GOOD COUNSEL.—It is not by mere ac cumulation of knowledge, that you can hope for eminence. Mental discipline) the exercise'of the facultiea of the mind, the quickening of your apprehension, the strengthening of your memory, the forming of a sound, lapid, and discriminating judge ment, are of even more importance than the store of learning. Practice the economy of timet Consider time, like the faculties of your mind, a precious estate that every moment of it well applied is put out to an exorbitant interest. The zest of amusement itself, and the successful result 6fapplication, depend in great measure, upon the econo my of time. Estimate, also, force of habit. Exercise a conattfM, and unremitting vigi lance of the acquirement of habit in mat ters thatare apparently Q{ entire indifference —'that perhaps, are really BO, independent of the habits they engender. It is by neg lect of such trifles that bad habits are ac quired, and that the mind, by tolerating negligence and procrastination in n^atters of small account, but frequent occurrence matters of which the world takes no notice —becomes accustomed to the same defect* in matters of higher importance.. By mo tives yet more urgent, by the duty of obe dience to the will of God, by the awful ac count you will have to render, not merely of moral actions, but of faculties intrusted to you for improvement—by all these high arguments do I conjure you so to number your days, that you may apply your heart unto wisdom"—unto that wisdom which, directing your ambition to the noble end of benefiting mankind, and teaching humble reliance on the merits and on the mercy of your Redeemer, may support you in the time of your wealth," and in, the hour of death, and in the day ofjudgement," may comfort you with the hope of deliverance. —Sir Robert Peel. FEMALK EDUCATION.—'Like mother, like children.* The Rev. S. Dyer says:— When residing among the Choctaw In dians, I held a conversation with one of their principal chiefs respecting the succes sive stages of their progress in tho artsand virtues of civilized life, among other things he informed me that at first start he fell into a great mistake, they sent only their boys to school. They became intelligent men, but they married uneducated and un civilized wives and the uniform result was that the children were all like the mother and soon the father lost.his interest in both wife and children. 'And now,' said he, 'if we could educate only one class of our children, we would choose the girls, for when they become mothers they would educate their sons.' This is to the point, and it is true. FAULT-FrHDniG.—There is a disposition observable in some, to view unfavorably everything that falls under their notice.-— They, seek to gain confidence by always differing from others in judgment and to deprecate what they allow to be worthy in itself, by hinting at some mistake or imper fection the performance.

MINNESOTA A S I IS AGRICULTURE GRAZING MARKETS. Inquiries are often made whether this is a good country for stock raising. If an abundance of natural grazing, and well distributed streams and lakes, can make a good stock country, we have one here.— The severity and length of the winters is the only objection. This is partly compen sated for by the ease with which hay can be procured, and partly by the high prices which will be paid for beef, oxen, and all live stock, as well as the products of the dairy. The severity of the winters makes it necessary for the farmer to provide com fortable quarters for his stock but this need not be considered a disadvantage when it is taken into account that cattle well cared for through the winter are much more valuable than those poor staggering skeletons which are left by the farmers further south to pick up a miserable living on the prairies or feeding out of doors are exposed to all the sudden changes and chilling' winds which belong to winter in that climate. The climate? which is healthful to man, is the best for beasts and accordingly we hear it said that while batchers East and South never kill a hog which has not a disordered liver, the same animal her* gen erally gives postmortem evidence oi*uone. Few of the farmers as yet have found it necessary to build large frame barns to ac commodate their stock though this is cer tainly desirable when practicable. A cheap log structure-, caulked with mud and thatch ed with stiaw, keeps cattle equally comfort able and the hay which in summer was stacked on the ground where it was cut, is easily drawn on sleds in winter and fed out as it is wanted. Farmers here express the opinion that it will be a fine wool-growing country as the ground is dry,the weather regular, and the country mostly free from carnivorous beasts, except prairie wolves, which will disappear as settlements advance. A man who is easting seed into the ground cannot be indifferent about thepro bability of a harvest. We take occasion therefore to say that one of the attractions which Minnesota holds out to farmers is this: A FAIR By various methods of shooting, poison ing, and frightening, these plagues are mitigated and it is not improbable that some of our intelligent farmers will yet hit on some plan of getting rid of them en tirely. As to a market for the surplus products of the farm, we may mention that hitherto there has never been enough raised to meet the home demand. This is especially true of bread stuffs, large quantities of which are annually shipped to Minnesota from Illi nois and IoWa. Of staple products, every thing raised here meets with a ready sale at prices which range from ten to fifty per cent higher than in the States below. The consumers, of the surplus.ate the people of the villages, the numerous lumbermen, the several Indian tribes among whom the Genetal Government annually distribute large sums of money, the United States troops at three .different forts, and the con tinual tide of new settlers, all of whom must purchase their provisions until they can raise for themselves. Such is the present homo market, which .keeps wheat at an average of over a dollar per bushel corn at 80al00 potatoes 25al00 oats 40a90 and other product'in proportion. These prices though they may not look very large ID New England, art considerably in ad vance of Iowa, Illinois, attd Wisconsin.— It is concluded therefore that the same out lay in labor and expense will bring-more liberal returns to the farmers in Minnesota than, in any -other portion of the!' .great Nor&West But, it may be said the presenthome de mand will not always continue. The In dians will be removed, the forts will be abandoned, tht country will be settled up so that there will be few new comers to supply. What about a market then! The answer ia easy: manufacturing towns art springing upon our numerous rivers the inexhaustible mineral lands of Lake Supe rior are not far distant and railroads air ready projected will put us into easy con nection, not only with hungry miners, but also with the ever grscdf markets of the Soath and EasW ¥ot«ovex the frontier will always Da nearerto us than the older States and as that boundaryof civiijaation advances vMetwar^4te*»rda the Bocky1 Mo**t^*e*Ma*oft*iso«i^ ff VOLUME 1, NO, 28.

We have before shown that the nature of the soil prepares it to resist the effects of drouth and of long continued wet wenther, and that late frosts in spring, and early frosts in.faU ara almost unknown W now add that we know of no other and maturity ofordinary crops. And yet we ought to mention heie some of the farm er's annoyances. The birds settle down in clouds on thefieldsof wheat, and devour large quantities. They can be scared off by discharging a gun, but soon return. The squirrels do much less damage, but quite enough to make it an object to get rid of them. The gopher is an underground ras cal, shy as a wease.', and just as spry. He is of the same species with the rat, about as large, wears tremendous whiskers, and lives like a gentleman—by stealing. Potatoes are his special delight but other roots are not refused. ^t ta^w.^fg^*« e?^i furnish us another future market. And then as the rivers of Minnesota flow in every direction, so will the abundant pro ducts of her agricultural toil go forth to the East and to the West, to the North, and to the South. It may be doubted whether any unsettled section of our whole country holds out a fairer prospect for a market for its surplus products than Min nesota does, or combines on the whole,more attractions for those who live by tilling the generous and fruitful earth. MINNESOTA SALT REGIONS. Probably there is not a richer salt region on the face of the earth than the one in Minnesota. The territory is generally con sidered to be valuable for itsagricultural re sources alone nothing, however, can be more erroneous. True, its natural agricul tural wealth is probably second to none in the Mississippi Valley, but ~1ts mineral wealth is not less extensive and valuable.— Among the latter its salt stands pre-emi nent. The region lies between 47 and 49 degrees north latitude, and 97 and 99 de grees west longitude. Its exact locality was ascertained and defined by an expedi tion sent out from Fort Snelling by Major Long, in 1822-23. A description of that salt region, together with its localities, will be found in the topographical department in Washington. Ourfirstinformation of that salt region wasfroma soldier in. the expedition. He says that they had been traveling several days over a vast rolling plain, with no trees or water the troops and horses were al most famishing with thirst, when they came suddenly upos the shore of a beautiful lake about half a mil* in diameter, sunk down in the deep plain. It resembles more a vast sink-hole. From a height above the waters a vast snow bank appeared to line its shore but upon examination it appear ed to be an incrustation of salt as pure and white as snow. The waters of the lake Were like the strongest brine. So strong was it that one bathing in it, upon coming out, in a few minutes would be covered with a white crystalization of salt If this salt region be as it is supposed to be, a railroad projected into it would prove the best Stock in the country. There are mines of undeveloped wealth, more exten sive, more durable, and more important than all the gold regions beyond the Rocky Mountains. We are informed also, that a very short distance below the surface, the pure rock salt lies in a strain like coal or lime lock. We hope the attention of the to the subject There is a region Do you smoke «I do, sir.' 1 1 Now, sir, what is the first duty lawyer!'

Yours truly, YES-I-KNOW-HIM-BEST.'* DUELLING.—^Traveling in a stage-coach, Professor Yince got into an argument with a fellow-traveler about duelling, the neces sity of which the professor strenuously de nied. The other as stoutly-maintained, and insisted that there were many cases which could only be decided by duel. «I deny that," said the professor. PoohPexclaimed the other, "it'squite clear! Why, what else can you do Here are you and I talking together and sup pose we get into a warm argument, and I say to you, you lie, what can you do then You must fight me, there is no other reme dy?" I deny it," replied the professor, with provoking coolness. "Well, but what can you do!" "Why," he again replied, "if you say to me, you lie! I should say, prove it.— If you prove it, I do lie if you don't prove. it, it's you that lie. And there's an end of the matter." RAVAGES OF WOLVES IN IOWA—Two PERSONS DEVOURED.—Owing to the ex treme cold weather for some time past, the wolves in Pottawatamie county have be come dangerous neighbors. Poultry-yards and sheep-folds have been robbed to a frightful extent, and in several instances the hungry beasts have been inclined to spare the human species. About three weeks ago, a man was re turning from a prayer meeting, accompa nied by his two daughters, one sixteen and the other twenty-three years of age. They were all riding the same horse, when sud denly a pack of timber wolves assailed them and being unable to escape by flight, they attempted to defend themselves. Bnt the ferocious brutes attacked the horse, render ing him unmanageable. To oldest daugh ter was partly thrown and partly dragged to the ground, and instantly devoured.— This enabled the father and other daughter to escape. Several neighbors were soon mustered, but on repairing to the spot noth ing was found but one shoe, and. a very few remnants of the unfortunate girl's clotb- A boy of about thirteen years old left his father's house to get water at a spring, which was about half a mile distant, since which time nothing has been seen of him. The pail was found near the spring also, some marks of blood, and a lock or two of hair. Several persons have been chased by these savage animals.—Keokuk Post. GOLD, OATS AN CORY.

W. Orr, Engraver at No. t5 Nassau street, New York, la Mr. Ore's shop there are between twenty and thirty hands constantly employed in wood engrav ing, a branch of business which Is carried on, to be sure, with very little noise. Two or three years ago,, in order to check the dispute which ferqaently arose from tho trifling conversation always apt to spring up where a number of persona ait quietly employed he purchased a beok^nd placing it in the hands of one of his men, requested itjdoud fer the benefit of tht ethers. The work was a very mteresTTng I one, and the reading could not fail to bt agreeable to all who listened. At the clots of the day Mr. Orr, upon examining tho performed by the hands, discovered that they had even accomplished more than their usual task, and thus encouraged ht continued the business of reading on tht following day. Every thing moved OS with the Utmost order in the shop every one listened with -great attention and tho amount of labor performed was fully equal to that of the day before. This was regar ded as a sufficient test of the plan, and Mr. Orr ventured to engage a person fora ahoit period to spend the day in his shop, in reading such works as ht might select for the entertainment of his men. This engage ment has as yet continued, and Mr. Orr declairs that this man is one of tht most valuable persons in his employ. Every morning the leading city papers art read by him aloud, and the men of the establish ment are not only perfectly posted up in regard to the news of the day, but are also rendered familiar with all its current litera ture while pursuing their ordinary arocit* tions. It is true that there art many kinds of business in the conducting of which there it too much noise to admit of anything liko this but there are certaiuly many shops in this city in which something similar might be practiced with great advantage to both employers and employed. Tht success of Mr. Orr is certainly worthy of consideration* —Newark Adv. FANNY FERN MARRIED.—Wt art ap prised through the N. Y.
