Stone. who has -raveled extcn- sively over the d ,te growing coun- tries of Asia and Africl. and who says that the Color ,do Desert is admirably adaptel fo- the growth of the date producing palm. The palm fourishes in dry soil, and is indigenous to arid lands. The Colorado Descr., also, is specially adapted t, the praducti n, through irrigation. of q fl ie staple of cotton. Many portions of this Desert are covered by an indig 'noas growth of hemp. Sugar, drtes. cotton and hemp are among the possibilities of a section which is now lolked upon as comparatively worthless. We should not be in the lcas; sur prised it, within the next twenty years. this so-c,llel dcse:s sLCu,d, under a judicious system of irriga- tion. and under the stimulus of lil- way transportation. be remarked for a large production of the most valued staples of commerce. It Is quite within the range of probahili- ties that those desert lands should be made to blossom like the rose. It is true that the climate is d rather fervid one; but. with the Al mighty Dollnr ill prospect, tem- perature is q secondary considera- ton. The accomplishment of the ideas of Dr. Wozencraft, and others, who have looked upon the Colorado Desert as a source of wealth to the State and nation, mly not be so far off as most people would think. -TLos Angeles Herald.

Trying TO LIVE WITHOUT WoRK.-

TRYING TO LIVE WITHOUT Work.
The following from the pen of Horace
Greeley, is true and applicable to this day:
sour people are too widely inclined to shun
the quiet ways of productive labor and try
TO live and thrive on the crooked paths of
sbeseA4ion and needless traffic. We have
deploreS how few boys learn trades, with ten
times too many anxious to get into business;
that is TO devise some scheme whereby they
may live without work. OF the journey
man mechanics now at work in this city, we
Judge that two-thirds were born in Europe,
and the disparity is steadily augmenting.
One million families are trying to live by
selling liqpors, tobacco, candy, etc, in our
cities, who could be spared thercfrom with.
out the slightest public detriment; and if
these were transferred to the soil, and set
to growing grain, meat, wool, etc, or en-
ployed in smelling the metals, Or weaving
the fabrics for which we are running in
debt to Europe, our country would in
crease its wealth at least twice as much Is
it is now, aud th{ {re would be far less COM
plaint of dull trade and hard times"
SELF-REspEcT-Always remember no
one can debase you but yourself Slander,
satie, falsebood, ipjusticc-.these can never
rob you of your manhood. Men may lie
about you. they may dsnounce you, they
may cherish suspicious manifold, they may
make your failngs the target of their wit
or cruelty; never be alarmed; never swerve
an inch from the line your judgment and
conscience have marked out for you. They
cannot by all their effolts take away your
knowledge of yourself, the purity of your
motives, the integrity of your character
and the generosity of your nature. While
these are left, you are, in point of fact, un.
harmed.
Raleigh Observer: 1t is said that Judge
Caldwell on one occasion was examining
witness, and received the affirmative an
swer, ''Yes stree, Bob" whereupon his
Honor replied, "Mr Clerk, enter fine of
fifteen dol nars for eyes stree" and ten dol.
lars for @Bob." On another occasion the
Judge asked u witness where he lived
The witness enlightened his Honor by in.
forming him that he ''lived at home and
boarded at the same place" The Judge
said that "for the next two weeks he would
vary the monotony of the witness life by
permitting him to live in Jail and board at
the same place"

TURNING GRAY.

Lifes sands ore running fast away;
The buoyant step Of youth is gone,
The falling hair is turning gray,
And Time seems now to hurry on
More feetly than in days Of yOre-
Before the heart became its prey
Before twas eaddened 70 the core.
Yes, turning gray! Age comes like snow
As still-and carves each careworn line;
Its wrinkles on the brow will grow;
The hair with silver streaks will shine;
The eyes their brightness lose, the hand
Grow dry and tremulous and thin; -
For life, alas is quickly .panued,
And Death its gates soon closes In.
Ah turning gray! Wo faiu would hide,
The sign how long with Time we've been
Those dsepencd wrinkles side by side,
Cut by the sorrows we have seen;
For feeble beats the heart, as years
More thiekly cluster on our head
As Autumn rain-drops hang like tears,
On sours fair flower that's nearly dead.
Like perished petals from the flower,
Onr hopes and widest joys are laid;
Burn only for day or hour,
Sweet gambols by the fancy played;
As age comes on, we long for rest
As saints near shrines will long to pray;
Bat still we love that time the best
Before the hair is turning gray.

GGOwLERS-There is a class of men in
every community who 80 about with vine

as they ought to be !; and who have a con.

m1n, usually, have made very grave mis-

Wherever this faultiinding with ones con-

do not tell it all over town. If you are
smart show it. Do something, and keep
doing.

deuce, energy to will and to do, and good
sound heart. These qualities and posses
sions insure him position and respect.
