A long time ago there
two uoted ministers in Athens,
one'a baptist and the other
Presbyterian. I hey were: ter
ribly zealous in their respective
faiths aui preached doctrines
and sectarianism with a power
that kept the peoplo -excited
and produced ... uio-e difftrd
than Christian harmony, By
and bv the Baptist challenge
the 1'resbyteriaii to a discussion
.uiid the challenge was accepted
'For several nights tli3 debate
went on ana tne house was
crowded to cveriiowiuwr. it was
nip and tuck between them for
they were men of t-yvrer, and
was hard to tell who v.as gett
ing the advantage. : Wheiv tlie
arguuieutd were exhausted aud
the dobatb closed, it was ot
served that neither of j them
indulged in'any jmore doctrinal
sermons, and wi thin les than a
year the Bapt'stjhad withdrawn

Tresbyteriau and the Presby
terian withdrawn and become a
Baptist. They had convince i
each otlier and swapped sides.
Well, that was honest and
liberal and I like It.- No, if
the high tariff ami lowj tariff
men will do the same way the
country will be sate. We had
a debating society oncej that
made the boys swap side.V and
it was a good plan to keep down
prejudices and make us look at
a question fair and equate. I
was ruminating about the Con
stitution and the Telegraph, for
theyare dealing sledge hammer
Dlows against each ether's tariff
croedd, and I thought they
. would have convinced each
other before thi and swapped
sides. The truth! is this revenue
business has never been so ably
discussed and so well ventilat
ed in ;the past, few ruonths by
the southern press. The facts
are coming Detpre tne people
and some of the imysterious sur
roundings have :beeu removed.
Enough has been uncovered to
convince us that it is the most
complicated intricate problem
now before tue American
DeoDle. It I weice t6 read only
factories and now the'supply is
ten million ouncee. The low
price placed quinine in reach of
the'poor all over the nation.
So it'.does.not follow that re

uusmess. i
But on the other hand, look
at coffee and tea.; There was a
duty that brougkf.us in a rev
eaueof "millions,: but the people
howled for cheaper coffee, and
so the duty was taken off and
coffee and -tea went right up
and up and np, and is so high
now a poor. man can hardly'af-
ford to drink it. I How is that ?
Why dident coffee and'tea come
down?. I asked one of our
statesmen that question and he
looked wise and solemn and
whisperd damfi.no, which I
didn't understand and don t yet.
And that is about all the answer

But something must be done,
Uncle Sam is getting too rich
off of his own people and that
brings up the whisky business.
I don't reckon anybody wants
free whisky, but most every
body wants the tax collected in
some other way.;; Why not let
the states.collect'it. in their

"Well, then, tell me what I said."

And Mr. Geer nervously twiched
np the skirts of bis coat, and re
placed his awry cushion, and began
to think that rerhans. after all, he
had been asleep. But Mrs. Geer
was too much interested in the
subject of her own cogitations to
parsne her victory further; bo she
answered,
Yes, and what is a-going to be
come ol her!"
"Lud, lud ! What's the matter!"
asked Mr. Geer, wildly.
"Matter! Why, she'll be sev
enteen, come fall, aud doesn't know
a thing."
'.OLiidl that all! That a'n't
nothiu'."
And Mr. Geer eettled comforta
bly down into his arm-chair once
more, lie felt decidedly relieved.
Visions of smallpox, cholera, and
throat distemper, the worst evils
that he could think of and dread
for his darling, had been conjured
up by his wife's words; and when
be found tne real btate oi me case,
should not go to school. She would
not be married.. She had said she
would not, aud of course she would
not."
"Of course I shall not,'' mused
Ivy, as sbe layn her white bed.
"What could put it it. to poor pa
pa's head 1 Marry John Ilerricks,
with his everlasting smirk, and his
diddling walk, and take care of all

and aunts, and the Derrick' cows

But Ivy bad kept her thoughts
on her marriage longer than ever
before in her life; and ere she had
finished the inventory of John Iler
ricks's personal propenty and real
estate, the blue eyes were closed in
tbe sweet, sound sleep of youth
and health.
Mis. Geer, in her estimate of her
daughter's attainments, was partly
right aud partly wrong. Ivy bad
never been "finished'' at Mrs. Por
ter's seminary, and was conse
quently in a highly unfinished con
dition. "Small Latin and less
Greek" jostled each other in her
head. German and French, Ital
ian and opauian. were strange
tongues to Ivy. Sbe could not
dance, nor play, nor draw, not
paint, nor work little dog on foot
stools. What, then, could she do!
"Jmprirnib" she could climb a

she coald walk across th great

pulled oat the bay from tbe very
noses of tbe astonished cows, to see
if, perchance, some inexperienced
pullet might there have deposited
her golden treasure. With all

2,000.000 bushels short of the yield

in years. We urge every one, who
cultivates one inch of soil, to pay
particular attention corn, which
