TIE INVISIBLE CHILDREN.-It is not
when your children are with you; 1t is not
when YOU see and hear them. that they
are most to you it is when the sad assem-
bage is gone; it is when the daisies have
resumed their growing again in the place
wher. the little form WAS laid; it is when
You have carried Your children ont and
said farewell. and come home again. and
day and night are full of sweet memories
it is when Summer and Winter are full
of touches and suggestions of thsm; it is
when you can not look up toward heaven
without thinking of them. or look down
toward yourself and not think Of them; it
is when they are gone ont OF your arms.
and are living to you only by the power
of imagination. that they are the most tc

Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms a~>ail"d il;

For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy's the, tender fountain;
Power may with beauty finw;
Mothor irstrO guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow,
Grow on for the good or evil,
sunshine strcamcd or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman how divine your misslon
IIele upon our natal sod
Keep Okeep the young heart open
Always to the breath oiGoii
All true troubles of the a=es

For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks tie world
blessings on the hand of woman

Rainbows evermore are curlcd;

TO THE PUBLIC.

Upon occupying our New Brick Block
and entering upon the New Year, we de-
sire to enter upon new era in the manner
of doing business. We therefore give no
tice that from and after Jan. l, 1876, we
will only sell for Cash or its equivalent.
To our friends and patrons we say that
book accounts with us are among the
things that were. In thus changing our
mode of doing business, we are only actu
ated by desire not only to benefit our
selves, but also our friends and customers,
who will receive the benefit of lower prices
and will not be compelled to go elsewhere
to buy goods cheap for eash. When We
started into business, over twenty years ago,
the county was comparatively new; farm
era and others needed help in the way of
credit. The prosperity of all classes of
people since, does away with the necessity;
most are able to pay for goods needed as they
go along and Savs money thereby. Thank
ing our old customers, Ohose names on our
books have become "household words" for
all favors, we trust we shall continue to see
their faces whenever in want of goods we
will make it for their interest to buy of US.
Shall pay cash not only for grain, but for
butter and eggs, and all country produce.
n. BAH accounts must be settled at
once. FIR. MILLER & Co.
