WHY 7
BY NARY wALsrEoHAl

Men say they rest when labors cense;
They watch the sunset down the SKY,
And eli with folded hands for peace, ~,
As If the night brought calmness. why
Toll never ceased since life begun;
They only rest whose day is done
The stone which marks our mortal rest,
And points the traveller where we lie,
Weighs heavy on our sleeping breast,
And irks, they say, the slumberer. why
No living couch but hath its moan
But all sleep well beneath this stone.
They walk in silence round our feet,
And round our head with muftied sigh
And in our grassy winding eheet -
They drown the whispered scandal. why
Srorp, shame and wrong are mortal banes-
Nor ear, nor heart, hath Wondering names.
They plant the laurel where we rot.
And trail the glossy amaranth nigh,
And wreath the blue forget-me-not
With inmortelles and ivy. Why?
Pale love laughs not. nor feverish woe?
But who laughs less than amaranths blow
Men idly musing starwari. fain
Would linn the thoughts in yonder sky;
They crave to link affections chain.
And bind carth's broken fetters. Why
He Graves not chains whose freedoms won.
They only rest whose loving's done.

even by the month Lands were cheap and abun-
dant; labor was high and scarce, and all preferred
to till their own small farms rather than work for
hire upon another mans. 1t made the farmers
life hard until his son grew up to useful age and
this gave rise to q common saying in the West,
when son was born in a farmers house, that this
good as a thousand dollars to him.
The plan which, under these circumstances, the
West took to encourage mmigration this
they did not offer to hire g white labor by the
year; but they made it known, far and wide, that
with them land was cheap and fertile; that forty
acre farm could be bought for very small sum;
that man who, in Europe, would be all his life
dependent and living from hand to mouth, with
no better future for his children, might, in the
West, in q few years, pay for his farm be an in
dependent for the rest of his days and edu-
cate his children in a free school They held out
the inducement of cheap lands, purchasable in
small lots at easy rates, and opportunities for ed
ucation. This plan immensely successful,
because it held out just the inducements which
tempt the class which emigrates from Europe
The stupid, thriftless and ignorant class of Euro
peans do not emigrate from Europe It is the
thrifty, the energetic, the aspiring who wish to
better their condition who desire happier fu-
ture than their own for their children; who leave
their English and German homes in the Old World
to find new homes in America. It is these men
the picked men of Europe-who have gone by
tens of thousands to the West and whose pres
ence has, in few years, quadrupled the selling
price of lands in some States. But these men will
not hire themselves to work out by the year. We
have only to hold OUT the inducements to immi-
grafton that the West has held out, and we shall
have the same success.

A MOTHERS INTERPRETATION touching is this
tribute of Hon. T. H. Benton to his mothers in
fiuence:
''My mother asked me never to use tobacco; I
have never touched it from that time to the pres
ent day. She asked me not to game. and 7 have
never gambled, and I cannot tell who is losing in
games that are being played. She admonished
me, too, against hard drinking and whatever ca
pacity for endurance have at present, and what
ever usefulness may have attained in life, Ihave
attributed to having complied with her pious and
correct wishes. When I was seven years of age
she asked me not to drink, and then made a res
olution of total abstinence, and that have ad-
hered to it through all time owe to my mother"
