ANISGUIDED BOOK AGENT.

A book agent entered the open door
of snug Pittsfeld cottage one day
last week, and nodding to a trim,
bright looking little woman who sat
sewing by the window, commenced
volubly to descant on the merits of
a great work which he was for the
first time giving mankind an opportu
nifty to purchase. 1t was universal
biography, cookbook, dictionary, fam
lily physician, shorthand instructor,
and contained, besides, detailed. his
tory Of every important event that HAS
transpired in the world, from the ap-
pie incident and Adams fall to Credit
Mobilier and the fall of Congress.
The work contained five thousand
chapters, all with running titles. The
agent, after talking on the general ex-
cellences of the volume about five
minutes, commenced on the headings
of those chapters, and as the woman
did not speak to interrupt him, he
felt that he was making conquest,
and he ratified away so that she
shouldn't have a chance to say no. 1t
took him nearly an hour, and as he
breathlessly went on, the sweat start
ed on his forhead, and he made con-
vulsive grasps at his collar, and when
he finished he had hardly strength
enough left to put on a bewitching
smile and hand her his ready pen
wherewth to subscribe her name to
the order book. She took the pen,
but instead of putting her autograph
on his list, she lifted a scrap of paper
from her work box, and wrote in plain
letters, "Ime defe and dun" He said
not a word, but the unutterable things
that he looked, as he turned to the
door, would fill library.

On Saturday an old lady, accom-
panied by a tall, gawky-looking girl
of sixteen, evidently her daughter, en-
tered store in Titusville and asked
to see some calico. Selecting one OF
the pieces thrown down to her, she
pulled it this way and that, as if
she would tear it to pieces; held it up
to the light in various positions, and
spit on a corner and rubbed it between
her fingers to try if the colors were
good. Then she stood still awhile
evidently she wasn't satisfied. Sud
denly she seized the clerks scissors,
and cutting off a piece handed it to
her daughter, remarking, Here, Liza

NINE HUNDRED MILES ON FOOT.
BY PROF. ]. d. BUTLER.
LINCOLN, Nebraska, /

LINCOLN, Nebraska, 1873.
Nils Nysten is a Swede,-and was
born where his forefathers had been
content with "only this and nothing
more"
"To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot"
He aspired higher = but so low was
his birth, and so strong the barriers
around him, that he wass three-soore
yeals old before he could work his
passage to America. Three years ago
he reached Iowa, with his wife, and
penniless, stopping first in Mount
Pleasant.
While working there at his trade of
wagon making, he became convinced
that his best means of further
advancement, was to secure Nebras-
ka Homestead. His mode of making
this boon his own, is worth telling TO
encourage the others.
HOW HE DID IT?
He walked from his home to Lin
coin, 307 miles along the track Of the
Burlington e. Missouri River Rail
road. This journey he accomplished
in about fifteen days. At Lincoln he
found shelter in the Immigrants Rest,
building provided by the b. & M
railroad where land hunters may lodge
and live without charge while seeking
farms.
Looking at the maps of public lands
in the United States Land Office there
he judged York county to afford the
most desirable homsteads. Ho there
fore walked on thither-seventy miles
further. Having picked out the farm
which suited him best Of all those still
vacant he returned to the land Office
and filed his claim to it, September
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1873-07-30
WHAT THEN I?


WHAT THEN?
Repairing again to the farm of his
choice he made sundry improvements
for a month. He finished him a dug
out and stacked twelve tons of wild
hay.
His purse was now empty, save one
dollar and half, but he walked to
Lincoln, and thence home as he walk
ed thither, daily laying behind him
twenty miles.
Soon after reaching home, at the
end of nine hundred mile walk, he
learned that his hay stacks had been
burned by a prairie fire--having no
plow, he had been unable to make
fre-break around them. But through
out all, he seems to have lost nothing
of heart or hope, and to have remain
ed as jolly as Mark Tapley, in Chuz-
zlewit.
Through the winter he worked at
his trade sometimes beginning his tolls
at two o'clock in the morning. Thus
he finished three good wagons.
Two he traded of, each for a mule
and harness. Then putting on board
his wife, barrel of pork, harrow.
all of wood, made by himself, and
some needments, he drove westward,
| by the same route which he had the
last fall travelled on foot.
He took with him three other Scan =
dinavian Homestead hunters, each
with a wagon and his family in it.
He arrived at Lincoln in due time /;
rested little among the old familiar
hospitalities for strangers, afforded
gratuitously by the B. IL M. railroad,
through the whole-souled keeper John
Frost, and on the 21st of March 1872,
in spite of an equinoctial wind, set his
face towards his homestead. His jour
ney thither can hardly require more
than three days,-but, as he must
needs be there before the first day of
April, or be egregiously April fooled,
by forfeiting his farm, he resolved to
make assurance doubly sure. Hence
he took time by the forelock.
Nils Nysten is sixty-two years old
though he declares himself only forty
when just shaved. His example shows
what others can do. 1t shames many
faint hearts that are weeping like
women for lack of farm, which they
have the privilege of seizing, like men,
had they only manly pluck.
Nils Nysten's homestead was one of
12,304 which had been entered in the
Lincoln United States Land Office, be.
fore last New Years. Up to the same
date the Burlington and Missouri Riv.
er railroad, along which Nysten walk.
ed, had sold along their track 47S, ,98S
acres, to 1925 purchasers, on ten years
credit, six per cent. interest, and on
sales made since 1872 nothing of the
principal falls due until the end Of
the fourth year, with twenty per cent
thrown off for prompt Improvement.
He who cannot on these terms make O
farm pay for itself, does not deserve
one.

The defeat Of the British government in the
Greenwich election seems to have been under
rated on this side OF the water. According to
leading English papers it is one of the most i'm
portant events Of the year in connection with
English politics The London Times declared,
the day after the election, that it was clear the
government was discredited throughout Eng
land The Pail Nall Gazette says that Mr.
Gladstone "remains in Office, though not in
power" Since then his cabinet has been torn
to pieces by internal dissensions, and it would
appear that Its hold upon power Is exceedingly
precarious. Mr.. Gladstone, however proposes
to 60 before the country on . new measurable
extension Of the franchise to the agricultural
lsborers-and this may enable him to gain new
strength and q renewed lease of Office
