LETTER FROM GRAND RAPIDS.

June %, 1871.
ED. JOURNAL: Concerning the Celebration
at Whitehouse on the 4th Of July, things here
are assuming shape that portend large dele
cation from this place. Our Division of Sons
aud Good Tenplars have appointed committee
Of arrangements, and they are securing flags,
banners and other equipage appropriate for
such an occasion. The interest in the cause of
temperance is on the increase here. We have
had eight limitations at our two last meetings.
and our Division is in a healthy and prosperous
condition. The Good Templars are also on tie
advance. May the good work be spread far
the youth OF our country from becoming tipiers
and ultimately filling drnnkards graves. 1t is
a lamentable fact that large numbers of our
most promising young men are daily falling
victims to intemperarce, vet there are men
who would Ike to he called gentlemen enga-
ged in the accursed traffic, who are placing the
temptation before them daily.
We are on the margin of ncighborho that
is at present being scourged with that loath-
some disease, small rox. The physicians Of
this place have been busly engagedin vaccinn-
ting tor a few days past. To what extent the
pleague is raging am not prepared to say as
il is between and miles from here, in Da-
mascus township, Henry county. 1t was taken
into that settlement by a man who had been ex
posed on board Of vessel on returning from
Germany.
Crops Of all kinds look first rate in this vicin-
ity. d.

A Question, Which win you do, smile
and make others happy or be Grabbed and make
everybody around you miserable? You can
live amoLg flowers and singing birds, or in the
mire surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount
of ofhappiness which ycu can produce is incalcu.
liable, il you will only show smiling face. a
kind heart and pleasant words. On the other
hand, by sour looks, cross words, and n fretful
disposition you can make others unhappy al
most beyond endurance. Which will you do ?
Wear a pleasant countenance joy and love
beam in your eye q? There is no joy so great as
that which springs from kind actor a pleas
ant deed and IL you do kind act during the
day whereby some fellow mortal has been made
happy, you will feel its glorious influence at
night when you rest, throughout the day, when
about your daily business Ee.

Important Railroad PTOject.-Some
few days since the Hon. ASHER Cook presented
proposition 10 the citizens Of Bowling Green,
on the palt Of himself and other citizens of Per-
Tysburg for the construction of narrow
gauge railroad between Perrysburg and Bow
ling Green, stating that him self and associates
would unite with themin obtaining al act Of in
corporation for such an undertaking, and cor
daily cooperate in the construction Of the road
We learn from the Sentinel of the 22d, that the
citizens of Bowling Green assembled in Reeds
Hall on Tuesday evening of last week To con-
slider the the feasibility Of the project and con-
uded TO adopt broad gauge instead of the
narrow. We deem this conclusion as unforlu.
nate, as beyond peradventure narrow gauge
railroad, from the small cost attending its col-
struction and working would be sure to pay =,
whereas the success OF one on the broad gauge
principle, would be questionable.
We regret the absence of MIR. Cook from the
meeting as he could have furnished valuable
detail lis Of the working of the narrow system and
we hope there will be considerate aud judic-
ious reconsideration given this important enter
prise by our citizens generally.
OF this ole fact, however, the citizens Of Bow
ling Green may be assured, that the people Of
Perrysburg will eheerfully co-operate with.them
in any practicable and iadiciOus enterprises that
iOm tend 10 he general good
In our next issue we will publish an article
showing the successful operation Of the narrow
gauge system in Great Britain.

DEAR BROTHER, COME BACK.


Tonight while the shadows creep overthe earth,
leave all my friends and their wild careless
mirth
My heart seems to melt, all the Coldness has
And mourn for you brother as one that is
dead.
Where are you, a stranger, a wanderer to-
night;
The same sky above us, the same misty light,
My sad heart is pleading, dear brother come
back.
Come back and these hands shall earess you
once more,
And whisper your name as twas whispered
Of yore
Come lay your tired head on loved sisters
And say as you once said, It's here l find
oh sadly ysu erred, and SO deep was the
That you left far behind you in your own ma
tive cline;
But Tonight though your feet chose wild
:. reckless track,
My heart sadly pleads, ernng brother come
back.
Again and ogain did you turn To your God,
Aud we hoped in the path Of true manhood
you trod
But our hopes have been blighted and every
bright thing
In your nature seemed blasted and loosing its
spring.
The winter too early with storm clouds was
given,
And we feared every tie of our love would be
rivcn,
But tonight as 1 look at the past made SO
black,
For yoI, can murmur, poor wanderer come
back.
A stranger and lonely, a wanderer and sad,
Oh ! who will be near you 10 whisper, be glad.
MY brother. dear brother. come to me now,
Aud the kiss Of forgiveness shall rest on your
brow;
My tears are fast falling, the GOODNESS has
fed
All bitterness leaves with these sad tears
shed;
None, none will be near you to point the bright
track,
Ny prayer is, my brother, dear brother come
back.
When last by your side in the proud flush OF
youth,
l thought your face lighted by candor and
truth,
Then soon came the news, that low leveled
our pride.
| though it were better for you, had you died
And oh when the shadows creep over us all,
And | think you can never respond to my cali ',
My eyes are so blind, that lose lite's TRANCE
track,
And I'm bitterly sobbiug, dear brother come
back.

Good Manners-Among the MANY 90,

Good ManneTs.-AmOng the many good
things said by r. W. EMERsoN, in recent lee
ture on self culture, were the following: "The
Importance of fine and cldvated manners cannot
be over estimated. Such cultivation is to be OBJ
tanned by association with those who are cult
waited, and we should properly consider the i'm
portance of securing such associations for our
children. Behavior Is all-important. An awk-
ward man is graceful when asleep, or when
hard at work. When our mind is occupied we
shall naturally assume a proper position
Great power lies in the voice. One man by his
tones, can animate a regiment, while another
has no following power. There is an immense
difference bstween a heavy and genial manner
The youth Of America generally appear hurried
AID i'll at ease, yet no life is short but there is
