Good IL Resolutions.


Written for the Pilot
The holidays are past /; the season of good
wishes and happy greetings has taken its
fight, and now after the glare and glitter of
st. Nicholas and Old Year is laid away for
Il time, We have a chance TO look around and
note what the New Year has in store for our
eiihcaton-for our better or our worse
What blessing it is that Providence keeps
the future hid from US; and yet We ought to
be able to read it so far as to make our COM
ing life trxe and beautiful, from lessons
learned through the mistakes of the past.
But it is no use to make resolutions unless
you put them into practice; at this time
when so many are promising themselves that
now and hence-forth they will do SO and so,
they often make very serious mistaks,
the first thing. They get an idea that
unless they can be q second Florence Night
ingale or a Grace Darling, they can't be any
thing; and the othsrside stand and expect the
mantle of a Washington or some other IDEAL
parsonage 10 fall on their willing shoulders,
and then the SO and so will be done; and III

OLE B. OLEsoN an old resident of this
city aud county, now of Mortified MINI
has been sojourning with his many friends
in our midst for the past three weeks. lie
returned home yesterday morning by the way
of Milwaukee and Chicago where he will
stock up for the genera, merchandise trade
he has established during the pa st year at
Mortified in connection with his brother
who learned the business Of our fellow
townsman J. A. Koehler Esq. The broth

them in this community.
Mr.. JOHN ROBINSON of the firm of T. i
J. r obinson of Green Bay, accompanied by
his nephew Mr.. Richard Robinson, late of
merry England, visited our city Saturday,
and stayed over Sunday with the Hon Thos.
Robinson, returning home On Monday
morning last.
Hon Jos. Villas and wife, left this city by
York aud Boston. On returning they will take
up their residence in Chicago, and board for
the present winter, at least at one of the prin-
cipal hotels Of that city. The dallest Of
comprehensions in our midst will be able to
see that the losing of MI. Villas as Il citizen
of this city and county. will be a serious loss
to the business interests Of the whole com
mnnity. There are very many among us
that have good reason to remember his eff
cient aid in clearing this city and county
from the several drafts during the Rebellion.
All bushes. men know that he was the
motive power in all the early efforts to start
our Harbor improvements, while there is no
man in the county who does not know that he
accomplished the building of tie Lake Shore
and Western Railways against the combined
efforts of almost every other Il. r. corpora
ton in the whole state.
All must concede that success against such
opposition is very rare and the men who
mould such opportunities successfully are
infinitely more scarce.
In social sense the loss of Mr.. and Mri.
Villas will be deeply felt in our city their
house was ever open to all visitors from
home or abroad, and their well known hospi-
tality will be remembered by wide circle Of
friends and acquaintance throughout the
whole Northwest.

To TuK MEMORY or MAURICE FIELDING,


God babe his soul, on Christmas day,
When the world forgot il shadow,
To change his home, TO pass away,
Oblivious of sin and sorrow.
Alas so sudden his fight,
From friepds and relations dear,
To whome he was a shining light,
Like stars o'cr the ocean drcar.
Gently yet sadly they laid him
To sleep Meth the cold, cold sod,
Where sin can nee r upbraid him,
For his home is with his God.
Fear not, thy dear one is not dead.
Though his voice Won shall never hear,
And his form hath forever fled
His spirit in beauty is near.
Weep not for him You loved so dear
Whom God 10 thee hath given.
That he might gain thy love while here,
Then turn thy thoughts to heaven
No sweeter purer life than his,
Assaulted by sufferings oft intense,
Can be enrolled mid souls of bliss,
Or ever gain Gods recompense.
