THE GREAT WEST.



Few movements of the present age better

Ipcoplcing OF the western portion of our con

You'd the Mississippi river.
Step by step the course OF settlement adj

siderable time this river seemed a barrier 10

however, crossed from time to time; some to
remain Others to return and tell their stories,
too large almost for comprehension or belief
To most of MS, all beyond was then will
dcrncss, the Great American Desert but
now it proves to he "thc Garden OF the Ncst'
which literally blossoms like the rose
The census returns Of the United States
prove that there were never in the history of
the world such marvcls of rise and progress
as in some of the recent towns and cities of
this region, which has grown up, almost like
that magic city of the Arabian story.
Vast cXpanscs of land, for centuries the
hunting grounds of Indians and the home of
| the buffalo, have been in Il few months
brought under the dominion of civilization
and made available for the benefit of the en-
| tire human race.
And how mas this come to pass? Those
wonderful men, editors, reporters, travellers,
and newspaper correspondents, who see and
hear of everything, who make note of things
and print them, too have filled the land with
pleasing narratives of the West in all its nat
ural greatness.
| First of all, its agricultural attractions are
prominent, and thoughtful farmers at the East,

4 Problem for Women.

Jean lngclOw has written a letter to Lucy
Stone Blackwell, in which she remarks that
to her thought, one of the problems, on which
depends to IL great degree the welfare of wo.
men, is to discover how domestic work is to
be combined with high culture. 1t will be
discovered that Miss Ingelow evidently re-
CARDS the sphere of women as a domestic one
AS a home one; and instead of inquiring
how she may be lifted out of it, she aims to
discover how she may become the happiest
and most useful in it. And Miss Ingelow's
question itself lets in great deal of light on
the subject of household labor and household
discOmtorts. Domestic work" is never done
bv skilled hands. The seamstrcss, the tailor,
the bootmaker the milliner, the 'shirt-maker,
all pass through a probationary course of
preparation before they enter on the particu.
lar work in which they expect to engage, and
a pretender or imposter who would attempt
to practice either of the foregoing trades or
many not mentioned, would at once be de
tected and pay the penalty for such imposi-
ton by loss of patronage. The knowledge
household servants have Of the work required
of them, is knowledge picked up here and
there as chance may direct Many servants,
in fact the majority of foreign born or colored
servants, can neither read nor write, and cook
books and other aids to healthy, economical
and tasteful housekeeping are sealed books to
them. Ii is u fact that a woman who cannot
read may keep well-scOurcd floors, or snowy
table cloths, may bake good bread and palat-
liable loaves of cake, but the capacity to join
Iall the different parts of housekeeping to-

GEMS OF WISDOM.

Strive to love and seek after that
which can never be sufficiently loved
and sought.
Do not dread possible worldly tri.
ais; perhaps they will never come,
and if they do, God will strengthen
you.
GRATITUDE does not depend on
the amount of mercies received, but
on the amount of mercies known and
priced.
WHEN we record our angry feel
ings, let it he in snow, that the first
beam of sunshine may obliterate them
forever.
To be amended by little cross,
afraid of little sin, and affected by
little mercy, is a good evidence Of
grace in the soul.
THE very heart and root of sin is
an independent spirit. We erect the
idol self; and not only wish others to
worship, but worship it ourselves.
In order 10 read the Bible with
profit, we must begin by denying our.
selves every step of the way; for
every step of the way it will be found
to oppose our corrupt nature.
For we care not to be safe, but to
be secure not to escape hell, but to
live pleasantly. We are not solicit
Gus of the event, but of the way
thither, and it is sufficient if we be
persuaded all is well.
Moses rod was a serpent till he
took it by the tail, and then it be.
came what it was before; and if we
lay hold of things only by their end,
we should find many things that seem
terrible and noxious to be benign and
salutiferous.
If you would win true rest and
peace, this must, above all else, be
cured; we must strive to give you
that Depreciation of eternity which,
once grasped, makes the trials of
this brief life matter of almost total
Indifference.
INDEED, my dear child, we are
much too sensitive, and too ready TO
apply the word poverty to condition
i'll which we are not suffering either
from cold or hunger, or ignominy,
but only from some little discomfort;
or it may be some hindrance or re.
striction as to our tastes.
LET the mantle of worldly enjoy.
ment hang loose about you that it
may be safely dropped when death
comes to carry You into another
world. When the fruit is ripe 1t falls
off the tree easily. So when a
Christians heart is truly weaned from
the world, he is prepared for death.
A heart disengaged from the world
is heavenly one, and then we are
ready for heaven when our heart is
there before us.

An Amusing Indian Story.

The distance between my post and
Santa Fe was over 800 miles, and to
facilitate matters was ordered to sur
vey new and short route, cutting off
about seventy miles. A company
numbering eighty men was detailed
for the purpose, and as the course lay
partly through wooded region, a
considerable squad was required to
act as axemen. Three or four black
andtan terriers accompanied the CON-
mand, affording no little amusement,
by their activity in snapping up I'M
wary gophers, rats, mice, and other
yermin. The aborigines who frequent
ly honorsd us with their presence,
claiming to be "good Indian, me-"
were excessively pleased at those per-
formances. On a certain occasion
one stalwart fellow, who spoke few
words of English, said to me:
"Nantanh, heap good dog"
eyes," / replied, they are good
dogs"
"Cut 'um ear, cut 'um tail, make
'um good dog?"
"Certainly; it is because their ears
and tails are trimmed that they get
around so lively"
"Aough! Me got good dog; cut 'um
tail?"
"Yes; bring your dog; I'll have
him fixed for YOU"
Next day, my Navajo friend ap-
peared with a small, black, Indian
dog, sporting long tail, and ears to
correspond. Unrolling this quadruped
from his blanket, he signlfied desire
to have the job done without delay;
so called two men, and babe one hold
the dog while the other locked his
tail with an axe. This did not suit
Redskin, who refused to trust his ia
yorite to the tender mercies of a say.
age white man, and preferred to per
form the operation himself there
fore ordered one of the men to hold
the dogs tail over convenient log,
while the other held his head and fore
paws. All being ready, the Indian
seized an axe, but instead of using it
as any other person would have done
he swung the blade high above his
head with both hands, as if the OBJ.
ject to be separated required his
whole strength. Just then the soldier
who held the tail gave 1t a sudden
pull, while the one at the head gave
corresponding push. Down came
the keen weapon, dividing the un-
fortunate "purp" just forward of the
headquarters, TO the infinite disgust
of the Indian, who picked up the dis
jointed halves, threw his blanket over
his shoulders with indescribable Dig
nifty, and exclaimed in cultural ac-
cents, "Uhgh! - Cut um too
short"

doubtful Secret political societies
must go down before the popular
tornado which will in the end sweep
over the land, carrying with it the
united power of the patriot, the low
er of tair play, the hater of dark
ways, and the Christian. The DEM
agogue, the political assassin and
the enemy of equal and exact justice,
will have reason to call on the rocks
and mountains to hide them from
the fury OF an outraged and right.
eously indignant people.
The impntation of extra fear to
the supporters of the present Admin.
istration, and the assertion that Re.
pnblicans more than Democrats are
'llnked with moneyed corporations, /"
is silly partisarism, to which no in.
telligcnt journal would stoop. The
Republican party stands quite as
good chance to absorb and control
the oranges as the Democrats do.
The sympathies of the great majority
OF the members oranges are with the
Republicans. There are the best of
reasons for this. The Republican
party sthe parent of the Homestead
law, and the only party that has
ever sought directly to advance the
interests of the farmers. Its Jour.
nails, more than the democratic, ad-
vocate the contrcl.of railroad and
other corporations by judicious State
and national legislation. If it comes
to choice betweea the two parties,
both sympathy and policy dictate
that the oranges should go with the
one that has always been friendly to
the farmers and is in position to
effect the required reforms.
As to moneyed corporations, the
capital of Republican and Democrat
are equally involved in them. If
the Republicans have a preponderat-
ing interest, it is simply because
their juster administration and
seunder principles have drawn in
telligept men into their ranks. But
when it comes TO using r,oneyed
corporations for political purposes,
the Democratic leaders decidedly
bear away the palm. We need only
refer, for illustration of this fact, to
the use which they have made, in
this State, OF the Central and Erie
Railroads. Nothing more Infamous
and corrupt can be found recorded
in history.
