A Coon REsuLT-THAT CoMET!-Mr. Il. u.
received letter from Germany few days ago,
in which he was informed that the Comet
would surely destroy the earth. After perusing
over it he came to the conclusion that he
would devote himself henceforth entirely to
prayer and fasting. The gentleman in question
is stone cutter and does not possess sur
plus to go on. 1t appears that he locked him
self up in room and thus, as he thought,
served the Lord.
His wife seeing that all their means were
nearly exhausted begged him to go to work aud
act like man. The answer she got was this
"If the Lord bids me 60 to work am ready
to obey" The wife said no more, but told the
affair to one of her neighbors. ooh |" says he,
''is that the case. thought your husband was
ill. Never mind, I'll cure him and have him in
the stone quarry in less than no time" The
neighDor said no more, but waited till night
came, then he got a ladder, placed it carefully
against the stone chimney, mounted it and
stopping his head down the chimney cried with
loud voice, "Zacharias, Zacharias " The
man hearing this answered, "Lo-lo-lord, whwha-
what's the manatter?" "Thou shalt go to
work and be a man." The next day Mr.. G. z.
picked up the shovel and the hoe and went on
his way rejoicing
HINTS FOR WHOM IT MAY CoNCERN.-Our
Provision dealers are importing butter, cheese,
potatoes and white beans, from the Eastern
States We are eating Vermont, New York
and Ohio butter and chcese-white beans from
New Hampshire, pickles and preserved fruits
from Baltimore and Cincinnati potatoes from
Illinois, Wisconsin and even New York, and
corn, oats and hay from Illinois, at prices
heretofore unknown.
We are using Chicago and Eastern wagons
and ca rages Rockford and Beot reapers
and mowers Ohio threshers and cleaners, Cin-
cinnati and Eastern furniture, Ohio stoves and
hollow ware, &c, &c.
We must raise our own provisions, churn
our own butter and grow our own fruits and
vegetables, if we would have our prosperity
healthy and permanent. And if we would not
be Impoverished we must have among US the
manufacturers of our implements, tools, ia
brics, &c. As we do not want millions OF
acres Of land lying idle while we are buying
provisions abroad-so we do not want to burn
Illinois coal while our own beds remain uL-
opened, or import what is found in our own
mines, and only needing the necessary hands to
work them We want thousands of sturdy Ia
borers to cultivate our fertile praries, build our
Railroads, make our furniture, tools, &c.
