I A Word to Farmers. . * j ^ l X ? :' . v . It iu generally thought that far mers are an independent sort of p?ople, and fully able to take caro of themselves; but,"in truth, they are as liable to be deceived and imposed upon as other peoplo. The State prees sometimes drops politics for tho moment, and deigns to givo.the far mer some good advice, which thoy do not always profit by. Fanners may think they ' know more hbout their own business than editois, but in this they may sometimes bo mistaken. AVe cannot always see ourselves and our blunders as others do, and wo ehou'd give even those who may know less, than we do a patient bearing. It is thought by some that the weak ness and misfortunes of tbe farmers grow, out of tbe wont < f proper organization and political depend ence. They often play into the hands of those who would wrong them by uniting against themselves. They cither throw away their votes or iill tiro halls of legislation with lawyers, land agents* nnd loancrs. They sel ect young nnd inexperienced men who think it a feather in their c:?p to be the youngest member in the House. The solid men?men of experience nnd discretion, are often Lnored or elburwed .out to gjve place to cheek nnd'jbrass. Men of this character seek position for their own g>>od> and not for the good of the ?tato. The farmer is not consulting his own interest when he is voting such meu into power. Take the popula tion at large, and you will dud one hundred farmers to one lawyer, land agent or money loaner; and yet ten of tho latter class will be elected to ojie farmer. And yet, after being guilty of this weakness and lolly, the farmers continue to complain and growl about hard times. How can they expect anything eise, as long as they ignore their own interests as they do? The politicians and sharpers arc now drilling their fotccs to carry the day at tho next election, aud they will do it because there is no organ ized opposition to battle with them for the right. We believe in giving every man a chance, and having all our mechanical and agricultural interests represented iu tho law mak ing power of tho laud.? PutincUo Yeoman. A Noble Habit. There are persons whom you can always believe, because you know they have tho habit of telling the truth. They do not "color" a story or enlarge a hit of news in order to make it sound fine or remarkable, j There aro others whom you hardly know whether to believe or not, be cause they "stretch" things so. A \ trifling incident grows iu size, bul not in quality, by passing through their mouth. They take a small factor a j slender bit of news and pad it with added words, and paint it with high colored adjectives until it is largely unreal and gives a false impression. And one does not like to listen to folks when bo much must bo "allow ed for shrinkage." Cultivate this habit of tolling the truth in little things us well as in great ones. Pick your words wisely, and use only such as rightly mean what you mean to say. Never "stretch" a story or a fact to make it seem bigger or funnier. Do this and peoplo will learu to trust you an I re spect you. This will be bettor than to have u name fur telling woudorful stories or making foolishly or falsely funny remarks. There uro enough true funny things happening in the world, ami thoy arc most entertain ing when told exuetly as they came to pass. One bus well said, "Never deceive for the sake of a foolish jest, or to excite the laughter of a few companions at the expense of a friend." Dear young friends, be true. Do the truth. There are many false tongues. Let yours speak things that are pure, lovely, true. The press is a most polen t agency as the enlightener of any people. Tbe poor man in his cottage reads the same arguments as the rich man in his palace, and is influenced to the same extcut. ? m> mm ? - - Josh Billings says : ''Cider may be a good temperance drink, but 1 can manage to get so drunk on it that I kant tell one ov a base ball klub." mm 9 mm ? - To be perfectly good a man must havo a good deal of human nature taken out of him.
