ThisAMonth (~September) ushers


Thismonth (September) ushers
lin the Fall, and as we think of it,
our mind wonders and conjec-
lures as to what will be done du.
ring the long nights coming on.
Already we are cognizant of a
Debating Club formed by a num-
Der of young men in Winchester,
and we are glad of it. They
could not fix up anything to af-
ford them pleasure that would be
of more benefit. But we want
another club or association that
will admit both sexes, and moth
ing fills our eye in this respect SO
completely as that of a Historl-
cal Society. At it the young la
dies and young men, and their
parents can all attend and take
a part, that will prove advanta-
geous to all. We.had such a So
ciety in Winchester two or three
winters since, and it workedlikea
charm. Young men were stimu-
lated to study hard and be prompt
because they did not want the
young ladies to excel them; and
vice versa. Old men, among
whom were teachers and many OF
the best read men of our town,
took part and impaired valuable
information to the young that is
yet doing good work, and having
good effect. There is no telling
of the immense amount OF good
to be derived from a Historical
Society, and wedohopc Winches-
ter will cave one the ensuing win
ter. And not only is the impart-
ing of Information alone to be
considered as an object, but the
sociability and friendly feeling
that this mingling together will
bring about is an important mat
ter. We are in for a Historical
Society, and hope that we shall
have a few seconds among men
in our town, whose appreciation
and aid are sufficient to guaran-
tee success. Will they not think
about the matter seriously, and
take an active part? AS you
value Information yourself, and
wish to see the young acquire it,
we appeal to you.

Fine C0rn.-We have on our

A COOP PREcEpT.-Careles sness in
ordinary speech ought to be guarded
against very zealously. It is not SO
much the abstract necessity Of speak
ing always with grammatical propriety,
and acknowledgements enters into
the consideration, but the pernicious
effects occurring from the contrary prac-
tice. Looseness in diction at home
will creep upon y person until his con-
verse! elsewhere will deteriorate down to
actual vulgarism. If he be writer, a
similar falling away from rule and ell
egance will be perceptiblc. Like a fine
garment, al6ne quality Of the mind
needs care. We crush our cloth, we
sweep our silks and satins, let us be
equally careful in the preservation of

, War LOSSES. The recent fetes at
Paris unwittingly disclosed the losses
of the French army in the Italian war,
much more clearly than did the official
reports of its commanders. The army,
when it first entered Italy, was two hum
dred thousand strong; the number of
troops appearing at the Paris fete was
eighty thousand, and fifty thousand are
still in Italy. There are then missing
seventy thousand soldiers of that mag
ni6cent army that went forth four
months ago to do battle against the
Austrians. Could anything give more
impressive idea Of the fearful destruct-
iveness of war than this fact?
no. "The Rocky Mountains says
Horace Greeley, with their grand, ar
omatic forests, their CLASSY glades, their
frequent springs and dancing streams
Of the brightest, sweetest water, their
pure elastic atmosphere, and their un-
equalled game and fish, are destined to
be favorite resort OF civilized man.
I never visited a region where physical
life could be more surely prolonged OF
fully enjoyed" este

PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS.

In our travels latterly in Iowa and
Minnesota, we have taken especial
pains to ascertain what are the pros
poets of the crops for the present sea-
son. While in Clayton and Allama-
kee counties recently, we saw few
fine fields of fall wheat, all of which,
with single exception, looked well.
On inquiring of farmers from towns
unvisited, we learned that the same
crop looks highly promising, though
the amount Of fall wheat sown was
not large. 1t never is in Northern
Iowa.. as it does not do SO well as
spring wheat. In Southern Minnesota
the prospects of fall wheat are equally
encouraging, if we may judge from
limited observation and much inquiry
Farmers recently met from half doz,
EN- counties, i'll all instances speak OF
their crops as looking well. We did
not hear of field that had been blight.
ed. The prospects of fall wheat in
Western Wisconsin seem to be equal
ly as pleasing. At several points on
the river where we stopped, the news
i'll regard to it is encouraging. A
great deal of grain will be put in the
ground in Wisconsin this SPRING
much more than common.
During the last three or four months
we have visited about thirty counties
in Northern Iowa, and everywhere
learned that the design was to SOW
and plant literally this spring. An
unusual quantity Of spring wheat is
being put into the ground. 1t is alsc
the intention of the farmers to plant
an unusual quantity of corn, so that
should one crop fail, there may be a
good supply Of another. Should the
present be good season for both
wheat and corn, Northern Iowa will
have something to sell next fall and
will be measurably relieved of pecu
mary embarrassment.
The amount of planting and sowing
in Minnesota will be larger this spring
than ever before. For one or two
counties, where there is q scarcity ol
wheat and of money, people in Other
parts OF the State are supplying grain
If there are not heavy crops i'll Min
nesota this year, it will not be because
of lack Of preparation.
The season is little backward, but
not enough, as yet, to discourage any
one. Indeed, for some crops it is al
encouraging feature. Corn, the far
mcrs tell US, rarely fails in late sea
son.
Judging from some observation
considerable inquiry and more read
ing. we think the prospects of tn.
crops in Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon
sin are highly fattering. Let the
people of these States keep up a gooc
heart On a better soil the sun does
not shine. With such agricultural re
sources as these three young common
wealths possess, they must inevitably
become prosperous and wealthy.-Du

Moral Tals.
AIMS IN LIFE.
CONCLUDEp.

Though we were still considered
rich after the death of my father, yet
his property was in SO unproductive a
form, that we found it difficult to meet
the necessary demands for our usual
style of living. Helen and James,
though the youngest members of the
family, were the first to become aware
of the necessity for economy in our
family expenses. James determined,
at once, upon pursuing the medical
profession, disturbed with no regrets
or doubts as to whether he might not
have chosen a more brilliant career /:
my mother and could not determine
what profession or calling l should
embrace, which united the greatest
possible share of advantages, with
the smallest number of disadvantages,
and which would furnish the best
theatre for the display of my talents.
Engineering, medicine, merchandise,
were weighed in the balance, and
found wanting. Law might be wor-
thy of my attention, as stepping
stone to political preferment. With
this profession, too, | thought | might
combine literary pursuits. had long
since determined to write volume of
poetry, as soon as could determine
whether it should be written in the
style of Milton, Burns, or Byron. That
writing and publishing might not be
necessarily connected, had never oc-
Cured to my imagination. With
these lofty, and divided aims, the read
er will be at no loss to divine what
degree of success obtained.
| My first law case was criminal
cause. | undertook the defence of a
man accused of forgery. Ny speech
was delivered with great tiuency,
command Of language, classical quo
tations, literary illusions, but thought
much more Of myself than Of my
cause, and lost it. My friends said
that it was very pretty speech, that
some of the figures l used were wor-
thy of Burke himself, but that | had
not yet learned to descend to the level
of my audience. My enemies said
that it was very little to the purpose,
and that | had shot quite beyond the
mark at which l was aiming. re-
hearsed my speech at the home circle
at my mothers request. She and
