New STORES AND LARGE STOCKS.
In addition to the old established
and reliable business houses in Cedar
Falls, the readers of the GAZETTE
have noticed the opening of several
new stores during the past few
months. All of these carry O heavy
stock and are constantly supplied
with an assortment acknowledged to
be ahead of u neighboring towns.
Our merchants make it an object for
parties from a distance to come to
Cedar Falls to trade. They deal
largely on small profits. In recon-
mending our business men to the
public who may not have dealt
with them heretofore, we feel war;
ranted in saying that there can not
be found n more pleasant and accom-
modating class of merchants to deal
with in travelling the States over
than we have in this same wide.
awake town of Cedar Falls. We are
informed that the public are learning
every day the truthfulness of this
statement.

COULDN'T HAVE REsISTED.-A
good story is told us of an old soldier
in Zion, who was preaching a few
months ago at Il camp-meeting in
this State, from that passage of Scrip
ture relating to Potiphar's wife and
Joseph. He went on to speak of the
purity and Christian fortitude of
Joseph, in thus so heroically resist
ing the seductive influences of Poti.

until his hearers IA brsathlessly
wondering what would come next,
he turned around to the row of min
listers in rear of him, and with tears
in his eyes, exclaimed MY Breth-
rem, I'm afraid that had we been
tempted as Joseph was, we never
could have resisted.

Out ut Night.

Fathers and mothers look out for your
boys when the shadowsof evening have
gathered around you! Where are they,
then? Are they at home at the pleas
ant, social fireside, or running the
streets? Are they gaining street ed
ucation? If SO, take care; the chances
of their ruin are many. There is scarce
ly anything so destructive to their NOR
ais as running abroad at night. Under
cover of darkness, they acquire the edu-
cation of crime; they learn to be row.
dyish, if not absolutely vicious; they
catch up loose talk, they hear sinful
thoughts and they see obscene things
and they become reckless and riotous,
If you would save them from ruin, save
them from vulgarity, see to it that night
finds them at home. More than one
young man has told the chaplain of the
State Prison that here was the begin
ming of his downward course that final
ly brought him to the felon's cell. Lei
parents solemnly ponder this matter
and do all they can to make home at
tractive to all the children-so attrac-
tive that the boys will prefer it to roam
ing in the streets. There is no place
like home in more senses than one-cer-
tainly no place like home for boys il
the evening.

Cold. Bleak, Winter.

Cold, bleak winter is here. To one
class it means only warmer rooms,
heavier clothing, ruddier cheeks, sleigh
rides over the sparkling snow, skating,
and all manner of cold weather festivi-
ties; while to the other class it means
greater expenses Of living that seem al
most impossible to meet, more rigid
economy of money, and fuel, and light,
that seem equally impossible to exert
beggary, importuning creditors, and
everything that humiliates and drives
out hope and ambition. 1t is hack
neyed subject, this of the poor, but it is
oft recurring, and cannot be put away.
1t will be so as long as the world lasts.
There will always be those who are
rich in the comforts of home and al
ways those who are poor. 1t rests,
then, with those who are well provided
to think kindly, and give freely, iu cases
of genuine distress.

0ur Schools.

We intended to call attention to the
communication of Robert Justice, Esq,
which appeared in this paper Nov. 30th,
relative to our schools. The Squire is
eminently fitted to judge of the manner
Of conducting school properly, being
q man of sound judgment and long e1-
perience as a teacher. We agree with
him as every one must know, who has
been close reader of the REPUBLICAN
for the last yeIr, that one great fault of
our people is the fact-and stubborn
fact it is-that parents are so seldom
seen in the school-room. Parents should
remember the time when they were
children, and how glad it made their
little hearts to see their parents enter
the school-room and watch with eager
ness and pleasure as they went through
the lessons of the day. Give your chill
dren the same pleasure you once enjoy
ed, and at the same time astimulant to
greater exertion, by lending youripres-
ence often in the school-room. Having
had eleven years experience as a teach
er ourselves, we "speak that we dc
know, and testify of that we have seen.

Wearing Flannel.

The majority of people are not aware
of the beneficial effects of wearing fan
mel next to the body, both in cold and
warm weather. Flannel is not so un-
comfortable in warm weather as preju-
diced people believe. Frequent colds
and constant hacking coughs will de-
part on putting on flannel. There is no
need of great bulk about the waist,
which condemns the wearing of flannel
with those who prefer wasp-waists to
health, for in that case the flannel can
be cut as loosely fitting waists, always
fastening at the back. There are scarce
ly any of the bad effects of sudden
changes of weather felt by those who
wear flannel garments; and mothers
especially, should endeavor to procure
such for their little people, in preference
to all those snowy outside trimmings
which fashion commends.

What heart has not had themP Who
has nottraveled under clouds; looked
up upon senseless, starless sky; no
rift along the clouds; no break in the
dull, dark monotony of human life?
The eye dimmed; the heart saddened; ;
the hopes crushed; the fairest flowers
of earth faded; a chill, like the touch of
death, upon our warmest heart-strings !;
friendless, forsaken, alone-yet not
alone, for He that sees through the
darkest clouds, is ever near us.
Darkness is part of life's discipline.
1t makes US bolder, stronger, and more
determined in our purposes. Dark hours
make friendships dearer to us. We lean
with confidence on those We love, and
learn that God has not created us to be
selfish and independent.
Dark hours dwarf human ambition,
curb our passions, modify our purposes
and teach us there is limit to human
vanity. AS Winter enables the trees to
gather sap for the approaching Spring,
SO these homes fit us for the more active
duties of future life. ....
The glare of sunshine Is not the best
for peace or prosperity; the saddest
hours are frequently the most profit
able.
From the deep caves of earth, though
dark, stars are seen that no lofty noun
tain-top could reveal to the silent, up
ward gazer. IS

peer into the gloom of the grave? Turn
thy eye heayenward! Beyond the place
where the stars glimmer is a land un-
wet by a tear, unbrOken by a grave, ant
where no cloud filings its shadow on til,
eye or heart. .-...
Fear not the future of life. No night
so long but that the morning brok'
resplendent; no storm has beaten on thu
earth SO furiously but that its hug
clouds have rolled away, and the bow
of promise arcled the heayens. s
/ And In that world of light beyond i
will be seen we needed to tread th'
elouded vale to reach the sunlit hills o
Paradise. -t.
