..IfIonIy Had Capltal.''

aIfI only had capital ;" we heard
q young man say the other day as
be puffed away at a ten cent cigar,
81 would do something"
/. "If I only had capital" said
another, as be walked away from a
dram shop where he had Just paid
ten cents for a drink, 81 would go
into business"
Tha same remark might have
been heard from the young man
loafng on the street corner.
Young man with a cigar, you are
smoking away your capital. You
from the dramshOp are drinking
yours and destroying your body at
the same time-and you at the street
corner are wasting yours in idleness
and forming bad habits. Dimes
make dollars. Time is money
Don't wait for q fortune to begin
with. If you had ten thousand
dollars a year and spent it all, you
would be poor still. Our men Of
power and influence did not start
with fortunes. You too can make
your mark, if you will. But you
must stop spending your money for
what you do not need, and squan-
dering your time in idleness.
Go to work. Do whatever you can
find. Refuse no honorable york
until you can get better. 1t is moi
honest work that degrades men
Make good use Of your time. Save
your earnings and improve your
leisure moments by storing your
mind with useful knowledge. Be
true to your employer. Care fol
his interests as if they were your
own.
Such conduct will make yoT
friends, and judioious economy will
accumulate you capital. Then yor
msy begin for yourself whenever
favorable opportunity offers; anG
the same industry, economy anC
attention to business will give yOJ
a competence.
This is the way you can attain t.
power and influence. If you ge
them any other way, your bad hab
its will waste your patrimony anC
destroy your influence. If you are
unwilling to labor for them, you arr
unworthy to enjoy them and viii
never get them. There is still nj
excellence without labor.

God has made the sexes that wO-
men, like children, cling to men !;
lean upon them for protection, care,
and love; look up to them as
though they were superior in mind
and body. They make them the
suns of their system, and their
children revolve around them
Men are gods, if they but knew it.
Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts, want men
to lean upon. Think Of their rev.
ereneing q drunkard, a liar, a fool,
or Il libertine. If a man would
have a woman do homage, he must
be manly in every sense ; a true
gentleman, not after the Chester
field school, but polite because his
heart is full of kindness to all {; one
who treats her with respect, even
Difference, because she is a woman /;
who never eOndescends O.say silly
things to her; who brings her up
to his level, if his mind is above
hers; who is.never over anxious to
please, but always anxious to do
right; who las no time to be friv-
olous with her; always dignifed in
speech and act; who never spends
too much upon her; who never
yields to temptation, even if she
puts it in his way; who is ambitious
to make his mark in the world,
whether she encourage him or not ;
who is never familiar with her to
the extent of being an adopted
brother or cousin; who is never
over careful about dress; always
pleasant and considerate, but always
keeping the place of the man, the
head, and never losing it. Such
department, with noble principles,
good mind, energy, and industry,
will win any woman in the world
who is worth winning.-[Exeelsior

Make nREnnennl. Bows.

Joe, Jimmy, Harry, we've got a sug-
gestion to make:
Did you ever think what pleasure
there is in museum? All manner of
curlosities arc to be gathered, if you
only set about it, and in a little while
you will have such collection as will
be a source of great amusement and
pride to you. Commence by laying
aside specimens Of coins, fractional cur
reney, stamps; then get all the auto
graphs you can-letters from noted per-
sons; then photographs of eminent
people, as well as Of celebrated pictures
and statunry; then add to your treas
ures works of art or skill-curious
things from other lands, stuffed speci-
mems OF birds, &c. Why, before you
are hheeu years old you will be quite a
Barnum! Your good parents will be
glad to encourage this taste in you, and
will give you a room for your cOllec-
lions. Just try it. A friend tells of the
good that happened To a little boy he
knew, who gathered the pOstage-stamps
of all countries. I" In little while, " he
says, {" the boy wanted to know all
about the postal system. when it went
into operation, how it is managed, and
how It pays. Soon he fell to collecting
foreign stamps and with that he began
to locate on the map the countries
whose postage-stamPs he had put in his
strong box. The different devices on
the stamps were objects of interest, and
their significance was studied into. If
the head of the sovereign was repre-
.sented, he wanted to know something
about him, whether he was a good king
OF a bad one, what language he spoke,
and what sort of country he ruled
over" Now, we win wager hat that
little chap will become a wise and good
man. You, boys, can do just the same
thing; so take our advice, and COM

But the Jackson county coal is
uniform in quality from floor to roof,
and requires no separation, which
would be necessary in the Straits
Vile coal seam, if used for iron MAX
ing purposes. The straitsville coal
is probably an excellent coal, but
certainly inferior to the Jackson
Shaft or Hill coal.
Not only is our shaft coal a supe-
rior iron. making coal, but the hill
coal has been tried, and found also
successful.
Tho jackson Iron and Coal Com
pany used the Hill coal in the Dia-
mond Furnace, and produced a good
mill iron.
This is no longer an experiment,
but an assured fact, that Jackson
Shaft and Hill Goals are adapted to
irOn.smeltIng.
The vinton Furnace, after being
unsuccessful in attempting to make
iron from other and inferior coal,
is now shipping Jackson shaft coal,
(from the Star Shaft and making
twelve to fifteen tons Of excellent
iron.
The iron, unrivaled In quality,
which has been made with the shaft
coal, has been made from Jackson
county ores limestone ore, of which
suA exhaustless fields are found in
Lawrence county.
The ores being the same, Il Law
renee county had access to our Goals,
what an immense field of wealth
would be opened. Lawrence could

here Lawrence ores both grow
richer, and make vast carrying
business for the Railroad. Let the
proposed road (for which Col. Trim
bic is doing so much) be built, Law.
renee county could extend the Iron
Railroad, anda a great stride would
have been taken toward the devel.
Opement, of not only Lawrence and
Jackson, but Gallia, and other coun-
ties.
Here, then, in Jackson, we have
vast fields of coal, peculiarly adapt
ed to iron making, and Lawrence
has inexhaustible stores of ores, that
make iron, unrivalled in quality ;
and both have abundance oflime-
stone, for fux, all waiting for the
coming of Railroad, to be trans,
formed into a vast manufacturing
district and not slowly either; for

This route, HilIsborOugh, Jackson

In examining the portion OF the
Report of the Geological Survey Of
Ohio, published in advance Of the
main work, we see that the value Of
the Goals and ores of Jackson county
receive the mention they deserve,
although the report Of our county is
not given.
The principal part Of the Report
is given to the straitsville eoaI-felds,
and Jackson is mentioned only by
way of comparison.
The very economic Importance Of
coal and iron Is appreciated by those
engaged in the survey.
In view Of the agitation of the
.Hillsborough, Jackson and symmes'
Creek route, for the connection OF
the great Lakes and Pacific Road
with the saaboaFd, BY the Chesapeake
e Ohio Railroad, it seems a fitting
time to call the attention of Iron
men and Railroad men, to the great
advantages that are found combined
in Jackson county, rendering it not
only a most desirable point for in
vestment, but a paying railway sta
'tion.
The "main. spring of civilization" "
coal, is here, not only il abundance,
but Of such peculiar quality as rem
ders it an iron.making coal with but
few equals in the world. za
What Is known as "Jackson Shaft
Coal" was discovered in 1863. A
shaft was sunk, the coal lying 81
feet below the surface, and the Or
ange Furnace built, by a company
of enterprising men, who believed
the coal was adapted to the smelling
of iron.
The furnace used the shaft coal,
and Jackson county ores, and was a
perfect success, and is yet making
iron not excelled by any hOt-bIast
iron in any country.
In 1864 another shaft was sunk,
by part of the same company, about
a half mile northeast of the Or.
.ange, on much lower ground, the
coal being struck 35 feet below the
surface.
This company mined and sold coal
to the NJ. & G. R. r., for use in their
machine shops, and as a fuel for their
engines, which gave perfect satisfae.
tion.
In 1866 the owners of the shaft
organized, and built the Star Fur
mace, that has been in successful op-
GRAFTON ever since, and still is max
ing iron of a superior quality.
Another shaft was sunk in 1866,
about half a mile from each of the
others, east, at which shaft, in 1868,
the Fulton Furnace was built.

Coal is as follows:
