Western Investments.

Now that the craze for Western emigra-
ton has so sensbly lessened in New Eng
land, and it begins to be understood that
very few who 60 there succeed in lettering
their circumstances, it is well also to ascer-
tain whether, as a rule, the Western invest
ments of our New England capitalists, which
have kept interest at so high a rate, have
paid them any better than it would to have
kept their money at home and loaned it at a
moderate percentage upon good security for
the development of our home industries. \
representative business journal says on this
subject
"The West IL the place where tue Fast has
sailed nearly all Its spare capital for years,
and the Western people now have the use of most
Of II for nothing. How much dividend is the
West paying ON the capital OF the Michigan Cen
trial? Not n dime 1t is free road for the
granger and the wheat producer, who put In their
pockets what they save in freights and fares
There is hardly town In Massachusetts which
has not invested thousands, and many towns and
cities have put millions into Western railroads, of
which the people out there are now getting the
benefit, interest free The character OF the Sc
curties lost in the bank robbery at Northampton
showed the extent to which the fairness of the
Connecticut meadows has gone to manure the
pairies, The Western people are not paving
interest ON much OF this capital.

Quick Ears.

1t is sometimes surprising TO see how ami
mails learn to pick out the sound in which
they take interest from the thousand noises
of the city Ia Paris, man who goes about
with cheap meat for the cats rings bell as
he approaches the house Of customer.
Long before the members of the household
detect the sound, pussy will spring to the
door, and with eager looks await the arrival
of her benefactor for as she has no ideas OF
trade she can only look on the cat-meat
man as true philanthropiSt. She can al
ways pick out his voice and tone amid the
turmoil Of the busy street.
gentleman away in a Western seaport
was down on the wharf one day, when he saw
a great dog spring up and prance about in a
very joyful manner He could see no reason
for the excitement; but bystander ex-
planned " That is Mr.. Fairy's dog. lie is
mate ON board the Alexandria, and as soon
as the dog hears the whistle of that boat he
knows it, and goes for it."
Sure enough, the dog started OFF at full speed
for the dock where the vessel stopped and
as soon as it touched the wharf he boarded
it, and sprang to meet MS beloved master
To most people the whistle of one steam
boat was much like another; but the shaggy
fellow had learned the exact tone of the one
for which he watched and waited.
II is still more wonderful that dogs, and
perhaps, some other animals, seem to under
stand conversation sometimes, and act upon
the hints they get in this way.
4 clever little fellow, who always liked to
ride with folks, but was often shut up at
home, was sitting in the breaklast-room one
morning when the family planned to so to
town that day.
"Shal you 60 with the single or the
double team, father 2" asked one.

Shortly after Dash disappeared, aud moth
ing was seen Of him until the party had got
some four miles on their way, when he
meekly ciawled out from under the back
seat, and waggcd his tail in way that
seemed to say, You certainly can't send me

know which sleigh to hide in, and could only
have learned from the conversation.-Lw

Keep Sill.

Some big folks forget that they were once
little, aud want children To- act Just like men
and women.
Little Robbie was sent into the country 10
his aunt once, when his dear mamma was
ill., Everybody was careful TO see his
clothes, his stout boots and his warm stock
ings put into the big bag his papa was to
take for him. But no one thought of Dick,
his headless Westinghouse, Of his drummer
boy, or his fife and trumpet and they were
far more TO Robbie than all his clothes were.
This aunt's house was very neat you
could not find a speck of dirt in it, nor bit
Of paper, nor a chickens feather on the
lawn. No flowers were allowed in them, ex-
cept those which Aunt Phebe put up, stiif
and straight, in her parlor vases.
The dear little boy hunted round Tor big
stick to ride in place of Dick, aud having
found one, galloped joyfully into the room.
90, Rob - she cried out, carry that old
stick into the shed, and do keep still"
"That isn't an old stick" said Rot, in sur
prise. THAT'S boss, aunte :"
81 don't wonder your mothers sick said
auntie, q" if you are so noisy an the time at
home. You must keep still here, Rob, or
you'll make me crazy"
SO the good child put away Dick" and
got the big dinner bell, aud went mp stairs

Forty yeay' observation and experience
have convinced MS that the selection Of the
stock upon which we graft apple trees, is
matter Of great importance, with reference
to the quality Of the fruit to be expected
from the grated trees. For this reason,
among others, we have strenuously objected
TO the Siberian crab as stock for orchard
fruit. and although we have been made the
subject Of some abuse from interested par
ties, on this account, We have been content
to wait our time FOR the justification Of our
opinions.
Year by year we have noticed the growth
Of conviction upon this point, among fruit
growers and honest nurserymen, and from
our scrap-book we might now Gil columns
with notes and letters that have appeared in
the agricultural press, relating to this subject
and confrmatory Of our own observations.
A recent issue of the Massachusetts Plougi-
man contains a letter in which it is stated
that the long keeping Rhode Island Green
ing when grated upon early stocks or upon
huCn rs nave bctnlle HNuhttNf ntNNluNn hN
autumn apple only and the same has been
observed Of the Northern Spy. Thousands
of combinations, enough to convince any
aud every one interested in the matter, would
be brought forward, did planters of trees gen
orally know cIai kind Of stocks were used
by the nurserymeu Of whom they made theil
purchases, and thus could trace the peculiar
itics they notice 10 their true cause.
81. H., Of Waitsfeld, writing in late Yer
mont Farmer, says I" saw last fall proc

ence, and the fact is so important that
should be better understood.

4 Wonderful Wolf Story.

Being a cutler in the employ of Messrs

small eminence, a pack of wolves, twenty
seven in number, deyouringthe remains OF a

was retreat or TO climb n tree. The former

to reach convenient bough, was none toG

The direct supply Of money currency,
both metallic and paper issues, by the ma
tional government, without the intermediary
agency Of banks Of issue, would doubtless be
a very important provision, in order to de-
priye the money power Of an agency almost
omnipotent in securing its ends, to the injury
of the working classes.
All these reforms, and others are the des-
tined work Of future generations. We shall
see but few Of them in our day but the con
quest Of slavery should be sufficient encour-
agemeut to even the least hopeful heart. For
Freedoms battle, once begun,
Though often lost, is ever won.
II will be hard fight and a long fight;
but no thoughtful mind can doubt that these
are to be the great public questions Of the
future in our country.
