strong and bright, in the web of life. A

It is the tallsmaulo pearl of ull speech !

"What a cruel fatuity It Is then con
stantly to prate to n starving mechanic
or clerk in a crowded city with not n
shilling lu his pocket to get him out of
town to look for work us u farm hand!
All there Is In tliondvlco "go to farming"
can be briefly squeezed into small com
pass. It lies Just here: there arc opportu
nities in every State In tho Union for an
able bodied man to purchase or rent farm
ing lauds upon which lie can produce
enough to feed and clothe u family with
inoderale desires, providing liohussonio
moans. In order to accomplish anything
In this direction ho must havo capital
enough to get there nnd make u start."
NEVER DESPAIR.
lVoplo tire apt to think that tho hard
times which they experience aro the
hardest times that ever were ; and ho
they are for them. Hut ono only needs
to read the history of the world to learn
that hard times have been nernetuallv
coming to ull nations in all periods of
iiieir exisunco. Aim so nave good
chances for honest people to better their
condition. There never yet was a night
that was not followed by n day, nor n
storm that was not followed by a calm.
The tun Is forever steadily shining lu the
heavens, and tho clouds which some
times oloettro his rays aro sure to break
away and disperse, no matter how dark
nod threatening they may bo for a time.
The brave-hearted that hope on and work

It has been said that some daring ex
plorer lias di-coveiisl some grass from tho
"path nf rectitude." Wo aro not at all
Mirprlofd at tho discovery. Tho "path of
reel it tiilo" Is traveled by so very few peo
ple in these degenerate days, that the
gr.tsi must grow in It with great exliu
ber.inco. in fact, tho path itself is al
most obliterated. There was a time
when It was called a great hluhwnv: but

About Postage
Wero the law regulating tbo rates of postago
hung in eacii man's bouso and bo compollod
to road It three times a day right along, yet
half of tbem would try dally to forward six
cents worth or matter for ono cont, nnd tbo
postmaster as regularly loss it under tbo
tablo to bo usod lor starting tires. Mr.
Tbatohor Informs ua that scarcely a day
paasoa that third rato matter Is not dotalned
at hlsofllco for non-pay mont of postago. For
insianoo, somo person uesinng to forward
tho Wlllaniotto Farmer, Itesourcos of Oro
rod, or any othor largo papor or pamphlet
to a distant friond pasies tho samo in
with a ono cent stamp lickod on; whoroas
tho weight calls for two or four cents.
Kosnlt tho papor or pamphlot, luatoad of
reaching Its destination, Is thrown asldo to
bo used as tho postmaster thinks propor.
Thore Is no law requiring him, nor has Mr.
Thatcher tho thno (though tho inclination no
doubt steals o'or him nt Union) to rush out
and thrusting a man Into ncoruor and choko
a llttlo common sonsa Into him. Dut what
Is (be lino of writing anything about postal
affairs as it has boon, so will ltevor be;
postmaators will contlnuo toluxurlatoin all
Kinds or waoto paper and plonty of it
Now go and wrap up four or llvo largo

of It for you, That's a good follow, do;
you'd fool so much bottor.

In 1829 the now venerable- Peter Cooper
constructed tlio first locomotive In Amer
ica, mid It was run on the Haltlniorenntl
Ohio railroad. But tho first practlcnl
uso of locomotives In this country was
made by tho South Carolina railroad In
1830. This road was tlio llrHt in tho world
constructed with a special vlow to tho
use of steam. Tlio first railroad of any
extent projected in tho United States was
the IJaltimoro nnd Ohio. In February,
1827, tlio llrst mcoting was held to dis
cuss its feasibility. For tills road, ground
was broken In Baltimore on tho 1th of
July, 1828, by Charles Carroll, who said
on tho occasion: "I consider this net
second In Importnncoonly to my signing
tlio Declaration of Indopondenco, If oven
It bo second to that." Tho vehicles on
this road nt first resembled stage coaches
and wero drawn by horses. Peter Cooper
took an interest in tho subject and had a
locomotive built to experiment with.
Tho engine weighed only ono ton nnd
was of but ono horso power. It had tho
first tubular boiler ever made, musket
barrels being used for tho tubes they sug
gested. These fuels aro gathered from a
long review of tho Introduction of steam
on Amorlcan railroads, presented by a
writer in tlio Now York Times.
