Summer of the falls generally exceeds
in length that of the Eastern States,
and far surpasscs it i'll beauty and

In the winter, spring and fall

severe cold weather we have it
with dry pure atmosphere, free
from togs and wet SHOWS. II we have
relaxation of it, we have not the
same atmosphere, liable to change ut
times to extremes, and far more niuri-
ous to the human constitution, and
far more productive of coughs asthma,
fever and epidemics, than a strictly
uniform climate. Hence we sec in
this climate comparatively few cases
Of original disease, such as consump-

A Western Printing Office.

The editor of the Eddyville Com
mercial gives the following account Of
his compositors
There is Willie--only fourteen
years of age-and small at that--at
his stand deciphering the manuscript,
and putting it into type. Willie is
fully cuqal to the best hand that has
ever been in the office, being both Il
speedy and accurate compostor, and
is besides posted generally as to
the news and business connected with
the paper.
And there is Harriet, as neat as a
new pin, busily engaged over a telc-
graphic dispatch, occupying another
stand, on a high stool to make her
high enough-she is ten years Of age.
Near her is her little sister Ettie, who
is two years younger, puzzling over
some hard word which Willie explains
to her satisfaction, and she goes ahead
with new alacrily.
In the corner, on a very high stool,
is little Fred setting up the latest
news from Kansas, proud of the digni-
ty of his profession. He is but six
years of age.

INFLUENCE OF TRADE.

Men rail at trade, and the pliloso-
phcr and lover of man will have much
harm to say Of it but the historian
of the world will see that trade was
the principle of liberty that trade
peopled America and destroyed feud-
alism that it makes peace and keeps
peace and it will abolish slavery.
We complain of the grievous oppres-
sion of the poor, and of its bui!linG
up new aristocracy on the ruins Of
the aristocracy it destroyed. But
there is this immense difference, that
the aristocracy of trade has no perma-
ncncc, is not entailed, was the result
of toll and talent, the result of merit
of some kind, and is continually
falling, like the waves Of the sea, be-
fore new claims of the same sort.
Trade is an instrument in the hands
Of that friendly Power which works
for US in our own despite. We de-
sign it thus and thus but it turns out
otherwise and far better. This be-
neticent tendency, omnipotent with
out violence, exists and works.

The Great Northwest.

The United States Census, which
according to law will be taken in
1860, will show the great Northwest
a Republic in itself. In extent il far
surpasses the Southern and Eastern
States combined, and the figures will
show that in the increase of its popu-
lation and wealth it has left other sec
tions of the Union clear in the back
ground. Among the States SO dcsig-
mated will number then the following {:
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, X kansas,
and Nebraska.
These States and Territories are now
represented in Congress by twelve
Senators, fifty-six Representatives and
three Delegates. Under the Census
of 1860, with the present ratio of rep
resentation, they will be entitled to
eighteen Senators, and from eighty to
ninety Representatives far more than
enough to hold the balance of power
i'll both branches of Congress, between
the North and the South. Instead of
tiddling second to these sections of
the Union, and being set aside when-
ever the emoluments of government
are distributed, the world in future
will know there IS Vest. 1t only
wants concert of action, combination
if need be, like our brethren of the
South, to have our proper influence in
public affairs. The valley of the Mis-
sisssppi and the basin Of the Great
Lakes must inevitably be the political
as well as the commercial centre of
this great nation-such is manifest
destiny. The trade of these inland
seas now equals our own foreign trat-
tic-a fact which, lately announced in
Congress by one of our Western Rep
rcsentatives, was dispatched by tclr-
graph to the associated Press, start
ling the whole country.
1t is time this western world threw
off its swaddling clothes and began
to set up business for itself 1t has
been in the hands of guardians long
enough. 1t is of age, as we in the
West count years, and its manhood
should now be asserted. We are de-
pendent on nobody for anything. We
raise all we want to eat and wear,
and have productive resources
enough to feed and clothe the world
besides. We have a commerce of
our own, both foreign and domestic.
We have the largest prairies, long
est railroads, and richest lands on the
globe. We have all the elements of
individual happiness and national
greatness that any people can desire,
and we only need the determination
to consult our common interest and
combine our political power to consti-
tute ourselves the centre and soul of
this rising Republic. Shall we do it !!
Shall we now break off our vassalagc
to other and older parts of this Union
and take our position as the integral
but independent part of the nation, or
shall we continue on as mere appen-
dage to the Government What say
our brethren of the press on the sub
ject? Let us hear from you, gentle
men. We know there are minds
among you that do their own think
ing. Let lis see if we cannot combine
and wake up spirit in the West
that will do its own acting.

AN ODD TRICK.

One morning an elegantly dressed
young man made his appearance in
Broadway he wore lavender kids,
was habitcd in black and sported su-
perb linen-bearing an immense bas-
ket Of lucifer matches, which he pro-
ccedcd to sell at two cents a box. mar
rating, meanwhile, with hdch appa-
rent iiunul ablv uduciur, Il strange story.
He was in love with young lady, he
was wealthy and accomplished, but
the cruel papa was of stern, practical
mould, and vowed that nobody should
wed his daughter until he had proved
his ability to at least support himself
Finally, the "cruel parient" resolved
that the tenor of this libretto should
have his soprano 50 soon as lie had
sold one million or hundred thousand
boxes (we forget which, of matches,
at retail. The appearance of the
young man confirmed this story, and
he made a very good thing Of it.
Plying young damsels heard the sto-
ry; and "wcnt two cents on aiding
the course of true love to smooth itself.
Testing but sympathising young men,
as they took the matches, offered him
two cents towards happiness. 1t
turned out that the young man was
an imposter, that he had a wife al
ready, and that the whole narrative
was not founded on facts. Still he
earned his money rather severely.
When we think of the amount of puns
which he must have been compelled
to listen TO, on the relations between
his lovc-match which was to come oil,
and the lucifcr matches which wouldn't
go off, we are compelled to admit that,
on the whole, honesty is the best
policy.-N Y Paper.

Canada are in course of preparation
