SENSIBLE ADVICE.

'.Kansas," GAINESVILLE, Ohio, states his
case as follows :" Having been "A read
er of your valuable paper for long
time, and particularly the Answers to
Correspondents, l take the liberty of
asking a few questions, hoping you will
be kind enough to answer them. L am
a farmers boy, and lived on farm till
| was twenty years of age; then l be-
gan to learn a trade, at which i have
been working one year, and don't like
it. / want to go to Kansas to farm, or
to the Montana gold diggings, for | am
tired of town life, and want to go to
the west. Would it be better for me to
go to Kansas? Can young man get
plenty of work there? If so, what part
of the west is it best for n young man
to go to-" If you don't like the trade
you are working at you had better quit
it at once, for the probability is that
you never will be satisfied at it. HaV-
ing lived and worked on farm till
you were twenty years old, you ought
to understand farming pretty well, and
be able to carry it on for yourself sue
cessfulIy. We advise you not to go to
Montana or any other gold diggings.
1t is very hard, rough life, and where
one man makes a fortune digging gold,
twenty fail. You will have no difficult
ty in finding work in Kansas or in any
other western State. If you have no
money to invest in land there, you
might work the first season for some
good farmer there, or what would per-
haps be better, raise a crop on shares.
In the meantime be getting all the i'm
formation you can about desirable loca-
tions where homcsteads are to be had,
and as soon as you are satisfied on that
point, secure good homestead and go
to work on it. Then, with anything
like ordinary industry and good man
agement, in ten years or less you will
have a well improved farm, and be as
Independent as king, a good deal more
so than some kings are just now. OF
course VIC say this on the supposition
that you are young man of ordinary
intelligence and progressive notions. It
will be very easy for you to get a home
stead free and be as poor at the end of
ten years as you are now. If you want
to succeed in farming you must study ii
as business, take the papers and read
and think for yourself; see what others
are doing and avail yourself OF their
experience. Thus you can hardly fail
to prosper. We cannot advise what
part of the west you should go to. 1t is
full of locations where an Industrious,
intelligent, wide awake man can dc
well.-IOledo Blade.

EFFECT OF OCCUPATION ON HEALTH.

1t has oftentimes been asserted that
those exposed to severe labor in the
open atmosphere, were the least su bject
to sickness. This has been proven a
fallacy. OF persons engaged in heavy
labor in outdoor exposure, the percent
age of sickness in the year is 28.05. OF
those engaged at heavy labor indoors,
such as blacksmiths, etc., the percentage
of sickness is 26.54-not much to be
sure but of those engaged at light oc-
equations indoors and out, the percent
age of sickness is only 20.S0-21.5S. For
every three cases of sickness in those
engaged in light labor there are four
cases among those whose lot is heavy
labor. The mortality, however, is great
est among those engaged in light toll,
and indoor labor is less favorable to
longevity, than laboring in the open at
mosphere. 1t is established clearly that
the quantum of sickness annually fall
ing to the lot of man, is in direct pro-
portion to demands on his muscular
power.
How true this makes the assertion,
'Every inventor who abridges labor,
and relieves man from the drudgery of
severe toll, is benefactor of his race"
There were many who looked upon la
bor-saving machines as great evils, be-
cause they supplanted the hand toll of
many operatives. We have helped to
cure the laboring and toiling classes of
such absurd notions. A more enlight-
ened spirit is now abroad, for all expe-
rience proves that labor-saving machines
do not destroy the occupations of men,
but merely change them.-Sctentifc

DON'T APOLOGIZE.

Nothing is more odious, unpleasant
or disagreeable than the numerous I'M
due apologies which many persons are
in the habit of making. We utterly
deprecate this habit, and can but wish
that something more pleasant could h
substituted instead. We don't wish t 2
readers of THE NEWS to think that We
don't believe in apologies, by no means.
We know in many instances apologies
are necessary.
They are wholesome and act upon the
injured feelings of one aggrieved with
soothing, healing power that is indie
scribable. fyou unintentionally wound
the feelings or grieve the heart of an
other, apologize; tell him You are sorry
for what you have done, and soon the
heavy clouds will give way to the more
genial sunlight. In short, if you do
anything in the least calculated to hurt
the feelings of any one, apologize. When
we say don't apologize, we allude to
those senseless, unmeaning apologies
given where they are not needed, made
when you have not offended.
Thus, apologizing for the dress, ap-
pearance, present occupation, etc. Such
continued apologies as we have heard
certainly induce us to believe that some
people are hypocrites.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN-THE SCENERY
OF NORWAY.

A letter dated at Hammerfest, Nor
way, July II, is published in the Ecan-
geliSt of last week. The writer, who is
the Rev. DIR. Daniel March, says:
1t is midnight by my watch-mid
night by the watches of my travelling
companions-midni by the ships
hronometer-midnight by our reckon
ing of time on our voyage, and yet the
sun is shining directly ia the north, full
orbed and as full of light as when with
in an hour of setting in clear sky in
America. look down a beautiful ford,
between two walls of dark mountains
and calm, bright sea, and in the utmost
limit of the view is the great orb of day
pouring food of golden light upon
the water, kindling the fleeing clouds
above him with all the hues of the rain
bow, browning the dark ridges of the
mountains with rosy tints, and cover
ing the whole face of land and sea with
a calm, sacred, awful beauty, such as /
never beheld in any other region of the
earth. 1t seems as if l had climbed so
high up the ridge of the round world
that l could see over into the secret
chambers where the King of Day retires
to his golden rest. l feel almost afraid
to look at the awful monarch while he
is putting on his robes of brightness and
preparing to go forth and shine upon
the subject world. 1t seems as if had
ntruded with rude and impertinent Gu
riosity into the secret place of the King
of Light, and that he might punish the
intrusion by shifting me with blindness.
Never could this strange sight of the
midnight sun be seen to better advan-
tage. The ship entered this beautiful
ford just in time to give us the best
possible position for beholding the two
things whichonce seenare never to be for
gotten-the sun at midnight and the sun
directly in the north.
The town of Hammerfest is the most
northerly town in the world. | have
been up a mountain this afternoon and
looked over the North Cape into the
Arctic Sea- l am now within nineteen
degrees of the North Pole. The scene
ry all the way from Bodo, and indeed
all the way from Throndjem, has been
most wonderful in variety and beauty.
The steamer does not go out to sea at
all, but passes from ford to ford and
from island TO island, always bringing
us within view of bold headlands and
jagged peaks, and quiet, green banks
and meadows, and silver cascades leap
ing down the mountain sides, and snowy
peaks and blue glaciers, all mingled,
changing and multiplied in endless va
| riety and succession. 1t is as if Lake
Killarney, and Como, and Geneva, and
Lncerne, and Maggiore, and twenty
others, were all connected, and twisted
and linked and braided into every pos
| sible form, and steamer should take
us through them all. The Lofodon are
especially beautiful beyond all descrip-
ton.

A NEW CHURCH.

Commodore Vanderbilt has donated
fifty thousand dollars TO buy church.
He has bought a church for that sum,
and secured the use of it to the pastor
of Church of the Strangers during his
natural life. The property is very val
liable for business purposes, and will be
more so in a few years. The deeds are
in the name of Vanderbilt. The Church
of the strangers was established during
the war as a refuge for Southern fami
lies living in New York. DIR. Deems,
the pastor, is member of the Metho-
dist Conference, South. The Church is
the apostles creed as its basis, and adj
mits all to church membership who sub
scribe to that, without reference to their
UNCONVENTIONAL peculiarities. The Mer-
Ger street church is to be fitted up with
both font and baptistry, to accommo-
date those who wish to be sprinkled or
immersed. When Mrs. Vanderbilt re-
sided in Mobile, and was in humble
circumstances, she became acquainted
with DR.. Deems, and received kind
ness at his hands. In her new position
she does not forget the friend of her
humber days. She joined Doctor
Deems congregation, and her husband
gave 81 800 toward the rent of the Uni
versity Chapel. When the Mercer
street church was put into the market
the Commodore furnished the money to
secure it. He has given the use of the
church to Doctor Deems during his
life. He would not have anything to do
with trustees but it is exclusively in
the hands of the minister, so if there is
any trouble in the congregation they
can't turn the pastor adrift.. The church
is undergoing alterations, and will be
ready for use about the first of October.
A grand opening will then take place.
The services will occupy about a week.
Ministers of various denominations
will be invited. A public meeting will
be held, at which the Governor will pre-
side. AT another the Mayor will pre-
side. Other meetings will be appoint
ed, in which William E. Dodge and 9TH
er prominent citizens will participate.

THE CENSUS OFFICE AT WASHING
TON.


The grand point of attack, for that
portion of the office-seeking army who
are easily satisfied, is at present the CEN
sus bureau. The immense amount of
work that is steadily flooded in upon it
has necessitated considerable increase
in its force of clerks. As matter of
course. when this became known, apph-
cations showered down from every
quarter and applicants hurried post
haste over all the roads leading to the
capital. Many of these gentry, howev-
er, have been doomed to suffer dlsap-
pointment. There is comparatively lit
tie difficulty in obtaining admission to
the examination, but this is so rigid that
but small minority undergo the ordeal
successfully. For once we have bu-
reau whose clerkships are not regarded
as senatorial or Congressional perquis-
ties, to be dispensed in payment of po-
litical services and personal friendship.
The effort in this instance is to secure
competent men, and the means taken
are so effectual that l would have no
hesitancy in pronouncing the census of
fee, as it now stands, a model which all
others would do well to copy. Perhaps
it may interest your readers to know
somewhat of the moduS 0perd4adE to
which l have alluded.
The examination is wholly of prac-
teal character. The question and prob
lens are written or printed upon one
sheet of paper, and the answers are re-
quired to be written upon another.
They refer principally to the fundamen-
tai branches, bearing most heavily upon
arithmetic, proficiency in whichis espec-
tally necessary in order to transact
properly the work of the Office. SO nu-
merous are these queries, and so lntrl-
cate and tedious the work involved that
very many find themselves unable to
complete the task in the allotted seven
hours. But finished or unfinished, the
work must go in at l p. M, and abide
its chances, for celebrity, as well as accu-
racy, is merit here. To prevent all
possibility of favoritism or injustice,
only fictitious names are signed to the
papers, and upon these Judgment is
passed. The real name of the appi-
cant is, however, written on a slip of
paper and inclosed in a scaled envelope,
which is Endorsed with the nom de
plume chosen. These proceedings were
all carried out in good faith, and the eX-
animation is probably the fairest, al
though one of the strictest, that has cv-
| err taken place in this city.
After entering upon duty, the clerk
takes possession of perhaps one-fifth OF
| a long table, in a room with from SIX
to sixty companions. Here the officer
in charge is almost always present, but
his presence is not needed to preserve
order. Every man is required to make
a daily, weekly and monthly report OF
work done and time employed; and the
rumor has gone abroad that promotion
| is to be exclusively the reward of in
dustry, accuracy, rapidity and punctu-
atty so each strives to Guido his neigh
Dor, silently and with all his faculties
absorbed in his work washington

Der of Congress take charge of the can
vass, and make such appointments as
wiz suit their convenience.

State during the next two years, and
have them bound for future reference.
On Motion the committee adjourned,
and the executive committee, consisting
of Messrs. Anthony, Beman and Sells,

MUSIC.

The Louisville CotHier-.Jousnal says ::
"There is no doubt that music-not vo-
cal alone, but strumental-shouid be
introduced into all our public schools az
regularly and as systematically as alge-
bra and prayers. The pianoforte espec-
tally should be given over to boys,
whom it will chasten and refine, but
whom it cannot corrupt, like the violin,
which ought to be surrendered to the
girls. The fiddle, as a masculine instru-
ment, is the DEVILS recruiting officer.
But lad cannotstick piano under his
arm and CAD about skylarking and
drinking, dancing and making donkey
of himself. Besides, no girl has the
nervous strength and muscular agility
sufficient to excel on the piano, whilst
every girl of musical tastes is equal to
the violin. The instruments and their
devotees should be reversed, and thus
the one might be made moral teacher
and the other an element of harmless
beauty and grace"

TREATMENT OF APPLE ORCHARDS.

An orchard in America is a much
greater source of trouble and anxiety
than it need be. Cultivation, manuring,
&c, is the custom, but having seen bet
ter bearing trees in orchards where per-
manent grass has continued undistnrb-
ed, l am slow in believing it pays to
grow aught under trees at such a cost
as is usually incurred. The best apple
orchards / ever saw or heard of, belong
ed to two brothers named Gilbert. They
had several, varying in extent from
three to seven acres each. all of which
had been planted from ten to twenty
years, and there were no dead trees or
any bad bearers, and they made their
fortune by the following course of man.
agement, which could not be so well
followed in this country, because farm
ers do not keep so much live stock here
as the tenants do in England: The whole
of these orchards was old grass land
which had never been plowed in the
memory of man. Every spring, about
the middle of May, they had sale by
auction of the grass from that time to
the 1st of September, to be grazed by
sheep or young cattle not older than
one year and half, and as farmers are
generally overstocked rather than I'M
der, in old England, the price was an
accommodation one (unless in any par
ticularly growing and plentiful period
and the grass was kept closely grazed,
the sheep and yearling cattle dropping
a great deal of their dung under the
trees where they would be in the shade
during hot days. These trees were reg
ular bearers, or, at least, much more
regular than ordinary, and the fruit was
finer. However, apple trees are COM
monty good on the old pasture land, but
farmers are very apt to be careless, and
put in such live stock as injure young
trees.
The moving of orchards is not wise,
for hay cannot be well made, and of
course the taking away of the crop tells
in an opposite way to the converting OF
it into dung and urine, which feeds the
roots of the apple trees. Some people
advocate the growth of apples to feed
to cows, but by selling them, the money
made would buy food worth double
what they are for such purpose. G. G.

JUDGE BREwER.-Before the rebel
lion, and whilst the Pixies Peak gold
excitement was at its highest, there
came to our city a young lawyer from
New York. He put out his "shingle,"
and began his trial trip for success.
That was David j. Brewer. He was
arship and well read in the law, but one
of the. most excessively modest men
that we ever met. He entered into part
nership with an old gentleman named
Col. W. II. Russell, well known TO our
citizens of that day.
The partnership did not last long. Mr..
Brewer and a young man named Hath
away, becoming somewhat intimate,
concluded to seek their fortunes in the
mountains. They started for Pixies
Peak, but proceeded only part of the
way. Brewer becoming dissatisfied
with his companion, they both turned
back, stopping awhile, we believe, in
Lawrence.
They separated, and Mr.. Brewer set
tied at LeavenwOrth, where success has

there about the time of his assassina-
