MOTHERS BE CAREFUL.

Mrs. Carlton felt fretful. Things had
gone wrong with her all day, aud when
things went wrong with her, she always
scolded. Not that she was usually cross,
for she was not; she did her best to
make home pleasant for husband and
child, but she had not fully learned the
sweet grace of patience with the little
annoyances of life. The husband was
away ut the village, and little Fred was
at school, ST. there was no one to scold
at but the dog, who missed his little
master, and kept following Mrs. Carl
ton with mute appeal for notice. She
pushed him with Eer foot, and angrily
said,
"Do 60 away you ugly, good-for. moth.
ing dog"
Rover went away, but seemed dog
gishly to question the p.opriety Of call
ing him ugly when he always obeyed
the slightest gesture Of command; or
good for nothing, when only two years
before he had saved little Freddie from
watery grave. Soon he wisely con-
cluded not to trouble himself about
what could not be helped, and lay down
OH the doorstep to take a nap.
Mrs. Carlton seemed to come to a like
conclusion, and lay down Oh the sofa
for little rest and was going to sleer
when quick, glad bark reused her, and
Fred and his friend burst noisily into
the room.
30 mother! cried the eager child
II can say the multiplication table up t.
twelve, and spell California;"
80 dear! wish you were in Califor
mia ! wish you ever could be still!"
Tears dimmed tho sparkling eyes o
little Fred as he glided softly up to her
Did I make your head ache? am 81
sorry, mother"
She did not return his kiss, but push
ed him from her saying,
"Do 60 away and let .ne have a min
ute's peace!"
As Rover and Fred went into the mex
room, the dog gave low, peculiar bark
which seemed to say,
"No use trying to suit her; let's g
out aud have some fun"
mo, no, Rover" answered the child
"Mother is tired, and her head aches
She 10 dear good mother; see, she ha

pa calls me perpetual notion but

The mother heard, and her hear
smote her. Her boy was noisy, but sh
had 10 other fault to find with him
She could not help contrasting his ODE

THE PRAIRIE FARMER Office was
utterly destroyed In the terrible fire
ut Chicago. The Publishers saved
their Subscription and Account Books
and all papers of value; and on the
18th ult. they began their regular
issue, but Of course in reduced size for
the present. And now they appeal to
all old friends, and rs many new ones
as may be. to send the money for one
years. or two years subscription, and
thus assist them in getting in full
running order again. The Prairie
Farmer has long been widely known

be money doubly well invested.

IxpRcvED.-A few days since, In
passing the Cemetery just south Of
Durham's Ferry, in Clay Township,
we noticed that it had of late received
an entire new fence, besides having
been surveyed and staked off in good
shape, cleared of all brush and rub
bish, nicely graded, set with ever
greens, and sown in grass. A shor'
time since, a meeting was called ut the
School House in that neighborhood,
a Society formed, Officers chosen te
serve for one year or until succeeded
by election of the Society, DC. This
Society resolved to take charge of the
Cemetery, put it in good order, and
keep it SO. They have performed vel
their mission SO far, and set a gOot
example for other neighborhoods in
the County, whose cemeteries badly
need q similar course of treatment.

The ADVANCE was one OF the sew
enty-five Chicago periodicals whose
Offices were consumed in the great
conflagration. Every cents worth OF
property belonging to it was destroyed
except only its Subscription List.
But we have received the paper again,
of date of 10th ult, in about its usual
size, announcing its full temperance
in two or three weeks from that date.
The Adudnce is one Of our best and
most valued religious exchanges. AT
ter the LIST Of January next, its Sub
scription price will be SD per annum.
Those who want II really excellent re.
ligious paper would do well to send
this amount at once, to The Advance
Company, Chicago-and thus not only
benefit themselves but help so much
to place the Publishers on their feet
again after the great disaster.

1t will hold four engines. II. II.
viersen, Esq, of Pella, has gone to
Iowa City to enter the Medical De-
partment of the State University
A boy named Pos piled up some shaw
ings on bench in one Of the buildings
used as a Scboolhouse i'm Pella. and
set fire to them, but they burned out
without setting fire to the building.
THE ID. V. Road has been doing a

FROM WARREN.-Alex. Freeman,
Esq, who has been making visit in
our neighboring County of Warren
tells US that there was a rumpus at
Indianola, a few days ago, between
the editors OF the two papers there,
but the parties were not personally
damaged. Bro. Brady seems to have
been the one attacked, and not to
have been in any way responsible for
the humiliating exhibition. We don't
pretend to judge for the Indianola
folks in such matters; but it certainly
seems that 1t must be a most extraor-
binary provocation indeed which can
In any manner justify resort to brute
force, especially among persons who
ought 20 know q better way.
Mr.. +. says the Warren County
folks are very anxious for an east-and'
west Railroad, and more ready now
than ever TO do their share towards
getting one. Their Railroad from
Des Moines don't prove to be quite as
big a thing as was expected, for lack
of through connections. As we un-
derstand, the people feel rather more
bored than joyful over it. Well,
probably by next Spring, or Summer
at the farthest, they will have an OPP
portunity to show what they will dc
towards great Through Road in this
tier.
One thing Mr.. Freeman mentioned
seems to us little singular. Since
the dry weather began last Summer,
four new springs have commenced
flowing, in different places that ne
named, and are now flowing freely
and steadily. Can any one account
for this phenomenon
