BLOOMINGBURG, FEB, / 1881.
EDS. HERALD: | notice that all the
papers Of our county seem to think that
Fayette county should have anew court
house, and the fact that our county
commissioners have purchased addi-
tiOnal grounds adjoining the "public
square," looks a little as though they
had designs in that direction. Now
what we want is fair shake in this
matter, and if you or some one interest
ed in the matter will answer the follow.
ing questions, it will materially aid us
in determining our ability to undertake
the matter:
l. What is the assessed value of the
real estate of Fayette county?
2. What is the assessed value of the
personal property of Fayette county?
8. What is the total assessed value of
the zeal and personal property of the
county?
4. What will be the probable cost of
courthouse, such as our county should
build?
5. What per cent. of the assessed
value of the real and personal property
Of the county would said probable cost
of a court house be if paid in one year !?
When we Changers see the answers
to the above questions in figures that
are approximately correct we will be
better able.tO determine our ability
to bear our share of the burden to build
a new court house.
Scarlet fever has prevailed to some
extent in this neighbOrhood, but is
gradually abating.
Mr.. Tom. PinkertOn brought his bride
Belle nee Timmons, home on Friday,
from Yellow Springs. Our springs are
sulphur.
Quite number of our citizens have
had severe falls on the ice, but without
serious consequences.
The long freeze has caused some suf-
fering among those families who were
dependent on their "days' work" for a
living. Their employers should now
be liberal with such. B.
lin reply to the questions of our
correspondent, above, we give the fol-
lowing figures: .
The assessed value of the real estate of
Fayette County is in round numbers.
$11, $780, 900, and of personal property
$4,000, 900, making a total of SIS, 5,OOO,-
900. A levy of l per cent. on the to-
tai amount Of the taxable property of
the county would raise a fund Of
$780, 900, which is the outside figure we
have heard mentioned as necessary to
expend in building a suitable Court
House for the county, while the lowest
estimate is 100000. There is fund
already in the Treasury out of which
the real estate required can be purchas-
ed. A total levy of $l5O,OOO, spread
out over FIVE years, would increase the
tax-rate to the amount of mills per
annum. EDS. HERALD

WHY MOTHER rs PROUD.

Look in his face, look in his eyes,
Roguish and blue. and terribly wise
Roguish and blue, but quickest to see
When mother comes in as tired as can be-;
Quickest to find her the incest old chair;
Quickest to get to the top of the stair;
Quickest to see that kiss on the cheek
Would help her far more than to chatter and
speak
Look in his face, and guess, if you can,
Why mother is proud of her little man.
The mother is proud will tell you this;
You can see it yourself in her tender kiss.
But why? Well, of all her dears 4
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she spe axis, and jumps to see
What her want or wish may be- Ill.,. ,5i
Scarcely one. I'll ey all forget,
Or are not in tn notion to quite yet;
But this he knows, If her boy is near,
There is somebody certain to want to hear.
Mother is proud, and she holds HIM fast,
And kisses him first and kisses him last,
And he holds her hand and looks in her face,
And hunts for Ter spool which is out Of it's place,
And proves that he loves her whenever he can,
That is why she is proud Of her little man.

the gold ife-saving medal to the famous Ida
Lewis, now Mrs. Ida Lewis Wilson, in recog-
milton of her services in rescuing number of
persons from drowning since the passage of

rescues made were under circumstances which
called for extreme and heroic daring and in

self. Her latest achievement was the rescue
last February of two fandsmen from Fort
Adams, near Newport, R. L The men were
passing over the ice near Lime Rock light
house, where Mrs Lewis Wilson resides, when
the ice gave way and they fell in. Hearing
their cries, Mrs. Wilson ran out with clothes

hauling them ont at great risk to herself from
the double peril of the ice giving way beneath
her; and Of being pulled in Her heroism on
various occasions has won her the tribute of

SAYINGS.

Written in the Style of Emerson, Alcott and
ThOreau.
From the Boston Transcript
Wherever we look we see the manifesto
ton of the finite infinite, no less in the
orbs OF heaven than in potato sprout.
That soul alone is master of itself which
can soar into the realms where God is, and
still feel its humanity. @.
Whether We look ut au elm tree or toad
stool, at q toad or an octopus, we are equal
ly astonished at the greatness of all little
ness.
Religion is the spirit of true knowledge
resolved into aesthetic correspondence with
the upward yearnings of the nan-so1l for
the God soul. ...
We must look up to heaven to see the
earth, and upon the earth to behold the
heavens, for it is only by Divine light that
we can see either. .-.'r. ~
We call this person man and that per-
son woman, but we must wait until we
are born into the infinite before we shall
comprehend their true distinction.
Restless mortals! why strain your ewes
when you know you cannot see? It is only
God who sees.
l love to be in darkness, for then only
does the light within me make everything
luminous. No man ever yet com pretended
the unbounded light there is in total dark
ness!
There is nothing like the shallowness of
perspicuity. 1t is but the mocke1y of
sense. The ideal is the only true real, for
all matter is spirit and all spirit is matter
Gas man thinketh so is he.'' We are
where the mind is. He whose thoughts
grasp the infinite is omnlpresent. The
true philosopher is the Goldman.
The true poet is the ono who writes with
out consciousness; whose ideas seize the
pen he uses and write from the Bible that
terminated in his own inwardness.

From that day a . new king arose over

cunningly among the leaves that Nathan and
Allis did not find it in the long summer at

them in their froic, wondering at herself
for electing play when work waited to be
done, feeling herself apostate to the faith of
her fathers, yet delighting in the fun of
these children, and rejoicing to see her son
so brown and hungry.
Then Doctor Allis had to say good by,
and betake herself to town, evolving what
she called her office from confusion of
books, pictures, flowers, patterns of wall
paper, white muslin, and the spoils of her
life abroad. When Nathan saw it, in No

fessional life for women underwent further
disintegration.

A WRITER in The Journal 'sknows the
source from which the article on Temple
Of Honorism, emanated, in the last edi-
lion OF The Pilot" and desires to express
''his opinion in relation to few of the
points stated therein He begins with
the startling statement, that ''the person
Is straying from the right track" If by
''the right track, " The Journal means the
narrow guage of prohibition, we plead
mot guilty." we have never been on that
track and hence can not stray from it.
The views expressed in last weeks Pilot
we have held ever since our connection
with the order. Hence we are guilty of
no inconsistency.
Having passed his Judgment upon us,
the writer attacks and impugns our mo-
tives, instead of giving reasons for the
faith that is in him. When any person,
in discussion, uses abuse III place of ar
gument, it Is generally a sign of weak
ness, always sign of meanness.
To The Journal it is evident that our
aspirations begin to extend to the Pol
iticaE -Arena Of the State, in more, than
simply local character" How this GU
rious conclusion is reached, remains an
unsolved and insolvable problem. But
to The Journal man it is also evident
that the writer of The Pilots article, ''is
Iaboring under the impression, that his
political chances are enhanced, by his
connection with the order; and takes this
narrow subterfuge to declare his non al
legiance." What a curious argument is
here presented by the learned writer
We have political Chances" these
"chaDces" are "enhanced," i. e. increas-
ed, by our connection with the 7. of 81. :;
therefore we leave that order. In other
words, the wise man of The Journal says
We are guilty of marrow subterfuge"
in declaring our non allegiance to an or
ganization, that. by enhancing our chan
ces, could perchance place us on the top
round of the political ladder.
Want of time and space forbid any fur
Their review of this literary curiosity. In
conclusion we would say, that although,
as one of those whom The Journal con-
descends to call the Dutch" we are no
authority on the English language, yet
it might be proper TO suggest to the
learned writer to always "say what you
mean;" or else, take the advice of the
Irish poet:

Your mind about matters you don't understand?
Oh why should you write yourself down for an

Of perpetual woe. Bridges are an item
of expense which frequently depletes the
treasury of that town and makes appeals
for county assistance necessary. The
bridge at the Branch has for long time
been in tottering condition and every
person who drove load over it did SO at
no inconsiderable risk. This year the
county is asked to contribute something
toward constructing good bridge at this
point, and in our opinion should favor

which the bridge is to be built is one
