To YOUNG MEN.

Says Paul, 81 write you, young
men, because you are strong" The
world in all its stages has looked to
young men with interest and hope,
The reason is obvious; the young
man is "strong," with II life time be-
fore him. If guided Alright he may
fill that lifetime with usefulness and
honor. Time is allotted him for
good deeds. Not so with the aged ;
their work is done. If well done
we appreciate and honor them. but
we no longer turn to them with
hope. Their strength is waning !;
they seldom project new enter
prises; sometimes execute old ones
tardily or teebly; hence we turn to
the young-the young, who are
hopeful and "strong."
Young man, very much doubt if
you appreciate the interest that the
aged take in you. 1 am sure that
the young. man who is throwing his
life away does not appreciate this
interest. You perhaps do not know
that they, the aged, often cXclaim,
what a pity that a certain young
man-calling his name-has no
higher aims, pity that he is injur-
ing his health, wasting his time and
squandering his means. He has
ability, he has fine person, is truly
promising, but alas! is throwing
himself away.
In studying this phase of young
manhood, 1 have been led to believe
that many a young man could haye
been saved if he had known how
much interest others, especially the
aged, were taking in him. Few
things are more fatal to any ones
success, than the feeling or belief
that nobody cares for him. That
besotted young man touched a
chord in human nature, who, in my
hearing some years ago, said: 81
intend to get mad, drunk, and blow
my brains out" And when asked
the reason he said, "nsbody cares
for me-" He was mistaken, of
course, but were such true it would
drive q stronger and soberer man
than he to like desperation. 'Tis of
that somebody cares
for us. Let me assure you yonng
man that somebody cares for you.
Even though you may have faults,
even glaring and dangerous faults,
there are those who would be glad
to counsel and show you the better
way, way that promises peace,
usefulness, competence and honor.
On the other hand if you are indus
trious and honorable, many are
quietly saying, Chose whom you
never hear,) there is a young man
of promise, one who is to make his
mark for good; one whom we, the
people, will at some future day be
glad to honor. Paul was right in
stopping to write to young men,
and he gave the right reason, "be-
cause ye are stroag''-namely, be-
cause you have the promise of
long life which may be made use
full, honorable, noble-yea, nobler
than king or prince.
Hoping to be able to make some
suggestions which may be valuable,
1 shall, if health and duty permit,
follow this article with others,
some of the practical du-
ties OF young men.
Your FRIEND.

there has not heard an accurate ac-
count OF the status of political mat

advise them TO be on hand. We can
give our Burlington neighbors the
most positive assurances that these
meandcring Liberals are both
strictly honest. Tho only thing

that the Republicans won't give 'em

KANSAS REPoRTs.-We believe
there is general fault-finding ION
the part of our lawyers that they
cannot get the volumes of our
State Reports in anything like a
reasonable time after the decisions
therein contained are rendered.
There docs seem to be ground for
this complaint; just where it lies
we do not assume to say, but it does
demand remedy. We are inform
ed that Volume vi is just out and
not yet upon the shelves of tenth
of the libraries in the State; and
yet the legal periodicals of eastern
cities contain decisions there rem
dered, wherein the courts comment
upon cases decided by our supreme
court, and refer to them as in "7th"
or "Sth Kansas" and our attention
has been called to published Syl-
labi in the Commonwealth, June
2Sth, where in one case our supreme
OOuAS AOiCNS " lWO OoSOS Al 'SA
Kansas, five cases in Sth Kansas
and four cases in 9th Kansas. How
long before these cases will be ac-
cessiblc to the profession in any
shape other than imperfect syllabi,
we are not the prophet TO guess.
We should make one other objec-
ton If we felt ourselves competent
10 judge; that is, that the volumes
are too small, seeing that they are
so far behind in their appearance.
VOLUME v looks small enough and
yet 1t contains 766 pages, while we
believe the volume just out has
only 6l9 pages.

INTERESTING TO FARMERs.-A Sc
RIGS of experiments, instituted to
test the average loss by drying,
shows that corn looses one-fifth, and
wheat one fourteenth by the process.
From this tho statement is made
that farmers will make more by SELL
ing unshelled corn in the fall at rs
cents than the following summer at
81 per bushel; and that wheat at
S1.32 in December is equal to SI.5O
for the same wheat the following
June. This estimate is made on the
basis of interest at seven per cent.
and takes no account of loss from
the deprcdations of vermin. These
facts are worthy of consideration.
