11 HA not through yet. Your wife don't tell yow any more little stories, but she gets your old coat and hangs it on you, and smothers you with the carpet, and opens the back door and shoves you out, and intimates that the carpet needs whipping. When you hang the tormenting thing across the clothesline the wrong way, and get it righted, and have it slide, off into the mud, and hang it up again, and get half a pint of dust and three broken tacks snap ped out of the northwest corner into your mouth by the wind, you make some obser vation which you neglected' to "mention while in the house. Then you hunt up a stick and go for that carpet. fixgt blow hides the sun and- all the air face of nature behind a cloud with' the wind square in your face, no matter- how you stand.

You wield that cudgel until both hands are blistered, and the milk of human kindness curjlles in your bosom. You can" whip the carpet" a longer or shorter period, according to the size of your mad; it don't make difference to the carpet; it.is just as dusty and as fuzzy, and generally disagreeable after you have whipped it two hours as it was when you commenced. Then you bundle it up, with one comer dragging, and stunible into the house, and have more trouble the stove, and fail 'to -find any. way-: of using the carpet stretcher while you stand on the carpet, and get on your, knees, once, more, while your wife-holds the and; with blind confidence hands -you broken tacks, crooked with no points, tacks with no heads, with no tacks with the biggest end at the point. Finally the carpet is down, and the baby comes back, and the cat comes back, and the dog comes back, and your wife smiles sweetly, and says she is glad the job is off her hands.

He says' that, he will always remember the kindness: of that man. He left this house but his resolution to go to church was unshaken, 'and he limbed around (for he had on a pair of No. 6 female shoes, on a pair of number 10 feet,) and found an other house. He went and took; his posish near the pulpit, (no reserved seats,) where he might get the full- benefit of the sermon.

He paid strict attention for about half an hour, and failing to comprehend the, drift of the ministers remarks, and at the same time making -the discovery that the divine was from foreign and preaching in an unknown tongue to a printer. He made an apology to an old lady, regretting that he could not stay to hear the remainder of the discourse, left.

Our conclusions have been very favorable to our adopted home, for many good and substantial reasons. The first and most notable reason, nd one that is noticeable by every observing man is that Emporia is surrounded with nature's bounties and blessings, in the form of rich soil, a healthy climate, plenty of stone, coal water. Nature has done all that is required of her. Emporia is the commercial center of a vast territory, including several large grain and stock producing counties in the very richest portion of the StaiJe. Her jobbing trade now reaches- out.

along the lines of the two roads which form a junction here to a very considerable distance, besides a great portion of country lying remote from. the roads. As far out as her trade extends, that far at least do we realize from the products of this portion of the State. Already we see Emporia markets quoted by papers in adjoining counties, thus virtually directing their readers to this city as a market for their grain and stock. Our railroad facilities are good, with promises of improvement in this regard.

This is a shipping point among the first in the State. Another great help to Emporia, and one that is seldom thought of and one that will assist her very much, is that she is regarded east as one of the best, and in many particulars the best city in Kansas. When you hear Emporia spoken of east of the Missouri river by peeple who are acquainted with Kansas geography, you hear good, cheering words for her. We have received calls from many gentlemen, since our location here, who have traveled all over the State and visited every town and city in the State, who unhesitatingly say that Emporia and the surrounding country pleased much better than anything they had seen in Kansas. The feeling finds its way back east to people who think of locating in Kansas, and makes its impression on their minds, and the result will be that Emporia and this vast section of surrounding country will be greatly benefitted- Business men and professional men will Select this as a desirable business location and the agriculturist will seek a home in the adjoining districts.

Suppose for an instant that Lyon county was well settled, what would be the effect on Emporia? In less than five years she would have a population of at least ten thousand. This is a modest estimate, for, from present appearances, she wiH almost reach that number as it is. There is undoubtedly an inexhaustible supply of coal underneath the city and surrounding country which only needs development, to add its influences to build up the town On the south flows the Cottonwood, and on the north the Neosho, the former already turning the burs of one of the best flouring mills in the State, and the lathes of one of the most complete furniture factories west of Kansas city, and yet its strength is unexhausted. The Neosho also runs two flouring mills in the county, aiid is nobly lending her aid to build up the city. The natural advantages, as we before stated, are complete! The soil is the most fertile in the State.

Corn, ye, oats, barley, potatoes, and fruits of all kinds, grow well. Water-power is convenient and sufficient for all practical Now, what of the people? Our short acquaintance has impressed our minds with the pleasing fact that Emporia has the most enterprising, liberal, open-hearted people we have ever met. While every business man is working for himself in particular, he is working for the city in general. While the business men are divided into firms for the transaction of some particular branch, of business, they all compose one firm when it comes to transacting business in the interest of the city. They all work for the interest of Emporia.

Let the good work go on, and the child is not only born, but a full-grown man, who will see Emporia the metropolis of western Kansas. Taking; up The annual ceremony of taking up and whipping and putting down carpets is upon us. It is one of the evils which flesh is heir to, and cannot be avoided. You go home some pleasant spring day, at peace with the world, and find the baby with a clean face, and get your favorite pudding for Then your wife tells you how much younger you are looking, and says she really hopes she can turn that walking dress she wore last fall and save the expense of a new suit, and then she asks you if you can't just help her about taking up the carpet. Then she gets a saucer lor the tacks and stands and holds it, and you get the claw and go down on your knees and begin to help her.

You feel quite economical about the first three tacks, and take them out carefully and put them in the saucer. Your wife is good about holding the saucer, and beguiles you with an interesting story about how your neighbor's little boy is not expected to live till morning. Then yon come to the tack with a crooked head, and you get the claw under, and the head comes off, and the leather comes off, and the carpet comes off, and as it won't do to leave the tack in the" floor, because it will tear, the carpet when it is put down, you go to work and skin your knuckle, and get a sliver under the thumb nail, and tell your wife to'shut up about that everlasting boy, and make up your mind that it does not make any diff erance about that tack and so you begin on the corenr where the carpet is doubled two or three times and has been nailed down with a shingle nail. You don't care a continent al about saving the nail, because you find that it is not a good time for the practice of economy; but you do feel a little hurt when both claws break off from the claw, and the nail does not budge a peg. Then your manhood asserts itself, and you arise in your might and throw the carpet claw at the dog, and get hold of the carpet with both hands, and the air is full of dust and flying tacks, and there is a fringe of carpet yarn all along by the mop board, and the baby cries, and the cat goes anywhere anywhere out of the world, and your wife says you ought to be ashamed of yourself to talk so, but that carpet comes up.

Then you lift one side-of the stove, and your wife tries to get the carpet from under it, but can't because you are standing on it. So you try a iiew hold and just after your WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1878. NKW Fj. P. Bancroft Real Estate, 2 -rV J.
