They iiiust use Ihtar brains as well as hands. They mast do niorethinkingand plan ning if tbt y desire to rm-lve the best Tesults. The lawjer studies law; the doctor medicine; the merchant tuust study commerce the laws of supply ted demand, and the banker niiwt ac quaint himself with the principles and details of fiuances. Just so the farmer must study farming.

A lawyer and an editor stood on a street corner in an Ohio town and saw a man murdered .11 vt.wt TV,j mnrdfrer is a in rvuu rich man, and after committing the deed he ud to the lawyer and editor : "Here are a thousand dollars for each A yon, defend me before the court and the people for the crime I have com mitted." They toot the money and defended him in their own war and according to their own profession the editor through his paper and the lawyer through his mouth. The mur derer through their joint efforts was acquitted. But see the difference mark the result. The people said: "The editor is a scoundrel, and did so for pay. Lo! we will stop his paper and no longer patronize him." The ,x psicrwss stopped the ediotr ruined X- iknclallv and reduced to a pauper.

Lcavanworth Times. A meet dwgrarefnl and dipguslicg exjwwnre of the lowest and meanest inuiginal le thievrry has been unearth ed at fi-okaae Falls. It is nothing IC8S than that two or three members of the city cocr.nl and a police officer tad successfully conspired to steal a large portion of the oontrll n kms sent to the stricken city after the great fire a few weeks g InaBa, an employe of the relief committee, bad been de tected in robbing relief funds, and on capture and return he "niealed" on the others. Waters, one of the eneak-thievea, is not only a member of the council, but territorial commissary-general. There are a large number of people in every growing community whoe land has been douMd in value by the rise in gurroomliag property, without a f ingle effort leing put forth on their part, or the expenditure of a single cent. This may have been the result of shrewd investments or it may have Iseen luck. In either cane, the owners of suth land should M an obligation to liberally mjpiKrt the press, which dot s more than any other one factor towards promoting the growth of the town, and should willingly help for ward, according to their mean, every public enterprise.

The following article, from the Mcxia (Texas) Ledger, contains many sentiments wlach are very good, and some of which we endorse: "I wish to speak to some of the good patrons and friends of our school, re lating to some points on education. The most of you have often revolved such thoughts as the in your mind : What is the U'st thing I can do for my Mary or TommieT They will leave the parental circle in a few years, and what shall I give them as their portion? What kind of men will my boys make? What shall my precious daughter do if the fates have decreed she shall live alone? Too often are these questions put to one side with out receiving due consideration. Often to the detriment of the child do they decide to leave it all the money or land possible. If you winh to make your son a man whom people will honor, give him an education that will so mature his mental powers that men will seek his counsel If yon wish to leave 1dm a legacy of the greatest val ue, and make him self-sustaining, ex pend bis portion of the estate in edu cating him. What assurance have you that it will be his in ten years hence? How much money will he have paid out for taxes and general repairs, etc, during this time? If it should take the wing of the morning and find lodgment in the hands of an other, what is left upon which to de pend for comfort and supjiort? But on the other hand, if the estate is in vested in an education, there are no taxes to pay on it, no way for any one to gull him out of it, but it is his as long as he lives ; and with it he can, with less exertion than with the mon ey, reap an hundred fold. Then which is the better investment Iot your son? "Mother, what are you going to do with your daughter? Are you raising her just to marry some man that by chance may come along? If so, may the eternal fates ever decree against you. Who are the happy women of our lovely den, wives or maids? Cer tainly those who are nearest man's equal If your highest aspiration is that your daughter should "marry well," you would want the man to have a noble character and high aspi rations. For an example as illustra tion: Do you suppose a man on the earth, where the rays of the sun are so blight and genial, would be happy living on Jopitcr (supposing it were inhabited where the light is very dim and all other things inferior to those on the earth? It is just as un reasonable to presume your daughter with heart and head uneducated to be admired by a roan with the above noble traits. Then for her own hap piness you should educate her. But it is your duty so to equip her that ahe may sustain herself, if left without a protector or money. Listen t the words, the burning words of Husse! Lowdl : "Xot failure, but low aim is crime." Chi last Monday evening we made a virit to the flourishing little town of Pcio, and while there we noted several new buildings going up and some just finished. They have two new bricls in course of construction, one nearly completed and the other just started, and several other improve ments, which show the town to be on the increase. One thing we would speak well for, and lhat is their real estate offiice, Myers t Fhelton, propri etors, which has certainly advertised the town well.
