Baron G.. +. Kolh, a German stattst;-
clan, has recently published the results
Of his researches upon the duration OF
life in countries where records of this
character are kept with some approach
to accuracy. His figures show conclu-
sively that every advance in healthful
and profitable labor, in morality and in
useful knowledge, increases the lon
gevity of the people. Baron Kolb gives
statistics which are startling in the
enormous difference of the morality
rates they disclose; for they show that
while among infants sucked by their
mothers 1872 per cent. die during the
first year, no fewer than eighty per
cent. die among those brought up in in
siitutions. The influence of the anxiety
of providing for blre subsistence is
potent factor in shortening the lives of
the laboring classes, for the baron finds
that, taking a thousand we'll per-
sons and the same number of poor per-
sons. At the end of five years there viii
remain of the prosperous 943, of the
poor only 655, a difference which goes
on increasing, until at the end of seventy
years the numbers will be respectively
234 and sixty-hve. The average dura-
tion of life among the prosperous he
puts at fifty years; of the poor at thirty
two years

When the san went silently down,
And the June bug bright in the starry night
Flew merrily through the town.

That blew from the balmy South,
And red were the lips and sweet ths
That took from the pretty mout
Her tiny waist was encircled
By my arm so strong and true.
Said I, ".Whose ducky are you, love :"
Yours" she murmured, "and whose ure

Oh, the hsllowed hours Of that eveniIg
Oh, the cruel caprice Of fate.
Her father, unkind, came up from bel ino,

Lire,s True Significance.

Deeper than all Eense of seeing
Lies the secret source of being, ~
And the soul with truth agreeing,
Learns to live in thoughts and deeds;
For the life is more than raiment,
And the earth is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Nature Is our common mother,
Every living man our brother,
Therefore let as serve each other;
Not to meet the laws behests,
But because through cheerful giving
We shall learn the art of living;
And 10 live and eerve is best.
Life is more than what man fancies
Not a game of idle chances;
But IL steadily advances
Up the the rugged heights of time,
TIL each complex web OF trouble,
Every sad hopO's broken bubble,
e Hath meaning most sublime.
More of religion, lees OF ofprofession
More Of firmness. less concession;
Moro Of freedom, less oppression,
In the church and in the state;
More Of life and less Of fashion,
More ofloye and less Of passion;
That will make us good and great.
When true hearts divinely gifted,
From the chaff of error gifted,
On their crosses are uplifted,
Shall the world most clearly see
That earth's greatest time Of trial
Calls for holy self-denial,
Calls on men to do and be.
But forever and forever
Let it be the souls endeavor
Love from hatred 10 dissever,
And in whatsoe'er we do,
Won by loves eternal beauty,
To our highest sense of duty
Evermore be firm and true.

The Southern States suffered largely
from the drought, and tbs corn crop in
Kentucky reaches only 40, 50O,6 600 in
1881 against 86,039,000 in 1880. Ten
nessee reports a shortage of forty-eight
per cent.-Virginia and Texas forty per
cent and nearly the same for West
Virginia. Altogether the corn crop Of
the United States of 1851 is short about
one-third of usual yield.

The obituary notice of the estimable

7. Of Wis. appeared in the Chippewa
Co2nty independent of last week.
We sympathtze deeply with Bro.
Phillips and his two orphan children

and the family most agreeable and
happy one. Rev. Phillips is large

EITHER run your town with vim
or just sell out and leave it. Men
who are all the time trying to get out
Of business or out of town. will never
try to build up either. One Of the
two things should be done-push
things; find means or way to put
some 90 ahead into the business; run
the town for all there is in it, get up
steam-and keep it up, or all else
quit the whole thing; slide out and
let nature have her own way. Do
you want trade? Bid for it. Do
YOU want business men to come to
your town. Encourage those who do
come Do you want a prosperous
town where people can come who are
disposed to make homes Then do
away, bury from sight, all local diff
ferences, all jealousy, all spite; work
no more for a few individuals but
work together for common property
and for a mutual benefit. Wake up.
rub your eyes, roll up your sleeves
and go for it. Don't go to work with
fear and trembling, but take it for
granted that work will tell. Leave
results to themselves; borrow no
trouble, but all unite and make the
biggest kind of try.

Cane Presentation

dpOot my nOHlreIo VI VIC NonS
Church Society gathered together at
the residence of DR.. G. F. Witter'
preparatory to going to II. B. PhilIeo's
residence for a surprise on II. B. P.
Mr. Philleo and family were all seated
about the fireside as the friends enter
ed the house and all seemed to be com
pletely over taken as the party entered.
After the guests relieved themselves OF
their hats and cloaks, and were COM
fortably seated in the sitting-room
Rev. Norris stepped up before Mr..
Philleo and presented him with a nice
gold headed ebbony cane, in the fol
lowing language:
Ny dear Brother Philleo, it affords
me much pleasure to present you, in
behalf of your friends in Grand
Rapids and Centralia, this beautiful
cane; as slight token of their esteem
for you as man, as citizen and as
a brother in Christ; and, particularly as
expressive of their high appreciation
of your valuable services, rendered
through many years, as Chorister OF
our Church.
We sincerely hope that it may be
the Lords will that you and your
dear family shall remain, through q
long period yet future, to cooperate
with us in building up the Redeemer' RS
Kingdom in this place. But if in God:
providence you should remove to g
distant part of the country, as you
contemplate doing, we trust and
pray that you may be as efficient, zeal
Gus and helpful in Christ's service as
you have while here.
May you, Mrs. Philleo and ths
precious children, ever be the happy
recipients of Heavens choicest tenn
poral and spiritual blessings; and
ultimately with all the holy, be gather
ed safe home to our Fathers house il
the better land; there to sing more
sweetly, more loudly and more per
fectly, the praises of Him who il
"chiefest among ten thousand, the
altogether lovely, God over all anC
blessed foreYermore''.
In response Mr. Philleo made brie
remarks thanking the doners who haC
so taken him by surprise in the pre-
seutation of so beautiful gift. Hi
surprise was complete and his feeling
so oVercame him that utterance wa
almost impossible. AS he looked on
upon the gathering of choicest friends

children and who had grown to man ;

entertainment

The entertainment given on
Saturday evening by Miss Emma
Miller was well patronized, and we
think gave good satisfaction. Miss
Emma rendered all her pieces with
great ease and credit They were all
old pieces to most of the audience as
they were given by Miss Cross at her
first entertainment given in this city.
Bell Brunduge was well adapted to
the rendition Of Darius Green" and
it was heartily received by all. The
''Patomine Cinderella" by Miss Cross
and others, was something new to a
Grand Rapids audience, and was wei
received for the tableau rendition Of
it. The entertainment Melted Miss
Emma some S24.

Centralia z. NJ.

The plum .cherub who blows
the Russierville Busle, (misnamed
.'CentraIia Enterprise, y makes sew
eral mistakes in his mournful foot
over the loss of the post Office. He
mistakes himself to be of more i'm
portance than he is, either in Contra :
liza or elsewhere. He says the ''rin9'
hate him. Not SO. Decent people
who know him, including those he
calls the ring, simply depise him.
He says Mr.. Garrison is Objectionable
to them because he is related to him,
(Plum,) This is an error. People
are sorry for Garrison's misfortune in
this respect, but they do not blame
him. Plum says that reports were
circulated that Garrison used post
Office money improperly. No such
reports have been circulated, except
by Plum, and others like him, hoping
thereby to create belief that unfair
means were used-a species of false
hood for which Plum has long been
distinguished. On the contrary, it
has generally been understood that
Garrison kept Plum and his style OF
financiers out Of the post Office money
department, and therefor that the
money was honestly used.
The removal of Mr. Garrison and
the appointment Of Mr.. johnson were
asked by four ifths Of the Republicans
Of Centralia, and also by several other
voters and business men there, who
are not Republicans. They made no
accusation against Mr. Garrison as a
citizen or business man. They were
actlated in part by friendship for him.
They feel that he is in great danger
morally and financially by reason of
his exposure to the influences of Plum
and his associates. To remove the
post Office to another place will remove
one excuse for their hanging around
him, and thus greatly relieve Garrison.
Plum gives Mr.. johnson and Mr.
Garrison each Il certificate of good
character. Another grievous mist Ike,
although kindly meant, no doubt.
Neither of them needs certificate
from such a source Besides, Plum 5
certificates are incomplete unless
countersigned by Will Jackson.
Plum says some people have the
impudence to advocate peace and unity
in the community, while at the same
time they actually ask that Mr.. John
son be post master! Worse still, if
possible, the same unscrupulous ring
sters actually object to building a
Court House out in the Second Addi-
ton to Lyons Frog Pond Mis-
guided men Think you that peace
viii fold her wings and stay while
Plum has no post Office in his family,
and Reub's frog pond is without Court
House or Jail ? Not much Those
noble toilers for their country and
mankind must not be denied their re-
ward in the afternoon of their labori-
Gus lives Let justice prevail Let
Reub. have his Court House. Let
Plum have post Office for some mem
Der Of his family, while he insults and
bellies those who obtained it for him.
Let people be arrayed against each
other. Let one community be built
up, by tearing another down. Let
three or four men, without credit or
responsibility On their own account,
strive to become prominent by reason
of predjudice and hate their falsehoods
may excite against others. These
things will surely bring prosperity and
''peace.''
Special n otice.
