Get a Home and Keep It.

A leading object with every young man
should be to secure himself a permanent
home. And for its greater stability, it
should consist partly in land, and up to a
certain limit, the more of it the better, If
paid for. The house should be as Comfor-
table and attractive as one has the means
of making it, 1t should be one that the
heart can grow to, and will cling around
more and more firmly with every passing
year. Its owner should desire and pur-
pose to keep possession of it as long as be
lives, and his children should grow up,
feeling that there is one place fixed and
stable for them through all changes.
Americans are altogether too rowing in
their habits. We build houses cheaply,
and pull them down without regret. Or
we sell out and move away half a dozen
times in lifetime, in the vain hope of
bettering our condition. How much bet
ter to choose homestead early in life, and
then lay plans with reference to abiding
there. Even though our gains be less
than are promised elsewhere, certainty
should seldom be given up for an unCer-
tainty. "a bird iu the hand is worth TWO
in the bush"
Only those who have experienced it,
know how family become attached to
their lOngloved homestead. No children
love home as wellas those who havek known
but one. As the young become Of mar
riageable age, they should go out, one by
one, from the old homestead, feeling it to
be established, aud knowing that this will
remain unchanged as long as their parents
live, place to which they can return, and
be ever welcome. A pleasing writer con-
firms our doctrine thus: "There is great
gain in being settled. 1t is two fold
Each year accumUlates about the former
material by which labor is lessensd.
"The rough channels of labor become
worn and smooth. A change involves a
great loss, and rarely is there a cores
ponding gain.-Time is lost labor is ex-
pended; money paid; the wear aud tear
of removal is no small item; and above
all, the breaking up Of old associations is
often disastrous in the extreme. Parents
and children become unsettled in their
morals.
''Let the man who has a homestead
keep it; let him that has none get one,
and labor to render it treasured remem-
brance to the absent, and a constant joy to
those who abide in it." To all of which
every intelligent, thoughtful person must
give hearty approval.

Sweeping a City.

Very few of our country readers have 4
clear conception of the labor and expense
involved in keeping the streets aud walks
of city in a condition of tolerable decen-
ey.-SOme idea may be gathered from the
following facts relative to the extent Of
the labor aud the cost of sweeping the
streets Of New York. The New York
Herald says there are two hundred and
sixty-eight miles of paved streets in that
city, averaging thirty-three feet in width.
This gives an area of one thousand one
hundred and thirty-nine acres to be
cleaned. The city Inspector has the whole
area swept once every fortnight, about
oBe-half is swept twice every fortnight ;
about quarter is swept three times;
three hundred and forty FIVE acres, are
cleaned six times, and seventy-f acres
twelve times, in the same space of time.
This is equivalent to cleaning three thou
sand and FIVE hundred and fifty three
acres once in two weeks. In addition 20
this work the ash carts traverse every
mile of the streets, on each side every
day, Sunday excepted. This is equiva-
lent to traversing five hundred and thirty
six miles day, and conveys some idea Of
the extent of this magnificent metropolis
The expense for street cleaning last year
was 1896, ,223.

like Goals, aud it keeps one warm too,
after a fashion. I'm not used to talking
SO much, but 1 am reused now and must
speak. You know that if gold aud prices
do 90 up fixed income is not elastic,
nor are wages very much more so but
Wall Street piles up its riches, aud luxu-
~ and waste riot over the land, and salt
won't save the country if this thing gOes
on. Let the young folks frolic, as
taught them to long ago, and enjoy It,
old and young together; but for Christ's
sake don make me drive to your chin

And the jolly Saint, now thoroughly In
earnest, drew his capote over his head,
bounded into the ashy CRATE, rumbled bis
way up to the top of the chimney, and

Myndert turned to his wife.
'Lena,' be at length Gt was Laney'
years agO, but now things had changed,
there's a good deal of truth in what that
queer old follow said just now
Lena came to her husband and put her
soft milk-white hand on his shoulder 1t |
looked like white butterfly resting on
the crimson dressing gown.
I'm afraid it's all true, and we forgot |
that we are only Gods stewards. 1 never
thought of all this before I thought |
that we had much money, such a great
plenty, that it was right to spend a great
deal on ourselves and the children. see
now that we should not forget all of those
who are not SO blessed. It is true about
Nellie PettibOne, I did forget about her.
1 thought it was no concern of mine
but I'll remember her, 1 won't wait till
Christmas eve. God forgive me that
forgot so much and so long
Aud poor little Lena's blue eyes filed
aud ran over, and Myndert had nothing to
do but draw her down on the arm of his
chair and comfort her. Myndert was not
really bad, only thoughtless, like SO
many.
I've been an awfully careless follow,
too, said he, but shall not take Van
Dams horses now. III do better
And SO he did-for on Christmos-day
there was both fire and feast in Widow
Pittibone's two rooms, and for all the
rest of the winter days that came after;
aud Nellie did not die, and lie cold and
pale in the light of Christmas morning, as
her mother had feared; and many other
poor hungry pantries grew savory with
Christmas cheer; and pale faces bright
ened, and gaunt faces rounded, and Santa
Claus grew redder and jollier than ever,
that he did not have to pass by those poor
little empty stocking toward which his big
honest heart SO indlyyearned.

The Local News of jamestown.


Now that Christmas times are again upon
US, as usual in jamestown everybody seems
to join in the festivities of the season.
The Young Folks have their social parties

The merchants and mechanics are reaping
where they have sown in the past year,
and all branches of business seems to BE- l.
a hOurishing condition. If it was not for
that draft that seems to haunt the minds
Of our patriotic home>guards so much of
late, We do think that jamestown and VIZ
oiuity would compare favOrably with other
contented neighborhOods in the county.
Some of our citizens, we understand, are
trading gte6nbaoks for representatives al
ready. A good move in them, no doubt.
DEsERTER ARRESTED.
B. F. Shickley, Esq, Provost Marshall
in Silyercreek township, arrested Christ
Cline, a deserter from the 74th Reg't.
He has been in the county for three or
four months and has managed to escape
that vigiIant officer until a few evenings
since. He was arrested in a barn few
miles north of town. He was promptly
handed over to the authorities, at COlum-
bus.
Our citizens will have rich treat this
week. j. Insco Williams Panorama of
the Bible will be exhibited in the NJ. E

WAR IN AFRICA, THE PARTIES PROMPTLY
ARRESTED, AND TRIAL IN CIVIL COURT.
About three miles east of town on the
D. K. &. B. R. R., there is quite a colo
ny of cOlOred Brethren" The peace of
the colony was disturbed by Davy, Dolly
and Allin. Allin receiving the blackest
eye, had Davy and Dolly arrested, and
brought before his Bon. Squire Shickley,
on charge of assault and battery. Allin,
having the most pointed witnesses, and
about ten in number, induced the squire
to fine Davy and Dolley, which, with the
cost, amounted to s3I. A good day for
the State and the witnesses. We have not
heard that the rail road was torn up in the
fracas or that any Of the bridges were
burned.
