THE CULTIVATION OF SUMAc.-A writer
in the Springfield, No, Leader calls atten-
tion to the Importance of utilizing the
leaves Of the sunac that grows in such
great abundance all over Southwest Mis-
souri,, and says:
But very few persons are aware that tho
sumac is of any value whatever, and will,
no doubt, be surprised to learn that the
tanners Of this country pay annually as
much as q million and Q half in money for
sumac leaves. Of this amount about two
thirds is paid for foreign sumac, and the
greater portion of the remainder is fur
nished by Virginia and Maryland. The
tanners of st. Louis import large quantities
every year from New York and Baltimore.
The Missouri sumsc is only worth So per
hundred in the Leaf, while that Of Virginia
and Maryland is worth from 60 to $50,
merely because it is ground. Arrange
ments have been made in st. Louis to have
its value demonstrated by a fair analysis.
the result'o of which will determine it's true
value in the market. Anybody can work
it; it is cured just like clover hay should
not have the dew fall on it moro than one
night, and must not get wet.

Lack and Labor.

Indolene people are the only true dis
ciplrs of luck, and luck alone lis their god.
They are always sure something is going
to "turn up" for their benefit, and there
fore visit in idleness, with "folding OF
hands," whilc the industrious, with strong,
sharp will. 60 manfully to work and "turn
up" something from the unpromising ma
terials.
Lack sleeps on tho hope ola legacy TO-
morrow, breakfasts on disappointment, and
sits ont the day in cold and hunger, still
waiting for the fortune that labor achieves
by sturdy blows and well directed efforts.
Tho ringing hammer, and the busy pen,
are laying the foundation of competence,
while Incidence fosters misery and crime.
Luck is simply the bantling of the most
precarions chance, while labor is the all
powerful god of success, that overleaps
every obstacle and conquers the world in
detail.
Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck re.
lies on the turn of a card. Labor on stur-
dy blows and honesty of purpose. Luck
slips downward to penury. Labor strides
upward to independence. Luck makes the
outcast and criminal. Labor the. man of
substance and the Christian gentleman.--

great difference, indeed, in the vote

as a gentleman, he is above reproach,
