What SDrummcI.S. DO
and Como To.

From New York Letter
Drummers are expected to treat
freely, and for this purpose the firm
allows an extra supply of money.
In this life of excitement and dissi.
patton there must be rapid waste of
vitality, and many wear out early
and die. Others return to the coun-
try broken down, and few can sur
vive five years of such life. Coming
out of hotel the other day, saw a
pale and wasted form on the porch.
A friend at my side called my ntten-
ton to the man, and remark ed ,
"There is the result of three years
among the drummers. Three years
ago." said he, "that young man came
from the country blooming with
health; now he is wreck" Our
drummers are not only physical but
moral wrecks. The dissipation of
the city into which they so generally
plunge, proves destructive beyond
hope. Many of these drummers are
on intimate terms at the houses of
prostitution, where they often take
their country friends. Indeed con-
siderable part of the business of these
houses is derived thus. Some drum.
mers sell goods to their customers,
while others simply introduce them
to the statesmen of whom they make
their purchases. When the business
season is over the drummers general.
ly make trip to the country to make
collections and look up customers
Hence there is no such thing as quiet
or domestic life for this class. They
are driven through mazy circle o
dissipation and business, and traveI
and tipple until they are used up.

Half Way Religion

Half way religion Is desperately
Improbable. It trammels q man
sadly and yet he is denied all the
comforts and promises of whole
hearted honest faith, s..
People call IL the "old Adam rule
perhaps but In our opinion Adam
is not so much to blame as Them
selves.
We want truth and uprightness at
what cost. Nobody is to suppose
at the beginning that the Christian
life is easy, thatsthere are no rocks
and dangers i'm the way, nay, living
foes and the arch enemy. of all,
Fight" .''striven "labor" rum toll
these are the Scripture words. And
precisely the sin which we are to fight
the hardest Is "the sin that doth SO
easily beset us. s."--7he Advance.

The Iowa Female Law
Yer.

The New York Independent has to
say of Mrs. Belle Mansfield, attorney-
at law at Mt. Pleasant:
The astronomical party that went
to Mt. Pleasant Iowa, to view the re-
cent eclipse, speak in high terms OF
the assistance they received on the
occasion from Mrs. Belle Mansfield,
who, as our readers will remember,
is the lady that has just been admit
ted to the bar In that State. She Is
said to be young woman of bright,
quick, confident intellect, of q very
pleasing presence, refined in man.
ners, educated not In the schoolgirl
system, but oil the strong meat of a
regular classical and scientific course,
and to possess every qualification for
success in her chosen profession.
Her husband, who is also young, and
a professor OF natural philosophy in
the college at Mt. Pleasant, was ad-
mitted to the bar at the same time
with his wife, and has entered into a
legal partnership with her, as he had
previously done into matrimonial
one. We have not heard the name
and style o. the firm but we pre-
sumo that, If of any friends desire to
put business into their hands q letter
prepaid and addressed to Mr.. Mans.
field and Wife, or Mrs. Mansfield
and Husband, Attorneys at Law,
would reach the proper destination.
For our part, we are unspeakably de-
lighted to know of Mrs. Mansfeld's
brave aud successful course. AS a
general rule, We are opposed to liti-
CATION. We consider 1T one of the
most Improbable methods of dis
turbing ones digestion and OF spend
ing ones substance riotously that we
know of. Yet for once, we really
wish we could have some litigation
in Iowa; for we greatly desire to
have Mrs. Mansfield manage our
cause. Will not somebody out that
way kindly do something unlawful
to us-pick our pockets, borrow our
money and refuse to pay it, assault
us with intent to kill, or accuse us of
want of orthodoxy, or do some other
criminal act-by which we can have
the opportunity OF hearing Mrs.
Mansfield make plea to the jury?

Sound.

The Rural World, a paper ever
alive to the interests of the west, I'm
a late number, publishes the follow
ing sensible remarks: -
Why should the West and the
South send their wool, cotton, hemp,
flax and hides to New England to be
manufactured; send along the bread
and meat 10 sustain the operatives !;
pay all expenses of handling, trans.
portation, insurance, commissions !;
pay foi manufacturing, a profit to the
capitalist, and all return expenses In
buying back the goods made? stin
more, why should they send their
cotton TO old England and France
with all the incidental expenses as
above only more so, and purchase
back the manufactured good? Or, In
the words of Judge Bellamy Storer
but the manufacturers of the
West present n thought which is full
OF abiding interest to you all. Why
should We be tributary to England oi
any other portion of the world
Why should we regard ourselves Of
bound to import from any portion ol
this, our hemisphere, let it be the
Eastern or Western, any article
necessary for use, or that is just and
proper to he used? 1t Is said, how.
ever, that we cannot manufacture as
cheap here. My pride is humblet
when / know that pound of cotton

back to us i'm perhaps one or tive
yards of gossames texture. Who
pays the duty? We pay the broker
who buys the cotton. We pay tn,
insurance upon 1t. We pay the com
mission In Manchester or Birming
ham. We pay the freights over here
Then we pay to him who imports
another duty upon it; and, by til,
time 1t arrives here, IL Is very mucf
like the shawls which cost SIS tha

Out Of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speakcth-and sometimes
the heart gets the better of the
mouth. A correspondent Of an ex-
change gives the following specimens
of the reversal of the approved max
im-"Think twice before you speak. I"
A gentleman said to a rather stout
lady: "Allow me to introduce my
wife; she is not quite as large as you
are, but l guess she Is quite as good!'
The droll speech brings to mind a
compliment paid to an accomplished
lady who had taken board In Ver-
mont last summer for the improve
ment Of her health. A woman said
to her one day, when she saw her
partially unrobed: .'Why, land

replied the lady. "I had a darter

What sleep Will Curc.

The cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not
that 1t Is more important, but II Is
often harder to get. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. OF two
men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure iritahil-
lily of temper, peevishness, uneas!-
ness. 1t will cure insanity. 1t will
restore to vigor an overworked brain.
1t will build up and make strong a
weary body. 1t will do much to cure
dyspepsia, particularly that variety
known as nervous dyspepsia. 1t
will relieve the languor and prostra-
ton felt by consumptives. 1t will
cure hypochondria. 1t will cure the
blues. 1t will cure the headache. It
will cure the heartache. 1t will cure
neuralgia. 1t will cure a broken
spirit. IL will cure sorrow, Indeed,
we might make a long list OF nervous
maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure Of sleeplessness, however,
is not SO easy, particularly in those
who carry grave responsibilities.
The habit of sleeping well is one
which, If broken up for any length
of time, is not easily regained. Otter
a severe illness, treated by powerful
drugs, so deranges the nervous sys-
tenn, that sleep is never sweet after.
Or, perhaps, long continued watch
fulness produces the same effect; or
hard study, or too little exercise of
the muscular system, or tea and
whisky drinking, and tobacco using.
To break up the habit are required:
!. A clean good bed.
3 Sufficient exercise to produce
weariness, and pleasant occupation.
8. Good air and not too warm
room.
4. Freedom from too much care.
8. A clean stomach.
9. A clear conscience.
z. Avoidance of stimulaats and
For those who are overworked,
haggard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep,
life will be short, and what
there is of it sadly imperfect. Herald

With certain Limitations, 1t Is true
that a man who cannot save mar
gin from small income will never
have anything from large one.
Wants are always more plentiful
than dollars. The habit OF self
denial is rather more easily cultiva-
ted when the means are limited, than
when more ample resources have cre-
ated new tastes and desires. There
fore If you would be rich, you must
begin to acquire. A single dollar
saved Is often larger proportion Of
surplus income after the supply of
actual necessities, than the thousands
your rich neighbors place in the
bank. Early savings have the long,
est time to grow. A dollar saved at
twenty will count as much as sixteen
saved at sixty. Many young men
spend in cigars alone, between the
age of sixteen and twenty-five, sums
of money which properly invested,
would accumulate to an amount by
the time they reached fifty years
ample to meet the necessities of age,
and rendar them independent for fine
remainder of their lives.-Er.

TRADE IN EGGs,-Few people
have any idea of the Importance of
the egg trade. 1t is said that France
alone produces 1000 to 5000 mill
ions of eggs annually-a quantity
which, if blown and strung, would
form a double necklace round old
mother earth. The value of eggs
exported from France is some
where about $6,O00,000. The val
ue Of the eggs imported into Great
Britain in 1866 was estimated at
nearly S6,OO0,000 in gold. 1t is
estimated that in Great Britain, a.
bout 1000 millions Of eggs are pro-
duced and consumed annually.
The egg trade of Paris presents sew
eral points Of interest. The eggs
are usually sold in baskets which
ought to contain 1,O40 good eggs.
Eggs, to be good, must not only be
whole and fresh, but they must be
of a certain size; and official agents
are appointed who inspect not on
ly the number and quality, but the
size Of the egg-all eggs which pass
through ring ofa certain size, be-
ing condemned.
