and lofty aspirations To aid in this great
work is the duty of every one, and partic-
ularly of those who are young and vigor-
GUS in mind and body, who should gather
inspiration from the hum of industry that
greets US on all sides, and contribute their
aid, either of head or hand, to the great
aggregate of effort that is demanded by
the age, to promote the accomplishment of
the moral and physical improvements on
the tapis; and in the language of Osgood,

THE CHOCTAws.-The Choctaw Nation
seems to be model community. All
lands, it is said, are held in common, and
each Indian, or those connected with him
by affinity or consanguinity, settle down,
and no one is allowed to come nearer than
quarter of a mile of this enclosure and
that is his claim, and he is protected in his
possession by the laws of the nation, as
though it were his in fee simple. Mer.
chants, mechanics, professional men, ma.
chnists, &C., are allowed to live there by
permit from the Council, but no one is al
lowed to produce anything more than is
necessary for the use of himself and his
family outside of his trade or profession,
Not drop of spirituous liquor is allowed
to be given away, or transported through
the Nation; and all that is found by the
officer is poured out, and if found in any
wagon, er-craft, or on horseback, the
whole establishment is confsoated to the
use of the Nation.

A Sheriffs officer was sc mt to execute a
writ against Quaker. On arriving at the
house he saw the Quakor's wife, who in
reply to the inquiry whether her husband
was at home, answered in the affirmative,
at the same time requesting him to be
seated, and her husband would speedily see
him. The officer waited patiently for some
time, but the Quakeress coming into the
room, he reminded her of her promise,
that he should see her husband. "Nay
friend, promised that he should see thee.
He has seen thee. He did not like thy
looks, therefore he avoided thee, and has
left the house by another path"

Blessings Of a Rural Life.

Cultivate love for the country; the
serene joys which a rural life can afford
are preferable to the noisy, and alas, too
often, vicious qualifications which we seek
amid the whirl of city life. The city as
it were the souls affections to the earth
the business too often hides from our eyes
the fair face of Nature, and lead us to
forget the glorious God that made us, and
to whom we are indebted for life, and all
things.
Napid, empty and artificial are the joys
of city life when compared with the sa.
cred delights which a rural residence can
give to mind rightly constituted. Soil
tary communion with Nature is one of the
holicst delights which the world can be-
stow--a delight which is sure to benefit
the world which enjoys it. Purity is en-
stamped on Natures form, and communion
with her is purer and lovely and of good
report.
In every season of the year residence
in the country has beneficial effect on
the human soul. In Spring when trees
again put on their singing robes, and mur-
muir forth the praises of Him who made
them. Spring has tendency to give
buoyancy to the sprts-that heart is cal
lous which does not awake and sing when
all things around are beaming with hope
and promise.
In Summer, the blushing flowers arc
seen amid the rural retreats, and seem,
methinks, like stolen glorics from Para.
disc then the singing birds trill forth
melodies, the purcst and sweetest ever
heard on earth, which may well raise the
thoughts away from this vanishing world
of ours to the glory land beyond.
In Autumn the country teaches us wis
dom lessons; the whispers that are heard
when the leaves are falling, seem, me-
thinks, sweet echoes from the angel world
telling that we, too, must fade and vanisl
like the leaves of the forest, and be fount
no more on earth at all.
In winter, we are led to revere the wis
dom and power of Him who docth al
things well-who hath hid the flowers be
meath a snow mantle to enhance our Joy
on again bcholding them; and who send
the storms to purify the atmosphere, an,
the rain to cause the earth to bring fortl
fruit in its season.
To the thoughtful mind, reflections sucl
as are suggested by rural life, whicl
should not be decried as listless and un
pleasant Communion with Nature cal
give more real joy than man ever fount
in the pursuit of the pleasure of a cit.
life.

ALWAYS do as the sun does-look at
the bright side of everything. For while
it is just as cheap, it is three times as good

a CUTE Yankee, in Kansas, sells liquor

The Wind and the Breeze.

mighty wind went raging by,

Stout trees bent their branches high
Dark clouds Of dust whirled through the sky,
And nanght around me could / spy,

A little breeze passed gently Ger.
Israrecly heard its tread;
Yet freshness TO the flowers II bore.
And through the open cottage door
Their fragrance foatcd in once more
Around the sick mans head

Along the path ofhunan woe,

Communications
More Rods Needed, &c.

More Rods Needed, sc.
It is often said our supervisors are lay
no out too many roads. BIT let us look
t the other side Of the que stion. There
il not one-fouIth Of the lands Of Lancaster
Worth town vet under fence, and there are
more forties, eighties, and quarter-sections
# land without roads to them than there
are farms fenced which have roads to them.
Now would it not be far better to have
roads laid on good ground while the land
is unfenced than to lay out roads to each
new farm when demanded, and then to he
laid up and down the sitieling and rocky
bluffs and round the corners Of fenced
farms?
Where roads are on good ground they
ought not to be allowed to be fenced up,
aud turned round on bad and waehy ground
Us in too many instances has been done.
But the chief cause Of bad roads is the large
road districts, by which persons are called
on to 90 so far from home to work where
they fee, they have no interest in the road
when worked. Now why cannot the town
Lancaster adopt, what other towns have
done and ore doing, viz: divide the So
sections in nine districts, giving four square
miles to each; so as 40 one would be cali
ed to 90 over two miles to work out his
road tax and the average distance only
one mile. This plan would cause one-third
more work to lie done, as most persons are
interested IN having road Helr th II own
homes. By dividing in four se,tion dis
tiicts all outside lines would be section lines
many Of which would be roads. This
would enable the supervisors to arrange
e9uitably the road work according to the
taxes Of each district, and moi as now, some
districts having little taxes and much roads.
while Others have much roads and little tax
es to work on them.
One thing more permit me to call the
Of the tax payers to, that is, hsw-
inc few dollars spent on a town map. III
there were in the town clerks Office a map
giving the roads and school districts, it
would remove a vast deal Of The ignorance
which now prevails, and III time cause ma
ny OF the pre- ent wrongs to some families
as to school districts to be corrected; and
as to roads those which are almost useless
and should be vacated would easily be SEEM
And when roads are called for the map
would enable persons to see if ,,ney are need
d, and thus whether the petitions should
be signed or whether they should be oppo-
e by reGonstr.ance3; and not as il is now,
more parties sign them in darkness than
rom rea.son for the good Of The public.

Who are the Friends of the
Homestead Bile
This question was pointedly and truth
fully answered by Mr.. Grow few days
since, when hesaid:
Three times within seven years, homo
stead bib has passed this house, and been
defeated each time by the Democratic
majority in the Senate. On the vote on
the homestead biIin the House last Con
gress, out of one hundred and thirty Dem
ocrats, but thirty one voted for it; and in
the Senate, on the test vote between taking
up the homestead bill, after it had passed
the house, and only required the vote Of
the Senate to make it a law, SO far as Con
gress was concerned, or to take up the bill
for the purchase Of Cuba, but one Dem
ocrat voted for the homestead, ard only
six at any time; while every Republican in
the Senate, and every one in the House,
with single exception, was for the home
stead. OF all the Representatives Of the
slave States, but three in the House voted
for it; and but two at any time, in the
Senate. So the Democratic party, arrayed
itself in opposition to this beneficent policy.
TIE Republican party, on the other hand, is
committed TO fhelneasure by its votes in Con-
gress, by its resolves in the State Conven-
tions,anf by its devotion to the great cen
tral idea Of its existence-the rights and
interests Of free labor.
