A scientific Freedman has made the
discovery that tie ordinary tea drnker
takes into his stomach during the year
leather enough to make pair Of boots.
The reason Of this may readily be made
clear. A decoction of tea contains
iannin, as fannie acid, in solution; milk
contains albumen and as these two
substances are the chief Ingredients of
leather, aud as they actually uaite aud
form leather when brought into con
taet, the driuker Of tea makes sort

rSNHE sdsant ages Of Life Insurance are so
iaaHifoid and manifest that general inquiry

vision 10 be certain must be immediate. The

great aud important question Is, where shall
4 iusure Reason, seii-respect, self-interest,
thrifty and intelligent people indicate that a
man should insure at home, where be lives,

10 leave his property aud bis family. II Is as
humiliating as ID Is ruinoas for us To send nil
lions Of dollars out Of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home.
Money in Maryland Is scarce, iaterest AigA, aud
property low, because we are sending so much
Of II away. There Is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal Intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life aud Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
chants, or any thing else, here sYHai to those in
other States. Il Is an axiom that in all kinds
Of business danger, difficulty and loss increases
in ratio Of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that il IS safer and better IN both Life
aud Fire to be insured at home. IL is a poor
compliment to oarCitizens and State. and in
bad taste TO depreciaie our own Institutions
and indirectly dcpreeiats those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity, the
people are beginning to see this. Oar last
January report TO the Comptroller Of the
state was so satisfactory and gratifying as to

THE OLD HOMES.
One Of the best things yet published
BY the New York Farmers Club is a
communication from a citizen of Iowa,
who, after many years Of residence in
the most desirable portions Of the great
West, gives his Judgment as to the
place to live and farm in. We wish il
could be read BY every young man east
Of the mountains. While we are deyi.
sing diligently the means Of bringing
within our borders foreign popula
ton, we lose far too many Of our own
people, who, in the very prime and Wig
or Of life, betake themselves to distant
States under the false impression that
there are quicker aud better ways there
to fortune, and to what is called success
in life. This writer tells plain tale,
and while giving his own experience,
gives also, We do not doubt, thousands
of others like him.
He was born in Delaware, and at
nineteen years Of age emigrated to the
State OF Ohio. Later, he went further
west. He went into Minnesota, and
thence into Wisconsin, where he farm
ed dozen years. BY this time, he
says, he began to consider what he had
made BY these changes. To be sure
he had large crops 10 Wisconsin, bu.
he learned that +" mau cannot live by
bread alone" aud he sighed for the
flesh pots Of Egypt. He began to re.
fleet how near he had once lived to
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York
and that to consider what grain he had
to sell then coull 90 to market for five
to seven cents bushel, while in Wis
consin he must pay 2S cents to get it
to Milwaukee, and then about 40 to
New York.
But this was not all he had left also
the peaches, apples, pears, cherries, &c,
with the fnny tribes--the much loved
and longed for oysters, yea, and all the
privileges Of the Atlantic coast From
Wisconsin he goes into middle Iowa,
and after three years there, he says
This is good country; | think much
better than northern Wisconsin. |
think Iowa is as good rs any other Of
the Western States. ] have no fault to
find with the State or climate but do
not like TO work so hard as do to build
up this railroad aud warehouse monopoly
Ii was where | was once | should be
clear Of them, and ! do believe that
that neck of land lying between the Del
aware and the Chesapeake bays is Just
as good country as there is on this
American continent. / should re.
commend every industrious young man
that has the privilege Of staying on
the homestead 10 stay there, or If he
eau get hold ofone of those old worn out
Maryland or Virginia farms, to take it
10 preference to any Of those prairie
farms would rather build up one Of
those old Atlantic farms than make a
new one two thousand miles from the
coast. Don't be afraid Of the poor
land lime and clover will make it
produce just as much corn and wheat
as any land in the Mississippi Valley.
/ say so from experience.
We have said the same thing very
often without experience, aud we heart
lily wish our enterprising young men
would learn without that costly teacher
that there are 20 better homes to be
found than the "old homes" of Mary
land and Virginia.

that he invariably locks his stable when
