Alma Matters dear old groves. Again

life dawns upon us, tinged with "a
roseatc hue and the blue-arched sky
bends above as smilirgly and hopeful
ly as the golden days of yore. The
song has died away, but the memory
clings to us, and lovingly we place it
among the hearts precious treasures.
How it thrilled us In that brief
space of time we clasped hands with
those who long since passed up.to the
heavenly mansions and though, when
the bright visions has flown, earth
seemed more desolate than, ever, yet
who shall say these spirit communings,
these echoes of far-of music floating to
us over the graves of years, are not
sent by the Father to unite our hearts
more closely to that sweet home,
through whose pearly gates we shall
pass out no more forever ~
We hear it mid the rustic of falling
leaves, when autumn has flung out red
banners OH every hillside. 1t was
just such q beautiful autumn, when a
darling sisters life faded out with the
dying leaves. Oh, mcmories.of that
loved one haunt us now. We hear
the music of her voice again as in old
en- time. Precious sister Autumn's
forest harp has been tuned anew a
score of,times since thou vert here {;
and the leaves have fallen score of
times aboycthy grave.
We have stood in the purple shad-
ows, and watched nature at she knelt
upon the western hills to breathe her
evening prayer, and memory has come
to us of another eventide, when sitting
on the low doorstep of our childhoods
home we watched the stars glimmer in
the far-otf blue and again we hear
the sweet, low murmur of voice, dear

infant-lips to say "Our Father" All,

the music Of mothers voice. Oh, if
we could pillow our heads again on
that sheltering breast, could feel the
sweep of her soft hair on the tear

beaming with love and tenderness,
glance into our own, then all these long
weary years would seem but mo-

mothers love! Earth's sweetest mu-

long years have passed away, and the
dear tones are hushed, then in the
still night-watches her pure spirit shall
come to us in dreams our childish
prattle will again be hushed by that
low cradle hymn. Angel mother, we

it in the glorious anthem which will

quality was remarkably even and good
The Illinois cattle averaged about 700 lbs

A fine rain fell yesterday. The market
opened brisk at 1c higher prices, without
much decline in the afternoon, and was
strong at the close, with nearly all sold.-
Very few Of the Cattle are on commission.
The Jews owned about one-fourth Of all
the cattle offered. The supply of the week,
as far as ascertained, is about 5000 head
nearly all good. No more expected tomor-

Mr.. EDITOR Every man, of the least
enterprise, takes some pleasure in the ap-
pearance of his own farm, stock, etc., as
well as in the general surroundings of his
home and in the appearance of his own
town.
Upper Sandusky, laid out as it is, and
in natural advantages for ornamentation,
is not and can not be surpassed by any in
land town in Northern Ohio. This being
the fact. the balance then depends upon its
people and corporate authorities.
But what is the condition of our streets.
alleys, etc? A single walk over part or
all our village will show you streets and
alleys dotted over with wood piles, loose
sticks, brush manure piles, bones, bricks,
wagons. bob-sleds, ETC., all of which make
our otherwise pleasant town look mean and
ragged. The taste of our citizens we know
to be such as to desire that this were other
wise than it is, but for one or two to at
tempt to correct this unpleasant appear
ance of our town is useless. The remedy
lies with those having charge of the COM
mon interests of our village; or, in other
words. with the Town Council. No one
will blame them for compelling all to be
neat and cleanly, so far as the streets and
alleys are concerned. Health, pleasure
and a good name for our town all demand
this.
Let our CITY fathers then, in their
wisdom and for the improvement of our
town, as well as its appearance, at once
pass an ordinance compelling every lot
owner to remove all rubbish, wood, ETC.,
from the streets and alleys adjoining their
respective lot or lots, and to the centre of
said street or alley so adjoining said lots,
and keep the same at all times, free from
such abominable nuisances, under such
penalty as may be easily enforced,and then
aoe can feel proud of Upper Sandusky, and
strangers will not look upon us as class
of people but little more than half civilized.
This is not only the wish Of the writer,
but of many with whom he has conversed
ON this subject. CITIZEN.

that the summer before the war at the

and was about to venture forth on morn

''YOu cannot pass, sir; too early"
''Too early! Why, my dear Colonel, what
says DIR. Franklin ?''
''Early to bed and early to rise will
make man healthy, wealthy and wise"
every fine, sir; but all fallacy. Early
rising and the inhalation, upon an empty
stomach, of the morning malaria of this
country, North and South, have been the
death Of thousands-the death of thous-
ands, sir, from the time of Capt. John
Smith to this day. Wait till after break

hot coffee, and then, the noxious vapors of
the night being exhaled by the sun, we
will take morning ride.''

"Ah, then, sir, you may stick to DR..
Franklin. Hostetter's agentat Charleston

invention of these Scales, and the improve

adopted, are the result of many years close
observation and practical experience; and
the inventors have now brought them to
such degree Of accuracy, that they may
safely be relied upon in every transaction
by weight. Their construction is upon
the most correct mathematical principles; :;
all defects so commonly met with in COM
pound balances have been overcome by
practical skill aud faithful workmanship; !;
and hence their operation is delicate, and
in every case correct. The reputation
which these Scales have acquired has been

How to Avoid the ChOlera.-The
Saturday Press, among other suggestions
which will enable person to avoid the

to keep a clear conscience, and two or
