The next subject worthy of earnest study is a
married woman; thirty years of age. She is very
ta|) and thin, but sinewy and Strong; cheaply
- hut becomingly attired, for she has sense and
-■ aharacter enough to regulate her dress and’de
_ • Eleanor in good, keeping with her own proper
wanner of. existence. ■ In, her, girlhood she
lived a year or two in the family of a respect
able Presbyterian clergyman j a .domestic, in
deed, but', under the simple rule of manners that
prevailed there, an associate of the family and
a respected member of the household. Here
ihe saw the better style' of life that the Wends
and visitors of the clergyman and his daughters
offered to her observation, and she made large
1 profit of the opportunity. At twenty she joined
•. the Methodist . Society, land shim afterwards
married a Presbyterian, a small farmer, in one
of the sequestered glens which open through
the ridge, where its streams issue upon the
valley. Such farms afforded the leanest Bort of
Jiving, but secured a wholesome, though'scanty,
independence, upon Condition of the steadiest
toil and severest economy compatible with
comfort—tho heaviest end of the .service and
sacrifice always, of course, falling upon tho
-; wife.. .Both Rankin was one of the, best results
, of such circumstances as these. The little in
. right—for it was pot education—which her
Oarly experiences gave her, supplied her with
. steadiness and self-balance, which kept her
above the ‘ women aronnd her, who hadnore
' soarfies against tho Influences, of their condi
tion. She. had seen the rank above her, and
_ : was tbie better satisfied with,her own. That
rank at best was hut the transition stage be
tween coarse rusticity and high refinement. It
had riot the rugged strength of the one, nor the
" cultuVe and nobleness of tho other! It was a
, compromise and a disquiet, and was‘unsound
and unhappy.in its half-way uncertainties and
solicitudes.’ ’ Ruth had seen tills, and some of
itri issues,'and'understood it sufficiently ibr all
her necessary uses!.,
The severe morality and strict religious ob
servances which-she, had witnessed.in that
Presbyterian circle,‘gave Sobriety and steadi
ness to her devotional feelings, and imposed a
wholesomo restraint upon thoir manifestation.
She yielded to-tho greater enthusiasm of her
own church, but hekllf'undef'correction of her
confidence in the soundness of that which she
had .witnessed .in .the manner of those-who
. allow of less display. - : The' doctrines' aad> the
seal of Methodism she heartily approved,'and
believed in its excitements, too, buj governed
her own emotions with more caution than its
customs encouraged. She showed tiie' benefit
. of this balancing, and was relied.upon accord
ingly; Ruth secured the 'quiet, by resisting
the raptures of devotion. * This discipline
. toned her nerves and feelings into such steadi
ness, that she escaped the damaging endeavor
after high enjoyment, and the, depression into
which .sucli tension habitually relapses, Reli
gion was, therefore,-to hor an always, present
consolation in suffering,'and a suro resort for
the enjoyments of the highor life, that could
get no theatre in her surroundings. „ -
As my memory gathers, up theso histories,
and my judgment apprehends them, I grow
more and more convinced that, religion is the
compensation oi the common life of woman-,
hood. I wonder not that piety is their distinct
tion. Tho life of privation' and restraint im
posed upon them shuts the world out of their
conoorn; the habit of submlsslvohoss, the feel
ing,of helplessness, beget.prayer!illness, and
seoret sorrow and solicitude readily resort to
Providence for solace and security.' Moreover,
in rode societies, the sensibilities of the sex, the
play of fancy, and the out-goings of hope and
. aspiration,-have little indulgence in. oilier
directions, and the higher life within has no
ehoice but tho highest objects, or annihilation.
If I even doubted the verity of religious; ox
. perienco I would be too glad of the blessing
there is in it, to disturb, the illusion. But, I
have soon it so tested that it is as certain to me
as the tea, and the treasures of rain which it
distributes over the fainting earth'.
Ruth’s physical and mental ’ constitution, her
early training, and the wholesome influences
of her accidental conditions, were, together,
the true explanation ,of her singular excel-,
lencies. The lack of literature and social cul
ture were well supplied to her by innate appe
tencies and the tuition of circumstances. Her
character is a comfortable assurance that the
, common provision for the well-being of society
is a safe relianco. The value and tho necessity
of systematic education are not at all affected
by such competency fbr Self-developemont as
this woman and thousands of her kind, every
, where found In rustic life, exhibit. . They are
rather the proper hope of its greater fhiitful
. ness, but they are, independently of all formal
cultivation so safe in, themselves, that philnn-
strive without success, to supply the heat helps
«’Tis education forms the common mind;"
but this is not affirmed, nor is it true of our
common schools. lamat a lossto say what, or
how much, Both lost by loss of their, assis
tance j or what she might hare gained by it.
Books had done almost nothing for her; in
her circumstances sho could bare done almost
nothing with them. Yet She was by the grace
of nature and the grace of God a woman worthy
of all reverence and reliance. It were well worth
the trouble of a week’s watching, and study, of
her character and conduc t while she nursed and
waited for the issue.of her child’s illness. Her
- house affairs were ali as usuar despatched by
her own hands, while, the cradle .of the little
sufferer was never-out of her sight. She felt
all its pains and wants as deafly as if its' little
life were but a divided current of her. own.
- Her mind and heart were in constant readiness j
for every chaugo, even for the last, if it should
,come. She never for a moment believed it!
would recover; 1 she knew she should soon have
a child in heaven, that would never grow up
to womanhood and go out of her mother’s arms j
into the world-, ’ and if it might but pass with- j
ontpain into the spirit world, her own best life,
in right- of her motherhood, would pass the
crystal gates to dwoll in its society. The touch
of that baby hand upon her breast, would hold
the two worlds together till hor own hold on
earth gave away, and faith and hope, already
; merging into feeling,'should forever' be swal
lowed up insight. - '
Her strength hold out well, under the unre
mitting waiting and watchirigj 1 through many
i wcary.weeks. Itwas .summer time j the men
were ail day out at work, aud slept heavily,with
fatigue through the short nights.' She . had
: no help from them, in toil, and but little sympa
thetic support in her suffering. Their solici
tude sunk to rest with their hopes. Silently
and sadly they, would sit a moment by the cra
dle, and then turn away to their engagements,
, • with tho feeling that they,had no skill or fitness
; for any service which mights relieve her.
Neighbor women would at long Intervals drop
in, to question her about tho symptoms, tho
■ treatment, and her expectations! but she
• would willingly have been spared everything
in their visits except tho kindness of tbeir'pur-'
\ pose. No ono could do anything for tho little
one but herself; and their awkwardness iu sym
, pathf and unavailing offers of assistance gave
her nothing hut the trouble of declining them,
for reasons tar deeper than those she must in
, courtesy assign for it.
The trouble of dangerous illnesses in cottage
life is chiefly the ihtrusi6n.of every body, who
. can claim acquaintance with the family, into
the sick chamber, the gossipptag gatherings
which it favors, and the troulfiesomq restraint
which tho custom puts upon the . sorrowing
household.. Ruth’s manner of disposing of
such impertinence was delicate, discreet, and j
' ’ admirable. Slieknew its measure aud worth,’
and patiently adjusted her words and demeanor
- to its requirements. She was 'nt much fatigued,
she got gome rest, She said, and if she should
, need their help she would let them know i and
, bo dismissed ‘them without offence. Slid had
one friend, a niece, a quiet, sterling, noble,
hearted girl, who could take her place besido
the t cradle for two or three hours iu the day,
- without the bustle of officiousness or tho ap
pearance of effort, and this was all she needed,
or all of what she needed that she coiild com
mand, and sho made it answer. Tho young
physician in attendance' upon the case niade
. way-calls two or three times a week, but it was
only to satisfy her that they conld do nothing
else, or more, than her own skill In nursing
afforded, for the relief of. tho symptoms which
occurred in its fatal progress, and that other.
' and eqitaliy necessary assurance, that nothing
■ could be done with any hope of benefit. These
visits afforded something more available, how
ever, than all his properly professional assist

~ her j and there was strength for her in the re

. conduct under the severe trial that was upon
her. But for this she would have been too
• much alone in her great struggle. No one else
in. her little circle of associates had tho samo
strength and refinement blended; and the
countenance and approbation of no other friend
could .give her at. once, the solace "of L fully

replies, when hor sons offer her a moro com

I, have stood at her oabin door, fronting tho
ridge which hemmed in the little strip of val
ley, and observed how nature had cultivated it
into its meagre fortuity. Tho rocerd of tho
process lay open to the eye. Tho facts con
cealed under the soda below, wore repeated
and exposed upon’the slope aboTO them. By
.reading the stery in the chaptered terraces
downwards, I could trace it backwards in date
to its origin. First the bare rock, softened
and pulverized by the winds and ruins, had
given sustenance to a moss; the birds and
breezes brought seeds, and brambles sprang up;
these gathered nutriment from the air and died
to enrich the soil which supported them; then
shrubs,' plants, grasses, mingled with a few
flowers, and last of aU trees, got root in the
ruins of their predecessors, until by the life
and death of devoted generations, a middling
maturity was at last attained. How many gen
erations of transition life, how much mother
dust has grown us into our degreo of good !
Toward tho close of,the service an inter
ruption of its quiot, slight, but annoying,
though by no means so unusual or unexpected
as to produce any sorious disturbance, attracts
tho attention of the worshippers, and is enti
tled to ours. Our picture of tho place, and
the manners of the pooplo, would be very
incomplete without it; and tho transition of
the narrative, by its very rudeness, the better
corresponds to the rugged yurioty of our sub
jects.
The school-houso fronted southward, with
out shelter ftom the sun. The old grudge of
the early settlors of this wooden cointry
against tho timber-trees which encumbered
tho land, was still kept up, and tho re-actionary
sentimont in favor of spade trees and natural
groves had not yet.generally aw'akoncd. Tho
bald exposure of the front to the growing heat
of tho clear, warm May morning, had driven
the loafers, who didn’t “ go in ” for the preach
ing, behind the house, where they stood, and
sat, and sprawled on tho grass during tho ser
vice, carefully cultivating the siiade, except
when an occasional horseman passing along
tho road brought them round tho corner for a
brief view of the phenomenon.
A dozen of tlieso young fellows had been
thus trying to enjoy, or ondurc themselves, dur
ing tho progross of the service, in respectful
silence; bnttboyhad wearied of the effort in
the first half hour, and relaxed a little. A
silver watch, , valued at fivo dollars, trading
price, which ono of thorn had got on trial, hod
been passod all round tho party, opened, ex
amined, and returned to its fob. Tho willow
sticks cut by the way, had been whittled to tho
last shaving. Tho brass buttons and calf-Bkin
boots, on parade, had all been scanned with
curious and thorough attention. A new pockot
comb bad been passed round tho company,
and tried satisfactorily ou every head; and the
yawning and stretching had set in which showed
that they had dono up their best and last pos
sible good behavior for the morning, and a
cautious nndertoned conversation began.
Ono of these idlers was a hoy of fourteen
or thereabouts. He laid a rather pretty little
chubby face, pink and white as a lily, and ns
expressionless, except for an effervescing con
sciousness of his color, and curls, and Sunday
costume. His rampant shirt collar soemed to
be as uncomfortable as it was incongruous
with tho lad’s character; tho long points threat
ening to cross swords at tho bridge of hisnosc,
or failing that, ready at tho slightest turn to
plunge into the comers of his eyes. Waist
coat too short and every way too littlo. Shirt
bosom, a fine muslin inserted in a very coarse
body, with the borders of the prettily plaited
parallelogram all in view, fully oxposing tho
utmost limits of its pretensions, ab if expect
ing to gain credit for all the difference which
the contrast displayed. A thin silver brooch,
worth about two shillings, heart-Bhaped and
OULKIu-'gcuiuilj ln.lU~-lt"logo*hor, <nrerno inter
val of the natural whito kid beneath, which it
was thought more' necessary to adorn than to
hide- The paats made so short at both ends
as to show the buttons aboye. and exposc-tho.
legs of the boy’s nrst pair "of “ man’s boots,”
standing liko stove-pipes around bis engulfed
shanks. His jacket, a flimsy cotton fiibric,
made by a cheap tailoress of tho neighbor
hood, with its sloovos vory short and very
tight, and stuck into the body at a pitch so
stiffly horizontal that they cut like a ligature
when tho arms were dropped. The discom
fort of the pinch at tho arm-pit tho boy en
deavors to relieve by inserting the tips of his
fingers into tho very little pockets of the jacket,
which being but two or three inches perpen
dicular below tho stricture, relieves it by
thrusting tho elbows outwards and upwards,
like tho wings of a split chicken prepared for
tho gridiron,,
Such-girdling as the lad’s garniture every
where inflicted upon his person, would have
been intolerable in any other shapo than that
of finery; but good clothes of any cut or stylo
would make him just as awkward. That hlusb
ing smirk in his taco, the snapping light of ids
eyes, the exact parallelism of his feet, the
maintained stiffness of his knees, the tightness
of his straw hat upon his head, and the general
wound-up expression of his wholo frame and
figure, show that ho fools üboat right, and that
his dress is just to his mind.
He has Insinuated himself into this group of
louiging outsiders, because Ilia claims toman’s
company, being as yet a little ambiguous, are
more likely to bo allowed by gentlemen not
very particular about any thing, or responsible
for any thing, than by the class of people who
hare a position, and must, therefore, choose
their company, and demean themselves accord
ingly, If Josh could have been admitted to
the ad (undent degree in tlio society inside of
tho meeting house, be would have been there
by choice, for ho was a good boy; but there
lie would uot have been sufficiently noticed;
and wo all do to liko to pass for somebodies,
and all the more so in proportion to tho dubi
ousness of the claim.
Another sort of these chaps had a represen
tative in Sam , who was «raisod ” higher
up the valley, and had comedowninto this more
promising district npon the enterprise of doing
something for himself. He was not of ago by
threo or four years, but was fully at liberty,
and had been bo for many a day, to tako care
of himself as soon as be was brave enough to
take tho responsibility. Uc is just now en
gaged in the business of grinding bark in tho
one borso mill at the tannery, down tho crook,
but has mado up his mind to begin with « Uncle
Abraham,” one of tho old iarmors inside, in
gonoral work on the farm for the siimmor and
autumn, at six dollars a month and found. This
Sam is a bluff, burly fellow, with a thick
neck and chuckle head, and some conceit in his
yollbw hair which be has drawn put, thin and
thready, along his checks with a wide-toothed
pocket-eomb, leaving the tracks of its teeth
lit long-drawn parallels, sharply preserved in
(fee soap-stiffened locks. The foretop is gath
ered into a point, curved and pitched in keep
ing with tho pretentious turn up of his nose.
His hands aro monstrously largo and unman
agabie; they look as they might do if they had
been steam-scalded two or threo days ago, and
Wore just boginning to eonvalcsce. These
scaly, reddish-brown paws of his aro thrust at
least six inches too far through tho sloovcs
of his new summer jacket, and look, in the
way ho carries them, as if bo were just going to
lay them away some where to got rid of thorn.
Hiß waistcoat of calico lies so tightly upon his
collar bones, that it grins with the strain at (ho
button holes. Tho metal buttons on bis pants
are nowise ashamed of thomsclvos, either.
There are fire of them in the horizontal row
that traverses the precordiura, two in the waist
band vertical to this glittering kaso line, and
one for each sUßpcnder—all in full view. A
man may haro. a soul above buttons, yet still
entertain them aa a sentiment, I suppose. To
Sara; they were something more than a mere
circumstance. To him tlioy were “a thing of
beauty,” and what was more to his pressing
noed, a thomo for conversation. Ho has just
informed Josh, that tho wliolo of them, nine
in front and two behind, had cost hint seventeen
cents,'which Josh ventures to say, in compli
ment to tho buttons and congratulation to Sam,
is cheap.
• We have no sort of use for Sam, except as a
representative matt. . Thero ho stands in our
picture of the actual life of the place, and he
must have mCani something In it. The sub
ject of such natural plants as wo arrogantly call
woeds, belongs to botany i that of the human
lumber in society, to the political economist. X
wish thoy had sense onough to sottlo it.' To
the young doctor who sits at tlio window, taking
Sam’s measure, he imports a poor patient
about the end .of-autumn. A little cash to.
spend at shoptihglmatches,' a few coni-husk
ings, and unreasonable hours at racoon hunt
ings and apple-butter boilings, and Sam is
good for tho ague, and anything else that may
be “going about” when he gets well (?) of
, that. It'he Shall-happen tcbo laid up towatd
. spring with a pleurisy or inflammation of the
lungs, very likely he will marry the-boumj-girl
who waits.upon him, as soon as ho is well reco
vered, and begin housekeeping on nothing in
onu of thccakins across the creek t and so get
himself settled for. life, and then, in duo time,
there willbe a.dozen more of them. • ■ 1
- \ But tho. pivot-man of the pasty who siapds
so BiVfowed and uncompromisingly jhero with
'hjs shoulde r against the corner, ip qpite another
variety of rtisilU. He is hot worth a great deal
more by' the month’ than Sam is, but he is
worth a great deal more to himself, and he
feels it, and does not.dCpend nearly so much
for bis existence and -enjoyments upon his
buttons. Ho drives team for Squire Dickey,
and has seen life “ down below.” Generally,
ho hauls flour no farther than tho river, but
once a year he makes a trip to the city for
store goods; and, if he don’t know a heap I
should wonder. Josh and Sam regularly play
toady and chum, with a difference, to this great
fellow, and holp him immensely to admire him
self when he indulges them with bis notes of
travol. Strango things he tolls them of, and
what is strangest, they seem so common to
him! Tho pleasure of bragging is rl “' n g
almost to a blush in his face, os ho ieels that
ho will have to invent a littlo presently to koop
up the admiration which they give him as lie
tolls them tho length of tho turnpike bridges,
all covorod with shingles; the slzo of tho
taverns by the wav; and, the onormous price
of horse-feed in Philadelphia. There is some
danger, honest follow as he is, that, like other
capital ontertainmonts, ho will have to begin
lying soon to supply the demand for astonish
ing things. But lack of fancy keeps him safe
from all but the helploss desire to sin.
Mike—that ia his popular appelativo in th 6
circle of his pets—is not eloquent, nor cun ho
siifno in tile description of the natural objectß,
which it would bo so mucli to his purpose to
present' for their admiration. Even his
memory, tenacious of particulars, and his
senses, keen as they are in scrutiny, do not
servo to daguerreotype tho streets, and stores,
and crowds of the city. But ho noticed a good
many tilings for their differences from tlio
things at homo, and ho criticises them as con
fidently, but not quite as correctly, as if lie
understood them.
The hurry and rush of its thoroughfares, and
the alarming quickness of tho clerks and ser
vants, and, above all, tho Arc-hells and engines,
have impressed tho toamstcr with tho feeling
that everybody is desperately reckloss down
there. lie looked pretty sharp after himself,
but do ns ho would, ho was always running
into somebody, or somebody was dashing
against him, upon tho pavement, and it was as
much as his life was worth to cross tho streets.
So, as ho felt kind of out-of-joint everywhere,
ho minded his horses, did’nt run to tho Ares or
go to tho theatre, or look about much after
night, though tho lumps mado it as light as
day; and tho morkot-houso, half a mile long I
was sncli a nice place to walk in, for fear the
sharpers would take him to bo green, and pick
his pocket. “ Grantany,” intellects Josh,
“yon do’nt say, pick your pocket in the
street!” “Yes,” replies Miko, with a look at
Josh, dreadfully composed for such a startling
announcement, “Yes, pick your pocket any
where, no matter how wido awake you are; or
knock you over, and haul you up before a
squire and swear you into some sernpo or other,
where nobody knows you from a aide of solo
leather, and you have no more chance than a
cat in a strango garret.”
This docs’nt look spunky in Mike, but it is
knowing, and that is tho feature which lie
•ports with his comrades. Mike’s constitution
settles his sphere for him; he is amiable, he
can’t liolp it, ami he makes no claim to tho
reputation of a devil of a fellow.
His imprcßßions of city life arc not reliable
for depth or accuracy, but they servo as well
as any traveller’s opinions do to exhibit him
self to us, and that is onr object now.
He contributes a good deal to the self-com
placency of his auditors, and indulges his own,
(in which he is not a singularity among tour
ists,) by telling them how ignorant of the com
monest things city people arc. For instance:
He heard, once, of a young lady who had never
before boon in tho country, and mistook a
white-oak stump, two feet over, for a young
treo that had grown only that high. At which
tho whole party laugh till they reflect that they
may bo overboard and reproved. He tclis
them, next, that there are boys in Philadelphia
twelve or fourteen years old who never were on
a horso in their lives, and some that never saw
one! Here Josh pullsup hiscollnr, as if he began
to feel himself, and Sam mixes a little of the
superb into Ids smile. But tho crowning and
clinching fact is one that happened to Mike
himsolf, or he novencould liavo believed it.
“What 7” says Josh, his eye brightening,
and a sweetening smile playing on Ills parted
lips, which give a good deal of innocent beauty
to his fair face. “Do toll,” says Sam, feeling
that tho interest is deepening and the fhn get
ting thicker now, that Mike has a real story of
his own to toll. Miko, thus incited, thrusts out
his leg, takes a fresh quid of tobacco, and pro
ceeds: “Why, you see, one day while I was
waiting for my load, and liad nothing to do, I
thought I'd go into tho market house and see
tho things. So, after I had looked round
awhile, I crossed over to a corner whore an old
black woman was sitting with a basket of ches
nuta to sell. Tho hoys called her Aunty, for
all she was black, and so, I called hor Aunty,
too. And saya I, ‘Aunty,’ says I, ‘l’ll take a
couplo of conts’ worth of your chcsnuts, if you
have no objections’—just that way I said it.
With that, she looked up, and says she, ‘My
chile, you shill havo ’em j and nice chcsnuts
they are, too.’ ‘Where do you get them V says
■XJ'JUBHUI UicoUKQ 01 J"OU IUIUIT. -ww
where should I get ’om V says she. < I buy ’em j
to bo sure,’ says she. ‘ Oh,’ says I, ‘ I thought
may bo you gathered ’em yourself.’ ‘ Why, how
you talk!’ says she. ‘Do you think people
would lot me pick ’em off of their trees!!’ For,
as sure as a gun, she thought they grow’d in
some kind of orchards, I do believe!”
A buret of laughter told how tho story took;
and just as Josh was adding that it was his be
lief that there were enough of pooplo in Phila
delphia, who didn’t know any better than old
black aunty, Uncle Abraiiam, who was seated
in front of tho platform, and had heard, through
tho open window, the talk of the boys, hear
ing it patiently till it got boyond safe bounds,
roso slowly Horn his bent posture, took the
bandanna from his bald head, which ho had
spread out over it to keep tho flics from tick
ling it with their tiny feet as ho slopt under tho
argumentative part of the sermon; and in right
of his age and standing in tho church, takes
upon him to speak to them about making such
a noise. And very gentlo ho is, and, therefore,
successful, nis manner of approaching them,
as lie rounds the corner, tells his story, and
without waiting for tho remonstrance, thoy
quictly withdraw and go strolling into the
woods. Not , far nor quite out ot sight, how
ever, for thoy intend to return and soo tho girls
as thoy pass out of the door at tho conclusion
of the morning service.
The rowdy and refractory fellows, who, by
the-by, are every one of them young married
men, havo been lying in tho fence corner under
tho shade of a sorvice-troo, about fifty yards
up tho lane. They mot hero, because without
appointment they were more likely to meet
each other near tho church than any where
olso. Thoy thought this morning after break
fast, with the whole day on tbcir hands, that
the best chance for help in putting it through
would be likely to fall out some whore about
the meeting house. They have beon for seve
ral hours cluatored here, discussing tho horse
trades and small law-suits of the last week, and
exchanging opinions about hunting and Ashing,
discussing the value of each other’s shot guns,
and comparing tho calibre and range of their
rifles. Every one able te toll, yet every one
tolling the others, tho precise number of bul
lets to the pound any gun in tho wholo neigh
borhood carries. And tho wittiest of tho set
entertaining it with anecdotes, not required to
ho either true or decent, about the preacher
and some of tho brethren, after the usual fash
ion of loose fellows, hnrdcniug their hearts
against tho religious influences around them.
I could nnme this company of loungers to a
man, and tell what any one of them would
think upon any given subject, and, more difllcult
still, I could toll what ho would say; how
lunch conscience he had left for practical use,
and tho things ho thought himself best at.
But wo must drop them now to take thorn up
some other day when wo can do them full
justice.

CHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.—
O THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
is not/ prepared to sell about 1,600,00® of choice
Farming lands, In tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
foos credits, and at low rates of interest.
These lands were granted by the Government to aid
In the construction of this Road, and are among the
richest and most fertile in the world. They extend
from North-East and North*West, through the middle
of the BUte, to the extreme South, and Include every
variety of climate and productions found between those
parallels of Latitude. The Northern portion is cbiofiy
prairle, interspersed with fine groves, and In the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful prairies and openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part of the country—the air is pure and bra
cing, while living streams and springs of excellent
water abound.
Bitumiuoua Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at wany
points at {2 to $4 per ton—and wood tan be had at the
aame rate per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds,
which can be procured for little more than the expense
of transportation.
Tho great fertility of these lands, which are a black
rich mould, from two to Uve feet deep, and gently roll
log; tboir contiguity to this road, by which every faoi
lity is furnished for travel and transportation to the
principal markets North, South, Bast, West, and the
, economy with which they can be cultivated, render
them tho most valuable investment that can be found,
and prosont the most favorable opportunity for persons
of industrious habits and small means to acquire a com.
forUble Independent in a few years.
Chicago is now tho greatest gram market in the world:
and the facility and economy with which tho products
of these lands can be transported to that market, make
them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than
thbse more remote at government rates, as the addl
tion&l cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the
Utter, which must be borne by the producer, in the re
duced price he receives for his grain, Ac.
The title is perfect—and when the final payments are
mado, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
the State, and in whom the title Is vested, to the pur
chasers, which convey to them absolute titles in fee sim
ple, freo and clear of ewery incumbrance, lien or mort
gage.
Tho prices are from $6 to $3O: Interest only 8 per ct.
Twenty per ot. will be deducted from the price for cash.
Those who purchase on long credit,give notes payable
in two, three, four, five and six years afterdate, and are
required to Improve one-tenth annually for five years.
bo as to have one-half the land under cultivation at the
end of that time.
Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish
to examine these Lands, free of charge, and aid them in
making selections.
The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have been disposed of.
SECTIONAL MAPS
Will be sent to any one who will ondose fifty cents in
postage stamps, and books or pamphlets containing nu
tnorous instances of successful farming, signed by re
apoctahlo and well known farmers living in the neigh
borhood of the Railroad Lands, throughout the State—
also the cost of fencing, price of cattle, expense of har
vesting, threshing, etc., —or any other information
will be cheerfully given on application, either personally
or by letter, In English, French, or German, addressed
