RE ECONONiEaf.

The map Wis commences early in his llft 10
practice economy, is always a successful man -
Those who take care of cents soon have dollars.
The small, unnecessary expenditures are what
keep SO many men poor, and at toll all their
lives. 1t is really astonishing TO find how few
men and women think it duty to be economi-
cal when the world goes smoothly and prosper
ousiy with them. While ii is rare to find per-
son who would not acish 10 be rich, it is easy to
find persons with abundant opportunities. who
ill not arrive TO be independent and prepared
for the little vcsitudes of life.
Some love display, and will even run into
debt to crafty their foolish passion. y hers 60
on the principal of living while they can, and
Danish all thoughts of bad times, sickness and
old age. Others again, contract bad or expen-
sive habits, and rather than make an attempt to
get rid of them, submit to their tyranny, and de-
ceive themselves with the plea that they are
necessary to the full enjoyment of life. But
the full enjoyment of life consists in living
wisely and nationally. Transient pleasures can
be purchased too dearly, and for hours OF riot.
Gus enjoyment, days and months OF misery and
pain may be the fruits.
He will enjoy life most who moderaies his
desires and economies the rewards of his toll.
He will be freer from apprehensons, and will
have less regrets to disturb his happier moments
No one may anticipate that his path through life
will be lghtened by continual sunshine. This
year may be prosperous one; the next may
be the reverse. The mechanic who now has
abundant work and good wages cannot tell
whether these will be permanent. He knows
Rot how soon his health may fail, and his little
family be without a provider. And it is of
every one who earns his bread by his own labor
1t is, therefore, their duty to be economical
while all is going well with them. No matter
how small may be the saving each week, it will
amount to pleasant little sum BY the end Of the
year.
The habit Of saving too, when once acquired,
will work wonders. Economy has most salu-
tary influence upon the character Of men and Of
families. 1t is a promoter of all the virtues. 1t
encourages industry, overcomes evil tempta-
tons, and produces feelings of independence
and self-respect IN. Y Sun.

CORN In IOWA.

lfpeople want any farther evidence that
Iowa is one Of the best growing States in the
Union, it can be found in statement of the
premium crops in the several counties in this
State. In Des Moines, the premium was given
to one hundred and half bushels to the acre
In Louisa to 100 bushels to the acre. In Van
Buren,, Wappello and Mahaska counties to un
average OF from 100 to l42 bushels. II will be
recolected that in no instance was extra effort
made to produce large crop.
A few days ago, cattle feeder in this coun

corn raised by tenant, and refused to give ten
dollars an acre, as he supposed the yield would
not justify that price. II was agreed he should
give I3 cts, bushel, and two acres were Sc,
lected, to be picked and shelled, by which the
product of the balance of the field was to be
Judged. When this was done it was ascertain
ed that the yield was one hundred and ten and
a half bushels to the acre, for which the tenant
received ga 40 an acre, instead of $1,000, at
which price he had offered to sell. On the
same farm the yield Of wheat was 80 bushels

WHAT WE WANT IN DUBUQUE.

We want great many things in Dubuque
We want additional aud better directed Steam
Boat facilities; a more vigorous prosecution Of
our aarbor improvement; more wholesome
administration of the City finances; better
appreciation Of this place of business aud
stronger inducements to call people from dis
lance here TO trade with us; better protection

crime better sanitary regulations for both hot

that the services of the best men may be COM
manded and retained; and great many other
But among all the wants, there is none more
seriously felt, Than that of dwellings and bust
ness houses. Scarcely a week passes during
the season OF navigation, that persons are not
compelled to leave this place for want Of a
building to 60 into for business or residence

which all are willing T., admit and Which the Y
do admit almost every day Of their lives; but
still little effort is made to obviate the evil-to
supply the want. Large property holders here, it
seems to US, could make the putting up OF cheap
dwellings very profitable investment. Their
real estate in an unmproved condition affords
them no profit: on the contrary it is a constant
tax upon them. The expenditure Of FIVE hun
dred, or thousand dollars in putting up small
building, would in rents amply reimburse the
party for both the value OF the lot and the cost
Of the building, while 1t would be tho means of
increasing the population and advancing the
prosperity of The place, more than any other one
line Of improvement. This subject may well
command the attention of property holders.

SEVERE STORM on THE ONO RIvER.-Sun.

swept up the Ohio river, destroying a large
mount Of property, aud causing tEe loss Of many
lives. About fifty boats were sunk, having on
board 200 bashels each, worth altoge,h So,
600. The ice aud low water had delayed the
sailing Of coal boa's from Pittsburg, and the
north, until quite recently, and rendered the
price Of coal beyond the reach Of many, and a
severe tax upon all. The destruction Of this
fleet will produce still greater suffering, and is
most lamentable. The storm must have been
