Perfect Security.

By disposing Of their "Lillie" to
the county (for the Auditors use)
the First National Bank now puts
its new safe in place and use. Some
time ago We gave a description Of
its peculiarities and the security it
affords, and it is not ecessary, now,
to repeat them. In brief, it is the
nearest to perfection safe-makers
have yet attained, both in character
Of locks, and the quality of the
metal employed in its construction.
The officers Ct the Bank now fcel
that they can defy burglers. To
get at the money the vault must frs:
Be broken open; and this is Of the
most substantial character. Then
his difficulties have only just begun.

dreds upon hundreds Of dollars have
been expended to reach this point

attained. they rejoice'-Decorah
Republican.
From the above it will be seen
that the 1st National Bank of De.
corah is determined TO be as safe
from burglars As it is financially. It
is one Of the best Of the banking
institutions of the State.

To Young. Men.

1t IS easier to be q good business
man than q poor one. Half the en-
ergy displayed in keeping ahead
that is requited to catch up when
behind will save credit, give more
time to business, and add to the
profit and reputation Of your word.
Honor your engagements. If you
promise to meet man, or do a cer-
tain thing at certain moment, be
ready at the appointed time. If
you have anything to do, do it At
once, cheerfully, and therefore more
speedily, and correctly. Ifyou 60
out on business, attend promptly to
the matter on hand, and then as
promptly 60 about your own busi-
ness. Do not stop to tell stories in
business hours. - ..e
If you have place Of business,
be found there whom wanted. No
man can get rich by setting round
stores and saloons. Never !" fool !"
on business matters. If you have
to labor for a living, remember that
Que hour in the morning is better
than two at night. If you employ
others. be on hand to see that they
attend to their duties, and to di-
rect with regularity, promptness,
liberality. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing Of
Never buy an article simply because
the man who sells it will take it
out in trade. Trade is money. -
Time is money. A good business
habit and reputation is ilways mon
ey. Make your place of business
attractive then stay there to wait
on customers. r
Never use quick words, or allow
yourself to make hasty or ungentle-
manly remarks, to those in your
employ; for to do so lessons their
respect for you and your influence
over them. Help yourself, and 9th
ers will help you. Be faitful over
the interests con6ded to your keep
ing, and all in good time your res
possibilities will be increased. Dc
not be in too great haste to get

tion. Do uot-as you hope to work
FOR success-spend time in idleness.
If your time is your own, business
will suffer if you do, If it is given
to another for pay, it belongs to
him, and you have no more right to
steal that than to steal money. Be
obliging. Strive to- avoid harsh

miles can be made in day by 60

The New Dispensation-The Elopsmsnt Of
Negro Waiter and White Laundress. /

From the Dayton (ohio) Ledger. April 1871 .
The habitues of the Phillips House, OF
our city, we're treated to first class sen
sation day or two since by the discov-
cry that the steward, or head waiter Of
the establishment, bad induced a white
girl employed in the laundry department
Of the hotel to. elope with him, and that
the twain had packed up their traps, to;
gether with a few things not their own,
and left the city.

Scurry, familiarly known about the hote
as Ben, Batter, Ia q "black and tan :
breyet citizen OF color, about thirty five
years Of age, and has been connected
with the Phillips House, we learn, about
three years, during which time he has
been regarded as a faithful and efficient
servant thoagh at times rather cross and
surly, with the usual domineering spirit
peculiar to many Of his race when placed
in command of others; indeed, so su-
percillious aud over-bearing that the
nnder servants had, from experience,
learned to Setest and fear him ! but, prob
ably, none had more cause therefor than
the poor, weak'minded victim OF his
leaeherous mschlnations, whom he has
been known to treat in the most insolent
and rude manner.

employed ia the laundry department for

rcogndrel. Before leayiug, ID Il said, she
took q small amount Of money from the
trunk Of another young lady who occu-

He can wear gloves or warm his hands in

RockI Fill up the gap-Arcoli, Auster-
litz, Waterloo Here, in this house, be
passed his time, playing at soldiers
with bis fellows, and mourning be-
cause he had no moustache-till, at
the age Of fifteen, he entered the
military school at Brienne. ~ia He
returned home for vacations, and mix
ing his Young ambition with the daily
round Of boyhood pleasures and walks,
he, at the same time, imbibed from the
peculiar characteristics Of the Corsioans
their feuds and feelings, which his grand,
gloomy and marvellous after-life illus
trated. Just above us--where write =
we are pointed out o grotto made by the
bowlders, and surrounded with. foliage
and musical with birds, as the favorite
studyspot Of the young Napoleon. The
spot commands q beautiful view Of the
bay and the snow clad mountains around.
From it can be seen, upon. clear day, /,
the Island of Sardinia. Gardens of
oranges, from which we are permitted to
pluck at pleasure, cover the slopes near
by. Hedges OF cactus--csctus piled on
cactus---the famous macchie, so sweetly
scented the arbutus, the myrtle, the
! olive. and every kind OF color of tree
and flower here grow in the air Of winter.
1t was within the circle Of such infu-
ences of suu, sky, land and water, that
the young Napoleon formed his plans Of
life. How many of them failed, or how
many of them were realized, we can only
guess. One thing remains to be said
that in the hurly-burley of bis active
career be never forgot Corsica. He al
ways intended to do more for her than
he did. His last thoughts were about his
native soil. E.s4t
