ty. Most of f1eTa hiIFe become sud- I
denly wealthy by the rise of real
estate. But the @next chop" are those
that live on what they owe-debt is no
disgrace, SO that you keep up appear
ances-if you don't get trusted some
where you are positively green, sothat
if you have not the substance, you
must have the shadow of fortune
But this is bad talk far Sunday. En-
this country, cares viii infest the sane
tuary of the spirit, if you try to rise
on devotion's warm ferTid glow, the
muck-rake will look more important
than the croacn.
Monday 8th:-Eyery hour, emigrant
wagons moving on, with their calves,
chickens, and babies, expecting to find
homes and fortunes in the glorious
West. Spectators and poets bettertry
that hifalutin on awhile--guess they
would find the prose the bare reality
of existence in this Arcadia. Precious
set of rascals, I wish they we're Danish
ed here for the space Of one year and
six months, their imaginations would
succonlb to the gOneness about their
"stomics.." with all the fertility of soil
hope that somebody will raise enough
to keep people from starvation-four
worth ST per barrel, corn So per
bushel, and tatcr8 can not be bought at
any price. They have figured princi-
pally in the county newspaper, and only
there, for four months.
This morning early company of
Mormons passed through on their
journey to Salt Lake. Women mot
very delicate to be sure) dragging hand
carts ike beasts, one turnbled down in
this black mud which caused slight
halt in the procession, little children
trudged along in their queer foreign
dress looking as determined as their
mothers to see the Eldorado.
The wind is rising. We shall be
blessed with those disagreeable and
almost diobolical blasts from Eolus, q
believe that is the classic name of the
place again blowing little innocent
cabbage and radish plants out Of their
garden beds, and knocking the pegs
down from everything that has a weak
spinal column. Poor Mrs. Brown, who
is lately from New Hampshire, and my
next door neighbor, has retired to her
hen coop, because she IS so afraid that
her rickety house VIII fall from its
foundations-(b built of green Iowa lum-
Der, you understand. Good soul She
has taken bed, with her Bible and
Hymn book, to give comfort and con-
ISOLATION; think if she builds house
she wifi draft it after John Bunyan' S
instructions. Away goes my bonnet
down Spring street; chasing the shreds
of paper and envelopes for quarter
of mile, that lie about the pestofice
The knoll of hazel brush is completely
festooned with them, presenting the
most ludicrous appearance imaginable
There is the School bell; now is the
time to lodge a few ideas in those
little curley heads which are ''bobbine
T round the window.
Tuesday 9h:-Receiyed buquet
this morning of Wild honeysuckles
. pinks and violets, and what is 50 senti
D mental, from an unknown source
D Well see. Mother is darning stock
t ings by the window; wonder if sh,
ever cared for flowers and sweathearts
J. There is no telling what few years
e will do for us. Yes, Augustus Wal
singham usedto be such frail creature
: drank weak tea, fed on moonlight ant
c rose dew, and when he proposed to me
/, he solemnly vowed, that if I refuse,
e him it would break the slender threa'
; of his existence; yesterday | saw him
S and 5elicre me, he u'eighs t'eO hnadre,
