Oriental Proverbs.
It is easy to mount a little donkey.
A fly is nothing; but it spoils the ap
petite. Two captains in one ship will
surely sink her. The fox enJs by pet
ting into the furrier's shop At sijrht of
a plow-worm the timid cry "Fire!"'
Knife-wounds heal, but not those pro?
duced by the word. The heart is a
crystal palace; onco broken, it can
never bo mended. With patience, sour
grapes become sweetmeats and mulberry-leaves
turn to satin. The night
ingale was shut up in a golden cage,
but still she cried, "My home, my
home!" The apple and pomegranate
disputed which was faires, when the
thi.-tle exclaimed, "Brein"n let us not
quarrel!"
Education.
Education, in its broadest sen.se, is
undoubtedly the main business of youth.
Theirs is the preparation for a future
life of action. Hut we are too apt to
regard school and study aj tlte whole of
education, whereas it is but a part, and
is valuable only as it is made to contrib
ute to the general fund. Often the very
best way to prepare to do anything is
gained chiefly by continuel exersice in
it. As life consists largely of work, it
would seem to be the patli of wisdom to
accustom tire boy and the girl to take
some regular share in it suitable to
their years, that they may not, upon
entering its real business, stand aghast
and overwhelmed by the multitude of
claims efficiency in action and nobie
cess of character; and the acquisition
of knowledge, though important as one
means, can never, by itself, produce
either of these. It must be vitalised by
individual thought ami utilized by per
sonal action before it can put real value
into one's life or produce anything like
an abundant harvest. These processess
should go on simultaneously.
Grumbling.
What a luxury it must be, to some
people, to grumble. Rob them of that
luxury, and life seems barely endurable.
You might ad well obliterate from sight
tho green and velvety coat of Nature.
They must grumble. Grumbling is a
constitutional necessity- with thetn. It
is a part, and an important part, of
their organization. They grumble as
naturally and as inevitably as they eat
and drink. Indeed, the- might," per.
force, dispence for a time with those
Interesting table performances; but to
tal abstinence from grumbling, to a
regular grumbler, is just as possible as
total abstinence from water to a fish.
And, goodness knows! life-furnishes
sufficient material for fault-finding.
The least querulous find it dificult at
all times to be amiable amid the per
verscness of events, and the counter
currents of all little thing's that should
move on in unity and harmoniously.
Amid such a state of thinirs the mor
bidly dissatisfied may easily revel in
the expression of their discontentment;
and to do them Justice, they seldom
lose an oppor' unity. In domestic life,
the conduct of servants is a theme,
alone, of endless complaint. The
greatest plague in life," as servants are
called, occasion, too, the grandest varie
ty of these little outburst of the grumb
ling propensity. But, after all, it is our
impression that good employers make
good servants, and vice veraa. May
not all grumbling, therefore, ariso aa
much from the grumbler S-cviil babita aa

The number of coroners' inquests

Verdicts of wilful murder were returned

the captain for his dinner, if he would
buy her, the cannibals said they would
prepare her for roasting. The captaiu
bought the girl, but said that he pre
ferred to kill his own mgat. Ho carried
her to this country and gavo her to Cap

Slowly but surely the Biitish farmers
are finding themselves compelled to
adopt a more scientitic process in deal
ing witlrthcir land. Their la?e severe
experience has brought them to a con
dition of mind ready to re- eive sound
advice. This is the way Mr. Findlay
Dun. a mem' er of the Rnvai Agricul
tural Commission, has told them how to I
render their farming less precarious
nun" more prolitable: Less dependence
than heretofore must be placed upon
arable cu.ture; less wheat must be gen
erally grown, more live-stock must be
reared and fed, and more dairying and
vegetable and fruit culture niu( ba
prosecuted. Arable land of poor qual
i y which could not fittingly be laid
down to grass must be planted with
larch, ash, and suitable timber." New
Englantt as well as old England farm
ers, smarting under the competition of
the great West, might with advantage
quietly act upon MrfXluu's counsel.
IVroy Fitzgerald, the dramatic critic
ami editor and author of several biogra

thus of Edwin Booth in one of the Lon

a spirited, elaborate, painstaking, ah4
expert, but conventional performance.
He presents essentially the Hamlet of
the etag, with variations and embroi

the Hamlet of the student of Shakspeare.
His chief aim is theatrical effectiveness
of the old established sort. His Hamlet
in truth may be said to be the true Ham
let of the past. Often I found myself
reminded of the Hamlet of Mr. Charles
Kean; if I missed his physical demerits,
I missed also his intensity, his special
power of startling and kindling Lis au
dience. It may be that what is chiefly
lacking to Mr. Booth's labors is a leaven
of genius, Thh the actor possibly pos

assert as much ery positively.

Some Old Settlers' Recollections about
Previous Cola Winters.
If any one supposes that a little
matter of 37 below zero temperature
will put the oldest inhabitant to shame
they are totally unacQuainted wi'li the
rr sources of that individual. When
the Manitoba wavi that followed
Christmas was called they worst on
record, Fnther Martin and Landlord
Oestei linjf of Dakota City came to tho
front t say that a storm in the win
ter of 1856. beat our late blizzard as to
length, coldncsH, amount af snow'
violence of the. wind, and. In fact, on
every other point an which a blizzard
could hope to excel. So this cold Sun
day morning brings reminiscences to
the front. Ilpre are some:
Geo. Weare teh phones, that in 1875
from January 5 to 20, the thermome
ter was not above zero, and at one
time between those dittos it reached
28 below.
C. SJIolman of Sergeant Bluffs
says that he n wverubers a storm in the
winter of 1830. The ihyqw drifted into
his father's stables so badly that it
was necessary to turn out all tho
horses t prevent their being smoth
eied in the drift. The moiqing fol
lowing, about sunrise, be looked at the
only thermometer in Sergeant Bluffs.
It indicated 36 below zero. The
thermometer hunsr n a building af
terwards occupied by Alex. Macready
now of this city and be was inclined
to think that Macready occupied the
building at the time of the storm.
The reporter looked up Mr. Ma
cready to verify this statement.
"Yes" said that gentleman, it went
lower than that. 1 was up most of the
night before; it was so cold that I
I could not sleep, and at one time I
saw the mercury frozen in the bulb
there was none at a I in the tube. 1 his
would make it at least 40 below, and
nobody knows how much mure. I was
living in the best house in Sergeant
Bluffs then. It was clapboarded l ut
not ceiled, bad a dirt floor and noth
ing overhead but shingles. Thei .wind
b'ew terribly. 1 had to carry thd wood
we burned into the house to saw it
up. A man wha was stopping with
me started out to the barn in the morn
ing. He had not gone farther than
across the street when he turned back
and came into the house with his nose
all frozen.' I was not experienced in
frost bites then, but 'Squire James,
afterwards governor of Nebraska, was
stopping with pie, and he took the
nose in hand. It was an immense one,
but by rubbing it with some snow the
'Squ:re brought it out all right.
"It was a terrible winter. Th first
storm started in in the latter part of
November and kept coming. I kept
count of sixteen of them. The one
bringing tlia terribly cold weather,
was, I think in January. Tilson, now
of Onawa, started fiom Sergeant
Bluffs to Council Bluffs to haul up a
load of goods for me. There was no
house then at Onawa. nor settlement
of any kind along the road north af
Little Sioux except one settler's cabin
about two miles west of where Onawa
is. Tilson got lost in a storm, and it
was six weeks before I heard from my
uoods. He turned his wagon box over
and was found under it, by a man liv
ing west of Onawa, three days after
with his hands and feet badly frozen.
Christmas of '53, I came up to Sioux
City in niy shirt sleeves, and the mos
quitoes were around thick in a little
groves just back of my house."
The above comes to us through the
West Point Republican which in turn
clips fretn the Sioux City Journal.
We do not know how low the ther
mometer stood in '36 but we do know
what kind of a looking spring '57 was
and remember well the stories the few
settlers told who wiutered ia Nebras
ka in '50 and '57. The Editor of this
paper with fifteen other "innocents"
landed from the Steamer Omaha
in April 1857 in Burt Co., Neb. In
May there was thick ice on a' jes
of the streams between deep bdt.its so
we walked out on it to dip up water
for lunch ar.d in June there were
remnants of snow in the gulches.
Tho inhabitants swore the snow
was 15 feet on the level. In Decatur
there were two old log trading posts
then, or.e kept by Lumbar and one by
Chase, across the street from each
other a-id they made and kept a tun

the snow, bringing Hour and mails and
other necessarys into camp and sav
ing life in some instances by his
timely aid. We remember distinctly
Lambert's telling how Thompson
went to the top of the bluff and came
down "like lightning" to show them
how the shoes worked.
We have always had grave doubts
about any fifteen feet of snow falling
but from the peculiar lay of the
ceuutiy the snow swept down from
the great plains of the north west,
and dropped behind the bluffs rifting
outward from thence over the broad
bottoms to the Missouii. As the few
settlers were all in the bottom then
and in the blinding storms it was im
possible to tell which was drift and
which snow fall proper they honestly
believed it fell 15 or 16 feet.

Coid weather is the order here; we
have been cutting wood and sitting by

"oh this is the coldest winter wo ever
saw" but I guess we forget. We have
not had our January thaw however
and now cannot have. Ono winter'
that we have had a cold January. But
we enjoy it pretty well, we have plen

Hres and sit by thorn.
The M. E. Church at this place has
been holding revival meetings here,
commencing about Christmas aud
closing the 25lh of.January ; the church
lias been greatly revived aud several
converts have been made; the work
has been carried on through the labors
of Rev. Mr, aud Mrs. Cooky assisted
part of the time by Mr. Lang of O ma

preachers for this year.

in their labors for temper.iuce; they

both preachers being strong temper
ance workers. We sent large potiUous
f roai here to the Legislature for pro- -hibition.
Your correspondent from Eight Mile
Grove thinks one distiller, would do
more good fer the County than all the
Good Templars in it; that sounds bad
for a man in this age of the world. It
would do more to fill our poor house,
jail and peniteutiary. The people
about Mt. Pleasant think they would
rather take a few cents less on a bush
of corn and save tiirte times as much
in the way of tax to prosecute murders
and other criminal cases caused by
drunkene3s. Would your correspond
ent please tell us how much it costs
Cass Co. to pay for prosecutions and
pauperisms iu the county annually
caused by the use of this stuff made

There is a good deal of corn in the
