Taste Not.

Drunk. Young man, did you ever
stop to think how terrible that word
sounds? Did you ever think what
misery You brought upon your friends
when you degraded your manhood by
getting drunk. Drunk. How the word
rings in the ear OF loving wife. How
il makes the heart of a mother bleed
How it crushes the hopes of father,
and brings shame and reproach upon
sisters. Drunk! See him as he leans
against the corner of some friendly
house. He stands ready to fall into the
jaws of hell, unconscious as to his ap-
preaching fate. The wife, with aching
heart sits at the window to hear her
husbands footsteps-but they come not
lie is drunk! he is spending the means
of support for liquor while his family is
starving Tor bread, his children fol
clothing. Drunk! His reputation is 60
ing, gone! His friends, one by one, are
leaving him to his fate. He goes down
to his grave "unhonored and unwept."

Self.Reliance.

There is nothing more likely to result
in the successful career of young man
than confident self-reliance. 1t is aston
ishing how much more youth will ac-
complish who relies upon himself, than
one who depends upon others for assist
ance. Having first ascertained the di-
rection in, and the means by which his
object is to be reached, let him put his
whole energies to work, and with un-
tagging industry press forward. The
young man who, instead of rising at
five, sleeps till seven or eight, and who
spends his evenings on the corners, or
in the companionship of those who are
wanting in laudible ambition, rarely
ever wins a position of honor or achieves
a reputation above that enjoyed by the
common masses.

MEssRs. EDITORS The dwelling house
of William Campbell, two miles north
east of this place, in Ripley township.
was destroyed by fire about two O'Clock
this morning. The family made mar
row escape. The bedrooms were on the
second floor and in the south part of the
building. The fire originated in the
large room on the north part below and
had made such progress, that the in
mates had to make their escape through
the windows of the second story in
their night clothes. In very few
minutes after the whole of the outside
of the building was completely wrapt in
flames. All their household goods of
every kind were lost. The building be-
longed to Matthew Campbell, and the
whole loss would amount to fifteen
hundred or two thousand dollars. No
insurance. l..

the American civil f1,300,000; the
Italian war, f60,000,000: the Prus-
so-Austrian war f6G,000,000. The
loss of life, it has been estimated, in
all these wars together amounted to

EDITORS REPUBLICAN: Next Sunday
the Presbyterian church in this place
will be dedicated am heartily glad to
be able to make this statement as it has
been long time since the foundation of
this building was laid. On the first
| floor is lecture room and two smaller
apartments. The main room on the
second floor is fine one, and will ac-
commodate large audience. This room
is beautifully finished, and presents a
tasty appearance. The ceiling is arched,
and finished in ash, giving a pleasing
effect. The structure has some defects,
Of course, but We must not expect to
find architectural perfection in all cases.
Orrville has good prospects for con-
siderable progress the coming summer
Mr.. Jacob Brenneman is making prepa-
rations for the erection of a business
block one hundred feet front by forty
feet deep, three stories high. The build
ing will be built of brick, and the first
floor will be divided into store rooms.
MIR. Brenneman means business, and it
is hoped that his effort may be eminent
ly successful.
Messrs. Miller G. Taylor have sue
ceeded in removing the old SHELTON
building, and are preparing to erect in
its stead the finest appearing block in
town. The first floor of their building
will be divided into two very neat busi-
ness rooms, while the second floor will
be fitted up for the lodges of the Odd
Fellows and American Mechanics. This
building will be a wooden structure
sanded and blocked in imitation of stone.
The Crescent Office has received some
additional help in the shape of young
printer who came along one morning
last week. 1t is supposed that he is pre-
pairing to furnish that paper with some
original articles on the dairy business as
he seems to devote his whole attention
to the subject of milk at present.
1almost forgot to add that the Rev.
Doctor Lord, of the Wooster University,
will preach the dedication sermon at the
Presbyterian church.
Prospects are favorable for some more
sleighing.
Permit me to congratulate you on the
introduction of steam power in your
office. Yours, &C.,

C0nundrums for Young Ladies and
Gentlemen,

We catch the following "on the fly"
and transfer them to our columns. We
could imagine a negative answer would
follow in both cases, but how about the
transposition? But then "the case be-
ing altered, alters the case Here are
the conundrums:
For THE LADIEs.-Could you love a
man who wore false hair on his head,
when he had enough of his own?
Who painted his face and improved his
form As you improve ~ yours? Who
pinched his feet with small shoes, his
hands with small gloves, his waist with
corsets; and then, is though he had not
already deformed himself enough, tied a
huge hustle to his back?
For THE GENTLEMEN.-COuld you
love 4 girl who defled her mouth witt
tobacco and loaded the air with fumes
Of cigars? Who staggered home sew.
eral times week the worse for liquor
Who INDUCED in fast horses, bet high a
races, and staggered around the street:
with questionable companions:

Sensible.

The following sensible paragraph is
found in an exchange: "Some say that
it is no use for them to advertise, that
they have been in one place Of business
all their lives, and everybody knows
them. Such people seem to forget to
take into consideration that our country
is increasing in population nearly forty
per cent. every ten years, and no matter
how old the place may be, there are
constant changes taking place. In this
age of the world, unless the business
firm is kept constantly before the pub
lie, some new firms may start up, and
by liberally advertising in very short
time take place of the older ones, and
the latter rust ont, as it were, and be for
gotten. No man ever lost money by
jndicious advertising"

Distance Of Fixed Stars.

The great mass of the people have no
definite idea whatever of the immense
distance the fixed stars are from the
earth. In fact the distance is in con-
ceivably great and beyond the compre-
hension of the wisest and most powerful
intellects. The study of these worlds
and suns, that we see above us at night,
is one of most absorbing interest," A
few evening last week, on account of
the clearness OF the heavens, gave fine
opportunity for this study. In looking
at the different consultations now Wis
ible, with few friends the other eve
ming, and calling attention TO the most
prominent stars, the question was asked
as to the probable distance of some of
them. As there are others who would
be glad to have little information OH
this subject, we would say that the star
Polaris, more commonly known as the
North Polar Star, is at such an i'm
mense distance that light, travelling at
the rate of nearly 100000 miles a second,
would require torty-sic gears to reach
the earth. To compute this distance, We
must find how many seconds there are
in forty-six years, and then multiply
this number by 20O,O0O-or to be more
accurate by $4,000. This product will
give the number of miles from the earth
to the Polar Star. Here are the figures,
read and try to form some idea of the
distance-29O, l32, 200, 100000. VIII some
boy tell us how long it would take a
man to count this number by counting
200 minute?
But this is only one out of an innu-
merable host many of which are still in
calculably farther off. These fixed stars
are suns and shine by their own light,
and have the same appearance that the
sun would have if removed to the re-
gioD OF the stars. Hence we infer that
they are bodies of the same kind with
the sun. We are justified therefore by a
sound analogy, in concluding that the
stars were made for the same end as the
sun, namely, as the centers of attraction
to other planetary worlds, to which they
severally dispense their light and heat.
Although the starry heavens presents,in
clear night, q spectacle of ineilable
grandeur and beauty, get it must be
admitted that the chief purpose of the
stars could not have been to adorn the
night, since by far the greater part of
them are wholly invisible to the naked
eye; nor as landmarks to the navigator,
for only very small proportion of
them are adapted for this purpose; nor,
finally, to influence the earth by their
attractions, since thsir distance renders
such an effect entirely insensible. Ii
they are suns, and if they exert no i'm
portant agencies upon our world, then
it is rational TO suppose that they were
made to give light and heat. And to
what do they dispense these gifts if not
to planetary worlds2 And why to
planetary worlds, if not TO percipient
beings? We are thus led, almost in
evitably, to the idea of a plurality OF
worlds, and the conclusion is forced up
on us, that the spot which the Creator
has assigned TO us is but an humble
province of his boundless empire.

WOmanliness.

Once it was considered an essential o
womaDliness that a woman should be ;
good house-mistress, judicious dis
penser of the income, careful guide tc
her servants good manager generally
Now practical housekeeping is degra.
dation, and the free soul which disdains
the details of housekeeping yearns fol
the employment of an actuary, of &
law clerk, of bankers clerk. Making
pills is held to be nobler employ thar
making puddings.
But the oldest part of the presen,
odd state of things is the curious blind
ness of woman to what is most beauti-
full in themselves. And granting, even
that the world has turned SO far upside
down that the one sex does not care tc
please the other, still there is good o.
itself in beauty, which some of oul
modern women seem to overlook. And
of all kinds of beauty, that which is in
S40OOu IL W ustJ VIC
ness is the greatest and most beautiful.
Her soul is not given up to ribbons
but neither is she Indifferent to exter-
mails, and to dress among them. She
knows that part of her natural mission
is to please and be charming, and she
knows that dress sets her off, and that
men feel more enthusiastically towards
her when she looks fresh and pretty than
when she is dowdy and fright; and,
being womanly, she likes the admira-
ton of men, and thinks their love d
better thing than their indifference. II
she likes men, she loves children and
does not fret over her miseries when
forced to have them about her. She
knows that she was designed by God
and Nature for q mother-sent into the
world for that purpose mainly; and she
knows that maternity means more than
simply giving life, and then leaving 1t
to Others to preserve. She has no new
tangled notions about the animal char
aeter of motherhood, or about the de-
grading character of housekeeping. On
the contrary, she thinks populous and
happy nursery one of the greatest bless
ings of her state, and she puts her pride
in the perfect ordering, the comfort,
thoughtfulness, and beauty of her house.
She does not want to ape the manliness
she can never possess.
