thought that perhaps few lines
about the grasshoppers might inter
est some of your numerous readers,
and so I take the liberty Of sending
you this. In some parts of this
County, (McLeod) the young pests
have already commenced their de-
struction, and they are prosecuting
it in a manner which will at least
keep their credit good, while in
some more fortunate localities, they
have not done much damage, as
yet. Although it was hoped that the
lateness of the season and the severe
frosts had, in a great measure, exter-
minated them, yet the millions that
have made their appearance within
the last few days, have extinguished
all hope Of exemption from them.
Business men look blue, and trade
is very dull on account of them.
There is no reason for hoping that
their ravages will be confined to the
counties where they hatch, for as
soon as they are out of the shell
they take up their line Of march and
scoop things" in very business
like manner as far as they 60. The
farmers spread straw along the edges
Of their fields, and at night the inno-
cent, unsuspecting little hoppers go
to roost on it, peacefully, with Wis
ions of future usefulness filling their
souls, only to be burned to death.
However they do not need much
sympathy, for they are perfectly able
to take care of themselves, as we'll
as few little things IN the way OF
wheat fields and other trihes. Ma
ny farmers did not put in crops here
of any account because the ground
was so full of eggs, and by the looks
of things here at present, they were
not far out Of the way, for the young
hoppers are eating very fast and if
they keep on as they have COM
menced, by harvest time there will
be no green thing left.
If you accept this from a former
resident of your beautiful county, it
will not be the last.

A Sermon on Cows.
A CORRESPONDENTS WANTS THEM LED
INTO GREEN PASTURES.


Obedience to the ciriz lav required of
all echo claim to be followers of
Christ.
"Whosoeyer, therefore, rasisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance Of God."--RoAANs
18th, I'd.
This morning as I was leading my
COW to pasture, 1 thought how much
more convenient 1t would be to let
her 60 in the street. Then l thought
of the law. The proper authorities
of the State have said that the pub
lie good requires that I should re-
strain my cow from going at large to
annoy the people of Goodhue Coun-
ty. So long as that law is on the
Statute books, am bound to obey
1t. Then I thought of the conse-
quences of letting her go at large
with many others; they will proba-
bly,, during the day, make some tim
i'd school girl unhappy. I think
they will cause some unnecessary
pain and anxiety to every careful
mother who would like to have her
children where they could enjoy
themselves in the open air, if it were
not for the COWS going at large.
My COW In common with many 9TH
ers in this city, has the Christian
grace of watchfulness well devel-
oped; for hours in succession thew
will watch their opportunity to get
into somebody's enclosure; and
they add to their watchfulness, per-
severance; if the fence does. not
yield to-day, they will try tomorrow,
until some loose nail or partially de-
cayed post lets them upon some
nighbors crop. If any one has tax
en- special pains to have their gar
den look well, my COW will improve
the first opportunity to visit it. If
the authorities have decided that the
public good requires new sidewalk,
these COWS will soon show that they
appreciate it by making deposite
thereon.
One of the commandments says,
Thou shalt not steal" If I daily
let my COW go out to steal her living
l may not have broken the CON-

HE HAS THEM BAD.

l was rugged and hearty, and had
just passed my twenty-6rst birthday
and considered myself man although
didn't use tobacco. The Christmas
holidays had just left US, when heard
SOME Of my friends had the measles.
had heard Of this disease, but thought
it was a mere child's arrangement, and
as l had never seen any one with them
unwisely made short call on few
Of my friends who had 'em. They told
me would "catch it, but I only
laughed at them. A week few by af-
ter my first exposure, and no signs of
the disease was about me, and I was
priding myself that l had "gone scot
free' but about the 9th day after, I
was unable to walk about, my back
felt as if it had been pounded with a
dozen sledge hammers welded by the
sorong arms of an equal number of
blacksmiths. had vague ideas that l
had the ague, but was informed that
l had the measles, and must drink all
the cold water I could. I was already
| an iceberg, and warm drink was what
1 wanted; in the day time my stomach
and head tried to see which could give
the most pain, and invariably the head
won; felt worse than stuffed turkey,
| the least noise sounded like a cannon
and would 60 through me like screach
from scared ghost or tom cat, I could
eat nothing and my mouth was full Of
gun cotton. I had drank hot drinks
till my mouth and throat were raw, and
my only salvation was cold water,
though every swallow was worse to take
than seven blue pills, or a double dose
Of castor oil. Talk of person being
as dry as herring, was drier than a
Goldfish that had bleached in the sun for
a century, the more I drank the worse l
became, still I must drink. Job illus
trates what boils can do for man,
have had them, aud will take them nine
ty-nine days out of the hundred in pref
erence to the measles. l believe he
had the measles and misscalled them
boils. If he didn't have the measles he
missed something grand. I don't deny
that boils are severe, but measles are
worse, they are boils boiled. IF mos
quitos and Indians would catch them
would not care. A man had better 20
to Texas than get the measles. 1t is
the most disagreeable, darnationist d.
sease that ever befell the human race.
l coughed enough to last me life time,
even if live to the end of time. Mo-
lasses tasted like ash lye, and butter
like axle grease, and bread like saw
dust, and potatoes like Rabbits soap,
and preserves like castor oil in sugar.
l would rather be pounded by fourteen
niggers and thrown into forty wells
than have the measles again.
have heard some say that small pox
is worse than the measles, but I can't
believe it, think it is only a side show
of the measles.
If l had an enemy would get some
one to give him the measles and call the
affair settled.
