Outward conduct Is OF little value ex-
oept as an indication of an inward spirit
aud purpose. Yet outward conduct
must be looked to as the reai.st express
sion OF feeling; and, moreover, It has
its important part III promoting the
feeling it aims TO express. We ought
not to wait until we feel night, before
attempting to do right We ought TO
say kind words and do kindly acts do
liberately, even when We do not say
and do. them instinctiyely and impuls-
lively. Good manners arc an exhibit Ct
good morals and both morals and man
ners-if they are looked at separately,
as formerly they were not ought to be
the result of determined and pcrais-
tent effort, where the temptation Is all
III the opposite direction. i: is night 10
force ourselves ~ say and do :hat which
seems uaselfish, and which viii tend 70

and assiduonsly cultivated bui night

Early Dlviden ndr.

Capitalists are fond of buying stock
that yields dividends, and are quite con.
tent now to &c! bonds that will pay four
or five per cent annually. A neighbor of
ours spread barrowful of manure taken
from under the floor of horse stable about
the middle OF April. Tn: manure or
earth had received the urine of a horse
for some months, and represented tho
value Of that commodity 1t was spread
on about a square rod Of old meadow, that
had received no manure for dozen years
or more. The grass took fresh start
soon after the application, and clearly de-
| fined the dressed plat, by its dark green
aud luxuriaut growth. On the twentieth
of June, the grass i. 50 heavy, that 1t Is
partly lodged and is ready for the scythe.
The yield OF grass is certainly quadrupled
by the top dressing. Sixty days from
the date of investment, he has a dividend
worth at leas: one half the value of the
manure. He Will get second crop this
season, Will b makes another dividend.
The sod beloE is enriched with great
growth Of grass roo ITS, which is an increase
of capital, and will continue to give far
dividends for several years to- come. He
Is SO well pleased with this spriag' invest
n,ent, that he mas enlarged the area of
top-drcsslng on the meadow, and applied
Efresh manure from the stable, made up OF
leaves, and horse and COW dung, op the
twentieth of June The grass cut on this
second plot was very thin, certainly les:
than half ton to the acre. He confidently
expects dividend from this lnyestmen
in about sixty days. and permanent in
crease Of capital. Now is it not muct
better for a cult vator to put his capita
upon his own land, under his own super
vision, and get gold dividends, early an,
often than to invest IN railroads, steam
boats, factories, or Wall Street. Invest
ing at home, he knows just what he i
about, and with an average expenditure 0
J brain and muscle, he can command earl
dividends, and keep them coming. lh

On considerable trip, says the writer
OF Camps in the Rockies" we had to
c:oss river notorious for its auicksands.
and found, much to- the surpnse of our
men. newly erected ferry. close to
desoiaie looking log cabin The charges
rWFitten on board near the cabin were
high, and would Lave amounted TO $l5
Tor my outfit. The river was low, and my
men had crossed it several times at 4 ford
they knew half mile below the ferry.
They decided to try the ford. When We
got there we found freshly made grave
,iosc tosthe river bank. and written on a
rude, wooden cross Tic following ep.taph !:
! Here are dround and buried Old john,
from Texas, ani lane Billy, his brother.
IN. B.-Tbe ferry is lsss than half q
mile up the river / did not like this, aud
wan.ed to prevail on my men to turn back
and use the ferry rather than use the
quicksands. Bat they would not hear OF
it. Iney knew, they said, that the ford
| was perfectly sase-which indeed 1t
proved to be. The whole outfit had
crossed except my head nan, and when |
| looked back ! saw him, to my astonish-
ment digging at the grave. Five minutes
suificed 70 show that Old John, from Texas
and Lime Billy his brother. had not been
old trappers, as in the innocence o.: my
heart | had supposed, but two old rlules.
AS the fo;d was situated on route fire.
quentcd by emigrants to Oregon, many OF
these unfortanatcs would. no doubt, be
frightened into using the ferry. We hap
pened to pitch tent for the night close tc
the river, in view of the cabin on the op
posite side. We had done supper, when
