The Prairies.


1t takes few moments reflection to
realize that we are really in the heart
of Prairie land. a beautiful and finely
cultivated country il stretching around
us for miles, varied by delightful groves
of forest land, and charming rivers, and
graceful slopes There is none Of the rude
ness incident to recent settlement in
any of the heavily timbered districts of
the Union Go out on the unoccupied
prairie, and rs far as the eye can extend,
there may be the appearance of desola-
tion, as of some universal desertion, and
YOU almost instinctively look for the
ashes of some forsaken homestead the
remains Of some flower garden cultiva-
ted by gentle hands, or the fruit of the
toll of the sturdy farmer, but the dark
stumrs of recent clearing, no where
raise their ghostly heads to frighten tim
id children after night fall. As soon as
the land is brought into subjection by
the plough, it has all the appearance of a
long cultivated farm.
The want of logs for building may
also contribute somewhat to the more
refined appearance Of the residences Of
first settlers, which, from necessity, must
ordinarily be either of brick or of sawm
lumber
On glancing around upon these rast
meadows one cannot but reflect upon the
land where our forefathers were first wei
coined, region covered with dense dark
forests, whose soil and climate exacted
the sternest qualities of mind and body,
or else bowed thom to the dust in the
unequal struggle Had they been wei
coined to such a land us this, where the
toll of the husbandman is Immediately
rewarded, their bitterest trials had been
cyaded. In conquering these at the out
posts Of the land, the worst evils were
vanquished, and the old fathers, as with
the faith of patriarchs, saw all the good
ly land given to their posterity. Less
and less rugged has grown the pathway
as men have been lured from the East to
the West, till the golden dreams that en-
chantcd the ayarlcious Spaniards, have
found realization in the glowing West,
where the eye looks out upon the broad
/ Pacific

Poultry Establishment.

Mr. ORviLLE HuNGERroEp,of Houns-
field. jeff Co, has probably the largest
establishment in the State for the produc.
tion of poultry and egg. NJ Hunger
ford has enclosed ten acres of land with
a strong picket fence and erected build
ings and other fixtures on the premises
for the accommodation of five thousand
hens, at a cost Of three thousand dollars
These buildings are divided into rooms
for the accommodation of his birds, suit
ed to their wants, the whole to be raised
by artificial means to the temperature Of
summer hel. during winter
This is one of the results Of the ex.
tension of Railroads and facilities for
rapid transportation. Formerly farm
er in the interior could find no adequate
market for productions of this kind -
Now poultry, eggs. fresh meats and all
the luxuries of life. may as we'll be pur-
chased in. the interior as in the vicinity
Of our large towns.
The business of poultry raising has,
we think been successful whenever it has
beer attempted on a large scale, and
with the proper convenicnces and faciii-
ties. We hope this extensive expert
ment by Mr.. Hungerford will add anoth-
er t) the many proofs, that good results
invariably follow well directed expendi.

lebrity we dare to think so, after the
high and powerful testimony we have
received from mobiles, princes and kings,
admitted to the bonor of a seat at His

believe it, especially after the words of
esteem and affection by which His Most

the beatiication and satisfaction which
good cheer produces in a monarch, the
most glorious among monarchs Yes,

A Well Trained Clerk.

"Mr Girard had a favorite clerk, one
who every way pleased him, and who, at
the age Of twenty-one years, expected
Mr.. G. to say something of his future
prospects, and perhaps lend him help
ing hand in starting him in the world.
But Mr. G, said nothing, carefully a
voiding the subject of his escape from
minority. At length, after the lapse Of
some weeks, the clerk mustered courage
enough to address Mr.. G.. upon the sub
ject.
" [ suppose, sirp said the clerk, 1
am free, and thought would say some
thing to you as to my future course"
Yes, yes. l know you are" said Mr..
G "and my advice to you is that you
go and learn the cooper's trade"
This announcement well nigh threw
the clerk of the track but recovering
his equilibrium, be said if Mr.. @. was

The clerk, rather hcsitatingly, sought
one of the best coopers and agreed with
him upon the terms of apprenticeship,
and went at it in good earnest. aud in
the course of time made as good bar
rel as anybody He went and told Mr..
G. he had graduated with all the honors
of the craft, aud was ready to set up his
business. at which the old man seemed
gratifcd. and told him to make three Of
the best barrels he could The young
Icooper selected the best material he
could find, and soon put it into shape
and finished three Of the best barrels,
and wheeled them up to the old mans
counting-room. Mr.. G. said the batrels
were first rate, and demanded the price.
"One dollar" replied the clerk it
is as low as l can live by"
Cheap enough" said the employer !,
make out your bill and present it."
And now comes the cream Of the
whole Mr. G. drew q check for go 900.
and handed it to the clerk. closing with
these words
There, take that, and invest it in

fortunate and loose it, you will have q
