Some years since, when the State OF
Missouri twas considered "Far Vest,
there lived on the bank Of the river Of
the same name as the State a substantial
farmer, who, By years Of toll, had accu-.
mulated pretty pile of cash; owing. as
he said, principally TO the fact that he
didn't raise much taters and unyuns, but
right smart of corn. This farmer, hear
ing that good land was much cheaper
further south, concluded t. move there.
Accordingly he provided his eldest son
with good horse and suaiciency o.
the needful to defray his travelling con-
tingent expenses, and Instructed him to
purchase 200 acres Of good land, at the
lowest possible price, and return imme-
diately. The next day Jeems started for
Arkansas, and after an absence OF six
weeks returned home. -sssi

UNGENERoUs ALBION.
Health and Happiness.

The two things which conduce most
to health and happiness, are labor and
abstinence. Spartan seventies are not
recommended, for they would not be
conducive to either health or happiness
but that degree of labor which is not op-
pressive, and that quantity of food which
suffices to support nature without load
ing the stomach. But labor and absti-
nence are two things which mankind
take most pains to avoid. Yet what can
exercise a more healthy influence upon
the mind and body than these? And
not only should man be temperate in
food, but moderate in all things. Mod
Grafton of disposition teaches US to re-
strain all the evil workings of the mind
to repress jealousies, envy, anger,
malice, hatred, revenge. and all those
baneful passions which have ruined the
health of thousands. 1t directs US, too,
to cultivate all the benevolent feelings OF
our nature,to moderate our desires-and
above all, 20 do unto others as we would
they should do unto US. By this means
We shall insure peace and tranquility,
which are absolutely requisite to the full
enjoyment Of all the faculties of the
mind, and that thorough performance of
of all the animal functions of the body
without any impediment, pain or moles.
ton. The mind thus engaged from :u-
muituous passions, and the body free
from disorders, render existence hap
piness to us, end life an object to desire,
while the loss of these blessings implies
the loss of everything pleasant and de-
lectable. "To enjoy good health" said
St. Evremond, celebrated French phi
losopher, sis better than to command
the whole world. Health is the fountain
of every blessing, 3br without this we
could not relish the most exquisite pleas
ures, or enjoy the most desirable Oh
jects." Without health we can neither
be happy in ourselves, nor useful-at
least in any considerable degree-to our
friends nor to society. Much, undoubt-
edly, depends on original vigor of con-
stitution; but, by judicious attention to
various particulars, health NAV In many
cases be preserved where it would other
wise be lost.

WESTON WINS.
THE AMERICAN A DOUBLE
VICTOR OVER TIME AND
BROWN.


LONDON, June 21.-The fourth contest
for the Ashley belt is finished, and En-.
ward Payson Weston is the winner 1t
has be-n great competition-great for
the quality of majority of the competi-
tors, for the surprises it developed and
the remarkable record Of the American.
which is the greatest ever made in long
distance competitions. Brown in April
last, for the championship of EnSlssd,
made 542 miles and 2 laps, while Wes-
ton at the finish tonight was credited
with $50 miles with time to spare.
TEE LAST MOMENTS.
The closing moments OF the walk an
preached. The last two miles (549th
and 550th) were made in lin. 24s. and
lin. 21s. As Weston passed his tent
for the final lap he was given the British
and American flags, which he carried
around the ring, waving them amid the
deafening cheers and the din Of the mu-
sic. The band first played yankee
Doodle" and ended with "Rule Britain
MA" He finished the $50 miles at lob.
55m. los, when be marched to the en-
trance and took cab home. Sir John
Ashley was present at Agricultural Hall
all day encouraging the American. He
said to me this evening: "My bet with
Weston was that he would not make $50
miles by IL o'clock tonight. He has,
therefore, won."
UNGENERoUs ALBION.
The profits of the whole affair will
not exceed $3,000-in sorry contrast to
the amount which the New Workers
showered into the lap of Rowell. Wes-
ton has thirds Of this Tor $4,000
besides his stakes. 1t would appear that
the boasted enthusiasm in England re-
garding manly sports is something of 9
fiction. Weston probably starts for New
York at an early day. Brown is arrang'
ing already to 60 in few weeks. New
York is the rich bonanza that is now 60
ing to be worked by the British pedes-
trian enthusiasts.
