We live only as We grow, We live rightly
only as we grow regularly. We live fully
only as our whole nature is developed and
rounded into symmetry. All living organisms
have their peculiar laws of growth, and the
highest perfection of each is secured by the
strctest obedience to the law of of its nature.
Conformity to the law of mans nature in
wolves the harmonious development of all his
powers. Culture, the training and finishing
of the whole man, is requisite TO the forma-
ton of a healthy, well-balanced character.
We are encountered with no superhuous
members. If one finds peculiar pleasure in
the exercise of certain faculty, or has a
special aptitude for some particular employ
ment, this may be taken as hint of the pur-
suit in life he may proitably follow. But the
man is more than his work, and while it is
requisite to success that he seeks high de-
gree Of skill and proficiency in the direction
of his business, yet he should not narrow
his life to the details of his toll and thus sac
rifice the welfare of his whole nature. We
want no mere specialists, of whom i t takes
at least nine, as of taiors, TO make a man.
There is more in every life than it has yet
lived II waits for culture to transform the
hidden and possible into the visibl aud actual.
The longing in every heart tor greater full
ness Of life can only be met by broad Chris
tian culture, which expands the mind and
links the spirit with the Infinite, True cul-
ture shuts the door against vice by preoccupy-
ing the mind with noble thoughts, and By
giving the opportunity for stimulating
and eevating recreation. II conduces to
iberality and charity. No large Drained
man was ever bgot ; no large hearted man
was ever tyrant. Thorough culture tends
to social harmony, by wearing off the sharp
corners Of angular natures, and by broaden
ing the sympathies of men. 1t opens new
fields of enjoyment and contributes to hui
man happiness.

RfnnuJNcToN Iuna 10 1874

BLOOMINGTON, June l3, 1874.
At meeting of the Grange the following
resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, In the past the railroad corpora
tons of the state have ruled the legislature
the press, and the people;
RESOLVED, That we rejoice in the ultimate
prospect of the peoples victory over another
rebellion.
Resolved, That we approve of the enforce>
ment of the law against as well against
other violators of the sovereignty Of the state.
RESOLVED, That we endorse the wisdom of
the last legislature in the enactment of law
protecting the people from the encroachments
of railway corporations by regulating fare and
freights.
RESOLVED That in our judgment, regulating
the fare and freight of the railways is as con-
stitutional as regulating the fare for the cross
| ing of ferry or bridge. or the toll of mill.
RESOLVED, That the GRANT County HERALD
is not representative of the popular opinion
of the citizens of old Grant in the case of
| the state vs. the railroads; that to us it has
| the outlook of selling out the people to the
| railway companies. Judas went for silver.
John, don't go for greenbacks-
RESOLVED, That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the GRANT COUNTY HERALD and the
West Grant Advocate for publication.

DUBUQUE PoNTooS. The commit
tee of the Dubuque city council, ap.
pointed to investigate and report upon
the matter OF pontoon bridge across
the Mississippi, have, we are glad to
learn, reported favorably for such a
project. In anticipation of the adop-
ton of the report company has al
ready been formed and a sufficient
amount subscribed to warrant the con-
struction of the bridge at an early
day. The company will proceed at
once to work, and will be ready for
driving the piles within month. The
draw, or movable portion Of the
bridge, will not be boat, as at Prairie
du CHEN, but raft, composed of logs
hewed and faced, and fastened togeth-
er and made waterproof, boarded up
at each side to keep out the water.
The projectors are very sanguine of
success. Now that this bridge will be
undoubtedly built, steps should be
taken by the towns along the east bank
of the Mississippi, from Dunleith to
Potosi, to open up the old Dunleith
river road. This improvement will be
necessary to accommodate the increas-
ed travel and freight that must follow
the completion of the Dubuque wagon
pOntoon bridge.

ELIZA NAGLE.

Life is a mysterious problem, solved only
when its activities here shall cease; the re-
suit Of human action the product of human
thought; the revealed character of man.
Mems works indicate the elements that de-
termine the character of the workman. We
must study them for thought, examine for
beauty, and search them for truth, and as we
find these essentials, we pronounce the work
perfection and the worker perfect man. In
contemplating man and his work, there is
difficulty in reconciling matter and mind, and
rendering the material in an objective and
material form. The artist does not give the
world his finest work, or the poet his best
thought. These are his ideals, which, ema-
mating from God, are higher than the refec-
ton in his work. Thought and industry go
hand in hand in the performance of any great
work Thought is to character what culture
is to the plant; when man is deprived OF It's
aid, his powers either remain latent, or their
exercise, like the produce of the unculhvated
field, is wild and worthless The advance
ment of civilization is manifestation of the
advancement of character. The savage in his
cruelties exhibits his nature the heather, in
the worship Of his idols, the waste within.
Civilized nature. exhibit the advancement of
free, independent thought. In mans work
we find not only expressions of his mental
and physical character, but also shining
through these in his spiritual. Each man
has his appropriate sphere in which to labor;
though humble, it reveals the character of
the workman. Man may narrow the circle
of his activities, though inability to Withstand
deteriorating influences. Truth only is last
ing. Without this, work will be in vain.
AS through nature we may read the power,
wisdom and goodness Of the Creator, so man
IN his works is his own reyealer Whatever
be life, it is rere lation of the character OF
man.
