Ihe New York Journal Of Conn.,

publishes the following, which will
give our readers some idea of the in
exhaustible fertility of the Western
country:
Within six weeks-that is to saw
by the 1st of October-will be har,
vested one of the largest corn crons
ever prodsced in the United States.
Nothing can look more fuxuriant than
the fields of growing corn that cover
thousands of acres in the vaIlies of
the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, where
one-half of the entire crop in the
United States is produced. A writer
IN one OF the Western papers calcu-
lates that, as bushel of corn CON
tains sixty solid pounds of grain, the
crop OF the current year, even if it
should not exceed 80, 600 bushels. will
amount to 4,8OO, 600, 900 pounds Of
grain, besides an equal weight in fod-
der: The value to the country Of
such an aggregate of agricultural
wealth, sprlnging from single crop,
is not easily conceived. Though
wheat realizes Il higher price per
bushe1 in the market, its positive
value as ife-sustaining product is
much inferior to that of maize. since
the former averages but little more
than one-third rs much to the acre i'm
the quantity grown. The statistics of
the production of corn in the United
States for the last twenty 6va raor.
are rs follows, viz:
IN 1910 total crop. .......... ST., ,531, ,s75
In 1850, total crop. ...... 592 GIL, ,l04
In 1860, total crop. ..... 3O,45l. TOT
In 1866, total crop, (cstim 'et) /, ,e39 900, 900
The writer, whose calculations we
have noticed, remarks upon this
showing us follows: "'The increase

annum, the aggregate crop of 1866
Will be over o4e MouSnnd millions of

gloomy accounts of the growing
crops. No rain had fallen for nearly
seven weeks. Vegetation was parch

Td1cness.

1uAcness.
There is too much idleness in this
country. It is breeding vice and I'M
morality. It is filing our jails with
criminals. Crime has been on the
gradual increase for six months.
This comes of idleness; and idleness
comes in q great measure Of that
abominable idea that white man
cannot be a gentleman and work.
He must get money, for that is indis-
pensable. But howe That's it. Young
men have not the disposition to work,
and by patient economy secure
basis for business operations. They
must have it now. This suggests ex-
pedients. These lead to temptation !;
and temptation leads to crime. Hence,
we have murders, horse thefts and
breaches of trust.
Why should young mau consider
it degrading or even undigniGed to
work? President johnson purchased
his present residence in East Ten
nessee with the proceeds of his labor
as tailor. One Of the wealthiest
bankers in New York comm enced the
world as a gardener, selling to the
huckster the products of his own
labor. Gen. Pat. Cleburn, at one
time the head of the Arkansas bar,
subsequently the ruling spirit in q
powerful army, began life US day
laborer. Judge Reagan, Postmaster
General of the late Confederate
States, was once a wood-chopper on
the banks of the Mississippi. The
world is full of such examples. But
where can we point to a successful
man who spent his early youth in
hunting business which he considered
to be more genteel than manual labor?
Who has ever heard of q man sue
ceeding who spent his early manhood
waiting for something to turn up?"
Young man, if you would succeed,
go to arorh. If you cannot obtain n
clerkship, take something else You
had better be rolling barrels, or plow-
ing, or building fence, or chopping
cord-wood, or carrying the hod, than
doing nothing. Quit depending upon
your friends. Strike out for Yourself.
Learn at once the greatest of all les
sons, that of sey-a'elimace. Have a
head, a will, purpose of your own.
Go to work and watch your opportu-
nifty. The soil upon which you have
been reared never refuses a compe-
tence to those who are willing to dig.
Then, if you can do no better, dig It
will pay to dig. Nor is there any
thing undignified or vulgar in it. 1t
is honorable, if you choose to make
it so. Then dig and watch your op-
portunity. But don't stand idle and
"wait for something to turn up"
