THE JOURNAL Is NOW ENTERING ITS
i Thirty-scventh volume. II was established
In ls22, and Is the oldest paper in Indiana 1t Is
equal in age 20 the City OF indianapolis, and Is
nearly as old rs our State Government. 1t was os-
tabliShed when Indiana little else than will
derness and when indianapolis scarcely existed ex
cept in name. II has lived and grown upon us own
merits--seldom receiving Official patronage or gov
etnmentai favors. It's name Is as "hcusehold

state, and its position upon all public mattcrs--po-
itical or otherwisc--is we'll known that anything

hons now before the people would be superhuous.
While the Journal will continue 20 advocate the
great principles of freedom, and give its support TO

acting with the party when right and regulating II
when wrong--it will be for the coming year moro Of
family paper than IL has ever yet boon, and be
mado moro acceptable to the general reader than

DUTIES OF FARMERS.

There is something worth living fol
besides money. That is very good
but it is not all. With the rest, let US
raise a crop of good ideas. While
you are farmers, remember also thai
you are men with duties and RESPONSE
bilities. Live down the old brutal no
ton that a farmer must be uncouth
unthinking and uncducated-a mere
ploddrapps. You are brought into i'm.
mediate contact with the great heart
of civilization. You cannot get out
of the buzz of the toiling world. The
thrill of the woodworking wires,
and the rumble of the locomotive,
(the thunder tread of nations, come
to your once secluded hillside. Move
towards better life. Do not keep
your boys corn Smelling all the long
winter evenings. Make your farms a
place that your sons and daughters
cannot help loving. Cultivate the
trees-they are Gods messengers.
Care much for books and pictures.
Don't keep solemn parlor into which
you go but once month with the
parson, Or the gossips of the sewing
society. Hang around your walls
pictures which shall tell stories
Of mercy, hope, courage, faith and
charity. Make your living room the
largest and most cheerful in the house.
Let the place be such that when your
boy has gone to distant lands, or even
when, perhaps, he clings to a single
plank in the lonely waters of the wide
ocean, the thought of the old home
stead shall come across the waters of
desolation, bringing always light,
hope and love.
Have nodungeons about your house
no rooms you never open--no blinds
that are always shut. Don't teach
your daughters French before they
can weed flower-bed or cling to a
side-saddle; and, daughters, do not be
ashamed Of the trowel or the pruning.
knife; bring to your doors the richest
flowers from the woods cultivate the
friendship of birds-study botany,
learn to love nature, and seek higher
cultivation than schools can give you.

and all other diseases of the alimentary canal
or general health, which is caused by an atfec-
ton of the liver or portal circle, these pills are
invaluable.
For jaundice, take one or two pills every
night. Should there be loss of appetite, or
general debility or languor, use the bitters I'M
til these symptoms are removed
These pills may be taken in all cases where
an aperient alternative or cathartic is required
Dyspepsia and liver complaint with all their
attendant evils, can positively be cured by a
perserering use of these pills in connection
with the bitters When cough exists in con-
ncction with any disease for which these pills
are recommended, take the Pectoral Syrup OF
Wild Cherry, prepared by the proprietor and
the patient will be thoroughly and radically
cured. These pills being of vegetable origin,
no injurious effects will he produced under any
circumstances by their use. Adults or chill
dren can take them constantly when required.
The dose for child three or four years old
from one to two pills. and for children eight
or nine years old, from two to three pills at
bedtime
Females will find these pills very mild and
uniform in their operations, and the very med
icine needed by large class of females
Let all remember that the Great Western
Pills are designed expressly for use in bilious
climates, and are far better than those put up
in the east, where little is known in regard to
the peculiar diseases of the climate.

From the Iowa Farmer
THE PEANUT, OR PINDAR.
FAIRFIELD. Iowa. NoY. 4. lS5

FAIRFIELD, Iowa, Nov. 4, 1857.
GEN WLsoN:-I send you a sample
of the "Ground-nut," peanut" or
Pindar" (Araehis hypQgao,) from a
small patch cultivated in my garden
last season. To raise them l SOW the
seeds in drills, leaving the plants
about eight inches apart. The rows
should be about two feet apart, in or
der to allow room to procure earth to
cover up the little yellow flowers as
they appear from time time. Soon
after these flowers are buried, little
tender white pods take their places,
which along toward autumn when
full-grown and mature, assume yell
lowish cast. This is the ripe nut
The vines continue growing and bios
soming until frost comes in the fall,
but the first frost kills them. Ifprop-
erly attended, by being kept certified
up as the flowers appear, they will
yield from so to GO fold. The nuts
are usually double, and sometimes
triple in the pods or shells. They re-
guire a good alluvial soil, but will
grow well on sandy land, and have
no doubt if properly managed, will
yield seventy-five bushels to the acre
They will grow in a climate and soil
where potatoes will flourish, and
should be put in the ground about the
time that early potatoes are usually
planted, and dug when frost comes in
the fall. They are prepared for us by
being first permitted to dry, and then
slightly scorched or roasted. This
destroys their raw, bean-likc taste
and renders them the palatable deli
cious nut that we buy at the shop,
for 10 cents quart, at which rate al
acre yielding sevcnty-five bushcl
would be worth $l40.
Let me suggest to the boys win
are so fond of nuts that they ma,
raise a good years supply of nic'
Peanuts with a quart or two of tho
unbaked seed, little patch of GROUND
and a little healthful exercise. And
let me also suggest that it might be
cultivated in Iowa with profit as an
article of commerce. l think the eli
mate and soil we'll adapted to it.
A. Il. FULroN.
The specimen, given us by Mr.. F.,
in appearance and taste, are precise
ly like those sold in our stores, with
the exception, they are larger and of
better quality. The addition of this
nut in our gardens, if not cultivated
for sale, will be found quite an addi-
ton to our lille comforts. Try it,
boys, and see what you can make out
of producing a delicious nut for which
you are entirely dependent upon i'm
portation. "A penny saved is pen
ny earned."--Ep. FARMER.

1t Only Seems the Other Day.
BY r. l.. BLANCHARD.

Though swiftly time, with rapid wings,
Has borne us from old scenes we knew,
Yet memory oft the picture brings
In glowing colors back to view;
Thus early friends remember when
They first as schoolboys met in play,
And yet, though years have passed since then
1t only seems the other day"
The form Of her we loved of yore,
To whom we pledged affections vow,
Will glide before our eyes once more,
Though but in memory living now;
OF that dark hair one tress alone
a treasured gifts spared decay,
Yet words in that familiar tone
Seem only breathed g the other day.
Those friends appear no more the samcl
That share our mirth and dried our tears,
Or taught us childhood S fiivorite game
The dear old friends of early years;
But when we ask if they forget
Those memories of the past. they say
"Tho' time has wrought some changes, yet
1t only seems the other day"
