Cameron's 1'lain Word. the pens sylvan i a senator sees DjNGEE ahead foe his party. The Washington correspondent of tbe Philadelphia Timea quotes L'liitwl States Senator J.

In fact, old j issues bave been worn threadbare. : It looks as if the people will de- ' mand something new." Tbe Senator indicated very clear- ly that the republicans would be at a great disadvantage in the coming contest, and even with entire bar mony and cooperation in their ranks a stubborn conflict would be inevitable. He does not believe in , underestimating the elements of strength which the adversary may develop in the contest.

"Far from the woild's ig ; noble strife'" removed from many Uf the teuiptat ions that beset the denizens of cities and towns the farmer lives in close communion with i.ature. The sunshine, the clouds, the rain, the storm, cold ; and heat, tollcl: him on every .ide acid become part of his daily life. How to put himself in unison with Uiture; how toco operate with her; tiow to avoid opposition to her laws, the.-e are his constant aim and stud. They biing no personal animosities, no initiative antagou isuis. To watch the titi seedling spring from the bin led seed: to see it expand and grow m'o the !oft corn with Us eliuw tassels, flowing silks and banging car-, or the branching cotton with its snowy locks, suggestive of death and life, of the grave and the resurrection, ; tins is the pleasing, ennobling oc cupation of each recui ring ear of i his life, lu these he sees his own lite pictured: birth, growth, ma .

Bur farming has also a hard, business side a matter of dollars and cents, m the strictest sense. In every veuture, outside of the adorn men t ot his home, or t h e com fort of his family, the tirst question that a prudent farmer should ask himselt is: ''Will it pa, is there hu prolit in it? Why should be labor "lor that which is naught," any more than a merchant cr man ufacturer or an body el.-ef "Iu the sweat of thy lace shalt thou eat biead" is the divine announcement; he should sweat, but he should have bread as the reward thereof.

Past ex perieuce that is the touch stoue, that is tbe safest counsellor. You need not fear to follow it. The only point to be guarded is, that you do not draw false influences from it, and then substitute these in the place of the experience itself. Take tbe baked facts: they are right hard to get at sometimes; they become mixed up with opin ions, and talse deductions, but strip them of these as much as you can and then be guided by past ex peri ence. whether it is pleasant or not. Be honest, whether it reflects on your past management or not. Let us propound some questions which are pertinent to the present season: "Have yen good land to justify y our i mining as many plows next year as you did this? It you had left out a part of the poorest land you planted this year and put the manure and labor upon your best land, would you not have made as much, or possibly more, and saved the keeping of one mule and one hand! Would it uot be very pleasant to have the money paid that hand back iu your pocket now, and the teed consumed by that mule back in y our bai u ! Would it not have been better to have sowed down that laud, or to have left it to rest and gather fer tility to be irilized at some future day! Does it pay you to cultiva'e poor land That is the most ser ions, the most important question that confronts the Southern larmei today. Think of it. Look at it, as applied to your own farm. Count up the cost of cultivation, and then set over against it t b e act u a 1 yield-! obtained. No dodging.

D. The rush of men on both sides of the Atlantic is towards the cities, However this is to be explained, the fact invests cities with an added interest. The best and the worst of the race will commonly be found in them, probably because the con stant contact intensifies tbe good or the bad in the individual. As we say, people "iive more" in the city than in the country; but to make the statemeut true we must define the "living." The city gives change, variety, excitement, pe- culiar fo: ms of pleasure, and ease in changing- Irom one thing to another. Bat whether the enjoy ment of these is "livimg" in any emphatic sense of that word is another question. The opposite word dying" might, in too many cases, be inserted. Of a large class it might be said: They left the quiet anil peaceable life of the country aud they died iu tbe city. Perpetual motion is not necessarily life, in tbe true sense of that word. Once London had a well marked section given ui to the "nobility and gentry." This is no longer tbe case. Places of business bas e come iu ; w ealthy people not yet ennobled or even genteel," have bought or built, and vou caouot distinguish between the residences of Lord Drawlingbroke and of Mr. Fatt ning, the successful butcher of Co vent Garden. So tlieie. used to be. alas ! large districts abandoned to poverty and vice, in some of which a decent looking stranger, within the memory of the writer, would be exnoseu ro some annoyance, n nor ueril. Thanks to a growing pu bl ic spirit, this IS 110 longer the case, uwic ocieeitt, nun n uiu uci less lanes aud alleys, are bought out, the rickety old buildings are flung down, a wide street graded and I paved aud the ground sold under, j we presume, fitting conditions. I The improvements thus effected within a few years are wonderful; and. while it is possible that some honest working people have had temporary inconvenience, iu the end they are bettered. The Tea body buildings, and numerous blocks in imitation of them, have provided safe, healthy and mod erately priced dwellings. What we should call a "block" is takeu ; back, front and stdes are covered with structures divided up into a -veilings of two, three aud four rooms, with water, proper vemila ion, outside open stairways, an office and local manager, whose duty it is to see that only respect able, i. e., law-abiding, decent i people are taken as tenants, and I what is of no little consequence wide-paved, healthy, wide spaces, not accessible to vehicles, oa which ' the children can improve the few shining hours given to Londoners, aud play in the ojen air. It is pleasaut to notice the contrast be tween the dirty, dingy aud uu savorv alleys tilled with ill clad, uuwashed human beings, and the oright, clean groups at play where mothers can look down on them from clear windows, oflen graced with flowers. Another feature of modern Lon don interests any one who cares to look into the conditions of his fellow-men As you go out OU tbe ; lines leading into the country, you see what would elsewhere stand for! separate villages grow up, quite as , quickly as in Xew "iork or Chicago. A man buys a big field or a Small : larm, lays it out in streets ot houses, two stories high, ol brick, and in a short time he has them with tenants working people one day's wages, say, paying the week's : rent, aud tbe facilities lor traveling making the place convenient for workiugmen. Even in Loudon, a fairly good three story house can be had for, say, a hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty dollars a year. Tiie parlor anil drawing room can be let, or a family can rent a floor, and the tenants are comfortable. It is not to be denied that the balance is here in favor of London as against the costly wooden structures too cold in winter and too hot in sum mer which one finds occupied by a corresponding class. say m Chicago. In tbe place of New York's ele vated roads, the Londoners have their "underground,'' less healthy ; but cheap, aud apparently indis pensible. The thoroughfares are well supplied with omnibuses, tram vays aud similar conveyances, and at very moderate rates. The nar iow and tortuous streets in the older portions of London make sur lace railroads impossible; but they aie coming into use on the gre it straight avenues as to Greenwich, and will ultimately become a Lon don institution, for all the newer portions of the ifietropolis are being consT i an ted w ith long and comuara lively straight and wide streets. A visitor, with bis hotel within a mile or so of Trafalgar Square, and do ing busiuess in the business parts ol London, meets all too often with males aud females too plainly o disieputable ways, and will carry away an unfair idea of the popula tion. Let him take the top of the tram," so they call the surface road cars and go out, for exam pb-. to I'msbury Paik, and he will ride ,or miles among dwellings, clean, neat, genteel, with trees and lioweis in their little nielosures, and with- out elicotin Ten ng anything moiul nlth of tin- Stl.Ulil H ay in ai ket . the t he Among tbe i ; ures of London tii ui t ij i.eat ion i ; in r iie.ising rA.

The multitudinous hospitals including the "Dental" a point we have not yet reached will be relieved of some of their buidens bv such arrangements. It is impossible to miss in London s )me suggestive signs and notices. Take the undertakers, lor example. Some intimate "reformed funerals." I noticed "funerals furnished,"' funerals provided,"' and ' funerals 1 performed." ' Still tbe English lan- guage is generally respected, aud one does not see '-gent's" dining room, as if only one could be ad mitted, as may sometimes be noticed among us. London gives a good impression of England and one can unu; mil the feeling of a working man -. ported iu one of the papers on the Jubilee who said as he looked up at a scailet garment of his wife's displayed from the window, by way of con tributing to the general joy: '-Well. ; England isn't played out y et, what ever them furriner.s may say." London, like some colossus, stands Where commerce from far distant lands Wafre treasures to her feet A human hive af workers, drones. Where kindly hearts and hearts like stones.

Representa tives of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and f the Lehigh Navigation Companies state that the same terms are now open to iheir taiaer3 that have alwa8 been of fered them, which is to resume work at tbeold wages and accept hatever ad- i-" vance warrant. If wors should be stopped in i the Lehigh region shall resume, the Ut- ter win. it is declared, receive a con ! siderable advance upon the basis of p.iy : but as the busy se;:son of the anthracite coal trade is over, the Lhih miners cannot expect to real ize such anadvanoe as the Sauylkill men have eDjoyed since September, amounting some months to as much as 21 per cent, over the ?2 50 basis. An officer of tbe Pennsylvania Riil road Company states that the Wyoming region is amply able to supply the an thracite market should the tekuy 1 k il 1 and Lehigh regions both become idle. This can be done, it is stated, with per fect ease, as the busy season in that trade has ended. As far as the Peun sylvania officials can see, there is no reason whatever for the scare which seems to exist concerning a coal famine. Dull of Comprehension. Tl;p people who can iot take a juke are luauy, but those who can see neithei I ' hair nor hide'' of it. to whom it is l absolutely invisible, are fortunately in ' the minority: but midway between the j two are tht btolidly literal people. I who always "speak by the card," and ; take every statement for just what it is worth on the surface. Ia short, they are always missing ihe point. A gentleman was once illustrating, in f a small company, the fact that the mind diseased takes on odd modes of action by the story of the lunatic who fanciel that he lived in a place and dined upon the choicest nianc's. In point of fact, he was confined to a ho-pkal, and h:s diet was restricted to gruel' "T dine every day upon the fat of tbe land." said tbe poor fellow, "and yet everything I eat tastes of gruel." When the story was finished, a pym pathetic lad, who had quite missed its point, exclaimed: "'Poor man! Too bad to feed a him on grutl ! Do you j suppose that's the fare in all the hos pitals V An overworked farmer, of a vivid imagination and nimble tongue one 1 morning called back hurriedly to his wife, as he took bis way to the field ".So. I can t go to town with you to- of potatoeB t0 dig before nicht. What can he mean':" speculated his literal wife, sn she w,-nt about her work. "I'm sure we never have more'u forty bushels, an" he could 't dig 'em in a day to save his life ! " She was not quite equal to the extrac tion ot the grain of wbe-it contained in that bushel of hy perbolical chaff. Another farmer one day said jocosely to a neighbor: "Don'tseem to pay to uo tbe hayin". Have to do it right over agin next year ! " "But what would the catt'e lire on if you didn't uj it'.'" inquired the mire literal man. "Do! Let 'em live ou faith, sr.ne's the rest of us have to do "You depend upon it. you'd lose more'n you'd gain," sal i the other, solemnly. "Critters have got to eat. and we've got to take c ire on 'em D an "t you turn your cattle id rift to shi: t for themselves. Er.en You won't gaio nothin' by it." Youth's C in pan ion. Fighting the Tenement System. PlTTsiiUKO. Pa.. Dee. -b Tue cigar makers of this district, to the number of 1.700 have organised a national cigar makers' trade district of the Knights of Labor for the purpose of ludidug the "tenement system." which is carried on extensively here. The nw ogani zation expect- the co operation of the International Union iu the coming con test, which will be verv bitter. It is proposed to brink; ail me workmen into b.c.ories and every tenement worker to join them, or else su-tain a boycoit. They will not interfere or court neon tbe: with th ' Interna',! .n il Union, but if members of that organization con tir.ue to do tenement work they will oppose thera and institute a boy cott. The m-mbers of tbe union have always an t iiion iz i the Knights, el urn lntr that they have not v.-oi ked in accord w ith them . an i rather pl ay e 1 ir.ro t he Iihh is of the manufacturers to defeat the Union.

But of these ways we don't care to speak, for it don't matter if one makes a fool of himself publicly the newspapers must not mention it.

Tne farm article which we copy this w.'tk from the Atlanta Constitution is a highly practical one and timely. It pre sents tbe point that we have often en deavored to impress uprm our farmers that of keeping accounts and being able to ascertain e.t the end of the year whether ur not a crop has paid. We , venture the r.-SL-rtion that there is not one hundred farmers in all this section that do this. They all, or a majority of them, know at the end of the year that they are not much better off than they were a year before, but how many of them can tell what portion of their lands paid and what portion did not pay? The profits mede on a ten acre, well manured cotton patch are often ex pended in cultivating twenty poorly manured acres. We do not presume to advise farmers, though we have had considerable experience in that busi Cfsi, but it does not require an expe rienced f arrr t-r to pass along the road nnd jujge whether or not a twenty acre fli-ld of cottou poorly manured is as good as ten well manured. We know th.it hundreds of farmers lose the profit made on a few good acres in trying to cultivate many other poor acres. And it does not requiro a Solomon to dis cern that such farming will not pay. Toe advice given in the article to which we refer is from a practical far mer; but if it were from a man who never saw a farm, it is good just the paj-.o and every farmer of good prac tical sense who reads it will say eo. Christrnao Exercises. Tiie M. E. Sunday school held their Crisimas exercises at the cburch Wed nesd -y night. A large crowd was priseot. Tho exercises consisted of n:u-ie. recitations, review of the school, itc. Familiar Sunday-echool songs were sung, and after a song Rev. Dr. Vass led in prayer. Next, and one of the most interesting features of the entertainment, was tbe review of the infant claes by Mrs, L. W. Crawford. The little children answered the questions promptly and showed evi 1 dence of good teaching. Mi. Crawford i an excellent teacher and a diligent worker in the Sunday-school. "A Child's Question " was recited by Miss Sadie Whitford. A very pretty and entertaining piece, and rendered in graceful style. After a song by tbe school, came a song and recitation, "Rock of Ages," by Misses Lottie Hubbs, Chattte Credle, Sophie Jones, Eala Xur.ii, Maria Cox. Carrie Arendell, IC-.tio Daniels, and Stella Robe.ts, in concert. It was beautiful aud impress ive. Thn i ftor another song Rev. L W. Ci a a ford proceeded to review the school i i the lessons of the last three ! umnih Tho canst important questions I of ?ach le.-rioa were asked aud promptly j a-.r a ertd by the pupils of the school. The r.-view was very interesting, and -ho.ved that great interest has been I taken in the sc'a-iol both by teachers j uUil tmiiils. ; ;bv.
