A Word 10 Learners.

We would not like to have the
young people of the school look up
on what we have TO say as advice,
but as II way TO express the interest
we take in them and their progress.
AS believers in the Christian re-
ligion, we must not only think OF
them in the morning of life, but
think of the oldest inhabitant or
the very aged person as but in the
early dawn Of existence, therefore,
during the longest life there is lit
tic enough time TO acquire knowl-
edge.
Those that make the most Of the
few short years Of school, will be
the wise ones in all their course,
and the sooner get possession ol
themselves by preparing well the
material out Of which men and
women OF work and influence are
formed; and such we may just as
well have here as elsewhere.
The first requisite of pupils on
entering school-room is TO feel O
hearty good will toward the teach
crs-the friends and companions az
well as guides in their studies. No
one outside the school-room can
know how grateful TO the heart Of
the weary teacher is even a flower
from little child; how much more
grateful the kindness and consider
alton that ii shown by older pupils
The recollections Of the virtues b
instructors, rank next 70 parents in
the hearts Of most, who have left
their youth behind them.

Those who are educated in the
public schools early become sup
portcrs of q national institution
and III n sense become citizens and
have responsibilities, May they
see to it that only the better side of
of them is trained and cultivated;
they can well afford to let the other
side remain idle and ndeveloped.
In this way the Golden Age of in
hucncc would soon be ushered in.
Ia the school room each ono
should govern himself and have all
the time for learning,
1t remains very much with tho
scholars whether they have u high
school or not, high from the lowest
class to the highest, in all that
builds up the reputation of u
school
In these days when SO much is
said about patriotism, it should
make every boy and girl proud of
their birth and mcito in them n
n determination to maintain in
honor all its institutions, ono
Of which is their own school.

Can Dodgeville afford to give aid
for the extension Of this road2

two hip pockets and a watch fob,
and double spring buttons with red
leather on to turn up behind and
the man who couldn't distinguish
the difference between two such

chairman of committee TO pre-
pare plans and specifications for a
lunatic asylum; but such a man
would not be competent to draft a
plan for a cupola to n chicken coop

thousand years.
A man who never got from
Dodgeville to Mineral Point in any
other manner than being hauled as
freight by the teamsters may not
be any more capable Of estimating
the benefits and financial saving
that Il railroad would afford, than a
tombstone is Of calculating with
chronological exactncss the period
of time that is to intervene before
the resurrection; but he ought TO

Make an estimate for yourself:
There ARE from five to ten teams
every day in the year, except Sun
days-a full average of 5 teams for
3l3 days in the year, and they
average for pay more than $3.50
each, per day Then you have 3

Look at your figures now, then
think about your kentucky jeans

there is rs much difference between
paying u large bonus and having Il
good railroad in Dodgcvillc, and
the old method of teaming, ms there
is between Il pair of fine satin we'd
ding brecehes, and Il pair made out
of the cheapest brand of mosquito
bar.
But if the people Of Dodgcville
intend to quit business, and eat all
the butter, eggs, chickens, hogs,
wheat, corn, oats, cattle, lead, zinc
ore, hides, pelts, and rags, them
selves, then they don't need a rail
road for anything except TO bring in
oysters and frc-crackers. Rut II
the people Of Dodgoville harbor the
intention Of remaining in business
for at least twenty-five years longer
they can well afford to aid the
building of the railroad with at
least 100000, and then have enough
money left TO pay the freight on
their goods for that time, and buy

The narrow gauge road is dead
now, and the estate will be settled
as soon as the heirs can agree on Il
division of its old clothes. They
held u post mortem on it n few days
ago, and after u most profound
medical inquiry, determined that
il died of vacuum of the spine.

4 Georgetown man while going
to the cellar to split kindling wood,
fell and broke his neck. What a
conscience that mans wife must
have, when she reflects that by
not splitting the kindlmg wood
herself she fastened her husbands
death, 1t is terrible.
1t is rumorod that the green-
hackers and democrats in tho
Maine legislature propose to unto
aud count out the newly elected
republican senators and assembly,
men. That would be TO cruel.
The man appointed to fill Chan
dlcrs place declined to accept tho
office, and another had to bo ap-
pointed. The men who refuse
Y. Senatorships these days, when
Pacific railroads are to bo built,
are very rare, We doubt If there
is man in Wisconsin That would
decline n senatorahip. That is,
Boss Keys might, but such men
are mighty skace.
The Grant boom Mt Chicago liz
over, thank heaven. 1t was sort
of protracted meeting, and while
IT looked like n spontaneous out
burst of hero worship, along Mt
first, before that session closed tho
next week, the footprints of poll
iticlans began TO be observed, and
there is little doubt now that Grant
expects to be the coming presidcn-
tial candidate. Well, however il
turns out, We do not regret stand
ing on one foot for three hours, on
q dry goods box, in front Of u store,
70 sec Mr.. Grant ride by. II was
real enjoyable, though rough on
corns.
Gov. Smith was relieved of
$3.50 at the Grant reception ut
Galena. This il evidence to us
that Mr.. Smith is not as great q
statesman as Mr.. Ludington. Mr..
Ludington was relieved of dia-
mond, at Chicago as was supposed
but when the thief attempted to,
utilize it he found that it was an
Onalaska diamond, not worth 4
dollar. Had Mr.. Smith been
statesman ho would have had q
wad Of counterfeit bills in his
pocket for the pickpocket TO feast
upon. Our admiration for Mr..
Ludington will never cease.
1t is announced that Ben Butler
has joined Moderation Temper
ance Society" Is IL one Of the
kind of temperance societies where
q man does not drink unless he
feels as though he ought TO take
something2
The Chicago papers are giving
Col. Villas, Of Madison, so much
taffy over his scholarly address at
tho Grant reception, that the Sun
refrains from joining in for fear Of
making him proud. No man has
had more slobbering done over him
by newspapers since Daniel
Wcbster's time. But he is q sensible
man and will not lay ii up against
the papers.

HDORA LYNToN, Dora Lynton- I

Although this little soliloquy showed
that the speaker had good opinion of
herself, yet Diogenes himself must have
pardoned such very justifiable conceit,
and also confess that the unknown,
"he" had been sorely tempted to COM
init the crime of loving.
The pure sunshine was streaming in
through the open windows of Dora
Lynton's dressing-room, forming all
sorts of mosaic patterns on the colored
mattings that the whimsical little lady
chose to have instead of carpets, and
lighting up the pink and white hangings
that made the apartments fitting bow
er chamber for the fairy-like figure seat
ed at the dressing-table.
AS a rule, Dora was seldom troubled
with any superfuous energy, but that
afternoon she was more idle than usual:
her dinner toilette had been completed,
and her maid dismissed full an hour and
still she sat in the attitude she had as
sumed when Myers had left the room,
her head resting on one hand, and her
eyes fixed, with something of an admir-
ing glance, on the reflection of her fea-
lures in the large looking-glass before
her.
At length her reverie was put to an
end by the sound of the second dinner
bell, and rising from her seat, she re-
peated the words
"Dora Lynton, Dora Lynton, L think
he loves you"
Dora tripped down stairs to take her
place at the head of the dinner-table,
where her father and Morley Osborne =
the he" of her soliloquy-were already
seated. Both gentlemen looked up with
smile as she entered, and Morley
sprang to her chair, which was already
placed at the correct angle, but Dora
knew as well as he did that he consider
