POLITENESS AND TRUTH
plead love of |
Many persons a j
truth, as an apology for rough j
manners, as if truth was never gen
tle and kind, but always harsh, ,
morose and forbidding. Surely,
good manners and a good eon
'"it-u -e are m t more inconsistent
wit h each other than beauty and
innocence, which are strictly akin,
and always look the better for com¬
panionship. Roughness and hon¬
esty, are. indeed, sometimes found
tonreihe- in the same person; hut
he is i< poor j udge of human nature
who takes ill manners to be a guar¬
anty of prohit” of character, or sus¬
pects a stranger to be a rascal be¬
cause he has the manners of a gen¬
tleman.
S one persons object to polite¬
ness that its language is unmean¬
ing and false but this is easily an¬
swered. A lie is not locked up in
n phrase: but must exist, if at all
in the mind of the speaker. In the
ordinary compliments of civilized
life, there is no intention to deceive,
and, consequently no falsehood.
Polite language is pleasant to the
car and soothing to the heart, while
rough words are just the reverse,
and if not the produce of ill tem¬
per are very apt to produce it. The
plainest truths, let it be remember¬
ed. <um he conveyed in civil speech,
while the most malignant of false¬
hoods mav find utterance, and of¬
ten does in the language of the fish
market.—Union and Recorder.
SOUTHERN FARMERS
The statement has been publish¬
ed recently in more than one Geor¬
gia paper that the farmers of this
and some of the other Southern
States are gradually becoming
poorer, and that if they were sud¬
denly required to pay tbeir debts
the great majority of them would
be found to be insolvent. This
doubtless is an exaggerated state¬
ment. It may be that, ns a rule,
Southern farmers are not very
prosperous, but their condition is
not a* had ns some of them scorn
seem to think it is. Thev have
suffered to some extent, within the
Inst few years, from poor crops and
Jew prices, but they * arc not on the
vGr^c of bankruptcy. A . prosper
ou« year would be sufficient to put
the most of them on their feet
again, and while that is the ease
there is no occasion far despairing
Farmers ought to know their own
husmess better than those not
gaged in farming, but it docs seem
as iftbev make a grave mistake in
mymg so little attention to tire ath
vice that is given them with respect
to their derhion to cotton. They

! account of all the expenses of
during a crop of cotton they would
be surprised how little, if any, the !
orofit on it. is. If they conid be in- !

Southern farmers are not careful |
enough nboat small things. They
don t look closely , , after f the , butter,
e fc'g s . poultry, etc. In sterile Yer
mont New Hampohire and other
^ ew Eugl^-ud States, these things
arc the source of great profit. In
deed, without them many of the J
farmers in those States would not
he able to make a living at all. In |
the South, particularly on farms j
which are given up almost wholly
to cotton, scarcely any attention is
paid butter or poultry, and less to
fruit and vegetables. All of these |
things arc looked upon as too trif
ling to be bothered with. South
era farmers will never be convinc
ed ot their mistake, , however, until , j
necessity forces them to make a.
change in their method of farming.
How many Southern farmers are
there who carefully collect all the
materials about their farms that
are fitted for manuring purposes?
The number doubtless is small, and
yet there are very few of them who
do not purchase expensive com- j
mcrcial fertilizers every year. They j
might collect fertilizing materials
on their farms which would do
their land as much good as the
fertilizers they buy. Let Southern
farmers look more closely after the
little things that are worthy of at- j
tention on their farms and they will
very soon notice an improvement
in their affairs.—Morning News.
JOSEPH F0WARD’S ‘‘LIFE OF

known journalist and intimate
friend of llenry Ward Beecher for

learn the work is to be brought out
by Hubbard Bros., at an early day,
and will no doubt be sold by sub¬
scription.
