The world is not so bad world


As some would like TO make it;
Though whether good, or whether bad,
Depends on how we take ii.
And il we scod and fret all day,


From dewy morn till even,
This world will ne 'er afford to man
A ioretasie here oil Heaven.
This world in truth s as good world
As e'er was known 10 any
Who have not seen another yet,


And these are very many
And il the men and women loo,


Have plenty OF employment,
Those surely must be hard 10 please,


Who cannot find enjoyment. ~
This world is quite clever world,


In rain or pleasant weather,
lf people would but learn 10 live


In harmony together;
Nor seek to burst the kindly bond,


BY love and peace cemented,
And learn that best OF lesson yet,


To always be contented.
Then were the world pleasant world,
And pleasant folks were init,
The days would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it,
And all the nameless grievances


Brought on by borrowing troubles,
Would prove as certainly they are,


A mass of empty bubbles.

DOMESTIC LovE.-He cannot but be a
happy man who has the love and smile of
women to accompany him in every depart
ment of life. The world may look cheer
less and dark without, enemies may gather
in his path but, when he returns to the
fireside, he forgets his cares and troubles,
and is comparatively happy man. He is
but half prepared for the journey of lie
who takes not with him that friend who will
forsake him in no emergency, who will ti.
vide his sorrows, increase his joys, lift the
veil from his heart, and throw sunshine
amid the darkest scenes No, that man
cannot be miserable who has such a COM
panion, be he ever so poor, despised and
trodden upon by the world.

Four THOUSAND DOLLARS LOST AND FOUND


The Newark Advertiser says:-A gentle.
man living in Market street, while on his
way in an omnibus from the Morris and
Essex depot 10 his home, a few days since,
laid package containing $4,000 on the
seat beside him, wlSah be was intending
10 deposit in the bank, and had marked,
'$l 1000 TO be deposited in-Bank." On
leaving the omnibus he forgot it and when
he recalled it to mind the stage was gone.
The only other inmate was gentleman
going 10 the Centre street depot, on his way
to New York. After an hours search the
omnibus was found, but the driver, boy,
said he had seen nothing of the money he
also told the gentleman that the other
passenger was at the depot, waiting for a
train. The gentleman haslened thither and
fortunately found his late companion, when
the latter told him that he had picked up
the package, and seeing lis endorsement,
had taken it 10 the bank. On going to the
bank the gentleman found his money all
safe. The name of his companion was not
ascertained. 1t is certainly remarkable
case of honesty.

I Stick to your own paper, though it may
no! be SO large or imposing as some city
weekly bat remember it is the advertiser
of your neighborhood and daily business,
and tells you what is going ON around
| you, instead OF thousand miles away
If it is not printed on as nice paper as the
city weeklies, and as good as you wish to
have it, pay your subscription promptly
and get your neighbors TO do the same, and
rely upon it, the natural pride of the pub.

as possible. e."-Nortcak (Ohio) Experiment.


The above is sound and true doctrine,
but it is a amentable fact that too many
men act upon = different idea and
subscribe for city papers, leaving those of
their own county TO get along as best they
can, with a meagre and insufficient sup
port. The Greensburg Democrat says every
intelligent: public spirited citizen ought 10
feel interest enough in the affairs of his
own county papers first; giving it the pref
erence to which it is justly entitled, because
it is devoted to the interests of the county,
which are 10 greater or less extent his in.
terests. Yet there are to-day hundreds of
intelligent men, who contribute nothing to
the encouragement of their home presses.
There is not one of them, we presume, who
would not acknowledge that home papers
are useful, and ought TO be sustained but
still, if asked 10 subscribe for one of them,
his ready excuse is, that he cannot spare
the money, or else, that he already takes a
city paper, and caRnot afford TO take anoth.
er. The practice OF persons is incon.
sistent with their professions, for, while ad-
mitting the value of home papers, they
neglect TO support them; losing sight of the
fact, that if every Que else acted on the
same principle, the country press would
soon cease 10 have existence.


Viewing the matter rightly, no thrifty
wide awake farmer, or business man can
afford TO do witkOut good home paper Its
regular weekly reports of The markets, are
alone worth more than the paper costs him.
He has the satisfaction, besides, of know.
ing everything of interest that transpires in
his own county, which he can learn from
no other source so readily and reliably. In-
deed, if it were not for the county papers
he could not learn the news of his county
at all, though he is a subscriber to city
paper, for the city papers, Notwithstanding
their unwillingness to admit the fact, are
hel oi,iieioes iildeoy ~ si.s country papers
for much of The country news which grace
their columns. Then, if there is any enter.
prise undertaken for the benefit of the coun.
ty, it is the home press that is always expect
ed to advocate the project, and stir up pub
lie sentiment on the subject.


Is it not, Their, the duty,no less Than the
interest of every good citizen, TO support
home newspapers? And should not every
one, who is taking city paper, and not
sustaining those published in his own coun.
ty, resolve hereafter to give home industry
and enterprise The preference

The plans of the good merchant
were speedily arranged. He would
employ Leslie one year and allow him
to board in his family, thus giving him
the blessing of home. Mrs. NJ. en-
tered heartily into her husbands plans,
and our wandercr began a new life
with heart swelling with gratitude
and repentance, with courage and
hope. The thought of his distant
home, and the heart treasures it con-
tanned, checred him in his hours of la
Dor, and when evening came he found
by the quiet fireside of his employer,
comfort and peace. Oh how he longed
to send over the waters one missive,
full of the brcathings of his affection,
and longings for forgiveness a? But
his benetactor had advised him to wait
until the time Of his trial was past
and he should be confident of success !;
should be certain that his reform
was thorough and complete. Leslie
felt the justice Of his friends remark,
and was satisfied to know that ere
another summer, golden-haired Kitty
and wee Willie would come to dwell
with him in an American home.


The year Of Harry Lcslc's trial is

As the recent elections of New
Hampshire and Connecticut have de-
monstrated the entire d" Repulicanism"
of the Northeastern States, and the
utter hopclcssness of any favorable
change of opinion in that inimical
quarter, there is scarcely doubt as
to the course the South Ought to take
for safety in the coming movements
Of this country. In our view the
slave States should rally in mass un-
der the standard Of the Democratic
party, planted as it is in the sound
principles of the Constitution. We
believe that it is best to arrange for
the contest in 1860 upon the plans and
policy and under the modes and
usages of the Democracy heretofore,
TO nominate its candidates, and to
prevent, as far as possible, the forma-
ton of other parties that may in any
wise withdraw any power from the
full expression of Southern opinion on
a direct issue with the Black Re
publican" forces of the North.


We can scarcely entertain thought
that there is the least probability that
any free State will cast its vote for
any Democratic nominee. yet we find
some of our contemporaries at the
South still in the hope that some coun-
tervalling advantage may be gained
in the Northwestern States to over
balance the entire loss vi the North
east Having already lost New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, and with no
hope of any assistance from Pennsyl-
vania or New York, or indeed of any
/ free Atlantic State, they still believe
that, by cultivating, as far as possible,
cordial political and reciprocal com
mercial relations with those States of
the Northwest that sympathize with
the South in the mutual interests OF
domestic and foreign trade, they may
be SO far won to Southern support as
to insure the triumph of the Democrat
ic party in the next contest.


This were, indeed, magnificent
policy. 1t ought to have been adopt
ed many years ago, and we would be
glad to believe that any argument
could he made, now or hereafter, tha,
would not only demonstrate, but con
vince the people of the great Wes
that their interests were bound firm
ly with the South, not only by the di
versity of pursuits, but BY the natural
ligaments and features of physical &c
! ography that the Mississippi River
and its tributaries are the great geo.
graphical arteries that pour out the

trade and agriculture of that immense

this in the light of truth, could they

How APACHE WHISKY is MADE-A cores
pondent of the Arizonian, at Apache Pass, gives
the following account of the manner in which
the Indians of this region manufacture their
"disquin," or "tisween," an intoxicating liquor
of extraordinary ferocity:


The corn is first soaked for twenty-four hours
hole is then dug in the ground, generally in a
wigwam, and somedry grass laid on the bottom
on this grass the corn is placed, and a layer. OF
grass over it. Four or five times a day, warm
water is sprinkled over the corn, and at night
the family sleep on it, to increase the warmth
and make the corn sprout quick. At the end
of four or five days, the corn is all sprouted; it
is then dried and podnded fine, put in a kettle
and boiled for five hours; when cooled, it is
mixed with sugar and -four, and left to ferment
for twelve hours, when it is ready for drinking
Although not rank to the taste, and fiery, its
intoxicating power is very great, and when an
Indian has quart or two ON board, he don't
care copper who is President of the United
States.

No Use FOR TRowsERs.-On the morning of
the meteoric shower in 1888, old Peyton Rob-
erts, who intended making an early start to his
work, got up in the midst of the display On
going to his door, he saw with amazement the
sky lighted up with falling meteors, and he con-
cluded at once, that the world was ON fire and
the day of judgment had come


He stood for a moment gazing in speechless
horror, sprang out of the door in the midst of
the falling stars, and began series of ground
tumbling that would have done honor to a rope
dancer His wife being awakened in the mean
time, and seeing old Peyton jumping and skip
ping about the yard, called out to him to know
what in the name o sense he was doin' out thar
dancin' round without his clothes But Pey-
ton heard not; the judgment and the long black
account he would have to settle, made him heed
less of all things terrestrial and his wife becom-
ing alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of bed
and running to the door, shrieked out at the top
of her voice:


"Peyton, say, Peyton, what do you mean
jumpin' about out thar? Come in and put your
trousers on"


Old Peyton, whose fear had nearly overpow-
cred him, family answered, as he fell sprawling
on the earth
