Braidwood, Will Co., H., Nov. 9, 1877.

The great want of the age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
will condemn wrong in friend or foe,
in themselves as well as others. Men
whose consciences are as steady as the
needle to the pole. Men who will
stand for right if the heavens totter
and the earth reels. Men who tell
the truth and can look the world and
the devil right in the eye. Men that
ueitLer flag nor finch. Men who can
have courage without shouting to it,
Men in whom the courage of ever
lasting life runs still, deep and strong
Men who do not cry or cause thei1
voices to be heard on the streets, but
will not fail nor be discouraged till
judgment be set in earth. Men who
know their places and can fill them
Men who will not tell lie. Mer
who are not too lazy to W ork, nor toe
proud to be poor.

One Cent a Day!

Economy is the order of the hour
and every expenditure, however small
is expected to give return in full
value. Every family requires one
good reliable family newspaper. II
such an article can be procured for
less than one cent for each working
day in the year we are not aware of it.
A Family Newspaper should contain
carefully-prepared summary of all
the news of the day, both Religious
and Secular and if arranged so that
the two departments may be separ-
ated and read by two individuals at
the same time, so much the better.
The Fanelly Newspaper should haye
attractive reading and information for
the various members of household.
Some portion should be devoted, every
week, to religious and moral improve
ment, to current secular news, to agri-
culture, commerce, markets, finance,
to general literature, &C., with sps-
cial department for the young. Above
all the Family Newspaper should be
perfectly pure, and free from any con-
taminating influences in its reading
matter or in its advertisements. Too
much attention cannot be paid to this
feature, when the press is flooding
the country with so much that is vile
and pernicious. To crown all, the
Family Newspaper should be antram-
melled by any affilation with sect or
party, and should be free to give all
the good news from and about all the
world. If such a Family Newspaper
can be had for one cent day, it should
be taken by every family in the land
Such a Family Newspaper, in every
respect, we find in the New YORK
OBSERVER, now commencing its fifty
sixth volume. Progressive, compre-
hensive, sound, reliable, pure, it is
just what is needed in your household.

A CARD.-From the Miners of
Broidavood, Coal City, Diamond and
Treka TO ALL MINERS, FELLOW
WoRKMEN Once more we have to
appeal to you to give no heed to those
lying dispatches that are sent across
the wires from day to day, by the
paid emissaries of our enemies to their
associated and subsidized press. Sew
en- months have we fought ons of the
most oppressive and gigantic corpora
tions on this side of the Allegheny
mountains, for our rights and liber-
ties as citizens of this free Republic,
and fair remuneration for our labor
Everything that villany or cunning
could suggest has been done and is
still continued on purpose to demor-
alize US and keep our fellowmen from
sending aid to relieve the distressed
families that are in our midst. What
a noble and heroic struggle! Fifteen
hundred men laid down their tools on
the first day of April, and submitted
themselves and families to hunger
and privation rather than sign away
their birth right, and become bonded
slaves in this boasted land Of liberty.
And nothing will induce the men of
this place to resume work, but justice,
tair play, liberty and equality. Hop
ing that all who have aided us in the
past will continue to do so, and victo.
ry will yet crown the efforts of this
noble army.
We remain Yours Respectfully,

Men Without Occupation.

The man who has nothing to do is
the most miserable Of beings. No mat
ter how much wealth man possess
es, he can be neither contented nor
happy without occupation. We were
born to labor, and the world is our
vineyard. We can find field of use
fulness almost anywhere, In occupa-
tions we forget our cares, our worldly
trials, and our sorrows 1t keeps US
from constantly worrying and brood
ing over the inevitable. If we have
enough for ourselves, We can labor for
the good of others and such task is
one of the most delightful duties a
worthy and good man can possibly en-
gage in.
A scHooLMAsTER, after giving one
of his scholars a sound drubbing for
speaking bad grammar, sent him to
the other end of the room to inform
another boy that be wished to speak
to him, at the same time promising to
repeat the dose if he spoke to him
ungrammatically. The boy, quite sat
isfed with what he had received, de-
termined to be exact, and thus ad-
dressed his fellow-pupil: "There is
a common substantive, of the mascu-
line gender, singular number, noml-
native case, and in en- angry mood,
that sits perched upon pf9n the emlneace
at the other SIDE the room wlshlng
to articulate few sentences to yoas Y, Y,

The idea that q person has two
cars merely for symmetry, OF to,
keep his head from being lop- -sided,.
has been exploded. One of the
Vienna professors has been making
somo experiments which lead to the
conclusion that two ears are abso~
lutely necessary in doterming cor
rectly the direction from which q
sound comes. He has found that
persons who are deaf in one ear usu-
ally suppose that sounds come from
the direction in which the sound ear
