THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.

Men willingly believe what they wish
to be true.
Prejudice squints when it looks, and
lies when it talks.
To be furiously religious is to be ir-
religiously religious.
Vulgarity, profanity and vileness are
no wit or real humor.
Things are shadows, but the chase
after them is real exercise.
The great end of good education is
to form reasonable man.
Many treat the gospel with indiffer-
ence upon the name of liberality.
Pride often builds the nest in which
poverty matches out its sorTows.
Liberality makes friends Of enemies,
pride makes enemies of friends.
He must be thorough fool who can
learn nothing from his own folly.
The true secret Of living at peace
with all the world is to have an humble
opinion of ourselves.
It's not wise to loose friend to
whom you can do kindness, or from
whom you can take one.
That man is voted bore who per-
sists in talking about himself when you
wish to talk about yourself.
Teach children to love everything
that is beautiful and you will teach them
TO be beautiful and good.
He that does base thing in zeal for
friend, burns the golden thread that
ties their hearts together.
Mankind in the gross is gaping
monster that loves to be deceived, and
has seldom been disappointed.

A SINGULAR DREAM AND ITS STRANGE
FULLrILLMENr.-Thef following curious

ments of death. A lady of the first res
pectability vouches for the truth of the
story, and from the parties we have not
the least hesitation in publishing it as
a fact. Not more than month ago
our lady informant's mother dreamed
that she was on visit at her fathers
house in Baltimore. While there her
father called her into an unoccupied
room containing only two somber look
ing coffins. She asked him why he
kept such mournful reminders of the end
of man in his house, and for whom
were they intended I His only reply, as
he pointed to the coffins, was, zone is
for me and the other for you" There
was nothing of the usual feeling OF ter
ror produced by such dreams expert
enced by the lady ON this occasion, and
the dream made little impression on her
mind at the time. But a week scarcely
elapsed before she was summoned to the
death bed of her father, and on Sunday
last she Joined him in the spirit world.

presentiment of death ?-Cumberiand

IT's NOT YOURBUsNEssw WHY.

Would you like to know the secrets
Of your neighbor's house and life?
How he lives or how he doesn't
And just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time of labor,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play?
If you wish it I will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If your neighbor is but civil,
1t is not your business why.
If my friend, instead of prying
Into other mems affairs,
If you do your own but justice,
You will find no time for theirs.
Be attentive to such matters
And concern yourself alone,
And whenever fortune flatters
Let your business be your own.
One word more by way of finish
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected,
You must cease to be a pry.

A NEEDLE IN THE HEART.-A little
girl in San Francisco, CAL, accidentally
forced a needle into her chest while
leaning against a windowsill. A physi-
clan was called but was unsuccessful
in finding the needle, although search
was made, and the integuments of the
chest divided to the breast-bone, i'm
mediately over the wound. The child
had broken it off in an effort to extri-
cate it herself. The needle had pene-
trated the chest, from which it was
quite impossible to extricate it. The
child died in few days, and an autopsy
revealed a wound in the right vertiele
of the heart produced by the needle. :

years of age, being Of sound mind and

THE BRAZEy AGE.

Gail Hamilton never wrote a truer
word than in some advice she gives 10
young girls on lady-like behavior. She
says "Wildness is thing which girls
cannot afford. Delicacy is thing that
cannot be lost and found"
Yet how many young girls we know
in this bold age, who affect this very
wildness and coarseness OF behavior, and
fancy it shows a spirit of independence,
that is quite a charm in young woman
hood. They openly despise young girls
who blush at rude remarks, and shrink
from drawing attention in public pla-
ces. One might almost think when
looking at these "wild girls, that the
''brazen aye" had come again. With
what bold, rude stare do average wo-
men look each other over, when they
meet in public places How loudly
many young misses converse on the
street or in places OF public resort
What rude behavior the more daring
sort are frequently guilty OF, even in
the very face of public opinion. l saw
young miss of perhaps fourteen; day
or two ago, who invited herself to ride
with lad whom she knew, in q cart
he was driving. The boy was perhaps
sixteen aud full of mischief, so he laugh
ingly fourished his whip around as he
did when boys attempted to hang on
for ride. Nothing daunted, she still
persisted in clambering up, when Will,
to end the matter, inst tipped her jauuty
hat in the brim with his whip and tum-
bled it off in the dust. Of course she
was obliged to pick it up and the laugh
ing boy travelled on looking back and
shouting merrily. She was greatly
provoked, and loud in denouncing his
rudeness, but ! wanted to whisper TO
Miss Nelly, "If you play with whales
you must take whales play ) if she
wished to be boy in behavior she
must not complain that they meet her
on her own grounds.
Miss Nelly has outgrown the respect
of all the neighborhood. An easy-go-
ing mother has lost all command over
her, and it is something fearful to look
forward to her future. Gail puts it
very strongly when she says :"Bad man.
ners in a woman is immortality" but
certainly they often lead to immortality,
and give occasion for society to pass its
harshest judgements on those guilty OF
such offenses. Remember this, that
wild girls are always objects of suspl-
cion, and if they could hear half the re-
marks made about them they would
dread to show their faces on the street.

and Liberal Republicans would take
square issue with the gentleman from
Lee and also Pottawattamie. He did
not admit that this was called Demo-
cratic State Convention. He had been
told instead by members of the Com
mittee calling it that it was not called
- Democratic Convention. The
gentleman said he wanted to go back
and briefly review the history of Iowa
for 25 years. (Cries of "Dontp
"Don't!" and yells of laughter.) The
speaker good humoredly faced the tu-
mutt, and shamed them into hearing
him. Then he told them % years
ago, according to tradition, there was
. Democratic party in Iowa. But il
had now dwindled down 10 meagre
numbers, and was dead. Never were
truer words spoken than those that
were spoken in the Court House in
this city by Mr.. Irish in 1872, declar.
ing Democracy dead and buried.
Do not, we appeal to you, place the
name Of Democracy at the head of the
ticket. If you do that, even the Demo-
Gratis of Guthrie county will rcpudiate

Democrat at the head of tho ticket If

a name. is in tho black line heading
prefxcd by the committees to the call
for the State Convention. A bastard
with so many sircs, that they fought
like cats and dogs over the name and
finally sent the bantling out into the
world, saying to all people, designate
it as you please-we the dadies can't
agree what to call it. What child's
play! what a cowardly act! what q
dishonest course! A reform party,
that to start with, has not virtue
enough to give itself a name, be-
cause they are not SO liable to humbug
people into their support il they take
any name that can be suggested. The
Democracy of Iowa have at last ex-
hausted their ingenuity in hunting up
aliases. and when some of them would
90 back to the old name aud thus de-
clare that they have for years past
been playing confidence game, .

solve TO yet try it on, and in so doing,
place themselves in the position that
when asked what they are, they are
obliged TO answer in shame, il shame

are asked to support a something
ashamed to own its name, but some
thing which every honest man must
admit will cast ninetcen-twentieths, at
least, of it's votes in 1876, for the DEM
ocratic nominee for President. Ii

Iowa, blessed with ordinary intelli-
gence, who can deny that this opposi-
ton party CT so-called reform is other

him.
