OUTSET IN LIFE.

Who that has ever seen the young about to
embark on the great sea of the world" can
have failed to mark the elasticity of spirit
with which they enter on the new stage of ex-
istence? The present is regarded as nothing
the past is looked on as a watch of the night
and the future alone is esteemed the end and
object of life. Age takes its pleasure from
"nnemory; :" youth centres its joys to the
"hopes" of the FUTURE physiology, which be-
longs neither to the young nor TO the old ex-
clusively, has regard to the present and sobers
its vision of what is to come by experience,
and time alone must be their monitor. The
silver hairs, and the furrowed brow and tot
tering step must GALL come ere we fully re-
alize the unwelcome truth that, in our schemes
and prospects of enjoyment, distance alone has
lent enchantment to the view that under the
fairest pleasures there have ever lurked
insidious thorns, and that the gorgeous shapes
that have foated before us in golden magnif.
cence have been but as monster soap bubbles
which the first breath of six shattered into an
Inhalation.

The Pixies Peak Excitement.

The Pixies Peak gold fever. we observe, is
again becoming prevalent throughout the coun-
try, and will doubtless 'scarry off F." scores and
hundreds Of young and middle aged men.
1t carried off many last year-carried them
towards the Rocky Mountains, leaving the
bodies OF some on the way, to be eaten by the
wolves breaking down others in health, for
tune and spirits to return eastward in desperate
straits and landing the more venturesome and
determined, who were properly equipped for
the privations, discomforts and hardShips OF
pioneer life, high and dry on the golden peak.
Though still satisfied that there was much
humbug mixed up ia the general excitement
about these gold discoveries in the Pixies Peak
region, last Spring and Summer, we are also
more satisfied than we were then that there is
gold there, abundance Of it, perhaps; and there
is one class of men who would well go there
namely those who have. means and ''pluck
enough to undergo the difficult and hazardous
journey thither, and who, when they get there
shall be provided against unfavorable contin-
gencies, beyond the danger of starving to death
or dying from exposure.
Undue enthusiasm and excitement in mat
ter of this kind, is always likely to result in
rash steps. In nothing should we allow an i'm
moderate zeal OR magnifed anticipations to get
the better of sober reason and calm judgment.
The man who, brought by wild enthusiasm
to the belief that he can cross the sea in bark
canoe, attemps the mad undertaking, is only
preparing a feast of himself for a certain con-
vocation of polite sharks.
Let us say, then, to those who contemplate
a trial of their fortunes in these far off wilder
ness gold mines go not unless you can go pre-
pared to face danger, to endure the toughest
of hardships and are equipped with all neces-
sary means of keeping the body and soul to-
gether for at least six months after you reach
the mines, and have enough left, at the end
of that time, to go back with, in case fortune
should fail to smile upon you or bring your
fond hopes to a fruition of wealth. -.
Thousands will go there this year, hundreds
of whom will be disappointed in their expecta-
tions. Those best able to cope with obstacles,
endure rough life and withstand the vices
that always attend life of this kind, will be
the most likely to be fortunate in the end, and
return, if they ever return at all, rich men.
Think seriously of what is before you, and
weigh carefully the chances of your doing bet
ter there than you are now doing here, and be
sure you are prepared against danger and ex-
posure and starvation before you make the ven
ture.-Chtcago Journal.

"a good farmer in aneighborhood is great

This is very true, and it is encouraging to
every one who is trying to bring about a bet

those who are to be his neighbors and COM
panions. Whatever may be mans political
or his personal preferences, if his example
be good, if he show on his own farm better

those who know him, and he will be iIhitateds
and thus improvements will go on. -.-t %

a Singular Affair.

Sometime near 1885, Levi Jennings left the
community of Shakers in Union village, War
rem county, Ohio and came to this county and
settled near Eilnvood. His wife remained be-
hind with the Shakers, and Jennings took an
other wife. He lived here with his second wife
till somewhere about 1847, when he sold out
his farm, paying his first or bona fde wife
81 900 to perfect the title to the purchs ser; ;
and sending his second wife back to Der friends
in Vermlllion county, returned again to the
Shakers at Union Village. He remained with
them however, only two years, when he came
back to Illinois again resumed his connection
with his wife No. 2, and settled at East Cam
bridge, in Henry county, where he went large
ly into sheep raising. Jennings frequently Wis
tied this city on business, and during one of
his excursions here. was thrown from his wag-
on and so severely injured that his life was dis
paired Of. While lying at the house of one of
our citizens, he made his will, which was wit
messed by James Armstrong and Smith Frye.
Mr.. Jennings recovered, however, and lived
till last November, when he died at his resi-
dence in East Cambridge. The viii still re-
manned with Mr.. Armstrong.
The widow, or rather the woman who was
living Win JGnuluSS at Tue tltne Ol HLS uc1lu,
came to Peoria in search of the will, and en-
deavored to get it in her possession. Instead of
giving it to her, MCssls. Armstrong and Frye
short time ago went to the county seat of
Henry county and had it opened and proved.
1t was found that the deceased had left his
property, amounting to some seventy reighty
thousand dollars, about equally divided between
his two wives and their issue. The homestead
in East Cambride, containing some six hundred
acres of land, had been secured to the second
wife. VIM. j. Phelps, Esq, of Elmwoed, was
named Executor of the will On Monday last,
a member of the fraternity of Shakers at I'm
ion village, O., where the first wife is still re-
naming, was in tbs city looking after her in
terests. The matter presents some rather sim
gular circumstances, but we do not learn that
there is any clashing between the two branch
es of Jennings family. Both sets of heirs will
probably acquiesce in his disposition of his eff
iects- Peoria Transcript.

THE KEY TO PRoFrTA8LH
FARWTRFE1 '"
= y III O u l TIA r e.

Hn
A first principle in profitable farming is 10
cultivate only so many acres as you can make
better Il may be yuor misfortune to own a
large farm, and to be without any other. cap
ital- 1t is your ruin, and the ruin of the land
to continue running over large surface, and
secure crops that barely pay the expenses of
labor. 1t were good policy, in such ~
case, to sell half of the land to get capital to
work the other half. If this cannot be done
seek to cultivate only 50 much as YOU can
make remuneratiYe. It is not improving land
to pillow it and take off crop. II should
have manure enough to raise seventy.fye
bushels Of corn, sixty of oats, thirty Of wheat
and three tuns of hay to the acre, when it Is
laid down to grass. Crops less than these
ought not to be considered good farming-that
is, where the natural soil is not decidedly bad.
Almost any of our exhausted soils that now
yield but twenty bushels of corn to the acre:
or tun of hay, require from fifty to seventy
five loads or halfcords of farm-yard manure
to give them start, and put them upon
course of improvement. If farmer has OIL
ly manure enough for one or two acres let
him attempt to cultivate no more. As TO the
rest of the farm, let it take care of itself ulril
you have the means of improving it.
Another principle in profitable farming IL Ia
keep only so much stock as you can keep in q
thriving condition. The profit of an aniruAa
reared for his flesh, ceases when he stops grow
ing. He should be well fed until he reaches
maturity, and then be slaughtered or sold
Ih porkers will pay as long as you can MAXI
the gain pound or two day. Lea
SOU ealing hogs are as Improbable as they asa
disg raceiul. Many farmers starve their sheep
80 tn at they are unable to bring forth healthy
ambs ; starve their cows, so that they come
)ut in the spring looking more like skeletons
han mixers. 1t takes whole season Of good
to retrieve the ill-treatment of tho
winter. Every animal kept upon the farm
hould have all the food he can digest, and as
rule, the more he digcsts, the more profita-
Die he will be, whether you take your pay in
abor or flesh. And in this item let it be re-
that good quarters for your animals
warm, dry stalls, stables, and sites, will. save
twenty-five per cent. and upward in fodder.

NEW METHOD or RAISING
FRUIT TREES. 7.--,

The Patent Office is in receipt Of infnrrtia- n
ton from England in regard to roising trIit IN
what are termed orchard houses, by planting
small trees in pots. The writer says that a
few old ashes, some pots and misunderstanding
are all that is necessary to constitute hohSc
for trying the experiment. Some experiments
were made last year under the management OF
Mr. Gordan, in the rose house in the gar
den of the Horticultural Society, London.
A variety Of young dwarf fruit trees were
placed in pots from twalve to fourteen inches
in diameter, and many as the house would
hold were collected in it. This house Is span
nel-roof between fifty and sixty feet long. has
half its sashes sliding down and the others tiN,
ed. There is additional ventilation through
the doors, which fall down in the wooden sides
but there is no artificial heat. The success at
tending this experiment was highly satisfac'o-
ry. The fruit was abundant, highly fiayortJ, "
and of superior quality, among which are
classed strawberries, currants apricots, peach
es nectarines, plums, pears, figs, grapes Nc.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

When the summer of youth is slowly vast
ing into the night-fall of age, and the shadows
of the past years grow deeper, as if life were
on its close, it is pleasant to look back through
the vista of time upon the sorrows and felici-
ties of years. If we have home to shelter
and hearts to rejoice with lis, and friends have
been gathered together by our fresides, then
the rough places of our wayfaring will have
been worn and smoothed away in the twilight
of life, while the sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more beauti-
ful. Happy indeed are those whose intercourse
with the world has not changed the tone of
their holier feelings, or broken those musical
cords of the heart whose vibrations are so me-
lodious, so touching in the evening of age.

PRorEcrIoN TO GRAPE WIVES.

Our notice of the fact that the cold had de-
stroyed the grape buds induced many to ex-
anime their vines to their sorrow. That the
injury is general throughout this region we
fnd confirmed on every side. The questions
may now be pressed: viii it pay to protect
our hardy vines and what protection DO they
need? A hasty glance at the vines of our
friend and correspondent, Colonel Dewey, en-
ables us to answer: If one year in ten only
is to be so severe on the vines, it is worth
while to give them the protection OF laying
them down, cOiled little together, and some
brush and rubbish thrown over them. Aside
from the protection to the vines, they viii not
'kill back" The practice will lead to fall q
pruning, and vines will get less bulky they g
will be more iudiciously pruned, and much
more conveniently, as one may have his chice be-
tween pruning on the trellst or the ground
The colonel very simply laid them together z
upon the ground, and very little light rflS- "A
bish thrown over them. They are leafng out >
beautifully. We noticed hardly blasted b,sd,
even to the tips of some which had made quite
long growth, which had been left to layer. A q
single vine or two of Que hardy native was
near and unprotected, had suffered thoroughly
the buds being all blasted The list of grapes
hardy without protection, is reduced to zero q
in our opinion. The number of varieties
which are thus hardy with the slightest pro-
lection, upon the ground, are quite numerous
judging from those of Colonel Dewey, which
embrace many of the most highly recommend
ed of the new grapes, besides the older ones

LONELINESS,

What constitutes true lovelines Not the
polished brow, the guady dress, nor the show
and parade of fashionable life. A woman may
have all the outward marks of beauty, and yet
not possess lovely temperament. 1t is the be-
nevolent disposition, the kind acts and the
christian department. 1t is the heart, where
neekness, truth, affection, and humility are
found where we look for loveliness, nor do we
look in vain. The woman that can soothe the
aching heart, smooth the wrinkled brow, al
leviate the anguish of the mind, and pour the
balm of consolation in the wounded breast
possesses, in an eminent degree true loveliness
of character. She is the real companion of
man, and does the work of an angel. 1t is such
a character that blesses with warmth and sun
shine, and maketh earth to resemble the Para
disc of God.

We would urge them to cease their aggrava-
ting taunts and comparisons in reference to
servile and free labor, to lay aside the misera-
bic sophistries of modern invention regarding
Slavery, and treat it, when they discuss it at
all, as is becoming men, and statesmen, and
patriots, and Christians, and conformaby to
the ideas of just men in all ages. Let them
do this, and they may rely on the sympathy
and support of the people of the Free States
in dealing with them while they hold, as we
think they hold, position and relation as
embarrassing as is occupied by any civilized
people on the face of the earth
