they can fence each thirty three acres with
a good plank fence; and With the labor 81

WIN sooV man could not purchase land
enough IN the east to raise two hundred

IN the east, come here-buy you farm With
your S2OO-improye it with the $500 you
have left, and in o few years you will be-
rich, and can 60 back and buy out the rich

ON THE RAIL. -
The following admirable sketch of tho,
Interior of railroad car at day break, is.
rom the Chicago Journal. Night passen-
,ers will appreciate its truthfulness: 'As@F
I Long before we hear the roar of wheels
sc see the glimmer Of a growing Light
6righter and broader it opens, like the Cy-g
,lopian unwinking eye tits; the head light Of
he train. Then the steady jar, then the
mingled clank as of a thousand shaken
:hains, and the cars are here. sAH abcard,'
md sall right follow each other in quick
and we are breathing the close
md crowded dormitory. The car lamps
ave gone out; disguised. the little wakcful-
less of the sleepers has subs;ded, and a dim
noring outline Of cloaks and frightened
ooking heads, focked here and there like 4
roubled sea, with white, compose the land
cape; while over all, like pendu d MS, swing
,lethoric carpet bags, slowly to and fro.
ind little satchels brisk as mantle clocks.
ind bonnets made of nothing, dance Up and
lown like blossoms in rain; all timed to
he motion of the train. ''
But the dim gray turns to a cold eyed
rhite, and the breathing bundles begin to,
tir; out of an egg shaped package, is hatch.
q woman, with locks disheyeled, like
Venus from the sea. A throe or two, and
. rougher, head emergcs from CLOAK and
hawl, and shakes itself awake. A shape
ess heap turns out man, bearded like
J pard. A pair of boots thrust up like
'owsprits, goes out Of sight, as owner comes
n view. One is soothing an ,rritated hat
With gentle touches Of his elbow; another
oulling at his wilted collar. Disordered
rcsses are smoothcd with hasty touches Of
he hand, and crumpled sleeves persuaded
nto shape. One lady has learned her lesson
rom Grimalkin, and makes her toilet pre-
,isely like cat. f@5@ H'saf'5. sHs'.Ew
The cold clear light of early morning is
always trying to human beauty; there are
10 tints to be borrowed, no softening shade

,nc out Of countenance. But in railroad
rain the ordealis appalling. II face ever
ooks faded, it is then; il the hair has any
gray in it, it is sure .'to show;v wrinkles are
read like sign board afar OF. II there Be
discomfort in the heart. il comes up into tho

: Every body has experienced That curiosity
almost suspense--with which
,ne waits for coming iantern or coming
morning, when he has wedged his way in q
stage coach, or dark car at night; curiosi-
y to see, who has persisted in making pill
ow of his shoulder, or whose feet have been
,ntangled with his own, or who has been
'sying sthc smart things' in the dark, or who
Produced that snore that strangely mingled
j sneeze and bark. And the curiosity \,
mutual, and with light comes decorum. The
,pcn mouth is shnt up with Jerk; human
ettcr KS are closed ike pair OF conpas.
'es, the man that was crled like o dandeliou
'tem, and the man that bowed likea bulrush
,avc disappeared, and all are esct up in
ows like SO many tenpins. Who owned
he snore, and who the wit, are problems to
10 studied out at one's leisure. S.af 81
