Lecture ON Dickens.

The Lorain county Neaos says, skate
Fields lecture on Dickens, delivered at
the First Church on Wednesday night
of last week, was a flash in the pant
amounted to nothing. The reputation
of the lady drew fair audience. Miss
Fields lecture is nothing more than Q
rehash of the articles which have ap-
-peared in "Harper's Weekly" and
=" Monthly" the "Atlantic," on Charlie:
Dickens. 1t is an imposition on the
public for such lecturers to travel about
the country, charging one hundred dol
lars night for their thin cruel. Mis-
Field can write pleasant magazine Of
newspaper essay, but as lyceum lee
turer she is failure.

The Post Office,

There has been some excitement du-
ring the past week concerning a change
in the Post Office i'm this place. Abont
two years ago the active Republicans of
the place, agreed among themselves, as
we understand it, that any one, who
would start Republican paper in Mill
ersburg, should have the Post Office to
help sustain it. About the 1st of March,
il was intimated to us that other parties
would like to have the Office. This be-
ing the case, our friends urged us to put
in our claim, which we did, by asking
that the Office be given to n. w. Lau-
bach in the interest of the REPUBLICAN
Office. From the general dissatisfaction
which exists among the business men of
the town and community, as to the
manner in which the office has been
conducted, We naturally concluded that
a change was desirable. The question
now lies with the people to say, whether
one man shall reap, for his own person.
al advantage, the benefits of the office,
or whether it shall go to the support of
Republican journal in this county. We
ask the people to decide. A number
who have signed the. remonstrance OF
the present incumbent, did so, We are
told, not knowing who the opposition
was. who otherwise would have been
glad to see the change made. This is
the way the matter now stands. We
claim that the two offices should so to-
9ether.

Early Rising.

A young farmer found he was going
to be reduced in circumstances. He went
to a friend to ask his advice. This friend,
with a grave face, said, 81 know of a
charm that will cure that; take this lit
tie cup, and drink from it every morn
ing of the water you must get at such a
spring. But remember, you must draw
it yourself at five o'clock, or the charm
will be broken" The next morning he
walked across his fields, for the spring
was at the farther end of his estate, and
spying a neighbor's cows which had
broken through the fence, and were feed
ing on his pasture, he turned them out
and mended the fence. The laborers
were not yet at work; when they came
lettering along after their proper time,
they were startled at seeing their master
so early. "Oh!" said he" 81 see how il
is; it comes of my not getting up in
time" This early rising soon became a
pleasant habit; his walk and cup of wa
ter gave him an appetite for breakfast
and the people were, like him, early al
work. He soon acknowledged that the
advice his friend had given was as good
as it was simple.

Secret Of Happiness.

An Italian bishop, who had struggled
through many difficulties without re-
pining, and been much opposed without
manifesting impatience, being asked
by a friend to communicate the
secret of his being always so happy, re-
piled, sit consists in single thing, and
that is, making a right use Of my eyes,
His friend, in surprise, begged him to
explain his meaning. "Most willingly
replied the bishop. SIN whatsoever
state am, first of all look up to heaven
and remember that my great business is
to get there. / then look down upon
earth, and call to my mind how small {
space shall soon fill in it. then looI
abroad in the world, and see what null
titudes are, in all respects, less happy
than myself. And thus l learn where
true happiness is placed, where all my
cares must-end, and how little reason
ever had to murmur, or to- be otherwise
than thankful. And to live in this spirit
is to be always happy

Poverty.

What is poverty? Not destitution,
but poverty? 1t has many shapes-as-
poets almost as various as the minds and
circumstances of those whom it visits.
To the savage in the wilds, it is famine ;
to the laborer in the cottage, it is hard
ship and privation; to the proud, it is
disgrace; and to the miser, it is despair.
1t is spectre, haunting the man who
lives at ease, with dread of change.
Such are its varied aspects: but what is
it in reality? 1t is really deficiency
of the comforts of life-a deficiency
present and to come. 1t involves many
other things; but this is what it is. Is
it, then, worth all the apprehensions
and grief it occasions? Is it an adequate
cause for the gloom of the merchant
the discomfort of the artizan, the fore
boding sighs of the mother, the ghastly
dreams which haunt the avaricious, tn,
humiliation of the proud? These ar
severe sufferings; are they authorized
by the nature of poverty? Certainly
not; if poverty induced no adventitiou
evils, involved nothing but a deficienc!
of the comforts of life, leaving life itsel
unim paired. "The life is more thai
food, and the body than raiment," an
the untimely extinction of life itsel
would not be worth the pangs which ap
pretended poverty eHeites,

Shadows.

The shadows all day long play at ST.
lent games of beauty. Everything is
double if it stands in light. The trees
see an unrevealed and muffled self lying
darkly along the ground. The slender
stems of flowers, golden rods, wayside
asters, meadow daises, and rare lilies
rare and yet abundant in every nice
level meadow-cast forth dim and
tremulous line of shadow that lies long
in the morning, shortening till noon,
and creeping out again from the root all
the afternoon, until the sun shoots it as
far eastward in the morning. a mill
ion shadowy arrows such as these spring
from Apollo's golden bow of light at
every step. Flying in every direction,
they cross, interlacing each other in a
sort of network of dim lines. Mean
while, the clouds drop shadow-like an
chors that reach the ground, but will
not hold; every browsing creature,
every fitting bird, every moving team,
every unconscious traveller, writes itself
along the ground in dim shadows.

Land SWindlers.

Our farmers should be on their guard
for swindling land agents many ofwhom
are quite extensively operating in ada
cent counties, according to the state
ments of our exchanges. Their modus
operandi is something like the follow
ing: They call on farmer who they
think has little spare money, propose
to ll..him Western lands, make very
fair inducements and sell at reasonable
figures. They tell the buyer that unless
everything is as represented by them he
will not have to pay for the land; they
even enter into 4 written contract with
him to this effect. But at the same time
they require negotiable note, which
they sell on the first opportunity at a
discount of fifty to seventy per cent,
and every cent can be recovered from
the man that gives the note. Farmers,
beware of whom you purchase lands
and particularly Western lands.

Gone East.

Mcdowell of the firm of Who'll, Uhler
& Co. started for New York Monday
morning for the purpose of laying in 4
large stock of goods. The business of
this firm, during the year just closing,
has been about twenty-five per cent
more than it was last year. And as
goods are from six to ten per cent.
cheaper than they were last year, they
shave sold about thirty per cent. more
goods. This speaks well for them. Mrs.
rhler has been east visiting some of the
manufactures in the millinery lire
which will be of great advantage in
suiting the taste of her customers. She
has laid in a large and well selected
stock. Mrs. Uhler's department, W
stairs, has been rearranged and enlarged
so as to extend the business. Call ant
examine their well selected stock o
goods.

uanSe Rurnnd.

The dwelling of Mrs. James Buchanan
of Monroe Township, was consumed by
fire on Monday about noon. The great
er part of her household goods was de-
stroyed. The fire originated in the
kitchen part Of the house. Probable
loss $4,000. She had an insurance on the
tNilding and contents, we are informed,
of $1,000. 1t is wise to be insured in
some good company as no one can tell
when or how fire NAV occur.

The preference for the genuine Howe
Sewing Machine is such that the agents,
Messrs. Menuez G. Rood, receive fire.
Quent applications for exchange from
those who have been betrayed into tho
purchase of Machines of other manu-
tacturers; in such cases these machines
have been in use but few weeks. 1t is
the safest and cheapest plan, when pur-
chasing machine, to purchase a Howe
and no other. The economy of this
course is made fully apparent in the
course of few years of usage. 17,12

A Mothers Love,

Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling OF
even single touch that is bestowed up
on you by that gentle hand! Make
much of it while you have most pre-
cious gift a loving mother. Read the
unfathomed love of those eyes: the kind
anxiety of the tone and look, however
slight your pain. In after life you may
have friends fond, dear, kind, friends,
but never will you have again the mex
pressive love and gentleness layished
upon you which none but mother can
bestow.

A Railroad Argument,

One year ago land in the vicinity OF
Canensburg, Pa, was selling for $l25,0C
per acre, surface, coal and all. Since
that time 4 railroad has been built to
the place from Pittsburgh, and now cap
italists are paying $500 per acre for the
coal alone. This is an argument that
carried force with it and many of oul
land owners in the Killbuck Valley
would do well to ponder over the matter
and have 1t in mind whenever an oppor.
tnnity is offered to aid in building q rail.
road through or in the neighborhood o
their lands.
