however, does not make government stamps,

General Pope has at length issued an order
commanding the return Of all absentees within
a fixed period; after which, if they do not return
to their duties in the field, they will be court

other commanders. This is not time for off,
GERS or men to be absent from their posts. The

A bright-eyed little neice Of ours. who
hears the sweet name Of Adele, and who has
never yet seen but three rosy summers,
sometimes has her young heart shaded"
by sorrow, and then il is her custom TO re.
tire from society, and indulge in the mani.
festatioDs Of grief unmolested
AT one time, while staying with her grand
mother, something occurred that sadly griev.
ed little Adele, and as usual, she sought
solitude in an adjoining apartment. She
was absent but a short time, however, be-
fore she was heard saying, There, that's a
laJy!" as soon as she presented herself,
looking as smiling as the sun after an April
shower. She had conquered! Encouraging
herself with the idea Of being a little laby
las she had probably often been encouraged
by her mother she had wiped the tears
from her rosy checks. thrown grief to the
winds, and joined the company with the de.
termination to forget the past aud be happy.
What an example is here, even for those
who oare older and more experienced. Wheth-
er our Affections are great or small, there il
danger Of adding to them hy suffering our
minds to dwell on them continually, as BY 80
doing, we gradually acquire gloomy dis
positions, that render us unable Of enjoying
the sweets still afforded US.
Let US be assured, that whatever may be
the cause ofour sorrow, it is always best to look
at the bright side and the sooner we can.
like Adele, wipe our eyes, and deter
mine to be rational ladies or gentlemen, and
after using the means of relief in our power
occupy our minds, as far as possible in the
performance OF the present duties, the better
it will be for ourselves and the dear friend.

We have before US a copy of Taylor Falls

in this State, but from its advertising col
umns are enable to gather the least idea Of
the size OF the. place or amount Of business

dry. good store limekln; matchmaker
cabinet shop; tin shop; milliner store and
one or two lawyers cards. From the home

tants People have mistaken idea of local
newspapers. When the business men of
place realize as they should, that the local
paper benefits u place according to its circu
lation out Of it, they will have learned val
liable lesson. The village paper should be
the mirror of the place, should give those
abroad an idea of what is done and who is
doing it in the town where published. If
paper could show hundred men of firms
engaged in business, people would at once
say that village was prosperous one. lion
the contrary it be compelled to fill up with

pectuses of the New York papers, the read
er at distance naturally thinks the town

lators. i busines, men in village would take
OF each issue Of their weekly paper, dozen
copies and send them to different friends in
the east the investment would pay, if the
paper had a live business look to it. IF not,
the fewer sent the better for all concerned.
We love to see paper filed with live ad-
vertsements and local news. There are a
few such papers in Wisconsin, and no mat

politics, the items of local intelligence are al.
