City rs country.

City rs country.
An amusing episode occurred during
the prevalence Of the late equinoctial
storm, which shows the light in which
certain city customers are looked upon
by those who are not 30 accustomed to
them as to eschcw entirely the question
of propriety, and admit them as right
from the mere force of habit. A beau
tiful and well dressed little lady was
crossing the Campus Martius, where the
rain had placed the walks in dccid .dly
sloppy state. In pursuance of the pre-
valent custom, she lifted her skirts to
keep them out of the mud, and in So
doing raised them to height that SEEM
ed to indicate that she was laboring un
der the impression that. the mud was
twenty-four inches in depth. This &C.
ton disclosed beautiful foot and ancle,
and swell of limb that would have char
med an anchorite. Attention was OF
course attracted, and among the rest,
that of an honest old farmer, who sa,
upon a load of wheat. driving down the
avenue. He probably had never dream
ed that Young America could so far
transcend the bounds of decorum laid
down by his mother, and instilled into
his own daughter with such force as is
usual with his class, and he looked in
astenishment. The lady passed, and he
looked after her. She walked dainty
on, and he drew in upon the reins, stop.
ped his horses, turned square around on
his bags, and looked with open mouth
He seemed to be in a dream, from which
he was aroused by gentleman who
was watching him attentively, and who
interrupted him with. "Prctty, isn't it?'
The sturdy old fellow turned quietly
around and seized the reins without ,
word, but gave the horses cut will
the whip which said as plainly as actions
can speak" When my gals come to that
darn me. ."-DetrOH Free Press.

DUBUQUE AND PACIFIC R. r. LANDS.
The Hamilton Freeman says its edi.
tor has received letter from an officer
Of the Dubuque 4 Pacific Rail Road.
from which it makes the following
extract:
The alternate reserved sections Of
land on our road, are liable to be pre-
emptcd at $2, SO per acre. by actual set
tiers, and paid for in land warrants at ST.
IS per acre. Warrants can now be had at
80 cents per acre. which will only make
the lands cost &1. go per acre. There
never was and probably never will be 50
good chance for settlers to get lands,
that in few years will be worth $50
to $50 per acre.

Iowa LAw.-Judge Clagget has de.
cided that the mortgager in real estate
has the right to redeem piece of pro-
perty that has been sold under mort
gage at any time within twenty-one years
after said sale, unless the court has, by
decree, cut off the equity of rsdemp-
ton
The operation of this construction of
the law, is this &: A person holding .
mortgage can sell under our statute, but
the debtor can, within the specified time,
by paying the amount Of purchase mon-
ey, with interest and costs, redeem the
property so sold unless the purchaser
has obtained decree destroying the
right of redemption.
This is very important decision, A.
it gives to persons having property sold.
an opportunity to redeem any property
sold, and OH the other hand gives the
mortgager his money. Under this law
the purchaser is simply the trustee of
the mortgager to the time of bar Of
the right of redemption.-KeoAuk Poet.

CuRrA1L EXPENSES. One of the best
remedies for the existing condition of the
times is to curtail expenses. In doing
this, certain kinds of business will, Of
course, be more or less affected. Rich
furniture will either remain in store, or
be sold cheap. So of rich dress goods,
musical instruments, carriages and fancy
vehicles. Some may have to part with
their fine horses, and fine houses, and
these must be sold at a deprecated price.
if sold at all. The bare necessaries Of
life are all that people in straitened cir
cumstances ought to purchase while the
hard times last, no matter what may b
the consequence, no matter how this
course may affect peoples standing in
society. Better by far to practice pra-
dent economy and pay what one owes.
than to continue to live cxtravagaatly
and fashionably at the expense Of ths
store-keepcr, grocer or butcher.

A Lifo.PiotufO.

"Comc, my dear, come homo with
NO." The touching tenderness of those
words made me stop instantly to see .
woman scarcely thirty years Of ago ca
deavoring to persuade her husband
drunk-to 90 home. 1t was I I o'clock
at night and as the street lamp near By
threw its brilliant gas light on her coun.
tenance, saw she had been and was
still beautiful. She held her little clean.
ly dressed son, about seven years old.
BY one hand, and the other lay upon her
husbands shoulder. He was swinging.
to and fro, tottering from the efieots Of
drunkenness during that Sabbath day.
The tone of her voice with its wo-
manly kindness so sadly sweet. and .
single glance at that scene, revealed ton
years Of her history. In his early man
hood he had invited her with tones Of
love to "come" with him upon the jour.
ney Of life. And two years Afterwards
there was ''home" where that boy
vas oherub infant, and she that hus-
bands angel friend. Her whole heart
was then filed with double tenderness
for the new being that strengthened the
ties Of love that cluster around every
association of those dear words home.
wife and mother. But while the angel
spirit of the child inspired her maternal
love, the demon fend of Rum Was seis-
ing her husbands soul. No words can
tell the blighted hopes, the anguish of
her heart, as year by year she became
the drunkard's wife. The moral beauty
Of her love still unfaded, had led her,
with lingering hope to seek him in the
street.
Sad and weary with the search, she
met him going still further from home.
and as she still begged him to ''coms
home," that beautiful boy whose fsos
showed the fathers features embellished
with the mothers earlier loveliness.
looked up in her face with childhood's
sympathy and then at his fathers.
For half \ minute while q hundred
thoughts auttersd through my mind.
she had not perceived that I noticed
her. Again she spoke "Come home, il
is not far" but his reply, with thick
tongue, maudlin drunk, was q oold un-
feeling mo-" for Rum had burned up
every kindly sentiment and human feel
ing. The instant she saw me she step-
ped on tho other side of him, approach
ed him closer, and with as sweet look
as her half broken heart would permit.
she said in a lower but earnest tone.
"Oh do come home now"
turned away, Icouid not endure the
