WHY OUR YOUNG MEN I.EA\E US.
The tanner, the mechanic, the tradesman,
men in whatever employment or profession
among us complain frequently that our best,
most intelligent and enterprising young men
are continually leaving us. We have no pa
tience with such complaints. The fact stares
us in the face: the complaint is well founded
but the fault is with the complaioer and not
with those who leave us. Then why complain.
Why not rtt ourselves to remedy the fault we
all deplore? He who sits down idly lamen
ting troubles his own laziness or obstinacy
has brought npon him deserves no sympathy. j
Bedford County is to day poor, with a
population scarcely larger than twenty years
ago. Her sons are scattered in every slate
throughout the wide west, enterprising, thrifty
and prosperous. Why are they not here in
stead of there? For 110 other reason as a
general rule than that their parents have been
so old fogy, stolid and ignorant in their ways
that their children, if they bad the least enter
prise in their composition, became so disgus
ted with the slowness of things at home that
they would no longer endure it and left to
seek their fortunes among strangers iu a
strange land. The ways in which the young
are thus daily driven from their homes are
multifarious. The method usually pursued is
somewhat as follows. The farmer leads his
sons at the first peep of morning light to the
fields and then with brief intermissions for
meals, tbey toil till darkness ends their labor
for the day; no books or papers are allowed,
for they take up time that should be eroyloyed
in labor. No improved farm implements,
reapers or mowers or threshers —they coat too
much we can't afford tbero. No time for
school there is too much work to be done-
No holidays they are idle dissipations—Noth
ing but labor from dawn till dark week in and
week out the year through—No experiments
with new crops, uew- methods of culture; new
implements or improved stock, they are ex
pressive luxuries farmers sons must not ex
pect to enjoy—There are no books kept —DO
estimates made of the profit of crops or work
—The father complains of hard work, savs
farming don't pay. declares everybody makes
money but himself and manages in the end to
so completely prevent any enjoyment by bis
children at home and to present so hopeless
and gloomy a prospect generally, that he
manages to drive his children away from
home abont as fast as they reach their majority.
The same programme is followed by the
tradesman and as a general rule with the
same results. All these however fail to
drive some of the more apt away from the
calling of thair fathers, if any of this class are
found who through superior intelligence have
seeu the capabilities of their calling and out
of genuine love for the business of their fath
ers, propose to remodel things and try to im
prove upon the order of things to which they
have been brought up, there is one pretty
sure method of curing their mania. This
c'ass of enterprising youths generally mani
fest a desire to improve the general appear
ance of things at borne by repairing broken
down fences, cleaning up the grass plot, plant
ing shrubbery, Ac., and giving a general ap
pearance of tidiness and neatness about the
homestead. This is a dangerous form snd is
apt to be persistent. It indicates a tendency
to make calculations, keep books, and a desire
to know what things cost, how certain kinds
of work pay, Ac.
These are all unmistakable indications that
the young gentleman is a sort of natural born
Yankee be may do for western farming, but
he is entirely too smart for a Bedford County
farmer. The best way to get rid of him is to
promptly forbid any of these demonstrations,
don t permit a loose paling to be fastened on
the garden fence, the planting of a rose bush
or the removal of rubbish frum about the
doorway, don't allow any books or newspa
pers about at such a time—they are particular
ly dangerous, especially if tbey are of a kind
given to book-tarming, horticulture or any
other new fangled culture. Drive the young
ster to bed as soon as begets bis supper and
wake him up before daylight aodseud him to
feed the hogs by moonlight or curry and
gear the horses by candle light By this means you
will generally either succeed in driving him
away from home, so you will be no longer
troubled with him, or break his spirit into a
tractabilitv that will prevent his ever after
thinking of modern improvements. If you
succeed in accomplishing this last part of the
programme, you may be permitted to enjoy
your hard work and poor pay, your rickety
fences and dilapidateu buildings and scrawnv
cattle, h..d perhaps be able to reach your last
days in the full enjoyment of a pack of dogs
in your kitchen, the cattle in your front yard
and a pig stye under your porch and finally
■lie tn the blissful and satisfying assurance
that you have successfully combatted the nat
ural tendencies of your race to better their
condition and succeeded in leaving your pos
t" .ty as far, if not alittle farther, behind the
age than you yourself were iu the beginning.
FARM ITEMS.
How TO JrDfiE CATTLE. —In all domestic
animals the skin or hide fortns one of the best
means by which to estimate their fattening
properties. In the handle of oxen, if the
hide be soft and silky, it affords a proof of
tendency to take meat. A beast having a
perfect touch will have a thick, loose skin,
floating, as it were, on a layer of soft fat,
yielding to the slightest pressure, and spring
ing back toward the finger like a piece of soft
leather. Such a skin will usually be covered
with an abundance of soft, glossy hair, feeling
like a bed of moss, and hence it is termed a
mossy skin. But a thick set, hard, short hair
always handles bard, and indicates a hard
feeder.
A MACHINE for harvesting com, bv taking
the ears from the sulks while standing in the
field, was exhibited at the reeent State Fair
in Illinois. The apparatus is constructed to
strip two rows at once. The stalks are takes
between projecting metal faced fingers, and
as the machine advances the butt of the car
is brought in conuct with a short sickle,
playing at the rear of the fiDgers. cutting it
off, while the sulk passes under the machine
without being pulled up; the oars are received
into a large hopper at the rear of the machine,
and discharged when it is full.

The Chinese Government having [through the
Hon. Anton Burlingame) conceded to this Compa
ny the privilege of connecting the great seaports
of the Empire by submarine electric telegraph ca
ble, tee propose commencing operations in China
and laying down a line of nine hundred miles at
once, between the following ports, vis

Hong Chean 1.200,000

Total 5,910,000
These ports haTe a foreign commerce of S'.'CO,
000,000, and an enormous domeatio trads, beside
which we have the immense internal commerce ol
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means cf communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos-
Tel syrtem, and her only means now of communi
eating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western World knows that China as
very large country, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realise that she contains more than
a third of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by the local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Hillione, and this is
more likely to be under than orer the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are orer ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her cirilisation is peculiar, but her literature is
as extorsive as that of £urope. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese
merchants, and used by them exclusively for the
transmission of early intelligence. If the tele
graph we propose, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the flrst
two years of its sur cessful operation, and would
steadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of a vast national importance com
meroially, politically, and evangelically.
The stock of this Company has been unquali
fiedly recommended to capitalists and business
men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti
cles in the New York Herald, Tribune, World,
Times, Poet, Expreee, Independent, and in the
Philadelphia Xortk American, Preee, Ledger, In

This Company, N&tienal in its character, of
fers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of
Premium and New Tablee, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the latter
are so apt to create among the Policy-Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need onl> to be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as the INCOME
PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMI
UM POLICY. In the former, the policy-holder
not only secures a life Insurance, payable at
death, but will receive, if living, after a period of
a few years, annual income equal to ten per
cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of hie policy. In
the latter, the Company agrees to return to the
aeeured the total amount of money he hae paid in,
in addition to the amount of hie policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have, is called to the special
advantages offered by the National Life Insurance
Company.
Circulars, Pamphlets and full particulars given

S CATHARTIC PILLS,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally adopted into use,
in every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious
reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those who have
used it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it al
way*--tb-it it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no barm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
Tbey operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
uch derangements as are the first origin of dis
seise.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listlessness, Lan
guor and Loss of Appetite, they should be taken
moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore
its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms,
Bil'ous Headache. Sick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers,
they should be judiciously taken for each case, to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cause it
For Dysentery or Diarrhce , but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of
the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they
should be continuously takeu, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
such change these complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should
be taken in large and frequent doses to produce
the effect of A drastic purge.
For Suppressions a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it iw often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus. *

QUR NEW FAMILY
SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
The superior merits of the "Singer" Machines
over all others, for either family use or manu
facturing purposes, are so well established ana
generally admitted, that an enumeration of their
relative excellence is no longer considered nee
essary.
OUR NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which has been brought to perfection regardless
of time, labor or expense, is now confidently pre
sented to the public as incomparably
THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX
ISTENCE.
The machine in question is
BIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU
TIFUL
It is qniet, light running, and capable of per
forming a range and variety of work never be
fore attempted upon a single machine, -using
either silk, twist, linen or eotten thread, and sew
ing with equal facility the very finest and eoartest
materials, and anything between the two extremes,
in the most beautiful and substantial manner. lis
attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording,
Tucking, Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding,
etc , are novel and practical, and have been in
vented and adjusted especially for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful and popular
folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the
machines manufactured by this Company, ha r e
been prepared for enclosing the new Machine.
A faint idea however, can at beet be gir
through the medium of a (necessarily) limited a
verticement; and we therefore urge every perso
in quest of a SewiDg Machine by all means to ex
amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all tb*
leading rival machines before making a purchase
A selection can then be made nnderatandingly
Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer'
Machines will be found in nearly every city and
town throughout the civilised world, whera
machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any
information promptly furnished. Or communi-
