KANSAS.

The editor of the Chicago Standard,
n religious Journal Of high character,
has been travelling In Kansas recently,
aud records the views Of our State in
his paper. We have only room for this
extract:
From this extensive tripi Kansas we
are persuaded that it il u good country,
Those who seek a home within It's bOr-
dcrs cannot well fail to Improve their
worldly condition. We saw at June
ton City field of wheat of thirty acres,
as good As we ever saw in any State.
The field has been cultivated nine years.
The last two years it has been planted III
corn. On June Tth the wheat stood
thick on the ground, plump, four feet
high. and was fully headed out. The
agricultural reports show that Kansas
Yields more wheat to the acre than New
York, the great wheat growing State,
and more corn to the acre than Illinois,
the great corH-grOwing State. But the
great staple of Kansas is cattle. 1tis Que
of the great gI1lZing States of the Union.
We heard Of several instances of thrift
among the Kansas farmers which are
worthy of note. We have already inen-
toned the case of the college farm al
Ottawa. The improvements were COM
menced on the farm four years ago, and
nursery stock has been sold since last
September, from forty acres, to the
amount of $1,000. A gentleman who
has a farm ten miles from Lawrence OF
four hundred acres, has realized from
cattle and grain the last two years $1O,-
600. We saw a farmer at Paola, from
Virginia, who settled in that neighbor.
hood thirteen years ago. His stock in
trade ut that time consisted of one wife.
eleven children, four yoke of oxen and
"a wagon. He now has two hundred
acres of land, well stocked and imprOv-
ed. and is free of debt.
We would not convey the impression
that all who go to Kansas get rich; far
otherwise. God has a better portion
than wealth for most people. Some
will become discontinued and fail ev-
erywhere: but skillful management,
pcrscvering labor and ecOnmy, are sure
to win u competency III Kansas. Like
all new countries, Kansas needs a pop
uiation who are willing TO work for a
living, and who will cheerfully put up
with the Inconvenience incident TO q
new country. Farmers and mechanics
are Notwithstanding nEen and women,
not spectators. There are too many
now in Kansas who want To live by
their wits. What is wanted is sober,
honest, industrious men who can work
and are not impatient to get rich III u
single year.

Usage ORANGE IIEDGEs.-WhoeYer
has Usage orange hedges should be very
careful not to let them get over four or
live feet high. The root then will hot
go much farther way than that. y few
fugitivcs may occasionally be found
further; but this is about the thing.
June, by the way, is the best time to
trim these hedges, while the young
growth is as soft as grass. They can
then be readily cut with IA short scythe,
and "a half mile be trimmed in a day.
The best shape to trim is the conical.
starting about two and half TO three
feet at the base, and curving up grad
ualfy to point ut the top. This is the
way 10 make them thick at the bottom.
If they are cut in too narrow they will
soon get thin, and never be hog proof.
In September they may have another
light trimming.
Well uanaged-and it is very simple
TO well manage them-there is nothing
so cheap and every way valuable as a
good Usage orange hedge; as, left to
grow to .-firewood,- there is no greater
niiisance.- Veekig PTess.

PRINTERS.

Junius Henri Brown, in the March
number of FacEards 4Bonthty, has q
long article on '.Printers," from which
we extract the following truthful para
graphs:
Printing-ink begets cynicism, as
dainpness rheumatism. or foul air few
ers. There is 40 escaping it. Men in
printing offices, whether they prepare
or set copy, contract the disease, and suf-
fer from il more or less, as their mental
system responds to or resists it. They
are behind the scenes. They know that
the golden crowns aud goblets the pub
lie adInires are only pasteboard; that
the SlitteriBg jewels are only coiored
glass. that the crimson glory of the
tabieaux is but fash OF red fire that

ties of emptiness. Why expect them to
admire! Why ask them to be am

The printer understands How feputa-
lions are made. lie knows that they
are not blown forth from the trump 81

seeks ieputation by performing solo, and
gets It's thereby. He is aware that while

inspiration pines, management Pushes

THE LAZY MAN.

a LAZY man, SAYS the Fat COntribu-
tor" is almost always gOod-natured.
He never flies into Il passion. lie might
crawl iuto one If that were possible,
but the idea of his flying into anything
is preposterous.
Who ever heard of lazy man break
ing iuto II bank, where Il crOwb bar had to
be used, or drilling into q safef No
body. Not that lac might not cOvet his
ucighbor's goods contained therein but
the horror of handling erowbar and
drills would always deter him from ac-
tualIy committing burglary. He never
runs away with his neighbours wife,
simply Oh account Of the horror he has
of running. If he is ever known to
run, it is tO-run to seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbOrs,
for it would be too much exertiOn but
he can lie at bar-roOu all day.
He is of inestimable service to a bill
lard saloon, keeping the chairs warm
aud watching the game. for few would
care to play where there are no specta-
tors. The fact that he does this with
out pay, Slay in and day out, shows the
unseIfishness of his nature. What an
industrious man, who considers his
time worth something, would want pay
for, the lazy man generally does for
nothing, showing freedom from mer-
cenary motives that should go far 10 his
credit.
The lazy man never gets up revoln-
tions, instructions. or other popular
excitemeHts, and don't make u nuisance
of himself by tramping around the
making incendiary speeches to
promote public discomfort.
In his own neiglIborhOod he is never
a busy body in other peoples affairs. for
the very idea of being q busybody at
anything would drive him out of his
head you would have tn drive him out,
for he wouldn't nave energy enough to
20 out of his own accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad. Ii he
went crazy, it was because he couldn't
go anywhere else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of
peaceful neighbOrs by putting up fac
tories, furnaces, and other aboiniIa-
