no bricks used for that purpose. The irri-
eating bitches make muddy cutters and
rank weeds in many places, and for COM
pactly built city would be an unmitigated
nuisance. Denver is the skeleton of a
large city and fine one, and at present is
full of ragged squares, marked with fine
buildings here and there. There are many
handsome residences with shade trees about
them, which give them comfortable, cosy
appearance. The views looking out from
Denver on the Rocky Mountains and snowy
range, with Pixies peak rs miles to the
south and Grays peak nearly due west, are
of course very fine, but they have been the
prolific theme of every newspaper CORE
spondent since it has become fashionable
to puff every thing in Colorado; but am
not in the putting business, and describe
things as they appear to me and to others
we have nothing particular at stake which
requires putting.
Colorado has been vastly overdone by
sentimental writer's and fashionable cor
respondents. Many health seekers like
Grace Greenwood come out to this dry
country suffering with asthma, or are in
the early stages of consumption, worn out
and pros trate in nerve, mind and body, in
the low moist atmosphere of the old states.
Presently the pure mountain air and dry
atmosphere of the plains brace them up
and they begin to enjoy such life as they
have long been strangers to. AS the nerv-
GUS system tones up all the senses are
awakened to new existence, and natural
ly cover every object around them with the
golden halo Of young loves dream. The
Psalmist says: "a dinner of herbs is bet
ter where love is than stalled OK and
hatred Herewith" And so it is with
those sick correspondents. What is all
the world to them if they have bad health.
The poorest place with buoyant health is
more like paradise than the most enchant-
ing land under the sun without health.
The return of health cheats the magma
ton, and not little of the romance and
beauty of Colorado which glows in the
pages of magazines and newspapers is in
ternally reflected by the writers. Those
who enjoy good health anywhere and every
where are the best judges of the merits
and demerits of this much praised and
overpraised country.
Denver is wonderful little city for a
city of eight or ten years growth; for al
though sixteen years since the first cabin
was built on its site, the city as it is, has
been built up within single decade. 1t
is the opinion Of those most competent to
judge that the city can never number more
than 80, 900; the water supply, it is believ-
ed, will then have found its limit.

stream that never had been fshed, there
were many old, full-grown catfish. l
caught several that was awful long-one
that weighed ninety three pounds. His
mouth was so large, that when l held it
open my wife put the baby's head in it.
When I skinned and dressed him, his nav,
being large and full of something, l cut it
open and found nine cells Is inches in length
in it; but none of the bait had thrown in.
So l concluded that the big cats had come,
not to eat the offal had placed there, but
to catch the cells that had gathered after it.
On this discovery, took one of the cells,
put it on good hook, went to my little
house and threw it in. Instantly it was
seized and run off with much force. 1t
was very strong fish weighing 81 pounds.
1t had three cells in it. They were quite
fat. l took pains and cut them in large
pieces, and when they had taken salt suffi-
GENTLY, hung them up in our little smoke
house, and they cured very finely. My
father said they were better fish than the
Goldfish.
At first, the fish did not seem to be plenty.
They didn't bite good as expected; but
after I got three more of those big cats
out. l found it a glorious fishing place.
They had been, as I supposed, running off
all the smaller fish, and now when the
scale fish became plenty, l supposed the
five big fellows l had taken out were all of
that sort belonging ia that section of the
river. 1 never caught but one more big
fellow there.
l had already made myself a pretty good
little "dugout would carry four persons

shot across the river.

Riches from Daily Savings.

Very few people are aware of the re-
suits to be accomplished in a series of
years by the habit of saving small
amount each day and putting it at in
terest. Most persons spend these
small amounts on unnecessary and USE
less luxuries and, because each
amount is small, they fail to take any
particular notice of it, and utterly fail
to estimate the aggregate of such spend
ings during the course of life. In this
way many man spends fortune with
out knowing it; and in this way, too, the
poor are kept poor.
Most people is this country who en-
JOY an average degree of health and who
are industrious, earn at least small
surplus beyond their necessary ex-
penses; and, if they would save this
surplus and put it to interest, they
would find in the end much larger ac-
emulation than they had anticipated.
Thousands of them would have COM
potency if living to old age, instead of
being dependent on the charity of
others. We submit the following table
to show what would be the result at the
end of fifty years by saving a certain
amount each day and putting it to In
terest at the rate of 6 per cent
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-11-26

The Gally saving of sums interme-
diate between those named in the
above table would, of course, yield
similar proportionate results. We in
vite our readers to study this table
with care. There is no man, woman,
or child living to whom it would not
convey very important practical les
son.
The fact is, the miseries, poverty,
beggary, and want that prevail among
men, especially in this country, spring
very largely from their prodigality.
They manage to consume as they go
along all their income, whether from
business or wages ; and, hence, they are
always poor, thousands of them never
being worth enough to pay their funeral
charges. A great many fortunes that
might have been saved are lost in this
way. If the entire body of society were
to act on their principle, it would be IL
the state of permanent pauperism, con.
Stunning as it goes along all the produce
of its industry, and. hence, living from
hand to mouth. The only reason why
this is not true of all is that portion
of the people do not consume all they
earn or produce; and hence they have
a surplus, which goes to make up the
aggregate of the general wealth.

The Domestic GrOWler.

Look at himl he is a curiosity. He
was pleasant enough an hour ago, as lie
sat in his Office talking to jerks. With
his chair tilted back, the toes of his
boots resting against the mantel-piece,
his mouth extended in to loud guffaw
in reply to one of jerks yarns, you
would have said he was one of the jol-
lest fellows in the world.
But he does not look so now. He
considers it bad domestic policy to come
home smiling and cheerful; it would
not only lower his dignity as master of
the house, but it would encourage his
wife and children to the asking of all
sorts of favors. and the running into
goodness knows, what extravagances.
The only way, he believes, to keep up
proper system of household authority,
and reduce household expenditure to its
certain limits, is to always find fault,
and never relax for a moment the sys-
tenn of domestic snubbing.
Of course, the coming home of the
growler is not looked for with Joy. All
pleasant influences take wing. The
very atmosphere becomes charged with
depressing or explosive material. The
cook spills the gravy, and blackens the
toast for the pigeons the wife is afraid
the SOUP viii not be all right, or the
pudding done to the precise turn the
children huddle In corner, and no one
feels that he can breathe until spa
has gone. Who would be growler?

Old Dutch Proverbs.

We must row with the oars we have
and as we cannot order the wind we are
obliged to sail with the wind that God
gives.
Patience and attention will bring
us far. If cat watches long enough
at the mouse nest, the mouse shall not
escape.
Perseverance will obtain good cabbage
and lettuce where otherwise nothing but
thistles will grow.
The plowman must go up and down,
and whatever else may be done, there is
no other but this long way to do the
work well.
Learn to sleep with one eye open.
As soon as the chicken goes to roost, it
is good time for the fox.
If weary with waking, your portion
Will soon be meagre.
Fools always will ask what time it is,
but the wise know their time.
Grind while the wind is fair, and if
you neglect, do not complain of Gods
providence.
God gives feed to every bird, but he
does not bring it to the nest !;
in like manner he gives us our
daily bread, but by means of our daily
work.
Rise early then the fisherman finds
his worms.
The dawn of day has gold in its
mouth.
He that lags behind in road where
many are driving always will be in a
cloud OF dust.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
By REV. W. 8. BLANCHARD.

The PiIgrim-Fathers sainted sleep;
Their sons the old Thanksgiving keep
With gratitude, devotion's zeal,
Their vows at Heavens high altar seal;
Not as in days long gone, Of yore,
Beside the great Atisntic's roar,
But through this boundless, vast domain,
This and Of Freedoms happy reigni
With Huguenot, proud cavalier,
The brave descendants settled here
All who have stood in phalanx strong,
Rolled back the surging tides of wrong,
Planted rare GERMS of Liberty,
New riser, grand, stately, giant tree,
Meath whose great shade, In deepening light,
The nations learn truth, justice, right
They strike the palm join friendly hand;
North, South, East, West, own kindred land
One heritag e-the model State
Bound by connatural bonds of fate,
Where oft Thanksgiv1ng's prayer should rise
To Him whose viii all good supplies!
While swift goes on the course of time,
And century-wonders wax sublime,
This day imperial offerings bring:
Make Heavens high-storied arches ring;
With glowing heart, with clarion tongue,
Let freedoms airs be loudly sung;
-.arth, earth, far-hstening, silent hear
It's jubilee fast drawing near,
IN deepening harmony accord,
AL ranks adore the sovereign Lord,
Who led the Z" Fathers DER the deep
The great Thanksgiving here to keepi
It's now fond children, glad, return
Ts where parental affairs burn;
That friends renew, reweave the tie
That time survives and cannot die
Full many group, all radiant, bright,
Shall grace the hours Of festive light;
Ra-e-beaming nectar sparkling flow:
Sweet merriments no boundaries know;
Huge grooming tables vie around,
Piled IN righteousness profound,
While dainties all shall overflow,
Go seek the poor relieve of woe;
Bid charity abundance find;
with deepening love embrace mankind;
And. while Thanksgiving's joys shall greet,
Let want, despair, find bliss complete
Tie patriots heart shall swell with pride;
The Christian Joy that Christ hath died
To bless the mccoy, lost, undone,
TIE nations gather, make them onei
lis well All local bounds retire
Before congenia. spreading fire;
TIE Stars and Stripes, long may they shine I;
BE Old Thanksgiving yours and mine!

CHEAP EDUcATIoN.-So much has
been said by the radical party in En-
gland of the high cost of education-at
the universities as an argument of their
inutility except to persons Of property,
that an official investigation has lately
been instituted. From this it appears
that the necessary expenses of an Ok

Foolish Habits.

| DIR. Hall enumerates several practices
of the careless public, which are some
time as dangerous as they are foolish:
Walking along the streets with the
point of an umbrella sticking out be-
yond, under the arm or over the
shoulder. By suddenly stopping to
speak to friend. or other cause, per-
son walking in the rear had his brain
penetrated through the eye, and died
in few days.
To carry long pencil in vest or out
side coat pocket. Not long since a
clerk in New York fell, and his long
cedar pencil so pierced an important
artery that it had to be cut down from
the top of the shoulder to prevent his
bleeding to death.
To take exercise, or walk for the
health, when every step is drag, and
instinct urges repose.
To guzzle down glass Of cold water,
on getting up in the morning, without
any feeling of thirst, under the impress
sion of the health-giving nature of its
washing out qualities
TO sit down at the table and "force I"
yourself to eat, when there is not only
no appetite, but a decided aversion to
food.
To take glass of soda, or toddy. or
sangaree, or mint drops on a summer
day, under the belief that it is safer
and better than glass of water.
To persuade yourself that you are
destroying one unpleasant odor by in
PRODUCING stronger one that is, to
sweeten your unwashed garments and
person by enveloping yourself in the
fumes of musk, eau de cologne, or rose
water I; the best perfume being a clean
skin aud well-washed clothing.
HEART AND BLOOD. -The amount of
blood in an adult is nearly thirty
pounds, or full one-ffth of the entire
weight. The heart is six inches in
length and four inches in diameter, and
beats seventy times per minute, 1900
times per hour, 100000 times per day,
81, To 900 per year, and 1855, 440, 600
in three score and ten. At each beat
two and half ounces of blood are
thrown out of it, one hundred and sew
enty-five ounces per hour, and seven
and three-fourths tons per day. All
the blood in the body passes through
the heart every three minutes, or should
| do so.-Phren. Annual
