Farmers and Newspapers.
[Louisville Ledger ]
We have been frequently surprised
to see bow many farmers, wi 11 to do
■in worldly riches, neglect or refuse to
take some good newspaper for the
benefit of himself and family. They
Seem to think they have no interest
in the affairs of the outside world;
that they have to deal with nothing
except the land they plow or the stock
"they feed, and the children they are
rearing in ignorance. They forget
that they are a part of the great hu
man family, placed upon this orb to
work out the plans of the good and
wise Creator, and as such have no
right to dam up the great stream of
■progress.
The laws-of progression are as un
alterable as are any others in nature,
and that mau who impedes those laws
with an offspring—children unedu
cated and besotted with ignorance—
commits a sin which reacts not only
on himself, but on his descendants for
long years i:i the future.
Newspapers are made to spread in
telligence and improve the morals of
mankind. To the farmer, above all
men, they should be a necessity, from
the very fact that they afford him in
his isolated condition the only means
'of mixing in the busy scenes of life.
Man in a hermit state becomes a per
sonification of selfishness—caring for
nobody and nobody caring for him.
Development comes alone from asso
ciating with our fellow men, and ap
propriating to ourselves the advance
ment which they make.
No farmer should do without this
social schooling, both for his own
good and that of his children and in
no way way can ho obtain it so fully
and cheaply ns through the newspa
per and periodical literature of the
day; and he who neglects to receive
these advantages deprives himself of
light, and lives out his days in worse
than heathen darkness.
Courtesy Pays.
A courteous man often succeeds in
life when persons of ability fail. The
expsrienco of every man furnishes
frequent instances where conciliatory
manners have made the fortunes of
physicians, lawyers, divines, politi
cians, merchants, and indeed, individ
uals of all pursuits. In being intro
duced to a stranger, his affability or
the reverse creates instantaneously a
prepossession in his favor, or awakens
unconsciously a prejudice against
him. To men civility is, in fact, what
a pleasing appearance is to women, it
is a general passport to favor—a letter
of recommendation written in a lan
guage that every one understands.
The best of men have often injured
themselves by irritability and conse
quent rudeness; whereas men of in
ferior abilities have frequently suc
ceeded by their agreeable and pleas
ing manners. Of two men, equal in
all other respects, the courteous one
has twice tho advantage, and by far
the better chance of making his way
in the world.
Consumption of Smoke.— Thu pro
prietors of the Cleveland Herald have
recently applied an apparatus to their
office chimney which is claimed to he
a perfect preventative of smoke and
a great saver of fuel The discovery,
which tho Herald thinks is a very
Valuable one, was purely accidental.
A mechanic of that city was trying to
secure a better draft for a slugglish
fire, and tho thought occured to him,
after other devices had failed, to try
the effects of steam. A small pipe
was mado to conduct the dry ‘ steam”
from the top of the boiler to the up
per part of the funace, which it en
tered in two smttll jects, striking
downward on the the burning fuel.
No sooner was the steam injected in
to the furnace thau the slugglish,
smoky fire sprang up into a clear,
bright yellowish and intensely hot
flame filling the whole furnace with a
loud roar. The man found he had
not only secured a strong draft, but
something much more important, a
smokeless fire. As an experiment the
apparatus was attached to the furnace
of the Herald engine, which was con
verted from a neighborhood nuisance
of smoke and soot into a smokeless
fire.
“ Twice one is won,” repeated
an urchin in an absent minded way.
“What!” cried his father; “have I
spent so much money on your edu
cation with no better results than
that ? Twice one is two, sir.” “Well,
dad,” replied the young hopeless, “I
will admit that you are right, from
one standpoint; but, with all due def
erence to yon as my paternal progeni
tor, I must beg leave to maintain that,
when I win two one-dollar bills on a
horse race, twice one is won.”
A lawyer received the follow
ing note, accompanying a bouquet
from over in ludiaua:
“Deer :
“i send u bi the boy a bucket of
flowers. They is like mi luv for u.
The nite shaid meens keep dark. The
dog feuil meens I am are slave.”
