Home from his journey Farmer John Arrived tins morning safe and sound; 11 is black coat off and his old clothes on, ‘ Now I’m myselff’ says Farmer John;! And lie thinks, “1 11 look around” Up leaps the dog, -‘Git down you pup! Are yon so glad you would eat me up?” The old cow lows at the gate to meet him; ‘•Well, well, old Bay! Ua,ha, old Gray! ; Do you get good feed when I am away “You have not a rib!” says Farmer John; The cattle arc looking round atid sleek; | The colt is going to be a roan, I And a beauty too; how he has grown! We’ll wean the calf next Week.” Says Farmer Joint?“ When I’ve been oil, To call you again about the trough, And Watch you and pet you, while you drink, Is a greater comfort than you can think!” And lie pats old Bay, And he slaps old Gray; ‘Al»! this is the comfort of going away.” i “For after all,” says Farmer John. “The best of a journey is getting home. I’ve seen great sights; hut would I give This spot, and the peaceful life I live For all their Paris and Rome? These hills for the city’s stifled air, • I And big hotels ail bustle and glare, | Land ail houses, and roads all stone, That deaden your ears and batter your bones? Would you. old Bay? Would you, old Gray? That’s what one gets by going away! “There Money is King,’’says Farmer John “And Fashion is Queen; and it’s mighty queer To see how sometimes, while the man, Raking and scraping all he can, The wife spends every year Enough you would think for a score of wives, To keep them in luxury a!! their lives! The town is a perfect Babylon To a quiet chap,’ says Farmer John. “You see, old Bay, You see, old Gray, I’m wiser than when 1 went away. # “I’ve found out this,” says Farmer John, “That happiness is not bought and sold, And clutched in a life of waste and hurry; In nights of pleasure and days of worry, And wealth isn’t all in gold. Mortgage and stocks and ten per cent., But in simple ways and sweet content, ] Few wants, pure hopes ond noble ends, lipme land to till,and a few goad friends, | Like you, old Bay, bike you, old Gray. [’hat’s what I’ve learned by’gping away.” And a happy man is Farmer John, O, a rich and happy man is he; He sees the peas and pumpkins growing. The corn in tassles.tlie buckwheat blowing And fruit on vine and tree; The large, kind oxen look their thanks As he mbs their toreheuds and strokes their flanks. The-doves light round him, and strut and coo, Says Farmer John, “I’ll take you too, And you, old Bay, And you, old Gray, Next time I travel so far away.” ' —a O » « Our Southern Iron. —The edi tor of the Iron World, published at Pittsburg, who has lately made a trip through the Southern States, gives the following as one of the results of ltis observations : Much lias been published concern-. | ing the low price at which pig iron j can he made in the South. 'The frequent contiguity of the various - res, coal and limestone, generally ail of excellent quality, in the rea son for asserting that it can he made there cheaper than elsewhere, Most persons in the Northern States who have seen these figures j giving the cost of iron making in the South, have doubted the statements, but we believe, after a somewhat exhaustive examination of the sub ject, that in either of the three States —Tennessee, Georgia or Ala bama—pig iron can be made from six to nine dollars cheaper than it the most favored localities ot the mote prominent iron producing Slates. By tlte inundation in France tile grain crops of that country have been seriously curtailed, and it must consequently be a heavy buyer in foieign markets. Already a num ber of orders have been forwarded by cable, and the west is preparing to do her part right cheerfully. So many young clerks have gone West ot late years, that that sec tion is able t*> keep constantly on hand for any emergency elsewhere an ample sssortmeiit of wheat, corn, potatoes, fodder for cows, mid-oth er articles.

A fanner should not-be so land* grasping as to imperil the title of what lie now owns, in the attempt to possess ail that joins him, He should not attempt to cultivate more than ho can attend to thor oughly, nor keep more stock than lie can feed well. lie should not put off his pur chase of au implement lie needs, Until the work is mostly done that requires it He should not let his stock run down in winter so low that it takes all summer for them to recruit. lie bhould not go to sleep at night until his plan for the inor tow’s work is thoroughly matured, and his help acquainted with their morning duties. lie should not allow his help to attempt a job until be has made plain to them the details of their work. llesliould not require 100 many hours labor .from his men, and should give them some privileges, and take an interest in their welfare ami prospects. He should never give way to pasnionate language when errors are committed. Vile words never repair a fault and do not lessen the chance of its repetition. Finally, the farmer who makes a mild decision the rule of his house, who plans his business properly,has personal care of his work,is satis fied with small,sure gains, will pass through life serenely and leave a fair legacy to his children of world ly goods, and better still, au unsul lied reputation. A Sad But Singular Incident. —One of the most popnhu. writers of sensational books fifteen years ago was Prof. JH. Jugraham, whose so called religious novel, “The Prince of the * House of Da vid,” reached the enormous sale of One hundred thousand copies. One day Garleton, the pub'isher, was looking over a proof when Prof Ingraham called upon him with a singular propo-ition. He offeied Cat leton a new book at a pretty high pi ice,something like ten I lions aud dollars, one third of which must be paid in advance and the remainder at intervals after the honk was published. Upon inq dry as to the nature of the book, it ap pears that not one word of the book had been written, but that the author proposed to set about it at once, or as soon as he shou'd ar tive home in Louisiana, where he was the pastor of an Episcopal church. $3,333, then was demand ed for a mere promise to write. ‘ But suppose you don’t live to complete or begin the work,” said Oarleton, “what about nay $3,333, ‘ Oh!’’answered Ingraham, “that’s hardly worth anticipating.” Un der the circumstances the propo sition Was rejected. It is not known whether any other publisher accept ed it. Now for the sequel. Pud. Ingraham returned home, and. in three days after his arrival, one as ternoon while changing his coat, a pistol dropped from his pocket and exploded, shooting him dead upon the spot. Not one word of the‘‘new book” bad been put upon paper, In a newspaper office in Austral ia there was at one time a tablet informing visitors that the editor could only he spoken to during business hours by purchasing tick ets of admission at the door. The price was ten shilling lor half an hour’s talk, A boy tried his first pipe the ether day. When his father came home to dinner, he found him brac ed against a barrel, with ltis leg!* spread apart, his hands and lower jaw drooping listlessly, and a deathly palor overspreading his face. “What is the matter with you?” inquired the amazed parent. “My—teacher is—sick,” gasped the bov. “Well, yon niusn’t feel so badly about it, Tommy/ said the father kindly. “She will get Well again, without a doubt” And then stepping into the house, he observ ed to his wife, that that was the most sympathetic boy he ever saw.

And she lias other distinguished sons, of whom any county might proudly boast.—Southern Watchman | Gen. Henry JL. lienning. Died July 10, 1875. Poor Southern eyes, already rid With weeping for your noble dead, If tears are left you yet to shed, Give some to soothe this latest woe— For gallant Benuing let them flow. Ah! death,that spared him in the fight, lias struck, in peace, a Georgia knight— As knightly as the proudest iord That ever lifted lance or swotd; No truer, braver chief than he, Adorned the ancient Chivalry. For firmness in the battle shock, 11 is comrades said he was a rock; Old Rock, they said, and his command,' (Whoever fled.) were sure to stand; And never was that hope betrayed By Rock, himself, or his brigade. The tricks of war he did not learn; In stubborn valor, grim and stern, He trusted as the pirnis priest Repose til in the blood of Christ; To him it seemed no fight could luil If not a single heart would quail. When vainer warriors would assume The wreath and star,and sasli and plume, He moved among his soldiers gray, As plain and unadorned as they, Nor cared to shine, or excel, Except in doing duty Well. In peace it was his lot to die; In peace, 0, may his ashes lie! And sweetest peace, while ages roll, Attend his noble, manly soul! U irls. At tennis Ward never said a wiser thing than tills: ‘T like little gills, but 1 like big gills just as well.” Those laughing, happy creatures — the sad, the grave, the gay —all have iheir separate and peculiar charm fur the children ot men. From the school girl of fourteen to ihe mature damsel, we love them all; and it is wme that we do so. The world would be a desert with out them: and i have no patience | with a man who e,an willfully say J that he has never been entangled in the meshes ot hair, or felt Ins heart thrill at a look from a pair of laugh ing eves.

Ihe touch of a delicate hand, | the mellow tones of a girl’s voice; the tender glance of beautiful eyes —all these have their power. Man’s inherent chivalry teaches him that these are given him lor his good, to testrain his wilder impulses, and to make Idm hotter, purer, nobler.

The Practical Man and the Theorist. ‘That looks very pretty and p'ausible on papei,’ farmer Jones remarks, as ho lays down his ag ricui ural journal, after reading one of Fiofcssor Broun's well written articles on rotation of crops. ‘Il looks well, but I’d like to see the Fiofcssor tiy to carry out his ideas on the cotton pluntatation. I reck on lie’d find out tho difference be tween theory and practice’ Well, suppose I’rolessor Broun should at tempt to carry out his ideas in the field, and should make a failure?’ Would that prove his theory false? By no mean*. It takes something more than correct theory to make a crop —good general management and an experimental knowledge of the details of field work. Perhaps farmer Jones himself, working on the same plan, would attain the highest success. An inventor may devise a machine which is to revo lutionize the industry of the world, vet he may not bo able; on account of deficient mechanical skill, to con struct Ins machine in aut-li a way that it will work. The practical man—the machinist—comes to his assistance, and the work is done. So it i* in every department. The man of idea* has the force to move the world but he needs the man of practical common sense and skill to assist him in putting Iris ideas into working shape. Farmer Jones should not jump to any such conclusion us his remarks seem to indicate. Ra rul Carolinian.
