Without courtcSicS alone we may iliuminc

which no gold cound purchacc. To he

sole as far rs in us liz, these are the crown
ing CraccS Of humani,y-and all these are
born Of kindness. II is anger, breeding
hate and conume'y, that has filled the
earth with misery and ruin. Anger be-
tween kindred and races, before which all
that is beautiful in man vanish $, leaving
only the wild, fierce animal of his being.
Families divided. frienls parted, commun-
tiles at fcud, and nation worring against
nation these are the fruits of anger. II
has beGottcn the fouleSt Ct crimes. But
kindness, in proportion as this has been
the ruling amoug men. peace and happi-
ness have followed. The lome-hearth has

Let us study and strive TO be kind, nc
matter how seemingly trivial the occasion,
nor how small the promised fruit. Its the
only language of our nature that is univer-
sal and irresistible.

Happiness.

Yes, it is happiness to be loved. 1t i,
happiness TO feel you are the one chosen
cherished image TO be shrined in the hear
forever. 1t is happiness to know there is
enc to whom you are more dear, more pre-,
cious than life itself-to whom your smile
is more precious than gold. Your voice
more sweet than music-one who would
rather follow you in trouble and sorrow,
even into death, than gain thewealth of the
world without yor-one who would fill his
daily cup from the same urn of life, or COM
plain that the draught was bitter. This is
happiness: and do we find it? Alas, alas.
1t is too often sought at the hands ofthe vain
and selfish, and after living awhile in an
imaginary paradise, and thinking it reality,
we see ii dissolve away before us like a
snow wreath in the sunbeams and then We
weep over our folly, and bear the rambling

HOME AND FARM.
Newspapers and their Mission.
S., Anf,,nin IipralI

Modern newspapers, that I'M
derstand their position in regard
to the public, cannot be used to
shield delinquents and will not
consent to suppress information
at the request of interested in
dividuals in any case. 1t is Il
general remark among journa-
lists that scarcely a criminal
case comes before the courts
without some attempt being
made by friends of the persons
implicated to secure the sup
preston of reports. Those
who get into difficulties with
justice in petty matters, must
learn to look up the publication
of their sentences as a part of
the punishment. tits often the
hardest part. To those who
are well-to-do fine is Il trifie
in comparison. The worthy
newspaper occupies a position
of public trust and it will pub
lish nothing from motives of
personal malice, but it cannot
suppress facts, for its very eXis-
tcncc and all its value depends
upon its full and faithful report OF
all that the public have a lcgiti-
mate right to know. 1t would
be well for society if the success
of the newspaper everywhere
depended equally upon its re-
lection of all that offends good
taste and the purity of public
morals; but in this respect, as
Whitelow Reid remarked at
the recent New York press as
sociation meeting, the newspa-
per press is not behind, but rath-
er in advance of public senti-
mcnt, for the leading journals
constantly refuse to pander to
depraved appetites which exist
especially in large cities, and
which offer a temptation most
generally and honorably resis-
ted.
Those who are unjustly &C
cused and dragged before the
courts find in the press a means
of setting themselves right, for,
from the publications made, in
formation often reaches persons
who can contribute by their
testimony to the vindication of
innocence. Generally speaking
all who feel aggrieved recognize
the influence of the press; and
while, like other instrumental
ties, it is not infallible it surely
does a thousandfold more good
than harm, and therefore, in pro-
portion to its fidelity to correct
principles and the conditions OF
its own wider usefulness, it de-

BEST FooD FOR PIGS.-Corn is undoubt-
eddy the very best food for making hogs
fat; hut it is far from being the best food
for producing healthy, strong growth OF
the entire muscular and bony structure.
Milk contains most of the elements OF
healthy growth for the pig, and to this corn
meal may be added a good food for
young pigs may be made by mixing mid
dlingS, oats and corn-meal in equal proper
tons. Another good ration may be made
by taking four parts oats, four parts corn,
and one part oil-meal; or six parts peas,
five parts corn, and one part fax-seed; and
many other palatable combinations may be
made that will promote healthy growth,
without an undue preponderence of fat.

Hints to Callers on the Sick,

1. Only call at the door, I'M
less you are sure your friend is
able to see you without harm.
?. Enter and leave the house,
and move about the room, quiz
city.
3. Garry a cheerful face, and
speak cheerful words.
4. In order to cheer, you need
tell no lies.
5. If your friend is very sick,
do not fall into gay and careless
talk in the attempt to be cheer
fu!.
6. Do not ask questions, and
thus oblige your friend to
talk.
7. Talk about something out
side, and not about the disease
and circumstances of the pa
tient.
s. Tell the news, but not the
list of the sick and dying.
9. If possible. carry some
thing with you to please the eye
and relieve the monotony ofthe
sick room; a flower, or even a
picture. which you can loan
for few days.
10. If desirable, some little
delicacy to tempt the appetite
will be well bestowed, but moth
ing could be more completely
illustrated of mistaken kindness
than the common custom of
tempting sick persons to eat
suck unwholesome things as rich
cakes. preserves, sweetmeats,
etc.
II. Stay only moment, or a
few minutes at the longest, I'M
less you can be of some help.

Western butter factories run
ming winter ahd summer, make
it hot for the old-fashioned New
York State dairy system.
They turn out butter by the car
load, of uniform quality, freshly
made, and transactions are often
made for a thousand packages
at a single sale. The reason for
the superior quality of western
butter is the fact that western
COWS are fed largely Oh the
heavy grain, oats and meal. and
never on the lighter feeds, as
bran, swill, etc, and this grain
feeding produces not only vol
ume, but richness, furnishing a
butter having the natural color
and quality desired and in de-
mand.

DODGE COUNTY.

JUNEAU, November Oath, 1879.
Mr.. A. S. Vanaelstyn has received the
appointment of postmaster at this place,
vice Jonathan G. Brown, removed for
cause.
Some evening last week baby was left
on the door step of the residence of DIR.
VOORHEES,, in the village of Oak Grove.
A roll Of greenbacks to the amount of
5000 accompanied the baby. The poor,
little wanderer will be kindly cared for.
The election of County Poor Superin-
tendent by the Board of Supervisors re-
suited in the choice of J. w. Terry, who
thus for the fourth time has been chosen
to the responsible position. L. Conner
and Warren Marston were the principal
competitors.
On Thursday morning at 10 o'clock,
Rev. HI. III. Wykoff, and Miss McCune,
both of this place, were united in marriage
at the Presbyterian Church by the Rev.
j. S. johnson, of Beaver Dam. The
bridegroom has for two years past been
the pastor of the Presbyterian church
here, which position he has now resigned
to the great regret of many friends. The
bride has for year past been teaching
school here. The young couple started
for trip to the far west, where they ex-
pect to settle. The best wishes of many
friends accompany them.
