~ If we had time we would like to
speak somewhat at length Of the Young
Peoples Association, of Madison; litera
ry society that is, in every way, model.
It's meetings are held in the Congregation
al church, (Which is sure to be crowded, }
and are opened with prayer, singing, &c.
Lawyers, doctors, preachers, students, pol.
iticians, and merchants are among its
members, and promptly perform any part
assigned them. The ladies, young and
old, also take an active part. The conse-
quence is that the meetings are highly in
teresting and instructive, and must result
in the moral and mental improvement OF
all concerned. The people Of Dodgeville
should profit by such an example, and help
to make the Literary Society Of this place
what it might and ought to be. None Of
our citizens are too good, nor too wise, nor
too digni6ed to take a part. Besides il
they know all they wish to themselves. it
is Christian duty to impart knowledge
to others. We are glad to hear that the
ladies are taking an interest in the Socie-
ty, ard giving it the encouragement Of
their presence at its meetings.
The last debate was very yell attended
and passed off pleasantly. Mrs. Joseph
Bennett, Miss Anna Higgins, and Miss
Nellie Sincox, were the committee, and
decided that nature was ahead. The next
| question is
Resolred, That married life produces more happi
ness than single life.
Affirmative-W. J. Wrigglesworth.
Negative-G w. Lewis
Essay-N. Whitman.

Mr.. EDITOR The weather continues
delightful and the sleighing is very good
A great many farmers are bringing in
wheat and having it stored in the ware
houses here in anticipation of rise in
price by spring.
1t may interest great many of our
county readers to learn that Matthias Ash
more has lately opened dry goods store
in this village Mat. is an ole resident, and
a gentleman of large acquaintance. Like
all western men, he is always ready for a
trade. 1t is reported that at one time he
owned land in this section as far as the
eye could reach, and that at the present
time he has more mortgages in his pos
session than any other man in the state.
He is a man OF some political influence,
weighs not quite three hundred, and can
talk Norwegian and Injun.
There has lately been started here an
organization called the Sons of Temper
ance; they meet at the Good Templar's
hall on Friday evenings. No person can
become member that is under twenty-one
years Of age.
The cord wood for the railroad company
is being hauled into town at rapid rate,
some teams coming from over the river,
the ice being very solid in some parts.
Speaking about ice, some of'our citizens
are getting their ice houses filed. The
terrible hot weather last summer has
caused many to get in a good supply, and
during the hot months next summer, we
expect to have quite supply of the lux
ury. Yours truly,

GIVE .
BY DUFF PORTER

Give as gives the happy river,
Where its singing ripples glide
By the trees and flowers and grasses,
Leaning DER its peaceful side.
Give as dews give benediction
To the lilies shining bells,
Standing by the sleeping water
In the hush of starlit dells.
Give to souls that, faint and 1amlshed,
Fall upon the desert sand,
Though hut few small loaves and fishes
God hath given to thy hand.
And as His good angels standing
By the sad hearts hungry door,
He will rive thee richest blessing
From the fullness of His store.

vain.

amount Of sweating and putting, ac-
complished his task, and just when
they were not needed, of course, "the
boys" made their appearance.
W here have you been and what
have you been about, I'd like to know,

you, and what were you settin?' in

CORY of answers. "Come, let's hear?''
