A CHEERFUL FAcE.-There is no greater
everyday virtue than cheerfulness. This
quality in man among men, is like sum
shine to the days, or gentle, renewing
moisture to parched herbs. The light Of
a cheerful face diffuses itself, and commun-
icates the happy face that inspires it. The
sourest temper must sweeten in the atmo-
sphere Of continuous good humor. A well
might fog, and cloud, and vapor, hope to
cling to the sun-illumined landscape, as
the blues and moroscHess to combat jovial
speech and exhilerating laughter. Be cheer
full, always. There is no path that will be
easier travelled, no load will be lighter, no
shadow on heart or brain but will lift
sooner in the presence of determined
cheerlulntss.

Brigham Young On Dressing.

Brigham YOWn8 On DfeSs1o8.
In recent sermon, the Mormon proph-
ct delivered the following homily on the
fashions: at is the duty of the husband
or father to furnish his family with clothes
to dress themselves; it is their duty to see
that cloth is cut and made prudently and
not wasted. 1t is disgrace to commu-
nifty to drag their clothes in the dirt.
How many women are there here to day
who walk to this Tabernacle without
throwing dirt every step they take, not
only on themselves, but on those who
walk near them? l shun them; when
see them coming try to make my way in
some other direction, in order to avoid
their dust. l can get enough Of it with
nuisance in the path, they are sure to
wipe up portion Of it with their dress,
and then trail it on their carpet or into
the bedroom and distribute it through the
house. This disgrace to them. 1t is
not the duty of my brethren to buy cloth
to be dragged through the streets, and the
wife or daughter who will not cease drag.
ging it through them, ought to have
it cut shorter. I have borne it, and
so have my brethren, until duty de-
mands that We put q stop to it. have
politely expostulated with my wives and
my daughters on the subject. l have asked
them If they think it looks nice, and have
been told that it did, their reason for
thinking so being that somebody else wore
it so. That is all the argument than can
be brought out in its favor. There is no
reason in the world why dress looks we'll
trailing through the streets. On the other
hand, l will say, ladies, if we ask you to
make your dresses little shorter, do not
be extravaganza and cut them SO short that
we can see the tops Of your stockings.
Bring them down to the tops Of your shoes,
and have them so that you can walk and
clear the dust, and do not expose your
persons. Have your dresses neat and
comely, and conduct yourself, in the
strictest sense of the word, in chastity. If
you do this, you set good example before
the rising generation. Use good lang
uage, wear comelv clothing, and act in all
things so that you can respect yourself
and respect each other. We wish you to
remember and carry out these counsels. -

OUTRAGE IN PRAIRIE DU CHlEN.-On
Tuesday yesterday morning at A. NJ.
a stout, large woman, called at the Drug
Store of N. A. & E. Wright of that place
and requested the makeup OF q prescrip
ton. Mr.. E. Wright sleeps in the store
he opened the back door, and the woman
entered. After compromising the prescrip
ton, she handed him q bill to change. liz
opened the safe. just then, man who j:
known as Doctor Miller, of that city
having family Of several children ard q
wife in the third day of recovery from
confinement, entered the store and gave
some directions about changing the com
pound. Mr.. Wright proceeded to re-f1
the direction, and Miller proceeded to
knock him down with soldering iron
which he had concealed. The iron wal
thrown from the handle, Wright seized it
and struck at Miller, the woman came to
the latters' assistance, and Wright was
seriously wounded in the fight. lie ran
to the front door, but it was locked. He
sprang through large window and cut
his face badly with the glass. Running
toward the Mondell House, he cried,
murder" A posse was soon at the store,
but the derils had fled. The safe was
open and the money scattered over the
floor, (S4OO in all.) The amount Of mon
ey Tailed with the cash account Of the
previous night. 1t was evidently pre-.
concerted affair by Miller and his elere.
This morning the country is being secured
for the brutes, and we much fear that
violence will be their portion if caught
while the blood of our neighbors is up
Mr.. Wright is quite small man, and a
much respected gentleman. The firm is
an old one, and the outrage naturally de-
mands summary vengeance, but we hope,
for the sake of Law, order, and humanity
that the guilty fiends will be caught, jail
ed, tried, and condemned in a manner as
legal as it may be severe. Do nothing
rash, when you can reach the result in an
orderly manner.
LATER.-Doctor Miller is captured and
is now in Jail at Pr. du Chen. A Bosco-
bel detective with several gentlemen from
Pr. du Chen found the wretch at farm
house miles from Blue River station on
the Milwaukee road. 1t was II O'Clock
and the "bird' was asleep. lie denied
his name, but at length admitted all and
submitted. He was brought on the freight
to Pr. du Chen at o'clock and locked up
in double-quick, himself hurrying
matters more than any one else |!
At the time of his arrival
the citizens were asleep, or it probably
would have gone hard with him. 1t may
yet. His house was searched-wife de-
MED all charges of completely, but in the
search everything stealable was found
boxes of boots and shoes, bolts of calico,
sheeting, bundles of knives, half peck
of keys of al sizes-well, whole store
and we'll assorted at that. This Doctor
says if let alone few days he will make
disclosures of a very exciting character.
We suspect the robberies committed at
McGregor last summer. will have place
in the disclosures.

If it is true that an application of Peruvian

more per ton, produces no larger increase of
crop per acre then !So!"hzc P:c!jGc G;:>:so, (and
which, besides, renders the crop liable to
greater disaster if drought intervene) If this
be true, it is certainly a matter of individual
and general Importance.
first-Because its use in place of Peruvian
Guano would save to the planters of the
Southern States a very large sum of money.
1t is estimated that fifty thousand tons of
Peruvian Guano are sold in the United States
per annnm, and it is all bought by the South
ern and Middle Atlantic States; hence the
actual saving in money to the farmers and
planters Of these States, in the use of Soluble
Pacific Gatano, would be 81 100000; and in tho
ono. case more than $3OOO,OOO of gold are
drained from the agricultural districts of the
country to replenish the treasury of Peru,
while in the other the outlay remains in the
country to contribute to the general welfare

method, as dictated by tho nature of tho mat

method SO soon as the seed terminates it takes
the nourishment placed within its reach, and as
1t sends out its feeders from the hill or drill, it
comes in contact with the guano sown broad
cast and is thus supplied throughout it's
growth.
Corn has no tap root but sends out lateral
roots, through which its nourishment is re-
celved; but in its earliest termination it needs
the food to give it early vigor; hence, the
same method of application should bo used as
above Tor cotton. If applied only in the hill,
the crop will suffer and partially fail at the
most important period Of its growth, when it
needs all it con realize to form the ear.

FOR APPLYING
Soluble Pacific GE1zaYao,
FOR COTTON AND CORN CULTURE,

The principle which governs the method of
application to various crops, is found in a
knowledge OF the character of the roots of the
plant to which it is applied
The gaano must be so placed in the soil that
the small fibrenous roots, which are the feeders,
may find it at all stages of the crop.
Cotton hos a tap root, which penetratcs the
soil and furnishes support for the weed. From
this tap root multitude Of small fibrenous
roots, branch off in every direction, extending,
at the maturity Of the crop, from two to three
feet or more from the. tap; through these fine
tbres the plant receives all it's nutrition that is
drawn from the soil. If all the guano applied
be placed in the hill or drill, its full benefit
will not be realized by the plant; because, after
its early growth its feeders will have gone be-

Liberal versus Small Applications,

IL has been shown by experience that liberal ap-
plicatons of SouIlo Pacific Guano, pay much larger
profit on the Investment, than small applications per
acre.
1t is fornd that 200 lbs. per acre often produces
three to fonrfod increase 1t is reasonable then to
infer that all application Of twice that quantity would
produce very material increase. If 200 lbs addi-
tonal be applied, it would require only an increased
product OF less tan 40 lbs cotton at present price, TO
cover The cost OF the additional outlay, whilst 1t is
certain that if 200 lbs produces thrccold increase
aoo IDS OF the same powerful agency would produce
lar more than 10 lbs The permanent benefit to tho
land from SO liberal ali application, would of itself
compensate for the outlay even if no moro than the
cost was realized from the CROP

Certainly if Phosphate of Lime has value
as an element of fertility, eightccn thousand
tons IS worth more to agriculture than twelve
thousand tons; hence if it be true that an
equal weight of this Guano, applied to cotton
or corn, produces as great an increase Of crop
as results from Peruvian Guano, and better
results if the season be visited by drought;
then it is of the highest Importance to every
consumer Of Guano.

NOTICE.
To Consumers Of Soluble Pacific Guano.

The high character attained by this
appears, instigated the appropriation of
Asshe same name to articles of little or no
real value, which, VIC are credibly in
formed, arc freely offered in New York
and other markets with assurances Of
genuineness. Hence it becomes neccs-
sary, both for the protection of con-
sumers and the Pacific Guano Co. to call
attention to the fact, in order that proper
caution may be observed.
Tho only guarantee the purchaser can
have is that afforded by the name of the
Company's general agents stencilled on
the packages, and buyers are advised
that anless the name Of JNo S. REESE &
Co., GENL. AGENTS, BALTIMORE, is found
<atencllled on the bags, the Guano is fcti
tious,, and not genuine.

It is q recognized fact that under the sys-
TAM Of free labor, land that'will not yield more
than q third to a fourth Of bale of cotton
per acre, will not compensate for its culture
The average yield of the light pine lands of the
above States, we are advised, does not exceed
bale to three acres, and many state the
average does not exceed bale to four acres
This being true, a greater part of the soil of
the South must be abandoned, or it must be 80
fertilized as to bring the yield up to COM
pensating quantity
p That this is practicable, at moderate outlav
per acre, is demonstrated by abundant expert
ence.
