If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute daily food, and one of you sav unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful for the body; what doth it profit James ii 16, 16. An old ladv sat in her old arm-chair. With wrinkled visage and dishevelled lmir.

And hunger-worn features For days and for weeks her only fare. As sho sat there in her old arm-chair. Had been potatoes. But new they were gone of bad or good Kot one was" left for the old lady's food Of those potatoes And she sighed and said, What shall Ido? Where shall I send, and to whom shall I go For more potatoes Anil she thought of the deaeon over the way, The deacon so ready to worship and pray. Whose cellar was full of potatoes.

Anil she said: I will send for the deacon to come Hell not mind much to give me sonio Of such a store of potatoes. An 1 tho deacon came over as fast as ho could. Thinking to do the old Indy somo good, But never for onco of potatoes Ho asked her at onco what was her chief want, Ancl she, simple soul, expecting a grant. Immediately answered lotatoca. But tho deacons religion didn't lie that way, Ho was moro accustomed to preach and to Than to give of his hoarded potatoes So, not hearing, of course, what the old lady said.

He rose to pray, with uncovered head. But sho only thought of potatoes. pmv. prayed for patience, and wisdom, and graco, But when he prayed Lord give hcr peace, CUa wiwlil.lif eknl 4 fllfTO nnf atAOC Sho audibly sighed. Give potatoes: And at the end of each prayer which he said heard in its He heard, or thought that he stead, Tho samo request for potatoes.

Tho deacon was troubled lie knew not what to do, Twns very embarrassing to have her act so About these carnal potatoes. So, ending his prayer, he started for home; But, as tho door closed behind him, he heard a deep groan, give to the hungry potatoes And that groan followed him all the way home In the midt of tbe night it haunted his room give to the hungry potatoes no could bear it no longer; arose and dressed; From his well-filled collar taking in hasto A bag of his best potatoes. Again he went to the idows lone hut Her sleepless eyes she had not yet shut But there sho sat in that old arm-chair. With the same wan features, the same sad air. And, entering in, lie poured on the fioor A bushel or more from his goodly store Of choicest polatocs.

Tho widow's heart leaped up for joy Her face was haggard and wan no more, Now, said the deacon, shall we pray Yes, said tho widow, now you may. And he kneeled him down on the Bundl'd fhior. Where lie had poured his goodly store. And such a prayer the deacon prayed As never before his lips essayed No longer embarrassed, but free nnd full. Ho poured out the voice of a liberal soul.

And tno widow responded aloud But said no more of potatoes. And would you, who-hear this simple tale. Pray for the poor, and praying, prevail, Then preface your prayers ith alms and good deeds Search out the poor, their wants and their needs Pray for peace, nnd grace, and spiritual food. For wisdom, and guidance, for all theso nro good, But dont forget the potatoes. Merldex, 1871.

Of this poem a fragment of a charity sermon, preached in Dorchester, some twelve or fourteen years ago John XV hit-tier wrote It is more valuable than some epics. I am not sure but it is more to tho Masters purposo than any- learned theological tome which has been published since it was written. You can buy Irish Linens, ligncs anil whito goods of every description cheaper at the Ladies than elsewhere in the city. Not Catching. Tho following iittlo story is told at the expense of a young lady school teacher in Altoona, xvho is very properly anxious in regard to tho proven tion of in hcr school, and thereforo strictly enforces tho rule that whenever a case of sickness is reported in tho family of any ono of hcr pupils must bring a certificate from tho family physician stating that tho diseaso is not contagious, failing in which tho pupil must remain away until all danger is over.

A few days ago sho was informed that ono of hcr pupils, a iittlo girl of Teutonic extraction, had sickness in her family. On being questioned, tho girl admitted that sho had sick at hcr house, that hcr mother was sick, and that sho had marks oil hcr face. Sho was accordingly sent home. Sho returned in a few days, however, and reported that her father was sick. Sho xvas again sent Home, xvith orders not to como again without a certificate from tho family physician.

Th next day sho returned to school anil shyly sliding np to tho teacher, xvith hcr finger in her mouth, and hcr Iittlo bonnet swinging by the strings, said Miss wevo got a lectio baby at our house, but mother told me to tell you that it isnt catchin. The teacher said sho was very glad it wasnt catching, and told hcr pupil to take hcr scat. Tho finest assortment of Parasols in tho city can bo found at the Ladies Bazaar. Prices low.

Certainly Mr. Dixon 00 Tbat is bo drcw SG000 from lbc is well fitted for the position and his Government which did not belong to name would give strength to tbo kim, and has never restored the money. pie. Thejinquiry is pertinent, be cause out of some thirty or forty names suggested for tho State aad Congressional places to be filled next November, I have observed but one who is a real practical farmer. All the others aro editors, doctors, law yers, etc.

Thcso are all worthy pro- fessions. It should bo no objection that an aspirant for political position a member of cither of them. And undoubtedly as private citizens they generally take a moro active part in public matters, and better understand them, than tho farming portion of tho non-professional community and thcroforo aro generally better qualified for tho discharge of public duties. This has come to ho so much the un dorstanding, that young men bent on attaining political fame and distinc tion, enter tho professions as tbe readiest avenue to official position especially tho legal profession. Nevertheless, tho practice of selecting from tho profession, is becoming to exclusive.

It is crowding tbo professions, too much with merely ambitious youth and giving us too many merely professional politicians. This is one of the bad tendencies of carrying tho practico too far. Another is its so ductivo influence on ambitions youth in leading them to shun tho dignified and independent avocation of farming. Certainly tho time is opportune for the introduction of moro of that sturdy and incorruptible honesty almost in-seperablo from tho avocation of the farmer, into tho conduct of our public affairs. To do this farmers, otherwise well qualifiedf should bo considered at a premium rr.ther than a discount, in apportioning tho honors to bo distributed by the pec pie.

Frank M. Dixon, of Cole county, is such a farmer. Re is just enton ug on that period termed the prim of life. In politics, ho has never known or practiced anything but Democracy. Re was educated at Willi am Jewell College.

Ro is one of tho farmers in Colo county; and ono of the foremost stock-raisers in Central Missouri, lie is now President of tho Colo county Agricultural and Mechanical Association. Mr. Dixon enjoys an extensive acquaintance throughout tbo State, especially among the more enterprising farmers; and few men arc moro highly esteemed by friends, neighbors and acquaintances, for all those qualities which go to make up tho truo patriot and inan, than bo. I propose him for tbo offico of State Register of Lands. Ris qualifications arc unquestionable, bis Democracy of tho purest water, and not only because of bis extensive acquaintance among tlic farmers, but because bo is one of tho best representatives of the class in tbo his name would give strength to the Democratic ticket.

Central Missouri. From Colman'i Rural World Influence of Manufactories One would think, from the experience acquired in more than two and a half centuries on this continent of town and city building, that tho necessity of building manufactories first would bo apparent to even tho most superficial observer. In too many instances, wlicro enthusiasm has exceeded tho wisdom of many good citizens, dwelling-houses havo been erected on tho fictitious assumption that buildings alone wero necessary to constitute a city. Such towns as this system spoken of will create, can very appropriate! bo likened to a body without a soul. What the soul is to the body, manufacturing interests arc to the town.

Among many instances that might bo quoted, a few will suffice. Tho city of Springfield, Ohio, has within tho past ten years moro than doubied its population, wealth, and tho amount of its manufacturing enterprises. In fact tho almost miraculous growth of this city is an instance of tho magic potency of manufacturing interests in developing wealth, not only iu tho city, but tho adjacent country. In no less than six of tho leading towns of lho samo slate, wlicro tho manufacture of agricultural implements has been made a speciality, it has moro than doubled tho population of lho cities and tho average wealth of tho enliro counties in which they are situated. In these instances, tho short-sighted policy of building dwelling-houses instead of manufactoricsTias not held its ruinous sway.

With an intelligent foresight worthy of universal imitation, they havo built manufactories, knowing- full well that within tho sound of their 6tcain whistles dwelling-houses would rise up like an exhalation, and that lho demand for them would bo met by an adoquato, if not a plethoric, supply. Tho great want of tho West is moro manufactories. Let tho producer and consumer shake hands. Let tho gi gantic railway corporations, which aro already dictating terms to both consumer and producer, bo assigned to their truo position, that of servants instead of masters. Let manufactories of all kinds bo established wherever there is a suitablo location, and let each of theso make a speciality of some ono or two things.

In this way a greater dc-greo of perfection will bo more likely to bo attained in their manufacture than if too many kinds aro attempted. CROP PROSPECTS. Tho poaches arc considered safe in southwest Missouri. Reports from Calumet and Buffalo townships, Pike county. say tbat the peach crop will bo about an average ono this year.

Tolk county farmers predict a gobd fruit crop, but shako their heads over tho wheat prospect. Tho Marshal Progress represents the wheat prospect as first rato in Saline county.

Wo havo all been hearing lately that ho was dangerous. As tho pet Iamb of the God and morality party, tho thing was incomprehensible. But it appears that Grant was only on a bust that is, light.

It really was not the delirium tremens, hut it really was not very different. When the madam was at homo ho was maintained in very respectable condition at least so far as tbo public know.

Tho only time ho has been out the wholo week Was when ho went to tbo circus. Ris brother-in-law Casey, of New Orleans, was at the Wliito houso early in tho evening. They had both been drink ing, and Grant insisted npon going to tho circus. All of Caseys arguments to the contrary wero in vain tho President insisted, and arm inarm the two started out. They attracted attention all along, as they walked to the show, but their condition shortly after arrival thcro was possilivcly beastly.

If any ono other than tho President of the United States had appeared thus drunken in a place of public entertain ment, ho would havo been thrown out and handed over to tho polico.

They wero apparently willing Carl Schurz should defraud tho Government, so long as he concealed the frauds and corruptions of others, and upheld the great patron of fraud and corruption, Grant himself. This, wc say, is the correct aspect of tho affair, if the charge against Carl Schurz bo true. But the charge has been simmered down to this lhat ho had no right to draw tho lawful salary for the lull time bo was Minister to Spain. To sustain construction, they aro forced to claim that tbe tirao abscnt from tho Spani8h capita, 8bonld bc deducted. lf lLU -I8 gooJ doctrine for Schurz it is good doctrine for Grant and all his offico holders.

Take Grants case as an illustration. Annually, during his three years in tho Presidency, ho has absented himself at least three months in each year from Washington. Re has a thirty thousand dollar house at Long Branch, where ho goes every Summer to reside. Yet it has never boen suggested that Grants salary ought to have been deducted for these absences. So his leading office holders absent themselves from their posts, working for fheir master, and these slanderers of Schurz see no wrong in it.

Schurz was entitled while Minister to Spain to tho full salary fixed by law for such Minister; as much as Grant is entitled to his full salary as President while occupying tho Chief Magistracy. This is indisputable and if this he true, the Government, as appears from a statement of the proper officer, is indebted to Schurz nndj not ho to the Government. So it appears lhat in this caso the only thing developed is the meanness of Schurzs slanderers. They know where to find tho genuine article. Why don they 7 Tho answer is very plain.
