THE PRArRIEs. Morning Courier, a
new daily paper recently established at Spring
field, Illinois, has an interesting. paragraph
respectingthe tide of emigration through that
State to the farther west. II says: lft
"ACcording to our observation, (for we have
travelled much during the past season,) the
tide is setting on the various lines of travel TO-
wards the land Of promise. The Prairies
have the whole season been literallV-bloclSe
up with movers wagons, and from the repre-
sensations, people enough have exchanged
homes from the East TO the West in lS40, to
add another State to the National Constellation,
had they all located in a single territory
Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Winconsin have
received large portion of the new comers.'
Ohio, but few years since the West, is now
the starting point for the Far West. The Up
per Mississippi is no longer the utmost verge
ofthat underlined and interminable territory;res-
idents beyond talk of still farther West, and
but few years ere the swelling wave will
break over the Rocky Mountains, and the quiet
wales of the Columbia, will TEEN with people
whose progenitors dwelt in rugged New En-
gland, and looked upon the Alleghanies as the
impossible boundary of the Western world.
a HINT TO GIRLs.-We have always con
sidered it an unerring sign of innate vulgarity,
when we hear ladies take particular pains TO
impress us with an idea of their ignorance OF
all domestic matters, save sewing lace or weav
ing net 10 incase their delicate hands. Ladies,
by some curious kind ofhoeos pocus, have got
it into their heads that the best way to catch
husband is TO show how profoundly capable
they are of doing nothing for his comfort.
Frightening piano into fits, or numbering the
kings French, may be good bait for certain
kinds of fish, but they must be Of that kind
usually found IN very SHALLOW aoaterS. The
surest way to secure good husband is TO
cultivate those accomplishments which make a
good wife. al. JlW u-a 7
CALvIN-Zeal, intrepidity, disinterested-
ness" says DR.. Robertson, ''were virtues which.
Calvin possessed in an eminent degree. He
excelledin that species of eloquence which is
calculated 10 rouse and to infame. Rigid and
uncomplyiDg himself, he showed no indulgence
to the infirmities of others, Those very quad
tiles, however, which now render bis character
less amiaHe, fitted him Tor advancing the Re
formation among fierce people, and enabled
him 10 face dangers and to surmount opposition,
from which a person Of more gentle spirit
would have been apt to shrink back" He
died in 1872. The Earl of Moreton, who at
tended his funeral pronounced the following
eulogy upon him: "There lies he who never
feared the face ofrnan!" .nt 'lli tE'f

WHERE DID THEY ALL COME FROM? "A
minority man was expressing his establishment
TO circle Of friends, on Wednesday, at the
number of Wing voters who appeared at the
polls on Monday last, and who could not ex-
actly make out Wi,tre IN fbunder they all came
from, was much enlightened by one Of his
bearers, worthy sexton, from the North End
who assured him, that he was quite sure he had
barred sons of them, but who took Them up was
more than he could tell .-Boston transcript.

any other part of the yard for reburial. The GER
