Ed. CHIEF: As you get letters from
other places l thought you would like
to hear from here. The soil is a black
loan, no sand. The lands on the
creeks are called gulches and canyons.
In the canyons is where they NOV the
hay. The creeks have lots of nice
timber on them. The lands oft the
creeks are called table lands, because
it is SO level The land mostly Slopes
to the south. There is some mighty
fine land here. On the table lands
they have to go pretty deep for water,
but when they do they get good water.
The grazing here is buffalo grass on the
table land, and OH the creek and river
bottoms is blue grass. Homesteaders
are as thick as bees here, and they are
all ut work. Some building, some are
braking, and some are digging wells
Work is plenty and wages. high,
especially for carpenters. II you have
any idle carpenters send them out
here. EZRA House.

How Would Paint ar-Room.

G. A, in Husbandman.
If | had the adornment Of bar
room it should be done somewhat in
this wise: On one side | would paint
Death on the Pale Horse, his arm
welding the thunderbolt, the flying
hoofs of his fiery steed treading down
everything that is fair and lovely;
the Garden of Eden before him, a
blackened waste behind.
On the other hand / would draw
the picture of a wretched hovel-once
a happy home-the roof broken in,
the windows stuffed with rags-in the
doorway weeping wife with ragged
children clinging to her skirts pite-
Ously beseeching her for food. In the
distance should be seen the once hap
Ply husband and father, now a reeling
drunkard on his way home from the
village tavern to the hut he calls
home. Back of the bar, in full view
of the bloated creatures that stand
with the cups to their lips, / would
paint company of demons in the
dance of Fiendish Hilarity around a
fire kindled with the flames of alco-
hol, and over which | would write in
liVid lines: "MOderate drinking
lights the flames that Burns to the
Lowest He'll" Opposite the bar
should be a lonely and dishonored
grave. A lightning blasted tree
should stretch its leahess branches
over it, and on some withered bough
should perch the melancholy Owl
hooting to the winter moon. At the
foot of the grave should kneel the
Angel of Mercy with eyes and hands
appraised to plying heaven and at
the head of the grave should be the
Angel of Justice, carving with stern
and relentless hand on the tombstone
those fearful words of doom: "NC
drunkard shall enter the Kingdom OF
God" In the intervening spaces ]
would have: here a grinning skele-
ton, there broken heart, a shattered
hour-glass, stranded boat, a torch
eXtinguished in the blacl1ness of dark
ness; while from over the doorway
and from the ceiling should look
down all kinds of woeful faces-pale
imploring, wrathful-deadly' or de
spairing. The walls of the room
should be shrouded in sackcloth, anC
) the floor covered with ashes, and thu
bar wreated in weeping willow ant
t gloomy cypress, while all the vessels
that held the damning fluid shoulC
: be black as the gates of doom. Thel
: / would call the rumseller, if h,
would, to take his place behind tn
, bar; and, though a few besotteC
: wretches, hardened in crime, nigh
2 stagger up to the bar and drink def
ance to their fate, yet should hop
. that the young-the pride of mother
and light of homes-might turn ava.
