Bound TO HAVE THE RECORD RIGuT.-ln
the records of Muscatine county we find the
deed of piece of land located in the State of
Indiana. Itappears that an old codger who
emigrated from that State several years ago,
Just before leaving the land Of ''posies and
hoop-polcs," bought "quarter section" and
brought his papers to Iowa. Having settled
in this county, he gave his deed to the Re-
corder and insisted that it should be recorded.
No amount Of expostulatioa could "beat him
out Of his notion :" his only answer being
that he had sheen yewkered out Of one lot an
he'd be dod burned if he didn't have the
rekerds right this time"

HUMAN L1FE.-'iMen seldom think
Of the great event Of death until the
shadows fall across their own path, hid
ing forever from their eyes the traces
Of loved ones whose living smiles we're
the sunlight of their existence. Death
is the great antagonist Of life, and the
cold thought of the tomb is the skel-
elon Of feasts. We DO not want to 90
through the dark valley, although its
pass &c may lead to paradise; and with
Charles Lamb, We do not want to lie
down in the muddy grave, even with
kings and princes for our bed fellows.
But the fiat of nature is inexorable.
There il no appeal from the great law
which doom US to dust. We flourish
and We fade as the leaves Of the for
est and tn flowers that bloom and
wither in day have not frai er hope
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook che earth with his foot
steps. Generations Of men appear and
vanish IS the grass, and the countless
multitude which fills tie world to-day,
will tomorrow disappear as the foot
steps on the shore"

CoFFEE.-The high price Of coffee has
driven many families in this vicinity, who are
not overly we'll off in the worlds goods, to
look for substitute. With the cost of this
commodity ranging from thirty to thirty-fve
cents per pound, it certainly becomes a luxury
altogether too expensive to be enjoyed by the
poor man. We have heard two very good
articles suggested, which may be INDUCED in
with considerable reduction in the bills, viz :
water and rye. The latter can be bought for
twenty five cents per bushel, and when prop
erly 'fixed up" makes beverage that very
few can distinguish from the genuine Mocha
We advise our readers to try it, for from the
present aspect of affairs it looks as if we
might all be obliged to resort to the home
made before many months, and we may as
well "get the hang Of the thing' first As last.

the recipient of handsome New Years pres

testimonial of their high regard for the ster7

former captain. The sword and equipments
were obtained in Chicago, and are valued at
$50. We congratulate our friend, the Major,
upon his good fortune, and have no doubt

A GREAT TRUTH in A SMALL PARA
PH-.Ono secret Of the practical
failure IN after life Of so many pr omis
ing young persons is, wo apprehend,
that they did not learn that a mans
capacity and success in the world is
estimated not by wi at he can dc, but
by what he does do. The opposite
heresy is, we are sorry to believe, ear
ly imbibed in most Of our seminaries
OF learning. How the youth of genius,
real or supposed, is worshiped by his
associates and too often by society
also; while the more diligcnt plodder is
left in neglect to ''work out lis own
salvation" as he almost infallibly does!

ing these facts, D. B. DeLand & Co. have
been to great trouble and expense in bringing
this article before the public. This Saleratus
is manufactured by new process, known
only ~ this concern in this country and dis.
