If yot waut to make the ruin of a
child sure, give him liberty -after dirk.
You cannot do any tiling nearer to Lis
damnation than to let him have the lib
erty to go where he v.iil without re
straint. After dark ho v. ill be sure to
get into communication with people that
will undermine ai! his good qualities. I
do not like to speak to parents about
their children. Their child cannot or
will not lie, when bis tongne is bended
like a low; he will net drink-, when
there is not a saloon within a mile of his
father's, where he is not as well known
as one of its own decanters; he never
does iniquitous things, when he is rock
ing in filth. Nineteen out of twenty al
lowed perfect freedom at night will be
wounded by it. There is nothing more
important than for a child to be home at
night, or, if he be abroad, you should
te with him. If he is to see any sights,
or take any pleasure, there is nothing
that you should cot see with him. 1c is
noi merely iliat a child should be broken
down, but there are thoughts that never
ought to Cud passage into a man'.s brain.
As an eel, if he wriggles acro.-s your car
pet, will leave hiss'iaia which no bru sh
ing cau evereCiice, to there are thousilits
that you never get rid of, once permitted
to enter, and there are individuals going
round with obicenj books and pictures,
under the lappcls of their coats, that
will leave ideas iu tlu mind? of your
children that can never be enbecd.
There are men who have heard a sa
lacious song and t'-.ey will never forget it
to the end of their lives. 1 do not be
lieve in a child's seeing life, as it Is
called, with its damnab.'o In -t and wick
edness, to have r.il his imagination s-t
on fire with James of hell.
Nobody goes thrc::,:h this lire but he

No wonder then the homesteaders in
Nebraska more than a year ago, had
been more numerous than in any other
State exce-t one, and that their number
tiiis year has in; -ica-ed faster than ever.
In every new State, however, in which
I have traveled, I have seen immigrants
pressing in, aud have heard of their in
liux as greater than anywhere else. But
on a recent tour through Nebraska, I
have not been content with indefinite
generalities of observation and testimo
ny, but have resorted to the United
States Land Oilices satisfied that the
best meter of populational growth is the
number of homesteaders and pre empt
ors, each of whom must be peidbree an
actual settler.
I know that among your readers a
thousand farmers who are advising some
of their sous to "go West," as they did
themselves a generation ago, will be glad
of the fctatistics I have gathered for
them.
Up to last New Years the Nebraskian
homesteaders numbered in Grand Island,
(iO'i; in Lincoln, G,0o'J, and in Beatrice,
4,8o7. Within the next eight months
th.v numbered, in Grand Island, l,2f3 ;
in Lincoln, 2,2-45, and m Beatrice, 779
a total of I o,;j71 homesteaders.
The pre emptors up to last New Years
ui'.mboed in Grand island, 72; in Lin
coln, 0,40', and in Beatrice, 4,25.
Within the next eight months they num
bered in Grand Island SUf; in Lincoln,
2112, and in Beatrice, 577 a total of
lS.s'2 prc-empiors.
These figures mean that .G,4I3 hive
filed claims as actual settlers at three
land oilices in Nebraska. I say "per
sons" because not a few both bonieJtead
crs and pre-emptors fear feminine
nam. s.
Of this army 8,214, almost a fourth
more than a fourth of all the homesteader-
took up their lands within the first
eignt months oi the current year.

has set D0;t strongly toward the Lincoln
office.
There is no obious reason for this
com -e of the migration current unless
the lands iu the Lincoln district are bet
tor or in a more desirable latitude than
those for sale at Grand Island. The lat
ter has a railroad as well as the former1
indeed it has had it much loncr.
Both railroads 1
lave also been selling
much of their land grants, and their
sales must not be unnoticed by any sta
tistician who would accurately gauge the
growth cf the Platte valley. 1 Regard
ing the Union Pacific railroad sales 1 am
not able to speak definitely, but they no
doubt equal those of the Burlington and
Mi-souri Biver railroad, which 1 have as
eertaitied to amednt in Nebia.-ka alone
to l;"l,2ol acres, to 10S4 purchasers
usually i n ten years' credit and six per
cent, interest. Many settlers who could
lmmcstead only tso acres, or pre-empt
ooly twice as many, have also bought an
equal number of adjoining railroad acres.
The proverb "as good fi.-h in the sea
as ever were caught" will bo always true;
but Uncle Sam cannot always give every
body a farm iu Nebraska. Wide as that

The Kev. S. I. Prime say?, in a letter
to the Oob'crvcr :
vVlten 1 was a pastor, one of ray ciders
made it a rule to come to my study every
forenoon to talk with me, fbr fear, he
said, thrt 1 would study too steadily.
Of course, I had to make up for the
unio lost while ho was boring me, by
hard work after be was gone. Bores are
great moral, seciai and phy-ical pe-ts.
A man who has little to do, and spends
his lime in hindering other people who
have much to tio, J3 a nuisance to be
abated in some desperate way, since no
law can reach the case. Such a man
persistently violates the eighth com
mandment, and ought to be held as a
thief. "He who steals my purse" does
not get much, but ho who steals lav
time "takes that which not enriches him
but makes me poor indeed." And these
bores sometimes make people crazy.
They r-re in no dinger of losing their
own wits, for the best of reasons, having
none to lose ;. but they haunt and op
press and goa l men of action to the
verge of despair.
NIIin i:e Hot Calve
Many farmers, for an extra dollar or
two. soil their best calves to the butcher
and raise such as are not valuably and
think they gain by the practice ; but the
few dollars they think they make would
in many cases be worth at the milking
ago of the stock, if the lest had been
kept, more than thirty dollars, instead
of a dollar or two.
Of Iceland we hear but little, and,
speaking generally, know still les. It
seems, however, to be losing all value as
an inhabitable country; its winters are
growing colder, its lislieiies failing, and
from beiag cnee a timbered country, it
is said that not a tree is now found there.
The inhabitants being thus rendered des
titute of the proper means of sustain
ing life, and the Danish Government
having consented, it is proposed to esta
blish an Icelandic colony in Northern
Wisconsin and Nebraska. As an experi
ment and to test this regiem, some fif
teen Icelanders, mostly men, hare al-rea-Jy
gone to Detioit and Washington
Islands, where they intend to support
themselves by fishing until they can learn
to farm.
Josh Bi'liogs has issued a supplement
to his famous essay on the mule. litre
it is in full : "The mowl is a larger
bur J than the gusc turkey ; it has tu
leers to walk with and tu more to kick
with and it wares its wings on the side
cf its bed."
A distinguished clergyman says :
"Your affairs may become involved, and
your property le taken for debt. lrour
stocks and shares may fall in value.
But a thousand dollars assured upon
your life cannot be taken for debt; can
not 1 e alienated from your heirs ; and if
yen havo chosen your company discreet
ly, is subject to no commercial risks. It
is as nearly sure as anything earthly can
well be."

"A moment if you please," quietly
remarked an almost beardless desperado,
covering his pile with a firm hand, and
fixing dangerous eyes on the burly dealer
of monte whom he addressed "you can't

"Well, sir."
"Well, excuse me, but I think you

"I Lcliove not. I'll take your pile,
if von please; the kervryo takes it."

And in each ease the words are ac

but f'ussless f.tir among the spectators
around the table. In a moment a clear
space is formed in the midst of a still
circle of flashing eyes, compressed lips

Up stens a bystander some cool,
steady veteran expert in thcgamc, and
ver.-ed in the lav ef difnculties a man
of awful nerve, whose tympanum, ac
customed to the crack, no pistol shot
alarms
"Gentlemen," .-ays he, "try arbitra

Another quick change of inquiring and
rcspon. ive glances between the dispu
tants. Not a word: but tlie eyes of each plain
ly say 'agreed." Both thov; themselves
back in their chairs and withdraw their
hands from the table, with the air of men
inviting examination and resolute to
abide the result. The veteran calls up
two brothers of the Green Cioth, compe

they lie on the cloth and naming them
slowly like the tolling of a bell, or the

noise but the simultaneous clicking of
two pistol-locks. The dealer and his.
young vis-a-vis rue seemingly unconcern

"You aro wrong, my friend," says
Veteran. "No card was drawn here.
