By a rapid change we find our

the present county seat, (Oregon) is
near the Southern line, it is admit

There are so many families of
GIenns here that the neighhors think
the name of the town should be
changed TO GlenmUilLe, or HjllS5oro,

from the ''BIodel Town, 'y-for besides
The Glenus we find Barreres, Swear

A Mr., Kunkel, about two miles
from here, while boring for Coal,
discovered a Mineral Spring, the
waters of which rushed out with
such force as to put a stop to further
operations, and now run a constant
and forcible stream of some two
inches in diameter.
It is in contemplation to build
a Hotel at this point and open an /
other Mineral Spring" to the af-
ficted. There is no doubt but if
rightly managed, a famous watering
place can be started. The water is
delightful to bathe in, and cool and
pleasant to drink. No quantity that
can be drunk ever produces fullness
Or uneasiness.
The natural advantages of the
soil, climate and location Of this
county afford much greater induce
ments to the emigrant than almost

are not as mild here as in Southern
Missouri, but the soil is richer, and |
unlike that country it has scarcely

grindstone burst in s saw factory and
killed four men. She just happened %
remember that there was s small grind

against the wall. So she went out and
got an accident insurance policy, and
then, summoning the hired girl, and
holding the pie-board in front Of her. so
that if the thing exploded her face
would not be injured, she had the stone
taken out in the alley, where twenty

bearing a placard marked Dangerous"
She says it's a mercy the whole house

A farmer went to town one day, accom-
panied By his son, little Thomas
See" said he TO him on the way, " there
is broken horseshoe in the road pick it up
and put it in your pocket
80 no, father" replied Thomas, it isn't
worth while to stop and pick it up"
His father answering nothing, picked it up
and put it in his own pocket. lie sold it to
the blacksmith of the next village for three
farthngs, aud bought cherries with the money
After this they continued their journey.
The sun was burning hot. Neither house
nor treee nor spring was anywhere to be seen
Thomas suffered with thirst, and had great
difficulty in keeping up with his father
The latter then, as if by accident, let fall a
cherry Thomas picked it up with as much
cagerness as if it had been gold and pat it
in his mouth A few PAGES further on the
father let fall another cherry, which Thomas
seized with the same haste. This game con-
tinued until all the cherries had been picked
up. When the last had been eaten, the father
turned to his son smiling and said to him
You see now that if you had been willing
to stoop once to pick up the horseshoe, you
would not have been obliged to do it a hun.
dred times for the cherries" ErchaRge

without an Enemy.

Heaven help the man who imagines he
can dodge enemies by trying to please every
body If such an individual ever succeeded,
we should be glad of t-not that one should
be going through the world trying to fad
beams to knock and thump his head against,
disputing every mans opinion, fighting and
elbowing, and crowding all who differ from
him. That, again, is another extreme. 9th
er people have their opinion-so have you !;
don't fall into the error of supposing they
will respect you more for turning your coat
every day, to match the color Of theirs.
Wear your own colors, in spite Of winds and
weather, storms aud sunshine. 1t costs the
vaccilating and irresolute ten times the trouble
to wind aud shuttle and twist that it does hon
est, manly independence to stand its ground.

cause he is afraid you are too happy or too
conceted. Yet they are worse than SO many
blows How many sleepless nights have such
mean attacks caused tender.hearted men

your soul !-Household,
