Oh, the priceless value Of the love
OF true woman Gold can not pur-
chase gem so precious! I! Title and
honors confer upon the heart no such
serene happiness. In our darkest mo-
ment, when disappointment and in
gratitude, with corroding care gather
thick around, aud even gaunt poverty
menaces with his skeleton finger, il
CLEANS around the soul with an angels
smile. Time can not mar its brillian-
cy, distance but strengthens its influ-
ence, bolts and bars can not limit its
progress, it follows the prisoner into
his dark cell and sweetens the home
morsel that appeases his hunger, and,
in the silence of midnight, it plays
around his heart, and in his dreams he
folds to his bosom the form other who
loves on still, though the world has
turned coldly from him. The couch
made by the hands of Il loved one is
soft to the weary limbs OF the sick
sufferer, and the potion administered
by the same hand loses half its bitter
ness. The pillow carefully adjusted
by her brings repose to the feyered
brain, and her words Of kind encour-
agement revive the ,inking spirit. 1t
would almost seem that God, compass
sioning woman's first great frailiy, had
planted his jewel in her breast, whose
heavenlike interest should cast into
forgetiulness mans remembrance of
the fall, by building up in his heart
another Eden, where perennial flowers
frever bloom, and the crystal waters
gush from exhaustless fountains.

Former JfsHs Of the Grasshsppers
fs Minmesefs.

During the present week we have
had an opportunity to discuss the
''grassbopper question" with A. W.
Williamson, son Of Rev. T. s. Will.
iamsop, whom our readers will remen,.
bcr as one Of the early missionaries
among the Sioux. Mr.. Williamson
says his father first visited Lac qui
Parle, in 1884, and went there to re-
side in 1885. IL any such tradition
existed among the Sioux as was allu.
ded to in our last-that the grdsshop-
pers had once occupied this portion Of
country for II years-it was wholly
unknown to Mr.. w.
Mr.. Williamson lived at Lac qui
Parle, from 1885, to 1S47, when he
was succeeded by Rev. Mr.. Riggs,
who had charge Of the mission until
1858, when Mr.. Williamson returned
and remained until the Indian out
break in 1862. Between 1885 and
1855, period Of twenty years, Mr..
Williamson saw or heard nothing of
grasshoppers in southwestern Mime
sofa. During the summer of 1855,
or '56, few hoppers made their np-
pearance in the neighborhood Of yell,
low Medicine, but did not get up as
far as Lac qui Parle, while south of
Yellow Medicine, along the valley Of
the Minnesota River, they were very
numerous. But in those days there
were no crops to be destroyed by them
except the little corn planted by the
Indians. The hoppers left the coun-
try tt1t fall, and did no; make their
appearance again until 1864. That
year they came too late to damage
small grain, but they filed the ground
with egss, and the crop OF '65, in the
counties of Mcleod, Sibley. teSuer.
Blue Earth, and Brown, was pretty
generally destroyed, or very badly
damaged. In the summer of rs, they
took their fight to the southwest and
were not again heard from Til the
summer of 1878, when they again
put in their appearance" have re-
mained ever since, and apparently ARE
sufficiently well pleased with the coun-
try to live and die here.
Here we have a brief history ex-
over period of AZ years, iu-
ring which time the grasshoppers have
invaded the land on three different oc-
aud have destroyed six or Sc
ven crops, or an average of one in
seven years. Our only regret is that
they had not eaten up six crops for the
Sioux, and let ours wholly alone. =

AN odd genius, in the shape of a

Germany the other day. lie had
about him thirty thousand dollars in
bonds, and about three hundred dol

door, two bushels Of beech nuts, and
two or three big oak chests. lie said
he was going to San Francisco, where
he intended to build house 10 fit the
door which he had, and which WAS
bored through and through with worm

with singular fransness, calls the

Now, that the busy time with th'
farmers for the present crop GROWN,
season is over, and they are enjoying 1
vacation so to speak, few words as tc
how the time could be best spent will
them would not be out OF place.
Notwithstanding we have said tn,
"busy time" is over, we consider thai
all time should be considered as busy
time; at least il should be made so BY
all those who desire to be successful
farmers. Men Of all other avocation,
have less time that they consider va
cation than the farmers, and this Is
caused by the nature Of their business.
Professional and business men have nc
particular sowing and reaping time
except that which will cause their
business to yield them the greatest
profits.
The farmers have had their sowing
time and are now having but n part Of
the gathering time, aud the way in
which that part could be most benefi-
cially occupied should arrest the sim
cere consideration of all. We are now
engaged in saving forage, such as fod-
der, etc. and while we are thus en-
gagged we should think of turning our
labor to the greatest account p ssible,
and when the work Of procuring the
forage is completed we should see that
We have means prepared by which we
can save our labor. We should, if we
have them not already, prepare suit.
able house room to house it all, and
not leave it standing to take theweath-
er H it comes, and thereby lose con-
siderable amount of the nutritious
quality contained in it. Having the
houseroom prepared we should not,
from mere negligence, omit the filling
Of that room with its proper contents.
We should also endeavor to prepare
another sort Of room now. while time
and opportunity afford, and that should
he house-room and the proper shelter
for all our stock during the winter.
Some farmers are too negligent of this
one thing, thereby losing labor, time,
and money. A good, comfortable STA
bic for horse or COW in winter is
equal to half feed. Besides. this, it
would be treating those animals on
which We rely so much for support, in
carrying burdens, dragging plsws, or
even furnishing us with that much
used diet, milk, with a cruelty that
should not characterize enlightened
and chrisiianized people. We should
labor to secure the comfort Of our do
nestle animals, then, not only to prove
a sense of gain, but from a sense Of
right that we owe them.
Not only should the farmer employ
these pleasant days in arranging these
houses spoken Of, but there are various
other ways in which he might he prof
iiably engaged, such as repairing fem
cling. turning turf soil for next years
crop, etc, of which we could speak
but suffice it to say he should study
well the necessities OF his farm and its
surroundings, AID his time may all be
profitably employed Murray Ga

The man who believes in debt, and
cites plenty men Of genius who run in
debt, is either silly enough to suppose
himself genius or to mistake folly for
genius. Men who write wisely against
running in debt may also, like many
other preachers, fail utterly to practice
their own preaching. Thus, Lord Ba-
con wrote ON the wisdom Of business,
and ran desperately in debt. Men Of
genius are not always ninnies in their
expenditures, though we can recall
thousands who are. from Bacon to
Webster. Men Of genius may also be
able, like Pitt and Webster, to have
the most correct ideas Of public fnan.
ces, and yet fail utterly in managing
their own afi;ilrs. Pitt received never
less than equal to $4,000 a year,
sometimes equal u $50, 1000, and died
equal to 5000, 900 in debt. Sheridan
was another spcud,hrift, and spent all
Of his first wife's fortune in six weeks,
aud the fortune of his second wife in a
few months. Fox wasa great game
ster, and at one sitting oftwenty hours
lost equal to 5000. 1t is Just this
kind Of genius which should have nu
imitators, and which has proved the
misery of thousands Of families and
the dishonor Of all the men who in-
dulge in such personal extravaganza
and plunder of other peoples property.

A MANS house should be his earthly

A MANS house should be his earthly
paradise. 1t should be, of all other
spots, one which he leaves with the
most regret, and to which he returns
with the most delight. And in order
that it may be so, it should be his daily
task to provide everything convenient
and comfortable for his wife. With
every provision he can possibly make,
hers will be a life of care and of toll.
She is the sentinel who can seldom, II
ever, be relieved. Others may sleep,
but If there be one who must watch it
is she. She ought, therefore, to be
furnished with every comfort within
the means Of her husband. Generally,
every shilling expended for the accom-.
modations OF his wife in her domestic
operations, is returned upon him four

advantages, though this is often true,
it will be found in the order, peace,
and happiness Of the fanily.-[ Mount

Around and above all other distinc-
tions, there are two great classes of
conversers; those who make you feel
YOU are of some account in the world,
and those who have a subtitle way of
convincing you that you have no right
to exist. The latter class is small in
number; but what they lack in guam
tity, they make up in sting. Some
times they ar. gifted with a sharp
tongue aud an unerring faculty of say
ing the most grinding things. Some
times they are apparently suave in
manner and phrase. But, in either
case, you may go away from them with
feeling that the world is stuffed with
saw-dust,-tha you yourself are an
imbecile and impostor. 1t may take
days for you TO recover your proper
standing with yourself. Then, if you
ask your soul what fatal gift has the
tormentor, which carries with it this
power of making his fellow mortals
miserable, you discover that il is the
gift of selfshnes. The person to
whom you have been talking is un.
generous. A generous man, n gener-
Gus woman-you cannot come near
such an one without receiving some
thing that makes amends for your own

ion of, yourself. An ungenerous per-
