BOIL 1T Down.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty or grave or gay,
Condense as much As ever you can,
And say it the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs
Or of matters and things in town,
just take word of friendly advice
Boil IL down.
For il you go spiuttering over page
When y couple of lines would do,
Your butter is pfead so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
So, when you have q story TO tell
And would like little renown.
To make quite sure of your wish, my
friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just tIy
To settle your thoughts in the feWcsi
words
And let them be crisp and dry;
And when il is finished and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look IL over again and then
Boil il down.
For editors do not like TO print
An arti Gle laZily long,
And the general reader does not care
For couple of yards of song;
SO gather your wits in the smallest space,
If you want q little renown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil 1t down.

No larger or finer crops of wheat
have ever been produced in any
country during any session than
those now being harvested in the
Neosho, the Cottonwood and the
Arkansas Valleys, from Usage City
to Dodge, distance of two hun
dred and forty-seVen miles. And
when you have seen one of these
fields, you have seen them all, for
they are alike in their wonderful
Iuxuriance of golden grain. Nor
are the wheat fields alone in the
richness of their harvests. Rye
barley, fax, corn, potatoes, the
grasses-all are luxuriant with
promise, and will show as large
and as fine yields as q rich soil, sea-
eonable rains and genial sunshine
can produce. Hunger will neither
enter nor look in upon the homes OF
this land. The farmers are jubilant
and triumphant, and they thronged
to every station on the arrival OF
the train, bringing specimens OF
their products. at Emporia, Cot
tonwood, Florence, Peabody, New.
ton, Wichita, Hutchinson, Peace,
Great Bend, Larned, Kinsley and
Dodge City, Samples of wheat four
and five feet high, barley six and
eight feet, corn seven to nine feet
and fax, rye and other cereals OF
equally luxuriant growth, were
brought to the train and distributed
among the excursionists. Almosi
every one of the party carried
home with him some of these sam
pies. Two or three of them said tC
us: "If we did not take home
specimens of these cereals, it would
be difficult to convince the people
that such grain is grown or can bt
grown" Delighted and surprised
| they took their sheaves with them
and will exhibit along all the routes
leading eastward samples Of graiI
that cannot be excelled, if equalled
by any grown in any state OF thu
| Union.

E'AIIibIIiGy of Human .Iudg-
Hmena.

Unquestionably hundreds of vic
Tins have been hung for crimes of
which they were innocent, while of
notorious or distinguished charac-
tiers, ancient or modern, who have
gone to the highest possible tribu-
nal, the world is still believing scam
dalous falsehoods. All around us
are men living as best they can un-
der load of calumny-men who
are too proud to defeRd themselves
or who have defended themselves
in vain. There is an Imperative ne
cessity imposed upon us of making
the best of evidence; and when we
have made tho best of it, and are
obliged to act upon the conclusions
to which it has led us, we may yet
be mistaken. A mysterious Provi-
dence, for its own purposes, the
wisdom of which is not to be ques-
toned, sometimes permits an I'M
happy man to be the object of this
agOniZing discipline. A verdict has
been rendered against him, the &C
curacy of which not even the char
liable venture to question, for
though they treat him with kind
ness, they accept the record with a
pity for his infirmity. Again, it is
of the essence of scandal to be cred
ulous. The majority of men and
women do not lean to mercy's side,
but i'll the opposite direction. They
are not malicious, but they find that
way the easiest. They prefer that
twelve men in box should do theiI
thinking for them and so they cas-
lily acQuiesce in the finding or in
the weight of public opinion; and
so far as they believe at all, they be.
lieve the accused guilty if he has
been found guilty, though they dc
not always think him innocent even
when he has been found so. SNAP
judgments, too, as they have some
times been called, save the trouble
of thinking, to which many have al
insuperable objection; so that i
sometimes happens that one whC
has been discharged by the jury
!, with the full appreciation of TIT
judge, still goes suspected, and to ;
certain extent dishonored, with NJ
solace but that of 8 good conscience
and with hardly a friend except tn,
God who made him.
The lesson of this is, that we mus
school ourselves to submit to
measure OF Misrepresentation aut
l mendacity if, unhappily, they over
take us. 1t is of Importance to on
! comfort that we should not thinl
too much of what the ill-natured o
thescare!ess may think of us. Their

The imitation and Fepudiation
dose prescribed by the late Ohio
Democratic State Convention,
proves to be a little too strong.
There are hundreds and thousands

earlier Democrats generally, who
cannot stomach the new tangled

Don't Let Your child rattle,

Never listen 10 small unpleasant state
ments made by your child, If they relate 10
his fellows. Not that a child should ever be
made to feel that he has 10 sympathy In his
small troubles, but IL is just as easy, and
even easier, TO teach him a chivalric senti-
ment OF endurance while he is in the begin
ming OF his childhood, as IL is afterward. II
his companions be selfish and arrogant, show
him how disagreeable and despicable quail
ity IL is, and instruct him TO abnor it in him.
self Complaining is in itself mean-Spirit-
ed thing, and tattling is still worse, aud
child cannot too soon comprehend its base
ness. And here wise, strong and careful
distinction must be nude. While the child
is brought to feel the full sympathy of the
mother, and an entirely confiding habit is
encouraged about things that relate solely TO
himself the small faults of his fellows are
not subjects to be included in this conf
dence-they are TO remain forever unspoken
10 her or TO anybody, OF course, we do not
mean that knowledge of criminal conduct
in companion should not be shared with
the parents, bat even such relations should
be told In the most sacred trust aud secrecy,
as one would confess their own sins to their
Maker. The small petulances, trifing mis-
deeds, arrogant assumptions, demands for
the best positions when at play, greed for
rally rouse dissensions among small people,
just as they do among maturer ones. 1t is
the mothers duty to discover these unpleas-
ant habits in her child's companions; and
while not encouraging statement from him,
In regard TO them, she should not permit the
principles involved In them to pass without
IudhlLs llttu SUBJECTS OF uSeIul cOuNersd-
ton. But the names Of the children who are
involved In the talk about misdeeds should
never be spoken by the mother. The princi-
pies OF justice and honor are enough for a
proper amount of discussion and instruction.
To make the noble qualities OF manhood and
womanhood beautiful, their charms should
be familiar to the child, and so interviewer
in his young thoughts that selfshness, petu-
lance, complaining, disappearing of others
to make his own way seem right, should all
seem. sentiments unworthy OF him.-The Ne
| fropOllQn.
