
maintenance of laborers. Can we not
reduce this number, and limit our culti?
vation to the surface which it is possible,
in some way, to manure? If your pres?
ent corn-field of forty acres produces two
barrels to the acre, can you not, by con?
centrating your efforts on one-half of that
surface?by green manures, thorough and
timely culture?greatly increase theyield
and sensibly diminish the cost of produc?
tion?' And will not this rule apply as
well to ail the crops jou cultivate?
.It is believed these questions can be
answered in the affirmative. The mat?
ters involved in them are of vital impor?
tance, and our necessities demaud imme?
diate action in the direction in which
they point. let the farmer who has sat?
isfied himself that bis occupation, as now
conducted, is profitless, prepare for a
''new departure." Let him begin the
use of green manures, as the readiest and
cheapest revenue at command?repeat?
ing, if necessary, upon the surface. And
sbouicT be obtain from them the profit
thej elsewhere afford, let him not, after
the oi l Virginia custom, in such cases
made md provided, forthwith abandon
their use 1 He is poor, but he has a few
cows. Let him contrive to feed and
shelter them well during the coming
.winter, and, at the proper season, procure
them access to a thoroughbred bull. By
continuing such care and management
for a few years, at the end of them he
will have an improved herd, from which
profit can be derived. Meanwhile, let
him make good use of the improved ma?
nure which he will find to be at once ac?
cumulating. It is not probable that he
has a sheep. Let him contrive to procure
six, if no more, and, if it be possible,
breed them to a thoroughbred ram.?
Keep all the ewe lambs, and begin to
feed the. flock sparingly in early winter,
?and their digestive Organs maybe able
to manage the full feeding hard weather
will require. In a abort time he will
have as many, sheep as he should have.
Then, with a full herd and flock of im?
proved an i m a Is, the further exercise of
energy and common sense will greatly
advance his position and prospects.?
They will not probably make afortnnefor
him, but will materially assist in secur?
ing bread, meat, and a home for his fam?
ily. These blessings he now holds by a
tenure which cannot even be called pre?
carious. His efforts at rising out of his
hereditary agricultural ruts will be great?
ly aided by the regular reading of one or
more of the agricultural periodicals of
the day. Without believing everything
he rinds in them, be can yet see what is
elsewhere accomplished by the use of the
means which lie in his own reach.? Cor.
Southern Planter and Farmer.
The Higheb Aim in Farming.?The
higher aim of every intelligent tiller of
the soil should be the improvement of
the productiveness of bis land, until it
reaches the point where maximum crops
are produced at the least expense. Wise
husbandry regards the farm simply as a
machine for turning cut crops. The ma?
chine is the matter of first importance.
This is always to be kept in good Pin?
ning order, and its efficiency is to be in?
creased by all economical methods. The
man who farms upon this system will
never sacrifice soil for a great crop. His
aim is to have crop found it. He aims
in every working of the soil to increase
its depth and to add to it more elements
of fertility than he removes in the crops,
and to make the crops not only pay for
themselves, but to pay for the improve?
ment of the acres upon which they are
grown. In carrying out this aim so as
to realize these results, a man shows his
skill as a cultivator. It is a compara?
tively easy thing, for any one who has
money, to improve the soil so that it
shall produce crops paying for the labor
of growing them and the interest on $200
or $300 an acre. Stable manure, enough,
well plowed in, will do this. But it is
altogether another matter to make this
improvement pay for itself. Yet it ib a
possible thing to do this, and there are
farmers skillful enough to accomplish
this result, and this we hold to be the
true aim in the cultivation of the soil.
The most judicious improvements are
those which finally pay the largest pro?
fits, requiring several years to bring in
their full returns. It is a matter of great
importance that our farming population
should not be only settled, but that they
should feel settled, and plan all their
operations upon the farm as if they ex?
pected to spend their days upon it.?

The Church Must Preach Against
Stealing.?"Thou shall not steal" seems
to be the troublesome part of the deca?
logue for a large proportion of our peo?
ple and the offences against this com?
mandment seem to be acquiring that semi -
tolerant reception which, in a mors
marked way, attends unchastity in the
Latin nations. This is a tendency, only
a tendency to be resisted, resistance to
which is one of the important duties of
the American pulpit. The Indian is
robbed; the cities are robbed; the na?
tional government is robbed. There is a
startling statement ascribed to official au?
thority that it would cost $75,000 to pre?
pare a list of official defalcations and
shortages within the last seven years.
There is something staggering in th?3
statement. We have altogether too many
well-behaved thieves, thieva.- in honest
clothes, and under Christian professions.
Our thought is that the public education
needs to be attended to. Morals should
be given prominence in the education of
the young, prominence in the instruction
given by the pulpit and the press. Wo
must also learn how to condemn effect?
ively the dishonest man, how to taboo
him with the relentless severity which we
visit upon offenders against chastity.
Upon the churches must fall the greater
share of the fcisk of resisting this ten?
dency and preventing its passing on into
cofirmed habit.?The Methodist.
A Life-Saving Invention.?To pre?
vent the accidents to which railroad!
trains are liable from one car jumping
the track, the plan has been devised of
applying to care a kind of shoe, consist?
ing of a clamp-like arrangement, which
is placed between the wheels of each
truck. Thi* runs about two inches from
the rail, and if anything happens tend?
ing to throw thexwheels from the track,
the clamp at once grasps the rails, holds
the car on the track, and brings the train
to a speedy halt. Such a shoe will, it is
claimed, prove a great saving of railroad
rolling stock, and add considerably to the
strength of the track, it being construc?
ted of iron and weighing some 500
pounds. It is claimed that experiments
made with cars provided with this device
show that the arrangement accomplishes
very effectively the object in view.
? Rooms can't be made to ventilate
themselves, any more than they can be
made to warm themselves, When peo?
ple learn that it cost something _ to get
pure air into a house, jnst as it costs
something to warm the house, thero will
be no trouble about ventilation,
The Minimum Christian.?The
minimum Christian! And who is he?
The Christian who is going to heaven
at the cheapest rate possible. The Chris?
tian who intends to get all of the world
he can, and not meet the wordings'
doom. The Christian who aims to have
as little religion as he may without lack?
ing it altogether.
The minimum Christian goen to church
in the morning ? and in the afternoon
also, unless it rains, or it is too warm, or
too cold, or he ia sleepy, or has the head?
ache from eating too much at dinner.?
He listens most respectfully to the preach?
er and joins in prayer and praise. He
applies the truth very judiciously, some?
times to himself, oftener to his neigh?
bors.
? The minimum Christian is very friend?
ly to all good works. He wishes them
well, but it is not in his powerte do much
for them. The Sabbath school he looks
upon as an admirable institution, espe?
cially for the neglected and ignorant. It
is not convenient, however, for him to
take a class. His business engagements
are so pressing during the week that he
needs the Sabbath as a day of rest; nor
does he think himself qualified to act as a
teacher. There are so many persons bet?
ter prepared for this important duty,
that he must beg to be excused. He is
very friendly to home and foreign mis?
sions, and colportage, and gives his mite.
He thinks there are "too many appeals;"
but he gives, if not enough to savenis rep?
utation, pretty near it; at all events, he
aims at it.
The minimum Christian is not clear on
a number of points, The opera and dan?
cing, the theatre and card playing, and
large fashionable parties, give him much
trouble. He cannot see the harm in this,
or that, or the other popular amuse?
ment. There is nothing in the Bible
against it. He does not see but that a
man may be a Christian, and dance or go
to the opera. He knows several excel?
lent persons who do. Why should not bf'l
He stands so close to the dividing lino
between the people of God and the peo?
ple of the world, that it is hard to say
on which side of it he is actually to be
found.
Ah, my brother, are you making this
attempt ? Beware, lent you find at last
that in trying to get to heaven with a lit?
tle religion, you miss it altogether; lest,
without gaining the whole world, you.
lose your own soul.
A Struggle for Appearance.?A.
St. Lou in paper relates an instance of the
pride of a child who struggled to keep up
appearances in a way that was touching
to witness. The hopelessness of the en?
deavor was made painfully manifest by
the well meant action of her teacher, anel
the facts are these:
Just before the close of" the last session
of the public schools in that city, an in-'
cident took place which, as an illustra ?
tion, is more than touching. At one 0/
tho schools, numbers of the pupils were
in the habit of bringing a luncheon with
them, which at noon they ate together.
Among those whq^ did not go home for
dinner, the teacher in a particular room
no :iced a little girl who always sat look?
ing wistfully at her playmates when
they went out with th jir luncheon, but
who never brought any herself. \
The child was always neatly but very
poorly clad, and one of the closest stu?
dents in school hours. This odd action
of the child's lasted for some time, when
one day the teacher noticed that the lit?
tle thing had apparently brought her din?
ner with her. The noon hour came, and
the children took their lunch as usual and
went out to eat it, the little girl referred
to alone remaining in the room, with her
dinner wrapped up in the paper on the
desk before her. The teacher advanced
to the child and ask her why she didn't
go out with the rest, at the same time put?
ting out her hand toward the package on j
the desk. Quick as thought the little j
girl clasped her hands over it and ex
claimed sobbing :
"Don't touch it, teacher, and don't tell, !
please! It's only blocks!" And that was j
the fact. Having no dinner to bring,
and too proud to reveal the poverty of
her family, the child had carefully
wrapped up a number of small blocks in
paper and brought the package to present
the appearance of a lunch I It was noth?
ing ; a mere ridiculous incident in school I
life'; but it was sufficient to make wiser
and older hearts than hers sad.
A King's Example.?"The gentleman
king of England" had a plain country
squire to dine with him, one day. When
game was put on the table, and the squire
got a snipe on his plate, he took it by
the legs and began to twist them off in
his>rougb, homely style. The attendants
were horrified. The king saw it, and
knew that if the squire should glance up
and see their looks he would know that
he was doing Bometbirjg dreadful, and be
covered with confusion; whereupon the
king took his own snipe by the legs and
began twisting them off, just at the squire
was doing. What a fine case of the
usual form of politeness withdrawing be?
hind the principle which seeks to protect
the feeling of others!

DEALER IN FERTILIZERS.
Charleston, S. C, November 1, l.s7.">.
HAVING been engaged for twenty years
in the Guano Trade with eminent success, I
deemed it advisable to introduce Fertilizers
under my own name and guarantee. I have
made arrangements to have prepared a Guano
under my inspection and control, called
ROBSON*! COTTON AND CORN FER?
TILIZER. This Guano is of the highest
standard. It contains, among other valuable
ingredients, three percent, of Ammonia, one
and a half per cent, of Potash, and fourteen
per cent, of Available Phosphate. ilso
nave prepared for me a COMPf 'D
ACID PHOSPHATE of the highest stan?
dard. These Fertilizers are compounded of
the purest materials, and arc manipulated
and tested under the supervision Dr. St. J.
Ravencl, of this city whose name gives a
warrant for their high character and adapta?
tion for our soil. I offer these Fertilizers to
Planters on the following favorable terms:
Robson's Cotton and Corn Fertilizer,
Cash $44 per ton ; on time, $50.
Robson's Compound Acid Phosphate,
Cash, $28 per ton; on time, $33.
Planters ordering immediately will be al?
lowed to the first of April to decide which
they prefer, cash or time. An order for a
car load of eight tons will he sent free of
dravagc; but for a lass amount $1 per ton
will be charged. On orders for large lots
from Grangers or dealers, a liberal discount
will be allowed.
I take this occasion to return my thanks
to those who have so largely patronized the
Fertilizers hitherto ottered by me, and in so?
liciting their favorable attention to another,
I pledge my best efTorts to meet a continu?
ance of confidence by keeping the highest
standard of Fertilizers adapted to cotton and
corn.
