day.
His lanRuid step and his weary way,
dH beaded brow. and sinewy hand.
ALI showing his work for the good of the
land;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the good of the land.
By the kitchen FIRE stood his patient
Light Of his home and JOY of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands
band;
For she must boil.
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
ALI for the sake Of the home.
Sun shines bright when the farmer goes
ont,
Birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk
about,
The brook babbles softly in the glen,
While he works bravely for the good of
men;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the good Of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about with
The dishes to wash, and the milk to
skim.
The fires 60 out, flies buzz about
For dear ones at homo her heart is kept
stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake of the home.
When the day is DER and the evening
has come.
The creatures are fed and the milking is
done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade
tree,
From the labor Of the land his thoughts
are free;
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work Of the land.
But the faithful wife from sun to sun,
takes the burden up that's never done;
There is no rest, there is no pay,
For the household good she must work
away;
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here with chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last,
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he ns'er hath
care, ~
While it blows,
And il SHOWS,
Till the winter goes,
He rests from tho work of the land.
But the willing wife, till life's closing
day,
La the children's, tho husbands stay,
From day to day she has done her best.
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
In the farmers heavenly home.

Our Public School System.

Pursuant to announcement, Hon.
Zach. Montgomery appeared on the
Courthouse steps last evening and de-
ivered an eloquent discourse upon the
Decline of Parental Authority" Mr..
Montgomery handled his subject excel
lently, and, as he is very impressive
speaker, appeared to hold his audience
spellbound. The speaker read letter
written by Prof. John LIE Conte, of the
State University, who stated that a
lack of parental authority is one Of the
greatest evils that beset American indus
try" The speaker next described the
training of child from youth up, and eu-
logized the strong Influence of parental
control and affection. Connecting this
system of education with war, it was
shown that it made male children more
patriotic. Mr.. Montgomery then re-
ferred to the historical account of Corio.
Janus, and the exclamation of his moth.
err upon her sons death, that although
she had lost her son he had saved Rome
Several anecdotes, well repeated, served
to emphasize the object of the speaker,
who stated that the people are RESPONSE
BILE for the decline of parental authority,
as illustrated everywhere by nature.
Men should personally teach their chill
dren. or, if not competent, should
choose the place where they should be
educated. The father knows more about
his children and their proper education
than any one else, and knows for what
trade or profession they are fitted. The
honorable speaker here read an extract
from the existing law of California, by
which parent who does not send his
child to school the stipulated length Of
time every year would be fined $50 for
the first offense, up to $50 for subse-
quent ones. The speaker sarcastically
remarked that it would be as reasonable
to regulate matrimony.
A statistical statement Of the working
Of the two systems in various States was
then read, with the preponderance on
the side of parental education. After
discussing the question. docs it Pre-.

For a number Of years the United
States patent TO the San Bernardino
rancho of II, 763 acres, San Diego conn
ty, had been mislaid or lost, fact
which gave rise to litigation. and re-
tarded materially the sale Of land on the
rancho, which was to be subdivided.
The lost patent was found on Tuesday
last, however. in a singular manner. 1t
seems tina Il Mrs Grant, OF San Diego,
preparatory to a trip to San Francisco,
was burning some old papers, whom one
was caught by the winds and blown for
some distance. The lady picked it up
and brought it back, and out of femi-
nine curiosity looked at it, finding it to
be, to her great surprise, the lcng-lost
patent. signed and sealed. 1t was at
once returned to Hon. James Mccoy,
who formerly was the owner of the
rancho in question. The date of the
filing Of the patent was June 27, 1876,
and its recovery in such strange man
ner will quiet the title to the rancho, and
the original scheme to subdivide 1t and
sell to actual settlers will doubtless be
carried out, and this remarkable find
will prove Of benefit to our sister county.

Productive Land Little Known.

The valleys in the hills which align
the city on the west and north are being
gradually settled, as the long existing
prejudice which considered them worth
less except for stock or grain, is re-
moved The removal of this unjust
prejudice has only been partial as yet,
and that only by those who have seen
what those gentlemen, who have always
had fifth in these rich and valuable
lands, had accomplished, notably MessrF.
J. w. Potts, George H. Smith, 5. B.
Caswell and Andrew Glassell. Each of
these gentlemen have beautiful and
productive ranches, some Of which
are hidden away in the crooked
valleys in the hills, SO that they are not
seen from the main road, and therefore
the casual tourist or traveller knows little
about the capabilities of this section.
Mr. Potts raises splendid potatoes and
delicious deciduous fruit. Messrs. Glas-
sell and Smith devote their attention
mostly to grapes, which are doing re-
markab.y well for two-year-old vines,
and have made remarkable "stand. y
Mr.. Caswell also raises vines and trees
on his place in the hills near the rancho
Los Feliz. Others raise an assortment
of vegetables crops year, accord
| ing 20 season-and, being constant
ly on the place, except when
marketing their products, enables
them to keep everything ship-shape, and
are rapidly acquiring competency.
Similar locations are to be found in many
sections, where, as in these hills, the ar
able land is so secluded as to be almost
entirely exempt from frost, and entirely
SO from strong winds. They are among
our most valuable, but as yet. little
known lands. Any one who will take
the trouble to inspect them, can easily
ascertain their productive value.

Land Purchases in San Bernardino

In an item clipped from the San Der
nardino Times, published in yesterdays
HERALD, the fact was noted that Mr..
+. H. Barclay, of this city, has pur-
chased an interest in the Muscupiabe
Rancho, in that county. From the sub
Joined items from the San Bernardino
fndcr it will be seen that Mr.. r. N. G.
Wilson, Of this city, has purchased two
tracts in the Cajon Pass, adjoining the
Muscupiabe Rancho:
''John Hancock has sold to Mr.. Will
son, OF Los Angeles, the fine ranch

known as Martins Station 1t is really

we hear that Mr.. Wilson is about to Sc

1890 it will be populous and prosper
GUS section of the county. There are
no finer fruit lands anywhere than in
this section. and with engineering skill
there is water enough to irrigate every
foot of them.
"Mr. Wilson, OF Barclay & Wilson. a
Los Angeles legal firm, has purchased
the Gable ranch, in the Cajon Pass, for
the reported sum Of $1,000. This is q
fine property, were it properly devel
oped, which we learn Mr.. Wilson pro
poses to do to the fullest extent Semi.
tropical culture, of course, will be the
leading feature in its development
Raisin grape business will be actively
entered upon, and a finer field for il
hardly exists anywhere. The foothil

the fnder pointed out repeatedly, they

ises very large earnings. 1t starts
through a country in which timber is
plentiful for stretch of sixty miles,
and then traverses for 100 miles or more
country where there is absolutely no
timber at all, and where much timber is

towns through which it passes. 1t will
cross large coal area, which article is
so requisite in mining region where
smelling works abound. 1t will also
pass through the copper deposits of the
country east of the Verde, and is within
easy distance Of great many fertile lit.
tie valleys now being rapidly occupied by
Mormon and Gentle farmers. 1t will run
through the gold district of the East
Verde. the silver regions of the Tonic,
the agricultural lands of Salt River, and
the silver, lead, gold and copper veins
of the Globe District. Between the
Mazatzal and White Mountains and
Globe are many fine ranches, and it is
