SPRING.

After n winter of unusual severity, that
brought dismay and suffering TO thou5
sands the glad advent Of spring bursts
Upon us with all its vernal beautics.A
The birds carol cheerfly as they twitter
and shake their plnmage upon the sway
ing sprays. The musical ril.s loosed
from the icy Businesses Of winter trickle
silently over the greening sward. The
fragrant blossoms load the air with a
fruitful promise, and the generous sod
upturns its bosom for the grain. A sweet
peace prevails in the pure blue above,
aud the budding of earth. An earnest
of better things nerves the bronzed hand
to grasp the neglected plow, as the beam
ing eye looks forward to 4 hopeful future.
A peace that reconciles man to the stern
decree and mitigates the fiat "in the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread" with
the sure promise "the substance OF the
diligent man is precious" and she that
gathercth by labor shall increase" A
peace that lifts the husbandman above
the petty jealousies, tricks, and rivalries
of city life, and trains his meditations up
ward to that source which speaks Peace
in natures unjarring creation. A peace
that dcfies the discord of pas ion, and
echoes the refrain of il song. of thrift and
JOY. Rosy health, and contcn ment 60
hand in hand with diligence aud virtue
And man realizing that abor is enobllng
casts aside the sordid aspirations of lite
as he cons his Thanksgiving for many
blessings and repeats hourly, %
"Thou Sun, thou grand, fair light,
And thou enlightened earth, SO fresh, 40 gay.
Ye hills and dales; ye rivers, woods and
plains
And yc that live. and move, fair creatures tell,
Tell if ye saw, how came we thus, how here"

TO control labor 60 the advantage Of
the employer, and to the contentmcnt of
The laborer, is fast .becoming-c. serious
question. The system Of, heavy planting,
and light mannring is sconfined now, only
where sheer ignorance prevails, and where
men run in old grooves Of habits that
scarcely reward The work expended upon
the land For the first two years after
the war, the share plan was adopted, one
third going to the laborcr, and two thirds
TO the employer The difficulty of OBJ
timing efficient help obliged the farmer
to conccde one half, this gave the laborcr
a decided advantage, and finding him
self in funds at the end of the year he
began to look about for parcel of land,
and "A mule, to farm upon his own
account, and the result is that every
lab-rer who has been Mt all industrious
commences this year on an Independent
footing, leaving the farmer to do as he
best can, with indifferent help, or relying
upon his own resources. The result is
that thousands upon thousands Of acres
are unemployed, and only the best lands
are under culture. The scarcity of labor
will grow with tho increasing desire of
the laborer to settle himself upon his
own footing, and q few years will pro-

country cut up into small farms, and set

various views offered to induce settlers to
come among us, have failed TO procure
any response, for the plain reason that
they do not offer sufficient, advantages to
the Immigrant. Our people must count
the cost between heavy taxes, wear and
'tear Offences, and small returns for lack
ofhclp, and the sure result of n vast en-
hanceititnt Of value TO lands which will
be in demand, by locating an intelligent
body Of settlers upon tracts, which should
be, given in feesimplc to all earnest immi-
grants. Men ofmcans desiring to invest
will Of course select improved and set
tied farms, so that no benefit can be ex-
pcctc1 from such settlers. The poor

fortune beyond Il strong arm, must have

Myers Fork, near Petroleum, w.

Brother Powell was born in Harrison (now

consequently his age at his death was 81 years,
4 months and u days. Bro. Powell was
member Of the Baptist Church for 80 years.
He died in a full assurance Of a blessed i'm
mortality, and our loss is his eternal gain.
About week before his death, he went into
the family cemetery and selected the spot
where his form now rcposes. He also select
ed the text from which his funeral sermon was
to be preached, which is recorded in Cor. v, /.

very little of the conditions Of comfort
in houses. The question Of health
may be left to the care Of physicians.
and that Of beauty to the architect,
but one would suppose that on matters
Of comfort each one would look out for
himself. There is excuse for this neg
lect in business men, who are hardly
at home long enough to know whether
a house is tenable or not; but it is
strange that women will endure damp,
foul odors, smoke, and dust year after
year without trying to remove the
nuisances. The only idea most wo-
men have OF suppressing any evil Of
the sort is to ''send for man to fix it."
Workmen are not always TO be had,
and, if they are, they cost money, and a
breach OF comfort may last years be-
fore every thing comes together for its
mending. A woman needs both mus
Gle and management to take care of a
family, unless she can afford to pay a
third Of her income for these things in
others. The clever woman is an act
ual acquaintance, who goes about her
house, spying loose knob here and
screwing it up, springing with her light
plane 10 smooth down a door that
sticks in the casing, fitting a neat strip
to prevent windows rafting, besides
papering, painting, and vanishing
with more nicely than one mechanic
out OF a dozen. Such a woman is
worthy to be called a house-mother,
after the good German word. How
can a woman live year after year
within four walls and not grow fond
of them, and seek to add to their COM
