Ilelivi'rea liefore tha Iiirwers liisli-! . tute at Weeping: Water Marrh 1st, IMS1. Thnse vvlio first came to these prai ries of the vvfst, tel! us lliey were bril liant with flowers of every hue; that 'liia'ny a flower wad born to blush un seen and waste its sweelfiess on the ' deseri air." Uut they Lave fallen be tore the Aow of the fanner, and even w here the native soil still remains un ; disturbed, they are disappearing, and ! many kinds are i.ow very rare, if not extinct. Therefore if we wisli to r ; tain these ilts of beauty, that gave j such a charm to this lair laud, we j must cultivate flowers. l'oets have ! well -.railed them The Smile of God," I and "1'he ln try of Earth." We all have enough auil ur.se in our lives. , In welcome buie of its poetry; i know fanners or thtir wives have we i,u time to spend m useless thinj.s, but if we can be assured of value received. (DcboiiiI ! ! in cultivating flowers, then we look at j deadly pale, and his eyes, turned tremb them with more complacency ; we con-' upward, w ere wet with tears. As tend it pays in many w ays. A taste- j 'a he had not spoken. The silence ful arrangement of llowers. vines and ; could be felt; il hail become absolute shrubery adds a money value to anv ! b' painful until at last the spell was place; if we want to mako .-ur homes j broken, as if by an electric shock, as the dearest spot on earth to our chjt-; his rich toned voice syllabled forth, dren, and keep them l mm wandering i 'Our Father, which art in heavenetc, away from the pure and healthful in- with a pathos and fervid solemnity Ihiences of farm life, we must make that thrilled all hearts. lie finished; our homes attractive; what child would not love a home where llowers were growing indoors and out, when they were interested in their cultiva tion, by assisting in training them, and the vines climbing over the doors and windows, inhaling their fragrance and rejoicing in their beauty. But the garden is also a sanitarium; few people know what powerful curative forces are to be found there. Every tree and tlower breaths in sympathy with animal life, and every plant there 1 offers its service to any pair of lungs ready to receive. Wealthy invalids seek health among the mountains, or by the sea; but to thousands, wearried and worn, this pleasurable way of seeking health is impossible, no money to spare, no time, they are shut up to home duties. But why sigh for the mountains when we have the invigorating forces with in our reach; when the fresh air and sunlight are wailing to breathe their blessings upon us. Very many nerv ous affections would be relieved by an interested cultivation of dowers; house plants in w inter and correspond ing plants and shrubl?ry for summer growth. The above suggestions are not mere theory. We have seen the slender woman, worn and ill, become interested in her llower garden, and the pale face flush with health, before the lir.it se.ison was over. lint there are obsticles in the way; and truth jmk! candor compel us to notice some of these peculiar to Ne braska; first the want of fences, and second pigs. These indispensable adjuncts to a western farm, have a well rooted and grounded objection to the cultivation of flowers. Many an amateur flowerist has yielded to vexation and despair, when they have seen their beautiful llower beds destroyed, and the result -of so much care and toil a heap ol ruins. But I forbear. Language can not do it justice. Much might be said about the various kinds of flowers, those best adapted to general cultiva tion, and experience in their manage ment, but others here being so much better qualified to speak on these prticulars, we leave them to be brught out in the discussion of this subject.

VSir,' said he, in broken ac ceuts, 'you have afforded me a pleas ure for which my future life will feel grateful. I am an old man, and every day. from boyhood to the present time, I have repeated the Lord's pray- r; but I never heard it before, never!' You are right,' replied Booth, 'to read that pra er as it should be read, caused me the severest study and labor for thirty years, and I am far from satisfi ed with my rendering of that wonder ful production. Not one person in ten tlieusin 1 comprehends how much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can be condensed in a space so simple. That prayer itself sufficiently illus trates the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal of divinity.' " t'arlyle's Reminiscences. "By spjoUl arau 3inaut" with the American public, the Literary Revo lution will issue immediately a beau tiful Acme edition, elegant cloth bind ing, of tho "Reminiscences of Thomas Carly'e," price 30 cents, postage C cents, and it can be had of the nearly 2,000 booksellers who are agents of the Literary Revolution in all parts of the United States. Thomas Carlyle, more than any other man of the nineteenth century, taught the American public, and peo ple of good sense throughout the world, to despise pretense and hum bug" whether exhibited by monarch or menial. Sensible people, who want a good book at an honest price will buy it where they Grid it. There is in this country no law which gives to a foreign anther, as it gives to an American, the right of the monopoly Oi the publication of his book. If publishers choose to pay a foreign author anj'hing, they can do it owly as a "dunatien" because he can give them in ret tin- no protection from competition. Readers have the priv ilege of making such donation, if they choose to do so w Phout paying it t the publishers and trusting to the possibility of their paying it to the author for them. There is no dona tion included in the price above named.

Webster says "to adorn" is to set off to advantage; to render pleasing or attractive." Then the adornment of our homes is that which renders them pleasing ur attractive or sets them off to good advantage. That is we adorn to make beautiful. But what are the uses of beauty ? 1st, to please the senses, f ne eye and the ear, and there by induce an agreable state of mind making one more at peace with him self and his surroundings, In this respect the beautiful object must be iu harmony with the- attainments of the one to be pleased. Thus a picture which may please an uneducated youth may be an object of positive dislike to an artist; or the song the school girl sings grates harshly on the ear of the finished musician. 2nd. The training of the eye and ear, and through them tho intellec tual faculties, and the moral nature. In this second use object of beauty should be the most perfect of its kind, for it is by familiarity with per fection that we learn imperfection. Until the farmer used the perfect plow, he never knew how imperfect thy old one was. So by the daily contemplation of a beautiful object we learn what beauty really is, and are unconsciously brought up to a higher intellectual level. Following out. these theories why should we adorn our homes? First that the life we spend iu them may be more cheerful. Second that we may be induced to cul tivate tastes and faculties that would otherwise become dwarfed, that chil dren reared in such homes may reach higher intellectual attainments, that we may feel daily that there :s some thing better than food and raiment. Now, what adornments reach the de sired ends? In order that our lives are made more cheerful by them, they must be of a nature that shall pleas antly occupy a part of our time and thought in making or using them. Let the children be taught to make pretty things for the home, and they will soon learn to do it cheerfully and take pride in it. What boy will not take pride in making things when even his first exploit in making a stool, a stool a little shaky in the legs, and a little uneven in height is cor dially received with "That is very nice, I have some cloth that will make a splendid ctv.jr; I think I would cut that leg about half an inch shorter and you had better put a nTi.il here and one there, then this evening we will cover it in red and black and you can have it in your own room." Now that little shaky stool is really an ar ticle of adornment in his own room his home. And from this can he not be led to use taste an I skill in making many useful and le.iliy beau tiful articles of furniture or ornament in the house, and as he giov s older the larger and more substantial things needed in the dooryard to malce I hat attractive? Remember that a love for these things not only makes hi m happier and more cheerful in ym.: home, but fits him to make and enjoy a happy home of his own. Then the making and caring for , these things teach him many lessons in economy and carefulness.' It not only makes the home more attractive, but it adds to its cash value if one desiras to sell to have in the nicely sodded dooryard pretty trellises with climb ing vines, a litile arbor or summer house, evergreens plainly and fantas tically trimmed, llower beds neatly bordered with rustic edges and other beauties winch a cheerful mind will learn to invent and make with almvst no cost except a few odd hours woik. A family of growing sons and daugh ters will bemuch more likely to re main cheerfully in a beautiful home even if that beauty is extremely cheap and simple. And when we see the sous taught to make and keep home beautiful we shall not hear so much complaint that farmers' sons and daughters do not want to stay at home, that they hate the farm, and want ther business, so that when they are grown to be eilicient their parents are left to get along as best they can without them. We speak particularly of sons for if J.hey take real pleasure in their homesurronndings the daugh terssuiely will. Audit isa mistaken idea that on tlu mother and daughters depend all the attractions of indoor life; for how many girls make pretty tidies, rugs, cushions, biackels and ether things, having them ready to make their own homes pretty, and then find but little room to display them, or that they are called trash by their husbands. The sons mnst be taught to appreciate all that is dwne to make home pretty, then it will be a happy home. They must learn too that a well laid table with its clean cloth, shining dishes and knives, and glass and silver if it can be afforded, is an adornment to home which they cannot too hisjl ly appreciate. It not only makes the nicely cooked food taste letter but the cheerfulness such beauty induces adds greatly to our health. But the hurried tired wife and mother is so overworked that she cannot find time to make the dining table and herself pretty enough to be home adornments. Can't she if father appreciates it and kindly notices In r clean collar and pretty apron, and sets the example before the boys and hired met. of being clean and careful and putting mi a clean thin co.it (even if it is an old one) when he comes to the table well washed and combed? Then cannot some one get a boquet "perhaps of wild flowers or autumn leaves and beiiies) to brighten the table, sure that it will not be considered useless or in the way. When farmers and their wives learn to adorn their homes with articles of beauty, about which they can teach their childl'ou useful practical lessons on 50 CO CO then may we expect to find our best educated men and women among farmers' sons and daughters, as they have better facilities for such prac tical education than any other class of people. But some of our home adornments must really cost -money. So what shall we buy? Buy just what we need and nothing more, remembering our souls and minds need food and rai ment as well as our bodies. We need furniture, pictures and books; not be cause our neighbors have them, but to supply the desires of our higher moral natures. These we liuut buy with taste and economy or we cannot afford them at all. That is we would be bet ter off without them. A marble-top stand, a piece of good statuary, a costly oil painting are each beautiful iu their places, but they would look out of place in a room with batteied walls, ragged carpets, broken marred furniture, or a rusty stove. Better leave them out for we do not need them so much as we need a bright carpet, (though it be a home made rag one) a few really good pictures, and plain substantial furniture with plenty of books. Good' pleasant and instructive books are never out of place in the family sitting room, and should be there as an unfailing source of pleasure to all. Then if we have musical talent iu the family and can aiioru to cultivate ir, we need an or gan or other musical instrument, but unless it can be used iu training the ear to hive harmony rather than dis cord, it will be no adornment in the house and is not needed there. One of our neighbors, an English lady says, "when I see a house with vines grow ing ni it, I know there is peace in that home" and if house plants are con sidered as emblematical of peace, they certainly must not be omitted while furnishing our home To be sure they cost care time and money, to pro tect them from the frost, but they will amply repay it all by adding so much cheer to our homes. Many suggestions might Le made with regard to the architecture of the house and its situation on the farm as fanners can command superior ad vantages in this respect. A pleasant outlook from the windows adds much to the cheerfulness within doors, and can really be counted as a part of the home adornment, as it certainly rests and refreshes one very much to look from the care and toil and housework to pleasant fields and beautiful scenery. We find then that nothing ia out of place in our homes that helps us to love them or desire to make them better or that cheers us in our daily toil, and that we need every adornment that will help love and ad mire the beauty with which God has adorned our earthly home, and will help us lift our hearts and desires to the heavenlv home adorned with the Glory of God. Farmers' Meeting nt. Hastings. There was a full attendance of far '.iiers and others at the Alliance meet ing, on Saturday, at Liberal Hall. The proceedings were orderly, the business w..s done in very parliamentary sh;.pe, aud the speeches would do credit to professional speakers. Very naturally, they had looked much more closely at their side of the question discussed, and the intensity with which they had looked at them very likely shut out a full comprehen sion of the considerations beating on the other side. But this is only what, is incident to the discussions and spir- it of any gathering of a particular profession or class in society. There is precisely the same reason for farmers to unite in organizations tor their own improvement or benefit as there is for such organizations of . editors, lawyers, doctors, or teachers. And there is no reason why they may not reap as. much advantage from such organization as any ether class. Indeed, we are inclined to believe that, inasmuch as they have not availed themselves of the advantages of orga nization so much as some other class es, there is therefore somewhat more room for advantage in that direction. Like all others, in similar conditions, they will find it imposiblo ts make every body else see things just as they do; and, after a time, they will cease to feel that anybody is necessarily wrong iu head or heart who does not exactly agree with them. It may even happen that they will, by and by, look upon some of their present views as a little one-sided and chimerical and come to regard them somewhat as the grown up man does the theories of his budding boyhood, when he thought himself so much wiser than his father. But these farmers on Saturday, cer tain;' did credit to themselves and their profession. Friend Hill threw out some sentiments savoring some what of communism and independent politics. But they manifestly were not the sentiments of the majority. They brought out protests from sever al quarters, both in the meeting, and after its close. We therefore bid these earnest farmers a hearty God speed, and trust their organization may steer clear of the rocks aud quicksands on w hich so many similar organizations have foiin uered, and tend powerfully to raise up and produce what, seems to us the best type of humanity not a "gentleman," fin the ordinary limited sense iu the country, but in a br&ader, truer sense, a race of Country Gentlemen a race of stalwart cultivated, refined, pros perous tillers of the soil with broad shoulders, strong intellects, compre hensive views, a sensitive consc ence, and unpolluted, honest hearts.
