Have you never gone TO town twice,
where, if you had put your wits together,
you could have accomplished everything
at one time? Have you never done one
errand when you might, just as well as
not, have done two? Do you always
have everything ready for harvesting,
stacking, and threshing, SO that you lose
none Of this very valuable time in doing
work that mig ght as we'll have been done
at some other time? Do you never do
any kind Of work when labor is worth
three dollars per day that you might just
as well have done in the Spring, when it
was scarcely worth one dollar and half,
or in the Winter when it was not worth
oneadollar per day? A great many peo-
pie think they must lay idle during the
winter months It is mistake. You
will find plenty Of work to do at all sea-
sons of the year if you are only willing
to do it; and the farmer who spends his
rainy days in idleness is not on the high
way to success.


Economic your strength, tor it is
money also. Remember that the we'll
directed blow is worth three or four
hap-hazard blows A little thought
some times will do far more than phYsi-
cal labor Our farmers do not think
enough. Remember that if you overdo
your strength to-day you are only draw
ing upon the future, and there will sure
ly be a pay day. day Of reckoning
with compound interest. No money
loaner is so constituencies and so terri
bly, inexorable and unrelenting in ex-
acting the last farthing Of principal and
interest as our own bad habits and in
discretions. They are the Shylocks that
demand their pound Of flesh, that de-
mand blood and life itself, and get it
every time.


There is much more we would say
upon this subject, but this article is al
ready too long. Many will say these
things are too trifing to merit serious
consideration. Well, there is your

The Anti-Monopohst says: "We are
glad to indorse all that the ADVANCE
says of Judge Wilder's honesty, ability,
and respectability." We are more than
grati6ed with this cordial and earnest
endorsement of Judge Wilder's pre-emi-
nent qualifications to represent the
second district in Congress. But the
Antj-Monopol!st gently chides US for
mentioning the fact that Judge Wilder
is by all means the best man in the dis.
trict for that position, and for showing
just what his qualifications are. If We
had overdrawn his merits by 50 much
as a hairs breadth, we should cheerful
ly acknowledge that our action was liza
BILE to objection, but we can see no i'm
propriety whatever in pointing out to
the people men upon whom they can
rely in every emergency, and under all
circumstances.


We are as heartily opposed to "set-
ting up pins as the Anti-Monopolist is,
but would consider ourselves Aagrantly
derelict in duty, if knowing man to
be in every way qualified for high
official position shortly to be filled, we
did not point that man out.


But while we consider the Ants-Mo-
nopolist little. hypercriticalin this mat
ter, we pass it by, for after the 9th of
September next we shall undoubtedly
join hands with it in placing Judge
Wilder in a position which he is so
highly qualified to fill, if he will only
accept it. At present the Judge is
away from home and has not the remot-
est idea that the people Of the Second
District are talking about making him
their next representative in Congress.
| The only question is, will ne accept it?

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher writes to

merchant named Burnett, withdrew
from literature some years since, and

which another brilliant literary man,
the poet Willes, used TO say he would
like to have been born to, evidently
meaning in his simplicity, that it was
not very arduous avocation. Poor rich
Mr. Gilmore found it too much for him,
however, as many others have. Whether
drink led him into bad ventures, or bad
ventures into drink, I am not Informed,

Go ye and look upon that land, That far vast land that few behold, And one beholding understanding That old, old land which men call new Go journey with the seasons through Its wastes, and learn how limitless The solemn silence of that plain Is, oh' 50 eloquent. The blue And bending skies seem built for it, And all else seems yesterday, An idle tale but lilly told. It's history is of God alone, For man has lived and gone away And left but little heaps of stone. Lol here you learn how more than it And digniied is silence, when You hear the petty jeers of men. Its awful solitudes remain Thenceforth for aye a part of you, And you have learned your littleness. Some silent red men cross your track; Some sun-tanned trappers come and go <; Some rolling seas of buffalo Break thunder like and far away Against the foothills, breaking back Like breakers of some troubled bay; Some white-tailed antelope blown by So airy like; some foxes shy And shadow-ike move to and fro Like weavers' shuttles as you pass; And now and then from out the grass You hear some lone bird cluck, and call A sharp, keen call for her lost brood, That only makes the solitude Seem deeper still, and that is all. That wide domain of mysteries And signs that men misunderstood; A land of space and dreams 8 land Of sea-salt lakes and dried-up seas A1and of caves and caravans And lonely wells and pools; land That hath its purposes and plans, That seems 30 like dead Palestine, Save that it's wastes have no conf1ne, Till pushed against the leveled skies land from out whose depGhs shall rise The new time prophets the domain From out whose awful depths shall come, All olad in skins, with dusty feet, A man fresh from his Makers hand, A singer singing oversweet, A charmer charming very wise; And then all men shall not be dumb Nay, not be dumb, for he shall say, "Take heed, for prepare the way For weary feet" and from this land The Christ shall come when next the race Of man shall look upon his face

1t is amusing to read the efforts Of
those journals that stand by GRANT
for the third term or for life, to explain
away the heavy Republican loss sus-
tanned in the recent elections in the
East. They tell of "off years.
"apathy of the people,'," third par
ties" monopoly influence" and a
dozen other influences that worked
Republican defeat, but they. never
touch on the true cause or causes.
They might say, the third term ques-
tion and the refusal of the President
to deny that he is candidate for re-
election, was strangling the Republi-
can party; but to do this would be to
tell the truth and run counter to the
wishes of, the President-which must
not be done. They might say that the
miserable policy of the Administra-
tion toward the South and the outra-
geous attempts to manufacture politi-
cal capital from the miseries of an
abused and suffering people, are loads
that no respectable party can carry
and win a race; but to do so would be
saying that GRANT was failure, and
this must'not be said by journals that
have been taught to maintain that the
king can do no wrong.

About one inch of rain fell in the
city and valley on Sunday morning.
So much rain at this season of the year
is unusual and unexpected. We have
made considerable inquiry as to the
effect on the different industries, and
find that on the whole more harm
than good has been done. On the
crap, a considerable rain has
the effect to soften the. skin and
cause it to burst open, after which,
unless the grapes are picked and used
in short time, they become sour and
VIII not make good wine. So far,
however, not enough rain has fallen
to produce this result. The citrons


fruits are not, of course, injured. The
rain has benefited the orange and
lemon trees to the extent of washing


the dust from the leaves. The dried
grass on which the stock, especially
sheep, live at this season of the year,
is seriously damagedAtotally destroy
ed, some sheep men tell us-while not
a sufficient quantity of rain has fallen
to start and continue the growth of
the new crop of grass. An inch of
rain at this season of the year in Los
Angeles valley is not good. 1t causes
more damage than it produces benefits.

The personnel Of the juries impaneled in
our district courts has already been the
occasion of remark. The admirable pro-

nearly all of the courts, and nowhere in
the Union can such juries be impaneled.
Seven hundred and fifteen names have thus
far been placed in the wheel. and 358 drawn
out. There now remain 357 names, and
from them juries will be drawn for three of
the civil courts. Our best citizens can spec
ulate whether theirs will appear on the list.

Court or the sherif's deputies will have to
be more careful. Goldin Robinson was

ceny, and was not on bond. An order Of

offense. which the Jurisdiction Of the court
included, discharged him. But he should
have pleaded to a charge Of carrying q con-

Court yesterday, and when the time came
he was non est. The order in the larceny

The eighty and 125 foot-lines were at

others to toy-balloons covered with colored
cambric. It is now seen that the current
at forty feet and 100 feet deep is the swift.

passage showed where each current was
passing, ard was a very amusing as well as
instructive work. The General says sit
beat a horse race, and then lasted over two
hours. Each float was Of different color,
and as the green jacket would pass the red
jacket, and then the yellow jacket forge
ahead of each, then new squirt for the
green jacket would take it ahead, and they
would jockey, and take cut-offs, while the
deep current fellows would move steadily
on. The current proved to be five feet
per second, or 3.42 miles per hour, and the
river is but little over two feet below the
extreme high water mark. We understand
these experiments will be repeated from
Carrollton to the Barracks, that the
direction and force of the current at top
and bottom, for the whole front of the city,
can be known.
