Our Childhood DAYS.

Where are they? Numbered with
the long, never returning past. Yet,
even now, we love to revert to them, to
call back their scenes of pleasure and
pain. They are the brightest part of
life's sky, and now when the clouds are
thick overhead, we still look longingly
back to their gold and crimson light,
and say, "Why cannot your brightness
DER shadow us now?"
But they are gone, and fancy as she
always does, paints the unreturnable in
her fairest hues. Where our hands
plucked the buds of disappointments,
now she hath planted the roses of de-
light. Where our lips drank from
Marah's stream, now she hath the cup
of joy overfiowing. How grIileless
doth she represent the heart? How lit
tie did we know of the great world, of
its sin, temptation and woe? Then, we
were unoppressed by care for the future,
and our spirits were ever joyous and
free. Then, our little griefs were slept
away during the night; but now sleep
dispelleth not our sorrow. Then, we
were not the slaves of avarice and vice,
though these slumbered in our bosom,
and grew and strengthened with us,
yet they were not our master. Our
childhood days! o, We are the dead
days of our lives! Ye stand far away,
clad in your robes of brightness, but ye
no longer cast your light over our path.
But still shall we revert to you, and, in
our hearts, shall enter some of your
olden peace. Yes, ye are gone; but we
will try that again we may become as
little children, that we may enter into
the kingdom of heaven.

Sleep.

A sufficient amount of good refresh
ing sleep is just as necessary to the
health of the body, as proper food and
sunlight. No one can do well without
it; indeed, he cannot do at all, for when
one looses his sleep, he losses his
strength and power of endurance with
it. 1t is sleep that strengthens our
bodies and repairs the waste of our tiss-
ues. Every movement wemake during
the day-every thought, every action
is attended with loss of substance.
Like mill running by steam or by wa
ter, every hours work uses up certain
quantity of motive power. During the
night while We sleep, this is all re-
placed and we awake feeling refreshed
and new, and ready for action again.
No matter how hard person may
work, if he only getsa sufficient amount
of sleep, he will thrive and do well. If
he does not get sleep enough, no matter
how little he works, he will always feel
tired and uncomfortable. Sleep is the
great restorer, the great invigorator. 1t
is poor economy to steal an hour from
refreshing sleep, with the expectation
of making paying thing Of it.

HOW TO GO WEST"

Forty years ago, Illinois was as far west as
most people wished to so and journeys were
made in the legendary Prairie Schooner, bui
in these days of Progress and Improvement,
the word West has come to mean Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado, California and the
Territories, and the Traveller reaches almost
any point therein by splendid Line of Rail-
road.
This Line Of Railroad is the Burlington
Route, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy r. r., from In
dianoplis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw X. r., and
running through BURLINGTON, reaches Omaha,
Lincoln, Nebraska, Nebraska City, st. Joseph,
Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City, Con-
Meeting with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacif-
ic and other Railroads running from those
cities.
Always go BY way of Burlington and you
will be sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question, 'How to go West?' by the
publication of truthful and interesting doc
ument, filed with facts in regard to Time,
Accommodations, rates of Fare,
and other interesting items, and illustrated by
a large map, truthrully showing the whole
West, which they distribute free of charge.
Copies, additional information can be obtained
by addressing, General Passenger Agent,

Hints for February.

As the icy bands of winter still hold
vegetation in check, the farmer Or gar
dener can do but little save to make
preparations for spring work. The
hints for January, if not taken then,
will still be in order. Manure may be
hauled to the field and spread, fruit
trees and vines pruned, harness repaired
and oiled, tools made and repaired and
new ones bought, fences built, wood cut
and hauled for summer use, and very
many things done by way of prepara-
tion, which, if not done now, will him
der the spring and summer operations.
Remember, equally true with the max
i'm 'fDuring winter is the time to pre-
pare for spring." .t... ......

Interesting to Farmers.

A series OF experiments, instituted to
test the average loss in weight by dry
ing, shows that corn loses about one
fifth, and wheat about one-fourteenth
by the process. From this the state
ment is made that farmers will make
more money by selling unshelled corn
in the fall at seventy-five cents than the
following summer at one dollar per
bushel, and that wheat at 81 ,32 in De
cember is equal to sl,50 for the same
wheat in the June following. This es-
innate is made on the basis of interest
at seven percent, and takes no account
of loss from the depredations of vermin.
These facts are worthy of considera-
fion

Arithmetical Question.

A correspondent of the West Chester
Record says the following question is
pnzzling a good many people in his
neighborhood, and quite number of
differing answers have been given it !:
"If 3 cats Kill 3 rats in minutes, how
many cats will kill 100 rats in 100
minutes: 90
The solution Of this question appears
easy at first sight, but perhaps, few
persons will hit on the right answer
Immediately. Here is an opportunity
for our boys and girls to make correct
solution of this example.

COMMUNICATION.
WOOSTER, OHIO,
Feb, 10. 1872

Feb. 10, 1S72.}
MEssRs. EDITORS: The Republicans
are now all busy making great prepa-
rations for the celebration of Washing
toms Birthday which promises to be one
of the liveliest 22nds of February we
have had here for number of years.
The Grand Wigwam, built for the oe-
casion, is very large structure, and the
fact that Gov. NOyes, Ex-GOv. Denni-
son, and Hon. James Monroe will be
present, promises to attract a large
crowd. 1t is expected that some of the
staunch old Republican residents of Sit
tie Holmes will be present.
As ku KluX remarked in a previous
communication, the railroad fever is
still at a pretty high pitch, and with a
prospect of meaning business.
Mr. Curry the Lumber King of this
place, has engaged in the furniture busi-
ness. He manufactures all kinds of
furniture and sells at wholesale and re-
tail. He is offering large stock of
furniture at very low prices for the
next thirty days, at the old room on
Public Square, lately occupied by Mr..
Sheperd, as he intends removing the
same to his new building on East Lib
erty street, near Depot.
Your correspondent noticed by last
weeks REPUBLICAN that Mr.. NV.
Laubach has withdrawn from the paper
and resigned the Post Office in favor OF
Mr.. Cunningham, who has been ap-
pointed and has his commission. The
withdrawal of MIR. L. will no doubt be
by many Of your citizens and
readers of the REPUBLICAN, as he is
highly esteemed wherever known. But
under the management of the firm as it |
now exists the readers need have no
fears, for the REPUBLICAN will continue
to be as ably conducted as it has been
thus far, from the fact that where prof |
its are divided but twice in place of three |
times, it makes the income larger and |
CHapies lhe cuiloIs tHcIcps W utNOte |
more time to hunting up local matters,
which is very necessary.
Business is looking up some here.
Quite number of new houses are to |
be built this summer, principally large
ones.
l will give more interesting items |
next time provided Ku KluX does not.
Yours,
A FRIEND.

Sad Mistake.

What mistake it is for any poor man
to deprive himself and family of good
live newspaper. Some men say they
cannot afford to take paper-this is a
sad mistake and one We know too many
make. If you are poor man, you re-
quire newspaper to cheer you in your
lonely hours and to take the place of
books which cost much more. If you
have no children your wife wants the
paper to interest her in her home when
you are compelled to be absent. If
rich or poor, you need live and inter-
esting paper, and no family should be
without one, or as many as they can
find time to read, and there is no better
season of the year than winter to have
a good newspaper.

Education.

There are but few people in our midst
comparatively who are entirely desti-
tute of q common school education.
This however is not the case in all parts
of the United States, for in many places
it is nearly or as well as altogether neg
lected, and the inhabitants are slowly
declining to semi-barbarous state.
We find that in most all European
nations educ alton is made obligatory, to
which is attributed in great measure
their greatness as nations among ma
tions. 1t is reported that all, and not
only part of the children attend school,
and consequently the proportion of in
habitants who can neither read nor
write, is one in thousand.
/ have said that the number of uned-
ucated people in our midst is compara-
lively small, yet it is much too large,
for the advantages we possess in gaiE-
ing an education. No one can give any
well grounded excuse for not learning.
At least to have common school edu-
cation. do not approve Of the Obliga-
tory system whatever, but l do think
there is too much looseness OH the part
of the parents in sending their children
to school. There is too much freedom
extended to them both in the city and
country.
Too many of those who do not have a
natural taste for learning, are suffered
to have their own way concerning the
matter, and therefore many of them in
time will become loafers of our land,
and even far worse than this.
Parents should not permit their chill
dren to dodge the corner in this matter
If they have any respect for themselves,
their children, and their country. They
may bring up as an excuse that their
children have no natural turn of mind
for learning. That they do not like to
go to school. Neither do they like to
take the doctors bitter medicine when
they are sick, but they must take it,
whether they like to or not, since that
is their only means of recovery. Just
so in this case. They should be COM
PEELED to go when the weather and time
will permit; though they may not learn
much at first, yet they will gather some
ideas that will be beneficial to them in
after life. ii. A. MUMAW.

up her sleeves and walks into the kitch-

and afterwards with cheerfulness and
sunny smiles, puts the house in order

worth thousand parlor beauties, who
for the want of exercise, complain of
ennui and lounge in luxurious ease.

render home paradise, the latter is a

the annoyance of the household go whi-
ming TO the grave. Let her 60.

" Home, Sweet Home. -
If there is a spot upon earth that is
near and dear to us, it is the old ''home-
stead" The poet says:

Ii Iierc is Spot upon earth that Is
near and dear to us, it is the old sshome-
stead" The poet says: a.
'Mid pleasures and palaces II
Though we may roam,
BE it ever so humble,
There is no place like hsme."
The poet here evidently speaks the
truth, although there are great many
young people who do not altogether
agree with him on this point. They
imagine that they do not have liberty
enough at home. They think the
rules of their fathers house too strict
and consequently they wander away
from home as did the .sProdigal Son, -
vainly expecting that all will go well
with them. They promise themselves
much pleasure in the outset, thinking
that many situations of honor and prof
it will be offered to them, whereby they
can live at ease and in splendor.
But when all this fails, and they "be-
come in want" which is most always
the case, they think of their 'ssweet,
sweet home" The return is then i'm
mediately made, and the place of a tser-
want" is then much better than the
place of son was before their depart
IRE from their fathers house.

UNEADING JOYS.
BY D. MoNTCLAvE.

FlE1
Es BY D. MoNTCLAvK.
Tell me where are joys unfading,-
Joys that never die away:
That blight and droop not in an hour,
Like the flowers Of to-day.
Teu me not Of dance and music,
For these give but short delight;
And the heart feels lonely, weary,
Midst the reyelry OF night
Snch as these but mock our sorrows-
Are but Marah to the soul;
Cannot soothe us in our mourning,
Have no power to control.
But aloud the heart still crieth,
And earthly joys cannot calm
The storm that wildly DER il sweep,
For its wounds they have no balm
Alas. vainly, we are seeking
That which was not born for earth;
For joy unfading dwells not here,-
Ii not like our fleeting mirth.
The joy that leaves no pang or pain,
That is uncombined with sin,
j. in yonder eternal world,
Where the holy enter in.
Joy to them far sweeter, purer.
Than this earth can e'er afford,
l. the harmony Of heaven
And the presence Of their Lord.
There with the ransomed they will join
In that "Sew Song'' TO their King;
The flowers shall not faile or die,
For there blooms eternal spring.
Then turn from earth's fleeting pleasure,
Seek not waters in this waste;
Turn thy heart from earth to heaven,
And OF joys fount you shall taste.

How IL Changes.

A gentleman, few days since, on
receiving new 81 greenback from the
bank marked it,. with the design of
watching its course. He found upon in
quiring that in less than forty eight
hours it had passed through the hands
of nearly thirty persons, thus paying
debts to the amount of about $50. In
these times of closeness in the money
market, 1t is surprising how much good
a little money does, and how much
good is done when people pay their
debts.

Increasing In Length.

The days are now increasing in length
at the rate of about one minute and
fifteen seconds per day. This will be
the ratio Of increase until the summer
solstice is reached, June 2lst, when the
days will grow shorter in the same ratio.
The addition of but seventy-five Sec
onds seems but mere trifie, yet the in
crease is very perceptible to all. From
now on the sun returns further north
ward, and its increasing rays are slowly
but steadily forcing winter back, and
will soon drive its clustering winds and
biting frosts over the border.

BASIS OF THE ELECTORAL VorE FOB
PREsIDENT.-Tbe Washington cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
makes the positive assertion that the
electoral vote for the next President will
be cast on the present basis of 243 MEM
bers for the House, instead Of 2S3, as un-
der the new bill. We cannot believe
this to be possible. It is a robbery Of
the West and South. It is in the teeth
Of the former precedents of 1882 and 1852.
It is ridiculous, too, this voting for Pres
ident and Congressman on the same day,
to take their seats at the same time, thf
the one should be elected under the o.
and the other under the new law. T.
new apportionment, when signed by
President, will be law of the land,
all elections afterward must be held
der it, and not under the old law =.
