Men Wanteal

The great want Of this age is
men. Men who are not for sale.
Men who are honest, sound from
center to circumference, true to the
hearts core. Men who will con-
denim wrong in friend or foe. Men
whose consciencies are steady as
the needle to the pole. Men who
will stand to the right if the heavens
totter and the earth reels. Men
who can tell the truth. Men who
neither brag nor run. Men who
can have courage without whistling
for it. Men careless of mans ap-
plause. Men too large for secre-
tartan limit, and too strong for
sectarian bands. Men who do not
strive nor cry, nor cause their voices
to be heard in the streets, and who
will not fail nor be discouraged.
Men who know their message and
tell it. Men who know their duty
and do it. Men who know their
place and fill it.
The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1867-05-31

WORKING AND Thinning 1t is
no less fatal error to despise labor
when regulated by intellect, than to
value it for it's own sake. We are
always in these days trying to sep
arate the two. We want one man
to be always thinking, and another
to be always working; and we call
one gentleman and the other an
operative: whereas the workman
ought often to be thinking, and the
thinker often to be working; both
should be gentlemen in the best
sense. As it is, we make both un-
gentle, the one envying, the other
despising his brother; and the mass
of society is made up Of morbid
thinkers and miserable workers.
Now, it is only by labor that thought
can be made healthy, and only by
thought that labor can be made
happy; and the professions should be
made liberal, and there should be
less pride felt in popularity Of EN-.
ploymcnt, and more in excellence OF
acbievment.-Ruskin.

The wheat Crop.

A false impression seems to be
prevalent in regard to the wheat
crop of Minnesota. The St. Paul
Press of Wednesday says there could
be no greater mistake than to Sup
pose that there has been any gcncr-
al scarcity Of seed there tlifs year,
or that less breadth of wheat has
been sown than usual. The area of
land put in wheat this year is al
lodged to be much greater than ever
before, and even in those frontier
settlements where the scarcity of
seed prevails, four times as much
land has been sown to wheat as last
year. More than that, the spring
weather has been exceedingly aus
picious, and if the vernal promises
holds out till harvest, the wheat
crop will be immensely larger than
ever The same paper estimates
that at least fifteen million bushels
of wheat will be produced in Mime
sofa this year if no casualty inter-
venes to darken the brilliant pros
pcct.
Tho same statement Of facts is
generally true as to Wisconsin. Ac-
cording to the present prospects the
product will not only be large, but
considerably larger than the average
yield Of any previous scason.-Ncws.

How to Find and Test Peat.

The formation Of peat generally
takes place in a depressed suface,
nearly or quite surrounded with a
rim Of rock or dry soil. 1t seems
to require the effect of standing
water. Sometimes bed of peat is
so wet and soft that it has to be
dipped out, and throw upon the
ground to dry, before it can be
handled. Most generally it is over
grown with coarse grass or scdge,
sometimes with alders, or even large
trees. If the ground shakes as you
walk over it, there is probably peat
below and one way to determine
the presence of peat is by thrusting
pole into the bog. If the pole
penetrates easily, there is promise
Of peat. Observe what sticks to
the pole; and, if it is soft and
smooth, and feels greasy, it is peat.
Run a gun-barrel or other long tube
into it, and push out what it brings
up, leaving the layers unbrokcn as
much as possible. When it is partly
dry, see if it cuts like cheese and,
when fully dry, if it cuts like choco-
late. Mash it with the blade of q
knife, and see if it is free from grit.
Try if it will burn freely, and OBJ
serve how much ash it leaves. Pare
off the grass and fibrous material
from the top, foot deep or more,
and then cut out some blocks with
the spade, tho size of bricks, and
dry and try them, and if they will
burn in the CRATE or in heap out
Of doors, they are peat =; if they
burn with but little smoke, and
down to light ashes, they arc good.
If you have only muck so poor in
carbon as to burn impcrfectly, it is
worthless as peat for fuel. Unless
the signs are very clear, and the cx-
periments quite satisfactory, it will
be prudent to have the place ex-
amined by somebody who UNDER
stands peat, or, at least. to send
some specimens to an expert to be
tested, before going to the expense
Of setting up machinery to work it.
A good test is to cut up few cords
in blocks, dry them, and use them
for fuel in your house; you will then
see how clearly they burn, and how

From the Dayton (Ohio) Empire.
Sensible before he Died.

Dean Richmond, the great leader
of the "War Democracy so-callcd,
told friend short time before he
died, that the Democratic party had
made great mistake by ever hav-
ing anything to do with the war.-
Said he: eff we had this thing to
90 over again we would let the Re-
publicans skin their own skunks. "
Not very elegant in language, but
no higher tribute than such q CEN
fcssion could be bestowed on the
