Sixteenth Annual c Commencement.

Commencement week at Mt. Ver-
non has been truly said to be "the
week for which all other weeks were
made For the benefit OF the friends
and patrons of Cornell in Tama Co,
we send you this sketch.
The commencement exercises
proper began OH Sunday morning,
June l6. Before q crowded audi
encc President King delivered his
Baccalaureate address, his theme
Heart Culture and Heart Power" T"
The sermon was masterly effort,
and was characterized by deep
searching thought and earnestness.-
HIS last words to the graduating
class will not soon be forgotten.
AT p. M., the annual sermon
was delivered by Rev. c. r. Pome-
roy, of Iowa City, from the text
II write unto you young men be.
cause ye are strong" A good dis.
course and full of instruction.
The examinations commenced on
Monday morning at s A. NJ. The
examining committee consisted OF
Rev. c. II. Pomeroy, Of Iowa City,
Rev. Il. N. Earhart, oi Toledo, Rev.
G. w. Brlndcll, of Vinton, Rev. w.
=. Watkins, of West Union, and
Rev. G. l.. Garrison, of Postyllle.
We are assured by the committee
that the examinations showed assid-
uous application on the part of the
students and excellent supervision on
the part Of the Faculty.
On Monday evening we were treat.
cd to musical entertainment given
under the direc,lon OF Miss NJ. r.
Butler, teacher OF instrumental mu
sic. We decline passing an opinion

ed by judges decided success.
| On Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 T
NJ, Rev. Emory Miller, Of Daven
port, delivered an address before tho
Esthesian Society subject" The
Formula of q Perfect Character. -
Mr.. Miller is yet young man, but
even now he has few equals as :
thinker. We predict for him sue
cesstul future. His address showed
q degree OF thought and discrimlna

and l need only to say that he re
tlected credit on himself on this oc
casion. His lecture was critlsizel
by some as an advertisement of hi

The dense Ignorance Of the rudi-
ments of political science evinced by
some newspaper writers is something
which calls for the virtuous IaDors OF
tho philanthropist to disdel. We
take up country exchange and find
it implicitly swallowing and giving
currency to the thousand times cx-
posed untruth that the duties on ar
tic,es manufactured among ourselves
increases the price of both the i'm
ported and home produced article
by Just the amount Of tho duty
Whereas it IS known to every one
who has taken the trouble to exam
inc the matter that a reduction OF
duty on such articles is often follow
ed by an enhancement of their price.
1t is but a year or two since J. Ed
car Thompson, President OF the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and
some thirty other railroad presidents
and vice. presidents, united in men,
orial to Congress showing that the
erection of works for the manutac.
ture of steel rails in this country bad
reduced their price nearly one halt.
AS users of steel rails they represent
ed that they did not want to be de
pendant on the foreign supply. They
therefore asked for specific duty on
that article. And within briefer
period OF time the London Tines has
distinctly acknowledged that the
United States is supplanting Birm.
incham in the foreign markets, and
even in the English colonies, IN the
articles of edged tools, agricultural
implements and similar manufactures.
1t says that although the price OF Ia
Dor is higher here that we have been
enabled to do this by the greater per
fection of our workmanship. Why
should we, under the specious name
OF "revcnue reform, :" aim to strike
down a system which is not only
supplying our home dcinsnd cheaper
than it would be supplied from tor
elsn sources alone, but it is also en-
a bling US to drive English m,nufac-
turers out of their own markets =
The writer's in the Chicago Post and
other metropolitan sheets who habit.
ually peddlc the old stale talsehood
that the price of the article is always
enhanced to the fall amount OF the
duty, doubtless know better. They
have reasons-to them sufficient-for
asserting it. But our country week
" editors some of them seem really
to believe it. A very moderate in
| vestigation Of tacts-in lieu OF plaus-
ible assumptions-would suffice to
upset that doctrine wholly.-lBel

The Other World.
by MRS. II. D. STOWE.


1t lies aroynd us like q cloud
a world we do not SEQ;
Yet the sweet closing Of an eye
May bring us there to be.
lis gentle breezes fan our check,
Amid our worldly cares;
It's gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts o round us throb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred;
And palpitates the vail between
With breathings almost heard.
And in the hush Of rest they bring
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how weet q pass
The hour CT death may be.
Toclese hccyc and close the ear.
Wrapped in trance of bliss.
And gently laid in loving arms,

Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where We are,
To feel all evi! sink away,
All sorrow and oil care.
Sweet souls around us watch us still,
Pass nearer 10 our eide;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between us be as naught-,
A dried aud vanished stream;
Your JOY be the reality,
Our suffering like the dream.

The Pail Mall Ga=stfs (London)
says: "Perhaps one of the chief rea-
sons why there is SO much intemper-
ance IN this country, is to be found
in the difficulty of obtaining any
good fruit at a reasonable price.--
How small percentage ofthe inhab-
itants of London have ever tasted a
peach, for instance! Grapes are a
luxury only within tho reach OF th,
wealthy, and except sour apples and
oranges, the poorer classes have no
fruit which they may call their own.

An old work published in Londo

An old work published in London
in 1896, thus talks about the straw
berry "The strawberrie is account
ed among those hearbs that grow in
the fields of their owne aecorde.-
And the Berries be SO much eaten at
all mems tables in the sommer for
the pleasantness of them, which tor a
more delight in eating they dresse
with wine and sugar. The rehearsal
of the fame of this hearb needeth
not, seeing the same is known to all
persons. And it aptly groweth in
shadowcy places and rather under
the shadowe of other hearbes than
alone. And the plantes set in gar
dcns will grow unto the bigness of a
mulberry, if the earth before in the
beds be we'll dressed, and diligently
tended of the gardener. But the
hearbe itself continueth not above a

The following Awfully SOLEMN
FACTS wo suppose have reference to
the
Union store.
Come, Josie and Dolly and Thomas and John
List to my story. sit down, every one,
I'm strongly impressed. and believe it is true,
Tho road to success is opened to you.
In the Town of Toledo, one of their stores
Is packed full Of goods, between the two
floors,
Excepting, indeed, small passage way
Which is crowded with buyers, every fine
day.
The goods arc brand new, were recently
bought,
The patterns arc there that Josie has sought;
And many fine styles with Dolly's own name,
Which fashion has famed to very high fame
Ofgoods more substantial, they have not
few
Just suiting the taste of each one Of you.
The styles are complete, most perfect they
say,
And many wise people are vending that
way.
The clothing is fine, will fit to- t.
Somo heavy and strong, some light iligree,
Adapted, indeed, to all kinds Of weather,
And all kinds of crowds, wherever they
gather.
Their shoes and their boots are light and
are strong,
And really It's said they II last one too long;
Ee that as it may, Id advise you to try
Some Of their stock, whenever you buy.
Of groceries, too, they have full line,
Assortment complete, and stock very fine.
Their sugars, indeed, are so nice and SO light,
That many prefer the brown to the white.
Their prices Tn told are down several feet
Below all others with whom they compete.
The truth Of all this we shortly must know,
SO hitch up the team and of we will 60.
Start up the Dobbins, and drive on race
For Wieting s Brothers, that is the place,
Well find it, I'm sure, Hurrah and Hurrah!
Eureka! Eureka!! Gloria Ercelsia!A
At this stage of the game the poet
was SO excited with the nice and
cheap goods he and his family saw
and bought at the UNION STORE,
that his muse went into fit Of tiut-
teration from which she is not ex-
pccted to recover for several days,
sufficiently to speak lie: piece.

clangor of Christmas bells came in
to the room and filed it, while for
the second time I told the wondrous
story Of Bethlehem's Babe and Cal
Vary's Grucified in the splendid man

He heard it through, my dying
darling, and in the fair, rose-daWn Of
Christmas morning lifted his head
and smiled on the anxious faces bent
upon him, then turning to me said

PLAIN LANGUAGE BY TRUTH
Full JANE. q.

PLAIN LANGUAGE BY TRUTH
Full JANE.
Which wish to repeat.
And my langue is plain,
That in ways of deceit,
And in tricks that are vain,
The "Girl Of the Period" is lively;
Which the same would rise to explain.
Lily White was her name,
And I need not deny,
In regard to the same,
What that name might imply;
But her cheeks were provokingIy rosy,
And bewitchingly penciled her eye.
Twas in Lent, third week,
Which it might be inferred,
Lily White was likewise;
Yet she humbugged Johannes, my lover,
In way shall always despise.
Which we had a small game
Called by some hide and seek;
Twas Irritation. The same
Sne called sinful and weak;
But she smiled as she ogled Johannes,
With smile that was sanity and meek.
Yet the gams advanced,
In way detest,
And my sorrow enhanced
At the state of Johns vest,
Which heaved like the wave of the ocean,
When the same had turbulent breast.
But tricks that are played
By that Girl Of the P,
And the progress she made
Was alarming to see,
Till she twirled on her left hand forefnger
What Johannes had promised to me.
Then looked up at John,
But he looked not at me;
And I rose with groan
And said, What do 1 see?
We are ruined by harmless Irritation,
And 1 went for the Girl of the P.
In the scene that ensued
John, amazed, did not spaak;
For the floor was bestrewed
In the height of my pique,
With the cards Lily White had been playing
In the game she thought sinful and weak
Of those exquisite charms
laid bare in trice
Paddings,' 'paniers' and forms
Ofmost cunning device;
And there fell with her tresses 80 airy
What is frequent in hair-rats and mice.
Which is why repeat,
And my language is plain,
That in ways of deceit
And tricks that are vain,
The Girl or the Period is lively,
Which the same am free to maintain.

A WORD TN REGARD
TO THE
Sewing Machine Business.

THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the
greatest improvements of the age, and at this
day and age of the world every family must
and will have one. This fact appears to be
perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine
Companies, consequently every company is
making every effort in their power to put
their machines forward, and to make sales as
rapidly as possible. They employ every per-
son they can get, and three-fourths Of those
employed are not fit for the business, conse-
quently the country is now overrun with men
and boys representing themselves as Sewing
Machine Agents,and everyone claimingto have
the best machine, when, in fact, they know
nothing ebout machines, consequently the
business has become a nuisance-it is over
done and overrun with unprincipled agents,
and almost every farmer breads to see one
stop at his gate.
But to lay all prejudice aside, the New VIII
son is the only First-class Machine in America
that is sold at a reasonable price; price withs
in the reach of every family. The New Will
son stands to-day at the head as being the best,
the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most
durable, and by far the cheapest The Wilson
now costs $500 more to manufacture than any
other machine in America, and is sold for
$25.00 less than any other irst-class machine.
This simply because it is not in the "Com-
bination." This machine is sold for lust what
it lis worth, while all others are sold from
$25.OO to $1,000 more than they are worth.
The undersigned has been selling the VIII
son for one year at his Grocery and Crockery
Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred
Machines, and nearly all have been sold in
Sanduslzy County, and have never yet had
an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo-
pie to buy. Every machine has been ordered.
This, 1 think, is the largest sale that has ever
been made IN the county. This fact of itself
is certainly sufficient evidence that the ma
chine is good one. All other companies have
drummed and bored the people nearly to
death to sell their machines, and in yery many
instances people have bought simply to get nd
of the agent Now, we claim that the proper
way, and the only way, to buy machine, is to
60 town and see and try all the machines and
select for yourself machine in the same
way that you buy dress, or a set of dishes,
or dollars worth OF sugar. There are now
some six or eight different kinds of Sewing
Machines represented in this city, try them
all, select for yourself, and do not be hum
bugged by agents, and nine out of every ten
viii buy the Wilson. p, CLOSE,
