Mrs. Merriam had daughter, and
that daughter grew up to woman
hood, he went tor her as hotly as OF
old he had pursued her cruel man
ma. And alas /! with equally futile
endeavor, tor the daughter, with in
herited unkindness, in turn rejected
his suit and espoused chap named
Morton. But J. M. L. Scoville was
still not to be discouraged. He re-
membered the ant mot the aunt) oi
Tlmour, and resolved to fail sixty
nine times, but that be would succeed
the SEVENTEEN. "She," said he,-
'.She is .Ooman, therefore may be wooed;
She is womDn, therefore may be won."
iThe man that hath tongue. Isay, is no man
II with that tongue he cannot win woman.
And 50 Scov:lle patiently waited
not tor the daughter, for then there
would surely be no hope for SO old
cove as Scoville, who would have
wooed his putative swcetheart's
grandmother. But he would wal.
until No. 2 should become widow;
until Morton had pegged cut. This
Morton obligingiy did, after few
years, and then-,o triomphe!-Sco
villes suit was offered, urged, accept
cd. Widow Morton became Mis-
tress Scoville. Scoville had in the
meantime accumulated handsome
fortune. and the glitter thereof may
or may not, have had something tc
do with thawing the icy heart OF the
widow Morton. Suffice it to say
that she is now again . widow
rich one-and that the recent death
OF Mrs. Merriam, her late husbands I
first love, has afforded the local pa
pers the opportunity to tell this
touching tale.-[Chicago Post.

The urgent need Of more efficient

speeches in Parliament, Mr.. Foster
spoke of . single square mile in the
east end OF London, in which $4,000

KSmgs llOt Natives.

The Phlladelphia Press calls to
mind the fact that when Napoleon
objected to Prince Leopold, Of Ho-
henzollern, occupying the throne OF
Spain, because he was German, he
entirely ignored the simple truth
that nearly every crowned head in
Europe traces his descent from aliens
and foreigners. For example:
France had Louis Napoleon for
her Emperor, the founder Of whose
dynasty, General Bonaparte, was
Corsican by birth and Italian by race.
Victoria, Queen OF England, rcigns
by virtue of her descent from petty
German Prince, who had married
tho grand daughter of James l.,
Scotchman by birth, his mother hav.
ing been Mary Stuart.
In Spain the Emperor Charles Y.
was 4 German by his fathers slde.-
His dynasty ceased in 1900 for male
heir, and French Prince became
King Of Spain, with the title Of
Philip v. Thus the hated Bourbon
limo, now nominally represented by

the little boy in Paris, who calls
himself Alphonso XII, was estab.
lished in Spain.
King William of Prussia, is a
Swabian by descent.
The Emperor Of Austria repre-.
sents a dynasty which was founded
by a Swiss soldier.
The King Of Italy can show de-
scent only from the Counts OF Savoy
and this is actually rather French
than Italian.
Christian TX, Of Denmark, who il
King by arrangement rather than
popular election, belongs to Ger
man family, long settled in Ho'stein
Sweden is governed by the grand
son of French lawer, who, having
risen under Napoleon l., to the rauk
of Field Marshal and Prince oi
Pointe Corvo, was elected Crown
Prince of Sweden, and finally sue.
cccded to the Crown.
The King Of Greece has no Hell
lenic blood in his veins, being simply
one of the sons OF the King of Den
mark, who is not himself Dane.
Belgium has for her monarch the
son Of Leopold, q pretty German
Prince, by the daughter of French
Princess. He is grandson OF Louis
Philippe, Of France.
Strictly counting up, the only
monarchies Of Europe governed by
native princes are Turkey, Portugal
Holland, Wurtemberg, Saxony aud
Bavaria. All the rest Of the Euro.
pean sovereigns are from Greek
family. Yet, whatever their descent
the sovereigns, whether native OF
foreign, become national, in their re-
spcctivc localities, when they reign.
Louis Napoleon certainly thinks
more OF France than of Italy, whence
his family came, and it has always
been to the credit of Louis Bona
parte, his father, that he becaTe a
Dutchman in heart and soul as soon
as he was made King Of Holland
because OF tnls, MS imperial ana I'M
perious brother accused him OF neg
lecllng his interests, and the result
was, that, finding it was expected that
he should govern Holland only as a
French satrap, the mere Lieutenant
of Napoleon, he took off his crown,
laid down hs scepter, and retired INTO
private life.
There is no reason for thinking
that if Spain had adopted Leopold, Of
Hohenzollern, he would have govern
ed that country as German Prince.
His father in.lsw, of the Saxe-Co-
b, = family became SO good Portu.
gQese after his marriage with Queen
D6ma Maria de Gloria, that the Ia
ment in that country now is, that
he, not his son, is not the present

Meantime the glut at the great
grain marts at the West continues
and is increasing. There is delay ar 4
danger in shipments via the Lakes
and Welland Canal, though vast
quantity of grain seeks that outlet in
preference to the Erie Canal. There
is no reason to suppose that the grain
crop of the West will materially fall
off; and what the farmers of that i'm
mense region mainly need is direct,
rapid, and cheap transit from the prai-
ries to the seaboard. Atpresent the
business is settling into certain ruts,
from which it will be more and more
difficult to move it. The hour for en-
terprise is now. The country re-
qnires a system of transit by which
one bushel of wheat will market two
other bushels, and the capitalist or the
corporation that sees this the clearest
and acts upon the knowledge with
the most promptness will do for this
generation what De Witt Clinton did
for the last generation, and for this,
the metropolitan city Of the cont
nent.-[N. Y. Tribune.

September strews the woodland Ger,
With many . brilliant color;
The world 10 brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duller2
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weathcrl
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not well toge lher.
This is the parting season--this
The time when friends are fyi"G
And lovers, now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why is earth SO gayly dressed?
This pomp that Autumn heareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weaseth.
Each one of us, per:hance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkled men.
Our brows with silver laden,
And thsu this glen may seek again,
But never more . maiden
Nstass, perhaps, forssees that Spring
will touch her teemiug bosom,
And that . few brief months will bring
The bud, the bee, the blossom;
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither--
The virgin that sdorss them -
Will never more come hither.

This is one ofthe most important
of all the Western States. In 1870
It contained not far from 40, 600 inhab.
itants. There Is little doubt but the
present census will show q popula-
tion at least twenty times larger.
SURFACE.
The surface of Iowa is undulating.
It has no mountains or high hills, the
greatest elevations and depressions
being bounded by a few hundred
feet. The southern portion is more
nearly level, and is made up Of plains,
groves, and rivulets, which form in
conjunction a country Of unrivalled
beauty. In the north, the surface is
more uneven, the scenery is bolder
and more striking, the rivers are
larger and in some places precipi-
tous, and the whole country unites
the gentleness Of plain and meadow
with the roughness which farther
north reaches the mountainous and
the grand.
SOIL.
The soil is a rich loan, that can
everywhere be cultivatcd--thc d, pth
on the highest points being never
less than twenty inches, and on the
lowest sometimes twenty feet. 1t is
underlaid either with mari and sand
or clay, and possesses store of veg
etable food that is well nigh exhaust
less. In section OF the older settled
portion, corn has been raised on the
same ground for twenty years, with
ouy. any other diminution in quality
or qnanity than that which comes Of
the changeful seasons, which no
fertility. Of soil can counteract or
modify.
DRAINAGE.
Two thirds Of the State is drained
by the Mississippi, the other third by
the Missouri; and the interior is SO
elevated that the grade from all parts
ls both uniform and constant. In
all the State, there is less marsh
acreage than in some counties in
other and not distant sections.
CROPS.
Indian corn and grass grow the
best; and the product of the former
is only bounded by the ability OF the
owner OF the soil TO turn sod ard de-
post seed. In addition to these,
wheat is among the surest products,
as we'll as the most paying. Fruits
flourish in the South. and grow with
little care all over the State. Near
the city of Burlington, the grape
grows in great luxuriance, and the
wine, mainly from the Catawba
grape, is among the best that is made
this sitlc the Sierras.
CLIMATE.
Tho climate is moderate, the mean
temperature not far from SO de-
orees Fahrenheit. It is most favor
able for agricultural operations
Peaches generally blossom in April,
aud wheat ripens in July.
In regard to healthtulness, Iowa
stands among the first of American
States, and scarcely second to any
country in the world.
MINERALS.
Underlying not little of the Stas e
are inexhaustible beds Of coal, which
enhance the value of the land inn
mensely. Iron and lead ore arc
found in great abundance, and taking
the soil on its surface, the minerals
beneath, and the situation 1t has
bounded on two sides by rivers that
reach to the ocean, bearing such pro-
ducts to market as her overloaded
railroads cannot carry-Iowa pre-
scnts attractions for the farmer, graz

ENERGY or WlLL.-It Is energy of
will that is the soul of the intellect;
Yherever it is, therc.is life; where it
is. not, all u dullness and nd-desponden-
cy and desolation. People who have
no experience OF it, imagine that it is
destructive to the nerves, exhaustive
of the animal spirits; that it aggra-
Yates the wear and tear of lite excess
siveIy. But this is an idle notion, as
idle as the habits and humors of
those who entertain 1t. Ileave it to
any man who knows its real effect
to strike the balance-to compare
the exhaustion Of an indolent dav
with that of an active one; to say in
which of the two cases the subject is
in better heart to work, and filter to
undergo it. Whatever We may be
about, one thing, | believe, Is certain,
that if the spirits are spent by energy,
they are utterly wasted by idleness;
at worst, energy can only end in re
taxation, it is superior 70 it for
while, and possibly At last may fall
INTO 1t; whereas, idleness is actual re-
Taxation from first to last, and can be
nothing else. But even this view,
favorable rs It is, is yet not favorable
| enough to be just. The tact is, that
violence is not necessary to energy
any more than tyranny is to king
ship; on the contrary, it is the gen.
tlest energy ttat-does the most work.
Energy, literally from the Greek, is
inward workingness; the blooming OF
the flower is energy, the increase of
fruit Is energy. the growth Of the
body is energy; yet in all these there
is no violence; the efficacy is not de-
structive, but vital; without it the
| whole frame must fall at once into
corruption; with 1t, instead OF corrup-
ton, We have life. But this, is may
be SAID, is . refinement. It may be
50, but it is true in fact, nevertheless.
The gainsayer will find 1t difficult to
produce anything from the subject OF
surer or more essential truth.
