. COMING HOME.
Bright Prospects for the Coming Sea-

Bright Prospects for the Coming Sea-
son.
The appearance of wagons loaded with
trunks on the streets Is cheerful evidence
that our people who have been absent during
the summer are coming home. At the win
dows OF the fine mansions up town are seen
here and there blooming faces that have
brought with them the freshness and sweet
ness of the mountain breezes and the rich
color with which autumn-rare artist that he
is-bepaints the myriad forest leaves.
The few who have returned, like the first
swallows Of summer, look shy and lonely,
but when the thousands who are preparing
for O homeward move, come lying back In
fiocks, they will "rutfle their feathers" In
gayer mood and the season will be inaugu-
rated.
The dark shadow which hung over the city
In the face Of 1878 has passed away, and the
season OF 1879 will open with the brightest
prospects. There will be routs and all sorts
OF social festivities, and the carnival season
will be ushered In with greater eelat than
any time since the war.
We have had enough of sadness and gloom;
let US now, on the eve OF what promises to be
an era Of prosperity put away all feelings Of
dependency and look the world cheerfully
and hopefully In the face. Each Individual
can contribute something to this end by be-
coming for the nonce at least an optimist.
Cheerfulnes5 and hopefuness are always
better than gloomy misgivings and despon-
dancv

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

Graus English Opera Company commenced
an engagement at the Academy Of Music last
night, opening with and producing for the
first time in this city Suppe's comic opera
Fatlnitza.
It proved to be one OF the most charming
and entertaining operas which has appeared
OF late years, and we predict for 1t a great
success In this city.
The plot 10 interesting and absorbing. and
there Is no Indication OF the character OF its
elimination until the last scene In the last
act, there is q rich and uninterrupted vein Of
humor from the beginning to the end and the
music Is pleasing and attractive, and at times
grand.
The company last night, fatigued as the
members were from a recent journey, and
the opera very artistically and satisfactory,
and merited the frequent applause with which
the large audience testified It's appreciation.

WANToN DESTRUCTION OF FISH.

In conversation recently with a resident Of
the island Of Grand Terre, near Grand Isle, a
DEMOCRAT reporter learned OF a willful and
criElinal destruction of fish by the profession
III fishermen who frequent that portion OF the
coast. It appears that the only member Of
the piscal tribes valued by these fishermen
are the large shrimp, and when seine
rs drawn ashore, laden with pompano
and others OF the most delicate fish OF the
0aif waters, the shrimp are carefully
extracted and the residue of the seine

ton of valuable fish, which, ii not desired by
aeine men, could be as easily returned to their
native waters, but 1t causesaa foul and otfen-

Heart-stOne Reflections.

ADVICE TO MARRIED PERsoNs.-Marry
in your own religion.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Let kiss be the prelude of rebuke.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
Let self-abnegation be the habit of
both.
81 forgot" is never an acceptable ex-
cuse.
If you must criticise, let it be done
lovingly.
Make marriage a matter of moral
judgment.
Marry in family which you have
long known.
Never make remark at the expense
of another.
A good wife is the greatest of earthly
blessings.
Give your warmest sympathies for
each others trials.
Never talk at one another either at
home or in company.
If one is angry, let the other part the
lips only for kiss.
Neglect the whole world beside, rather
than differ with one another.
Marry into different blood and tenn
permanent from your own.
Always leave home with loving words
for they may be the last.
Never find fault unless perfectly GER
tain fault has been committed.
Never deceive, for the heart once
misled can never trust wholly again.
1t is the mother who moulds the
character and fixes the destiny of the
child.
Do not herald the sacrifices you
make to each others taste, habit or
preferences.
A hesltating or grim yielding to the
wishes OF the other always CRATES upon
a loving heart.
Consult one another in all that comes
within the experience, observation, or
sphere of the other.
Those who marry for physical char
acteristics or external consideration will
fail of happiness.
Those who marry for traits OF mind
and heart will seldom fail of perennial
springs of domestic enjoyment.
CARELESS WIvEs.-It is very common
to hear the remark made Of a young
man, that he is so industrious and so
economical, that he is sure to be thrifty
and prosperous. And this may be very
true OF him so long as heremalns single.
But what will his habltual prudence
avail him against the careless waste and
extravaganza of an uncalculatlng, I'M
thinking wife? He might as well be
doomed to spend his strength and life
in attempting to catch water IN a sieve.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1879-04-03
The Student of UpsOIa.

Mrs. Mary Hewitt, in her "Llfe of
Frederick Bremen" tells the following
story, which is SO pleasant and good
that it ought to be true, although it is
by no means new:
There was, in the early part of this
century, a young student lately come
to Upsala, the son of poor widow,
who was standing with some Of his col
lege companions in one Of the public
walks on a fine Sunday morning.
AS they were thus standing, the young
daughter of the governor, good and
beautiful girl, was seen approaching
them on her way to church accompa-
MED by her governess.
Suddenly the widows son exclaimed:
Il am sure that young girl would give
me kissW
His companions laughed, and one Of
them, rich young fellow, said:
cit is impossible! Thou, an utter
stranger, and in a public thoroughfare!
1t is too absurd to think of"
Nevertheless, / amconfdent of what
| say" returned the other.
The rich student offered to lay heavy
wager that. so far from succeeding, he
would not even venture to propose such
a thing.
Taking him at his word, the poor
student, the moment the young lady
and her attendant had passed, followed
them, and politely addressing them,
they stopped, on which, in a modest
and straightforward manner, he said,
speaking to the governors daughter:
cit entirely rests with Froken to make
my fortune"
How SOP" demanded she, greatly
amazed.
81 am a poor student" said he, "the
son of widow. If Froken would
condescend to give me kiss, [ should
win large sum Of money, which, en-
aiding me to continue my studies.
would relieve my mother of a great
anxiety"
eff success depend on SO small a
thing" said the innocent girl, 81 can
but comply" and Herewith, sweetly
blushing, she gave him kiss, just as if
he had been her brother.
Without a thought Of Wrong-doing,
the young girl went to church, and
afterward told her father of the en-
coun ter.
The next day the governor summoned
the bold student to his presence,
anxious to see the sort of per-
son who had thus dared to accost his
daughter.
But the yong mans modest demeanor
at once favorably impressed him. He
heard his story, and was so well pleased
that he invited him to dine at the castle
twice a week.
In about a year the young lady mar
ried the student whose fortune she had
thus made, and who, is at the present
day one of the most celebrated Swedish
philologists. His amiable wife died
few years since.

The effort would be hardly less certainly
IN vain. Habits of economy, the ways
to turn everything in the household af-
fairs to the best account-these are
among the things which every mother
should teach to her daughters. With
out such instructions those who are
poor will never become rich, while those
who are now rich may become poor.
A SORRY FELLow.-Girls, will you
listen to few words of advice? Done
marry if you cannot find suitable
husband, for bad husband is infinitely
worse than none. Never marry fell
low who is ashamed. to carry small
bundle, who lies in bed till breakfast,
and until his father has opened his shop
or office, and swept it out; who trequents
taverns, bowling alleys, prize fights, etc. !;
who owes his tailor, shoemaker, jeweler,
barber, printer and landlady, and never
pays his debts: who is always talking
about his acquaintance, and condemn
ing them; whose tongue is always rum
ming about nonsense; who thinks he is
the greatest man in the neighborhood.
and yet whom everyone despises and
SiAhAhos w sd al 1NIAOh
with all or any of these qualifications,
no matter how handsome he is or how
agreeable he can make himself on oc-
casions. He will make bad husband.
KEEP IT TO YOURSELF have
trouble-your feelings are injured,
your husband is unkind, your wife frets,
your home is not pleasant, your friends
do not treat you fairly, and things in
general move unpleasantly. Well, what
of it? Keep it to yourself. A smould-
ering fire can be found and extinguish-
ed; but when the Goals are scattered,
who can pick them up? Bury your
sorrow. The place for sad AMI disgust
ing things is under the ground. A cut
finger is not benefited by pulling off the
plaster and exposing it under some
body's eyes; tie it up and let it alone.
1t will get we'll itself sooner than you
can cure it. Charity covereth multi
tude of sins, Things thus covered are
often cured without a scar; but, once
published and confded to meddling
friends, there is no end to the trouble
they may cause. Keep it to yourself.
Troubles are trancient, and, when a
sorrow is healed and past. when COM
fort it to say, "No one ever knew it
until it was all over.''
