LOVE'S LANCUACE. Hej: lips have never yet betray Her heart to me, but 0! What care I tho' 6he never tell ,What I already know? What care I tho' in common 5 speech i Her love she ne'er confess. When e'en her very voice doth come , To me as a caress? What matters words, when but to take Her hand in mine doth start. Strange little thriils each one to me A messaee from her heart? What need have I of words, perdy, Who read as in a book. Love write in ev'ry tender line, in ev'ry txmid look.-1 In vain with silence doth she seal Her lies. Lo. hone doth rise Above them, and, but now, I swear, She kissed me with her eyes! The Value of Small Farming LouUtUU Ooarier Journal Little things sometimes a mount to more than great things. Australia furnishes a fine illus tration of it. The value of the milk produced last year in the colony of Victoria was f 23,000 000. The butter and cheese were valued at $15,000,000. Thirty years ago Victoria's only attrac tion was gold. Nothing else was thought of. The gold mined in 188U amounted to only $5,000, 000, less than one-seventh the value of the dairy's output. A great exportof butter and cheese has begun to England, and a new source of wealth for Victo ria is promised. Such lessons as this should not be lost upon the South. Of course cotton, tobbacco, rice, sugar and corn will remain her staple products, and as long as there is ' a small population spread over great areas the ma jor part of agricultural industry will be diverted toward the cul tivation of a few great staples, whether it be in the south or West. But as iieople begin to cluster in the cities and towns, dairying, gardening and small tanning will gradually and pro fitably usurp the cotton and to bacco lands, and we will be much the better for it. The Southern farmer raises what his land, his market and the quality of his labor are best fitted for. With the trrowth or cities in his section and the im provement of means of trans- icrtation, enabling him to reach the great Northern markets in convenient time, he can devote more of his attention to those miscellaneous small products which collectively amounts to much. And with the removal of the tariff and the opening of Europe to him suclt industries would bo given another trcuun- lou impttuH. The absence of any consider' able cities in the South has un questionably been a bad thing, considered in an economical ense, for the Southern farmer. Every producer needs all the markets lie can grt, whether near or far, whether home or foreign, and while the South has been able to iell her great staples, under certain tan it re strict ions, she has not had much to develop the small industries, lanto city supports a vast circle of ieople, other than its inhabitants. 1 lie city is tie tendeut upon the country, and the country upon the city. Es- teciaiiy is a city needed to coti mime the surplus products of the dairy and the garden, and to put the money in circulation for them. The South is getting them now. and she wants the whole world in addition as market. Then she will crow wealthy and the irreat farmer and the small farmer alike will find prosperity.

BlcbBoad ItaU i So the wily Indian chief has bitten the dust. He was -killed in bnttlo by the pale face, and died an he doubtless wished to die though he was not unwill ing to postpone that event. Sit ting Hull has been considered a verv crafty, treacherous Indian. So he was, but let us be chary , . A 1 ? . , in uenunciaiion oi aim, ior ne was dealing with a crafty and treacherous Government. If the Indian is treacherous has not the United States Government been treacherous in all its deal ings with the Indian? ' Hasn't he been swindled time alter time? , The, Indian agents are sent to him as representing the tinted btates Government; and they have robbed him of even his rations and clothing. These are facts Utter known to the Indian than to any other neo pie, and they are not denied by any ofiicers who , have' a irood opportunity or detecting some of the meanness practiced upon the Indians by the agents, hit ting Bull was the head of this Indian opposition. He rebelled, and he ought to have rebelled. Income Tax.

In the extreme southwest cor ner of Louisiana lies the larg est producing farm in the world measuring 100 miles north and south, and 25 miles east and west. It is owned and operated by a syndicate of northern cap itailists. The 1 ,500,000 acres of the tract were purchased in 188.' from tho State of Louisiana and from the United States Government. At that time it was a vast grazing land for the cattle of the few dealers of the neighbor hood over 30,000 herd of half wild horses and tattle being thereon. Now thisimmense tract is divided into convenient pasture stations, or ranches, existing every six miles. The fencing alone cost in the neigh borhood of 50,000. The land is best adapted for rice, sugar. corn and cotton. All cultiva ting, ditching, etc., is done by steam power. A tract, say half a mile wide, is taken, and an engine is placed on each side. The engines are portable, and operate a cable attached to four lows, and under this arrange ment thirty acres a day are gone over with only the labor of three men. Harrowing, plant ing and other cultivation is done in a like manner. There is not single draught horse on the entir place. Uf course, horses are used for the herders of cattle, of which there are 16,000 head. The Southern Pacific railway runs for thirty-six miles through the farm. The company have three steam-boats operating on the waters of their estates, of which there are three hundred miles navigable. The" have also an ice-house, a bank, a ship-yard and a rice mill. Reading the Signs of the Times. Altoana Trit.uoa. Our national boast should be in the sturdy virtue of .our peo pie rather than in th varietv and richness of material resour ces or the rapid increase of our wealth. What does the history of the dead government teach us? First, a hardy, primitive people, with few wants and great personal virtue. Then the gradual increase of wealth, the cultivation of artificial tastes, the love of luxury and the growth of effeminacy. Finally the division of the people into two great classes the very rich and tne wretchedly poor, toiiow ed by national destruction. Let us hope that such a fate will never befall our great Republic But it cannot be denied that there are some signs pointing that wav, signs that are not always hidden from the most optimistic and of which it is a patriotic duty to take notice, that the results which they fore shadow may be avoided. It is a present imperative duty to teach the rising generation that the life of a nation consists not in the abundance of its materi al possessions. Happened So.
