Gems Of Thought.

Self-sacrifice even when misdirec
ted is still sacrifice.-Hugo.
Always there is black spot in our
sunshine, the shadow of ourselves.
Carlyle.
Time is what we want most, but
what we use worst, and for which we
must ali account when time shall be
no more.
Time never passes so slowly and
tediously as to the idle and listless.
The best cure for dullness is to keep
busy.
One can no more prevent the mind
from returning to an idea than the
sea from returning to a shore.-Victor
Hugo.
The laws Of friendship are austere
and eternal, better be a nettle in the
side of your friend than his echo.-
Emerson.
The deaths smile is the grandest
thing in the world. 1t makes the
dark Past an arch o. triumph into a
radiant Future.
You can't get anything in this
world without money, some say; but
this is not true, for without money
you get into debt.
1t seems like passing through
tombs and city OF the dead to walk
through large library; for here how
many aspirations-proud and high
reaching as the stars--hopes and
longings lie buried.-Sumner.
Nature has strange ways of doing
The most beautiful things. Out of
the oozy earth, the mud and rain Of
early spring, come the most delicate
flowers, their white leaves born out
of the dirt, as unsoile d and pure as il
they had bloomed in the garden of
Paradise.
Our stock In life, our real estate,
is that amount OF thought which we
have had, which we have thought
out. II we have ever done any work

What a lovely bridge between
old age and childhood is religion
how intuitively the child begins with
prayer and worship on entering life,
and how intuitively on quitting life
the old man turns back to prayer and
worship, putting himself side by side
with the infant. III there were no ef-
ficacy in prayer-if prayer were as
mere an illusion OF superstitious
phantasy as aught against which
your reason now struggles, do you
think that nature herself would have
made it amongst the most common
and facile OF all her dictates ?-Buluer.

Matrimonial Advertisements and Social

with a view to matrimony."
These words are the ending OF good
many advertisements = principally
under the head OF Personals"-in
the New York papers, and there are
quite enough evil results therefrom
to justify legal enactment for their
suppression. To advertise for a hus-
band or wife may seem to be quite as
legitimate as to advertise for a man
servant or woman servant, and
there would be less trouble IL all the
world were honest and wise, but there
is the hitch. Some young people in
dulge in this advertising, and the COR
respondence which likely follows it,
for amusement, and some are simple
enough to find a romantic element in
It and are led to their own ruin. In
stances have been known where girls
have married men who already had
wives and families. But few days
ago the story was told OF the marriage
Of young lady of good family with
plausible, but flashy man, with
whom she had had correspondence,
brought about in this way. He
turned out to be gambler, and in q
few weeks she was forced to return
to her fathers house. Another story
is told OF widow who was thus
wooed by "hotel proprietor" She
went some hundreds OF miles ONLY to
find that her Adonis was a waiter.
Advertising is glorious institution.

any other.

The REPUBLICAN,
The BivOuac Of the Dead.
BY COL. rHEopoRE o.HARA.

The mufIied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards with solemn round
The biyouac of the dead.
No rumors of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
Nor troubled thoughts and midnight haunts
OF love ones eft behind,
Nor visions OF the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn, no screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shr0ud--
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms by battle gashed
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blades,
The bugles stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful connonade,
The din and shout are passed,
Nor Wars wild notes, nor Glsry's peal,
shall thrill with fierce delight
These breasts that never more may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like .ne fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Come down the serried foe.
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of the dav
Was Victory or death :"
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers breast
On many q bloody shield,
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch By
The hero,s sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear is the blood you gave
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrels vo,ceful stone,
In deathless song shall tell,
When many q vanished year hath flown,
The story how You fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, now winters blight,
Nor Times remOrseless doom,
Can dim one ray of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

Measure for Measure:

Not long ago he of the pack chanced
upon his Journey to stop at the house Of
a well-to-do farmer. "Would the mad
am wish to look at my goodsT enquired
the peddler, as the woman of the house
answered his respectful summons at the
door. 'Well, yes, don't mind if / do.
Have you got any linen table clothsP'
''Yes" he had; and without more ado he
unfastened his burden and spread the
stock before her gaze. The woman ex-
amined the table cloths very closely,
asking the price of them, and altogether
she managed to detain the man about an
hour. Finally she said: Il bought some
in Ithaky yesterday, and 1 only wanted
tosee if them dry goods men eheateo me-
With commendable good nature, the
disappointed fellow re-packed his goods
and went his way. A month or so passed,
and once more he knocks at the same
farmers door, this time not to sell but to
buy. "Can you get me up first class
dinnerP he asked. Something good;
I've got money and want to see your
best" The woman of the house BUSTED
at a lively rate, the vision OF q g4ou
fee for the meal lending alacTity 70 he5
movements, and presently she retuIhea ss
10 the room where the peddler was WAll-
ing, and announced that dinner was
ready. He walked out tothe dining room,
puts on a pair Of goggles, and critically
inspects the viands. After probing the
steak, and turning the eggs, and shifting
the coffee, he turned to the astonished
female and remarked: Il don't want
"anything;" I just paid for my dinner at
the house below, and thought I'd find
out whether they cheated me-" And
grabbing up his bundle he managed to
dodge out Of the door before the irate
woman could reach him,

a BIT Of Married Experience.

I married my wife about thirty-five
years ago. The ceremony was perform
ed about seven o'clock in the morning.
Before retiring that evening we had a
good talk with each other, and the result
has sWaetened our entire lives. We
agreed that each should always be watch
full and careful never, by word or act, to
hurt the feelings of the other. We were
both-young, hOt-tempered, both positive
in cur likes and dislikes, and both some
what exacting and nfiexible-just the
material for life Of conjugal warfare.
Well for a few years we found it hard
work to always live by our agreement.
Occasionally mot often) a word or look
would slip off the tongue or face beforei it
could be caught or suppressed; but we
never allowed the sun to 20 down upon
our wrath. Before retiring at night on
such occasions there was always eonfes-
sion and forgiveness, and the culprit
would become more careful in future.
Our tempers and dispositions became
gradually more congenial, so that after
few years we came to be one in reality, as
the marital ceremony had pronounced us
nominally. In thinking back we hnd
that for more than twenty years our
little agreement has been unbroken, ana
there has been no occasion for CONCESSION
and forgiveness. In business We nave
had adversely and prosperity, Iallure y, allo
success. We raised family OF cnlioran,
and now have our grandchildren about
us: and we are simple enough to believe
that we have better children, and better
grandchildren because Of ouElitfieRqree-
ment. Under such contract reliGous-
lv kept, no ill-natured children win be
reared, and no boys will find the streets
and bar.rooms more pleasant than home.
To make good wife or a good husband
requires the cooperation of both.

The History Of AshtabuIa County

While few of the subscribers for the
county history are using their influence TO
injure both il and its authors by decrying
them, we are glad to find that the friends
of the work and its authors estimate at its
true value the grounds Of this ungenerouS
and unmsnly spirit that thus seeks to in
fiiet private and pecuniary injure for the
qualification of an unworthy and unwhele-
some feeling. The first article is from the
Geneva Times and the other from the
Cleveland EsGdsr.E - tLEf -
This work lately published by Williams
Brothers, is receiving good deal of atten-
ton. Parties who know but little Of what
they are writing about are sending letters
to the weekly and daily papers, ridiculing
the work and charging fraud upon the
proprietors Of it. There is another side to
this subject Fair criticism of the book is
admissible and proper, but this. we are
sorry to note, Is not INDUCED in to any
considerable extent. The book, we believe,
is what the people bargained for, substan-
TALLY. Its department of general history
is excellent, its military department is as
good as the records in the Adjutant Gener-
afs Office Of the State, frnm which it was
taken affords, and if there are errors and
omissions, the fault is not with the authors
of the book. The biographical sketches of
our prominent men-Giddings, Wade,
Wilder, &C., &C., are invaluable. That
some things might have been omitted. and
the space supplied with more valuable mat
ter, is probably true. Some of the special
ties might have been cuTtailed, and the
histories of the several townships elabor-
ated. That part of the work which is OF
an advertising nature might properly have
been grouped together at the end OF the
book. But, taken as a whole, the work is
a valuable one to Ashtabnla county people
and they ought to be little grateful that
they have got so good a history OF their
county, when the chances of getting one
of any description had failed them entire
". The complaint at the price OF the
book is not well grounded when it is con-
sidered that the undertaking was purely
local in its nature There could be but
one edition. There was bat one field to
sestin. But for what the proprietors could
realize from views and portraits IN addl-
ton, the work could not have been pre-
pared at even ten dollars per copy. NO
doubt many who subscribed for the work,
afterwards found the tight times aSainst
them, and did not know how to spare the
ten dollars. Some tried to get rid Of their
obligation by charging fraud or breach OF
contract on part of Williams Brothers, or
their agents, while some who paid the price
grudginglY, aided afterwards to spread
feeling adverse to the book. 1t may be
true that the authors have not been free
from fault in their dealings with some OF
our people, but the trouble is not altogeth-
er on one side. When the the present gust
Of unreasoning passion has gone by, the
value Of our county history will begin to
be appreciated.
