Ii was at dusk, Friday Afternoon. A

and so OH, till he had spent Sll 20,

agcment oftlcse children. Give them
study and they will invariably choose
the latter. Anything that occurs in
school hours to attract the attention of
the school is very detrimental; yet the
teacher who would take measures to
prohibit whispering and playing in
school hours would he branded Il
tyrant aud lose his situation iinme-
dialely. But parents little dream, by
doing this, they are erecting gallows
whereon 10 hang their children which
Ilaman like they erected for the
teacher. If children were taught from
infancy that school hours must be
devoted entirely to study, teachers
would have but little difficulty In gov
erning schools.
Some boys are inveteratc users of to-
harco aud whisky. whose parents be-
lieyc they never tasted either. This
they often obtain through the agency
of hired help.
II seems high time parents should
awake from the slumbcr into which
they have fallen; that they should
guard well their own conduct, that at
all times their example may be worthy
of imitation. Then let them watch
their children with jealous care, that
vice, intemperance aud CRIME may give
place to virtue. peace and security.
That such day may dawn ere long
on the American people, is the sincere
wish of the writer.

Letter from the West.
, DoDGE frY, KANSAS, March "a, 1879.
Mr.. FDrroR:A

DoDGE frY, KANSAS, March "a, 1879.
Mr.. FDrroR:- "'
drop you for the perusal of the
readers of your paper short sketch Of
the trip here and the county around
here. The great cry'is "Go west, young
man." aud we followed that advice by
buying n ticket from Middlebury to
Kansas City. A ticket by the direct
Juie--the New York Central would
cost thirty-five dollars, but By going 4
more circuitous route we procured one
for iwenty-one dollars and fifty-fve
cents, and started on our ride via
Montreal, Detroit, Toledo and Quincy
to Kansas City, distance of nearly If
teen hundred miles, making the jour-
ney in three days. Another day brought
us to Dodge City. The farther you go
west the more people you see "goiDg
west" and the more animated they are
in regard TO their future western home.
The greatest excitement just now seems
to be to the mines of Colorado and the
farming lands in Kansas. Scores are
going to those two points daily. To
farmers Kansas affords a grand open

Much of the land is still Government
land and open tor homestead aud pre-
emption. The western part of 1t raises
fine wheat. rye, oats, &c, but the dry
season commences too soon for corn. A
man told me this morning that he rails
ed an average of 60 bushels of barley TO
the acre last year near this place. The
appearance of the state at present is
quite a contrast to Vermont In Ver-
mont there is plenty of snow and wa
ter. In Montreal the snow is up to the
tops OF the fences, at Detroit the snow
ceases entirely, and from Kansas City
TO this place there has been no rain
since last fall, and but little snow, SO
the ground is completely dried up, and
much OF it has been burned over by the
prairlc fires. The sun shines almost
constantly and il is as warm as May II,
Vermont, and seems very fine. Still
there are drawbacks, one of which is u
considerable wind here, not terribly
severe, bnl sufficient to take the cinders
from the burnt grass and the fine dust
from the plowed land and fill the air,
making a complete dirt storm penetrat
ing every crevice, equal to the south
casters along the mountains in Adds III
County, until one can hardly tell wheth-
er he IS White man or a negro. As
soon, however, as the rainy season be-
gins, that will be over, for the ground
being then damp, the wind does not
raise the dust. On the whole the peo-
pie here seem as well satisfied with
their country as those OF any place 1 was
ever in. That speaks well for southern

especially in the new r. r. towns, is ia

sprns Poe,ry--A word of Advice.

There need be 10 doubt In the mind
of any reader of the Free Press that il
Is eager to secure odes to spring, idyls
on April, poems on Nav and blank verse
on green grass and budding vines. In
faef, we keep a travelling man out all the
year round looking after such things,
and paying cash down in every case.
The trouble Is to get enough of sucll
poetry to supply the demands of our
readers. Having said this much in ex-
plaIaiion, we call attention of the
public to the following solemn facts:
In December, 1860, a lady in Kansas
forwarded us a poem on spring, To be
laid away under brick until the 2O,h
of March. She died within lu davs
AFTER mailing the poetry. Comment is
needless.
In March, 1867, student of AM,
Arbor forwarded us poem of ~ line,
on the return of the robin. Before his
robin had uttered three sqnawks, or the
poem could he printed. the student WA.
called home to see his sister die. Does
any explanation seem necessary?
In 1873 II lady in Elmira, y. y. sent
Oh eight verses of beautiful poetry on
"April Showers" About the time the
letter-carrier was saying tlInt there was
six cents postage due on her letter she
was falling of a bridge near her home
She never spoke after being pulled
ashore and wrung out. Truly, tho
ways of Providence are mysterious.
Last year a lawyer in Cleveland sent
us pound and half of blank verse on
the voice of The bluebird and the start
Ing grass. His verses reached us one
rainy Thursday evening when all nature
seemed bent OIL having good old cry,
and the voices of ward politicians came
up from the 9th ward " ith hollow moan,
and the next morning the lawyer was
found dead in his bed. The terrible
look on his face showed that he must
have suffered for lfours and hours. The
corOner's jury returned verdict that
the Free Press must I've held bla,ncless.
One short week ago young lady OF
western Michigan mailed us beautiful
ode to dying winter. The old man who
buys all the waste paper from this Office
had scarcely made an offer of a cent and
half per pound for the beautiful ode,
when dispatch arrived saying that the
poor girl had been tossed on the horns of
II COW and had gone to join the angels.
AS stated at first, the Free Press is
cgariy searching for spring poetry, and
Offering more pay than any other publ
cation IN this country; but it must be
explicitly understood that we cannot he
held responsible for the sudden death
OF the writers. -GDelroit Free Press.

THE AMERICAN RURAL HOME.-One
of The most neatly printed, brightest
and most interesting and instructive of
our agricultural exchanges is The
American liural Home. Practical
farming, by which we mean farming in
which both pleasure and profit are
combined, is fully considered in all its
phases by able writers; and the special
attention given to the cultivation of
fruit renders this paper almost indis-
pensable to the fruit-grower. Its litera-
ture is always fresh, aud its moral tone
is unexceptionable in every respect. In
a word, The Rural Home Is represents

interests OF Western New York.
