Ezow to Tovn.

Horace Greeley presents the following
as a sure mean of destroying the pros
perity of the most promising town.
There can be no doubt of its efficacy:
If you wish to keep a town from thriv-
ing don't put up any more buildings
than can conveniently occupy yourselves.
If you should accidentally have an empty
dwelling, and any one should want to
rent it, ask him three times the actual
value of it. Demand q Shylock price for
every spot of ground that God has given
you stewardship over Turn a cold
shoulder to every mechanic or business
man seeking a home among you. Look
at every new conner with a scowl. Run
down the work of every new workman.
Go abroad for wares, rather than deal
with those who seek to do business in
your midst. Fail to advertise, or in any
other way to support your paper, so peo7
pie abroad may not know whether any
business is going On in your town or not.
Wrap yourselves up within yourselves
and cover yourselves with a coat of i'm
pervious selfishness. There is no more
effectual way to retard the growth of, a
town than the actions like those numer-
ated, and there are people in every town
who are pursuing the above course every
day of their lives, and to whom the above
remarks are most respectfully offered for
their careful attention.

ROESEGnCSS.

True politeness is so near allied to
goodness that one is rarely found unac-
companied by the other. 1t is too often
regarded as al acquisition merely eXter-
nal in its observance. But it is not al
ways secured in Il school of art. Its
steady and genuine growth is truly indI-
genous to the home circle, where espe-
cially it should be so carefully cultivated
as to not only gid, but form a basis to
the educational structure. A celebrated
author has justly remarked that whether
we wish to be useful or pleasing, the first
requisite is a religious and moral know
ledge ofright and wrong. We often see
those who, after a term of unproficient
accomplishments. an initiatory of the
most pleasing motions and graceful atti-
tudcs, affected with vanity and self-con-
ceit, make their debut upon the stage of
life as thoroughly bred and polite ladies
and gentlemen, of whose endowments
they are as ignorant as a dancing jack of
the art it is made to ape. The simple
rule edo to others as you would that 9TH
ers should do to you" furnishes the only
golden key to true politeness, without
which all accomplishments avail little.
1t has its origin in the pure and upright
heart, which eve evinces a just appre-
citation and regard for the right and SEN
sibilities of others, and far transcends all
lesser forms, as the most costly diamond
in value and brilliancy transcends its
worthless imitation.

of the people, and the unnatural deeds
they lead to, are too terrible and revolt
ing to be dwelt upon in thought or Ian
guage.
But why is it, thatin this age of Chris
tian benevelence a nation is left to be al
most eXterminated by famine? Is that
country of ancient beauty and romance,
so far removed from the frontiers of CIV
ilization, SO far beyond the reach of mod
ern railroads and steamships that we can
not send its starving people bread? 1t
is astonishing to reflect that this famine
has been raging worse h a pestilence
for months past, and the Christian world
has hardly stretched out a hand to save
those who were 'Eready to perish" Here
are the three States of Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas, to say nothing OF others, that
could feed a starving world from their
wheat stacks and corn cribs. Is there no
way by which a portion of overflow
ing abundance can go to feed the famish-
ing P~ersians?
Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1871-09-14
The Art Of Employing T'iEzle.

Adam Smith has shown, beyond all
possibility of cavil, that a great many
more pins can be made if the process is
divided among eighteen trades, than if
each workman is obliged to make every
pin from beginning to end himself. So,
too, a naturalist, year after year in the
observation of red ants, will be likely to
learn far more of their nature and habits
than could be ever known without
making them the objects of special study.
There is a story told of a learned Ger
man professor who had given his whole
life t the study of the Greek article, and
who on his deathbed warned his son to
learn from his example, and not to frit-
ter away his time in trying to master too
extensive a subject; for he himself had
failed in that way, whereas he might
have accomplished something if he had
confined his labors to the dative case.
Now it is no mean thing to accomplish
something, and there is a deep delight in
knowing that a thing done has been done
well. Perhaps II is happier if, by dint
of patient grubbing for q lifetime, he
finally gets to the bottom of one thing,
than he would be if, like a swallow skim
ming over a thousand meadows, he had
been merely slipping the manifold sweets
of nature, even though he should have
slipped of them all.
We would not speak too positively on
this point for it is so easy to be wrong.
But in so far as we may speak, we will
declare our conviction that there is a
higher ideal than exclusive devotion to a
single end, and that more happiness and
the best social results are attainable by
an harmonious development of all our
faculties, intellectual moral and aesthetic,
We believe that q state of society is de-
sirable, and we hope it is attainable, in
which even the pointer Of pins, or the
1owliest of workers will, in addition to
his routine of work (for We do not expect
or desire to see division of labor dis
carded), find both time and inclination
to extend his thought over other fields
We feel that no man should, if he can
help it, allow himself to be so absorbed
in a single pursuit as to find no pleasure
elsewhere, and thus dwarf the greater
part of his nature. There is a joy in
work, it is true, if work be performed
with heart and strength; but there arc
~innumerab1e other joys of nature, which
present themselves at unexpected mo-
ments in unexpected ways, and must be
grasped at once or they are gone forever

Saving; s.HEazeft.l,, Things.

What a strange disposition is that
which leads people to say ''hateful"
things for the mere pleasure of saying
them! You are never safe with such a
person. When you have done your best
to please, and are feeling very kindly
and pleasantly, out will pop some under
hand stab which you alone can compre-
bend; a speer which is masked, but
which is too we'll aimed to be misunder-
stood. 1t may be at your person, your
mental feeling, your foolish habits of
thought, or some little secret opinions
confessed in a moment of genuine conf
dence. 1t matters not how sacred it may
be to you, he will have his fling at it
md since the wish is to make you suffer,
he is all the happier the nearer he touches
your heart. Just half a dozen words,
only for the pleasure of seeing a cheek
flush, and an eye lose its brightness,
only spoken because he is afraid you are
too happy or too conceited. Yet they are
worse than so many blows. How many
sleepless nights have such mean attacks
caused tender-hearted men! How, after
them, one awakes with aching eyes and
head, to remember that speech before ev-
erything-that bright, sharp, weli-aimed
needle of a speech that probed the very
centre of your soul.

How TO get Plenty ofFresEl Eggs.

In a long communication to the Ger
mantown Telegraph, upon the subject
of poultry, Mr.. E. Dwight, of Hudson,
Michigan, considers the question, GLOW
to get plenty of good Favored fresh eggs
with little trouble and thinks if there
is any secret in it he has discovered it,
and makes the same public for the bene-
fit of all interested. He says:
"Once, thirty years ago, 1 was trout
bled just as my neighbor now is. l fed
my hens plenty of corn and got but few
eggs. 1 reasoned upon the matter, and
happened to think the constituent parts
O fmilk and the white of eggs were much
alike. Now, it has long been known to
milkmen that wheat middling and bran
are about the best of any feed to make
COWS give milk; why not then
the best to make the hens lay eggs? l
tried it, and since then have had no
trouble. My mode of preparing the feed
is to mix about five parts of bran with
one of middling. In the morning l wet
up with water about four quarts of the
mixture in a large tin pan, taking pains
to have it rather dry though all damp.
This l set in a warm, sunny spot, south
of their shed and they walk up, take a
few dips, don't seem to fancy it like corn,
and start off on a short hunt for some
thing better, but always coming round
in a short time for a few more from the
dish of bran. There is little time during
the whole day but what one or more are
standing by the pan, and helping them
selves.
[ am careful to mix for them just as
much as they will consume during the
day. At night just before they repair
to the roost, L usually throw them about
4 pint of shelled corn, well scattered, so
that each n can get a few kernels. If
your hens don't incline to eat this feed
at first, sprinkle a little Indian meal on
it. 1 would like all who complain of not
getting eggs to try my plan, and 1 think
they will never be sorry.

MAGNIFIcENCE OF ANCIENT BATHS.
There is no lack of evidence that New
York is falling into the wake of ancient
cities, dating back even as far as the days
of Homer, when natural warm springs
and baths artificially heated ranked
among the public luxuries. The modern
excavations both in Rome and Pompeii
disclose baths of enormous extent, and of
masonry so enduring that the work
serves as an imperishable monument of
former greatness. The great thermG
erected by the Emperors OF Rome, such
as the baths of Caracalla, were five hun
dred yards in length, and nearly of equal
breadth, and the natoriam or swimming
bath of Diocletian was 4 sea in miniature,
the whole establishment being adequate
to the accommodation of eighteen thou
sand persons at the same time.
