'NOXLOO and perfectly fortified against trusts, than , a > farmer . with such surroundings Why Leaves change in Color. An' eminent botanist thus ex plains in Forest and. Stream %hy leaves change in color: “The green matter in the tissue of a leaf is composed of two colors— red and blue. When the sap ceases to flow in the fall, and the natural growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of the tissue takes place. Under certain conditions the green changes to. red; under different conditions’;?.^takes oh a yellow or or brown tint. This difference in color is due to" the difference in combination’of the “original con . stituents of the green = £tissue and to the varyinggeondi lions £of the climate, soil and exposure. A dry, eold : climate produces more bril liant foliage than one that is damp and warm. This is the reason that our American autumns are so much, more gorgeous tha i those of England. There are several things about leaves that science cannot explain. For instance, why one of two trees growing^ side by. side, of the same age and lhaving the same exposure, should take on a bril- Iiant~red in the fall, an.d the other should turn yellow, or why one branch, of a tree should be highly- colored and the rest of the tree haf'e only a.yellow tint,, aro-j ques tions that are as impossible to an swer as why one member of a fam ily'should be perfectly healthy and and another Fsietly. Maples and oaks have ithe .brightest col ors.” - . V , cates, etCy all with a view to bet tering the financial status of the working-people of this country. These sayings, writings, resoiv- ings, and legislative 'efforts have been made and had with the os tensible purpose of protecting this class of our people lit iKs enjoy ment of the hard earnings of their toil. Notwithstanding all these, the leakage “continues, and the" working classes’ purses, are not growing plethoric. Three millions of laboring people in this country, largely farmers, have and are com bining to bring to light the vam pires that are preying upon their financial life-blood,"and to find, if possible, the goose that shall lay the golden egg of deliverance, These are meeting, convening, dis cussing and resolving % with hones ty of purpose:io[make themselves independent qf the plutocratic power that is ^developing in the great monied centers of our coun try. Eesolutions, plans and pro grammes are the products of the brain; they sound well when fall ing from the lips of men, and look well on paper; but unless they be executed and carried to final con summation, what are they but sounding brass and tinkling cym bals ?” ; Of . what,. value a,re the wisest theories that ever evolved from the brain of man, if they be not puf into practice? Having be come cognizant of .Ithe fact that there is to them a wrong some where, the first important work for these millions of laboring m§n to do is to ascertain this wrong and where it germinates, and [then ap ply the proper remedy by a wise and conservative mode of proce dure. Every effort put forth for the righting of a wrong without- knowing the whereabouts of the wrong, is certainly ineffectual, a waste of time, and a shot in the dark. . The leading thought of the farmers all over this country, and especially the alliancemeh, i is [to thwart. aDd defeat trusts and mo nopolies, to which they! attribute all those oppressive burdens that seem to be now resting upon them. Now we believe it is possible for farmers in such |a country as ours, ib put|tKemselves;in an in dependent position, and to very largely, ifnot wholly, protect them selves against hurt) or oppression growing out of trusts ror money combines. And[thev fimay meet and discuss, convene and resolve, all of which is well, right and proper,’ (for an interchange of views is advantageous,} but the way for the accomplishment of this great desideratum is plain, simple and open to them. This, too, is the safest and surest way. And it is simply for every farmer, be he tenant or land-owner, to grow a diversity of crops, and to plant sufficiently in provision crops to produce an abundant suf ficiency for every living thing that feeds from the farm. In this way every farmer can stand upon his own dung-hill, an independent freeman; can live in luxury at home; can chunk a few dollars an nually into the bank for his de clining years,-and enjoy happily the fruits of his toil . .This old doctrine, and has been, so con stantly preached to. the farmers until it has become stale,. bti£ it is as fine as truth itself. And the sooner the -farmers cf this country accept this v doctrine as true, and put it into practice; the better it will, b.e.fpr them, and that much sooner will they able to de feat the jute trusts or monied combines that attempt tc oppress :or grind from them the fruits of their labor. •. * . - Wherein is there any need for . ssanv Persons, . a farmer to beg for the loan of ] b.-oicr. a-A- irpiti overwosH or HOtisuiiyAu. money, or to beg a merchant for j .credit under a nicrtga^e that COv - \ ccss ofTbsle/siia cn.v Galana.

Her face was pinched and ashy, her eyes a kind of muddy hazel, the peculiar combination giving her an uhsiiat appearance. “Got any ole eld’s yer wanter trade?” she inquired, abruptly. “No I think not,” I answered, glancing at the basketsnf berries which hung on her arms., “Better git somer dese here berries; dey’s mighty nice. I’ll take . mos’ anything for -’em. -Gimme some ole med’eine ef you got any. Some uv us is purty nigh alwas sick.” . I shuddered to think of-the con sequences that might result from my venture in a second-haiid drug establishment, but began to con template my stock of old clothes as. she seemed so determined to “trade.”. It was an evil hour in deed that led me to begin a series of “tradings” that grew with the weeks and strengthened with the months until fears, even, had passed aver my benighted head. Scarcely a fortnight passed after I first made her. acquaintance that I: bid not have- a visit from piy ubiquitous berry woman, Bhe brought berries and fruit in their season and nuts Sad chickens in their season; in fact, she claimed all seasons for .her own. When I had begun to despair of ever ridding myself of my “old man of the sea;” when 1 saw a long vista of years stretching out be fore me in which I must be trad ing and giving in trade, happily we moved to a distant street. I enjoyed a respite of two months in my new hcane unmolested by the trading Josephine.. At last, fine day in early fall she reappeared upon the scene with renewed vigor, bringing a basket of huts and one chicken. I was compelled to Sacrifice a plate of “victuals” and , an old hat on the altar of hospital! W- and the above mentioned articles. During my search for the hat Josephine spied, hanging in my closet, a very pretty red jersey, which a few stitches might render very useful, and immediately be gan to devise ways and means to possess hersejf of it, I at first told her I didn’t want to.dispose of'it, but, suddenly, with the iaspiration-of a providen tial interference, I conceived a plan of deliverance. With a ,sigh for my dear departing jersey, bat a bright hope for the future, I took the-jacket’down and gave it to her saying: “Here Joiephinej.you may take it, and next week bring me two" chickens for it.” - “Yessnm,” sbe'-areponded, eager ly. “I’ll fetch ycu dem chickens er Chuesday, sho. You kin pen’ ’pon gitting’em. I ain’ ? tole yer no lie yit an’ I aiu’ goiri’. tell yer nope now.” s Bhe departed, to leave me in peace, five'.years have passed since, and this day I have not seen her or “dem chickens” either. rksVeidiet Unanimeas, Cassell's Magazine.
