btat oh tub J ak*.—The ciUea and
village# are already overcrowded, and
every kind of business languishes more
than the cultivation of the earth. In the
cities the labor market is overstocked,
and one can get any desired number of
hands for any conceivable job, Clerks
from the country have usually to serve
two or three years before they can get
living wages. The city throngs with un.
employed men and women, waiting for
something to turn up.' Those who find
employment have no security fbr per-
manence. Mechanics lose tlteir places,
and have to lie idle for weeks and months
together. All the products of skill and
labor are relatively eheaper than provis-
ions and bread stuffs.
The greater material want of the na.
tion is cheaper meats, grain and vegeta-
bles. We nave merchants, mechanics,
and noblemen enough but far too few
farmers. The best cultivated State
abounds in uncultivated lands. Even in
the vicinity of our large towns and cities,
cheap lands abound, and splendid chan-
ces for enterprising young men to win
homes and fortune. Ooce settled 011 his
own acres, the farmer has constant prof-
itable occupation before him. Nowhere
is unskilled labor so sure of sustenance,
nowhere will intelligent industry so sure-
ly win a happy home and competence,
in the country one never need to lack
labor, and labor brings the necessaries
and comforts of life.—American Agricul-
turist.
Riches got by fraud are dug out
of one's own heart, and destroy the
mind.
Riches got by deceit cheat no man
so much as the getter.

PROSPECTUS.
This will inform the public th:;t I have
commenced and shall continue the pub-
lication of a weekly journal, called the
home advocate. The first page will
be devoted to local and agricultural in-
terests and general intelligence, the
second to the instruction and enter-
tainment of youth, the third to small
children; and the fourth ( and only the
fourth,) to advertising.
Time and observation have taught
us the necessity of the publication of a
paper of this kind, and the importance
of its being introduced into and read by
every family throughout the length and
breadth of this whole country ; and as
the people, by their patronage and
ready assistance, have given me so much
enoouragemeut, while struggling to
make permanent my manufactory en-
terprise, I feel that it is but just and
right that I should direct at least a part
of the crumby ihus cast upon the waters
into a channel that will return them as
mental iood to their family circles. We
have engaged the services of Rev. F. J.
I'atillo, as editor and publisher for the
first twelve months, feeling assured that
his capacity and experience as a jour-
nalist will enable him to give general
satisfaction. While he has promised to
lose no time and spare nn labor, we
expect to employ all the means necessa-
ry to make the paper indeed an advo-
cate of every household.
The home advocate will be fur-
nished to subscribers at the low price of
one dollar and fifty cents per volume in
specie.
In closing this prospectus, we most
humbly invoke upon the enterprise the
smiles of Providence and the patronage
"* the people.
