No Time for Swearing.

No, sir, there isn't time for all things.
No law, human or divine, ever set apart a
time for swearing, A profane expression
10 a sin and an abomination, utter it when
and where you will. AS for ladies, yea,
III grant you it is well to be and act our
best in their presence. We cannot be too
true, too pure, too honorable, If We want to
stand upright before good woman or good
girl--yes, while I'm about it I'll add, nor
before little mite Of girl-baby. know
Of one other before whom we ought to be
just as particular, If not more so. When
he is not around, my boys, you can safely
do just about as you please. But when
you're in his presence-and, TO my think.

much all the time--have care Dom

The Marriages of Great Men.

Byron married Miss Millbank to get
money to pay bis debts. 1t turned out
bad shift.
Milton married the daughter Of coun.
try squire, but lived with her but short
time. He was an austere, exacting, liter
ary reclusc, while she was rosy, romping
country lass that could not endure the re.
straint imposed upon her---so they scpa-
rated. Subsequently, however, she re-
turned, and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were
cousins, and about the only example in the
long line of English monarcbs wherein
the marital VOWS we're sacrcdly observed
and sincere affection existed.
Shakespeare loved aud welded farm.
er's daughter. She was faithful to her
VOWS, but VIC could hardly say the same
of the great bard himself. Like most Of
the great poets, he showed too little dis.
elimination in bestowing his affections on
the other sex.
Washington married a woman with two
children. It is enough TO say that she was
worthy Of him, aud they lived together as
married folks should--in perfect harmony.
John Adams married tho daughter Of
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father OBJ.
jectod on account Of Johns being lawyer
he had bad opinion Of the morals Of the

John Howard, the great pbilanthropist,
married his nurse. She was altogether be-
meath him in social life aud intellectual
capicity, and besides this was SO years

they were married aud ived horply to-
gether until she died, which occurred Two
years aiterward
Peter the Great, of Russia. married a
peasant girl. She made an excellent wife
and a sagacious empress.
Humboldt married a poor girl because
he loved her OF course they were happy.
1t is not generally known that Andrew
jackson married lady whose husband was
still living. She was an uneducated but
amiable woman, and was most devoutedly
attached to the old warrior and statesman
John G. Calhoun married bis cousin,

Singing Helen.

" mover would he weary,

There right before my Saviour
SO glorious and 80 bright,

And praise Him day aud night

little girl, who would be unhappy il she
had to wear such faded old dress. On
her arm was basket so heavy that it drew
her little shoulder almost out of place to
carry it.
But bark she it was, for the same clear
voice began again;
This world is full Of trouble
And Trial too, they say
but will follow Jesus
All the way
and by that time she was too far away
for me to catch the words, though heard
the music even after she was out Of sight.
That was early this morning. Since then

Why, the basket never seems so heavy
when I'm singing, and the walk isn't half
so long, but then | don't always sing out

What do you mean by singing to your.
self?" asked.
Why, just thinking over the words, be.

folks to have little girl singing all the

See if singing will not make your work
easier. You know you need not always
sing out loud Think Of the sweet words
of the little hymns you have learned, and
if your heart is full Of glad, happy music
your lives will be full Of sunshine. A
sunny life will make all your friends happy,
and so in doing good to others you too may
be following Jesus all the Child's

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1873-10-31

\ newspaper correspondent who
has been among the Shakers at Lee
banon, Ohio, states that in that set
Element there was over 25 per cent
more females than males, and only
about twenty-five or thirty children
under fifteen years old, while there
arc nearly fifty persons who are
over sixty. Of the young people
who are taken and raised by the
society, less than one-tenth, proba-
bly, not one in twenty, remain with
them, after they are old enough to
shift for themselves; but the girls
stay more frequently than the boys,
and grow into placid-faced, but, on
the whole, with few exceptions, un-
attractive-looking women. They
may be very excellent women, how
ever, and entirely suited to the sort
Of life which they have elected to
lead. and certainly if we felt it to
be christian duty to live Il celibate
life-as these people profess to do
we have never seen class women
amongst whom it wonld seem to be
easier to accomplish that end.
Their straight waists, fiat chests,
doughty compilations, and generally
rigid forms, do not at all suggest
the idea, Of wantonness, but still
there are exceptions among the
younger ones, whose black eyes
have not lost their luster, forms
their roundness, or cheeks their
bloom; and whose near presence
would go far to unsettle and such
conviction Of duty, ii not to render
it total and utterly miserable
wreck.

PUFFENBERGER, the engineer of
the coal train, on the Chicago, Al
ton & st. Louis Railway, the irreg-
ular running of which, caused the
terrible collision near Lamont last
August, by which many were killed
and wounded, was on trial last week
in Chicago, on indictment for man.
slaughter. On Saturday, the jury
returned a sealed verdict, finding
the prisoner not guilty, as charged
in the indictment, and censuring the
Chicago & Alton railway company
for employing incompetent men in
connection with the business Of the
road. The verdict was received by
the people in the courtroom, with
noisy demonstrations of approval,
causing the arrest and commitment
Of three men, including juror for
contempt. Subsequently upon poll
ing the jury, one jnryman dissented
from the verdict, when the panel
were ordered to return and agree
upon n verdict. In half an hour
they returned with simple verdict
OF acquittal, emitting the censure
of the railroad company. The Iri-
bune attributes this sudden change
in the verdict, to the influence Of
money used by the railroad compa-
nv.

Repeat Il.

Now that the time for the meet
ing of Congress approaches, the de-
mand for the repeal of the outra
gcous salary bill of the last Con
gress should be heard with pccu.
liar force and directness. Let every
member know that his const;tu.
ents demand of him immediate and
prompt action in the matter, and
that they will watch him with jeal-
Gus and unrelenting eyes, until his
whole duty is accomplished in this
regard. 1t is possible that the re-
peal of the Ubiquitous measure is al
ready assured, but the avalanche
of votes under which it shall be
buried shonld be so overwhelming
as to fittingly indicate the public
execration of the purely selfish and
mercenary Legislation of which it is
so fragrant an example.
We think the people of this Dis
trict may rely upon the best and most
energetic efforts of their represen-
tative for the repeal Of this OBJ
noxious measure. Mr.. Donnan
fought the bill so long as there was
a chance of defeating its passage,
and we are confident that he will
welcome the opportunity to renew
the war upon it for repeal.

have before stated, nearly all our at

forced to reduce reading matter to
three columns. All the Geographic
operators are down with the fever,
and we are consequently unable to
obtain the press dispatches; and,
finally, the mails from many local
ties have been stopped, and our ex-
change list thereby great reduced.
Under these circumstances, we can
do nothing more than furnish the
local news OF this city, and the

like a neurological journal than a
newspaper. However, 80 long as
we can find q man in town who can
