THE BLESSINGS OF PovERTY.-If
there is anything in the world that
Young man should be more grateful
for than another, it is the poverty
which necessitates starting life under
very great Disadvantages Poverty
is one of the best tests of human quail
ity il existence. A triumph over it
is like graduating with honor from
West point: 1t demonstrates stuff and
stamina. 1t is a certificate of worthy
labor faithfully performed. Ayoung
man who cannot stand this test is
not good for anything. He can nev-
er rise above a drudge or a pauper.
A young man who cannot feel bis
will harden as the yoke Of poverty
presses upon him, and his pluck rise
with every difficulty that poverty
throws in bis way, may as well retire
into some corner, and hide himself
Poverty saves thousand times more
than it ruins, for it only ruins those
who are not particularly worth saw
ing, while it saves multitudes Of those
whom wealth would have ruined.

GIRLS, beware Of transient young
men: never suffer the addresses of
stranger, of whose antecedents you
know nothing; recollect that one
steady farmer boy or mechanic is
worth all the floating trash in the
world. The allurements of dandy
jack with his gold buttons and chain,
a walking stick in his paw, some hon.
est tailor's coat on his back. and per-
haps . br.inlsss skull, can never make
up the loss Of a fathers house and a
good mothers counsel, and the society
of brothers and sisters their affec
tons last, while those of such a young
man are lost in the wane of the hon
ey-moon. IT'S true.

On the authority of the Department
of Agriculture, it is stated that the
AMOUNT of muscular force in the coun-
tIy available for agricultural labor is
relatively, if not actually diminished,
and that the ratio of labor to the
work expected is smaller than former
". Yearly, muscular labor becomes
a more costly element of production
but is in great measure replaced by a
cheaper mechanical force, which les
sens the amount of muscular, and in
creases that of thought and attention
required, by which agricultural labor
is elevated in dignity. So speculates
the report.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "PATRIOT."-
Father and son were once discussing
Tin bloody earnest) the true pronunci-
alton of the word "patriot." The son
held that it was patriots, while the
old gentleman insisted that it was
patriots. During the heat of the de-
bate, Taylor made bis appearance, and
thereupon the son proposed submit.
ting it to Taylor whereupon Taylor
decided with tie son, to substantiate
bis word, which was agreed to by all
concerned, and gave his version as
follows: "YoL know that the MAORI
ty of the Irish people are called "Pat,"
and you know, also, that the Irish
people revolutionized their country
once in while on an extensive scale
These revolutions in the course o.
time dwindled down to riots-hence
riots carried on by Pats were termed
patriots, hence the origin Of the word.
The old man caved.

THE overflow is fast disappearing
from our town and parish. Horses,
cows, and hogs, from adjacent ridges
are coming in-some look badly, while
others appear to have improved.
Some cattle remained in town during
all the high water, and lived through
it without being fed. We notice that
some, however, when down, needed
assistance to get up. One week
hence they will be able to feast and
grow fat upon the rich cainy bottoms
that have so long been covered with
water.

Now that the water is going down
so rapidly, it is to be hoped that peo-
pie generally will turn their attention
to work instead of rations. We are
Rratified to anno,. nco that no citizen
of our town has asked for rations,
except one colored family, being en-
gagged in planting and entitled to the
same. That these rations have &C
complished some good. no one denies,
but compared with evil, in encourage
ing luziuess. We are unprepared to

"TRY" is a great word, though it
musters only three letters. 1t is the
story of every achievement, from great
to small, that the world has ever seen.
The presence or absence of its spirit is
the mark which distinguishes the DIFF
ference in men. The lad or young
man who says be will try, and means
it, is the one who by and by will sue
coed. The head on bis shoulders is
the go-a-head, the kind which all good
folks admire, and which is a credit
and profit to itself
