The Winter Evenings.

Winter approaches. Already the sun
is absent from us fourteen hours, and to
spend this long period in sleep is a
waste of precious hours. Neither the
demand of muscle nor brain requires
il. What shall we do with this surplus
time? Many mechanical operations
may be carried on by artificial light,
and thus hours of profitable labor be
prolonged; but the Legitimate works of
the farmer end with the evening twi-
light. The busy days of summer are
spent in the cultivation of the soil and
labor necessary TO secure the crop; but
we must not forget that We have other
fields TO cultivate, and q crop 10 secure,
not less valuable than the bushels of
corn and wheat and tons Of hay that We
have already gathered A great truth
that this age hss fully ssnOnstrsted 10
that labor must be intelligent fit would

Its population is 1,502,574 by the last

Union, having about 5000, 900 head. II

hogs, more than $71,0OO,000. For the

Ta.as Central Railroad, brought to the
CITY samples of the coal which Is now

rave no sickening smoke. Mr. Ellis
informs us that the vein is 81 feet thick
10 inches of the bottom strata being
bituminous, 81 feet bloch and sphnt

have about 100 tons mined, which they

the other road.

inhabitants, or as densely populated !,

Dwelling upon these astounding 60.
ures turn to the sagacious philosoph,
of the great minds that gave us Kaps,,
on the one hand Texas on the otbe,
not to glorify individuals, but to ete,.
nize ideas, not to preserve mere names
but to perpetuate liberty. We gathe,
from this comparative retrospect sew
eral profound compensations: first
that human liberty cannot be DESTROY.
ed; second, that the American Union
should be maintained at every sacrifice
third, that the American continent must
ultimately be reserved for democratic
institutions. I am writing from tn.
city of Philadelphia, where the Decla.
ration of independence was written BY
Virginia gentleman, Thomas Jefferson,
who afterwards, az President of th.
United States. purchased from Naps.
leon Bonaparte, in 1904, the territory
of Louisiana, of which the State Of
Kensas is to-day = part.
There is something providentially
coincident in the relation borne to
Texas and Kansas by Pennsylvania, its
soldiers, and statesmen. Thousands Of
its sons fought against Santa Anna, in
the battle of San Jacinto, in 1886, and
in the subsequent conflicts in Mexico,
from 1886 to 1948. Robert J. Walker,
a Pennsylvania born, was one Of the
early champions of the annexation Of
Texas. in Congress; the second city in
State is called after George NJ. Dallas,
Pennsylvania vice president of the
United States. The county OF Kauf-
man is called after David S. Kaufman,
born in Cumberland county, Pennsyl
vania. The first survey of the first
great trans-continental railway was
made by George Brinton Mcclellan, Of
Pennsylvania, in 1852, having previous
ly fought to maintain the annexation in
the war with Mexico. The celebrated
Sam Houston, who defeated Santa Anna
in the battle of San Jacinto, in 1885,
although born in Virginia, was one Of
the original Houstons of Pennsylvania
and within sight of my bay window
lives the descendant of Stephen +
Austin, the founder of the capital o
} the State of Texas, Samuel Il. Austin
Almost as extraordinary are the clos'
relations borne by many of the distln
guished men of Pennsylvania to Kan
sas. Here again We find the names
Robert J. Walker, John W. Geary' An
drew n. Reeder, and other promlnen
actors in the great drama of that inter
esting State.

intelligent than the mule that pullsit his
labor will stand on the same level OF re-
spectability. Labor is respected and
honored as the lsborer is cultured
and Intelligent. The physician, the
civil engineer and the geologist submit
to more toilsome and repulsive labor
than any other that falls to the lot OF
the farmer, yet their busines is dignl-
fed as a profession, and they are re-
spected as professional gentlemen,"be
cause they know, or are supposed to
know what they are doing and why they
do it, in regard to every thing they are
required to do. In short-professional
labor is guided by cultivated intellect,
but farm labor has heretofore been little
else than brute toil-mere ply steal
drudgery. But this is no longer nec-
essity-in fact it belongs to the past.
Our public schools have opened the
gate to the highway OF intelligence, to
all classes and conditions of society,
and ignorance is now disgrace, for it
is voluntary. But the schools propose
only clear to away rubbish, lay the foun-
dstion and furnish us the tools to build
for each of us a respectable intellectual
structure. The building is an after
work of our own personal labor, and
the long winter evenings in the quiet
of farm home bring the opportunity
for this work. Tho man or woman
who has mastered in fair degree, the
common school branches has the key
to respectable intelligence in literature
and science, If the waste hours OF life
are carefully gathered up and earnestly
applied to this work.
OF course, tho farmer must labor TO
make himself intelligent in his own
business. Books on farming in all its
departments are now multiplied and
comparatively cheap. forty years ago
there was not an agricultural paper
published in the United States, and
scarcely work on farming was to be
found in any of our bookstores or IL
braries. But we rejoice to know that
in no department of knowledge has
more progress been made than here.
Agriculture rivals any of the profes-
sions now, in it's periodical literature.
These publications are chiefly weeklles'
or monthlies, mostly devoted to agrlcul-
cure in its broad generalities, though
publications treating of specialities
such as stock raising, horticulture
drainage, etc, are becoming quite COM
mon. Every farmer whe intends to
keep pace with the rapid improvements
in all the departments Of agriculture
will supply his table with one or more
weekly papers devoted to the general
subject of farming and monthly suit
able for binding. The much neglected
agricultural reports of the national de-
partment and of the State Boards of
Agriculture furnish much valuable in
formation; and these can generally be
obtained at but little trouble or ex-
pense through the proper congressman,
or member of the State Legislature
