nature appears fair and beautiful,
almost q Paradise on Earth.

How TO ENJOY LIFE.-It is won
derful to what an extent people believe
happiness depends on not being
obliged to labor. Honest hearty, con-
tended labor is the only source of
happiness, aswell as the only guarantee
of life. Idleness and luxury induce
premature decay much faster than
many trades regarded as the most ex-
haustive and fatal to longevity. La
bor in general actually increases the
term of life. It is the lack of occu-
patton that annually destroys so many
of the wealthy, who, having nothing
to do, play the part Of drones, and,
like them. make a speedy exit, while
the busy bee fills out its day in use
fulness and honor.

Sister Minnie.

"Oh ! I am so unhappy" ex-
claimed little Hettie one day to
her mother; II cannot sleep at
night, thinking how unkind I
was to sister Minnie when living,
and now shs is dead I cannot ask
her forgiveness" and the child
covered her face with her hands,
sobbed as if her heart would
break, and ADDED II was often
angry and spoke Grossly to her,
and she was always so kind to me"
"What did you do to your sister
that grieves you so much ?" asked
Hettie's mother the little girl
replied, "We were one day in the
aower-garden, and you know,
mother, what beautiful flowers
bloomed on her beds, for she did
not permit weeds to grow near
them, and watched them with so
much care. That evening she
was bending over the Hyacinths
and | pushed her; she fell on one
and broke it, and I ran off laugh
ing" "What did your sister do
or say, my child ?" "She said
nothing, but she cried and walked
among the flowers and shrubbery,
as if sho wanted no one to see
her." "You were very wicked
and rude," answered Hettie's mo-
ther;"I am not surprised that
your conscience does not permit
you to sleep at night. Did you

her that I was" "My dear child,
if lyon had acknowledged to your
sister that you had wronged her,
you would have been spared much
pain and notification" II want
ed to ask her to forgive me when
she was sick, but she was too
weak to talk. Mother, she often
talked about angels-said she
wanted to be one, then she would
sing beautiful hymns and play on

ther, want to go where Minnie
is" my child, your sister is
now an angel in Heaven. If my
daughter will ask God to change
her heart, and correct the faults
of her disposition, He will answer
her prayer, and in his appointed
time will transplant her from
earth to that beautiful region,
there you will meet your lament
ed sister, who perhaps will be first
to welcome you to that land of
bliss" These little girls were
members Of the Sabbath School !;
already had the instructive les
sons taken effect, for Minnie was
q flower unfaded, yet prepared to
die. Hettie followed her mothers
advice; her prayers were certain
ly answered. She became an ami
able and pious girl, very much
loved by her friends, but was ever
afterwards sad. Every evening
she would walk to her sisters
grave and hang q wreath Of flow
ers over the tomb, as a token OF
her affection. Dear little friends,
always be kind to your sisters
and brothers and companions
you will be so much happier, and
if they are suddenly removed, you
will not be left to sad reflections.

DIDN'T LIKE MUTToN.-A good
story is told of the recent excellent
performance of Handeps Messiah at
the Broadway Baptist church. A
farmer took his wife to hear the grand
music, so splendidly rendered on that
occasion, and, after listening with ap-
parent enjoyment, the pair became
suddenly interested in one of the
grand choruses "We all, like sheep,
have gone astray." First a sharp
soprano voice exclaimed:
''We all, like Sheep
Next, a deep bass voice uttered, IN
the most earnest tones:
We all, like sheep
Then all the singers at once assert
ed:
"We all like sheep"
"Darned if [ do ~ exclaimed old
rusticus to his partner. Il like beef
and bacon, but I can't bear sheep
meat !"
There was an audible litter in that
immediate vicinity but the splendid
music attracted attention from the
pair, and they quietly slipped out.

Home.

There is no word in the En-
glish vocabulary that is more mu-
slcal, or soul-stirring, than the
word Home. There are few, l
imagine, who have not expert
enced its effect, though it is rela-
ted Of the author Of the beautiful
poem, "Home, Sweet Home" that
he never had a home, and often
times, as he passed the magnif-
cent abodes of the afluent, and
heard the inmates chanting his
song, he had not where torepose his
head, nor a penny to purchase
the next meal. We frequently
see a splendid mansion, furnished
in the most elegant style. Ma
ture and art are almost exhausted
in endeavoriug to beautify it, that
it may render to the possessor's
happiness !; but it fails to perform
it's office if love is wanting. II
does not deserve the name OF
home if the heart is not there
The inmates merely abide in q
place of magnificent misery. II
would be mocking to apply the
epithet OF Home. Have you not
seen the rough soldier, or sailor
who apparently had lost all ten
derness, or affection, weep over 8

READING SPEcTAcLEs.-An Irish
man, seeing persons reading with
spectacles, went to buy q pair to
enable himself to read. He tried
several pairs, and told the shop:
man he could not read with any of
them.
"can you read at all?" asked
the shopman.
No." was hereply; "if I could,
do you think l would be such a
goose as to buy spectacles?"

cAy4DA, AND OUR c0MHERcIAL ROUTES.

CANADA, AND OUR CONHERCL4L ROUTES.
Facts are not only sometimes stranger
than fiction, but they are always stronger
than fiction, and it is about time the spread
eagle fiction that Canada has more need of
us, than we of her, were exploded. This
absurd notion originated in the days when
no land north Of Illinois, and Iowa, was
thought to possess any agricultural value.
If the premises were true, the conclusion
would have been Just that the United States
were altogether independent Of the friend
ship, or assistance, of Canada. But a new
face is put upon matters by the discovery
in later years, that the broad belt along our
northwestern border is the richest Of the
whole land in agricultural capacity, n rniss-
ing wealth, in timber supply, in manulac-
turing resources, in the live stock and dali
ry interest, and in al that can attract capi-
tai, and immigration, and build up a com
mercial empire.
The natural water outlet of this region is
the St. Lawrence river. The natural outlet
by land would be q railway along the south
shore of Lake Superior, running in prac-
teal air line to Portland, lie. But here we
are met by the unwelcome fact that both
these routes lie through foreign territory.
a glance at the map win show that the
State Of Maine, and . goodIy portion OF
New England in general, as well as Of New
York, lie in the latitude Of tire great fertile
belt Of the west. Yet Canada projects It
self across their best line Of commercial
transit, and nearly to their southern border,
in the shape Of an irregular wedge, or in
yerted pyramid, whose base is about 7o0
miles long, and whose perpendicular is be-
tween 400 and 800 miles deep Since the
beginning of the Northwestern develop
ment, Portland, Boston, and New York, are
all seeking connections with the St Law
renee at Ogdensburg, aud with The Cana
dian Pacific at Montreal, thus plainly show
ing how important is the maintaining of
close and amicable relations with country
reaching SO far into the hear, OF our best
territory.

Mr.. Chester Williams Of Cazenoyia, II.
l., formerly resident Of this place, gives
what seems to be excellent directions for
cultjvating such vegetables as cucumbers,
squashes, melons, &C., viz: Take q large
size flower pot, or a quart tin pail; sink
it in mellow earth level with the surface,
then pack the dirt tightly around it, then
draw out the vessel and fill the hole in the
ground, with good rich soil to within four
inches of the top. Upon this soil drop the
seeds, and place above them one inch more
Of earth, which viii be three inches below
the top Of the hole. Now cover with light
Of glass laid over the cavity, and the gen
erous forces Of nature will do tie rest.
Mr.. Williams also calls our attention to
a new kind OF corn Of which lie thinks one
crop year ought to mature in this latitude,
inasmuch as it is said that two crops of it
will ripen in one year at the South. It has
from 10 to IS ears on a stalk, and weighs
more than ordinary corn. We learn that

TRUE-wHAT 0ST0NAGON KNOWS ABOUT HE9IAooR-
ARISE AND BULB
The new and great industry Of the North
west promises TO be the manufacture Of the
extract Of hemlock for tanning purposes.
Patent rights are concerned i'll the matter,
yet If half the statements made by the Mid
land Times and other papers, are true, it
will give a wonderful impulse to the devel-
opment Of the Lake Superior region, as our
vast hemlock supply will prove more vaIu-
able than pine, and even its green leaves be
turned to green backs, by the new process.
We notice that the well known firm of
Willard g Mercer advertise in the Onton-
aeon Miner for two thousand cords of hem
lock bark, in large, or small quantities, to
be delivered at the village Of Outonagon
before the lst Of July. And as the same
paper copies six column article on the
new process Of preparing hemock extract,
ana calls attention to the whole matter,
editoriajIv, we opine tIat there is something
in it. Messrs. willard g Mercer are not
the men to ask Tor 2o00 cords Of hen1ock
bark (which is enough TO pat a threo mile
fence Of that material, at cord width and
height, around ;he village Of Ontonagon)
without knowing that the investment is q
judicious one.
johnson 8 GoodeI of \. Z. are the pat
entees Of the new process Of manufacturing
the extract, and are now said to he found
at the International Hotel, Mt Midland
Mich We are advertising the gentlemen
for nothing in hopes that some Of our enter
prlslng property owners VIII hud tiIv
facts in reference to the value of the new
process, and if satisfied, as they probably
will be, start an extensive manufactory Of
The hemIock extract in this place. Indeed,
our own citizens might look into the matter,
and after satisfying themselves Of what we
believe to be the truth in the case, combine
sufficient capital to give US an Extract fac
tory at once.
We may notice the whole affair more at
length next week, but will only say now
that $1,000 will put up an Extract Factory
of capacity of 20 barrels a day, which will
yield a net profit Of 500 per day! The
daily running expenses, including cost of
bark, wages of seven men, incidentals, roy
aItjes, and repairs, are about $3.50, so that
a profit Of 100 per cent on actual expenses
IS realized. The demand for the Extract is
unlimited and endless. The supply ofhem-
lock bark, and leaves, in Wisconsin is
abundant, and we hope that our citizens
viii soon have Factory in full operation
