It ia ooraoling to know that, with tho advent
Of spring, tho whole tono OF tho rural popula-
tion is changed, We now hour little complaint
in regard to monopolios and tho schemes OF mid
dlemen. In short, Without knowing it. we hnye
settled down to tho old routine OF business
buying aew1pg-machlnes Of the agents On
long time az tho old pricoa; filling
our wagons with implements made by that
obnoxious plowring; taking ou1 eggs, chickens,
spare hams, potatoes, onions, and parsnips to
tho grocer, to exchange for goods; and doing as
We did yoara ago. There appears to be
complncenoy in this, for 1t came Of
loug habit aud education. Then, again,
corn Ia worth GO cents, leaving margin
OF profit Of not loss than 100 por cent
on the coat Of production. I1uo, the excoss OF
the rainfall Ia in tho way OF planting; but re
have meadow-land and pasturo-land, moro OF
loas that we can put tho team at turning over;
and then it is favorable for tree planting, and
the cold weather Keeps back the truit-bloesonle,
which will all tho moro cor
tain1y guard the frult-crop against
frost. With those pleasant surroundings why
should we not DO pleased? I nood not hint that
wo nre to hava ali tho offices, as that appears to
follow as matter Of course, for We havo needed
up to tho worlds lowell Don't DO surprised il
't1Tho EARN and Gardon " should some day como
up nlisAiug when The TRIBUNE wont to press,
and 1t should turn up 9 Member Of Congress.
In short what with tho prospect Of good cropB,
dussrious, and reasonably happy
