they have "no luck" and others pros
perity exceed theirs they whine be-
cause some friends have died and they
are still living; they whine because
they have aches and pains, and they
have aches and pains because they
whine, and they whine no one can tell
why. Now we would like to say word
to these whining persons. First, stop
whining-it is ofno use, this everlasting
complaining, fretting, fault finding and
whining. Why, you are the most de-
luded set of creatures that ever lived

pretty much as you make it? You can
make it bright and sunshiny, or you
can make it dark and shadOwy. This
life is only meant to discipline us-to fit
us for higher and purer state of being.

what amount of damages they are res

READERS of the COLUMBIAN may
remember the robbery of Mr.. Louis
Bernhard's store on the 9TH of January
last, when a box of watches was taken.
On Friday morning last Mr.. Bernhard
found on the porch of his dwelling
house the box containing the watches,
with the exception of three, and those
were not the most valuable The box
had evidently been in the woods, as
pieces of pine were found inside. No
clue has yet been found to the thief,
who has become alarmed and returned
the watches to prevent detection.

seriously annoying, many wells and

fall of rain or a continuous thaw is ne.
cessary to fill Up our depleted water

THE present seems to be the most
dangerous season for railroad travelling.
Accidents are reported from all parts
of the country, and we do not open a
paper but what chronicles one in its
vicinity. Most Of them are laid to the
account of broken rails, caused by the
cold and changeable weather. In the
present condition of our railroad sys.
tenn, the utmost precautions appear to
be unable to prevent such accidents
from happening, and generally, too,
when they are least expected by the
railroad officers.

Ir Is popularity supposed that there

are influenced by belief in lucky and
unlucky days, good and bad omens,
etc. Dream books are still bought and
read by vast numbers ofpeople through
out the land, and, what is worse, arc
believed in. Mankind is naturally
prone to prying into the mysterious anG
dabbling in the muddy waters of the

by purchasing of the strolling pedlers
of the 'cheap John" persuasion. Moth

nine cases out of ten the goods thus
