FIT FOR DARKE AGES. — i But Not For the Enlightened Present. 'l'bere always has been since the Very earhest Listory of man in his venighted pilgrimage along tne bunks of the Nile and up to the present time, to a Certain ex tout, w streak of credulity aud sa- perstition in the human family. S.soding to-day as we are the _reatest aud wost mighty race of } suple since the earliest history uf tue world, having attained the highest degree of intelligence and enlightenment of any of our pred- jceasors, it 1s easy to draw upon the imagination and gaze far down the vistas of ages and by ie sid of cuvntemplation soon Dring Ourselves to a fuil realiza- tion of the many, many ridiculous iurms and customs engaged in by vur early forefathers. Our en lightened civilization of modern times wou.d not think of counte- nancing,and our higher and more acute sense of retinement and cul- tare would rebel at,the gladiatorial performances of an ancient Ko- wan amphitheatre. Tue high de- gree of enlightenment of this age shines with such dazzliny brilli- ~uce in Comparison with past ages, su far as progress in science, lit erature and high moral culture is concerned, that we lose sight of the fact that vach one vf us is carryiog some of those same old qraits of human nature that were ‘prevalent 81x thousand years ago. There is actually to-dxy a be- lief in spiritualism amoog some of our people who have had op-— ployed would have elevated them far above this channel of super- stitious credulity. There is some- thing connected with this . so- called spiritualism (if this writer were called upon to name it he woula call it a human, not super- magnetic electrical current) which appeals not tothe higher senses bat to the very lowest facuity of superstition, and if the higher sense of practical reason does not come to the rescue there is no telling where this idea will lead. If any sensible man will seriously enquire of his practical reasoniag and listen to the - dictates of his sober judgment the question will not long be a puzzling one. Now this writer does not want to offend any citizen of the U:i- ted States that claims protection under ics constitution in a@ com- munity where the people of course do not know that every American citizen (unless he be a crank or a lunati -) 18 entitled to protection, but if this epistle should miss its mark and trample upon any one’s toes all we have to say in the wibd up is we are véry sorry that the United States has a citizen naturalized that.is here, while the slowly sinking sun of nineteen centuries of civilization is reflect- ing its golden brilliance across the unclouded sky of a nation’s greatest greatness in science,liter- ature and art, trying to force down the mental channels of an enlightened and civilized peop!e ths belief in a human device called spiritaalisua. JUNIOR, Sr. WORE TOBACCO NOW. If there ever was a time when young tobacco demanaed extreme attention it is now. The hard and constant rains have run the soil together and unless it is loosened up tobacco will begin to run up aud batton very early- A few evenings ago we rode out in the country, the second fair and surshiny day that we have had in many, ead along the road— side we saw u field of tobacco that been set during the wet weather. The plants § looked healthy and vigorous and so did the grass. Down in the field on an old sand hill that had been planted in corn we found the owner of the tobacco patch. He was zealously at work replanting his corn, which under ordinary circumstances could not have produced more than two portunities and advantages which to the acre, was looking fairly if they had been properly em- well under thecircumstances.

He laughed and said he didn’t know why it was, but he just thought he would work out hiscorn. Wetold him that if he didn’t know which crop demanded his attention now, we thought he was in the wrong place, For three weeks the ground had been so wet that work in the to-— bacco patch was almost impossi- ble and the very first day when he had an opportunity of working his tobasco absolutely negivected it to work a piece of corn that was not worth at outside calculation more than four dollars an acre.
