Now IS THE THE TO SETTLERS THE
NEsT.-Why? Because food is plen-
~ and cheap and may be had fol- Ia
Dor; hence the new conner may get a
start and settlement without being re-
lleved of all of his spare change. Be
cause lands are cheap, and improve
ments may be purchased of those whose
ambition prompted them to spread far
beyond their means. They will sell
cheap, and content themselves with
fewer acres and less speculation. Be
cause spectators are embarrassed and
the tine lands and beautiful sites they
clutched SO tightly do not ''realize' for
them, and the taxes are knawine hole
IN their profits. They will sell. Be
cause mechanics are coming from the
East, and there will be less embarrass-
ment for want of buildings. They
must exchange their labor for food
Because compared with former years,
one is not obliged to forego the priv
leges and society enjoyed in the East
Churches, schools and society have be-
come established. Because the winter
is open and lands may be selected to
advantage now; the spring promises to
be early, and more work may be ac-
complshed. Teams are cheaper now
than they will be two months hence
Those who come first will be the best
served in every respect. Much may
be obtained for small amount Of
money.-Joau7sal Of 1gricultnre.

Walking.

ltis astonishing to see how few people
have ever learned to mix properly. The
art of pedestrian locomotion is OTTO Of the
earliest Of human acquir4ments, yet hardly
one in ten does it gracefully or character
istically. In the city, people all walk in
too much Of q hurry---they seem to have
no time % straightcn out the hinge -joint,
at the end of each step, but go trotting
along. with bended legs. leaning forward,
and presenting altogether, q very ridicu-
lous appearance. In the country. the
heavy, stiff boots generally worn. and the
soft nature of the ground, give the walker
the air of having thirty.six pound shot
fastened to his ankles. He does not bend
his knees Mt all, but drass his feet after him
as with an effort. Women very rarely walk
we'll. Even those who dance, sit, stand,
or recline with the greatest grace. cannot
walk easily, and it is positively Unpleasant
to see many ladies perform pedestrksnG uty.
In walking, one should keep the sh0ttlders
back we'll, and fftoFe the feet neither too
fast nor too slow, The toes should be
turned out. and the knee;junts entirely
strsightend ateaeh step. The carriage OF
che Head has much TO do Hith the gait
and should be upright. though not stiff
1t would be an excellent i1eas for walking
to be taught in schools, as regular branch
of exercise. especially in this country
where its beneficial effects. ard value il
giving grace and ease TO all other move
ments, are DO universally Ignored.
