Don't Go.

The farmers who have been induced to emf
CRATE to Nicaragua by the promise of a free
grant of $50 acres of land have not Jared very
well, it appears. TIL Climate is deadly at
certain seasons. AsCopnecticut farmer, just
returned from Col. Walkers domieions,
writes !:
AS regards the fertility of the soil, some
parts Of the State are very fruitful but l do
think an American can make a living on any
amount of land. From all that / Judge, the
government land for agricultural purposes is
worthless. I believe that the labor required to
clear up sufficient land of the undcrbrush. to
enable a person to live from it (f he could live
from any amount of land,) if that labor were
applied to five acres of land in rendering il
fertile near here, it would make a man indie.
pendent. | think a person is far better OF
who is working on a farm at fifty cents q day
and his board, than he would be at Nicaragua
with a thousand acres of land. After they have
got the land in their possession, if they live
long enough to build a house, they will fine
that the labor of clearing land enough to raise
an acre Of corn will be more than they cal
endure"

ARTLEss SmpLieITY.-0ne of the sweetest
incidents which we have noticed for many q
day--and one which shows the effect of early
training assisted by a pure and undefled
imagination--has just fallen under our observa-
ton. 1t is thus related: A lady visited New
York city and saw on the sidewalk a ragged,
cold and hungry little girl, gazing w%istfully at
some cakes in a shop window. She stopped,
and taking the little one by tho hand led her
into the store. Though she was aware that
bread might be better for the cold child than
cake, yet desiring to crafty the shivering and
forlorn one, she bought and gave her the cakes
she wanted. She then took her to another
place, where she procured her a. shawl and
other articles of comfort. The grateful little
creature looked the benevolent lady up full in
the face, and with artless simplicity, said,
Are you Gods wife," Did the most elo-
qaent speaker ever employ words to better
advantage?

The Newark (N. j. Mercury says the
Western fever is raging quite violently in that
city. Large numbers Of. citizens are selling
out their property and preparing 10 follow
those who have sold out before, and emigrated
westward. The parties leaving are chiefly
mechanics and laboring men of the better class,
who think that opportunities for acquiring
competence are greater towards the setting sun
thar there. Some of them will probably
change their opinion in the matter after Il short
experience in the land of their hopes.
