Dearbon, who is one of the "large boys, has

and spend more time regretting
their lack of knowledge than would
suffice to give them the knowledge
they need. 1t is said that the father
of Professor Sumner, of Yale Col
lege, could neither wlite nor read
when he came to this country, a
young English mechanic. Within
twenty years thereafter he was
known az one of the best read men
III Hartford, one of the most cul-
tivated communities in the country.
Instead of wasting his time in idle
regrets for his deficient schooling,
he learned to read to good purpose.
In similar way many of the best.
most honored, and most successful
men our country has known have
begun their acquaintance with let
ters after reaching manhood and
there is no reason why the most
illlterate mechanic in our land, if
possessed of natural ability and a
sincere purpose, may not increase
his enjoyment IN life, his opportuni-
ties for improving his social and
financial condition, and the chances
OF his family for the highest success
in life, by an homes: effort to
retrieve by study the disadvantages
by which early poverty or lack Of
educational opportunities has sur
rounded him.

THE editor of the Rural New
Yorker hits the nail squarely on the
head in following liness
There are many persons waiting
for the fright time Of the moon"
before they will venture to plant
their potatoes. They were govern
ed by the same idea in slaughtering
their hogs last season. They firmly
believe that the phases of the silver
satellite have a potent influence on
the products of the earth. This need
not be regarded as superstition; for
it respects the theory of natural
cause, and is extenuated by the
many surprising discoveries of
causes and effects by modern
science. The opinion is the result
of the common tendency to cling to
beliefs that are inherited, without
questioning their soundness or seek
ing for rational explanations 20
them. AS far as the moon theory
seems to be sustained by expert
ment, there is, no doubt, in every
case, al unrecognized cause that
should rather be accepted as the
trne one.
Those farmers VINO pay no atten-
ton to such notions are just as
successful as those who do. We
venture the affirmation that every
one who is governed by the state Ct
the moon, and is blessed with a
good result, invariably uses the
ordinary Indispensable conditions.
He selects suitable land, applies
proper manures, and cultivates the
crops AS it requires. If he hadn't
done these thing, his expectations
would have proved a mere matter
of moonshine.

THE GROWING WEST.

A New York paper says The
active distribution of population
that is now going on, or in other
words the exodus Of the surplus
bone and sinew from the over
crowded communities of the East
to the broad and fertile prairies of
the West, cannot fail TO greatly
assist In the restoration of better
times. This tide of emigration,
which has been steadily gathering
torce for two years, is rapidly de-
veloping the resources of the West,
especially in the trans-Mississippi
States, where new homes and new
INDUS sles are springing up with
Aladdinlike rapidlty. When en-
ergetic and industrious men start
out determined to exercise patienee
and self-reliance, we can at once
understand the benefit which their
work will be to the whole country.
In the wake of these pioneers will
follow artisans and mechanics. AS
civilization advances there comes a
demand for the higher branches of
art, and an opening even for those
who work with their brains rather
than their hands. In this emigration
movement there doubtless have
been, and will continue to be, mis-
takes made as to location and voca-
ton, yet Il cannot be denied that
that it has already done much to
mitigate poverty and lessen idleness
in the East, and is destined to ac-
complish much more. A country
to which all the markets of the
world are open, that is rich in
soil, in minerals and in all the
practical arts, surely cannot for any
considerable length Of time be de-
rived of high degree Of prosper

CARDINAL NEWMAN AND EARL
BEACoNsFIEID.-On most Saturday
afternoons in the last year of the
first decade of the present century
two boys, aged respectively nine
and five, might have been seen play
ing in the grounds of Bloomsbury
Square, London. The boys, both
natives of the square, offered the
most complete contrast to each other
in appearance. The younger W hose
head was proiusd with long, black
glossy ringleJs, was child of rare
Jewish type ofbeauty ,and tull of life
and activity. The other was grave
in demeanor, wore his hair close
cut, and walked and talked and
moved in way which, in young
people is called sold fashioned. :"
lie ~as of pure English race and
Puritanical family. The names of
the children denoted these differ
ences as much as their appearance.
The one was Benjamin D'IsraeIi,
the other Jcha Newman. Sixty
eight years have passed since then,
and much has happe ned in the
meantime, but nothing more won
dertul than that the handsome little
Jew boy should become Christian
and Prime Minister of Protestant
England, and tie Puritan lad a
Catholic and Cardinal Of the Holy
Roman Church.

APPRECIATED.

Messrs. A. G. Barstow, Chairman,
and <. Whittlesey, Secretary, OF
the L. S. Board of Indian Com.
missioners, visited last summer Red
Cliff and Bad Liver, two of the
reservations under the charge ot
DR. |. L. Mahan, and below we give
shcrt extract from their report tc
the President, which shows that the
Doctors work is appreciated.
"Agent Mahan appears to be a
man of sense, system, vlgor, and
integrity. He is, with the help of
a wideawake, hard working farmer,
stimulating the Indians of Red Cliff
to unwonted vigor. He has been
allowed to distribute some cows
among them, and they are all rails
ing their calves. In our opinion he
should have authority to 90 farther
in this directlon Another dozen
cows and calves wisely distributed
would be great incentive TO in
dustry aud thrift. -.
Que further suggestion we ven
ture to offer respecting the future
management of this agency. The
agent has resided near the two
reservations which we visited FIVE
years. But he has five other reser-
yatious under his care at remote
points in Wisconsin and Minnesota
Our Judgment is that removal of
the agency to one OF these more
remote reservations would be wise.
Under Agent Mahan's personal
supervision great progress has been
made at Red Cliff and at Bad River,
so that those bands are nearly self
supporting, and can well be left in
charge of the farmers now employ
ed. The small supplies of food and
clothing needed by the sick and
INDECENT can be issued by these farm
ers and the missionaries. w ere the
agent placed now at Lac Court
Oreilles, we might hope for the
$; ne Improvement there as has been
made under his administration at
Red Cliff and Bad River"
