NYNgpS in Russia

A correspondent of the London Times
writing from the black lands of Russia
about the scarcity OF labor in that region,
says that the laborer's ordinary wages are
from forty to fifty copecks (twenty five to
thirty cents) daily; bnt at harvest time, or
when the field is to be dug for beet root,
the landlord finds it extremely difficult to
procure laborers even at two or three rubles
day, and he declares he would rather paw
that high wages to one efficient laborer than
to four such lazy hounds as he can muster
In the neighborhood. OF the northern
peasants, reported to be yearly focking
from their comparatively barren lands to
these fertile southern fields, hardly any
make their Appearance, except carpenters
and other mechanics, who, however useful
in their several capacities, are of no avail
Whatever as field hands. The distress for
reapers and plowmen have waxed so great
that the government has had to come to the
the landowners rescue by allowing the SOL
diers quartered in the garrisons to lend
their hands at the rate of one ruble daily for
each man, their employer having to feast
and entertain the officers in the bargain.
But, although as many as $4,000 men from
the nnks have been told off in the province
OF Padolia alone to make themselves useful
on better ground than the battlefield, the
supply of labsr is still wholly inadequate to
the demand

War Stories.
Washington Cor. N. Y. Times.

Washington Cor. N. Y. Iimes.
held down chair in party few even
ings since in which Colonel Hatch, of Han
nibal, Mo-, who served in the rebel army.
and some ex- Union soldiers were relating
war stories. The colonel, who is now a
member of congress, told many good
yarn, but none that interested me more
than some of the gloomy days of the Con-
federacv during the winter of 1864. He
said they had by some means gotten hold
of bundle of Chicago papers, in one of
which they found paragraph saying that
some Of the farmers on the great prairies
OF Illinois had been forced to burn com for
fuel, on account of its cheapness and the
high price Of coal. He said the paragraph
had more interest for them at that time
than all the other contents Of the papers,
and it was generally shown about and dis
cussed through the camp. II remember, y
said the colonel "hew sombody said:
What's the use of fighting people who are
burning corn for fuel, while we are count
ing it out by the grain?' and we pretty near
all agreed with him.
Well, " said one of the Union men, Il re-
member when We took one of your men
prisoners at Charlottesville, and they
told us they hadn't had anything to eat for
two days. we thought, What's the use of
lighting men who can fight like this without
eating anything?"

The sto,nach.

The stomach is the best friend Of man.
but he uses it as if it was his worst enemy.
It is supposed to hold about three pints,
but if man can't put four quarts in it he
feels disappointed and hungry"
When man gets hold Of anything he
don't know what to do with he puts it in his
stomach and takes all the risks. And he
never learns any better, though he suffers
the torments Of the unblest ever after.
1t is generally considered that the
stomach is q hopper into which anything
can be thrown, with the assurance that the
digestive machinery will take care of it.
This is not go. Fried shingle nails and
fncaseed hair pins will not assimilate with
he human system any easier than leathery
flap jacks or lobster salad and milk.
1t is erroneous to suppose that when the
stomach is packed with solid food Of seveno
teen different varieties it is capable of hold
ing several quarts Of different sorts Of Ii.
quid. 1t will fail to make G comfortable
feeling swill tub of itself
THE older stomach grows the tougher
it is, is an error. A ten-year old stomach
will get away with green apples and peanuts,
shells and all, while a forty year old stom-
ach will simply get away with itself and all
that's in it.
1t is useless to attempt to pave the in
side of the stomach with conglomarate.
Nothing but the best Belgian pavement
should be used and that should be thor
oughly nastcated. You can eat Belgian
Just as safely as you can eat q thousand
things that you do eat.
In making q beer vat of your stomach,
under the impression that you will thus
become walking brewery. you will find
Gut your mistake. You will merely put on
bay window which will be expensive to
live up to.
A sea voyage is an excellent revelation Of
the capacity of the stomach. There is no
danger of losing it altogether in the process,
though you frequently feel the fastenings
bresk. A few hours on land will bring it
to its hungry"
The first thinga man does when his
stomach feels bad is to put some medicine
in it to make it feel worse. He is looking
abcnt for the happy contrast when it will
possibly feel better.
The more medicine man puts into his
stomach the more that organ seems to crave,
and the more money the patent medicine
! man gets to circ1..atta his Unlocking por-
trait III the newspapers.
Occasionollya a stomach is obliged 10 go.
empty. If those who overfeed themselves
were obliged to ELL these empty stomachs
with the surplus they eat and don't need
there would be no starvation in these
parts.
Don't mistake your stomach for rscep-
tacle of everything that tastes good, butuse
it nationally, treatit to gentle doses Of
strength giving, nutritious food. moderate
quantities of mild drink, exhilarating ex-
ercise, little fresh air occasionally, and
you will reach that happy elevation Of good
health and spirits which will render you
totally obliyious Of tho fact that you have q
stomach at all. A man who is thoroughly
aware Of the presence OF his stomach is not
well.

THE GOLDEN ROD.

And were to be bride of morn,
-, While the chimes rung out, I'd say
mo roses red but the golden rod,
Strew in my path to-day;
And let it brighten the silent aisle,
And flame on the altar stair,
Til the slory and light of the fields ahsll food
The solemn dimness there.'
And should atsep in my shroud at eve,
Not lilies pale and cold,
But the purple asters OF the wood,

That time and change defes;
and asters CLEAN through the autumn az
