The interesting feature of a plain

flowers begin to bloom; and that prairie
anomoly which gathers no moss. the
tumble weed, commences its peregrina-
lions. The. farther this distinguished
pioneer travels the poorer he becomes.

The Local Paper.

The benefits conferred by well
conducted local paper are seldom APP
preciated by the people who enjoy
them. Whether we consider it as
promoter of business prosperity, or
as moral and educational institu-
ton, it's real value is much greater
than that usually attributed to it
by those who ought to value it high.
est. No other business establish
ment contributes as much toward
the upbuilding of town, and no
other business man is called upon to
do as much gratuitous work in the
interest of his neighbors and the
public as it's editor. The amount of
free advertising done in the local
paper in the course Of a year is
simply enormous. Every church
festival, every school exhibition, the
meeting of the sewing circles, mite
societies, masonic and other lodges,
village officials, church and school
boards, and promiscuous gatherings
of all kinds are duly announced
without charge. If such announce
ments were paid for, even at
half rates, the publishers income
would be materially increased. But
these are nothing as compared with
the free advertising in behalf of
projected railrods, turnpikes, and
public improvements in general.
Few men, it seems, are capable Of
correctly estimating the obligation
Of the community to the local paper
and its editor. The masses accept
the benefits and the services as mat
ters of course. When hef has paid
the subscription price the average
subscriber appears to think the ac-
count balanced. Indeed, there are
those who appear to think they are
doing an extremely generous thing
to pay for their papers at all. They
seem to think the editor ought to
be grateful for his proper dues.
They regard the paying of their
subscriptions as the doing of a
charitable deed. and this, like other
charities, is generally performed
very grudgingly. They do not think
of the beneficial effects upon the
business interests of the place, in
which every member of the conf
,munity shares, produced by the pub

THE FARM.
Don't Work Too Hard,

Farmers wives as general thing
work entirely too hard. Let them
moderate their labors the proper
ton of their strength, and even
if help has to be obtained to make
up the defect, it were surely better
than to wear out prematurely from
exposure and overwork, and leave
your children at a tender age with.
out a mothers care. A good wem-
an, with good husband, can be
happier nowhere than on farm ;
but let not sense of duty in the
one, nor false economy in the 9TH
er, deprive the wife of all needed as.
sistance. 1t is far better to enjoy
life in old age with your children
than to lave shaved through life
to leave them fortune, while you
lay down in a premature grave, ere
life's great tasks be fully done. Let
the duties and responsibilities usu-
ally devolved upon farmers wives
be lessened, and furnish abundant
help for the work to be done.
