A correspondent Of the Davenport Gas
sette has been on visit to Lake Msnnistons
ka, Mimi Here is what he says OF Crane
Island, situated in this Lake:
This island consists Of about ten or twelve
acres Of heavily timbered ground. and is the
great Matching place of the Crane family.
Here are thousands upon thousands of the
nests Of these worthless birds, high up among
the branches of the tall trees. In one tree
we counted nine nests, each as big as bushel
basket, and in circle Of fifty yards in diam.
eter we counted thirty five nests.e They are
just rs thick as this all through the island, |
suppose The clatter and confusion they
keep up is as much of a curiosity as the island
itself Approaching the spot we heard them
mile Off, screaming, quackiug and barking
in hideous concert. In fact, it sounded more
like - general dog fight in the distance than
anything we could think of. tits, indeed, a
lively place.

"I WIsHIHAD A CAPITAL.o

So we heard great strappingy young man exclalm
tn. other day. I did want to tell him piece OF
nv mind SO bad. But I'll just write to him. You
want capital do you? And suppose you had what
you call capital? Havn't you got hands and feet,
and body and muscle, and bone and brains; and
don't you call them capital? What more capital
did God give anybody? Oh but they are not mon.
ey, say you. But they are more than money, and
nobody can take them from you. Don't you know
how to use them? If you don t, it is time you was
learning. Take hold Of the first plow, or hoe or
iackplane, or broad-ax that you fnd and 60 to
work. Your capital will soon yield you large in
terest. Aye, but there the rub, you don't wan t
to work, you want money or credit that you may
play the gentleman and speculate and end by play
ing the vagabond; or you want plantation and
negroes, that you may hire an overseer to attend
to them, while you run about over the country and
dissipate and get in debt; or want to marry some
rich girl who may be foolish enough to take you for
your fine clothes and good looks, that she may sup
port you.
Shame on you, young man! Go to work with
the capital you have, and you will soon make In
terest enough upon it, and with it, to give you as
much money as you want, and make you feel IKE
man. IF you can't make money upon what capl-
tai you have you could not make 1t II you had
million of dollars in money. If you don't know
how to use bone and muscle, and brain, you would
not know how to use gold. fyou let your capital
YOU have lie idle and waste and rust out, 1t would
be the same thing if you had gold you would only
know how to waste.
Then, don't stand about like great helpless
child, waiting for somebody to come in and feed
you, but 90 to work. Take the trst work you can
