OLD PREIUDICES ARE DYING OUT

that invalids weakened by disease can
be relieved by prostrating them with de-
structive drugs, is no longer entertained
except by monomaniacs Ever since the
introduction of DR.. sWalker's Vinegar

regulating and invigorating properties are
all-suf6cient for the cure of chronic indi-

Our S@ngerb1nd here is receiving
quite novel and interesting additions late
ly, by Americans-many young ladies'
and several gentlemen having been pro-
posed and some Of them already accepted
as members of this most prriseworthy
society-The qualifications being alike,
it is only the difference in language,
which may cause difficulty, not too great,
however, but that it can be overcome;
the main language to be properly ex-
pressed-M usic-being the same, in fact
the only atniversal language of the world
We hope that this union of nationalities
will prove of great mutual profit, that
the productions of the great masters will
become known and appreciated more
and more, and that our noble Musical
Society will increase its usefulness and
fine abilities under the able and indefati-
gable leadership of Prof. Bieling, until

Our SHIPYARDs.- paid a short
visit to the yard of Hanson & Skove last
Saturday, and found it as full of business
as bee hive. There are between 60
and IS mechanics IN constant employment
The new steam saw mill, owned and just
erected by that enterprising firm, is do
ing very good and profitable work. The
logs are first sawed up into planks at
Jones MILL now run by Ira P Smith
These plaaks are then marked out and
sawed into any desired shape, by the
new patent saw ; thus doing away entire
ly with whip-sawing, land saving, not only
considerable labor, but also a great deal
of timber. 1t is really pleasure to wit
ness the successful Efforts off this enter
prising firm. They have had more offers
for building vessels than they could pos
sibly accept. The two sehooners now on
the stocks, are progressing rapidly; one
of which is to be launched as soon as the
river is clear of ice They have also con-
tracted, as We have stated before, for a
large vessel of about 10000 bushels Ca
pacity.
The steamboat yard of the Goodrich
Transportation Company, contains the
propeller Oconto, nearly ready for service.
The steamer Manitolroc being newly
painted and thoroughly overhauled prom
Uses to come out in the spring in an i'm
proved condition. A new propeller will
be put on the stocks as soon as the Ocoato
is launched. 1t has not yet been decided.
as we understand, what is to be done
with the propeller Sly Lark.
At the shipyard of Peter Larson, we
find under construction very large and
handsome modelled schooner for Mr..
Slauson, of Racine. She is being built
of the best timber, and none but the best
work are employed. Mr.. Larson
is new beginner whose energy and per
severance we hope viii be duly rewarded
With the fullest success.

DEAR SIR Enclosed you will find a
letter which I wish you would publish in
the next issue Of your paper. This man
Olmsted, fer the single reason therein
spoken of, has seen fit to assail our dra-
matte company. All who attended our
entertainments while there know that
this man, without any real provocation,
has maligned US most grossly; and this
is the only method we have of getting
satisfaction That he is a liar all know !;
that he is coward is evident; for while
the company was there his filthy paper
never said one word and another thing
this man, nor any one in his Office, was
ever near the hall during our season
And hence I consider him a thief, q
scoundrel and liar.
Hoping the enclosed will be accepted

TWILIGHT MUSINGS ON THE PAST

The sun is slowly sinking behind the
western hills, and now glorious crimson
and purple tinted clouds seem to rest
quietly on the tops of the far off trees,
while a calm and mellow light in stealing
over all the earth.
sit idly by the window, musing and
dreaming oe loved and absent ones whom
perhaps, [ shall see no more on earth.
Thoughts or the dim and shadowy Past
come crowding fast before me. Memory
receives them in all their JOY and beauty
until fancy that some bright picture of
bygone days is reality. Memory brings
to me happy hours [ have spent, and |
fancy that l hear again some voice and
see some familiar face and as attempt
to grasp the hand of some dear friend or
schoolmate, the bright picture fades
away, and | find that [ am still musing
in the present and dreaming.
Still. there is no hope of recalling the
Past, for the Future will not turn the
sands in the glass Of time. Oh that we
could bat pursue the book of Fate
and thereby see what is in store for US :;
but we can not tell what a day may bring
forth. 1t is only when the Future: like q
cloud of tremendous size, lowers over our
heads. that we turn from the Past and
contemplate duties which are pressing
closely upon us, unmindful uf the real
flight of time, how it steals upon us IN
awares eacl little moment, closely Sue
ceeded by mother, until days, weeks,
months and even years, are made up of
such small Particles as these.
To the aged man, toiling on, though
fast nearing the brink of Eternity, the
dreams of his youth come back and
he thinks he hears in his dreams the low
lisping of the summer rain dropping upon
the ripened grain, or the voices Of some
old friend, and with an eager voice he
cries ;-'Visions Of my childhood, stay
Oh stay, ye are wild, yet Oh how
sweet. But O distant voice seems to
echo: ut cannot be, old man, they
like you-must pass away" s..
The burdened Future comes silent, but
Oh how swift, and as moment on mo-
ment presses 'sand on sand" through
the glass. Divinity enshrined, although
IS dark, is no more mysterious than that
awful, awful time to come. LIES tolls
are many,its hardships many, our Hves are
but passing gusts and zoe soon. too. will pass
away among the rest of earths fading
treasures. With Longfellow we can say,
and truly say
"Trust no Future, how e'er plessantl
Let the dead Past bury its dsadl
Act-act, in the living Present.
Heart within, and God DER head
The lives of great men, all remind
We can make lives sublime,
And departing leave behind US,
Footprints on the sands of Time"
