How TO GET RIcH.-Nothing Is
more easy than TO grow rich. 1t is on
~ to trust nobody-to befriend none
to get all you can, and save all you get
to STINT yourself and everybody be-
longing to you-to be the friend Of no
man, and have no man for your friend
to heap interest upon interest, cent
upon cent--to be mean, miserable and
dispised for some twenty or thirty years
and riches will come as sure as dis
ease and disappointment. And when
pretty nearly enough wealth us collect.
ed, by disregard Of all the charities of
the human heart, and at the expense of
every enjoyment, death comes to fin
ish the work-the body IS buried in a
hole, the heirs dance over it, and the
spirit goes-where?

KEEP HOME MATTERS PRIVATE
Preserve the privacies of your house,

mother, sister, brother, aunt, and all
the world. You two, with Gods help.
build your own quiet world every third
or fourth one you draw into it with you
will form party and stand between
you two. That should never be. Prom
ise this TO each other. Renew the VOW
at each temptation you will find your
reward in it. Your souls will grow, as
it were, together and at last they will
come as one. All, if fmany young pair
bad on their wedding day known this
secret, how many marriages were hap

1t is not luck but labor that makes
men. Luck" says an able writer, "is
evor waiting for something to turn up !;
labor, with keen eye and strong will,
always turns up something. Luck lies
in bed and wishes the postman would
bring him news of a legacy; labor turns
out at six, and with busy pen or ringing
hammer lays the foundation Of a COM
petence. Luck whines labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance labor on char
acter. Luck slips down to self-indul-
gence; labor strikes boldly upward, and
aspires to independence.

An Iowa StHdent who Lives on Nothing
and Earns IL Himself.

AT the commencement of the present
term of the medical college, a young
student from the West started tor Keo-
kuk to attend. Arriving at Abba, he
found his means would not be sufficient,
and he footed it the rest of the way to
this city. He paid in full for his tuition,
and then had just seven dollars Left
Three Of these were laid out for a quar-
ter's rent for room, in which was
nothing but his books. No bucket, no
stove; no furniture, no bed, not even a
blanket, and only four dollars to live on.
In a month or so he procured blanket,
and considered himself fortunate. His
money was laid out IN corn meal, and
twice a week he would go down to the
pork houses and make up lot Of corn
bread, bake it, and bring it to his room,
and on corn bread alone he has been
subsisting during the entire term.
He has worked and earned five dol.
lars since he has been here, and on this
and the seven dollars he had left after
paying his college fees, twelve dollars
IN all, he has subslsted.
During all this time 10 one has known
how he subsisted, and the only remark
able thing that has been noticed about
him is, that he is one Of the brightest
students in the class, and bids fair to
graduate with the highest honors. His
condition would not have been found
out had it not been that gentleman
rented a rOem In the same building in
which the students was located, and by
making his acquaintance ascertaned
how he had been living.
The student is bright, frank, fear
less fellow. who asks no favors, has paid
in advance for everything he has got, is
not afraid of difficulties, and if he proves
not a bright and shining light in his pro-
fession-if he Is not heard from as an
eminent physician and surgeon ere many
years roll around, we lose our guess.

WINDING EARTHLY THINGS.

We ask for honor and to us is given
To be the sons of God, the heirs Of heaven
The "King of kings" prepares above the sky,
At His right hand, a seat Of royalty;
But We accept it not earthly renown
Is all We ssk-we spurn heavenly crown.
We seek for wealth. The "pearl Of price unknown
At once a bopnteous God would make our own,
Freely weuld his munfcence dispense
An ''incorruptible inheritance"
But no when perishable things are DER,
We seek enduring treasures-not before
We pant for fame. In characters Of gold,
The 'Book Of Life" is to our view unrolld
And there Jehovah would record our name,
Among the chos en- friends of Christ the Lamb.
But our ambition scars not to the sky.
Enough an earthly Immortality
We ask for bliss. God has for us in store
"Fulness Of joy-pleasures forevernore."
But here too, we refuse the proffered good,
Because 'tis given US in such plentitude,
We would for Times few feeting days be blest,
Needless of an eternity of rest.
Oh, how unworthy the immortal mind,
Its every wish to feeting time confined!
If from this transitory scene we rise,
To bright home Of glory in the skies,
How like the vision of an infants dream
Will such low thoughts, such mean conception
seem

a. =. GRANT.

We copy this morning from the New
York Herald Of the 9th, long and highly
interesting report of an interview between
General Grant and the Herald Paris CORES
pendent General Grant il no longer
"the Sphinx" Since his retirement from the
Presidency, his brilliant conversations have
been almost as notable as was his brilliant
silence during his official life. While
General Of the army and President Of the
United States, very larsspportion OF the
people Of the country were unable 10 de
eide whether his persistent silence was due
to the TACT that there was nothing in him,
or TO his extraordinary self-control which
enabled him to let other people do the talk
ing. while he remained silent, and kept his
plans and policies to himself. But there Is
no langer any question on that point now.
His mouth has been unlocked, and he has
shown himself able to Use words about as
effectively as he used the sword, and he makes
new friends and admirers among the Amer
lean people every time he speaks. His re-
marks which We print to-day are full Of in
tcrcsi. as they constitute an important
chapter in the story Of our great war.
They are noble and manly, and there is
Grant in every line.

Referring 70 the failure OF the Stewart

The design now is 10 change IL into an or

Whether the prices Will be raised or not has
been announced, but there is no reason
why ar increase should be made. II is high
time now that our leading hotels should cut
down their prices 10 suit the times There is
no such extortion praciiced IN anything; els.
except sleeping cars. While the cost of every
thing that goes 20 make and maintain a hotel
has decreased from 30 TO IS per cent the Old
war prices are still maintained. There is no
excuse for this, and the travelling public
should rebel against this form of robbery
There is sufficient profit in fair rates without
charging 50 unreasonable prices rs the first
class houses do all over the country. Let
reduction be made TO fair living rates. and the
hotel men as well rs the travellers will be the
better for it. Larger business will follow low

class hotel is a serious calamity From SIS 10

Peter Cooper has been q most successful

the wiscst of men ingiying i; away but the
shrewdest and kindest OF men are sadly
taken in at times. The testimony in the
