From E. B. Merriam.

Topeka, Kansas, April /, 1890.
DEAR EDIToRs:-A line from me will per-
haps be of interest to your readers among
many of my old friends in Vermont. We are
much more pleasantly situated here than
ever before, and business is good. / am glad
to say to you and my friends in Vermont
that in twenty years | have not enjoyed bet
ter health, which in itself alone has paid me
to come to this beautiful climate We do not
forget our old friends in the East, but we all
like here, and could not think ever again of
living in that cold country, Vermont. Our
gardens are made, and we are having beauti-
full spring now. Our Oldest son, Frank, will
graduate at the Law School at Lawrence
Kan, in June. Our two boys younger are
hard at work in their studies at Washburn
College Topeka, which is near our home.
There is money in farming on a large scale
in Kansas. Choice land in fine locations can
be bought at S15 to S25 per acre, Corn can
be raised eheaply, and one man can easily
care for 100 acres; it is worth now only 16
cents, while pork and fat cattle are of
much value and quick sale in Vermont.
We have had no winter to speak of-only, |
think, two mornings that we have had any
sleighs, and at noon the snow would be gone
Usually two classes of people come West
those who have n surplus of funds, and
those who have not made a SUCCESS in the
East. Both usually do we'll. | called on
]. w Carpenter, formerly of johnson. Vt, a
few days ago, at Clay Center, Kan. He told
me he raised last year II, 900 bushels of oats
is feeding 102 large steers for market, has
100 head of other cattle and 80 choice horses
that he has raised, and all on his farm of 4S0
acres He has lately built new house, which
is very nice. Both George and DeForest Full
lington, formerly of Cambridge, VT. are at
Clay Center and are well off, also many other
Lamoille county men, mostly from Eden, and
all doing we'll
Our city is growing very fast, We have
now 50. 900 people, and five years ago only
about %, 900. We expect within five years
to have fully 100, 900. as now Topeka is too
large to stop growing There is always a
good demand for money in a growing city
like ours at good rates of interest, and can
be placed on real estate that is as safe as any
possibly can be in this world, desirable
property is advancing and in good demand:
Nothing can be better than choice farm loans
in eastern Kansas wisely placed. The trouble
is, so many land agents here make loans on
property they do not see and examine, and 1T
sometimes makes trouble. On good loans
the interest is in almost every case promptly
paid semi-annually,
We wish to be remembered to all our friends
in Lamoille county.

From this sad life and all its woes
The hand of death hath set thee free;
Upon thy brow is sweet repose,
Thy lips are smiling peacefully.
All sure, some heavenly dreams begin
To dawn upon thy soul within,
But living eye can never see
The change that Death hath wrought in thee
The mind all weary and distressed,
Confused and sore dismayed,
Hath felt the Great Physicians touch.
And heard the words . Be not afraid"
Our dearest aud our BEST we give thee up
And drain in faith and love the bitter cup,
Well knowing that the grave cannot discover,
Those hearts whom God untes forever.

When you get a cinder or speck in
dust or other offensive particle OF
your eye, don't rub it. Don't touch
it. Don't pull down the lid. Don't
put your hand near it. Let it alone.
This is very hard advice to follow,
and in nine cases out of ten you will
find yourself rubbing your eye before
you know it. But if you can refrain
from touching your eye at all the ac-
ton of that organ will itself cast out
the offending mote in much quicker
time, atnd with far less irritation,
while your efforts would only hinder
it and perhaps fasten the intruder so
that it would stay a long time, OF
course fit is particle of metal you
will consult a surgeon or ocuiist at
once; but ordinary substances are
best treated as above indicated. Some
people say Grub the other eye," but
this is of no use.-Good Housekeep-
ing.
