A large class of farming people
seem to be satisfied to pass their
lives as tenants, making no effort
to homes of their own. They
live from year to year on laud be-
longing to others, moving from
place to place, one
year where they will live the next,
and, in the meantime,
ting the truthfulness of the old ad-
age that rolling stone no
They have followed this
plan until they seem to have be-
come reconciled to it, and to have
lost all aspirations for a homo of
their own and a life of
deuce.
To a thinking man this condition
of affairs presents a problem that is
not easy to solve. It destroys a
vast amount of energy that might be
devoted to the development and up-
building of the and its re-
sources, and creates a large floating
population that cannot possibly feel
the same interest in the general
that those who own homes
and land of their own feel. A
vile unworthy of
American citizens, is created, which
will become more pronounced with
each generation, and the tendency
is to a position of serfdom for a
large class of people.
The Planter does not believe in
contracting debts, as a rule, but
man is justifiable in in debt
for anything it is a home. The
trouble with too many is that they
want to buy a largo farm, and if
they cannot do this they continue
This is No poor
man should buy more land he
needs. The better is to buy a
small place improve it. Build
a house and create a home. It may
be a very humble one at first, but
it be, by degrees, made beaut is
and A acres of
land may be made fertile, and, by
intelligent management and tho-
rough cultivation, bountiful harvests
may be reaped. The possession of
a home will inspire a feeling of in-
dependence, and will tend to
morally and mentally, those
who are thus identified with the
common interests and prosperity of
the country.
By all means secure a home, and
then devote all your energies to its
improvement. But whatever yon
do, give a mortgage on it.

As a people, we are rushing on
wildly into commercial feudalism.

maddened rage for accumulating
riches, the unscrupulous means em-

In vain do they protest against the

Legislatures impending ruin
and bankruptcy stare us in the face
as a nation. In vain are they
and heroically against
the tide which is driving them
down into the degradation
of commercial vassalage. This is
strong language, but it is truth.
To rescue the agricultural and
industrial interests from the

equilibrium between the great
industries of the country which is
absolutely essential to a healthful
growth and prosperity, to secure to
the farmers of the land some of the
profits of their hard earnings, is the
grand mission the Farmer's Aili-

Conferring Favors-
Spectator,
There is nothing evinces such
taste and delicacy or sentiment as
the gracious benevolent man-
of conferring a favor. Many a
kind feeling has been rendered
nugatory by manner in
it has developed itself; and
a good deed has lost its savor, and
become in eyes of the recipient
even revolting, from the want of
a delicate and generous expression.
This is the reason why obligations
are so forgotten, and i-
apparently inclined. A man
confers a favor yon in the
hour or need; lie, therefore,
be has a right to insult yon ; and he
wonders you should be so audacious
as to I affront. There is
such a feminine aided by-
kindness and goodness of heart,
some which possesses an
resistible ; and leave one
puzzled whether we should prize
the gentleness of disposition which
prompts, or natural delicacy of
feeling and character which
opes, generous deed.
We are all more prone to scan
motives when favors are con-
than when they are refused ;
and the former often give more pain
than the latter. All this arises from
the of the giver or refuser.
How necessary is it, therefore, In
all those who are desirous of
a favorable impression behind
them, to cultivate an acquaintance
with this really fascinating art of
doing good deeds in a proper man-
may almost lay it down
as an axiom, that a really
lent feeling will invariably produce
benevolent expressions, whatever
may be harshness of feature or
abruptness of manner of the
Where things are other-
wise, there is a flaw in moral
constitution; there is an
defect somewhere.
