new purchase in Minnesota, and the northern
part of Iowa. Two ferries across the Wiscon-
sin pour ceaseless tide of these hardy pio-
neers into the country on the east side of the
Mississippi. More than hundred families
have this season settled within short distance
of this town. The rugged bluffs which have
been such bug-bear to sensitive imaginations,
are covered with abundant crops, and prove
the most productive lands. On one of these
bluffs saw fine field of winter wheat which,

Never was there brighter prospect for good
crops than at the present. The liberal prices
which all kinds of produce now command in
cite the farmers to renewed eXertiOns and the
universal contentment which prevails among

shall sit under his own vine and fig tree.

trunk and branches those Of the orange. The upper
side of the leaf is coated with gum, Of the consis-

Going to Bed.

Going to bed we have always considered one
of the most sober, serious and solemn opera
tions which man can be engaged In during
the whole twenty-four hours. With young
lady it is altogether different thing. When
bed time arrives, she trips up stairs with can
die in her hand, and-if she has had pleasant
company during the evening-wlth some agree
able ideas in her head. The candle on the tot
lette and her luxuriant hair is speedily en}an-
eipated from the thraldom of combs and pins.
If she usually wears water curls, or uses the
d" IRON" her hair is brushed carefully from her
forehead, and the whole mass compactly Sc
cured ii not, why then her lovely tresses are
soon hid in innumerable bits OF paper. This
task accomplished, a night cap appears, may
IS edged, with plain muslin, or may be with
heavy lace, which hides all, save ner own sweet
countenancc. AS soon as she ties the string,
probably she takes peep in her glass, and halt
Smiles and half bushes at what she sees. The
light is out--her fair, delicate form gently
presses the couch-and like a dear innocent,
lovely creature, as she is, she falls gently into
sleep, with sweet smile On her still sweeter
face. A man, of course, under the same cir
cu,nstances, acts quite differently. Every
movement in his chamber indicates the coarse,
rouph mould of his sullen nature. When all
IS ready. he snuffs the candle out with his fla
rers ike a cannibal, and then jumps into the
bed like savage. For few moments he
thinks of att the peccadilloes he may have COM
,nitted during the day-vOws VOW to amend
soon-groans, turns over, stretches himseil,
and then all is silent save the heavy groans OF
the slumberer.-N. I. Dutchmdn.
