I ANV sl i L Slattonal Banner, A A A ARI oo i e INKDROPS INLAND. _ BY GRANDMOTHER GRETCHEN, - They say that “Grandmother Gretchen had better write another piece,” 30, in compliance with their heartfelt (?) request, I take th? opportunity tosay a little about a certdin art called fault-find-ing. . i Sy In days past we supposed that only Btep-&others. old maids, and rheumatic bachelors were the patrons of this science, but modern philosophers set forth the idea that many of our fellow beings are adepts in its mysterious miseries, and hence we wilk touch the mainspring of conversation by analyzipg the principles of the touchy, grumblers. The foundation of this growing evil appears to be a revengeful spirit, com bined with a habit of being particularly contrary o’/ all oceasions, and especially when friends are observed to be unusually pleasaiit and willing to please. Doubtless a.desire to provoke somebody, or be provoked, prompts many persons to become vexed wit}P niere trifles, and thus become ill'natured and' habitvally morose and fretful. But certainly there is no 'satisfaction in conducting ourselves in this way ; if there is, it must be a sort of thunder-cloud satisfaction, #h which enjoyment and happiness are not known; indeed, are we to supposa that a person given ‘to| fault-finding is ever cheerful at heart? I think not. I often have in my musing hours wondered why grumblers shoul@“devote their time to such a dreadful waytofkilliug themselves ; in fact I deem it nothing more nor less than a slow, influential suicide, atténded by all the imaginable difficulties incident to a useless method of whining_ out existence.— Excuse the phrase, kind reader, it is my definition of fault-fin ling. : The cold, dreary clouds of discontentment and dissatisfaction, commonly called “the blues,” ever dot the horizon of the unfortunate Mr. Pettybone, whose ausociates cooly regard hun asan object of pity with whom they cannot sympathize. Now, if a grumbler ever: feels more miscrable ‘than those that fate has thrown within' the bgl_u,dqrics of his tyrannical, disagreable influencé, and who are always subject to his particular lectures i conse‘quence of some failing which annoys him cépstantly—'l pity him. "'Oftean feel as if I'were completely in the way of thig"class, and 1f you have ever experienced the consciousness of constantly doing comething to irritate, yet are not.aware of the -nature of the ineult, while you ignorantly thwart the wislies of a confirm ed grumbler in the attempt to please him, then you may with safety make an estimate of the unpleasant sensations com‘mon to-the household of a fault-finder.

~ Many of these disagrecable characters are found to be the most polite, obliging members of society, when you perchance meet them on the street, or in the lectureroom and in'public ;assemblies. Putting on the blandest of smilés, you are captiva- 1 ted by their seeming cheerfulness and ‘are ready to extend your warmest cnnggatu-l lations, but 'ere conversation has {hrown | its charms around your meeting you are | startled by a scarl from your companinn} because somebody lias done something, or told somebody else that he did something thet was not just right when “it was none | of their business.” There are othiers that find fault continually. “Everybody is so provokingly contrary ‘that an honest person finds no peace,” is the popular strain of this class and 16 wonder, for as the storm is mirrored on the bosom of the tranquil lake, 30 does a grumbler see his own actions ‘reflected by the shadow of misery he invariably throws o’er his pathway. | ‘We cannot love the fault finder, you can'not, no one else ean, and so he goes mutfering along life’s path, calling this pleasant, cheerful world a miserable howl ing world, because he, forsooth, goes howling throngh il , -

He can hardly live, people are so irritating, and tilmes are 8o poor, and he is not resdy :i))liie when death comes, for Yifo ko ou shiviet; o mighiv us WEil HaVe vy lived at all.. In this last, perhaps, he is right, for’ who is imost miserable—the grambler of his associates? - gl : - — i L ‘ For the National Banner. l - Calture of the Peach. Can we raise peachies in'this latitude? "The iwriter is of the opinion that we can;. provided we are willing to take a little pains for the purpose. My plan is this: Plant your trees, say ten, twelve or fifteen foct apart in the rows, leaving a space between rows, of twenty-five or thirty feet. - Form low tops., Don’t let them rise over four or five feet from the gtound: In‘the fall, drive rows' of stakes or posts on each side of the rows, to: receive eross pieces on which to place straw sufficient to protect them from the.severe frosts of winter. Sometimes a slight protection is su‘tfici‘eq:t. In the spring; of 1869, when my own peach trees presented a very slonder promise of fruit, a neighbor bf;xii?ké nfi%ffiofi ir«gmdmg&nlz:: his House that made a fair show of blossoms. i A sprout from one¢ of my peach trees that

was broken down; was: protected by the - siwow und blossomed freely, --~ 7 - i & Mr: Bolmer, of Ohio, s sticcgssful gor§icultgrigt, adopts a similar plan, and seldom fwils of 4 crop. He also banks up his trees to the hight of two or three feet or more, to protect from labbits, insects dnd wind. Hé Juts back his trees every second. yedr, or oftener, with good results, “F, X, Phonix, of Bloomington, Tll., recommends protection fof the'peach. He says: “It has been done in a small way a 8 far north as Bt. Paul, Minh., by low tmmining,, pinchitg bagk;to barden:the wood, and then bending down and toveting ‘the branches over winter” - -§ Liefsthe farmers in the latitude of ncrth. % try some feasible mode of DRI i oot Chid akig e “Seprged st venit may (pfobably will) be, that we shall bave an abundangce of tlint délicious fruit) ¢ 0 ] pps 8 b oo\ T Hundox, Bew. ‘fdwpsccfi‘,’{hd:{ Dec. 4th, 1869.

' The Philadelphia Age ‘states that the property exempt from taxation in that city is over $40,000,000. . Most of this ‘immense sum | is, of course, in the hands of privileged bondholders—that is, it is in the possession of the proud and wealthy. The poor and humble are taxed extra tomake np the difference. These bondholders donot even pay their proportion of the expense of the police who prevent their ‘oonds from being stolen. ‘They do not even pay for the roads on which they travel with their carriages: They pay for nothing, and will not have: anything to pay as long as the Repub’ lican party is kept in power. This they “Gnderstand, and, therefore, support it with their money and influencé. The strange thing is that the masses are fools enough {t.o aid them in their exactions.

~ Bannuy, in his book, gives the following, qfi delivered by him at his first lecq‘urd in London, in 1858, on “The Art of Money Getting:” : " Read the Newspapers—Always take a trustworthy néwspaper and thus keep thoroughly posted in regard to the transactions of the world. Igg who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.— In these days of telegraphs and steam, many important inventions and improvements in every branch of trade are being made, and he who don't consult the newspapers will eoon find himself and his business left out in the cold. : '; SoME one whose imagination outruns the facts in'the case, thus tells what he wowlado: 1 * SR | .

Tug Wuear Cror.—The growing wheat crop of Laporte county is not as good as could be desired. We have taken the trouble to léarn the feeling of our farming conmunity and find that there is a general opinion that the erop on the ground is light and does not augur a heavy yield. For some time after the wheat wds sown it was exceedingly (f;:y, and the rain which we had during ‘the fall did not seem.to wet, down far enough to give life and vigor to the growing eshoots; the stools are small, and the crop appears light and’ in danger of being winter killed. The early cold weather largely interfered with the fall growth, but a favorable spring may give the orop a more hopeful appearance.— La- ‘ porte Argus. | The crown Princess of Russia is said to be losing her mind. .
