Nv SORROW
When thou art sorrowful and cares around
When thou believst cen brightest things can


lend


The saddest echo to the gayest lays


As men of old were led with angels food,


Go, seek thy remedy in doing good.
When those to thee the dearest shall have died
And each fresh day grows weary TO thine eyes;
When every hope that others build upon
Comes to thy senses with sad surprise


Take up the burden of another's grief


Learn from another's pain thy woes relief.
Mourner, believe that sorrow may be bribed


With tribute from the heart, not signs nor


tears,


But nobler sacrifce-of helping hands.


OF cheering smiles, of sy ympathetic ears.


Oft have the saddest words the sweeter


In angels music let thy soul complain.
Then Grief shall stand with half-averted foot
Upon the threshold of a brighter day;
And Hope shall take her sweetly by the hand,
And both kneel down with Faith to meekly


Lifted from earth, Peace shall immortalize


The heart that its own anguish purifses.


Patience is the ballast of the soul, that
will keep it from rolling and tumbling
in the greatest storms; and he that will
venture out without this to make him
soil evenly and steadily, will certainly
make shipwreck and drown himself first
in the cares and SORROWS of the world,
and then in perdition.

One pound OF gold may be drawn in

My young friend, did you ever know

a person who, having his own way to
make in the world, spent his time in the

or in any form of dissipation or idleness,

enterprise? LCok over your list of
friends and acquaintancesan and note their
course. Do you not find upon examine
ton that those who to-day are men of
influence and honor, were the youths
who made the most valuablestime turn
ing it to good account? and, on the other
hand, do you not find. those who stood
at the corners with a cigar or pipe in
their mouths, went from bad to worse,
from worse to ruin? Sadly must the
answer be made-oh, that it were not so
they have failed. Will you not profit
by the experience of others ? Go not
that way. Never be idle. Every mo-
ment of your time is golden one, use il
as such; improve the mind; fixyour eyes
on some noble object; be men. The call
is for men; will you not be one of that
number who can say-"I am O man?'

In some recent remarks on the culti-
vation of corn we urged upon the farm
ers to extend their crop this spring as
much as possible, consistently with their
ability to manage it well, and so as not
to overcrop themselves, for the reason
that the probabilities We're for a good
price the coming fall. Our opinion
upon the fact that the short crop last
year will leave but little ofthe old stock
on hand by the time the new is ready
for the market; and in the second place
that although the wheat crop was very
large last year, the heavy expectations
which were made and are now making
caused by the low price, will pretty well
have reduced the surplus to low ebb
by the time the new wheat makes its
appearance in the markets of the sea-
board added to which there will be
found less amount of wheat to have
been sown, and the unfavorable winter
for that. grain will very materially short
en- this years production. We showed
from the returns at the office of the
Statistical Bureau the immense amount
of shipments of grain in 1859 over those
of the preceding year, very large pro-
portion of which was, doubtless, of the
crop of 1869, and shipped in the last
quarter of that year. We have now be-
fore us the statistics of the shipments
of grain for the first quarter of 1870 to
April l. confined, however, to the port
of New York alone, which we annex by
which it will be seen how great has been
the increase in the expectation of wheat
and flour over the two peeceeding paral-
lei quarters of 1868 and 1869, and how
short appear to be the shipments of corn
and corn meal for the same periods. We
make these statements to prove that the
price of our grain must bed better dur
ing the next fall than the past, an that
as we have still time to make an effort
to plant a large crop of corn, it will be
the wisdom of those who have it in
their power to extend the cultivation
thereof as far as possible:

1t will thus be seen that the amount of
wheat exported has been very largely
increased, whilst that of corn, in eonse-
quence of the scarcity, has decreased,
in still greater proportion. The wheat
crop, therefore, cannot be likely this
year tn come into contact with the corn,
as was the case last year, for reasons
already assigned, aud therefore the
price of the latter will undoubtedly be
remunerative over any other crop that
can now be put in.


In the city of Baltimore the amount
of wheat flour inspected in the year
1869 was ,l47, 1905 barrels, whilst the in
spections for 1858 were 94S, ,602 barrels.
Of this amount there were exported in

duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted. dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time Of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,

Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,

SUPPOSED TO BE CoMING.-Says the
Stockton Independent:


"About the lst of May the Spring food
of immigrants and excursionists will begin
to pour into California Thenceforward,
if there be any truth in reports and indica-
tions, there will throughout the season be
a steady stream of travel, the like of which,
either in volume or the character and
means of the incomers, has never been
seen in this State since its first settlement.
To larger extent than in any previous
year, our approaching visitors will consist
mainly of fsearchers after permanent homes;
those who will be disposed to settle for life
and transmit to their posterity the lands
that they may now locate ard the homes
and improvements that they are about to
create"

INTEREST TOO HIGH.-The Call re-
marks as follows:


Interest on money in California has
declined, but it is still too high for the
good of the people. On frst-class real
estate the late is ten per cent, per month.
Loans on business paper are effected at
from one to one and half per cent. per
month This statement has a reference
to San Francisco, but in nearly every other
portion of the State, the rates are higher,
ruling, from one to two per cent. per
month. 1t is certain that business will
not justify such an interest as we are even
now paying. Money should not be worth
in California, say, over eight per cent. on
real estate, and ten per cent per annum

There but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed year ago.
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers were sold in New York City less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred a day No
one used it as directed that did not recommend
1t. 1t has been recommended by more than FIVE
thousand persons in less than six months Among
the names are those of the distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
daton is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Investment 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and genticmens' wear and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends than here stated but this
is taken as very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is The great con
venience and comfort of the thing, which, all aiken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.


This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public. Anybody after rying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.

Many individuals seem to think that pn.
pills attend school for ne other purpose than
to acquire knowledge. But the fact is, i, is
not SO much what pupils acquire, as it is
what they learn ho'o to acquire. The OBJ
ject is not SO much to cram the mind or to
remember, rs it is to learn TO reeollect or
recollect. In short, the object in attending
school is to discipline the ,nin,i, and the
only Way Of discipining the mind is by
thought. Some pupils may have to deyote
as much thought to the solution Of sim-i
pie problem as others would to solve COM
PICK one but the benefit always comes in
proportion to the labor. Those pupils who
are hbo!iug in the ruliments may be as
truly educated as others farther andvanced, \,
that is, if they have eueh devoted an equal
amount of thought TO the work 1t is true
the knowledge pupils get will be of some
benefit TO them, but ii will not be found ec
as much value as the discipline required to-
gain that knowledge. Then if pupils do
not succeed in school, it is no reason why
they vii! not in after life, if they have only
formed habits Of vigorous thought. Pupils,
should be early taught to reason, reflect.
judge, and carefully examine every SEN
tence and every example. Tie impression
should be early made upon their minaa
that the most valuable part Of their educa-
tons mast come from themselves. If pu-
pills are thus taught, they will make men

their whole mental, moral and physical
