Correspondence OF the Advertiser.
QUINcY, April %, 1868.
EDITOR ADvERTIsER-Sir l hasten
to send you a short article for the i'd
Uertiser by this mornings mail, hoping
it may reach you in time for this weeks
issue. A short visit to Quincy is suf-
fcient to give an idea of the life and
business of a prosperous and thriving
Western City. Prosperity seems to
characterize every department. of enter
prise.
The city election took place yesterday,
the full corps of city officers were elee-
ted. Quincy has been strongly demo
cratic, 50 also has Adams County. The
Democrats, therefore, had no fears of
the result of the election, until a new
Oppositin was brought out, styled "The
Working Mems ticket" was mainly Re-
publican, but made a favorable impress.
sion.
On the appearance of this ticket, the
Democrats, fearing that their majorilies
might be in the wrong direction, rallied
their forces from every quarter, and the
largest vote ever pOlIed in this city, and
the result was the election of three Al
dermen of the Workingmen's Ticket, and
a closely contested vote for marshal.
Bands of music were riding through
the city during the day, and full regi-
mentso of electioneerers in every ward and
on every corner, and, added to the ne
cessary stimulanrs Of election day, made
Quincy animated, indeed, j. T. P.

It was determined. a short time since,
by the Good Templers of BrOwnville, to
appoint a committee of three ladies to
circulate a petition for the signatures Of
the legal voters in the city, requesting
that no more license be granted for the
sale of malt, spiriiuous and yinous liquors
within the. corporate limits of the city.
Mrs. Church, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Dor
sey were appointed said. committee, and
very faithfully circulated the petition,
many signing and many refusing to do
so whereupon Wendell Grant, one of
the merchants of Brownville, feeling
agrieVed in the premises, had the moral
courage to come up TO The .Advertiser
Office and withdraw bis advertising. Soon
after up comes the runner from the
saloon of w. H. Valleau s. Co., and pre-.
sents Us with the following letter:
'MEssRs. CHURcH, CoLHAPP d Co.-Pfeass make
cut our bill for the paper, and the boy viii pay
you. W. h. YALLEKU & Co."

respect for the Journal, published a local

forming the public of what superior

What further may come we know not.

In soliciting subscriptions for the I'D.
U~srtiser we are often sold-'I like your
paper )" 81 have no objection to your
paper !" 81 would like to take your
paper, but am SO poor / can't afford it,"
Now, these same men do afford to chew
up and spit out that noxiOus weed called
tobacco, and so perhaps do n or more
of their half grown boys and too many
of them consume large quantities of tea,
coffee, and bad whisky, all of which are
not only useless but injurious TO the sys-
ten. No wonder then that they are too
poor to take a newspaper and if they
did, perhaps, would not have sufficient
energy to read it unless stimulated with
moderate quantities Of one or all the
above enumerated articles of cOnsump-
ton. In contemplating this matter we
are led to the qusstion-eGn a man afford
to pamper his body and starUe has mind Z
In answering this question Henry Ward
Beecher says:
"Every man has four children in every child-a
physical child, a social child, an intellectual child, and
a moral child. These four natures unite in forming
each individual
TIE education OF a child is TO be carried up in four
lines Now, no man can afford TO starve three parts OF
his child, for the sake Of OverfeediDg one part.
Here is the common mistake. Parents do we'll by
their c~hi!dren's bodies. but their intellectual, social, and
moral natures are subject to rigid economy. Is it not
SOP let the f2ctsb looked at.
When men begin to prosper, do they spend in proportion
half as much for the inward manhood OF their families
as for the outward ? Do they. not pay lavishly for 8
better house, better Furnishings, better food and clothes,
but stingily for books, schools, newspapers, church
PRIVILEGES, and for refining and humonlzing amuse-
ments?
The other facts: When times are hard and men are
embarrassed, aud begin to curtail expenses, where does
the knife fall first? Children are withdrawn from school
The newspapers are given upI No new books this
year
But, appearances must De kept up, and so a new
coat Of paint on the house, good clothes, hats, bonnets
and boots, proclaim that the physical must be cared for
whatever becomes of the moral and the intellectual ele-
ments Of manhood.
or course every man must determine for himself the
manner and relative distribution Of his income. But a
few things may be set down fJr young men to 20 nder.
There are a great many things that a young man can
not afford.
he cannot afford to be a good animal and a poor man
to have strong bones and a weak conscience; 70 feed his
children's mouths and starve their souls to grumble at
school bills while settling large grog bills TO chew to-
bacco, but refuse a good newspaper to put a fine hat on a
foolish head TO hoard money but lay up no ideas; to
own a horse that knows more than its rider.
No man living can afford to be d~issipated, or self-indul-
gent or ignorant. Nobody can afford to be a fool. 1t Will
not pay.

with N. K. Griggs as Secretary.
Mr.. s. B. Harrington stated the OBJ
iect of the meeting, by briefly stating,
that Gage county was greatly in need of
a railroad and that Brownville was both
able and willing to build one running
through TeCumseh, Beatrice and Big
Sandy, and from thence West to Intersecl
the u. P. r. R., at Fl. Kearney, or at
the most practicable point. if the coun-
ties west of Brownville would subscribe a
sufficient amount of money to pay for the
survey through their respective counties.
After which the chair was called upon
by the convention to appoint a committee
of three to draft resolutions, expressive
of the feeling of the citizens Of Gage
county, toward the above mentioned
road.
The chair appointed Messrs. A. l..
Tinkham, H. A. Laselle and A. j. Peth.
oud as said committee, who submitted

people of Southern Nebraska demand a
railroad running from BrownvIlle west

at or near FIT. Kearney.
Cd. ReSoLUed, That we will use every
means in our power, and believe all the

Sd. ReSoIved, That we are in favor
of giving material aid for The, construct
ION of the road, and cordially invite the
cooperation and assistance of all the
citizens living along this route, and all
persons interested, believing it to be to
the best interests of the whole country.
4lh. ResolUed, That we respectfully
ask our Senators and Representatives IN
Congress to use their utmost endeavors
in favor of a land grant to- aid the said
construction of a railroad upon this route.
A. l.. TINKHAM,
H. A. LAsELLE, Committee.
A. j. PETHoUD
After the acceptance of the above

crown the undertaking.
