An ILLusTnArIoS.-Thc advantage of
advertising was pertinenty illustrated in
oar Office II day Or two ago. One of our
citizens called ard inquired for Burling-
ton paper, stating that he wished to send
an order to "A certain firm at that place,
but had forgotten the name of it. We
handed him copy of the paper he desr-
ed hut after long and careful search he
was unable to find the advertisement of
the establishment. After giving up the
search he went out, remarkirg that ne
would have to send his order elsewhere.
Such instances, by the way, are of COM
mon occurrence. The firm with which
our citizen wished to deal, if advertised
at all, doubtless did it in spasmodic way.
AS an advantage of steady and liberal ad-
advertising we have only to say that

BRYANT.-One of the saddest and
most touching speeches that we ever
read is that of the venerable poet, Will
liam Cullen Bryant, at the late COM
mencement of Williams College. Be-
ing called upon to speak at the annual
dinner he said
ut has occurred to me, since I, in the
decline of life, came to visit once more
this seat Of learning, in which our youth
are trained to succeed us on the stage of
the world, that l am in the situation of
one who, standing on a spot desolate
with winter and dim of twilight, should
be permitted by sort of miracle to
look upon a neighboring region glorious
with the bloom Of spring, and bright
with the beams of morning. On the
side where l stand are herbless fields
and leafess woods, pools sheeted with
ice, frozen soil and the shadows of APP
preaching night. On the side to which
/ look are emerald medows, fields Of
springing wheat, orchards in bloom,
transparent streams, and a general sum
shine. With me, it is too late for any
further hopeful tillage, and if the plough
were put into the ground, its coulter
would-be obstructed by the ice bound
sods. On the side to which | look [
see the tokens of judicious cultivation
and careful tendance, recompenscd by a
free and promising growth. l rejoicc
at the kindly care thus bestowed, and
my hope and prayer is, that under such
auspices all the promise which meets
my eyes may be amply fulfilled, and
that from these luxuriant fields of har-
vest may be gathered richer and more
abundant than has ever yet been stored
in the granaries of our land.

Protection TO La bGr,

Protection 10 Labor.
We are earnestly in favor of protect
ION tor labor---a protective tariff which
will protect American industry And
this is the way we would have it come
Abolish the Custom-houses, which
are but political hospitals, full Of cor
rupt influences. Send sixteen thous-
and able-bodied men, who are employed
to do the work four thousand might do,
into the west OF South, where their Ia
Dor might be made benefit to the
country, and they in time become men,
instead Of hangers-on.
Then tax the United States Bonds.
Let money invested in them pay its
share OF taxation, as does the money in
vested in plows, axes. hammers, needles,
and all other implements of labor and
machinery, including lands.
Protect the farmers, farmers wives,
sons, and daughters, who are now swell
tering under the noon day sun earning
"a living, while the snobby and shoddy
bondholders cut off their gold-bearing
coupons, draw from tho bank the gold
placed there by those who hold no
bonds, and loll about the summer wat
tering-places complaining Of this horrid
hot weather.
Protect the farmer, the miners, the
mechanics, whose wealth is taxed ten
fold to enrich the ones who are not
taxed.
Protect the ones who labor, and add
to the greatness of America, rather
than the specializing, pcople-robbing,
politics-studying, lice-hunting, bond
holding ones, who invest every dollar
they obtain in United States bonds,
which bring illegal interest and which
escape taxation.
Protect the workingmen by calling
in the bonds and giving uniform style
of currency therefor that We may have
enough money to transact easily the
business of the country, and save to us
the ninety millions in gold we are each
year draining the country of for the
benefit of foreign capitalists. Take up
our bonds, give holders the money there
for, let them burn the same orsend it to
the country where it belongs, for in
yestmcnt in land, houses and other prop
erty, that rents may be cheaper.
Let us quit protecting the money
sharks Of other countries and protect
the workingmcn Of this, and if We can
not have this protection, then the Gov
crnment is but tyrant, and it is our
duty to trample it under foot, wipe it
out, repudiatc the entire national debt,
and start anew The ones who hold
these bonds and pay no taxes thereon
are Of no help to the nation. Clean
them out and protect labor.
We demand, in the name Of honest
men and women who work for living.
protection and equal taxation. We de-
mand the RIGHT for our friends on the
farms---in the forcst--the workshops

BY what right arc We who win not

FAYETrE, Iowa, GO.

FAYETTE, Iowa, 90.
DEAR TINES 1T is one Of our rainy
days. / have been building air castles,
and watching the clouds come and 60.
One cannot dip into vacancy without
drawing up thoughts like waves or foam.
The sultry fogs Of the past few days are
rapidly dissolying in sheets of rain. The
''low hang clouds promise a succession
Of showers, and we must seek amusement
indoors. Looking out see chain of
hills circling the horizon with Glands Of
varied green" and upon that dark back
ground the exquisite play of vapors, that
rise and fall, curving and winding in
capricious graccs, light as a breath, and
silvery as incense stealing upward from
some vast hidden censor. Some of the
most soothing and pleasant associations Of
life are linked with the memory of rainy
days. They are drawn as soft veil over
the binding brightness of too much sun
shine: they have a musical cadence, and
character of their own, and like twilight
which brings to close the longest sum
mer hours, they suggest the darker
shadows, and the deeper rest to come.
Already the orchard trees and grass are
looking fresher for their sudden baptism.
and below the hills, which conceal it from
view, rye Volga' dashes itfully on, and
seeks shelter beneath the bridge: then
rushing from its hiding place, daslles
away again, and is finally lost among the
hills. Again my eyes wander to the
hills, and fancy crowns them with the
spires and pinnacles Of fairy land away
in the "dim distance" what faces lean,
with smiles Of mocking sweetness. beck
oning us into the realms of air. These
hills symbolic all truth-calm and ctcr-
nal-let US float with the current whose
gracious illusion ovcrliss all mysteries !;
let US dream and dream today and to-
morrow-we shall awaken, for the mists
will vanish, and the eternal hills remain.
1t is amusing to observe the sudden
intimacies evolved by "thc social need Of
rainy day." you know Happiness is
sufficient Of ITSELF" but "misery likes
company" Dear readers, if you sigh for
rest come to the green hills, in whose
shadow Fayette lies these winds blow
toward you no discord, but the harmonies
Of heaven /; tagging energies arc here
revived, and lost faith rekindled, return.
ing to your wcrk-day world, you will
carry to its busy mart lighter heart, and
brighter smile. The dag is done; the
rain-clouds are drifting apart, and the
new moon, like forgotten atom, hangs
treR,ulously in space. Csod night.

EDS TINES The "broadside of red
hot shot," that l alluded to in my last,
from ''Gib" Douglas batteries, directed
against ''thc Clayton Co. Mutual Admira-
ton Society,"" has created considerable
commotion here,
Eibocck agreed to publish "Gibs' de-
Tense in this weeks issue Of the journal
| but, after few hours of reflection, cons
cluded that it was too damaging in its
statement Of facts. The article, though
| replete with facts, WAS couched in the
same gentlemanly language, that charac-
terized his former contribution to the
"Times." The propriety of giving "Gib"
hearing was fully discussed in the 2. o.
yesterday, and a flag of truce sept to
"Gib," begging him ''to withdraw the ar
article" "and cease hostilities," to ''say
quits" that Eiboeeck cried enough and
was willing to ''say quits "aud let him
glib alone.
Glib was immovable, but finally conscn-
ted to give them weeks probation, and
see how they behaved themselves.
OF course Eiboeck will manage to keep
it out of the "Journal;" if this is the case
"Gib' will have to appeal to the Times
We were well aware that when the
"Journal' and "Ne,cs" wadcd into the
"stroling Mendicant's" affections SO val
ianty, that they ''had walked up the
wrong sucker" Already their democrats
cation is manifest when they ask him as a
personal .faror, to ''cease firing. Glib is

takes all summer" end she be Obliged to

As matter Of interest to parties con-
ccrned, will state that prominent Alli-
sonite has been practicing with a revolver
i! here to-. day. Since his term Of service
expired in the U. S. A., he has become
sadly out of practice. As law abiding
citizen we protest against the shedding Of
blood, and hope that no tragic scene will
be enacted in our hitherto peaceable vii
lage.
