MIDSUMMER'S GOLD AND GREEN.
BY MRS. MARY B. F1NC1I.
Tbc harvest glow and summer sheen
On hill and valley now are hern
And shining groves that lie between
Arc gems in amber setting.
Faint rosy rays like rubies wait
Aurora's step at opal gate,
And sunbeams come in royal state
To deck the earth with jewels.
The fleecy clouds go sailing by
Like downy billows in the sky,
Around our path their shadows lie,
But change with sunlight's flitting.
The cheery hum of earth and air.
The purple mist with floating hair,
"With summer life a dream so fair
It dwells in our hearts forever.
A mingled tone in twilight breeze
And folded wings in waving trees,
Oh! were our lives as free as these
"We'd keep our hearts a-chiming.
The dreamy days that come and go,
The evening winds that softly blow,
The moon-beams shifting to and fro
Through vinc-lcavcs restlcs motion,
And streaming in at open door
"With shadows dancing on the floor
Are pictures hanging evermore
In Mcm'ry's golden tower.
Oh! perfect days we love so well,
"What vrcalth of wonders can you tell
"When Mcm'ry sounds her silver bell
And 6cts the chimes a-ringing!
So many beauties round us shine!
So many blessings round us twine!
That life and joy are half divine,
And earth is seeming heaven.

Editor Journal : Last summer
I was much pleased to see in the
columns of your paper a letter from
a woman who was desirous of re
ceiving aud imparting knowledge
on the all-important subject of "Do
mestic Economy" as regards cn
lightonnicnt aud improvement in
cookery; but some other woman in
reply plead "not guilty" to the
charge of muddy coffee and the rest
ofit. I was sorry to see this, as we
all know, or should, that we can
still make progress on to the end of
the chaptcr,and I,for onc,expected to
derive a great many useful lessons
from the correspondence, which
seemed about to be opened to the
interests of the household depart
ment. Let us ignore the "hog and
hominy" method of living, aud try
to substitute something better. I
am sure ull will agree with me when
I suggest that several of us on look
ing down the dim vista of the buried
past, (or the unburied present), can
remember the multitudinous con
glomerations we have partaken of,
that were honored by the appella
tions of bread, cake, pics or pud
dings, as the case might be, and
fondly believed to be such. Hut
oh! the dyspepsias, (if I may be
allowed to add a plural), that have
been their inheritance whose troub
led ghosts yet rise up and will not
be quieted. These Gurgons of dys
pepsia have crowned us witli head
aches, armed us with rheumatisms,
sandaled our feet with gouts and
broken our hearts over imaginary
sorrows. They have consumed us
with undiscovered fevers, and throt
tled us with the purplest apoplexies.
They have turned our blood into
vinegar, and eventually put the
greenest persimmons into our an
gelic dispositions. They have pranc
ed into our dreams with the most
excruciating nightmares, and filled
our waking hours with murderous
suspicions. The multifarious causes
of dyspepsia, as I have before hiut
cd, may be laid at the door of the
glorious past; also at the windows
of the much -humiliated present.
All because of Isaac Xewton, I think
it was, not knowing whether he had
eaten or not, on seeing a plate of
bones before him ; it was ever after
ward considered a mark of intel
lectual greatness to be able to cou
eumc all manner of disagrccble
thiugs while appearing to be en
tirely oblivious of the fact. Every
thing one took on his plate must be
eaten in order to be saved, even to
the mouldy cheese; and if there
were plenty of skippers, all the
better; and the burnt crusts, the
pork rinds and the potato skins. I
believe they didn't try to cat the
chicken boues and 'tis a wonder. I
have heard my mother tell of one
man who invariably took the ham
mer to the table with him, and
. broke them and ate the contents in
doggish triumph. He must have
belonged to the race the geologists
speak of, who lived in the same age
with the cave bears aud cave hyenas.
In our graud parents' time If one
scraped his plate till the glazing
was in peril he was certain to be
come rich and powerful, and if he
could eat a meal in ten minutes the
fortune was almost within his grap.
and he was a great philosopher to
boot The pernicious teachings of
the Dr. Franklin school have had
their weight in invertiug the natural
order of health and happiness, espe
cially with young people whose
rights are not clearly defined or
specified. "When I was a child I
thought the Dr. must he a very near
relative of mine, he seemed to Ukc
such a lively interest in my welfare.
He was always on hand to tell them
just what to do ucxt. ''He who
would thrive," &c, was the morn
ing greeting; but what on earth
they wanted me to thrive for was
more than I could imagine. I would
much rather have slept. "Early to
ued,"&c, was more of it, but "al
ways leave the table hungry," was
the last feather that broke the back
of ray childish imagination, aud I
parted company then ana mere wim
my hard-hearted relative without
the least compunctions of conscience,-
and I must aver now, that with the
platitudes of Franklin aud the quot
ings of Solomon I thiuk the poor
children have had a pretty hard
time of it. All of this noneeuso was
closely allied to the self-torture im
posed on people by the old dough
heads of the superannuated past, that
classical time that students wax 60
grandiloquent about. I wish the
man who invented this style of deg
radation might have been perpetu
ated to posterity, and we would
have him impeached yet for high
crimes and misdemeanors. I sin
ccrclj hope all the matrons of Ne
braska who can be induced to lay
aside the making and trimming of
their abomination (Oh! 1 beg par
don combination) dresses, will do
so, aud if the editor of the Journal
will grant us space we will discuss
the domestic problem at length ; but
let us hope it may be done in an
amiable manner, as it is disgusting
in the extreme to pull hair aud
throw vitriol through the the news
paper columns, the medium that
should be used only to enhance civ
ilization, instead of barbaric war
fare. "Polyanthus."
For the Journal.
A ."VI an with an I.
Take a man who is married, for
instance, who is in the habit of
always trying to make himself seem
important by always using the word
I, when we, or my wife and I, would
sound a great deal better sometimes
than always I. Let him take his
wife to the theater, for instance, or
to a dance and back agaiu. Then
let him speak to his neighbor after
wards, and sec if he don't say, I was
at the dance last night ; I enjoyed
myself well, I just had a splendid
time, when it would have sounded
much better to have said "my wife
and I were at the dance; we had a
nice time," &c. "We have also heard
him say my house or my home,
whfii our house or our home would
have sounded much better, since
there arc two to share it, aud his
wife claims it just as much as he
does. Take a man with his import
ant word, I, always in his mouth aud
you will have a man who will have
but very little to say (o his wife, aud
will think himself more important
than she, in place of treating her as
his better half, lie would rather
go to his neighbors and talk, than
sit down and hold a conversation
with his wife. Such a man will
hardly ever notice his wife at all,
and if she tries to reason with him
on any subject he will say, "what
do you know about it?" or, "you
don't know as much as Mrs. A.," or,
"there is no business in you like
there is in Mrs. B?" or, " you don't
work as hard as Mrs. C.,v when he
in reality never notices her enough
to find out how much she does know
or do, and he may live with her a
century and then die without ever
finding out her real value. Let him
put her to the test, notice her, aud
make himself more agreeable with
her, and perhaps he will find out
that she has just as good ideas as he
has, if not better, that her judgment
in matters of business is worthy of
respect, at least.
I venture to say no family like this
can live a happy life together, for
where love should grow, it will die
out. 31. a. o.
On the Way.
IIarristown, III., Aug. i!G, '79.
Dkar Journal: I will now ful
fil my promise to let you hear from
me. It was my intention to come
by the way of Chicago, but I found
out at Council Bluffs that I could
not get a through ticket that way,
so we came by way of Kansas City
and St. Louis. I cannot give you
many particulars in the brief space
of this letter, but will say that there
is the finest prospect for corn in
Iowa and Missouri ; one thing that
was very noticeable in parts of Mis
souii was the growing tobacco. 1
saw hundreds of acres, all looking
fine aud healthy ; I did not notice a
single potato patch in crossing the
whole state, which leaves one to
infer that the inhabitants of that
wooden country go considerable on
tobacco aud corn juice for a living.
We made a very quick trip, leaving
the Bluffs at about 5 o'clock Monday
evening, reaching Decatur at 10:50,
Tuesday evening, distance about
eight hundred miles.
And now, Mr. Editor, let mc say
to you and all my friends in Nebras
ka that my feelings were indescrib
ably sad, as the train pulled out of
Columbus. Yon all know why 1
should thus feel, aud I shall say
nothing of the cause here. But I
will say, God pity any human being
that has to lose a happy home, and
to them that have said unkind
things about mc, because I hold it
sinful to despond, and will not let
the bitterness of life blind me with
burning tears but look beyond its
bitterness and its strife, to them I
say, "May God forgive as I do."
As to the crops here, and a good
many other things I will have to
wait until another time.
Truly youis,
John Ey.man.
Iu England, neither Indian corn,
potatoes, squashes, carrots, cabbages,
nor turnips, were known until after
the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury, and Queen Catharine was
obliged to send to Holland for salad

sisted ou bread, chiefly made of bar
lev ground in the hand mill.

It is related that General Scott's
famous letter to Zachary Taylor, an
nouncing the withdrawal of most of
the regular troops from Taylor's
command to be placed under his own
iu a projected movement from Vera
Cruz toward the capital of Mexico,
was received while Taylor was at
supper with his staff near Monterey.
The General asked Colonel Bliss to
read it to him. lie had just replen
ished his coffee-cup, and was engag
ed in cooling it with a spoon while
the reading went on. This appeared
to make no further impression upon
him than that indicated by a con
temptuous "sniff," but as the real
import of the letter began to appear
his whole manner changed, and he
abstractedly dipped the spoon into
a bowl of mustard, which sat upon
the table, and stirred it in the coffee.
This he repeated until by the time
the reading of the letter was finish
ed, the contents of the mustard bowl
were exhausted. Without saying a
word, and to Bliss' astonishment and
horror, he raised the cup to his lips
and gulped down the whole abomi
nable compound. He then broke
into an excited and profane haran
gue, consigning to everlasting dam
nation every one concerned in the
proposed depletion of his forces, and
only ceasiuir when his speech was
overtaken with a paroxysm of stnt
ering, which, with him, usually fol
lowed a violent outbreak of temper.
The Colonel felt sure that from the
amount of mustard he had swallow
ed, combined with the intelligence
he had received, it would infallibly
sicken li'm, but nothing uncommon
came of it. "Eatsbane at that mo
ment," said Bliss, "would, lam con
vinced, have had no more effect upon
him than upon the stomach of Mith
ridatcs." General Pleasanton, who
commanded the General's escort in
Mexico, says that when once thor
oughly aroused he was the maddest
man he ever saw mad from the
crown of his hat to the soles of his
bonis. New York Tribune.

"Who is it? It is the boy who
conducts himself well, who is hon
est, diligent, and obedient in all
things. It is the boy who is making
an effort continually to respect his
father, and obey him in whatever he
may direct to be done. It is the
boy who is kind to other boys, who
respects age, and who never gels
into difficulties and quarrels with
his companions. It is the boy who
leaves no effort untried to improve
himself in knowledge and wisdom
every day who is busy and atten
tive in endeavoring to do good acts
towards others. Show me a boy
who obeys his parents, who is dili
gent, who has rc&pcct for age, who
always has a friendly disposition,
and who applies himself diligently
to get wisdom, and to do good to
wards others and if he is not re
spected and beloved by everybody,
then there is no such thing as truth
in this world. Remember this, boys,
and you will be respected by others
and will grow up aud become use

Arbitrary as the Czar, he was
wont to govern iu his private affairs
with a rod of iron. The husband of
one of the daughters of the Commo
dore being unfortunate iu business,
many years ago, she went to her
father for assistance, which was re
fused in a manner more forcible
than elegant. She abruptly with
drew to fight for complete indepen
dence. Next morning the Mew
York of those days was highly sur
prised to read the following adver
tisement, specially displayed :
-XfltS.! DESIRES TO STATE
tl THAT SHE HAS KXUKLLEXT
Table Board and accommodation- for
families or single gentlemen. Kefer
to her father, C. V.imlerhilt.
That advertisement appeared ex
actly one timo, for the Commodore
realized the situation and advanced
backward promptly, aud there was
no more dissension in that branch
of the family forever more.
An eastern man, accustomed to
the luxuries to be had at Delmoui
co's, dropped into a restaurant in a
Acvada mining town for dinner.
The head-waiter, who was also the
junior partner of the establishment,
accosted him with: "Weil, Col.,
what'll you have ?" " Beefsteak and
mushroons,' answered the "colonel"
as "pert" a possible. " Guess not,"
said the waiter, who felt that he was
being "guyed.'' ' Guess not ? Why
not? Bring me a beefsteak with
mushroons right away!'' "Look
here, stranger," said the waiter, "I
don't want to make no trouble, yer
know, but I don't allow no man to
quarrel with his vittlcs iu this
ranche." With that, he took a six
shooter from his hip-pocket, cocked
it, and holding it in a suggestive way
added : ' Hash is what you are go
ing to eat." The colonel had hash.
John, did you go round and ask
how old Mrs. Jones is this morning,
as I told you last night?" "Yes, sir."
"Well what's the result?" "She said
that seeing as how you'd had the im
pudence to send to ask how old she
was, she'd no objection to telling
vou she's twcntv-fQiir."
The 'unknown man, whose body
was found between Omaha and Pa

Aphorisms.
Practice economy and industrj,
and success is yours.
Believe not ill of a brother till it
is proved beyond doubt.
Following many Tortious has ru
ined the life of many a man.
There is but one thing that is sure
here on earth, aud that is death.
All sorrows and joys here are but
temporary, so aim higher than them.
Have one settled purpose in life
and if it be honorable it will bring
you reward.
Do you uot delight in the mis
fortune of others, for you know not
at what moment you may fall.
There is that in some men, which,
if not chilled by adversity, would
give to the world grand thoughts.
Laziness prevents a man from
getting off his horse to put ou the
first rail that gets knocked off the
fence, aud through this lazy neglect
a whole field of corn is seriously
damaged. Laziness keeps a man
from driving one nail when one
would do, and finally costs a car
penter bill for extensive repairs.
Laziness allows a gate off the hin
ges to lie in the mud, or stand prop
ped by rails or a stable or a bam
to leak and damage hundreds of
dollars worth of provender. Lazi
ness, in short, is the right and
proper name for nine-tenths of ex
cuses given for bad farming. But
far the most prolific of the many
wastes that are due to laziness is
the waste of ignorance.
Victor Hugo, talking about age
uot long ago, confessed that the
most disagreeable advance to him
was that from thirtv-niue to forty.
"But" said a friend,' "I should think
it a great deal better to be forty
than fifty." "Not at all," replied
Hugo ;" forty years is the old age
of youth, while fifty is the youth
of old aje."
