UNSUCCESSFUL IN THIS LIFE-I confess that

ing respect for those who do not succeed in
life, as those words are commonly used
heaven is said to be a place for those who
have not succeeded upon earth and it is
surely true that celestial graces do not best
thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly
prosperity. Ill success ,ometimes arises from
superabundance of qualities in themselves

too fastidlous, self forgetfulness too roman

VALUE OF SrRAw.-The Alameda County
Herald has the following in regard to straw
We are pleased to notice a more general
disposition manifested among the farmers OF

their straw for winter use. Heretofore it has
been the rule to burn the straw upon the
ground where the threshing was done; and
the exception. to stack it for future use.
Now, we are glad to know That the system
is reversed, aud the rule is to save the straw.
while its destruction by the flames furnishes
the exception. Our farmers have been taught,
10y the very high price of forage last winter
the necessity of providing against a reeur =
renee of this scarcity again. During the last
winter, hay was sold for fabulous prices,
bringing, in some instances, 500 per ton
and we have known good straw to be sold
for $50 per ton. With this experience be.
fore them, it is not surprising to see our
farmers taking measures to preserve their
straw piles.
