BE SAv1NG.-The caution which our
contemporaries are giving to the farmers
to save everything they raise as far as
practicable, is we'll timed A very large
amount Of the farming force of the State,
has been drawn from its ordinary chan
mel Of operation by the war. During the
coming year this depletion will be felt in
a corresponding decrease of farming pro-
ductions. Even in Iowa, where we have
an exhaustless wealth ofsoil, there will be
loud demand for the necessaries Of life.
unless the strictest economy is used IN
saving what is raised. The prices Of
farm products which have been ruinou4.
ly low, are going up. The farmer next
year, if he is prudent with his crops,
will realize a handsome compensation for
his toll. 1t cannot otherwise be. Iowa
is expected to feed not only her own pop
ulation, but she is expected also TO assist
largely in supplying the imperious de-
mand from abroad. There will be no
want Of remunerative market in 1868.

CELEBRATED AUrnoRs Steele wrote
excellently on temperance when sober.
Salust, who declaimed so eloquently
againt the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of The age, was
himself habitual debauchee. Johnson's
essay on polteness is admirable, but he
was himself perfect bore. The gloomy
verses of Young give one the blues, but
he was brisk lively man. The com
forts Of Human Life" by B. Heron, was
written in prison, under the most dis
tressing circums stances. "The Miseres
of Human Life," by Beresford, were, on
the contrary, compose in drawing

with every luxury. All tho friends of
Sterne knew him TO be selfish man i;
yet, as writer, he excelled in pathos
and charity, at one time beating his wife,
at another wasting his sympathies over
dead monkey. s. Seneca wrote in
praise Of poverty on table formed of
solid gold. with millions let out at usury
