Daniel Needham, of Groton, before the Hampshire, Franklin and Hampden Agricultural Society, at Northampton, Oct. 3, 1867. "The. history of the world has estab lished the startling fact, that labor without education is mere brute force ; and that ia proportion only as labor is edu cated, does civilization advance, and do communities of men lift themselves above the level of barbarism. Educated labor is that labor into which thought, observation and skill are introduced ; labor which combines the head and the muscles; labor which studies the ele ments, and taking them from their nor mal conditions, uses them in a more rapid production of growth, or a larger and better production of vegetable and animal substance. "In our own country, and especially in New England, one of the most serious embarrassments to the education of labor, has arisen from the divisions of society into classes, which have been professional and industrial. The professional has been almost exclusively limited to medicine, law and Iheologj-; while the industrial has embraced everything in agriculture, mechanics and commerce. The professional has trained its minds in the school and nniversities for particular departments, and years of close study and observation have been given by every man intending to adopt a professional occupation. Nothing has appeared to society more ridiculous than an attempt to practice either law, medicine or theology, without a course of trained systematic study. So strong has been and still is this feeling, that a young man adopting either of these professions without this systematic training is regarded as a quack, and is exclnded from fellowship and recognition by those who are filling professional callings. In these learned professions, as they are called, a literature of enormous extent has grown out of each profession, and so distinctly individualized is this literature, that the physicians would seldom think of seeking entertainment in the library of the lawyer, or the lawyer in the library of the theologian, and the theologian in the library of either lawyer or physician. Farther than this, even. Each of these professions has a nomenclature peculiar to itself. And the doctor puzzles the ' lawyer, and the legal phrases of the lawyer are riddles to the doctor, whilst the clergyman often leaves not only lawyer and doctor, but his whole parish in a mist at the close of some doctrinal discourse. This division of knowledge has been successful in developing great culture in the profes sions; and so distinctly marked are tue men, that in no case could you fail in a five minutes conversation to discover to which, if either of the three, your traveling companion belongs. In fact, it is no uncommon thing, to be able to recognize either , profession in the gait or carriage of the man. May we not inquire, why is this ? The members of the three professions who are successful, devote not only youth and early manhood in prepara tion, but a life time in the accomplishment of a given purpose. But for the education of those men who are produc . ers of the material wealth of the coun try, where have been our schools am universities? Where our text book and systems of instruction ? "A farmer has a son to whom he df sires that agriculture should be made s employment, and another son for who:

1ICHM0IB

JUST AND FEAR NOT! LET ALL RCHMOIVI, be intends theology or medicine. The first boy be sends into the fields with his hired man from day to day. No particular pains are taken to give him instruction in farming, farther than knowledge of the use of farming imple ments. The names of the tools, the time for sowing grains and seeds, the time for harvesting these become familiarized to his mind by observation, and they often embrace the entire farming education. He is not taught in the use of chemistry, entomology, botany, or in any of the other sciences, as part of the preparation to his farm life. On the contrary, his observation teaches him that his father farms independently of books or scientific knowledge ; that his father regards experience as the only teacher, and that he looks upon educat eil labor, book rarminsr, &9 it is some times called, as a series of blundering, by men whose minds are incapable of a practical business training. Of course, here in New England, no one fails to ap preciate a common school education as preliminary to all the labors of life. A farmer must buv and sell so that a a knowledge of arithmetic will be decidedly useful; he must write, because he will keep accounts and dates ; but beyond these simple rudiments, it is not easily seen how a large amount of learning can be made practically useful. 'The farmer must study and be edu cated in his business ; and if it is to raise cattle or produce wool, or rear horses, he must use all the helps which the knowledge of the world has treasured for him. No man can afford to depend entirely upon his own experience. If by trying twenty processes, some neighbor has failed in nineteen, and seenred a result by the twentieth, let us adopt the twentieth and go forward. Knowl edge is power to the farmer when he uses it; never otherwise. "The first thing that we have to do, then, is to make farmers believe that education can benefit them profession ally ; that a knowledge of anatomy and physiology will enable them to understand more fully the laws of breeding ; and will materially aid them in developng and producing better animals, animals from the production of which they can realize more money with the same labor ; to make farmers believe that the knowledge of the cause is indispensable to the production of a certain result." The Golden Rule. "Uncle Joseph, Uncle Joseph, please tell us what makes every one like you so well?" This was asked by some half dozen bright eyed, eager-looking little fellows, who clustered around a white haired old man, with a very pleasant face. Indeed, Father Time had left his marks there deep and strong ; but it was a very true and clear letter of praise, that those who ran might read. Uncle Joseph answered, "Why, boys ; what has come over you to ask me suoh a question as that?" One little boy answered, "Well uncle, I'll tell you. We were talking with father about you, and I asked him what made everybody like you so well ; and he told us to come to you ; he thou vou would ten us tue secret. xow m.a at a . T please do." Then the old man said "Well, boys, this is the secret: I have always tried to do by others as I would wish others to do by me. This is a good rule and very easy to understand, and those who practice it cannot be very far out of tbegway. I was always a quiet, thoughtful boy, and perhaps for that reason was more inclined to think of others than some of these wide awake little fellows are. "But look here," boys, you come , and sit with me under the shade of this beautiful elm tree, and I will telljou what happened to me when I was quite a young man, which I think has made a life long impression upon me. "Well, to begin, as the story-tellers say, when l was a young man 1 lived far away from here, in a hilly country, and very near where 1 lived there was what is called a mountain gorge, which was some ten feet wide. Now to get on the opposite side one must travel some four or five miles ; so the neighbors con cluded to have a bridge built, and each one that crossed pay toll, and in that way to pay for the bridge and keep it in repair. As I lived nearer to the bridge than any one else, they voted that I should be toll gatherer. This was not a very arduous task, as there was not a great deal of travel in that region', and very seldom any one wished to cross the bridge after ten o'clock at night. O, I must not forget to tell you there was a gate at one end of the bridge which was kept locked at night, and no one could cross without they came and roused me ap ; but I always kept a light

WAYIVE CO., IjVD., in the window to guide the traveler to the house. One day we had a heavy pouring rain all day, and as night came on, instead of stopping, it seemed to increase in violence. The wind blew hard, and I thought to myself This is, indeed, a fearful night; but it isn't probable there will be any travelers out to-night ; however, I put my light in the window and went to bed about ten o'clock. I cannot say how long I had slept, when I was aroused by a heavy knocking atThe door. I got up and opened it as soon as possible. There stood a man who seemed to be completely drenched with rain. I asked him to come in, but he said, Young man, I am sorry to trouble you, but I am very v anxious to cross the bridge to night, and would like to have you open the gate for me.' I tried to persuade him to come in and stop till morning ; but he said he could not think of it, as he had a child on the other side who was very sick, and he felt that he must go. So I took a lantern and the key, and went out to let him across ; but when we got where vhe bridge had been, we found it was blown away. Then the stranger gazed in astonishment, and exclaimed, 'What shall I do V what shall I do? I fear my child will die before I can get to it.' Then I said, 'Friend, there is a place a few rods above here where I have often waded across in pleasant weather. If you will get upon my back &nd trust yourself with me, I can get you across safely.' He said, 'Willingly, willingly, young man, if you are disposed to undertake it. So I took him upon my back ; but as the water was quite deep, I had to use a great deal of caution and care; out at last x got mm saieiy upon the opposite bank. When I put him down he offered me a well filled purse I thanked him and said I wished for nothing but the regular fee. As I spoke I looked towards him, and a hakrof light seemed to surronnd his head as he repeated these words 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me,' and he was gone. "How I got back and into my bed again 1 nave no recollection, in tne morning: when I got up my light was burning in the window as usual. The ram had ceased, and I looked out to view the ruin caused by the late storm, when lo and behold ! there stood the bridge, apparently as strong and defiant as ever. Anen I knew my labor of love had been 'all a dream ;' but, boys, it left an indelible impression upon my mind, and after that I was more inclined than ever to do good as I had opportunity. "I hope you will profit by the secret I have told you. Try to do as you would be done by ; it is a very easy rule to follow. If you are inclined to do wrong just stop and think, would I like to have another do so to me? That will decide it, and then you must do the right thing "Boys, I am an old man now; but let me tell you that I never found anything that would yield better than the practice of the Golden Rule." How Shall Nominations be Made ? As the time approaches for the opening of the coming political campaign, the question which heads this article is very frequently discussed, not only.'i the public journals, and among po' -cians, but by the people also; and this is especially Hue of this Congressional District, where so many of different views of the question are entertained, and where the selection of a candidate for Congressional honors is already be ing somewhat extensively agitated. The re-districting of the State by the last Legislature has left the district without a district organization ; in fact that por tion of the district which formerly constituted a part of the old fifth, has been without such organization, since the time whereof the memory of man scarcely runneth to the contrary. But, in the old district, the mode of nominat ing had become a fixture and needed no organization to put it into operation. But it is not so with the new district, for the different counties composing it en tertain very widely different views of the subject, if we are to judge from th eir former practices. Hence the ne cessity of an organization. There need be no trouble about this question, for it is one of easy solution, and upon strictly Republican and popuar principles. Each county should be allowed to exercise their proportionate power in their own way. Therefore we would suggest that, as there will early in January be mass meetings in each county to appoint delegates to the Stat Convention, and to reorganize counts and township committees, at these mas meetings. Each county should appoin a Congressional district committeeman The committee should as soon there after as practicable meet at some centrr ocality and, for facility of access, w would suggest Connersville as the plac ' .

Let them determine the number of delegates to which each township in the district would be entitled, based upon the Republican vote of each township in 1866. Then let them declare that the time and the manner of selecting such delegates, or the mode of expressing a choice of candidates, shall be left with each county to determine through their county Central Committee, The counties of Wayne, Fayette and Union could adopt their old plan of the popular vote on the first Monday of April, and the other counties could adopt the mode heretofore employed by them.' When the Convention met, the delegates from the counties which adopted the popular vote would of course be required to cast the vote of their townships in accordance with the popular vote taken in each township. In thisway every county has a choice of methods, and surely no one can- be wronged, and the people secure their choice, and harmony is preserved in the party. In all probability there will- be but two candidates competing for the nomination, and we are sure neither can complain of the proposed plan. So far ns Union county is concerned, we will in all probability adopt the popular vote system, and tbe first Monday of April, both for Congressional and county nominations, as our people desire to have a voice in tue matter. Ana tins, notwithstanding some of the heretofore advo cates of the system are mclineil to abandon it. since thev begin to doubt whether it will longer answer their pur pose. Liberty Herald. The second battle of Bull Run, was one of the most severe repulses which the Uuion armies sustained during the war. In it we lost seven thousand men killed and wounded. The defeat wa caused by the neglect of Fitz John Por ter. who purnoselv failed to go So the assistance of the straggling Union artsy, although only a few miles distant and having under his command sixteen thousand fresh troops, lie was. tried for his great crime by a military court, found guilty and cashiered.

His design has been te be reinstated to his former rank in the army ; a hope in which he might reasonably indulge, in view oi tue policy aaoptea oy tne administration with regard to criminals-, To prevent any such act, a bill has been introduced in Congress which forbids the re-instatement of a military officer, when his dismissal was approved by a courtmartial, except by a new appo:ntir icnt confirmed by the Senate. The bill passed the House by a vote of 116 yeas to 34 nays. It will probably jjass tbe Senate by a proportionate majority.

At present Louisville favorsthe head punchers. New Mexico is getting ahead in grape culture. A recent letter says that dop ing the past Fall more wine, and of abetter quality, was made by the viz growers of the valley of the Rio GrsafSethan ever before. They seem to haveawakened to the idea that wine is here after to be one of t'ie principal stapJesof the country. The grape grows laxtriantly, and, owing to the conditions of soil and climate, has a thin 6kin, and isdevoid of that musty taste so commo to most American grapes. At tbe In dian pueblo or village of Jsleta, more grapes are raised than at any other town on the Rio Grande, save El Paso. A negro in Anson County, N. C, voted the Conservative ticket. The pale faces thereabout were so delighted with the gentleman's patronage that they gave him forty acres of land. Forty acres for a vote indicates either a wonderful scarcity of Conservative votes or most wretchedly poor land. Probably the latter sliced from the tract where the more a man owned the nearer he was to starvation. - , , Seymour D.

TP here exists, about a m.le west of Fremont, Otio, a remarkable under ground stream1,-with a swift current, and no outlet above the-surface this side of Lake Erie. It was- discovered several years- ago on a farm north of the four-mile house, now owned by widow Sheffer, by a maty who was returning from a day's chopping in the woods. In walking over a slightly sunken place he noticed a hollow sound, and turning., struck the the ground with his axo. The axe broke through and disappeared, and never has been heard from since. Further investigation showed a rock about six feet below the surface, with a crevioe a foot or more wide, in which water could be seen several feet below. By tracing its course further and breaking through tbe crust the iflme phenomenon- appeared again, and by dropping a piece of wood or other substance in the upper apperture it was soon seen to pass to the lower one, showing a strong current. A lead and line let down to the depth of seventy feet found no bottom. The supply of water is only slightly affected by drouth ; and a pump set up in one of the places above mentioned has furnished the ptirest water to the whole neigBorhood during the latte dry season.--Fremont Journal. Wasteful Culture. The sraall farmer system has been the making of the North. But of late years onr western States, such as . Minnesota and California, has offered cheap land, which have been found peculiarly adapted to the growth of wheat. Consequently, every effort has been made, and laudably too, to extend ad enlarge our annual wheat production until it i assuming superb proportions. But haste makes waste, and we find in the last monthly report of the United States Department of Agriculture a statement that the-present system of wheat culture in the northwest is a ruinous one. The desire ts expand the present production is impoverishes the soil. Hasty plow ing irregular sowings and imperfect drilling, give weed a good a chance as wheat. Year following-year in thia manner increases the weeds and decreases the grain- until now Minnesota-, which a few years ago claimed twenty-two, and eveav twenty-seven bushels ta the acre, avow scarcely average twelve. " "Then the straw by millions of tons is born ed wasted)-, the seed- is not carefully selected it deteriorates. Everything poiDttoa rapid declh Lrstead of advance in. this vast interest if radical changes are not urged and made. Careful old England averages twenty eight bushels of wheat to the acre. Gold Fish. The Scientific American publishes the following-. For each quart of wrter only one fish, as gold fish can not thrive if erowdvd. Do vot change the source of water; whether from weli or hydrant. In summer renew it daily; in winter only every second or third day. Shallow glass dishes. should not be used. They should be deep and kept in the shade, strong light aad a heated room being detrimentral to the fish. TLc bot tom of the globe should be covered with smooth gravel te retain the sediment and keep the water clean. In changine the water for cleaning the globe, you ehould take the fish out with foe net, but never with the hand. Do not feed them with bread or cake or any food con taining tannin; but grre them ant eggs, flies, yolkr of eggsr water creases, tfce., once ia three or four days, and then sparingly. In November, December, January, and February, they should not be fed at all, as this is their hybernating season, when food is unnatural. In March, April, and May they should be fed scantily. If these rules are followed the aquarian ornaments of your homes will live and thrive for many years.
