CALCULATION,

There are many persons who can
not, or will not, appreciate the harmo'
ny and beauty of natural laws, the
reason being, we suppose, that they
are incapable of following the calcu,
lations necessary for their elucidation,
and thus, by avoiding all the trouble,
the result brings no pleasure to them.
Where can anything more beautiful
be found, and in what fact can you
find greater demonstration of the
harmony of tho universe, than that
the same law which governs the mo-
ton of the plauets, also controls fal-
ling stone! The same force which
binds the rocks together, also keeps
in contact the particles of skin on our
hands. The universe and all things
in it obey q system or code of laws
which cannot be broken. 1t may ap-
pear extraordinary when we state
that nothing is violent or irregular in
nature The upheaved rocks of for
mcr ages have all been upheaved
gradually, and in obedience to con-
trolling power even apparently ca
PRECIOUS earthquakes always move
and ever will progress i'll . definite
and given path around the globe and
the eruption Of o volcano can be cal
culated to nicely. Storms can be
prognosticated, hurricanes predicted,
and comets appearance predicted !;

KINDNESS.

BE kind to all. In these few words
how much meaning there may be-
meaning of vital Importance to the
person concerned. By being kind
nothing can be lost, much may be
gained, even if nothing is gained
directly to the donor of kindness, there
is, indirectly, nevcr-failing supply Of
benefit accruing to him. By an act
Of kindness, not only the blessings of
the benefited, but of the world, and
of God, alight on the head of him who
does the act. Through all our lives
we may look in vain for any other
trait which gives greater celebrity to
its possessor than kindness. Wash.
ington was a great man, but was that
the only reason why his name is re-
vcred and blessed by thousands ? No,
1T is because he used that great
ness for the benefit of his country and
tellow-beings. Napoleon is recollected;
but is it with the same kind regard
with which we remember Washington?
Mott is with bitter feelings and a
loud lament that the name of Bona
parte is recalled. And why? Be-
cause he had no noblcness in his soul.
May each and all read and reflect upon
the lives of the departed great, Of our
own as well as other countries, judg-
ing whether they are rccollected for
kind deeds or for evil ones,-considcr
how they are regarded, whether like
Washington or Napoleon, and then
make a solemn vow--l will be kind
--rcncwing the VOW as often as the
tcmpter comes. Those who thus live,
at the coming of gray hairs, will have
little to repent of.

INTELLIGENCE AND INDUSTRY.
BY sTEPuEN u. TING, y. D.

Let a man make q tour of the single
State Of Connecticut, and he will at
once be impressed with the cxaltation
of labor as dignilicd by education.
From the heading Of q pin to the ham
mcring Of granite from the polish
ing Of the brass button to the beating
Of the brazcn kettle from the India
rubber suspender to the varicgated
and beautiful Brussels carpet; in eve
ry possible variety and shape and
beauty Of machinery upon every
flowing river, and upon every little
rocky rivulet; from the immense brick
or stone cdilicc Of many stories, to
the rude shed of pine boards in the
forest, upon the margin of the hidden
stream he will see the effects of the
American system, honoring, dignity
ING, prospcring and protecting Amer
Ican labor and American skill.
Human talent, industry, wisdom
and skill, under the favoring blessing
OF Heaven, must now go forth to SOW
and to gather III the harvest Of the
earth. We are teaching lessons of
political economy which the world
has never heard before. 1t is a noble
dlspcnsation for our country. Other
nations may see us, but not with the
vines or olives Of Italy or France nor
with the oranges and grapes of Spain
or Portugal nor even with the rich
and glowing vcrdure, and the teeming
harvests of England and lowland
Scotland. The magnficencc of their
timc-honored architecture we have
not attained.
But the Intelligence, prosperity,
dignity, independence, and self.rcs-
pcct which mark the labOring classes
Of our population. lift us far above all
envy Of the grandeur and glory of
European display. They see that we
have people, ilourishing and pros
porous beyond comparison but we
have no rabble but that which their
own degradation has thrown upon our
shores. 1t is the province of America
to build, not palaces, but men; to ex-
alt, not titled stations, but general hu-
manity to dignity, not idle repose,
but assiduous industry to elevate,
not the few, but the many and to
make herself known, not so much in
individuals, as in herself spreading
to the highest possible level (but stri
wing to keep it level still) universal
education, prosperity and honor.
The great clement of this Who'll,
plan of effort and instruction, is til,
moral, relative dignity of labor al
element which we are to eXalt in pub
lie estimation in the highest possible
degree, and transmit to our families
and to posterity, as the true greatness
of the country and the world.

ADDRESS
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF IOWA,

At meeting of large number Of
young men from many portions OF the
State, who We're at Dcs Moincs at
tending the late Republican State
Convention, preliminary steps were
taken for the formation of an organiza-
ton, having for its object more sys-
tematic and energetic mode Of pol. IT,
cal labor, than. it was believed, has
characterized the efforts especially Of
the young men of the Republican par
ty in Iowa, in previous campaigns.
At the meeting mentioned, the under.
signed were appointed to draft and
publish an address to the young men
of the State acting with the Republi.
can Party. to urge upon them more
thorough and perfect local organiza.
ton in all portions of the State. The
commltte now submit the following,
and desire to express unieigned re-
gret that they have not been able, by
reason of other pressing duties, to
perform the task assigned them less
unsatisfactorily.
1t is not to be doubted that the
campaign soon to be inaugurated will
be not only an exciting contest, but
the issues to be discussed will be
such as will enlist the hearty sympa-
thies, and should arouse the earnest
endeavors Of all who have an abiding
faith in the capacity of men for con-
stitutional sell-government, in human
dignity and in human freedom.
The history of the country for the
past eight years shows that the party
now having control Of the general
government has become politically
corrupt and dcmoralized, It has
broken the plighted faith of the nation
by repeating the Missouri Compro-
mise, thereby precipitating upon the
country an unnecessary and danger
Gus agitation Of that exciting question
which the people had had good rea-
son to believe had been buried forev-
er by the Compromise of 1850. 1t
has used the treasure and power of
the Federal Government to force an
unjust and cruel system upon an un'
willing people. Processing high re-
gard for the compromise measures
of 1885," its great agitatins measure
was directly in conflict herewith,
and the Cincinnati Platform Oh this
subject is nothing less than willlul
wicked fraud upon the public legisla-
ton of the country. SO far Us the
federal administration is concerned,
the party in power has gone over to
the slave oligarchy, which has control
Of almost all branches Of the govern
ment-disbursc its funds, controls
its public lands, superintends the
mails, commands the army, and di-

LITTLE ELLENS OBEDIENCE.
A TRUE STORY.

Little Ellen had a pretty white dog,
named Fido, that she loved very much.
She would play with him for hours,
and was very careful that nothing
should harm him. One day her moth
cr wished to visit neighbor, and
fearing that Ellen, who was a very
little girl, might go too near the stove,
or meet with some other accident, if
left alone in the house, told her to take
Fido and play in the front yard until
she returned. She had been gone but
a short time, when a large dog came
by the gate and turned into the house,
through the kitchen door, which stood
open. Fido ran in too, that he might
have frolic, but the large dog bit
him and chased him about the kitchen,
while poor Fido tried to get away,
and yclpcd to his little mistress to
come to his help.
Little Ellen looked on in great dis
trcss, wishing to save her playfcllow,
but did not venture into the house,
Soon some children going home from
school passed by and told Ellen that
if she would go with them they would
help her to get Fido away from the
great dog. But Ellen said,
No, mother told me to stay out
here, and | cannot go iu.'
The children urged, that when her
dog was in such danger, her mother
would not care if she did go in Just
for moment, and come right out
again" No Ellen stood firm:
Mother said stay here, aud | cannot
disobcy her"
While they were talking about it,
some men came hastily into the yard
and asked if they had seen a great
dog so by. Hearing that he was i'll
the house, they went in and killed him,
for the dog ,Cas mad, and had bitten
many cattle before he reached Ellen's
home, 1t was found that he had
killed poor Fido. He would have bit
ten Ellen also, if she had not obeyed
her mothers wish as we'll as her com
mand. and she would have died of a
dreadful disease soon after.
Dear children, do you always obey
your mother implicitly =?

A PERILOUS JOURNEY.
SUFFERING AND DEATH On TIE PRAIRIE.

..wncn fiction rises plea ing to the eye,
Men will believe, because they love the lie
But truth h'r'elf, if cio"d"d with frown'

On the first OF December last, l was
sent by Mcssrs. i, w. Gates " Co, OF
Chicago, to repair the boiler OF the
steamboat Arson NOrthrup, lying IS
miles west of Fort Gerry, in the Red
River of the North. When | reached
La Crosse, was detained three days
by the floating ice of the Mississippi,
which prevented my crossing, When
we reached the west side we met
man, who fell dead upon the ice from
fright, as we supposed, as the eros
sing was very dangerous. When |
reached st. Iaul, | was directed by
j. c. Burbank, one of the Proprlctors
Of the Minnesota Stage Company, and
part owner Of the steamer Anson
Northrup, to so to It. Cloud, where
man with span OF mules was wait
ing to take me to Georgetown, a new
ly established station, belonging to
the Hudson Bay Company, at the
mouth of the Buffalo river, 30S miles
northwest of st Paul On our jour
ncy thither we met man who had his
feet and hands 50 icartulIy frozen that
amputation was necessary, and his
friends were bringing him TO st. Paul
for the purpose OF having the opera
ton performed. We also met another
young man who was suffering from a
fever, and in the night while suffering
from his fever had placed his feet out
side the bed, and they had been so
badly frozen that amputation was nee
essary. Many like cases, but none
quite SO distressing as those | have
mentioned, transpired during our jour
ncy. On the 18th Of December, dur
ing a furious snow storm, and the
weather bitterly cold, we missed our
road and lost the way We finally
came to house at Graham's Point,
but found no one inhabiting it except
a large bull dog, whose manifesto
tions were of So unfriendly a charac-
ter that we deemed it expedicnt not
to undertake to enter the house, but
rcsorted to a woodshcd near at hand
and lodged in it for the night The
next morning we proceeded on our
journey, and were obliged 20 fast un-
til about ten o'clock the next day.
This fasting had never got used to
and it by no means produced a pleas
ant sensation, the inner man protest.
ing very violently against it. But
harder times than these were to come.
In ten days after leaving st. Paul
we reached Georgetown, where a par.
ty with dog teams was to be awaiting
our arrival to take us forward to Ger

The roses, red and white
The Niolets and the lilly-cups.
Those flowers made OF light
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet!

Where ! was used 10 swing:
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing:
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is 50 heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow!

Important affairs must bo attended

mess done," says the proverb, go
and do it if you don't want it done,

gentleman had a freehold estate pro-
ducing about five hundred year.
Becoming involved in debt, he sold
half Of the estate, and let the remain
der to an Industrious farmer for TWEEN
ty years. About the end of the term
the farmer called to pay his rent, and
asked the owner whether he would sell
the farm. Will you buy it asked
the owner, surprised. " Yes, if we
