their household effects, bu, also their farm

week, on their way to Southern Kansas. Neo-

from these emigrants that the roads from

emigration; that heavy tide Of emigration
from that State is on tho move 10 tho above

20 make as great speed as possible, In order
to Keep away from the crowd, and to obtain

The Ed ucation Of Laber.

Some parents are strict to require daily
physical exercise OF their children before and
after school, in the way ofalsbor. To this
course some are prompted ~ necessity and
others by principle. Iheix 6hildren are re.
quired each day to perform given amount
Of work. This is in particular true Of farm
ers aud others in rural districts. And If the
labor be appropriate in kind and amount the
value Of this practice cannot be over est
mated. Evay child should be carefully
practiced 10 sosle ueeful and industrial oc-
eupatien. No ethor education n more i'm
pariant. Work is the great law TO which
God and nature bind US. AS preyenter Of
evil and producer of good, there is nothing
in all the world like industry; like hard
vyrk. Our children had better be raised in
ignorance Of books than of all kinds Of pro.
tueiive industry. This truth applies to the
children OF the wealthy . Nh rs to oil 9th.

But seriously, do not the highest and dear
est interest Of society demand that in the
school as we'll as in the family, the idea
should be made prominent, that labor is alike

have our youth educated to look upon work,
daily work, hard work, as unbecoming ladies

himself to gain by manual labor and honest
and honorable livelihood, it might be well

BaboousntHome.

A new work has just been published in
England, By Capt. A. W. Drayson, Of the
Royal Artillery, entitled "Sportink Scenes
among the Caf6rs Of South Africa." We
extract from a review of it the following
amusing description Of On ape family:
| watched them through my glass, and
was much amused at their Rrotesqus and a.
most human me- nants. Some OF the old
ladies had thsif branches in their lips,
and appeared tors ssdoing their hair;" while
partriarchal-looking old fellow paced back
ward and forward with . fussy sort Of look !;
ne was evidently on sentry, and seemed to
think himself OF no small Importance. This
aaliuate Of his dignity did not appear to be
unissrsally acknowledged, as two or three
young Aehoo1e eeAplose behind him, watch
ing his proceeaiA{na. Sometimes, with the
most grotcsqu6 xk6s0msnts and expressions,
they would stand directly in his path and hob.
bic away only ct the last moment. One da-
ring youngster followed close or the heels Of
~ patriarch during the whole length OF his
bees and gave sharp tug at his tail AZ he
w1e about to turn. The old fellow seemed
to treat it with the greatest indifference,
scarcely turning round at the insult. Mas.
ter lmpudence was about repeating the per-
formance, when the pater, showing that he
was not such fool as he looked, suddenly
sprang round, and, catching the young one
before he could escape, gave him two or
three such cuffs that could hca. the screams
that resulted therefrom. The venerable gen.
tleman then chucked the delinquent over his
shoulder, and continued his promenade with
the greatest GOODNESS. The old baboon, evil
IDENTIFY, was acquainted with the practical de-
tails of Solomon's proverb. A crowd gath
cred round the naughty child, who, childlike
seeing commiseration - shrieked oil the
louder. even fancied could see the angry
glAnces Of the mamma, as she took her dear
| littls pet in her arms, and removed it from a
| rspctiton Of such brutal treatment.

local discoveries serve 10 Easrsase sss sH.s-e-

The Des Moines papers speak somewhat
confidently Of the value of the discoveries in
that vicinity. And in its last issue the ciii-
zen of that place Gays:
few DAYS since, we received letter from
Mr. Simonds, Of Sayloesille, il thls county,
containing black sand. With due edmixture
of the glil1ering ore.. The letter states that
the discov rs msde some two miles from
Saylorvine pa the premises Of Mr.. Hatch.
One day - week, our citixeus were star
tied by the rumor that the shining metal had
been hunted down near the foas bridge in
this city, on the west side of the river. In
short time, hundreds Of people had gath
cred ut the interesting spot, and pans and
spades were placed in immediate use % 80
out the precious article. II was soon found
conyincipgly true that gold is imbedded in
the heart Of our city. We saw specimens
that were unmistakably eoldt They stood
tenance; and it is generally believed that
mer stage, rich deposits Of the precious min
eral will be disclosed by mining. At other
places in the corporation, We learn that the
search for gold has been successful and in
some instances nuggets OF very respect
able size have rewarded the lsbors Of the
gold-hunters.
The number of mines in Marion, Warren,
Madison, Clark, and adjacent counties is
daily increasing, and reports are still favor
able a. to the success Of their labors. A
great majority Of these gold seekers are old
Californians, and must have cut their eye
teeth on the golden shore Of the Pacific, and
yet they are digging and prospecting with
high hopes of success.
The diggings in johnson and Iowa coun-
ties are attracting people in the vicinity,
and new discoveries are reported in Page
and Taylor counties, and also 10 the vicinity
OF Fort Dodge.
While it is too wet to plow, people may
do well to ssprospect," and If digging will
pay better than blowing, let them dig.

from the 3lss district has spairsd,' or is
