ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates

The Milwaukee Wisconsin relates
the following:
"Atter the crash '57, when every
body was almost scared to death
and the croakers predicted that the
country had gone to smash, a dry
goods house was opened in this city,
which proceeded on the principle
that in order to reach the boarded
money in the pockets Of the people
and proprietors must sell at very
reasonable prices and advertise very
largely. They worked vigorously
upon this principle. Their brother
merchants who did not advertise pre-
dicted that the new eomers would
be ruined, as they paid too much for
advertising. Nevertheless, tkey per-
sisted. In single year they paid
five hundred dollars in gold to the
Daily Wisconsin, for advertising,
and at the end of seven years they
retired from business with fortune
of one hundred thousand dollars,
while other merchants on the same
street, some of them opposite their
store, had failed"
And the New York Eceaing Post
says:
"We remember similar instance
among our own advertisers in the
panic of 1857. A merchant continu-
ed his advertisement in our column
through the whole period of stagna-
ton, and not withstanding many pre-.
dictions that it wouldn't pay. His
testimony afterwards was that his
sales were steady and his profits sat
istactory, while many a merchant
around him who couldn't afford to
ADVERTISE saw his clerks stand idle
behind the counters.
A financial panic don't mean that
no one has any money. There is
plenty of money in the country, and
those who hoard it are just the ones
to be eager for the bargains which
fall in prices hold ont. But to buy
they must know where to buy, and
the merchant who tells them will re-
| ceiye their cash,

We saa in saverol Jowo

We see in several Iowa papers
statements of men offering to work
for their board. There is rarely ever
an excuse for that in Iowa; there il
none at all now. There is no man
in Iowa who can work at all who
cannot now get chance to work,
and get his board and very good
wages besides. The farmers, Just
now in the midst of corn gathering,
will give any man more than bis
board for his work. But the truth
is that there are men, and too many
men, who would sooner loaf and
starve in town than work and lay up
something in the country. They are
of the class of gentry who have a
horror of "ungenteel labor" but are
never too proud to accept, in time OF
need, of the charity of those who
got their surplus by hard work at
that very labor. These genteel
grasshoppers should not sing away
the little there is left of the working
season. The ants will not be able
to lay up this winter store much
larger than they will need for them
selves and their own families.
There's hard times not far ahead for
those who will loaf in summer even
if they have to beg in winter

vASco NuNEz DE BALBOA.

On a land remote and nameless,
Shone the golden orb of day,
Painting weird fantastic shadows
Over mountains dark and gray,
On the topmost height it reared its
Minarets of shattered stone,
Overlooking hill and valley,
Stood warrior still and lone.
Far below him lay a vision,
Never seen or dreamed before,
OF a beauteous Eden lying
By dim uncertain shore.
FER this region beauty haunted,
Dwelt his raptured soul in awe,
Rapt, transported, half enchanted,
BY wonders which he saw.
Mountains rising to the heavens
From the centre of the land
Valley, bathed in endless summer,
Dreaming In their mystic bald;
Sweeping in majestic granduer
To the limits of the sky,
Lay these western realms of Thule,
Newly opened to his eye.
Stately palms that swayed and battled
With the music breathing wind;
Silver pines that fringed the SUBMITS
OF the craggy peaks behind,
In the red and haZy sunlight,
Waving dimly, ftfully,
Tossed their plumes in verdant billows
Ger visionary sea.
Through arroyos dark and dismal,
Poured the torrents foaming tide,
Winding in a train of silver
Down the mountains massive side.
In the misty realms to westward,
Lay golden tinted streak,
Where the glowing sunlight left its
Image on the oceans cheek.
AS his burning glances lighted
On that lone mysterious sea,
Overcome by strange emotions,
To the earth he bent his knee;
While the languid breeze that waited
Summer odors on the air,
Scared unto the gates of heaven
Fre1ghted with a thankful prayer.
Fer his prisons were ended,
War-like forms around him stood,
Gazing with ecstatic rapture,
On that radiant solitude
While their fancies vainly questioned,
In voice without tone,
OF the scenes that lay before them
Regions hitherto unknown.
Were these realms blest elysium
Where the soul of man might rest,
While the peaceful waves of Lethe
Pulsed forever in his breast?
And that dim and distant ocean
Did its waters far Outpour,
Into regions vast and formless,
Limitless, without q shore?
This and more they stood divining
OF that land without a name,
While their dreams revealed morrow
That should laurel them with fame.
WeariIy the sad Pacific,
Beating On its rocky shore,
For the warrior chief Balboa
Chants dirge forevermore.

OWNERSHIP OF NEWSPAPERS.

We are indebted to the Gate
City for the following words on the
relation of newspapers to candidates
and campaigns, uttered in reply to a
letter from a defeated candidate who
complained that the paper had not
treated him as he had right to ex-
pect:
There seems to be an idea in the
minds of some that political parties
own their papers they are bound to
become the special champions of
every man who is nominated by the
party and whatever their private
opinions OF candidate may be, they
must P uff, praise, blow and strike for
him from the day of nomination to
the election. Now we would rather
be dog and bay to the moon than
be such an editor. Our notion about
this is that the Gate City is as much
the private property and business of
Its owners as any other business
whatever. The paper belongs to J.
B. Howell and S. M. Clark and to
nobody else. 1t is Republican be-
cause we are Republicans and make
it reflect our own sentiments. 1t
puts up the Republican ticket and
supports the Republican candidates
because we choose that it shall. We
buy the Offices materials and pay for
them: we pay its running expenses:
we pay its taxes and insurance the
parry does not de this the candidate
don't do it we do it ourselves. Now
can anybody tell why paper is not
as much our private property as any
kind of property would be? Mr..
Woodman says he has paid us SO
mnch money. In consideration for
that we have sent him so many
numbers of the Gate City. He
bought it and paid for it like any 9TH
er merchandise. If he didn't like it, it
was his privilege to refuse TO buy it.
We stand in relations to our patrons
just as does any other dealer. We
furnish a certain commodity for sale,
aud those who want it buy it !: those
who don't want it don't buy it. And
shooo WIZ ouJ IL uoHI puL US uuueT
one bit more obligation to them than
if we were selling them coffee, flour
or dry goods. The man who is a
candidate has no more claim upon us
than man who is not candidate.
If we don't choose to put up his name
in our paper as candidate, that is
entirely our own affair. If we don't
choose to support him that is our own
affair. If we don't think well enough
of man to puff and praise him on
his own account personally we shall
not do it because he happens to be
the nominee of our party. Ifthis
paper belongs to the party or party
candidates, then we should like for
them to come forward and foot run.
ming expenses. As long as we have
to meet these expenses ourselves we
shall conclude that this paper is the
private property of its proprietors,
and we shall manage it just as we
please at all times.

Hopes Northern Star,

The slave when he burst his bonds
and began his journey toward the
North knew that the north star point
ed out the direction he was to pursue,
but the north star did not tell him
how many rivers there were to cross,
or how many mountains there were
to get over it is only told him that
was the way, and so the revelation
tell men the way; but they have got
to overcome the difficulty themselves.
The outlet and consolation of the
world is to be found in the hope of
future. If men were simply like the
maple leaves, that shake in the sum-
mer wind and drink their little drops
of moisture, turn to scarlet in the
autumn, and then die; it man was
that and death annihilation, how
wretched creature he would be.

1t is good thing to be a doctor.

happened to Mr.. jeff Steele, some
fifteen miles from Pueblo, up the
Fontain. He was thrown from his
carriage, near the residence of Mr..
Royce, to whose house he was taken
in state of apparent insensibility.
An aged physician, living little
way up the creek, was Immediately
sent for, who came post haste to the
aid of the sufferer. After feeling OF
the young mans pulse, and heaviEg
three or tour long drawn sighs, the
doctor turned to Miss Alice, the
daughter of Mr.. Royce, and inquir-

"Well, sad the doctor, "get two

yolks, and beat them up thoroughly
in different vessels"
Alice, aided by her little brother,
set about the task with alacrity, which
she soon accomplished, full of faith
that the sufferer was soon to be re.
leaved from his pains aud brought
to his senses.
"Now, DOCTOR" said Alice, "your
eggs are ready; what next?"
"Thanks" said the doctor shave

"Now get tumbler, please" said
the doctor.
The young people eyed the doctor
closely, wondering what miracle he
was about to perform with the eggs
and wine. Presently the doctor took

turned into it first the yolks and then
the whites of the eggs, took tea.

ed it to the bottom.
Setting the tumbler on the table,
the doctor smacked his lips couple

"Where is Lutte ?" he said show

that she had not been there to gree
him on his arrival.
"She's in her room putting an ex

She will be here in a moment" re
piled Mrs. Bently.
AS she left the parlor and passed
through the hall, Lutte came trip

"Why Lutte Haines, are you era

She wore the same costume il
which she had gone to market thu
day before. Upon one hand she
wore one of the mittens which Mrs
Bently had urged her to wear upor
the occasion referred TO.
Mrs. Bently offered no further op
position, and led the way to the par
lor, followed by Lutte, whom she in
troduced to the party assembled.
A portion of them looked with
surprise upon the costume of Lutte,
and others noticed only the rare
beauty of her face.
She greeted them all with queen.

"Mr. Lancaster, think I promis,
ed, at our last meeting that when
next We should meet again, I would
exchange this ring for the mate OF

gemed circlet from her finger.
He started to his feet.
"Great Heavens - he cried, t1rn
ing pale, "what does this mean ?''
cit means sir, that am the per.
son you met in the low restaurant
on-street, and whom you 80

this dress and take some things to
town for auntie, as uncle was away,
and her hired man sick. l shall al
ways thank my lucky star that l was
led to do SO, for thereby learned

beautiful eyes flashing looks of with
erlng scorn and contempt upon him.
"Lutie, there is some mistake

"Say no more, sir, | am not mista-

me, aye, you even dared to lay vio-

ring, take it. l never wish to meet
again." and she flung the bauble at
his feet, and swept from the room.
When she returned in short time
in her own becoming attire, and
looking regally beautiful, the seat
which Leon Lancaster had occupied
was vacant.
She entered with zest into the fes
tivities of the occasion, and if there
was one heart amid that party which
throbbed with JOY and thanksgiving,
it was the heart or Lutte Halnes, fol
