CARD.

10 my Customers:
4 am obliged to say, owing to the extraor-
dihary heavy expense In my building this sea-
son, all accounts will fall due the Ist of Sep
TENDER Instead of January as formally, and
sincerely hope none will propose pay in any
thing that will not pay my laborers, material
IN my building, or material in shop. Please
don: wait for personal call, for you must be
aware, my time is all employed otherwise.
A small inconvenience to you, in getting
ready TO meet this little bill, may save me
many steps, and much anxiety. Also those
owing me notes, and due, will be governed by
like considerations.
An EXCUSE, however plausible, will not as
sist me at ali. cannot use them, so PLEASE
don't bring any. With a view to perma-
nance, convenience, and beauty, have I'M
dertaken this big job, and hope and expect,
with improved facilities to be able 10 meet
the wants of this community in substantial
work, plain or fancy, and further illustrate
the policy existing some years since of send
ing abroad for nice carriage of any kind.

Marrying a Wife.

From ths Prairie dn Chen Uniou)
This ID the way young man did
it at Blooming ton, Grant county.
1t is fitting example for other
young men. He is an American /;
and last spring concluded that he
couldn't farm worth a cent without
wife. He didn't go among the
Miss Nancies for choice, but went
among the Norwegians, and found
one of good countenance, with q
stout heart, brawny arms, strong
muscles, and a will to do anything
to promote the interests of the farm.
He proposed, and she accepted.
She couldn't talk scarcely a word of
English, but that was nothing. His
young friends laughed at him. They
thought him wild. She helped him
TO pillow the ground, SOW wheat and
oats, and plant the corn. When har.
vest came, he bought a Marsh Har-
vester, on which two binders ride
and do all the work of binding. In
stead of hiring two men to do the
binding, she mounted the reaper
herself, and while her husband held
the reins. she bound all the grain ;
and thus saving the expense of five
dollars day. Young men, here's
an example from which you may
profit,

THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

The snow had begun In the gioail'ihB'
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With u silence deep and whito.
Every pine, and fir, and hemlock,
Wnre orniine too dear for an Earl,
And the poorest twing on the elih tree
Wos frjnped inch deep with the pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
Came Chapticleers muied crow,
rho atiff rails were softened to swan's-doWn,
And still luttered down the snow.
7 stood and watched by ths%indow
The noiselcss work of the SKY,
And the sudden iiurries of snow blrdS.
Like brown leaves whirling by.
Thought of mound in sweet Auburn,
Where a little head-stone stood
Where the fakes were folding 1t gently,
As did robins the babes in tho woods.
Up spoke our little Mabel, =,
Saving, "Father, who makes IT snow?
And | told her Of the good All-Fathcr
Who cares for us below.
Again I looked at the snow fall,
And Thought Of the lcaden sky
That arched DER our first great sorrow
When the mound was hcaped 80 high.
| remember the Rrhuui pa,i'"''
That fell from the cloud like snow,
Flake by fake, healing anu lildihR
rhc soar of that deep stabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered,
"The snow that hushoth all,
Darling, the Merciful Father,
Alone can make 1t fall"
Then with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she kissed back, but could not KNOW
That my kiss was given to her sister
Folded close under deepening snow.
