Advice to a Young Man.

And then remember, my SON., you
have to work. Whether you handle a
pick or a pen, a wheelharrow or a set of
books, digging bitches or editing a pa
per, ringing an auction bell or writing
funny things, you must work. If you
look around, my son, you will see the
men who are the most able to live the
rest of their days without work are men
who work the hardest. Don't be afraid
OF killing yourself with overwork. It
istbeyond your power to do that, on the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but it's because they quit work
at SIX in the evening and don't get
home until two in the morning. It's
the internal that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for your
meals, itlends solidity to your SAUNDERS,
it gives you a perfect and grateful APP
probation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work, my son,
but the world is not proud of them. 1t
does not know their names, even; it
simply speaks of them as oldSo-and-so's
boys. Nobody likes them; the great,
busy world doesn't know that they are
there. So find out what you want to be
be and do, my son, and take off your
coat and make a dust in the world.
The buster you are, the less deviltry
you will be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the better
satisfied will the world be with you.-
TBurdette.

Henry n. Copp, in his 'Land Laws"
evidently had reference to Dakota, in
this advice to emigrants: when you
seek a new country, go to a country
whose officials appreciate churches and
schools; where taxpayers perceive the
fact that everydollar spent in education
and religion is a saving of two dollars
on the jail and lA~nitentiary; where
newspapers are numerous a%ndlibraries
have been started, and literary, temper.
ance and other societies are encouraged
by the leading citizens. In the sparse.
ly settled regions of the other terrific
ries where society isnot fully organized.
much cannot be expected in the matter
Of education and religion, but the tone
and sentiment of the people MAY be
taken as a sure index Of the future"
The treasury department has issued
the following circular in regard to
claims for back pay and bounty: The
steady increase in the number of claims
for back pay and bounty, and conse.
quent delay in their settlement, has
produced great pressure to have such
claims made special" A compliance
with numerous requests made fol
claims settled out of the order of theil
reception would work great injustice
to a large and worthy class Of claimants
who have not the influence themselves
and no influential friends to solicit fav-
ors on their behalf. It is believed that
proper regards for the rights Of all par
ties requires claims of the character
mentioned to be examined and disposed
of in the order Of their filing in this Of
fee, exceptions being made only when
the party interested is in INDECENT cir
cumstances and positively suffering for
pecuniary aid, or when some other
equally good and sufficient reason shall
exist for exception, the facts %justifying
exception being certified upon the per-
sonal knowledge OF a responsible party
or established by proof. 1t is ordered
accordingly.

Husband, father, engaged in your
worldly pursuits, amassing wealth for
the future comfort of your wife and
little ones, touch not the wine cup to
urge you to greater labor. Within lies
a deadly foe concealed, waiting but to
wind its coils about you, and bind you
SO close that hands and feet will be
STAYED in their work, and while the
gold you have won now will be squan-
dered, and Goals of fire pillow the heads
Of your loved ones, insteadof the gilden
couches Of your dreams.

The Extent of Dakota and Consequen
Variations in Climate.

N v LII o-1A1iSaLC.t H "#..
The majority Of eastern people so far
fail to appreciate the vast extent of
Dakota as to suppose that the same
kind of weather prevails in all parts OF
the territory. When a Manitoba biz
zard strays ver the British line and
kick the bottom out of thermometers in
north Dakota u eastern friends ex-
tend to us in South Dakota their SYM
pathy, supposing that we too are suffer-
ing because, forsooth, we live in Dako-
ia. man would hardly feel anxiety
about his friends in central Tennessee
because q blizzard was reported from
northern Illinois yet such a case would
be as reasonable as the other. From
Yaakton to the northern boundary of
the territory it is about 4UO miles; equal
to the distance from Chicago to Nash
vile, Tenn, and in such a range of lat
itude there will of course be great diff
ference Of climate. It must be remem-
bered that Dakata with an area of 15O-
900 square miles is as large as three or
four ordinary states and consequently
can afford a considerable variety of eli
mate, soil and productions. The man
who visits only northern Or central Da-
kota, knows no more perhaps, Of south
ern Dakota than he would know of
Michigan by 8 visit to Ohio. Yankton
county is III soil, climate and all natur-
al advantages equal to the best county
Of Iowa or Illinois, and yet the best of
land can now be purchased here at from
five 10 tn dollars per acre according to
location.

The postal service was last year
self-suprorting only in fifteen states
and two terrltorries-the latter being
Alaska and Dakota. Ohio showed a
deficit of sS43O,163, while Illinois paid
a profit of $S62,319. Not a dollar Of
postal revenue was ever received from
q state south Of Mason and Dixon's

Character mt Home.

Home life Is the sure test of char
acter. Let the husband grow cross
and surly, and the wife grows cold
and unamiable, The children grow
up saucy and savage as young bears.
The father becomes callous, peevish,
hard, kind of two-legge1 brute
with clothes on. The wife bristles
in self.defense. They develop an
unnatural growth and sharpness Of
teeth, and the house is haunted by
ugliness and domestic brawls. This
is not what the family circle should
be. If one must be rude to any, let
1t be some one he does not love mot
to his wife, brother or parent. Let
one of the loved ones be taken away,
and memory recalls a thousand say
ings of regret. Death quickens re-
collections painfully. The grave
cannot hide the white faces Of those
who sleep; the coffin and the green
ground are cruel magnets. They
draw US farther than we would 60.
They force us to remember. A man
never sees SO far into human life as
when he looks over wife's or
mothers grave. His eyes get won
drous clear then, and he sees, as
never before, what it is to love and
be loved, what it is to injure the
feelings of the loved. 1t Is pitiable
picture Of human weakness when
those we love best are treated
worst.

Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, 1t Is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to a joyful sound
But shrink from yoicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and 60.

Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
