"Written by John Walker on the death
of hi father, who died on the 5th of
April, lbo, at Lindsay. Ontario.
Ho in gone, the bravest of the brave,
He ha UniiOied his, career;
But the relic of his labor
For centuries will appear,
lie was the lirt to fell the oak,
.. . The forest llrs.1 to clear,
And Ops will long remember
Ur brave old ploiieor.
O, my sisters and my brother ,
Hail the solace 10 bn thore,
But alas! the least thst I can do
Is to offer up a prayer.
Though distance has deprived me
From the raising of liii bier,
1 hope to kneel yet by his grave,
And shed the silent tear.
I have one rose-bud burled there
"With marble at her head;
Since other tics around me grew
I scarce can think her dead;
The flower long slumb'ring there,
"vTs" once my only pride;
JJut now she Is not lonely
For grand-pa's by her side.
I'll Ptrcw bright flowers around their
grave,
With tears bedew the sod
That wraps the clay of youth and age,
Since their soul have flown to God.
Their faithful bodies calmly rest
Like those Jong gone before;
Their souls, triumphant, live with God
On that Mysterious Shore.
John Wnlkcr,Sea.
From the Canadian Post, Liudsay,
Ont.f we clip tbe following, con
cerning John "Walker, Sr., dee'd,
father to John Walker, Co. Com
missioner of Platte county :
"It is our melancholy duty this
week to record the death of one of
the oldest scttlcra and ploneors of
the township of Ops: John Walker,
senr., who died suddenly on Monday
last at the homestead, on the 13th
con., at the advanced age of eighty
four years. Tho old gentleman was
hale and hearty to the last and wao
io full possession of his faculties.
On Monday be had partaken of
dinner at the usual hour aud after
wards lay down on the bed for a
rest. lie conversed a little with bis
aged wife, who is nearly blind.when
the latter getting no response to a
remark, ascertained that his face
waB remarkably cold. Mrs. Walker
gave the alarm and on some young
er members of the family repairing
to the room it was found that death
had claimed the old pioneer. Tho
deceased was born in Tyrone, Ire
land, in August, 179G, and as a young
man lived in Fermanagh, near Cas
tle Archd.il 1, where he occupied a
email farm. He took his father's
place iu the militia drafted in 1815
and was stationed at Tipperary at
the time of the battle of SVatorloo.
He married iu 1817 Catherine Mc
Donagh, the daughter of n neighbor
ing farmer, and in May, 1831, with
his wife and family of tour sons and
one daughter set sail for Canada.
The voyage from Londonderry to
Quebec took exactly a month, and
very nearly the samctime was Liken
in getting up the river to Cobourg.
They came thence to Pctcrboro, and
by a scow on Mud lake and Pigeon
river to Omemee. He took up land
whero the homestead is now, and
ever 6ince remained there. When
ho came in the road hud to be un
derbrushed. Some live years before,
his wife's brother, Patrick McDou
ugh, had settled In Ops, aud tho
new-comers joined their relatives.
They all had to uudurgo the hard
ships and privations of the early
settlers, the mere recital t which
appal those who go forth the-etlays
as pioueers with railways a few
miles after them. Then the settlers
had to convoy on their backs pro
visions and grists to and Irom Co
bourg or Port Hope along ''blazed"
tracks, and for years afterwards
endured inconveniences that would
not have been overcomo except by
unflagging patience and porsever
ence. As a reward for their long
and weary toil the bush was trans
formed into fertile farms, surpassed
by nono iu the province. John
"Walker prospered and in addition
to his first hundred acres purchased
enough land to give each of his
children a fine farm. Ho is under
stood to have built the first log
bouse in Lindsay for some person
whose name has "boon lorgotteu, aud
he helped to build the first locks at
this poiut. Ho was an aotivc, eu
ergetic, hard-working mau, and was
remarkable for his cool, courageous,
indomitable spirit. He was a man
- of liberal mlud and geucrous heart ;
a good neighbor, a kind and Indul
gent father nnd husband. His large
family were well providod for and
educated; and although many mom
bera were in time scattered over
various parts ot the country he
evinced a deep Interest in their wel
fare. Counting children, grand
children and great grand-children,
t his descendants reached tho large
; number of one hundred aud thirty
JJ seven. Only one of his children
v died in infancy ; and of the descend
er ants It may bo nid that all are
active, healthy, vigorous people, and
some of the great graud-children are
twenty years of age. Of his own
children in order of seniority there
are James AValker, now in Michi
gan: Mrs. McIIngh, widow of the"
"et ato P. McHugh. Ops; Samnel
N pre "Walker, residing In town; John
Ly "Walker, Columbus, Nebraska; Wil-
Ham "Walker, Sheldon, Iowa; An-
drew IValkcr. formeily councillor
and reeve of Ops, and now of Essex,
where he is councillor; Mrs. Jere
miah Scully, living In town ; David
Walker, councillor, living on the
homestead, and Francis T. "Walker,
counselor or barrister, Dubuque,
Iowa. Several of theso were 60 far
away that they could not be present
at the funeral, and Mrs. McHugh
was kept at home by illness; but
Mr. Andrew "Walker aud Mr. F. T.
Walker able to reach Liudsay in
time to follow to the grave the re
mains of their venerable parcut.
' For upwards of thirty years past
' the deceased had given the active
mauazement of farm allairs to his
Bonh and for many years had enjoy
ed the comfortable oase to which
his advanced years entitled him.
He was cheerful and happy to the
last, and had an Inexhaustible fund
of anecdote and reminiscence of
early times. The funeral on "Wed
nesday afternoon to St. Mary's
church and the Catholic cemetery
vbb nnn nf ibp larcrest that b.88 taken
place in Lindsay, despite the badj
roads ana tne omer wiuu. mo
cortege numbered over one hundred
teams. The bereaved family, have
in their affliction the sympathy of
r the entire .community,; for there
were few who did not kuow and
.fetteem the old pioneer who has
tta called away."
Patron.
Some of the trees have taken their
cuo from the cedars that began "a
wearing of the green" several weeks
ago; tho blue-grass is reflecting the
63ino and small fruit bushes arc fall
iug into line as fast as possible, iu
fact there is considerable verdancy
lyiug arouud loose that communi
cates it6elf eveu to tho human subject.
Farm work is being pushed with
a vim that argues well for future
crops.
Chas. Rounds and Flecher Derby,
with their families, who hail from
Illinois, have taken up their abode
in Bellwood for the present season.
I believe Mr. R. intends farming oue
of the many corn-fields adjoining
Bellwood. Tho Illinois people are
at home on Nebraska soil, and are
good farmers, too, therefore we ex
tend the hand of fellowship to them,
and give them a welcome to the
advantages of our young State, the
chief of which is cheap land, as pro
ductive aB Illinois could boast in her
palmiest days, besides being so
healthful, that, in some instances
people left behind them what their
friends had thought were their
death-beds, andcomingjiither "liv
ed happy ever after," as the story
books say.
The infant town is receiving Its
full quota of trees and shrubs. The
inhabitants "talk trees" to a man,
and tbe ladies, God bless 'cm, they
help. Joseph Balrd, the former
post-master of Patron, ha3 resiguod
in favor of J. I). Bell, but will con
tinue to conduct tbe business of the
office for a time. Mr. Baird has se
cured some lots, and has planted
cedar and other trees on them. He
is quite an enthusiast on the subject
of tree planting; began raising trees
years ago in Illinois, when it was
comparatively a new enterprise, and
raised a grove of Bcveral acres that
contained thirty varieties.
R. B. Finch and E. A. Buck, who
have just returned from a trip into
Holt and Autelope counties, report
the tide of immigration in that di
rection as being immense. Hotels
were crowded to suffocation, and
hacks and coaches filled to overflow
ing. They saw beautiful stretches
of splendid land as good as the
world affords, and a great deal of it
was takeu. They each took land in
Antelope county, under the timber
culture act. Grass 'grows in tbe
Elkhorn valley as high as a man's
shoulders, tho' I don't know how
tall the man was supposed to be.
Since writing the above I have
learned that the townspeople held a
meeting on the evening of the 16th
to consider ways and means to pro
mote shelter, aud all agreed to turn
out en 7iiassc on Arbor Day aud
plant trees. I want to 6ay "score
one"r Bellwood, and I believe I'll
do it regardless of consequences.
It is remarkable how tho grain
continues to como in. Two car
loads of hogs wore shipped from
here last week, and still they come.

Weal tli and Happiness.
"Can gold calm passion or make reason
shine?
Can we digpeaee or wisdom from the
mine?"
Wisdom to gold prefer; for 'tis much
less
To make our fortune, than our happi
ness." If yon wish to'proraoto the'happi
nesa and welfare of your family,
especially that of your children in
coming years, supply them with
good books and papers, for the
minds of tho young cannot remain
empty; they must be stored with
good or evil ; and if you do not pro
vide them with good readiug, you
may well expect them to procure
elsewhere, that which is worso than
none. It is of immense importance
to both old and young, that they
have access to good books and news
papers. Dr. Holmes says, "bread
and the newspapers we must have,
whatever else we do without." Tho
best wealth is of the heart. They
are not only the wealthiest, but the
happiest also, who have the largest
stock of wisdom, virtue and love,
who pity the unfortunate, find good
in all men, and who cling closely to
their family and friends. Though
you have piles of gold, yet you can
not feel either happy or wealthy as
you depart to that land where you
will abide forever, unless you leave
41 legacy of noble deeds done in the
name of humanity, examples of
neighborly love, lessons of patience
in suffering and adversity, and of
heavenly confidence when no sun
beam fell upon your path.
"Into all lives Rome rain must fall.
into an eyes some tear-drops start.
Whether they fall as a gentlv shower.
Or fall like fire from an aching heart."
But,
"Into all hearts, and homes and lives
God's dear sunlight comes streaming
down,
Gliding the ruins of life's great plain,
Weaving for all a golden crown."

A sufferer from bedbugs writes as
follows: "After fighting them eight
years, I learned, from a girl that bad
served as a chambermaid in a large
boarding-house, that bugs can be
extermiuated for all time. I imme
diately followed bordirection,whIch
was to take grease that had cooked
out of 6alt pork, molt it and keep it
melted (the vessel can be kept on a
pan of coals), and put it with tbe
feather end of a quill luto every
place where I could find a bug. It
is necessary to see that the bed
cords or slats are entirely free from
the pests. It is more than thirty
years since a bug has been seen in
, my houie.

FLY SWIFTLY ONWARD.
BY MIXA JACKSON.
Oh! wcarv hou, lake thy flight;
I'm weary of this endless pain,
This restlessness of heart and brain,
And long forpeace again to reign,
Oh! take thy onward flight.
And sorrow, too, begone;
Thy chilling breath has slain my flowers,
And turned to tears my April showers,
And shadowed all my sunny hours;
k"Vith all thy gloom, begone.
Will not thy shadows flee?
I'm longing for that golden dream,
That, like the yellow suulight's beam
Falls, sometimes, 'thwart life's hurrying
stream,
And leaves a ray of light.
Why 'cloud thus all my joy?
Vnn'vo t!ikfn nil th smiles nv

Thnt turned December Into Jlav:
It seems mv heart vou've turned astray,
With all" this woe.
Ohl tarry not so long;
With haunting memories there you
stand,
Hope's withered flowers In your hand,
A mocking, helpless, shadowy band.
Oh! haste thee on thy way.
Fly swiftly onward, dreary hours;
You bring your phantoms of the past,
Like leaflets, drooping In the blast,
And chill me with thy gloom at last;
Fly omvard, slowly dragging hours.

Ceres, April 15th, 1880.
Editor Journal : "Wo are hav
ing one of theheaviost rain storms
of the soason. It has rained for
days and still raining. All the San
Joaquin valley can now count on a
good crop of wheat, I think, this
season. It Is "hot often we get such
heavy rains, and so general at this
time of year; late sowed wheat will
probably do as well as the summer
fallow, as it will have less weeds and
not be so'apt to lodge.
Building is going on all along the
line of the railroad more than usual,
aud prospect of a steady growth of
the towns along tho line never was
better.
Land has gone up iu this county
to about twice the value of two
years ago, and farmers making good
buildings to stay with, but the great
part of land is owned by large land
holder, and rented out and of
course the improvements on such
places will be less and the dry years
freeze out the "small fry" and it
seems to go more and more into the
hands of the large holders that dry
years do not use up ; but, all things
considered, in my opinion there is
no better region for wheat in the
States than the Sacramento aud San
Joaquin valleys ; it costs less to put
in and take off than at the east, and
we have all dry weather to harvest
and thrash, and can take all the time
we like to do it in and not be afraid
cf showers and grown wheat.
The grouud is full of water, and
still it comes. If it was not so late
we might anticipate a California
flood or grand overflow of rivers.

Seed Corn.
At this season of the year the in
quiries concerning seed corn are
numerous, and it gives us much
pleasure to record tho fact, for it is
Indicative of a growing interest in a
most vital part of succeful agricul
ture. "While good seed, without the
proper preparation of the soil and
proper culture, will not be enough
to insure a crop, without good seed
all else cau cortainly not assure it.
Until comparatively recently this
has been a subject which strangely
enough has received but little at
tention, and it would be startlingly
interesting, if wo could know the
aggregate of loss which has been en
tailed upon the farming community
through tho apparent belief that a
kernel of grain was all that was nec
essary for seed. But the case is
vastly different now, and it is a cause
for congratulation that it is. No
doubt there is still a great deal of
carelessness iu the selection of seed,
but it is iu no wise as great as it was
onco among intelligent farmers.
Perhaps there may be exceptions
which, while they do not show
themselves in a total disregard of
the importance of carefully select
ing, are marked by a failure to re
cognize all the principles which
enter into the make up of perfect
seed, and a very important principle
is that which makes the rule : Like
begets like. Now a small, naturally
shriveled kernel of grain, from au
excellent variety, with established
permanenco of characteristics, may
produce a perfect grain, but a much
greater certainty of such result may
be relied upon if a perfect, fully de
veloped seed is sown or planted.
Indeed under favorable conditions
such seed will reproduce itself. It
is not enough, as the experienced
reader well knows, that a grain of
corn be large, to insure a reproduc
tion of itself. "With all cultivated
plants there is a tendency to degen
erate unless forced into progression
or fixedness. It requires a great
deal of patience and labor to fix the
characteristics of new grain, aud
when they have becomo fixed, the
farmer who owns such grain should
seek to maintain them by a moBt
careful selection of seed for future
crops. Western Mural.
Lord Teignmouth relates that his
tutor, the Bev. Mr. Jerram, was one
day preaching when he was dis
turbed by snoring. He more than
once appealed to the supposed
sleeper, and at length peremptorily
intimated that, unless tho good man
or woman whom he attributed tbe
interruption were awakened, he
most discontinue his sermon. "Sir,
exclaimed & man from a remote part
of the church, "it'i & fowl!"
V ftobraHka.
Auother evidence of tho richness
of tho soil of Nebraska is found in
the fact of the number and great
growth of the native grasses, which
afford tho very best paaturago from
early spring until tho month of No
vember. Those who havo investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred aud fifty species. Among
other varioties the blue-joint grows
everywhere in the State except on
the low bottom lands. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its growth is from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to the
height of seven and ten feet. On the
up-Iands, blue-joint grows in groat
abundance and Is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now in the
greatest quantity is found in the
western half of the State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but It is nature's proyision of
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, when tho animals are com
pelled to remain offthe prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all the year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly in the State are
several varieties of bunch grass ; and
iu the low lands a native bluo-grass,
aud what is known as the spangle
top, which makes an excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among the first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in the
State or not, but finding tho wild
fruits, such as plums, grapes, aud
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that applo orchards
might be cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the oarlier settlers in
the eastern part of the State planted
their orchards aud their first plant
ings failed, but the persevered and
tho result has been a complete suc
cess. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other states. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va.,onp
hundred and forty-six varieties of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen of
pears, one of plums, and ono of-
grapes, aud was awarded the first
premium for the beat collection of
fruit among all the States. The
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago and at tho
International Exhibition in 1870, the
judgeB awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth and
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixty-three varieties of apples,
the latter prize being for tho unusu
ally large number of finely grown
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in the eastern part of the
State and near tho Missouri river,
they do well away out ou the prairie
wherever nature's couditious of
growing fruit are observed.
The statesman who dreamed he
was a dark horse found it was a
case of night-mare.
