To the New Year.

BIZ PAUL MICHEL.
Another year of Life is spent.
To mingls with the past
Another year. Of whose intent
We nothing know. 10 Us s. sent,
And holds our dreaming fast.
To thee. New Year. with questiOning gaze
Our vision oft is turned:
But All within the mystic maze
u wrapped In Hopes slIuring haze.
And We are still unleErned-
UnIearned Of all that lies within
Thy futures secret hold,
Uncertain what we may begin,
50 swift the vhirl, 80 loud the din
or Life, on seconds rolled.
And ye. hope in thee, New Year,
With upward leaning trust:
The promise that in thee rear
Is builded firm-apart from fear
And DOubting's cankered rust.
And every month shall add share
Unto = gsntIer mood,
And pride that in the past lay bare
Shall walk in vestment meek a. fair.
In paths Of highest good.
Then shall the heart that hath its mate
To I0veliest themes aspire;
Not angels pure from heavens own gate
ON sunless care in love may wait
With tenderer desire.
In thee, New Year. these trusts of mine
Shall end as seemeth best:
My faith in Hopes rejecting shrine
Beholds the light Of JOY in thine.
And all beyond is rest.
Welcome. new hersld-blithely blow
Our vainer thoughts away
Welcome. with Summers roseate glow
Hail to the sweets thy bounty's flow
New Year, all hail to-day

The Election.

E 49,
The contest formunicipal and town
ship officers on Monday last, was one
of the most spirited and we may add,
most sober and quiet, that ever took
placein Eaton. From early morn un-
til midnight the voting places were
crowded with candidates, cleo
~tioneerers and anxious anticipants
awaiting the result, and when the
counting was finished aud the result
announced, everybody seemed 10 be
in a good humor and a general shout
of applause went up from the crowd.
The successful gentlemen arc all good,
sober, moral and competent. men, and
the citizens can congratulate them
selves upon the excellent selection
from the mixture of names. L. is the
same ticket we published last week,
and which Bro. Williams announced
was .'made in a dark hoie," with the
exception Of THos. Noe, for Corpora
tion Treasurer, who beat JOHN I.
HOLMES by forty votes, and WIN. R1s-
NIGER, as one of the Township Trus-
tees, who beat SAMUEL SK1LEs by
seven votes. We regret the defeat of
Judge CAMPBELL, as a member of the
School Board, who was beaten by on
ly seven votes by DR.. p. M. SMALL.
Mr.. Campbell took a deep and lively
interest in our schools and should
have been returned as one of the
Board. We. give below the success

mt. Carroll Seminary.

We paid a visit to this Institution
last week, which is beautifully located
in a healthy and productive country
66 miles north of Rock Island, on the
Western Union railway, 4 mile from
the fourishing little village of Mi.
Carroll, Ill. This female institution
is probably n among the most pop
ular and best schools of learning in
the west, and under The superior man.
agement of Mrs. f. A. NJ. SINNER,
the Principal and Proprietress, and
her excellent corps of assistants,
it bears a reputation second to none
Iother in the country. Its beautiful,
healthy and plain surroundings make
it a comfortable home for the schol-
airs. There are no fashions, fnrbe-
lows and toolishness of the day en-
couraged in it-no trinkets, trails and
trashy styles around OIL about-but all
is neat, pleasant and comfortable, and
when the young Miss leaves the
school, instead of her intellect being
dwarfed and dizzy with the nonsense
of the times, it is stored with sound,
useful and general information. In
June next, the 18th anniversary of
this institution, under the motherly
are of the Proprietress, will be cele-
brated, and close for the term.
and Mrs. S. can look back upon these
twenty-five years ofincessant toll and
care in bringing this institution of
learning to perfection, as q bright
epoch in her useful life. May she live
long to enjoy it.

Nearly one.third Of all pupils en-.

Nearly one-third of all pupils n
rolled for the last term of our schools
in Eaton, were present every day and
every half day. When parents take
such interest in their children, the
schools must flourish and progress.
1t also speaks well for our Superin-
tendent and teachers.
We are under many obligations to.
our fat friend, II. c. WHITRIDGE, Esq,
Auditor Of the Rock Island and Peoria
railway, for a pleasant drive through
the Rock Island Arsenal grounds,
while in that fourishing city last
week. These grounds are within
sight of the city, and under the super
vision of the late Gen. RoDMAN, were
beautifully and handsomely laid out
and improved, which has made them
not only a~ttractive,b but one of the most
important and prominent military
posts in the United States.
an the bright lexicon of the Eaton
city youth there is no such word as
work" A hapless life in the future
presents ITSELF to a rejecting mind
when boys from len to eighteen years
of age are left to their "own sweet
will' to play and romp about the
streets with no aim in life. The re-
sponsibility rests on the parents, and
not with the boys. off a boy won't
work, he won't work when q man."
Give them employment, or the "dev-
il will find something for their idle
hands to do"
After the counting outof the Cor
poration vote OH Monday night last,
the boys got out the cannon to fire
over the election of MIKE Ryan, and
crammed it so full of sod, clay and
other material, that after several
rounds the nee bursted and flew
into an hundred fragments, severely
cutting and bruising Frank Smith on
the right arm and about the head.
The wounds though painful, we are
glad to say are not serious. We have
always opposed any such fo~olishness
over the result of an election, and we
now hope there will be no more of it
in our midst.

An Astonishing Fact.
ROYAL. GOLDEN

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the eff
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable peo-
pie is most alarming, making life actu-
ally a burden instead of a pleasant ex-
istence of enjoyment and usefulness as
it ought TO be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the adj
vice of Druggists and your friends, and
try one bottle of Green's August Flow
er. Your speedysrelief is certain. Mil
lions of bottles of this medicine have
been given away to try its virtues, with
satisfactory results in every case. You
can buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to
try. Three doses will relieve the worst
case. Positively sold by all Druggists
on the Western Continent.
