(The following little atnry with Its moral thimich written for the Mtwin, (Uer;jia Telegraph, in quite ton good to be enjoyed by the la mum of the Month alone : I knew a mnn, and he lirod In Jones Which Jones is a county of rod hills and atone.", And he livod pretty much by Retting of loans, And his mules were nothing but skin and bono, And his hoes were a flat, u lit oom. I bread pones, And he had 'bout a tboUHand acres of land. Thia man and his nanio it was also Jones He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and slunee, for he couldn't make nothln' but 'yellow ish cotton. And little af that, and his fences were rot ton, And what little corn bo had, that was boughten, And he couldn't get a living from the land. "' And tho lunger ho swore the madder he And he rose and he walked to the stable lot. And he lmllocd to Tom to come here and hitch, For to emigrate koine where where land was rich, And to quit raising sock-burrs, thistles and sich, An wanting their timo on barren land. So him and Tom they hitched up the mules, rrotosting that folks were mighty big fools Thai 'ud stay in Georgia their lifetime out, Just scratching a living whon all of them mou't Get places in Texas, where cottlon would sprout By tho time you could plant in the land. And he drove by a house where a man named Drown Wan living, not fai from the edge of the town, And luterod Ilrotvit for to buy his pW, And said that soring aa monoy was ekauo, And seeing as sherilla were hard to face, Two dollars an acre would get the hind. They closed at a dollar end l!ty cents, And Jones then bought him a wagon and tents, And loaded his corn, and his women, and truck, And moved to Texas which it took Ills entire pile, with tha beat of luck, To ge't there and get him a lit'lr land. But Drown moved out on tho old Jonoa fai ra. And he rolled up bis broe ones and bared his arm, And picked all the rocks from off 'n the ground, And ha rooted it up and plowed it down, And sowed his com and wheat in tha lnnd. Five years glid by, and Brown, one day, (Who had got so fat that he wouldn't weigh) Woe n sitting down, sorter lmily. To tho grandest dinner you ever did soe, When one the children Jumped on his knee And say. "Yan'a Joues, which vou bo't his land." And there was Jones, standing out at the feuea, Aud he hadn't no wagon, nor mules, nor tents, For he had left Texas afoot, and cento To Georgia to see If he couldn't get some Employment, and ho waa looking aa hum Bla as if he had never owned any land. But Brown he asked him in, and be sot Him down to his viotuals, smoking hot, And when he had filled himself and the floor, Brown looked at him sharp and lose and swore . That "whether men'a land was rich or poor, There waa more in tha avin than there was in the latul.' I . i KICKED BY CMM K-Vt ORK. Eliplialet Perkins was one of the cu test men in all Swainptowo. He wag & bluvkgmith, carpenter, locksinilh nnd jeweler by traile, and also did something now and then at harse doc toring and pulling teeth, lie whs a Jack at oll-tradei, and master of tbera all. A natural horn genius was Eliph alet Perkins, and nothing short of it. Now Eliplialet took his own calibre, so to speak, and decided that he was capable of doing something some thing in the iuveutivo way that would startle the world right out of its sen ses. Then he sat down deliberately to decide what he should do. It niust be something excessively novel, that was certain, to commence with. What should It be? "I've got it!" shouted Eliphalet, after a long thinking spell ; "I'll make a clock work mau that will walk and run like a human being. That would bring me fame, and would be a big card for a side-show at a cir cus or lair." Immediately Eliphalet, his brain surcharged with the great idea, hroupht all tVe frrca nf hie inventive powers to bear upon it. Three days and three oights he wrestled with the idea, and on the morning of the fourth he successfully evolved the notion mentally constructed the clock-work man to its perfection. During the ensuing six months Eliphalet Perkins worked night and day at his man. Its constructiwn consumed two hundred pounds of wrought iron, three thousand feet of steel spring, tho wheels ut of seven teen old clocks, and other mate rls to numerous to mention. But it was done at last. It stood complete in the back room of Eliphalct'a house for he had kept its construction rigid, ly secret-complete in all its wonder ful parts. It worked to a charm. A keyhole in its back was the winding up place, and when once wound up it tramped about tho room like a thing of life. Eliphalet Perkins was overjoyed. The first thing he did was to go on a grand celebratory drunk, which lasted a week. When sobered up, he pre pared for an exhibit. oo of his inven tion. Swamptown was flooded with handbills, and crowds applied for a preliminary sight of the wonderful thing; but the inventor steadfastly re fused all applicants. The clock-work man should take the first walk at the time and place appointed, and not Be fore nor any-where else. Tho day drew near. Eliphalet clothed his man in a new suit of broadcloth, oiled his joints, and wait ed impatiently for the hour of his tri umph. Swamptown was crowded when the day finally came. The faraa of the I clock-work roan had gone abroad, a ml people flocked in for miles around. At tne appowue'i nour main street, where the exhibition was to take place, was almost impassable. It was with the utmo't difficulty that a passage was kept clear for the expected tourist. At length a shout went up from the crowd nearest Eliphalet's shop, as the great inventor emerged with his ma chine. The latter was carried into the middle of the street And Taced in the direction of the proposed inarch or triumpn. itieit iiiu grout inventor, his face suffused with a glow of tri umph, carefully wound up the auto muton, and pulled out the knob that was to start it. But it didn't start.. Something must bo wrong. Elipha let's heart stood still at the thoaght of failure. He nervously examined the vitals of tha image, aud they seem ed to be all right. What could the matter beT Eliphalet was almost wild. He went around to the front of it ; and that instant there was a sudden whirling sound among the wheels. 8om thing broke loose. Eliphalet stood with his back lo it. The spectators saw the clock-work man sway and quiver, as if the ma chinery was running down with fear ful rapidity. Then thy saw its right foot suddculy projected, and, with a volocity and momentum terrible to cnntemplate the iron pedal struck Eliphalet behiud. Such a kick had uever been known io the world's history. It lifted the recipient about four feet in the air. and when he came dowu it had another rtady for him. The spell bound crowd, ia horrified amazemont, aaw the machine ad vance down the sticet, kicking the un fortunate Perkins with the precision and violence of a walkiug-bearo. No sooner did his feet touch thegrouud thau the out-flying right foot of tha clock-work man caught him on the same spot. Thus the infernal machine marched on and out of the village, kicking Eliphalet bafnro if, and the awe-strckeu crowd chasing It far in the rear. "There a screw loose iu the cussed thing's right leg," jerk ed out Perkins, as ho was bounced from their sight aud hearing. It took six miles to run the clock work down, and overy foot of that dis tance was twelve inches of solid ago ny for Perkins. Wheu he was abla to j leave the house again, tbrea mouths afterwards, he seized an ax auJ sma. li ed the clock-work nun past the possi bility of reconstruction. A WOMAN OH OlttaUE. The little suburban village of Bust letou, near Philadelphia, last Friday witnessed a runaway, followed by acts of bravery and presence of mind on the part of a lady who, with her hus band, says the Press, is well known to our citizens. Tha stage coach from Smithfield to Frankford, in passing through Bustletnn, drew up at the Bustletiut hotel, kept by Mr. Robert Murray. There were three ladies and a gentleman in the coach, which was drawn by two very spirited horses, aud aa the driver .alighted and went into tha hotel for a moment he did not hitch his horses, but merely laid the reins on the seat of the carriage. At this moment tho animals took fright at the sudden eroptyin j of a $2 PER ANNUM. pail of water, and at a bound they were racing down the street at head long speed. Tha gentleman, who was seated at the front of the roach, made his way to the back and gat out, and waa flung heavily to the ground, re ceiving sever cuts about tha head and face. Meantime, the coach with the three ladies was whirled dawn the street at a speed that threeteued in stant destruction to the coach aud poa sihly the death of its occupants, but a lady passenger, Mrs. Bushtieli, waa equal to the occasion. Stooping over the seat she secured a firm bold of the lines, and taking a turn or two of the slack around her waist, put out her strength to check the speed and guide the progress of the animals. She suc ceeded in checking and finally turn ing the horse around aud driving them up to the hotel, when half a score of strong arms helped the brave woman out of tb carriage amidst the warmest praises of the excited crowd who witnessed the transaction. THt WUTWAaEXOetlS.ITS MAIN HfKINU. BY PROF. J. D. SUTLER. Lincoln. Nebraska, 1873. The West draws new settlers into its c.iDacious bosom by its fertility, its free homesteads, and its infinite demand for labor, whether skilled or unskilled. It also drives them to take shelter under its wiugs by com ptlilion. ' ; . , New England once raised her own hread-stufft, but she has long ceased so to do. The produce of richer and cheaper land competed with her farm ers, till it proved more than a match for their skill aud energy. Many of them then turned to manufacturers, but a still larger tiutnber were hence driven west. They made their own sura of the cheap acres there, and en listed in the ranks of the agricultural army which had vanquished them. Thus th West is constantly acting on the East with an increanjng weight, and that of a larger and loi.gnr lave!. Here is one wcrct of its Mpnl growth. It is forty years since the hrst white families cutcred Iowa. . But uo more than oua-third of its prceut popula tion were boru within its limits; two thirds have come in. Of twelve hundred thousand to-day, about one-half were boru in some more eastern State. Foreigu centrie being further thuu the Atlantic slope, frem the West have hitherto felt its influence less but even they were long since driven as well as drawn to scud their sons thither. The influencu exerted upon tbera has been of the samo nature with that which has brought Westward s many from ur own East. II once one'sixth of thr population of Iowa has Come luto it from beyond the Atlantic. Not one sixth of the population of Nebraska were born within its limits. More than twenty-five thousand home steaders and pre-emdtars have filed claims in the land-office at Lincoln, a capital not yet six years old : nad within the last three years, about three thousand settlers have bought farms on the land grant to the Burl ington and Missouri River Railroad en ten years' credit aud six percent, interest, and, on contracts maJe since 1872, no installment of tha principal due till the hegiuiug of the fifth year and then only one-seventh. Tb Westward tidal wave was never so stroug as to-day but it will be stronger to-morrow. The stronger it grows the more strength it has to. grow stronger. Nor can it fair to. wax still more mighty till so naay. of the European millions have migrat ed than the density of population ad. the rate of wages shall hav hme wall nigh equalized on both aitSa. of the Atlantic.

And then h put on that awful bonuet, and bring op the rear with a longhand led rake and a pocket full of bvA aud petunia seed and dahlia bulbs. While he is planting the corn she stand on the cu cumber hills, and rakeovr the etd pan. Then ah put the rake handle over her shoulder, and the rtk teeth into hi hair, and walks over the oth er bed.

About this time ah discovers a better place for the petuuu seed, bo, aaving forgotten where sh last put them, she pmceeds to find them, and within an . incredi ble brief spac of time, succeeds in unearthing pretty much everything that has been put down. After con fusing things so, there i no earthly possibility of ever uuravoliug then again, she says the sun is killing her, aud goes over to the fnce aud stands four hours, telling th woman next door about an anntrif hers who was con find to her hrd for eleven years, and had eight doctors from the eity, but nothing would give her any relief ua. til an old lady but you .
