The jubilee celebration of the opening Of
the above vastly important roads to the
whole Northwest and especially to North
ern Wisconsin aud Minnesota, took place
at St. Paul on Wednesday last Six hun
dred and fifty guests marked the occasion,
by partaking of splendid banquet at the
Metropolitan in that city, and hearing able
and interesting addresses from noted rail
way men, military dignitaries, and the legal
and editorial fraternity. We regret that
want of space prevents our giving extracts
which we had prepared from some of the
speeches made by distinguished characters,
and can only present to our readers the fol-
lowing from the St. Paul Press in relation
to the events occasioning the celebration.
Some Of the most significant and important strides
in the railroad development of the Northwest was eel
ebraed last evening the Metropolitan banquet in
honor of the opening Of the West Wisconsin railroad,
connecting St. Paul by new direct outlet with Mil
Waukee and Chicag0-of the North Wisconsin, in op-
Grafton for twenty miles and destined connect the
railroad system centering u ST. Paul with Bayfield,
and SuperiOr-and of the st. Paul, Saltwater and
Tay0rs Falls railroad, completed as far as Saltwater,
and destined to reach up the St Croix Nalley to an
other connection with the lakes
These three, in fact when completed, four roads
though coming into ST. Paul trunk line, and
parting these several ways at Lake St.
Croix, among the most important aduncts Of our
great railroad SYSTEM furnishing they do meet
ing outlet the great cities of Lake Michigan for the
products of Minnesota and West Wisconsin, and two
competing outlets for Minnesota and Wisconsin to
Lake Superior, and placing the vas. lumber regions
and iron ranges of Northern Wisconsin in direct
municaton with the cities and prairie regions of Min
direct outlet upon the railroads cenreng at st. Paul
of the lumber business of the st CrOiX whose
emporium is Saltwater. What celebrated last
night in fact the opening of system of railroads.
For all these reasons, repeat event of greater
significance to the material interests of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, has occurred in the railroad history of
these States than that which celebrated last
night and which locks together the States in new
and more intimate aud fraternal bonds of union.

HOW TO GO WEST"

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far west a

in these days of Progress and Improvement,
the word West has come to mean Iowa, Ne

Territories, and the Traveller reaches almos
any point therein by splendid Line of Rail

Advice TO Young Men.

Young men, get married; you viii
never be worth last years robin,
nest until you do. The fruits of dis.
obedience are misery and misfortune
and you will never be truly happy
while living in disobedience to God;
commandment TO our first parents in
the Garden Remember that there are
seventy-five thousand more marriage
able ladies in the United States than
gentleman, and 100000 more females
than males. Imagine yourself at the
bar of judgment with 1900 spinsters
with foothiess jaws and tongues sharp
ened on the grindstone Of temper, and
honcd on the strap of unrequited affec-
ton, rs your accusers; your chance for
eternal bliss would not be very fatter-
ing And furthermore, remember that
unperformed duties always come home
to roost, so you will be likely to 60
through the world with holes in the
heels of your stockings, and your ell
bows out, and finally die unregretted
and thus soon be forgotten.

Keep il to Yourself.

You have trouble; your feelings are
injured, your husband is unkind, youI
wife frets, your home is not pleasant,
your brethren do not treat you just
right, and things in general move un-
pleasantly. .-..
Well, what of it: Keep it to your
self. A smolderins fire can be found
and extinguished: but when the Goals
are scattered who can pick them up?
Firebrands when together can be trod-
den under foot, but when tied to the
tails of Samson's foxes, it is difficult TO
tell where they will burn.t gf-.ss-l- % &
Bury your sorrow. The place for sad
and disgusting things is under ground.
A sore finger is not improved by pulling
off the rag, and sticking it in every
body's face; tie it up and let it alone: f:
it will get well itself sooner than you
can cure it. Charity covereth a null
titude of sins. Things thus covered are
often cured without a scar; but when
they are once published and confided to
meddling friends, there is no end to the
trouble they may cause.
Keep it to yourself. Troubles are
transient, and when sorrow is healed
and past, what comfort it is to say,
"No one ever knew it until it was all
over with ~ ss-...a.

How Easy it is to be SMIndIed.

The number and kind of swindles and
confidence games practiced by sharpers,
are calculated TO deceive the most wary
and mepeople are taken in every new
humbug that comes along. They realize
that they have been humbugged very
soon after the operation, but forget all
about it and fall a prey to the very next
smooth-tongued swindler they happen
to meet. Let us illustr ate this by lit
tie story founded ON fact: A few years
ago an honest old farmer invested large
ly in willow hedge plants, and had long
rows of them set out around his fields.
Now, willow hedges proved to be a first
class swindle, but our old friend took it
calmly. Any one, he reasoned, might
be caught once, but it was only & fool
who got bit the second time. Not long
afterwards there was rage for fine
wool sheep, and bucks of that breed
were in demand. One day 4 sheep-ped-
dler came around with nice looking
fine-wool bucks, oily and colored, and
our old friend bought one, paying a
hundred dollars. But the first storm
that buck Awcathered just washed the
backing off and showed it to be COM
mon scrub Sheep instead of blooded
fine-wool breeder. Then that old far
mer swore; he'd be gauldarned if he'd
ever be caught again; his eye teeth
were cutnow, sure. Not very long ago
some cloth peddlers called on him, and
he gave them his note for $50 and took
Il bundle of cloth. They. couldn't
swindle him. He was up TO snuff.
He had bargain. He put a piece
OF cloth, warranted to make a full
suit, into a satchel, and with his
boy went TO tailor's to have it cut.
The tailor shook the stuff, got broom
and wate-basket to sweep up the shod-
dy that sifted from it, and after meas
uring the cloth Il dozen or so times, in
formed the farmer that it would cut out
two vests and half pair of brecches,
or half a coat and a vest one leg of a
small pair of breeches-which would
he have? Our honest old friend saw
through it all in a moment, but he only
said, "Gimme that cloth, and stuffed it
back into the carpet-sack. HWhy IA
ther," said the boy, "better have it cut
and made into something or other'' 81
know what to do with it," he replied,
.'I'll take that cloth home and make
q blanket for that Buck and let him
browse the willowsr-

fFEI u
Early Hours,

!. As we grow older we learn wisdom
in this matter. The gray-haired parent
whose dancing days arcover, and whose
limbs are not elastic, is glad to hasten
bedtime, and to leave his daughters tc
their foolish joy in late hours. He
would lengthen his nights in spite of his
difficulty in sleeping. Very few per-
sons over sixty years old care to sit up
after eleven o'clock in the evening, and
would rather be invisible at an earlier
hour. Old age may not need more sleep
than youth, but it is more covetous of
sleep, and sooner disguised with the
days excitement. ''Go to bed early is
the advice which the elders give to the
younger race, all the more emphatic as
they remember their own sins of this
kind in the former years, and wonder
that they could have taken such need
less risks in those night frolics. That
is the advice, too of the medical Journals
and men. Was there ever wise phy-
sician who would counsel his patients
to sit up until midnight as rule, or
even as frequent exception? The
wisdom in this matter, nevertheless, is
of the old Kind that comes by expert
ence, and the sage warning of the elders
is oftenest unheeded.
