The work ol haying is veil nigh over and wo cau begin to think ol something else. The season uromises to be fairly prosperous. Tears will jield a short crop and bo will grapes, but we shall have apples enough to mate up. me iiay crop m yuuu uu u is looking well wun an area luuvu larger than nsnal. Most farmers IcaTe more or less weeds to mature their seeds among the potatoes and the corn, i nw makes ima woi &. t o know lots where, this year, the work of cultivating crops is at least double what it bhould be, on account of allowing the weeds to thed a my riad of fieeds last vear Now it is a good plan, and in tbe end it is good economy, to go turougu tne neias aua pun up mt weeds before they ripen and bhed tbe seeds. A day a work in this way may eavo a half a dozen days labor neit year, to nay nothing of improving the growth of the crops. If your fields are covered w ith the ox-eye daisy, wouldn't it pay to plonch it in deep and manure well ? That will root it out if the work is thoroughly done, and ve know of no better way of getting lii of it. Uy going oer the stubble lands with the harrow, the Reeda of weeds that have been scattered will soon germinate, when the plough will easily kill them. Any way to destroy weeds is letter than none, aud it is worth trying. Angust is comparatively a leisure month. Not that there is not enough to do, but that the work of haying ii cner. as a general thing, and the "harvesting of other crops is not jet pressing. There is time to dig a few ditches, to lay a few drains, and to clear up a few bushes in the pasture. We took occa sion, a short time ago, to allude to the shrubs and bnsbes along the old walls. You can do something at clearing up these, can't jou? Thtre is generally lelt a little headland along these walls that is not touched by the plough and other tools. It has been lttt there, jear alter year, for nobody knows how long. What a lot of good loam for compost you might dig out heic, and at the tame time how much inaUr it would make the old wall look! That is a fine meadow down there. Couldn't it le got into cranbt mta ? They pay better than any other crop, and if they cost something at the outset, it won't be long before you will get it back again. To get cranberries in well, you should take off the top bod or turf and remove it to the bor der ot the meadow where it may be piled up to winter, whieh will preiwre it in the best manner for the cow yard. This is an expen sive jub in many places, especially on those lands that can't be ploughed, but then it will give an tnoruious quantity of staff for the jard, and many farmers think it will pay for removing. Iheu you want to get on au inch or two ot sand or gravel Of the two we are ! inclined to think gravel the betsL lVrhaps ! you can't get thU on now. If the surface is soft it would be difficult, and it might be cbeajwrto let the burface freeze and then gravel it, say the latter pajt of Dvc ember, or upon the ice in winter. In spring yon can go ahead setting out the vines, and if they aro taken care of fur a year or two, jou ought to g-t a pretty good crop the third year. The cranberry will proltabl always be a paying crop, 'lhe demand for it is con stantly lucreaiing, and we see no reason to ! suppose it will not be higher ten years hence than it is now. It is a good time to get out a few of thoso rocks that have bothered ho much in the mowing lot. We have known a mowing machine to be injured to the extent of fi or ten dollars by a rock tLat might have been removed in live minutes. It pays now to cle ar up thofce old fields, and suppose jou take the crow-bar, and the pick, and the spade, end try a few of the boulders. If you can't easily get them out, perhaps you can sink them beneath the plough. Any way to get rid of them, and now la the tiuiw to consider how it maj' be done As to the bushes in the jiaiture it is not an easy matter to gpt rid ol them, blill by sticking to them they will gradually ditn pear under the stub ecv the, and the pasture will carry more stock and better. We con eider this one of the most important after haying jobn, on many ef our New England farms, though to the Ubtiug credit of many good farmers, it must le Raid that their pas tores are always kept in good condition. Ploughing lor winter grains and for fall seeding may go forward this month. lion't faU to do this in the most thorough manner. Especially should lands that are to bo seedt-d down to grass be cultivated well. It does not pay to lay down land oorly. It may have to grow grass for j ears, and there is the trouble with the mowing, year after year, tbe wearing upon the patience, and the try ing of lhe temper, all of which you can now prevent by a little extra care. Every farmer ought to have a good roller. It need not be a very expensive one. It need not cost fifty dollars, like that splendid and heavy one that you saw in the warehouse the other day, but some kind of a roller eery good farmer ought to have, and he ought to use it too, on his new needed lands at the time of laying them down, and on his old mowing lauds everj year, as early in the spring as it is possible to get on with cattlo without "poaching." It maken n, wonderful difference in the growth of the grass, to say nothing of pros sing down the loose stones that may have been brought to the surface by the frost. You can take a few drag plank, nch as you would use for making a stone-1oat or drag, but shorter, and gne them more "pitch," or inclination than the drag usually has, so as to prevent dogging Uy loading on a few stones to gie it the required weight it makes a very good roller, that is. it per forms the work of the roller in giting u per fectly smooth and level surface. Try it uud you will find it works exceedingly well. Don't furget to build up that compost heap The droppings in the cow-jard need to be covered up or otherwise protected from these hot suns. It is astouisbiDg how much may be saved by carefully looking alter tbeso little details. Indeed the thrift of a farmer may be aid to depend ujwn them. It is a Eource of great fcati-fjction to see every thing looking neat and tidy about the house and tbe yard, about tbe barn and tbe fences. It is nlout time to think of feeding up any animals that you intend to fatten this fall. The eamo amount aud quality of food goes farther now than it will later in the season. VOL. LT. NEW SERIES.

She had stolen up behind him noiselessly, she had snatched the loaded pistol from his desperate hand and hnrlt d it through the open window into the buv below. And not one in stant too soon to sae him from the crime of self-detd ruction. He whirled around upon her, and they stood hieing each other wun eyes naming defiance. How like, j. t unlike, were these fierce, beautiful creatures twin sister and broth er ! She, with her slender, well-rounded, lis som form ; with her small, fine features and clear, deadly-pale yellow face, darkened by great, deep, hollow black eyes ; the whole over-shadowed by heavy, clustering auburn curls a subtle, wistful face. He. somewhat taller, fuller, and moresnp ple, like another human snake, of a little larger growth, with a paler complexion, darker ej es and darker hair. They w c ro the orphan niece and nephew of ChiistopherCojle, Enquire, an old bachelor living on his ancient patrimonial estate ot Cavelund in the North ot England. Now they stood glaring at each other a full minute in silent menace. Then both spoke at once : Aspirita !" 'Urandon ! "How d.ired you stop me ? "How dared iox rai.e your hand against yourown life?" I dare do what I phase," he answered. sulkily. ' So do I e xcept except to rush from life to death from the known to the unknown !' Ehe retorted solemnly. "There cau 1m no more perfect perdition than I suffer now 1 Why did you stop me ?" he cried, with a groan ot' anguish. "llecause I would not have you destroy yonrstlf for the sake of a peevif h girl.

Come and sit down here on the sofa by me, and I will tell you what to do to break off this marriage, near as it is. and to win the bride for yourself. much as she is now devoted to her amanceu lover," whispered tbe girl. The suicidal phrenzy in him was laid for the moment, even though it might return. Now attend to me, Urandon. Before he l-ecame your successful rival in the lavor of Lady Arielle Montjoie, YalJimir Desparde was your most intimato friend, was he not?" inquired Ahpmta. "Of course he was," exclaimed Brandon, grinding his teeth. "Yon were in bis entire confidence ?' "Yes." "You have often heard him regret, deplore the unfathomable mystery that hangs over his own and his sister's childhood?" "Oh, to bo sure. Hnven't I told jou so often enough?" "And he rather resents his guardian's, Lord Beandevere's, reticence on this sub ject r "Yes, yen; but what has all this todo with the question ot this detestable marriage?" exclaimed Brandon, impatiently. "It has eiervthinir to do with sUnping it Bnt you niurl 1 patient, my lad. Calm yourself, and collect your thoughts ; for I must iut you through n, cross-examination, and then teel my waj'." "I don't understand jou." "Xo ? But you will as I go ou. Tell me, first, exactly how much Yaldimir Desparde really does know of his eaily history lie has told you, I suppose.'" "Yes ; but it is very little. He knows onlybo much as he remembers. Ue has heard nothing. Lord Beaudeverc, the only person in possession of the facts, firmly re fuses to sieak a word on tbe subject," Lord Beaudeere a reserve is ery merci ful." "What do iou sav?" "Lord Beaudevere's reserve is very nierci ful to Yaldimir Defpardo ond his sister." ' hat do vou mean. Aepimn : 1 will explain presently. But go on and tell me all Yaldimir Desparde has told yon of his early lile, Urandon. "I,et me think. Oh ! He remembers liv ing with his mother and his little sifter, in erj poor lodgings, in the narrow street of a rreat citv. whose name he has forgotton, eteu if he cur learned it " Was it in this country?" 'No, for he crossed water to come here." In France, then ?" No. for thev were End ih-E peaking peo ple who inhabited the city, and they had black servants.

"lhere was something concerning his fnthcr. the elder Yuldimir Dehparde, whom. however, be does not re-uieinber ever to hare seen. But bis mother ncter held up her head again.

"At h ngth the mother took to her bid, from which she never rose again. One day a minister came and sat by the bed and wrote a letter lor her, which was sent away. After that sho grew weaker. Another day n gen tleman arriieJ, a stianger, who afterwards proved to be Lord Bcaudevere." "Well. Brandon, why don't you goon?' eagerly demanded the attentive girl, beeing that ntr brother paused. "I am trying to renumber what Desparde told me of this stranger. Oh ! he did not kuowwho he was nntit long afterwards.

"The n if he is lhe heir of the Barony of Beaudevere be must le so through bis moth er, for he cannot be ho through his father, since tbe name of iH spardw is not to be found in the Bemulewre gfinalngy," said Aspirita, stnttntioiiHlj'. It is probably through his mot he t, who ever she wan, since Beaudetere is one of those baronies that, failing malw heirs, des cend to the funalc.

"Yes, I do. I know that Iord BcAildevere is merciful in leaving Yaldimir Desparde iu bis ignorance, and that be would hao U-en much more merciful to have lelt hira in ob scurity," said Aspirita, suhiiiiily. "Sister ! What do j on mi an ? What dis covery have jou made''' iielauned Brandon, in grt at excitement. ' One that I intend you to rtvtal to Valdi mir Desparde. And when jou nhull have done eo, should he be tbo man of honor we believe him, he w ill release Lady Arielle from her engagement to him, and he will fly to the uttermost parts ot tho earth rather than wed with her." "What is this discoveiy? Explain your self l" exclaimed Brandon Coj Ip, starting up and standing before her. Aspirita put her hand in her jwket and drew forth a folded newspaper, yellow and faded with age, and so worn all around its creases that it threatened to fall to pieces on being opened. "What is that?" demanded Brandon, reach ing forth his hand. "Don't touch it jet. It is tbe New Or haus (bttrtfr of sixteen years ogo.

When (General Grout succeeded in obtain ing a majority of tho vote in tho Hydcpark convention, and Colonel Albert Clarke, as the next friend of tho defeated candidate, moved and obtained a unanimous confirma tion of such nomination; and especially when Mr. Barlow gave tho General tho right hand of fellowship, and assured him of his active and cordial support it seemed rea sonable to believe that the heated contest was happily ended. But it seems that be lief was unwarranted. Report says that tho friend of Mr. Harlow, especially in Frank lin county, rofuse to be bound by the pledge of Colonel Clarke and Mr. Barlow claiming that tho former was wholly unauthorized by Mr. Barlow, and the latter given under a M-o apprehension that his friends had ad viMid to the step Nken by Colonel Clarke. M ireover, it is alledged that tho Burlington Free Press has made, some offensive post mortem statements concerning the Barlow canrass.and that some of the (irout men bad threatened a bolt in cae their candidate failed ot tbo nomination. But, as if hardly satisfied with these flimy pretexts, tbe greenback dodge is gratefully seized upon as affording a happy solution of their trouble Accordingly, greenback clubs, with rapidly increasing memberships, are being formed in atl tho towns throughout Franklin and the adjoining counties, and the project seems tj be seriously entertain ed of ultimately making Mr. Barlow the congressional candidate of this faction, in tho bopo of thus defeating General (Irout.

Ihn. J H. MorriU. 1878. Tbe National Banks. SOUETLAIV FACTS -WD nt-CRtS. St. Alba.ns, Aug. S, 1878. To the Kditor of the Free Tress and Times. During the past few weeks, a party sdvlin themselves "Grecnhackers" have been flood ing the country with dicuments and errone ous statements and impressions oa to the Na tional hanks and their relation? to the United State. They claim that the banks arc making extraordinary profits out of tho Gov ernment, and adduce figures without proof to substantiate the assertion, clearly betray ing great ignorance of the real fact.". These banks were established in I8C3 as agencies of the Government U enable it to circulate its greenbacks without being "shaved" by the brokers, and to aid tho Government in raising money to put down the rebellion. From that time to the present every back has paid one per cent tax on its capital and one-half of one pfr cent per annum on its averaged deposits, besides heavy local taxes. From these sources the people have received vast incomes. The Comptroller of the Cur rency, on page 59 ot his report for 1370, gives a tabular statement of the amount ol the taxes so paid by tho National banks from lSGo to 1875 inclusive, as follows : Amount of Taiea pU by National Banks. "Vri- $16,019,389 !Q M? ltfA3uS n J 17.373 310 1 0 ITJS&SI ! I3-' 13JM9.973 jn IS.OU.GSJ 13 50I.3SI J IG.S7C.4lK) In is75 17.375.653 Tho banks at tbe same time were requir ed to deposit with the Government, bonds of various kinds, as collateral to secure the redemption of tho bank currency Issued, upon which the Government ha paid to tho banks, as to other holders of its bonds. tho interest thereon. Thoc bonds have ranged from four to mi per cent interest averaging five per cent on $310,000,000, the maximum amount of currency issued to all the National banks. This will make tho averaged amount paid the National banks by the Government for the alovc ten years alwut seventeen millions of dol lars annually a sum about equal to the amounts paid out for taxes by the banks. Tho difference between the currency in which the taxes were paid and tho gold in which the interest was paid, was, during the war, and for some time after, a source of profit; but at the present time it barely pays the commissions on sales of tbe gold, without profit. Thus, it will bo een that the National banks are making no money out of the privileges they derive from tho Government, so far as the interest paid on the bonds as collateral is concerned. As fast as the bonds mature, tbo Government requires that those bearing a lower rate of interest shall bo sub-tituted, namely, thoso bearing 4 and 44 percent interest, and still tho heavy tax on capital and deposits is con tinued. In view of the-e facts, this Greenback party ask Congress to require the banks to surrender their circulation take btek their bonds, or have the Government pay them and take in lien thereof Government green backs. This would le equivalent to a repeal of the law, and a great los to the people and Government, for the following reasons which must Ie apparent to every one : I irst The National binks could theu only do business on their deposits, which would not pay the current expenses of ninc tenths of the National banks in the country. and they would necessarily close. Secondly Those banks in closing would at once stop discounting, and hegiu to collect in their assets, and a general lanicaud ide-spread di-aster and financial distress would inevitably follow. Thirdly The Government would lo-e the services ot these bnks as redeeming agencies in the sale of their securities and redecmng the greenbacks at par, which they arc now required to do w ilhont compensation, where by the Government Is now enabled to keep out 5-310,000,000 of greenbacks without paying interest and w itbout Iving 'hawk ed" about the streets. Fourthly The people would lose from $15,000,000 to $18,000,000 of taxes annual ly now collected from thc-c 1-auUs and about $100,000,000 of lunds held by thtse banks would still he held by the buiks, or individuals, upon winch the Government would bo compelled to pay interest until they arc due. Hat, say the 'Greenbickers," the Govern ment must issue green lacks with which to pay up all these boJ. What an absurdity cs well might vou dam Niagara with a paper dam That would be simply asking the co ple of this country bt take the notes of this Gottrnnient for its entire indehteJuev-and bold them for all liiu? without -any interest. It would bea-king the brokers and money ed- men of the country cot to discount or 'shave" any of tho paer of the Government but Ic uiaguanlmoiis and carrv it without interest ! As well might an individual a.k his creditors to take bis iiMmJoul notes for their in Jebtednos, on time without interest. Tliis matter of floating cirrmey which means simply getting the use of money with out paying interest Is attended with a great deal of labor and expense, its eteiy erson who has ever hal to do with th old State banks well knows. It Is always coming in fur payment. It non takes our to thou sand National banks, scattered all over the country, with tho vaiious Milt-treasurcrs to aid them, to float $310,000,000 of green backs for tho Government, without interest and at tho same time keep out an equal amount of National bink bi'Js, on which the Government gets the " lion's share" of profits, Iwsides deriving all the profits on the losi bills, estimated at alkut two millions of dol lars annually. This will compensate the Government very handsomely for all ex icnscs of printing them and sustaining the Currency Department. The main object ol the establishment id the National banks by Secretary Chase wa to aid tho Government in floating several hundred millions of greenliaeks, without in terest, nnl to protect the Government credit from the attacks of Its enemies and the on slaught of Wall street brokers, aud others, who then, and now, were, and arc, ready to buy the Governuunt greenliaeks us low as jos-siMc. Do these Greenlmckers expect to change human nature? Do they expect to make something out of nothing? Dj they hope to hate banks and banking facilities without affording them the only inducements upon which they can for a moment exist, namely, the issuance ol currency, CI teen per cent of which is required to lw held In their vaults, und five percent held by the Govern ment its If to redeem mutilated bills? Thus the Government, Uy the aid of tho National binks. is dotting, to-day, $ti"S.5,J7,7.', 1k" slJcs gold and silver, as agtinst $207,10-,-177, iu 1800, which furnishes :i com pic tc refutation of the cry ol tho Grccnbackers that tho depression of business and biKr is duo to the conduction of the currency. Tho practical effect of the plan of these Grcenluckers would Io tho almlitionol tanks and the establishment of one grand Govern ment hank, similar to the old I'nited States Hank, so obnoxious to tho Democrats of Jackson's time, and so cflcctncly killed un der his administration, as a monody. From that day forward the Democratic party has claimed that gold and siUer were th only ; lawful currency of the country. According- lly, as late as 1802, when the Nation's life NUMBER 7. was in daDger, nearly, if not every, Demo crat in Congress voted against "the legal tender act, under which these greenbacks wcro and aro now issued, because it was un constitutional, and the Republicans voted solid for It as a "war measure. It is. therefore, difficult to perceive how Demo crats can rcconsile their former conduct by favoring an unlimited issue of greenback. The Republicans contended that they were made a legal tender as "a military neces sity, and tho Supreme Court of the United States concurred in the same opinion as to contracts aiade after tbe passage of the act. When the "military necessity' ended, they simply stand like other promises to pay, without intrinsic value in and of themselves. But, say these wiseacres, these Government bonds must bo taxed. Who ever heard of a government taxing its own securities? It would be like a man taking money out of his right pocket and putting it in his left pocket. The result would be the same. These bonds are now taxed in the only prac tical way they can be reached, namely, by being offered by the Government at lour per cent interest, freo from taxation. Does any one suppose that these bonds would ever be taken at thoso low rates if made subject to taxation? An individual executes amort gage of his farm. It is a mortgage of some thing having an intrinsic value. But when the Government issues its bonds, they are only promises to pay. It ever paU, it mast be done by a tax, direct or indirect, on tho Fcople. There is no mortgage about it. A mortgage cannot ho executed by, or fore closed agaiost, the Government, lhe Gov ernment cannot be sued by an individual or corporation in any such way. If Congress refuses to provide means for paying them, it is repudiation, and their collection cannot be enforced by law. They are, thcn.no bet ter than old Continentals or brown paper. The Government, however, has managed to evade this matter of taxing the bonds held as collateral by National banks by taxing the privileges enjoyed by the banks, as above stated. These banks were started to aid the Government in its dire necessity. They are now helping it, by taxation, moro than any other class of property, as appears irom the United States Treasurer's Report, and es pecially from the Comptroller ot the Curren cy's Report for 137G, page 61, which says: lhe Government is receiving a revenue - from tho banks which is more than equal to all the taxes paid by them before the war ; while the States aro also increasing the bur dens which previously wero as grcai as could bo borne. Within the pa3t two years, seventy-one banks, and since the organization of tho system two hundred and seven banks, have gono into voluntary liquidation, chiefly on account nf excessive taxation, while during the last year fewer banks have been organized than in any pre vious year sinco 18G9; and nnless some fa vorable legislation is obtained, a very con siderable nudil'Cr of banks will retire from the system to cngace m private banking. In previous reports, the Comptroller has called the attention of Congress to the fact that the amount of tax to which the Na tional banks arc subject (tho average rate, including State and National being abopt three and one-half yer centum per annum) is much greater than that imposed on any other capital in the country. The Government is doing all it can to solve this great financial problem. It is following tho course pursued in the history of every other nation un earth, and is receiving tho assistance of these National banks in their great work, foreshadowed by Abraham Lincoln, when, in one of his an nual messages, ho says : fcA return to spe cie paymsnt at the earliest period compati ble with due regard to nil interests concern ed should ever be kept In view. Fluctua tions in the value of currency are always in jurious, and to reduce those fluctuations to the lowest possible roint wUl always be a leading purpose in all wise lcgilation. Con vertibility, prompt and certain convertibil ity into coin, is acknowledged to be the best and surest safe-guard against them. Andrew Jackson said, on the same sub ject: "There nevor was, nor never could be, uo for any other kind of c.arrcncy than is redeemable in specie, except fur specula tors and gamblers in stocks, and this to the utter ruin of tbe labor and nnoids of tho country. A specie currency givn- life and action to tho producing classes, on -which the prosperity of all is founded. From the foregoing facts und figures, it must 1k plainly seen that all thfie pretences ot tho Grccnbackers are without f.iuuJt tion. It will lo seen that tbo Niliiul banks by excessive taxation are struggling for an existence, with their surplus gre-.u.'y i impaired by heavy losses. It will be noticed that the Government is doing what it is its bounden duty to do all it can to float all the greenbacks in its power and keep them at par, and save all tbe interest p-wsiblc. And especially will it be noticed that the effort of Hen Butler and Brick Fomcroy, and their coadjutors, to bring dis aster on tho country, which the steady and unswerving policy of the lEepubli.mn party. with tbe co-operation of most of tho repre sentative Democrats of the country, has thus far averted since tho rebellion, is the bo boy of demagogues and politician. Let not tho sturdy, sensible men of tho country bo de ceived by them. Rather let tho people re turn to their old habits of economy and fru gality, as the sure and only certain way out of all our financial difficulties.

The nubs in the Vermont Greenback plat form, are, of course, not its declarations in favor of economy in the public service and punishment of public officers who betray their trusts all parties profess to believe in that, and the Republican party has prac ticed it, to a good degree. Nor are they the declaration that a four per cent loan could havo been floated a3 well af a four and a half, when the latter was fhated about whieh the Convention kcew notfuog ; or that the public lauds should not be granted to help open new regions to settlers by aiding in the construction of railroads a practice which, whether good or bad, has ceased. They were the declarations in favor of the creation by Congress of a "suitable amount of money, " perfect and complete In iuelf," to be legal tender for everything, no matter of how cheap material made, to ha issued only by tbe Government, and to 1 ued expressly in paying off the bond-, as wlII as for every thing else. The meaning of these leclaraticns is somewhat carefully veiled in wrds ; but if they mean anythiog different enough from the financial principles held by both the great parties to call for a new party, they mean thefl.Kjdlog of the country with irre deemable paper money "absjlute money" as the other Greenback ers call it paper made money by the Government stamp, and having no relation to any actual measure of value. What would be a "suitable amount of such money, Mr. Furc-ts plf.tform doca not say. One of the Grccnbackers before Mr. Hewitt's committee iu New York wanted enough issued so that tbe Government could lend every man $5,000 without interest . and when asked where tho Government could get such a mass of money, he said "print it. The Vermont platform does not say there should i City thousand milllous of suih money printed, like this am able New Yorker ; but it calls virtually for enough to pay off the lunds in paper, which would bo enough to depreciate the actual talue of the greenback dollar to a mors fraction of its present value. Cipher ed down to its results-, the Vermont platform, like the New York Greenback platform, thus meaas, in the end, repudiation of the greater part of the public and private indebt edness ot the country and of individuals.
