KIN WE ALI. JINE MA good
joke was told us the other day OF
preacher up in Nebraska, who had dined
with a friend just before afternoon SER
vice. As it happened, this friend occa-
sionally luxuriatcd in a smile of the ar
dent, and sometimes carried morocco
covered flask in his ovcrcoat pocket.
By mistake the minister took the
friends ovcrcoat for his own on his de-
parture, and walking into the pulpit be-
gan the exercises without doffing the
garment. it being rather chilly in the
room. Looking very Enthusiastically over
his congregation from behind his spec
tacles, he began drawing from his pock-
ket, as he supposed his hymn-book,
with the Introductory remark that the
congregation sung" from particular
page which he had selected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed book
up in full sight of the congregation, and
attempted to open it sidewise, but it
was no go. The situation was realized
in a moment, but alas! too late! His
reverence was dumb founded, the audi
cncc giggled, and the whole scene was
made more ludicrous by a fellow in tho
back part of the congregation, not alto
gether too sober, who drawled out:
"Say, mister, kin ace all (hic) .jiae an
| that ar hyTR?"

KANSAS AND HER RAILROADS.

Perhaps there arc no States in the
Union to which railroads are more vi
tally necessary than to Kansas. An ae-
ricultural state, and of large territorial
domain; we have no natural outlet for
any portion of it except the Missouri
River for little way on our eastern
border. We have no arm of the sea.
there Is no navigable stream penetrating
the Statc-we must have railroads or
rely alone upon wagon transportation.
But agriculture products will not bear
Il long wagon carriage. BY the time a
bushel or corn has been hauled to Ieay-
enworth OF Kansas City from the Neo-
sho valley, the transportation has taken
MP it's entire value. But without a ma
ket for its surplus products no State can
increase much in wealth or the develop
ment of its resources. Corn was burn
ed for fuel i'll Illinois until her railroads
were built. 1t was the Erie Canal that
made the splendid agriculture of New
i DIRK, and the Erie railroad which de-
velopcd the farming interests of the
southern counties of that State It is
her network of railroads which has
done more than all else to develop the
resources of Pennsylvania. The coal
and iron of her mountains were worth
nothing until the railroads penetrated
them. But we need not multiply ex-
Kansas needs to-day thousand miles
of additional railroads Thero should
be one running up and down the mag
nificent valley of the Neosho, and con-
Meeting with the Union Pacific near
Riley. There should also be connecting
roads striking across from the NeoshO
valley towards the terminus of the I'm
ION racine, besides the north and south
roads contemplated through the border
tier of the counties and from lawrence
directly south. The contemplated road
from Atchison TO Lawrence, and nom
here TO Kansas city via Olathe is a nee
essary road and will yet be built. a
valley of the Wakarusa and penetrat-
ing across toward Emporia would strik-
very rich section of country, and
would open up the coal mines of Usage
county.
The road running west from Atcllison
should be extended toward the south
west SO as to strike the Union Pacific
f. D., in the neighborhood of Salina
There are other projected roads which
we do not stop to enumeratc, but which
viii eventually be built. We have only
to glance at the map of Ohio to see how
completely an agricultural State may
be chequered by railroads. And there
is nothing visionary in supposing thai
such q building of roads in Kansas il
probable. We have a State almost ev-
cry quarter section of which is capable
of being made a farm. Such a State
will furnish material for transportation
for great many miles of railroad

THE STRUGGLE FOR HEALTH.

In our civilized scdentary life, he
who would have good health must fight
for it. Many people have the inso!ence
to become parents who have no right
to aspire to to that dignity children
arc born who have no right to exist, and
skill preserves many whom Nature is
eager to destroy. Civilized man, too,
has learned the trick of heading of some
of the diseases that used to sweep over
whole regions of the earth, and lay low
the weakest tenth of the population.
Consequently, while the average dura-
ton of human life has been increased
the average tone of human health has
beeu lowered. Fewer die, and fewer
are quite well. Very many of us breathe
ventilated air, and keep nine-tenths of
the body Quiescent for twenty or
twenty-thrcc hours out of every TWEEN
ty-four. Immense numbers cherish
gloomy. depressing opinions, and con-
vert the day set apart for rest and recre-
a ion into one which aggravates some of
the worst tendencies of the week, and
counteracts none of them. Half the
population of the United States violate
thc'law of nature every time they take
sustenancc and the children go, cram
med with indigestion, TO sit six hours
iii hot, Differentiated or unventilated
school rooms. Except in few large
towns, the bread and meat are almost
universally inferior or bad; and the
only viands that are good are those
which ought rot to be eaten at all. At
most family tables, after, a course of
meat which has the curious property OF
being both soft and tough wild pro-
fusion of ingenious puddings. pies, cakes,
and other abominable trash, beguiles
the young, disgusts the mature, and in
jures all. From bodies thus imperfect
" nourished, we demand excessive ex-
ertions of all kinds.-AHanttc Monthly.
