UncOnsidered Trines.

IT cannot be too deeply impressed on
people, especially the young, that very
few real triiles exist in life; that is, there
are very few actions, habits or words
which carry with them no consequences,
or of which you may safely say it really
does not much signify which way they
go, or how you act in the affair. Lazy folks
are fond of assuming that everything is a
trifie. There is nothing new and nothing
true, and it does not matter from first to
last. 1t saves trouble TO grind ones con.
science thus into impalpable powder, so
that 1t shall not be stumbling block in
the way of the will; and to break up the
importance of life in the same mortar is
comfortable at all events, if not quite ac-
cording to fact and verify. But laziness
is not the noblest way of getting through
the world, and it is better to take a little
trouble to set things as they should be
than to 60 drifting along anyhow. The
plea that nothing much signifies" and
''what matters such trit1e rs that?' is
about the worst one can have whercwith
to preface ones life work.
Things which are trifles taken individ
ually, and of no value to any one-scarce
ly to themsclves-are collectively forces
that rule the world, and alter the whole
face of things. What can be "A greater
proof of this than the relative importance
of an individual microscopic insect, whose
world perhaps stretches out a couple of
inches on the whole, whose loves and
sorrows no poet has ever risen to embalm
i'm verse, whose very existence would pass
away altogether unnoticed, save when
man, impelled by divine curiosity, brings
science to his aid, and supplements his
own deficiencies by its inexhaustible rich.
messy And yet the chalk formation and
the flint insect are things which the world
could scarce have done without; and In
fusoria play more important part in the
general economy than one would think
likely--considered only unit, and that
unit in the light of an animate tribe.
People are so apt to think that all the
work is done by mighty means and much
noise thereat, by thunderstorms and
earthquakes, and great upheavals and
convulsions; they do not remember the
long years of patient labor which must be
gone through before little colony of

A Handy Kitchen.

TIE other day we went into a modei
kitchen Between it and the dining-room
a small passage served as closet, and also
TO keep all odors of the kitchen from
reaching the dining-table On one side OF
the kitchen was a large range, beyond
that sink with hot and cold water lead
ing into it, and a waste pipe from IL. AT
the end of the ROOM between two WIN
dows. screened to prevent the ingress OF
flies. stood a long workable with a series
of drawers. On the other side OF the room
were two stationary tubs, each with faucets
for hot and cold water, and discharge
pipe. Hinged covers made an ironing Ia
BILE, firm and ample.
Inst bevond the sink door opened into
the pantry, room four by ten, with
window, a shelf running round three sides
of it, wide and high enough to cover bar
rels of flohr, sugar and meal
At one end the space beneath this shelf
was filled with deep drawers for towels,
table-cloths, the ironing blanket, starch
and blueing, each in appropriate place.
The housewife needed but to step in there
and find everything at hand necessary to
prepare food for the table No running
lp-stairs for meal and flour, no labor get
ting ready to make bread, or pies, or
cake pans were close by; spices IN neat
boxes at her elbow coffee-mill, with a
little shelf under it to hold the cup, was
screwed over the window casing. What
hardships are there in doing work in such
kitchen
Contrast it with another we toiled in
once. China closet in one corner of a
room, twenty -four by fourteen, dry sink
and dark closet at the opposite end OF the
diagonal, stove midway, pump in an out
house three steps down and twenty-five
feet distant, cistern pump ditto, flour and
meal in the kitchen chamber. By the
time everything required to make bread,
pies, or cake was gotten together our
strength was quite gone, but the food had
to be made and the wearisome task OF
putting everything in place gone through
| with.
| The kitchen could have been made toll
cradle by cutting of section including
| the sink and contiguous window for a
pantry, with shelves and drawers sufii-
| cient to contain everything needed in the
kitchen. The waste pipe should have
been put into the sink the pumps from
both cistern and well set in shelves near
it, and then one could have worked there
with comfort. An expenditure Of little
industry, ingenuity and money would
convert many an ill-planned, dismal
kitchen into a cheerful, commodious
room.-NeW York Times.

Notes at the Editorial Convens
ton.

The essay prepared and ready by John
D. .Devor, at the session OF the Edltoria'
Convention in this place, on the subject
of" j Journalistic Courtesy" notwithstand-
ing his apology, WIS able, truthful, anu
70 the point.
The subject of "Short Settlements
was deliberately discussed in an essay pre-
pared and read by c. G. Powell, which, as
literary production was unexceptiona-
BILE. and did not fail to impress the listen
er with the idea that its author had very
large experience in the range of the sub
ject discussed.
The members of the Association all
looked we'll and cheerful, feeling no doubt
that the business in which they were en-
gagged, and in which they were mutually
interested, while it might not afford so
ample remuneration as some other pur-
suits, was of such character as to entitle
him to repose with clear con-
science-when there was an opportunity.
We will not omit to state that in the
exercise of the duties Of the office of Pres
ident of the Association, J. B. Stoll did
not fail 10 extend the courtesy shown on
other occasions; and his natural dignity
and good humor--traits of character pos
sessed by him in very high degree-ren-
der him favoriie among the Topographic
cal fraternity.

Business is rather dull here at present.
This part of the county has been severely
scourged by fire. Martin inks house
and barn, also George and Adam Hays,
Geo. F. Trupp's, VIM. Macomber's and
Adam Fishers barns, with hay and farm
ing implements. generally kept in barns,
were destroyed by fire, also Schofield' S
saw mill and a large portion of the fences
and hay in this section, were destroyed.
There were fears entertained in regard to
Bremen, but by the efforts of the citizens
it was saved.

the Westg The best Line is acknowl-
edged to be the c., B. q O., Joined togeth-
er with the B. & H. Railroad by the Iron
Bridge at Burlington, and called the BUR
LINGToN ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to
Omaha connects with the great Pacific
Roads and forms to-day the leading route
to California The Middle Branch, enter
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the state Capital, AMP
will this year be finished to Fort KearneJ
forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Anotherbranch of the b. NJ, diverging
at Red Oak, falls into line running down
the Missouri through St Joe to Kansss
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois, Southern
Iowa. and Missouri, and, by slight di-
vergence, can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns high
cleaning from afarN-its tree-fringed
streams-its rough bluffs and quarries
its corn oceans stretching over the prai-
ries further than eye can reach.
Land buyers will be sure TO- remember
it, for they have friends among the two
thousand who have already bought farms
from Geo S. Harris, the Land Commits
sioner of the B. & NJ r. r. at Burlington

steaders and pre-cmptors who last year
fled claims in the Lincoln land office,

that none could feel it without higher as
pirations. How forcibly were we i'm
pressed with the truth, Chicago will
burn again" So will all the cities of the
earth be consumed. And, again, how
clearly was it brought TO mind that there
