Nay Old Home.
BY MRS. l. L. THOMAS,

Down in a quiet valley,
Close sheltered by the hills,
Where hosts Of feathered songsters
Sport by the gentle rills,
And battle within their waters,
That flash and sparkle there
My old home-still love it,
To me It's always fair.
Attic afar I've wandered
And many friends I've found,
Another home have builded,
Where love and JOY abound,
! still am ever casting
A longing glance behind
Toward the dear old homestead
lis constantly in mind.
! ] played there in my childhood,
Or sat beneath the shade,
To con my school-day lessons,
A happy little maid,
And even when | sorrowed
! knew a place to hide
A fairy nook secluded
From every one beside.
Dos't wonder that It's sacred
That dear old home Of miuel
! knew each oak aud loved il,
| trained the clustring vine;
care not if in scornlng
You pass my humble lines.
To me no greater treasures
Are found in golden mines.

way to get it as by your valuable papers,

that shall not loose any news.
Now, gentlemen, perhaps you would
like to hear from thls part Of the world,
1t is warm weather here now; the
thermometer stands at 90 iu the shade.
We need rain here very mach; crops
are looking finely; corn is big enough
TO work; grass is up so that cattle are
doing finely.
AS to the grasshoppers, there are
none right around here; there are some
young ones on the Platte river about
six or seven miles from here.
This country is settling up good
deal; you can look around and see sew
eral breaking teams at work; it is not
so much work to break here as in
Pierce county; they use three horses,
generally, and they break as much as
l60 acres with one team in one season.
Here is hoping you will continue to
prosper.

ment that could in any manner aid in

see nothing practical in any scheme yet
presented. To gather up dead grass
hoppers by the bushel, by the cart.load,
or by the car load, is the hight Of non.
sense, aud to offer premium for any
such folly, is worse than nonsense. In
the first place the people have no money
with which to pay premiums; aud next
it is not the dead grasshoppers which
they desire to exterminate. And how
will you catch the live ones? If you
can burn them, or poison them, 60

from the poisonous gases arising from
a rotten field Of dead grasshoppers, is
absolutely certain. If life to you is
precious, save it by fleeing from a fate

than you Can resist the elements
