The farmer came in from the field one day ; His languid step and his weary way, His beaded brow, his sinewy hand, All showed his work for the good of the land ; For he sows, For he hoes, And he mows, All for the good of the land. By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife, Light of his home and joy of his life, With face aglow and busy hand, Preparing a meal for her household hand ; For she must boil, And she must broil, And she must toil, All for the good of the home. The bright sun shines when the farmer goes out ; The birds sing sweet songs, land s frisk about ; The brook babbles softly in the glen, While be works so bravely for the good of men; For be sows, And he mows, Aud be lioes, For the good of the land. How briskly the wife step almut within, The dishes to wash, the m Ik to skim ; The fire goes out, the flic Lu/.z about, For the clear ones at home her heart is kept stout ; Theic are pics to make, There is bread to hake, And steps to take, All for the sake of the home. When the day is o’er and evening is come, The creatures are fed, the milking done, He takes his rest ’neath the old shade tree, From the labor of the land his thoughts are free ; Though be sows, And be hoes, And he mows, He rests from the work of the land. But the faithful wife, from sun to sun, Takes her burden up that’s never done ; There is no rest, there is no play, For the good of her house she must work away ; For to mend the frock, And knit the sock, And the cradle to rock, All for the good of the home. When autumn is here with its chilling blast, The farmer gathers his crop at last ; His barns are full, his fields are bare ; For the good of the land he ne’er hath care, While it blows, And it snows, Till winter goes, He rests from the work of tlie land. But the willing wife, till life's closing day, Is the children’s guide, the liusban I s stay ; From day to day she lias done her best, Until death alone can give Her rest; For after the test, Comes the rest, Wltb the blest, In the II avcnly father’s bon e. ■rniTTßTimnr-TiwiHMT"t •■jssjEa# Col, W. L. McKiulev In his ad dress of welcome to the Agricultu ral Convention last week said among other things the following : “War and lire and whirl wind and worse than all these combined the unfortunate lien-law of 18GG, and the revolutionary constitution for the conquered, of 1808, have all pass ed over us; but thank God'we still survive, and now joyously hail you Mr. President, and "you, gentlemen of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, as large contributors to our deliverance. You have done a good work already, but your task is hard ly begun, and should never end. The lien-law of 18GG and the consti tution of 18G8, sowed discord among the different classes of our people and embittered our private life by creating antagonism between our farmers and merchants ; between our creditors and debtors, producing op pression on one side and fraud on the other, and disaster for both. These blind laws] separated between chief friends, and made grievance and enmity and cursing and wrath, between merchant and laud-Holder and farmer, where formerly all was peace,and where naturally, all would be kindness and good credit and con fideuce. The well-established, fixed citizen-merchant, is naturally the righthand of the Georgia farmer; and the farmer is the only great cus tomer of the cotton-country mer chant ; and there snould be no an tagonism between them. Their pros perity depends on mutual support of each other. God and nature made them friends, and wise men will not j allow a bad constitution to make them antagonists much longer. A well regulated land-system, and a fairly protected village commerce, is j the great hope of Georgia Asa J Georgia State Agricultural Society, j the rules and tenure of our land j system is your peculiar business- Gornl farming cun never grow out of had land laws, and had hud titles, which, as at present in Georgia, make estates mere temporary possessions, and sell at sheriffs' salts the fee-sim ple revision of the whole country for a trifle, thereby ruining at once both debtor and creditor, rnd devol ving the lands of all Georgia into new hands, to run over and over again the same short, fatal round in endless repetition. The present land laws of Georgia, as altered by the constitution of 18G8, and as con strued by the Supreme Court of Geor gia, are fatal to our future agricul ture and are the greatest obstacle to t his society. And while it is your business to guard the land laws and shape the land system of the State, the mer chants and bankers of Georgia ought, by anew constitution, to be allowed either the entire control, of a very large influence in the control of the internal commercial law system of Georgia. The State revenue system, the entire subject of taxes and fi nance and banking and insurance, and perhaps corporations too, ought to lie committed to the practical wisdom of enlightened merchants, as a distinct permanent committee or Branch of the Legislature, and the great commercial matter of “credit or and debtor’ought to be subject to joint counsel of both merchant and landholder. Miiledgeville and the Farmers’ Club of Baldwin conn tv, both look to you, the great land holding council of Georgia, for wise leadership and benign influence on these matters of mutual interest. And we gladly call public notice to the fact,‘that while you, Mr. Presi dent, a landholding farmer, are about to retire as our presiding otlieers that this State society of landholder, has elected as your successor an em inent and beloved citizen, who is dis tinguished as a commercial man. Tiiis is wise, and it is only by such co-operation of classes that we can ever quiet the ruinous, bitter con flict. of private life between merchant and farmer and landholder, and cred itor,and debtor, which was created by the empirical, evil constitution of 1868. The Farmers, Club of Baldwin county, are happy to report to you that, following youradvice, the corn cribs of our eouiiLv are all full, and a bounteous cotton-crop rewarded the last year’s labors of our people, which has been promptly sold and devoted to sustain our fanners’ cred it. with the merchants, and our mer chants’ credit with manufactures ami wholesale traders of the cities ; and a sense of beginning relief, is manilest among our people. Peace and an other good crop, or two, and an im proved Constitution adjusting wisely the relations of creditor and debtor, and of land-holder and merchant, so as to do justice to all, will make our people as happy as human lot allows. And akin S) that, in behalf of the Farmers’Club of Baldwin county, I beg Mr. President and gentlemen of the Society, to invite your special thought to an overlook, but one of the greatest charms of Georgia, alike for the farmer, the merchant, the non-produeer, and the statesmen. It is the capacity of Georgia to pro duce forever two food crops a pear on every acre. The empire of Japan, situated partly in our latitude, and raising cotton, silk, wheat amt rice, on a settled territory but little larg er than Georgia, supports thirty-three millions of happy people. The se cret lies in her perpetual sveeession of food crops ; —growing all the tune, crop after crop, the year round, on almost all the land. Ninety years ago, when Arthur Young, the great farmer anti agri cultural reformer of "England, trav eled in France and got south of Par is ho was amazed to lin<!, what he had never before understood the great secret whereby France, with inferior tools and poor tillage, was able to siij J ort thirty million of inhabitants on a small territory. The secret was the same as that of Japan ; two food crops a year on every acre : a winter crop of small grain, followed in July by a crop of millet, or other food-crop thus making for the French farmer a second crop just as profi tabie as the whole year s labor could make for the farmer of colder Eng land a second crop. The statistics of suicides in this citv for the past year show a total of one hundred and fifty or nearly enough to furnish the newspapers a paragraph every other day the year round. This is a gloomy record, which the list of fifteen centenarians who sensibly lived as long as they could and appropriately died in our hundredth year, may do something to lighten. If the figures of the hit ter list are to be relied on, we have allowed some very old people to die in this neighborhood without mak ing them famous. —N. V. Tribune. Two more Bishops.— The New York Freeman’s Journal announces that the Pope has appointed two new bishops for the United States—Bev. Dr. John Moor, of Charleston, S. C. to be bishop of St. Augustine Fla., and the Dominican, Prior, Yingcs, of Benicia, to be coadjutor of Bishop O’Connell of Brass Valley, Califor nia. lion. Thomas Hardeman, in his inaugural address to the State Agri cultural Society, said : I am not one of those who have despaired of the State and predict an uncertain future, for her increase in all the elements of material great ness, during a decade of years jus tities the prophecy that, by a projie: direction of our energies, a wise di vision of onr labor and prudence hus bandry of our economies, we will re establish her upor a basis of perma nent prosperity and greatness. And to no industry do 1 more encoura gingly look for this growth and pros perity than to theonein whose inter est you have^assembleck,to-day. It is the Star in the East which is to guide us to the Bethlehem of anew Redeemer. Upon your success rests my well grounded hope of future prosperity. Intelligent agriculture, supplying its own wants, relieving its own necessities, cultivating its soil, is the foundation stone upon whim rests our social, commercial, mechanical and nianiifjyituring inter ests.

Moody has received a note asking him to offer up prayers for “a young married wife.” The only appropriation bill which failed in (ingress was the army bill. The House insisted on its amend ment, that the troops should not be used to uphold the Packard govern ment m Louisiana, and the Senate refused to acede thereto. The dis agreement was icported from the last conference committee to the House at 17 minutes before 12. Speaker Randall interrupted the roll call vote to deliver his valedictory, and then adjourned the House without day. There is a difference of opinion as to whether this will necessitate an extra session. Those who are supposed to reflect President Hayes’ views say that there will be no extra session called, wliiie others say it is impos sible for the government to proceed without embarrassment unless one is called. If an extra session is couvcn ed it will not be before the middle of May. General Grant gave Fraudulent Hayes a Stare Dinneron the sth inst. The Washington Star says : The state dining-room at the White House never looked more in viting than when arranged an .1 deco rated on Saturday evening for the state dinner. In front of the two windows at either end of its southern wall, palm trees in tubs were placed as screens. A large azalea bush, covered with pink blossoms, stood in front of the central window. On the white marble mantels, at cither end of the room, were blooming plants in pots, and trailing smilax fringed the mantels. Festoons of smi lax decorated the crystal chande lier- hanging over the table, and the same graceful vine extended from the chandelier to the central orna ment of the table. This ornament was purchased by Mrs. Grant at the Centennial for the White House. It is of silver (of Gorham manufac- | tore) and represents a single-masted boat with a sale, and Hiawatha stan ding in the stern grasping an oar. The boat stands on a plate glass mir for, representing a lake, on which silver wates lilies float. This orna ment stood in the center of the long hor’zonta! mirror, which always is placed through the center of the state dining table. At either end of the mirror were baskets of choice flow ers, and at intervals, where the arch ed wires rising from the frame of the mirror met, a short distance above its surface, boqnets were fas tened. The wires were trimmed with pink and yellow azalea blossoms and smilax trailed along the frame of the mirror. At each corner of the table weio gilt vases with smi lax. Choice bonnets were placed at the plate of each guest. Mrs. Robb, of Corpus Christi, is fairly entitled to her name of the Cattle Queen of Texas.

Hewithas resigned the chairmanship of the National 1 hmocratie Committee. The Washington Star says “the city is full of burglars, pickpockets and sneak thieves, and is likely to he so for some time to come.” Yes four more years at least. The House receded from itsamend ment to the legislative appropriation bill, reducing the Preiaents salary to 825,000 and the bill was jtassed- So Haves gets 850,000 too. Issue Friedlander, the Ban Franci sco grain king, sold 16,C00 tons of wheat from his farm last season, N r which he received 8548,000 in gold. The President lias determined up on the prosecution of Don Piatt, of the Capital, for libel, also for sed itious writing, indictable under both common and statutory law. “The tread of sheep is golden so says an old adage.

Be cheerful, contented, and light hearted. Always remember that there arc others whose troubles are greater than yours. In the family circle show the sunny side of your nature. Don’t go around complain ing, miserable and unhappy. It is too much like the uncomfortable cust om of the ancient Egyptains, who never gave a feast without a skele ton in full view,.that they might not forget their mortality. By an old chance two lovers of one woman met as convicts in the Alabama state prison. One was'to serve three years and the other live : and the latter desired a compact l>y which the former was not to take an vantage of liis earlier freedom, but to refrain from courting the woman uncil both were at liberty. The three-years* man refused to make any such agreement, and was in conse quence nearly murdered by the live year’ man. The woman had alredy married somebody else. The Charleston News and Cour ier says the following dispatch, was sent to President Grant by the girls of Summerville after they had been made aware of his objections to a military turn-out on Washington’s birthday : Summerville, S. C., February 22. To His Excellency Ulyses S. Grant, President of the Uir.tcd States of America : We wish to celebrate the birthday of Washington by a candy-pulling.— Can we do so without violating the ! spirit of your proclamation and the ; recent orders based thereon ? Hewitt’s speech in the House ere ; ated a genuine feeling of excitement After setting forth the great wrong, as he alleged, done the democratic party, lie ad vised acquiescence.

Hewitt replied because to rc ! sist will produce anarchy. Then ; Cate, with a tragic, sweep of his right arm, said : ‘‘lt is cowardice |to allow it. Yates, of N. J., lost his Dead altogether. He didn't say anything audible, tail assumed a pugilistic attitude, gyrating his arms ! like an .agio’s wings on an upward j flight. For a few minutes there was quite a scene, and it required all the i efforts of the Speaker to restore qui et. London Prt‘M on the Inaugural. The Tini<* says the greater pari i of it is of a character that might have been welt received by men of j all parties. The Xews says of course general principles do not help much to coo! angry passions which have been seeth ing for years, but there is a tine i for the statement of principles as well as of details, anti it is Out fair that, as far as they go, the princi ples President Hayes enunciates are excellent. Tiie Telegraph says : Mr. Hayes’ comments on the election ordeal, which put such a severe strain on the constitution, are such as become a President who, from the moment he takes the oath of office, should be long to all parties. On the whole, we do not imagine that even his can did opponents will complain of the tone and temper of an address which deals with questions of the highest moment, primarily to America and indirectly to all tlie world. Mr. Hayes speaks with the dignity and frankness becoming the Chief Mag istrate of a great people, and points the way to ends which, if they can be accomplished, will redound to his honor and that of his country.
