Defeat and Victory^
The newspaper that makes^no enemies
is not much of a newspaper. The same is
true of a man. It is also true that some
newspapers, that are not much as news
papers, and some men, who are^not _vcry
much in the line of humanity, are con
spicuous examples of inability to please
everybody. What newspapers and men
should do is to strive to please themselves,
and they will find in doing this that they
will not altogether offend. The sort of
friendship that is desirable is a sort that
involves genuine rcspect No man thinks
the more of another because that other is
his tool. No man, though he be a can
didate for office, thinks the more of an
other simply because that other is at his
service. The candidate for officc, unless
he be a very unworthy candidate, must
respect the motives of those who support
him if he is to admire their coursc. Men
who profess friendship for other men for
the use that friendship may be to. them, in
the way of office-getting or otherwise, do
not excite a genuine friendship in return.
As much as honesty is abused, its respect
ability will continue as long as time.

Fall Plowing.
Farmers do not sufficiently appreciate
the importance of early fall plowing. Bo
soon as the small grain is stacked, which
should be done as quick as possible after
cutting, the ground should be plowed, be
fore the weeds perfect their seed. This
insures a clean (arm. When the weeds,
grass and stubble are green, and the weath
er is warm turned under they soon fer
ment and decay, making a large amount
of fertilizers. But if the?fground is per
mitted to remain unplowed until the weeds
ripen and the weather becomes cool, the
seed Will be carefully protected for an ear
ly start the next spring, and the weeds and
stubble do not rot until after the crops are
plowed next spring. No threshing, visit
ing, or even centennial excursions should
interfere with fall plowing. As much as
possible should be done in the month
of August. Those who do their fall
plowing after frost are not the kind we
class among good farmes. In view of the
trouble with weeds next year and the ben
efit of the green crop turned as manure,
the importance of early plowing assumes
a position which cannot be overlooked by
the good husbandman.. And the late rains
have been opportune to prepare the ground
for easy ana comfortable work.—State
Register.
8leep the Best Stimulant.
The best possible thing for a man to do
when he feels too weak to carry it through
is to go to bed and sleep a week if he can.
This is the only true recuperation of pow
er, the only actual recuperation of brain
force. Because during sleep the brain is
in a state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of. nutriment
from the blood which take tiie place of
those which have been consumed in prev
ious labor, since the very act of thinking
consumes, burns up solid particles, as ev
ery turn of the wheel or screw of the splen
did steamer is the result of consumption
by fire of the fuel in the furnace. The
supply of consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive particles in
the blood, which were obtained from the
food eaten previously, and the brain is so
constituted that it can best.receive and
appropriate to itself those nutritive partic
les during a state of rest, of quiet, and
stillness in sleed. Mere stimulants supply
nothing in themselves they only goad the
brain, force it to a greater consumption of
its substance, until that substance has
been so exhausted that there is not power
enough left to receive a supply, just as
men are so near death by thirst and star
vation that there is not power enough to
swallow anything, and all is over.—A?.
A TOUNG gentleman undertook to relate
a circumstance, one Sunday evening, in
the presence of some youug. ladies. He
commenced as follows.
"A lady friend and myself, last Sunday
evening went to Bed—'C
With a sudden spring the old lady
bounced him out of the house. The n«ti
day the old gentleman met him for an
apology.
"I was about to say," commenced the
young man, "that a lady friend and my
self went to Bed—" when a thrust from
the old man's cane started him back sev
eral feet upon which he exclaimed at tho
top of his voice—

Pleasure Seeking,
The amusements of life are really a
most important part of life, and it is quite
right that they should be properly under
stood and appreciated, and suffered to
have their due influence. We will hot
listen to the pleas which any form of
philosophy may bring forward to the con
traiy. We will be neither preached over
nor laughed at, or, if we cannot
avoid the performance altogether, we will
at least turn its point by treating it only a
part of the day's jest. But, little as we
should think of questioning the abstract
right of those around us to every form of
pleasure that they can obtain, and little as
we could wish to treat the pleasure they
seek either too gravely or too scornfully,
there are, nevertheless, one or two ques
tions on the whole subject which suggest
themselves, and which may be worth an
swering. Let us ask, then, first of all,
whether the pleasure-seekers themselves are
pleased. Are they all, we should like to
know, as eager in the chase as they wish
us to believe, or as we might judge them to
be from their outward actions Or is not
the whole thing in too many cases a mere
sham or delusion Are not the tastes of
a very few apt to be copied slavishly by a
multitude which has no enjoyment in
them, and which affects to share them only
because it believes them to be correct, or
knows them, anyhow, to be fashionable
There is, of course, a good deal of this in
both the grave and tne gay pleasures of
life, but we may fairly doubt the one form
is much more affected by it than the oth
er, or whether the two together are to any
large extent spoilt by it. The man who
pretends to a love of books, or of paint
ings, or of music, or of whatever else,
must be prepared to be sometimes taken
at his word, and forced to undergo a course
of servitude accordingly. But we can
hardly doubt, on the whole, that the pleas
ures which tho world most seeks are those
which the world most enjoys, and we need
not stay long to pity either the neophyte
who happens for the moment to be receiv
ing the wrong sort of initiation, or the
more desperate case of the hypocrite who
has contrived to turn the means of enjoy
ment into a well-spring of perpetual an
noyance.
More difficult is the question whether
the modern pursuit of pleasure is worth
all it costs. It makes great demands up
on time and money, ana though we must
admit that it gives a great deal in ex
change for them, yet it docs not therefore
follow that the bargain is necessarily a
wise one. The question of time is a good
deal the more import of the two. it is
really frightful to think of the amount of
hard pleasure which some persons go
through. While men are young and strong
they can of course, do just as they please.
They have^ no headaches as yet to pun
ish their lighter vices they sleep well
they keep their appetites and the age of
gray hairs and of dyspepsia, however cer
tainly approaching, seems as yet infinitely
removed. There is, of course, a fortunate
class of beings for whom these words of
warning aro not needed, who have the en
tire feur-and-twenty Hours of the day to
enjoy themselves in, and whose only
doubt can be what new forms of gratifica
tion the whole time they have on hand
can be got through. To these we would
hint only that such doubt may, perhaps,
grow more embarrassing, and the solution
of_ it less and less easy to discover. Life,
it is true, is short, but the very shortest
life is loo long to be taken up pleasantly
with the search after mere amusement.—
But for the large number of those who
know how. to make a good use of their
opportunities, and are properly qualified
to take advantage of them, modern life is
beyond all example rich in the most varied
forms of pleasure. Bome of these are con
spicuous to all, others area good deal
more difficult to discover, while others,
again, are and must continue to be the
property of the favored few. The choice
of every kind is, however, so various, and
Bome form or other of each kind is so cfer
tainly within each man's grasp, that those
who can find nothing to delight them
must expect to be blamed rattier than pit
ied for their too singular ill-luck. In
whatever form a man has value to offer
he may, in short, lay it down and receive
pleasure in exchange for it. Nor is it for
the highest and most permanent forms of
social pleasure that society is wont to ex
act, directly or indirectly, the highest pe
cuniary charges, however it may Insist up
on the conditions for which it really cares.
