How to Keep Poor.

There is no working man but who
would rejoice to have the way pointed
out by which he might honestly attain
riches. No one would thank us for a
prescription to insure poverty, and yet
there is many a man who keeps himself
poor by indulging in the following ::
Two glasses of ale day, at ten cents,
seventy-three dollars; three cigars, one
after each meal, one hundred and nine
dollars and fifty cents; board for big
dog, thirty dollars-all in one year, two
hundred and twelve dollars and fifty
cents-sufficient to buy six barrels OF
-apur, one barrel of sugar, one sack of
eoffse, good coat, respectable dress,
freaf / for the baby and half dozen
pairs d shoes. If you don't believe it,
working man, figure for yourself.

10 Make Moss Baskets.

These beautiful ornaments should
adOrn our houses, more than they do.
They are very simple and more easy of
construction. Get the moss from some
old woodland; the green feathery moss
is best. Then take pasteboard and make
a frame 70 any form desired. When the
pasteboar I'D forms are cut out, take bright
eolored fthibit, silk or satin, and cut
pieces t be same shape as the pasteboard
forms, dhly one-fourth of an inch more.
Place Il Ie pasteboard on the cloth, glue
or past the edges down, and sew the
pieces Il tSgether. Take a narrow strip of
pastebdhrd, covered with the same the
basketIi covered with. Then take
pieces jof chenille cord and braid over
and y hder the length of the strip. Fas-
ten efch end to opposite sides of the
BASKET. Cut the moss from the roots,
paste it thickly on the outside of the
basket; take chenille cord like that on
4 Re handle or bail, glue it in every seam
inside around the top, taking pains to
|do it all nicely and the work is done.

Matrimonial.

We are happy to be able this morning
to announce the marriage of our friend
and associate editor, Mr.. n. w. Lau-
bach and Miss Joanna Sharp of Woos-
ter. The ceremony took place at 81
O'Clock, Tuesday morning, and the hap
py couple took the O'Clock train for
Chicago, Omaha, and other Western
cities. Rev. S. w. Miller officiated in
his usually happy and graceful manner.
1t was quiet and pleasant little we'd
ding. We rejoice that Mr.. Laubach has
taken such an amiable, accomplished and
affectionate life partner, who will no
doubt be to him staff through life as
well as a bosom friend. His choice is an
excellent one, and it is our wish that
they may live long, happy and pros
porous life. Darkness may sometimes,
as it does in all lives, come over them
and cast shadow for time, but they
must remember that "ddrkness only
makes the light more sweet, and grief
the joy more Deep" The happy couple
take with them the best wishes of friends.
May their path be strewn with roses,
and the sun of joy forever illume their
way; their love each for the other be
Am ever living token
Still by time or change unbroken."

Sincerity.

Give us sincere friends or none. The
hollow glitter of smiles and words
compliments that mean nothing-pro-
testations of affection as solid as the
froth from champagne-invitations that
are but pretty sentences, uttered be-
cause such things are customary-are
all worthless. There is no need of them.
1t is proper to'be civil and courteous to
the most Indifferent stranger; but why
assume friendships outward show when
no reality underlies it? When one feel.
friendship, the object of that sentiment
cannot suffer, and leave our hearts un-
troubled-cannot be slandered, leaving
us unframed.

For the REPUBLICAN.
Our Public Schools.

MEssRs. EDITOR: On last week Wis
tied our Public Schools, and was pleased
with the manner in which they are con-
Quoted,
From the Primary Department to the
High School, l found the teachers busi-
ly engaged and solicitous for the mental
improvement of their scholars. The
discipline, order, and recitations,
throughout the various departments
were commendable.
l do not think that our schools were
ever in more prosperous or f1ourishing
condition, than they are at present, and
will certainly compare favorably with
similar institutions in this section of the
State; a fact which reflects credit on the
Directors, Superintendent, and the
efficient corps of Teachers.
One thing think is lacking on part
of our people. That is that the parents
do not visit the schools as often as they
should. Nothing would be more cheer
ing to the teachers, or more beneficial
to the scholars, than to see and know
that their parents and the citizens gen.
orally take lively interest in their la
bors, and progress in their various
studies. All concurring in the fact, that
well-regulated schools are not only a
credit, but also benefit to a town. 1t
is to be hoped that this defect may be
speedily remedied.

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago OF
Indianapolis, how shall we reach the Westf
The best Line is acknowledged to be the c., b.
O., Joined together with the b. & nj. Rail
road by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the,BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
kearny, forming the shortest route across the
continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into-a line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri
and, by a.slight divergence, can see Nebraska q
also.
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns '.high- gleam-
ing from afar"-its. tree -fringed Streams
rough bluffs and quarries--its corn-oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach.
Land buyers will!be sure to remember it. for
they have friends among the two thou sand who
have already bought farms from Geo IS Harris
the Land Commissioner of the B. 4 nj. r. r. at
Burlington. Iowa, or among the four thousand
home -steaders and pre-empters who last year
filed claims in the Lincoln land office, where

Thanksgiving.

To-day Thursday has been appoint
ed by the civil authorities as day of
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God for the numerous blessings of the
year. There is much, in the review of
the year, in every part of our goodly
land, to call forth gratitude to the Giver
of every good and perfect gift. The
abundant fruits of the earth, the thrift
of all kinds of industries, and the ex-
emption of the greater portion of our
country from the ravages of pestilence,
are among the great mercies that have
fallen from the hand of our Heavenly
Father. "Let us bow down. Let us
kneel before His presence with thanks.
giving and the voice of PSALM for
these, and all the manifold gifts of His
providence.
Those who have been overtaken with
calamity, cities that bave been swept by
pestilence or fire, have received much
for which they owe grateful acknowl-
edgement. Wasted, they are not utterly
consumed. They have stores of wealth
"a marvellous degree of health, the
foundations of their prosperity energy
and hope, and with all, if not above all,
an outflow of sympathy and fellow help
on scale hitherto unknown. 1t is al
I, he pf lnca1ofin,, fn saa
not a continent, but the civilized world,
touched to the heart by the misfortunes
of distant people, and stretching out
an open hand to their relief. -'-i
We understand that proposition will
be made on thanksgiving to organize for
the purpose of collecting comforts for
the sufferers by fire in the Northwest.
Undoubtedly the wants of the inhabi-
tants of that region, who escaped with
their lives, are many, and will continue
through the winter, notwithstanding
what has already been done. We hear
of those who think enough has been
done. We hope they are neither Priests
nor Levites. Although those folks fell
not amongst thieves they have been
scourged by fire and according to our
SaVlour's views, are our neighbors and
deserve at our hands, the treatment be-
slowed by the Samaritan to him who
fell among thieves.
Undoubtedly half has not yet been
told of the sufferings of the stricken
people in the Northwest. Were it not
for want of time and space at this late
hour, we would lay before our readers
the description of Mr.. j. Harris, Chief
Messenger of the House of Representa-
