A Pithy Sermon to Young
Men.
You are the architects of
your own fortunes. Rely upon
your own strength of body and
soul. Take for your motto,
self.reliance, honesty and in
dustry; for your star, faith, per-
severance and pluck, and in.
scribe on your banner, "Be
Just and fear not" Don't take
too much advice; keep at the
helm and steer your own ship.
Strike out. Think we'll OF
yourself Fire above the mark
you intend to hit. Assume
your position. Don't practice
excessive humility; you can't
get above your level-water
don't run up hill--put potatoes
in a cart over a rough road and
the small ones will go to the
bottom. Energy, invincible
determination, with a right
motive, are the levers that rule
the world. The great art Of
commanding is to take a fair
share of the work. Civility
costs nothing and buys every.
thing. Don't drink; don't
smoke; don't swear; don't gam.
BILE; don't steal; don't deceive;
don't tattle. Be polite; be gen.
erous; be kind. Study hard
play hard. Be in earnest. BE
self-reliant. Read good books
Love your fellow men as youl
God; love your country ant
obey the laws; love truth; love
virtue. Always do what you
conscience tells you to be
duty, and leave the conse
quence with God. .-r. ..,"

The work of Sherman's bum
mers doth live after them
to the great bewilderment Of
puzzled Treasury officials, who
want Congress to pass a law
about it. There are plate, dia'
monds, velvets, gold and silver
coin, and all manner of heir
looms, that, after being first
ravished from the bummers by
an inexorable (and very un
common) Provost-Marshal
were by him turned over tc
the Treasury, and have thence
forth been safely locked up ii
the triply-walled vaults. South
ern Senators say their constit
uents want it all back, ant
the Treasury guardians dom
see any law for it. ,,,.-

You will sometimes fns in
your fields a large black beetle,
wearing upon its broad back
rows of most brilliant golden
dots. Know that it is. not to
be destroyed. According to
Dr. Pitch, the distinguished ento-
mologist, its eggs produce the
corn -grub-killet, that most
inveterate foe of cut worms
1t hunts them continually, and
feeds on nothing else, so long
as the supply holds out. When
it finds them in plenty, it gorges
and surfeits itself upon them,
till SO distended that it hardly
knows how to stir, for it never
does respect a cut worms de-
sire to be 1let alone" 1t grasps
him in its strong jaws, and de.
spite violent writhing and
struggle, holds him fast. Piew-

The following particulars Of
the Indian massacre on Fossil
creek, are given:
The tongues and hearts were
cut out of the dead bodies
The men killed had the calves
of their legs slit down and tied
under their shoes, pieces OF
flesh cut from their backs, and
pieces of telegraph wire stuck
into their bodies, and their
ears cut off and heads scalped.
John Park, Deputy United
States Marshal, reports that
the Indians boiled the hearts
of these men for medicine.
The Swedish settlers who
were attacked on SpillmaH
Creek all lived in one house,
and only those men were killed
that left the house and at.
tempted to reach place Of
greater security. Those that
remained in the house were
not molested; this occurred in
two or three instances. The
calamity is mainly attributa-
BILE to the lack of arms, for
whenever a gun was fred
the savages made no fight
The Indians drove off consid'
cradle stock from the settle
ment.

to undertake his part.
Mr.. Brennet entered the cage
and succeeded for a time in
making the lions go through
their performances; but when
it came to the close, which
consists in giving the animals
raw meat, the director lost
courage, and instead OF keep"
ing a firm eye on the animals,
as tanners are wont TO do, he
trembled and made for the
door of the cage. This sealed
his doom. A large lioness was
the first to pounce on him, and
in a few minutes the unfortu-
nate man was torn to pieces
The excitement of the audi
ence was intense.

Human urine, when allowed

.One of the most valuable fer

is a good plan TO have a barrel

liquid, dried sods of grass, dry
leaves, Cry horse manure may
be occasionally added as an alb

the better. The proper time to
applyitis after a soaking rain;
at this time the vegetable ap-
petite is aroused into hungry
action. The little rootlets of
vegetables reach out in every
sdirectiea eager for plant food.
1t is the very time to feed
growing vegetables while thus
manifesting an eager and W,
racious appetite. This liquid
manure is very rich and strong,
and would injure the plants if
applied undiluted with water
in a dry time. But with the
soil like a sponge, full of rain
water, it may be safely applied.
