Blessed Labor.

1t is mistaken idea that the divine
condition imposed upon us to earn our
living by labor is an unmixed evil. On
the contrary, we should welcome and
love it. Those who pass their lives in
idleness are really deprived of more
than half of this worlds pleasures and
enioyments. Idleness leads to either
ennui, diseased body or mind, or vicious
lives, and deprives the appetite and
spirits of that zest of enjoyment
which the true laborer has to compen-
safe for toll. The blessings of this
world are wisely distributed. Idleness
has its peculiar diseases, destroying
enjoyment and cultivating misanthropy
and WEAKNESS of life More frequent
ly the opulent than the industrious thus
suffer. Whatever dwarfs and enfeebes
the body and mind will curse the whole
race. There is necessity to call out
our powers and compel us to work. 1t
would soon be world UNI desirable to
live in, and the race would by the down.
ward course of revolution tread the
road back to apes or mollusks. The
man should be happy who has naturally
implanted within him a love of work.
Sch a man, with the other necessary
surroun ings right, is the really rich
man, and he ought to be happy. Labor
is healthy, invigorating, inspiring. and
is the best friend to man for his happi-
ness and full development in intellect
and stature. -IoWa State Register.

ANALYSIS of American HumOr.

l. American humor is something of its
own kind, as purely and peculiarly a
part of the United States as pumpkin
pie. We have among us the vivacity of
the French, the fun of the Irish,A the
graver mirth of the English and tie
epigrammatic expressiyeness OF sthe
Scotch; this curious mixture has made
our wit what it is, and every American
humorist shows the traces of it. If We
analyZe the elements of the distinctive
kind and sort of writing which passes
under the general head, we shall be sur
prised to see the resemblance among
themselves and their difference from all
other foreign species. Wesare born fol-
lowers of Baron Munchausen, and exag-
geratibn is at the bottom of the most of
our humor. When John Phoenix said
that he called out to the crowd on shore,
"Good-bv, Colonel and every able
bodied man in it raised his hat and
cried "Goad by, Colonel in response,
he touched the great nerve of American
humor; and when he stated that he held
the be- igerent editor down over the
press "bv means OF our nose. which we
had inserted between his teeth for this
purpose" he showed the second trait of
the characteristic comic writer
ludicrous juxtaposition and reversing
of ordinary ideas. And so, when Arte-
mus Ward says to the young man who
disturbs him in the theater: "Id ap-
pint your funeral tomorrow afternoon,
and the corpse should be ready" he
gives us the third feature, quaint phrase
oiogy and odd turns of dialect. In these
three points, then-exaggeration, lu-
dicrousness, and odd forms of speech
we find the distinctive peculiarities OF
our American wit.-Prof. s. W. Du6fetd,
;n N. Y. Independent.

Supply OF Hogs.

We think that neither the bulls nor
the bears, with all of their agencies or
guesses, can deceive the public as to the
great deficiency in the supply of hogs for
the fall and winter market. The great
scarcity and high price of corn in all of
the corn belt for twelve months has
caused farmers and feeders to hurry to
market all hogs which could be passed
off. And there has been a great re-
duction of the number of hogs kept for
breeding. This has been the case in
nearly all of the hog producing regions
of the United States, SO that the de-
ficiency will be at least thirty per cent
below last or the three previous years.
This will make a material difference in
the supply and demand. If all the
packers do not combine and establish
prices, the farmers may expect at least
no decline in prices from the present.
Corn last week, owing to the reliable
reports of the crop, advanced largely in
spite of all the bears could do. And
there is scarcely a possibility that the
deficiency in hogs can be made up in
the next sixteen months. The breeding
hogs and the corn to feed on are not IN
the country, and farmers can rely on
good prices for this and next falls hogs,
If the business of the country is not con-
trolled by an unholy combination And
with the facts so apparent it does not
seem possible that any perversion of
facts can possibly deceive any one. And
if all of the packers meet, as they usually
do, and determine on low figures, it
seems as if there ought to be an appeal
to Cesar, with all of the vim which
man has for self-defense.-Ioaca State

Our Young Folks.
TIMES And SEASONS.

There's time-the proverb tells us
For all things under the sun;
Even SO may be proper seasons
For goodwo to be done,
And for good words to be said.
In the fear lest or you
May miss the happy occasions,
Let US here note down few.
When the trees are heavy with leaves,
When the leaves lie underfoot,
When fruit on the board is frequent,
And while there is rnd or root;
When the rain comes down from the heavens,
When the sun comes after rain,
When the autumn fields are waving
With the weight of golden grain;
When the hills are purple with heather
When the fellS are black with cold,
When the larches are gay with their tassels
red,
When nuts are shriverd and old;
Whenever there's growth in the spring-time.
Or June close follows May,
And so long as the first of January
Happens on New-Years Day;
When mushrooms spring in the meadows,
Or toadstools under the trees.
When the gnats gyrate in the sunshine,
When the oak-boughs strain the breeze;
In the days of the cuckoo and swallow,
When the Sea-gulls flee the foam,
When the night-jar croons in the cleaning,
Or the owl goes silently home;
When the lake is placid mirror,
When the mountains melt in mist,
When the depths of the lake are rs pillars of
On a floor of amethyst;
When a rainbow spans the morning,
When the thunder rendS the night,
When the sDow on the hills is rosy red
With the blush of the wakening light;
When the soul is heavy with sadness,
When the tears fall d OPP by drop,
When the heart is glad as the heart of him
Who climbs to a mOuntain.tOp,
When youth unrols like a bracken-frond,
When age is grandly gray
As the de of a crag that is riven and SCARF
With the storms of yesterday
Believe that in all of these seasons
Some good may be done or said,
And whenever the loving thought and will
Are loving enough to wed;
And well is it with the happy heart
That hath thoroughly understood
How the time for all things under the sum-
Is always the time for good.
