made 10 fasten the boat 70 the shore; for
time that was impossible, by reason OF
the strong current which drifted us away
In short time we were again thrown
agsinrt the shore, when we succeeded in
getting out lines enough TO secure the
boat to the shore. We found ourselves
near the little rebel town of Guiandotte.
Va, where we remained forty six hours
for the storm to abate and the boat to be
repaired. Most of US would rather have
been landed in"Richmond on the Jeems"
rather than to hsve risked our chances
on the boat in such storm. The wealth
er became suddenly extremely cold; (; the
thermometer went down on the morning
Of the % juss fourteen degrees below Ee
TO. The question then was, who could
get nearest the ire. We reached thi.
city on the evening of the Sd, after pass
ing through the severest storm. as was
informed by the Captain of the boat, that
had occurred on the Ohio river for five
years.
The Great Western Sanitary Fair is the
all absorbing topic in this city. Various
estimates have been made of the net
profits of the enterprise The total re-
on the shore, which afterwards learned
was the event most dreaded by the pilot
ceipts for New Years day were Sl0,537 II.
The Calico Ball is expected to be grand
affair. The hotels are crowded to oyer
flowing with visitors to the city.
1t has been showing since yesterday.
and everybody seems to be enjoying the
first class sleighing which has recently
made its advent in this city.

About Beginnings.

Did you ever see an engine Try 10 stari
q train of carsl How it pulled and groan'
sd and wheezed, just as if the iron horse
had hardly strength enough TO move such
a ponderous load! But when he gets fair
ly under way he goes on merrily for miles
and miles as if he loved to do it, giving
now and then a defiant snort, as Huch as
to say-"Who says / can't draw a heavy
loadP'-But if he once fairly stops, then
there is all the old trouble over again.
Did you ever take a bath. in a cold
morning? The water looks SO clear and
chilly that you have good mind to let it
alone Just this once, and wash when the
weather is milder. The first touch stings
like ice; you shudder and star: back as il
you were freezing. Bat you don't freeze,
and as soon as you begin to rub yourself
with course towel you are all aglow.-
Your cheeks are red and your eyes are
bright, and you are much warmer than
when you stood shiverins, thinking, u
can't do it."
Does it seem very early sometimes when
the breakfast bell rings in the morning?
You like breakfast, every one of you, but
you don't always like it az the right time
You are very warm and very sleepy, and
the bed seems much more desirable place
than it did last night when you were so
unwilling to go to it. Just now you ara
on the most intimate terms with blank
cts, aud you CAM bear the idea of part
ing.
You cannot see TO dress for your eyes
are closed and 1t seems very hard 10 keep
them open. But in few minutes they
are wide open and shining, a new winter
Suits bustoned, thetanglsd hair Is smooth
and the second bell sounds like the voice
of a playmate, Come on, boys. we ara
waiting." The bed does not look SO tempt
ing now, you go By it without glance.
and have no desire to creep back among
its pillows. Sleep il over and stirring life
has begun.
You see from these facts that beginnings
are often hard. The French say, 1T Is
the first step that costs" They mean that
it is much harder to begin than 10 keep
on, harder to do thing the frat time
than the second or third. But no good job
was ever done without beginning. Every
happy day begins getting up, every clean
boy has a bath, every excursion train starts
with strain and puff. Every hive of hon
ey had first bee who gave half her break
fast in 8 lucious drop; every great fortune
began by saving first dollar that some
body would have been glad TO spend; ev-
cry noble man was once a brave boy, who
began to do right when it would have been
easier and pleasanter to do wrong. Per
seyerence is very fine thing but how can
we perseyere in any good course till We
begin it. Let us begin to-day.

WE HAD NOT THOUGHT
By LIssIE g. XoReAS.

We had not thought how full Of woe
The world was all the while;
We came with heart and footstep lizhi
Through youth: enchanted ais,e=
We could not krow-within those waIls.
The sacred pale Of home,
Where dreams Of beauty, hope snl love,
Their sweetest charms had throw1-
How many Lives with sorrow crowned
Were passing by our side,
Whose pathways seemed to blend with our,
While they diversed so wide;
When. Oh! could ws have seen the theEns
Their weary feet Oft pressed.
Have looked into the aching lssTts
Which sought but found not rest
Have known oue-throb Of all the woe,
To which their hves we're chained.
How We had bowed before that sFisz.
And pitied where we blamed.
But, ah! we see not in those years.
As those who've passed beyond
The msssiyes gates Of early hopes.
Unto hfs's steruer ground.
For e1er BY angel hands upheld.
Before youths wistfGl eyes,
A mystic veil is lowered down
From ont the plying skies
Lest We. to whOH-sIi things are new.
Should sec too far too soon.
And gath ring in more grief than joy,
Fslter before life's nooo.

the singular superiority in point Of taste

An Honest MERCHANT.

a case canle to our notice to-day which
forms an exception to a bad practice In
mercantile life. There is moral obhga-
ton resting upon every man 10 pay his
honest debts If he is able 10 do so. He
may fail in business, compromise with his
creditors, and obtain release, but this
cannot relieve him from the moral obli-
CATION TO pay the last dollar of the whole
debt, whenever able 10 do So Unfortu-
nately, few men perceive the necessity of
doing anything more in this regard than
is required by law, and hence there is in
every business community a numerous
class who iail in business, compromise,
resume, succeed and roll in wealth, while
their creditors, who kindly released them
in order that they might have an oppor
tunity 10 recover, are not recognized az
having any claim whatever. We have
known Of cases where IN the ups and
downs of life, the creditor was reduced
to poverty, and the released debtor be-
came wealthy, and yet the latter would
not see that the former had the least
claim upon him. But We need not en-
large. The case to which We desire 20
call attention IS this: IL 1850 the house
of which Louis Silk was amenber, failed
The firm compromised with their credi-
tors, and dissolved partnership. Mr. Stix
resumed business under the style of Louis
Stix & Co, and this house has prospered.
Messrs. Heidelback, Seasongood / CO.,
were creditors Of the old firm, and of
their claim against it they entered up to
profit and loss, in 1850, 1856 96. To-day
they received check from Mr. Silk for
81 075 Is, being for amount of old hal
ance and interest on the same. Other
creditors were similarly treated and
thus the single parner has paid in fell
the debts Of the old firm, from which
both himself and partner had been re-
leased nearly fourteen years ago.-C,-e;r

A SONG FOR THE OLD YEAR.

An yes, the Old Years dying.
And his breath is icy cold;
His notes are low and siEhing-
His hours will sOon be told.
Mother Earth prepares white shroud.
Wraps it round the dying year;
Hangs above the mourning, dark cloud,
Brings faded. lesfy bier.
Going. Is the Old Year, Eoingi
As the still, feet moments fly
List hear the swift waves flowing.
As the Yesr prepares to die.
Youths in gayety are dancing,
Dancing to the music's chime,
And their laughing eyes are gianeing.
Glsncing down the stream Of time.
Aged pilgrims muse in sadness,
At the Old Years parting knell;
But they smile, e. chimes of gladness
Wake from memory's honey cells.
Soldiers noble hearts are beating
As they Sigh for love and home,
Hours move slow that once we're feeting.
All! their hearts are sad ndIone.
Farewell Old Year, ere you pass away
Farewell. with thy joys and care;
For soon viii the waves OF the New Year sisy,
While our hearts breathe New Years pray q,

We might continue the parallels; but
It: would be = repetition of the same
thing. One set of men are able. .superi.
or. the other set are unfit for the posi-
tons TO which they aspire. and are in
ferior to dozens of other men who
could have been nominated by the 9th
convention, generally speaking.
Under these circumstances, who can
doubt. the result ? Does any one be-
lieve that the people of Kansas are SC
ignorant and imbecile as to reject the
good and choose the evil :? Will they
take men of whom they know nothing.
or know to be next to imbeciles, in
preference 10 men who will honor the
State and confer dignity upon its ad-
ministra:ion of affairs We do not
believe they will.
