remarkable fact, that life, to all out
ward appearance, is a monotonous
succession of scenes and movements
but all incidental. We wonder
how the interest is kept up. But
we never tire of going to bed at
night. and we are very sorry when
we tire of getting up in the morn
ing. We never weary, except with
regret, of breakfasting, dining and
supping; and yet these actions are
repeated necessarily three hundred
and sixty-five times in the year,
with renewed excitement Oh every
succeeding occasion. We take off
our clothes once every day, and put
them on once every day. We do
this at nearly the same hour, in
daily succession; and when health
is good the pleasure derived from
so doing is not marred by the repe-
tition of the act; for the ebbing and
the flowing of our bodily sensations
prepare US, without any effort on
our part, for all tue vicissitudes of
our existence. When hungry, food
is agreeable; when weary, sleep or
rest is a treat ; when warm, cool air
is refreshing; when cold, the pleas
nre derived from a cheerful fire is
delicious. The excitement is kept
mp by contrasts; and we purchase
-he enjoyment of one feeling by
encouraging the reverse. With |
health, and youth, and prosperity |

RISING CITY, Butler Co., Neb.,)
May 9Th, 1879.
EDITOR JOURNAL 1T is cold, dry,
and most of the time very windy in
this part of Nebraska. Items of
news, too, l have no time at present
to gather up; but as necessity COM
pels me to be awake most of the
night, | will, with your permission,
redeem the promise made in my
last scribble to your excellent paper
and report farther on the varieties
of fruit permanently planted for
home enjoyment. We have nothing
TO add as to the varieties of fruit
mentioned in our last, as the ad-
vancement in the season has fully
proved the correctness of our re-
marks. The grapes that we covered
last fall (two and three years plant
ed have been taken from their
winter quarters and for the benefit
of your readers we will name the
varieties, and the reason we do it is
TO correct somewhat the practice of
planting nothing but Concord. AS
all of the varieties have come thro'
the winter in good condition, and
also each winter since planted, we
think that we can begin TO speak
with some confidence as regards
our success with the following va
rieties. Of fourteen Clintons, we
covered two; they are all five years
planted and cover five feet
trellis. Concord three years plant
ed {; also Franklin, Northern Musca-
dine, Catawba, Rogers No. Al, 8 and
4, Israella, Martha and Delaware.
Our Hartfords have been planted
but one year, but we feel pretty
confident of gathering this coming
fall from our three rows Of the
above named grapes at least nine
pounds. The excessive
dryness of the fall aud winter will
not allow us TO enjoy many raspber-
ries or currants. The same cause
with its continuance to the present
time, will give us but a partial crop |
of straw berries. Gooseberries prom
ise full crop, aud the Amelanchier
Alpina will be loaded with fruit. |
Pears, five varieties, are in nice

to cut the laine, but was started on
the ledge, which he followed twenty
feet, and was then obliged to discans
tinue work on account Of a heavy rush
of water. A depth Of nine feet was
obtained. The ledge matter is eight
feet vile, four feet being quartz aud
the remainder stratas. The center
