The work originally published under the iitle

in 1863, since which time \he wide circulation it
has attained in all parts ol the United- States, ancl
the signal tlnvelopmcntS which Ini ve'taken place in

Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our <own country,
which was at its height when the lint volume of
the old work appeared, has happily heen ended,
wd a new course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accession! to our geographical .knowl

The great political revolutions of the last de

marching five abreast, extending five
hundred and seventy miles? It is the
army of 5,000,000 of men and women,
who go daily and constantly to tke
saloons for intoxicating drinks.—
Marching twenty miles a day; it will
take more than twenty-eight days to
go by. -
Now they are gnue, and close in
thiir rear, comes another army
marching five abret s-Uand sixty mflps
in length.' 18 it,“there tire 530,000
confirmed drunkards. They are men
and women who have lost all control
of their appetites', and who are in the
regular habit of getting drunk and
mukiiig b&istsbf'ttiemlelves. March

There ale, alas! many women iu tile
army, sank to deeper depths tlan the
men, because of the greater heights
from which they fell. It will take them
seven dtys to go by.
It is a sad and sickeniDg sight, but
turn not away yet, for comes another
army—100,000 criminals, From jails,
prisons and. penitentiaries; they come:
At the head of tfaisarniy comes a long
line of persons whose hands are
smeared with human blood. With ropes
around their necks; they are oh their
way to .the gallows Others are going
to 'prison., for life. Every crime
khowu to our laws have been com
mitted by these people while under
the influence cf strong drink. But
hark!' Whence cyme those yells, and
who are those boil ml with chains aud
guarded by armed men? They are
raving maniacs, made such by strong
drink. Their eyes are tormented'by
awful sights, and their ears ring with
hbrri . sounds. Slimy reptiles: crawl
slowly down their’ backs, and fiends
from hell torment them before their
time.. They are gone now, wo breathe
more freely.
But what gloom is this that per
des the air, and what is that loug tide
ot black comiug down the street? It
is the line of funeral processions. On
hundred thousand who have died tin
.drunkard's death are being carried to
their grates. Drunkards do 'not have
many friends to mourn their loss, and
we put thirty of their funeral proces
sions into a mile. We thus have a
procession 3,333 miles long. It will
take a good part of the year for them
to go by, for-funeral processions move
slowly, yes, most of them do, yet once
in a while an nucoffiiied corpse .is
driven rapidly by. apd we hear the
brutal driver sing:
■ “Quick rattle his bones, rattle liisbones;
Over the stones! - - -
Hu’s only a pauper, whom nobody owns
Look into the coffins as they go by.
Gee the dead drunkards! Some died
of delirium tremens, and the lines ot
terror are still marked on tlieir faces.
Some froze to death by the roadsisle,
too drunk to reach their homes. Some
stumbled from the wharf and’wen-
drowned; some wandered in t > 'h
woods and 1 i -d, and retied n h
surface of the earth; some blew their
own brains out; some were’ fearfully
stabbed' in drunken brawls; others
were crushed, into .a shapeless mass

ways but strong drink killed them all,
and on tlieir tombstones, if. they have
any, may, be fitly, inscribed, ‘He died

funeral processions, but’ they are nu

of those who. have met death through

It has taken nearly a year for the
street to empty itself of its year's

set up bj a fraud, in which Gen.
errant was one of the chief movers,
and it is monstrous to pretend that
the President is not at liberty to rec
ognize tbe true government because
lie. lias heretofore unlawfully aided
the false one. But his determination,
wrong as it is, throws upon Congress
a responsibilty which that body cannot
afford to disregard. Gem Grant
would undoubtedly be very glad to
get rid of, Kellogg. The Republican
party likewise feels that it.has carried
that dirty burden quite long enough,
and that ft,must lose no time in nn-
jpadingif it ever means to ran another
race. We know of fewtliing3 that
would give, the party more Vidtiable
help with less trouble than the passing
of an act immediately for the relief of
Louisiana. .
Upon tlie whole we take it to be
clear from the message that the South
has nothing to hope from Gen. Grant.
He has. learned-nothing froth the elec
tions,’ .: He lias no idea of-making any
changeiii his course. If another po-

J. M. Smith, a market gardener of
Green Bay, furnishes the Horticultu
rist some interesting statements of
his experiments-in high culture. He
has found the rule invariable, not an
exception to it, that the more he has
spent in cultivating and manuring,
the greater have been the net profits
per acre. Last seaspn he- cultivated
fourteeaacres, and began with a more
thorough and expensive cultivation
than ever before. The result was that
although .there was a “terrific arougth’
—one of the dryest seasons ever
known in that region—after spending
§3,9S6, or §384 per acre, he had a bet
ter balance than any previous year.
He appears to regard constant culti

in connection with copious manuring,
as all important, Stable mannre is
the standard, with speh of superphos
phates, plaster, lime, ashes, and other
manures, as experience and- good
seDse poirt out: “After you have
learned to spend mouey to the best
advantage,” he remarks, *‘a larger
profit may be made by laying out-
8300 per acre than with less. After
the second year, if your land does not
pay all its expenses, tax, and ten per.

thing wrong somewhere. I have some
acres that Bid not pay expenses for
two years, but for a number of years
past^have not Jailed to pay ten per

expect my whole garden to do more
than this in a short time.” He adds
that he is now aiming at one-thoiisand

We have no-more light to flmg an

of those with whom we have to do,
than we have to fling a stone and in

is a very common sin, and one to
which women are particularly addict

cheerful woman in a honssliold! One
whose spirits are not affected by wet
days, or little disappointments, or
whose milk of human kindness does
not sour in the sunshine of prosperi

hours brightens the house like a’little
