A man who earns a dollar a cUy
and does not po in debt, is the happier
of the two. Very few people who have
never heen rich will believe this but it is
true. There are thousands and thous
ands with princely incomes, who never
knew a minute's peace, because they live
beyond their means. There is really
more happiness among the working men
in the world than among those who are
called rich.

Nmokins Citffir In Lent,
A correspondent of an Episcopal pa
per reads clergymen of that body a rat-
tiiiijr lecture upon smoking during .Lent,
aud in reading it, we are rtruck with the
lorce and pertinency ot Ins arpunients,
and regret they do not go one step fur

at all. Smoking is one of the practices
which, while we may wink at it in lay
men, deserves the lash of rebuke in the
case of clergymen, for that aconseciated

is one of the most melancholy and affect
ing, as well as one of the commonest,
sights in tho world. How hall the peo
ple learn to give up indulgences under
tho ministrations or him who is a slave
to one of the worst of sumptuary vices
himself. We see but one step between
the vice of smoking or chewing and the
vice of drinking, and one of the causes,
no doubt, of the immense increase of
smokers, chewers and drinkers amongst
the people is due to the growing habit
in ministers, who fmoke or chew tobac

Art em us Unrd'i l.nnt.
The following is said to have been the
last thing written by Artemus Ward :
Until quite recent I've been a healthy
individual. I'm nearly sixty, and yet
I've got a muscle into my arms which
don't make my fist resemble the trade of
a canary bird when they fly out and hit
a mm. Only a few weeks ago I was
pxhil-iten' in East Showboygan, in a
buil lin' which had been formerly ocke
pied by a pugelist one of the felleys
what hits from the shoulder and teaches
the manly art of self defence. And he
cum and sed he was goin in free in eon
sequence of previ'sly ockepying sed
buil lin' with a large veller dog. lie sed
-Oh, yes ;" I ed, "Oh, no.'7 He sed,
"Do you want to be ground up int
powder?"' I said, "Yes, I do, if there
is a grindist hand," when he struck me
a d:sgustin' blow in my left eye, which
caused that concern to close at once for
repairs ; but he didn't hurt mc any more.
I went fur him energetically. II is pa
rents lived near by, and I will simply
state that fifteen minutes after 1 had
gone for him, his mother, scein' the
prostrate form of her son approaching
th? house onto the shutter, carried by
four men, run out doors, keerfully looked
him over and said, "My son you have
been foolin' round a threshin' macheei..
You went in at the end where they put
in the grain in, and came out with the
straw, got up in a thingumagig and let
the horses trod on you, didn't you, my
son ? You can imagiuo by these what a
disagreeable person I am when I'm an
ry." Oar Uirl.
Nothing, perhaps, is more fashionable
than idleness. We all agree, in theory
at least, that the meaning of life is
found in that little word use ; that the
happiness of life is found in woik ; that
to be idle is to he miserable. Here,
however, we roust make a distinction.
This law is supposed to apply only to
mn. Men must have an occupation.
If a man is without one we at once be
gin to suspect he must have some evil
designs upon society. The law adds to
?he punishment, if the culprit has "no
visible means of support." That alone
is a strong fact against him. Not only
the law, but public sentiment demands
that eveiy man shall do something.
"lie is an idler," disgraces a man almost
bevond anv other statement.
Now let us turn to the other side of
the house. In America we have a mil
lion young women without the slightest
pretence of occupation. They spend a
portion of their time in visiting. Miss
I31anchegoes to New York in the winter,
to spend three months with her very
dear friend, Miss Nellie, who, in turn,
comes to srend three months with Miss
Blanche in the summer. This sort of
exchange has become an immense sys
tem. Blanche and Nellie, with this ar
rangement, work off six months of the
year, and, adding one or two other little
affairs of a similar kind, they fill up the
residue of the time with the dressmaker,
piano practice, the theatre, working sickly-looking
pink dogs in worsted, lying
late in the morning, dressing three times
a day, and reading a few novels. A mil
lion young women of the better (?) class
es, in America, arc training themselves
for the future by these method.
A single year of such life would half
ruin a young man. His mind would be
come unsteady, his will weak and vascil
lating, his body soft and delicate. Add
a "glove-fitting corset" to his wardrobe
and in a few years he would be utterly
unfit for husband, father, or citizen.
Can any one give us a physiological or
metaphysical reason why girls should not
suffer the same deterioration? Would
you like direct proof that they do? List
en to the conversation of young women,
educated j-oung ladies ! liax, bows,
engagements, lovely, Charley 1 Minuets,
(iu. parties, splendid fellow, ribbons,
trails, engaged, etc., etc, till midnight.
Watch them as they walk past this
window. Does that look iike the earn
est pursuit of any objection in life ? If
fo, they certainly won't catch it. Look
at their hare arms candle-dip, No. 8.
No "'right" of women is so precious,
no Vital to their welfare, present and fu
ture, as the right to work. Even if a
girl had no other object in life th;in to
get a husband, no investment would pay
like an occupation. It womd give her
independence and dignity.- Margaret
Fuller eays: . . ..,

dignity, shetnost be awe to sranu a.o..u

"Bridget, what did your mistress say
she would have for dinner?" Brail the
lobster !" "Are you .sure, Bridget?"
"Entirely; get thegridiron." Mary got
the gridiron and placed it on the fire.
She then placed the live lobster on the
gridiron. Intermission of five minutes,
after which the dialogue was resumed,
as follows "Did you broil tha 1 jbtter,
Mary? "Devil the broil ! The more I
poked the fire, the more he walked off.
The haste's haunted; I'll try no more.
No pood will cotue from cooking a strad
dle bug like that." "And where is tho
lobster?'; "Devil know I. The last I
saw of him he was going out the door
with his tail at half mast, like wild ma
niac that he wa."

It is-almost frightful, and altogether
humiliating, to think how much there is
in the common on going of domestic and
social life which deserves nothing tutto
be in-tant'y and forever forgotten. Yet
it is equally amazing how large a
class seem to have no other business but
to repeat and perpetrate these very
things. That is the vocation of gossips
an order of society that perpetuates
more mischief than all combined plagues
of Egypt put together. You may have
noticed how many speeches there are
which become michievious only by be
iug heard a second time, and what au
army of both Kexes are sworn to see to
it that the fatal repetition shall be had.
Blessed be that man or woman who
can let drop alt the burs and thirties, in
stead of picking them up and fastening
them on the passengers ! Would we
only let the vexing and vicious saying
die, how fast the lacerated and scandal
ridden world would get healed and tran
quilized !
The Automatic Woiuler Pen."
Is the name of a new English pen, in
which, it is claimed, a fortnight's supjily
of ink can be carried. The ink is in a
solid form, only a little moisture being
required in use. l'ens loaded with ink
of several colors are made, and are used
by being dipped in the fluid, as is usual
with the ordinary pen and ink.

A king and some noblemen were once

Waiting a few moments for Lord Dai t

An unsophisticated gentleman (says a

for the purpose of having it filled with
gas to take home, some seven miles in
the country, to burn in a kerosene oil
lamp. He aid he had "seen the darned
thing burned in the stores about yer,
and it made a mighty good light."
Many persons have wondered why
horse chestnuts, horse radish, &c. . are
so called. A Scotch work, entitled
"Etymons of English words," sas that
the original word was "hah" harsh
chestnuts, harsh radih, &c , and that
the French and Swedes translated it into
"hore," hence the common error.
The first weeping willow in England

of Englaud and America originated.

Fillmore County Correspondence.
From the Lincoln Journal.
Fu.I-Miire Co.. Neb.. April 27, '71.
Editor Journal: I have been
mortified and indignant, since coming
to Nebraska, more than once, thatemi
grants should know st little of the ex
cellence, beauty and fertility of South
ern Nebraska, and know so much of
Kansas and other States west of the
Missouri. Many emigrant?, when you
speak to them of the productiveness of
leoraska, say tney never Knew rnai
anything could be raised in Nebraska be
fore. f"r they had always supposed it to
be wholly in the American desert. Why
should so much ignorance prevail in re
gard to a State the southern half of
which is unsurpassed as an agricultural
and stock raising country by any other
portion of our whole country, simply be
cause she has not been advertised so ex
tensively as she should be. Thousands
every year go to some other State be
cause they do not know much about Ne
braska. Now a system of advertising
(such as is kept up by some other States,
and spread all over our country aud r.u
rope), would induce thousands to come
to Nebraska, who for the want of infor
mation go some where else. Since com
ing to Nebraska to build myself a home,
I have felt that what was her prosperity
was my own, for in hermy children must
be educated, and quite likely she will be
their home when they come to the years
of maturity.
Acting upon this feeling I have done
what I could the past winter, by news

ence, to induce immigration tiere
Thinking perhaps I might do more, I
commenced this article for the Journal,

great, I think, as it would have been,
had knowledge of her been more dis

can be uumbered by hundreds, but her
chief beauty lies in her rich, deep soil
inexhaustible if cultivated well To
speak within bounds the soil on the up

deep, though on my homestead in Fill

The upfands have not been well .settled
as to their productive qualities. The
statistics, however, of the uplands, if
they could be had separate from the
yields of all the lands in the State, I be
lieve would show that the upland are a
good for a crop, one year with smother
for a succession of years, as the bottom
lands. Th.'t the bottom lands sue more

portions of the State, th t it dicreases

speak of the lands along the line of the

river, through Saline and Fillmore coun
ties. I want to see these beautiful lands
both government and raihoads, taken
by men who will improve them; and 1
regret very much that my circumstances
in a pecuniary point, will not admit of
my going over the-e hinds at my leisure,
and gleaning facts in legard to them,
that would have a stronger tendency to
induce immigration than any facts 1 am
in possession of now. In conclusion of
thi article I will say to those who are
contemplating a move west, that Ne
braska with her fifty million of acres of
arai-le land, her deep, rich soil, anu---pas-ed
in fertility by any State, will for
all you invest give back to you in a few
years, if you are industrious and eco
