THE H?HEST DEACON.
An honest roan was Deacon Ray,
And though a Christian good.
lit had one fault-the love of drhih,
For drink he often would.
On almost every Sunday, tx- o,
He would, at dinner time,
Indulge to quite a great e-tent
In good Madeira wine.
At ch urd?, in front, upon tho side
The dcaeca hrd his pew,
Anodter worthy, Squire Loe,
He had a seat there too
: ?c i ' - ;i t if
One Suuday mom, the sermon done,
The parson said he'd talk.
In language plain, that afternoon,
Of sins within his flock.
He warned them that they must not flinch',
If he should bessven; * . . ?w? ?
Kach thought Aieir .nelghbor'd get dressed
down, ? i
So ali turned out io hear.
The church at early hour was full ;
Tl?e deacon, some behind,
Came in quite late, ?er bs hod Inca
Indulging in his wine.
And up the long and good broad aisle
Ho stiffly tottered on,
Aud by the time he'd readied his seat
The sermon had begun.
Thc parson of transgressors ?i?oke,
Ar-d of the wrath to flee,
Anu soon he to this query came,
"The drunkard, where ia he?"
A pause-and then thc deacon rose,
And answered like a mau,
Though with a hiccup in his voice :
"Here, parson-hie-ere I am."
Of cou rue the consternation
Waa great on every sido
For who'd hayo thought the deacon
Would thus aptly have replied !
Tho preacher, not tho least disturbed,
With his remarks kept on,
And warned him to forsake his ways.
The ?'jeacon then set down.
'TWAS soon another question came,
With no more welcome sound,
"Where ia tho wicked hypocrite?"
This'made them all look round.
Muir.) looked at thia one, some at that,
AH if Uiey would inquire
Who 'twas that now the parson tumut ;
His eyes were on the squire.
The deacon, noting bow things stood,
Turned round and spoke to Leo :
"Come, squiro-hie-come you get up,
I did when he called me."

THE MISSING BRIDEGROOM.
Of Paul Winchester nothing had ever
been heard since his disappearance on
tho dar ' Bet for the wedding. It waa
perfectly r.uro that ho had lett Concord
on the ill-fated train the night set for bia
wedding, but after the accident there
. was no ter.co of bim.
Hi?.diary, left behind at bia boarding
house, contained ailasiona to bia inten
tion of going to Asbloy nt eight; and a
letter'written to a friend, just aa be was
on tho point of setting oat, still more
strongly corroborated tho testimony of
his landlady and tho railway conductor.
Most peoplo believed him dcr.d-,
drowned'on' Mi? night of the accident;
nod if Maurie over indulged a fond doubt
that he wu still with the living, the cold
reality woe d start up grim and stern
before her, ?.nd she would put the illu
sion oat of her mind.'
Admirara without number flocked to
the feet of Mande Ashley. The roman
tic mystery attaching to her intended
marriage gave a new charm to her
beauty, and the quiet sadness of her
eyes wfes more fascinating than the scin
tillant brilliancy that had dwelt there
before tho sorrow came.
In March, the intense cold weather
froze up the lakes and rivera, und all
Ashley turned out on skates, Maude
among the rest.
She never looked better than aha did
that cold,' clear, frosty day, in her robes
of vivid scarlet, trimmed with soft, white
fur, and the dainty cap of block velvet,
with its saowy leather sweeping down
and mingling with tho floating gold und
brown other bair.
The company drew a little away from
her ; she bad distanced them all, and
they stood looking ott sith envy and ad
miration. One gentleman alone refused
io yield tho palm.
Howard Wheatcliff -was a atranger In
tho place-tho travelling partner of a
beary importing firm in Philadelphia
detained nt Ashley by unexpected busi
ness, and invited to join the skaters by,
the landlord's son. |
Wheatcliff, little aud sinewy, kept
pace with/. Miss Ashley. She saw bis
Siuiet persistence, and redoubled her of
orta to leave him behind.
Both did. bravely. The keen air
whistled round thain sharp and biiiug
the ice fairly shrieked beneath the ve
locity of their movements, and. excited
by tho mad race, neither noticed how;
very near they were c.Jiing to Thunder
Falle.
The spectators saw the danger--they
shouted frantically:-throw np their
hands And struck out after them, but
Maude was oblivious to everything : and
if Wheatcliff recognized the peril, he
swept straight on toward it.
A few flashes more-one bold stroke
Wheatcliff shot past her. and jost as her
unconscious feet touched tho water, he
flung his arm around her and drew her
Looking np into the pale face bending?
over her, Maude reallied: something of
tho dango? from whick ~-? had escaped.

to his dusky cheek-his whole ROUI sur

charlatanry among the ftelf-atyled scien

of all other professiona or branches of

that does uot invalidate the claims of the

The idea appears to have got abroad
that science in fanning means ch icily the

Tbc art of farming needs fresh supplies
of youthful blood, warmed with energy,
und hope, and ambition, to rejuvenate its
customs, traditions, and ancient methods.
As men grow old. tr ;y are little inclined
to experiineut, to try nev. r-things, or to
change their habita ;" ifTthey have buen !
successful, they decline any 'addition to|
their routiue knowledge ; if unsuccessful,
tboy put in a plea of "too old to learn."
Farming, aa. a trade or manufacture, is
largely in tho hands of men advanced in
life, aud, as a whole, is more stationary
than any other branch of business. If,
by some combination, thc experience, i
(irudence and caution of the father coala \
ie united with the ambition, push and
activity of thc son, a decided advance
might be expected in farming. The host
talent of the 'un i ly seldom st?ys et) tho
farm ; youth receives no encouragement;
tho bovis classed with tho hired help;
he finds nothing for his brain to feed
upon, nothing to arouse his pride, noth
ing to fire his inventive genius, nothing
to satisfy his longing desire to step up
higher; hence he early ?eeks a honie ir*-j
some city or manufacturing vilisgit,.
where the demand for bruins is more prp
uouueed, and where tho prizes of life arc
distributed in open competition. Soon
the boy, whoso father, but a fi:w years
before, doubted his busioess cupa/ Uy inj
even seiiiag r* yeaning io the viiingu
butcher, stands at the head of some met-1
caotllo house whoso wc. Vly sales are
thousands. How that b >y'j financial
shrewdness and business was needed on
the farm ho left ! The youngster, whoso I
budding intellect was nfppedbr the chili j
frost ot parental sternness nnd indiffer
ence, is beard from in after life as the
eminent lawyer. Hi-, lound rinse, rea
soning power and keen percept ms Aere
sadly needed on tho' homo fa.m. Tho
lad who pleaded in vain to be allowed to
lay out a stone wall, a culvert or a lane
unwillingly turns his back on the sceucs,
of childhood, yet tho near future^ lays
the world tribute to his scie '.tifie skill in*
suspension bridge or nnucduct. How
easily this engineer could double the
value of thu ancestral acres by drainage
mid proper construction of roads and
buildings.
Farmers, think of this : the very boy?
you arc rearing to-day, driven from home,
wiil fill thc highest places in the gift of
commerce, art, m tiuifactur?. .iud legisla
tion. Why should tho farm see this
talent depart? ?hy rob itself of their
needed brains ? ! If these, your descend
ants, can give impulse to trade, inven
tion to mechanics, eloquence to the
forum, why not induce such ability to
remain with you ? why not encourage
such talent to lift the cultivation of tbe
soil into tho front rank, to select with
busioess sagacity the profitable branches
of CT.'ture. to conduct with merchant.-)'
shrewdness the buying and selling of
tools, and seeds nnd products ? r ?
If commerce or manufactures make!
loud calls fer your boys, make louder
calls yourself. Give the boys a chance
at homo, encourage them, stimulate
them; give them a piece of ground to
cultivate as their own, give them cattle
to roar ; surround them with such booki
and papers as your means afford ; permit
them to make inexpensive experiments ;
treat them as equals, as young men of |
brains;- of perceptive* faculties; give
tljem a little authority, a Jittle power ;
talk molters over witl?ihemT^ahsuj\WUh
them, try their'??pnctiyrpui "confidence
in them. Encourage the village lyceum,
the farmers' club ; take the boys along ;
let them try a little new seed, a little
(loultry ; let them raise a few 'early
ambs j introduce any culture tho success
of which depends on their penonal at
tention to detail ; make the boys inter
ested, thoughtful, anxious to excel.
Don't kill thom with drudgery ; brains
are worth more than stone walls, knowl
edge is moro powrful than iron bars,
study is moro potent than physical forco.
Make home- plctts??i? to ilium, encourage j
Mocial gatherings of young folks, promote |
sociability, company; amusement**; varie
ty of occupatlou. '* Tfidse 'Are '?inoug the
city's attractions, and the cause of the
migration is apparent. Adopt the reme
dy, keep the boys on the farm ; if more
business is wanted, supply it in increased
and improved culture.
The writer of the above article, which*
appears in tho American Cultivator, is
evidently a person of considerable expe
rience, and good sense. Hut when he
says: - "the-very boys you aro rearing
to-day, driven from home, will fill thc
highest places" in the gift of commerc?,

true in rare instances, is altogether tool

Feed the Land More and Exhaust it
Less.
Every intelligent farmer is aware that
ono acre of land, well fed, or manured,
with thc ingredients required, by the
glowing crop, and well cultivated, will
produce moro than four acres, manured
und tilled as is a majority of the lands in
Virginia and other Southern States.
Thirty-five and forty bushels of grain to
the acre ' is uot an unusual yield in
England, where ..7eryth!sg that can be
uncu for manure is applied. The sewer
age of their cities, guano from the Pacific
Islands, bones from America, and potash
from the European continent, night soil
from their own country, and nitro from
JIJIII ., ICU ?CO IIUIU UIU lOreSt) i-14VI luuva.
from their sv...mps. all are drawn upon,
aud none protest tuc draft. The conse
quence is, tho earth pays more than ten
per cent, interest; while in our country,
with n.anure all around us, much of our
land is bankrupt, and much of it will not
pay the investment, laying interest and
profit entiiely out of thc question.
Did our farmers manure and cultivate
aa do the farmers of England, our broad
fields would scarce!; ocar up tho golden
harvests, and our Southern land would
become the granary of the world. In
stead of a compatHiivcly small yield to
the acre, os now, we would navo an
abundant one : and instead of the poor,
sickly grains that now coo often are the
award of our present cultivation, we
would have thc large, plump grain, and
healthy, vigorous plants, that would defy
tho attacks of insect enemies and fungoid
diseases.
Our farmers would understand that
poor land will produce poor, sickly pro
ducts, and that sickly products, like sick
ly animals, invite the attachs of ,.arasites
that will draw out of them the little
vitality that remains. He must return
to the soil, in manuring equivalent for
what'he takes from it, and unless an
equivalent is returned his farm will be
come ns sterile as the sands of "the East
ern shore." Indeed, many farmers have
yet to learn that manure is just os es
sential for tho maintenance of the life of
the farm as food is for the sustenance of
the body : that to tolerate wanton waste
? fulness ot manure diminishes the quanti
ty of plain food ; and that an injudicious
application of it-has a tendency to grad
ually diminish tho fertility of the farm
soil, and a corresponding diminution in
the quantity of the crops necessarily fol
lows. He who has learned a valuable
lesson, and the success in farming gener
ally corresponds with tho amount of
knowledge a person has of thia matter
and the degree of importance he attaches
to it.
