permit every ditch round the homestead to be
brimful of filth. In fact, you and the cattle are
made to breathe and to drink that which ought to
fertilize the fields. Enter the house itself and
almost every day of the week you will see the
eternal bucket and the mop, maid on her hands
and knees, weftering hagstones, brick floor wash
ed into holes, and the boarded floor rotted with
excessive ablution. Nevertheless, the air viii not
be either sweet or dry; but loaded, close and
damp. Ten to one, also, the rheumatism, or dys-
Pepsa or ague or jaundce, or general low spirits,
are In the house. OF course, this state of things
cannot be cured in day, for when washing once
assumes a ceremonial form it is apt to become
perpetual institution. But great deal may be
done with these agricultural Pharisees, who strain
at footmark and swallow dunghiH. They who
have any lnfuence-and, of course, the clergy
have some, and the landlords more-Tnay al least
point out better situations for cottsges and as re-
CARDS the dunghili, may recommend that It's am

doubtful but that any person of moderate intelli-
gence can make himself very useful. And who
that knows the difference between health and sick
ness, between having friends and surviving them
can hesitate to make himself useful in this way if
he possibly can? Good people are very full of
medicines and diSpensares but it is far easier nd
better to prevent than to cure or rather half cure
which is nearly all that is generally accomplished

Sunday morning in a town is described with its
Ginning bells, its train Of worshppers entering

Quaker, Methodist and Baptist. Then. when the
bells have ceased, there follow the solemn organ
and the murmur OF the responses in One place;

OFFER FOR SALE THEIR ENTIRE
STORE & BUILDING

w ISHING to give our attention to other
w business, we offer to sell our entire
stock of Goods and Store Building on
reasonable terms.
The locality for selling goods is preferable to
any in this part of the West; it being in the
Village of River Falls, about half way between
Prescott and Hudson, seven miles from Lake
st. Croix, and in the center of as rich farm
ing district as there is in the Mississippi or st.
Croix valleys
While the merchants of Prescott and Hud-
son have closed up their business campaigns
with large portions of their goods remaining
unsold upon their hands, we have invariably
been enabled at the close of each season to re-
duce our stock down very low.
Merchants wishing to go into business in the
West, cannot do better than to give us call
and examine the advantages which our locality
affords for selling goods. r,.-,*
The Store Building, with large and
commodious Barn, and two lots on which they
stand, will also be sold at bargain. The
premises arc situated on Main street, near the
center Of the village, and but few rods from
the Kinnickinnic.

When man shall live by reason,
And not alone for gold;
When man to man united.
Aud every wrong thing righted,
The world shall be truth-lighted,
As Eden was of old.

For the cause that lacks assistance,
