WATERFOWL, Wis, Dec. Goth, 1882
EDITOR REPUBMCAN:-In reading the
last issue Of the Republican, was glad
to see that our city contained one person,
who had public spirit enough to advo-
cate the establishing of a "public library"
| have been informed, by parties we'll
posted upon the subject, that there is
money enough spent each year in Water
town, for such books and papers as Sat
ur,iay Night, Firesids Friend, Lake Side
Library, New York Ledger, Police News,
&c. to purchase library of 5000 volumes
Of good, intellectual aud moral books,
and the only way to eounteract the evil
influences of such literature, is to place
within the reach of the public, better
class of reading matter, where all can be
supplied at nominal sum, with something
that will lay the foundation for better
men and better women than the silly,
love-5ick stories of such papers as above
mentioned | believe it to be one of the
greatest dangers with which society is to-
day beset, and while we are thus Sowing
the wind, we shall later reap the whirl-
wiAd." was not long ago in city of
Wisconsin of from 5000 to 1000 inhabit-
ants, a city noted for its beautiful streets
and handsome residences. AS my stay in
the town was for few weeks l became
acquainted with the news-dealer, whom |
called on every day for my Chicago daily
and Harper's Monthly. One day while
| was iD his store, saw him open a large
packages of papers and my curiosity led
me to inquire what kind of literature the
people of the city usually read. I found
100 New York Ledgers, IS Fireside
Friends, good sprinkling of Police
News, Lake Side Library, &C., and while
there, several well-dressed ladies call, d
for the Ledger and some for their Fireside
Friends, 1 was much: astonished and ask
ed the news-dealer about it, and he told
me he only sold 5 Harper's Monthlies, 2
Scribners and one Atlantic Monthly.
Since that time there have been three
young ladies, members of the best society
eloped, and the young man Of the
town, those whose parents were able to
dress them we'll and provide them with
spending money learned frequent
ed saloons and were recognized as gam
blers by the knowing ones around town.
With such facts as these before the peo-
pie, and knowing that the same infu-
ences are at work here, is it any wonder
that we should be anxious to start pub
lie library? Let some one call a meet
ing and let this matter be fully discussed.
Yours,

1t is the general opinion that Water

than this year.

The cantata of Emmanuel rendered
by the Sunday School of the Congrsga-
tional church Saturday evening was well
attended and presented in a manner sat
isfactory to all present. OF course great
interest was centered in the Christmas
tree laden with its gifts for young and
old. All appeared to be well remember
ed by their friends on the happy occasion.
A woman Saturday evening hired
horse and cutter at the livery barn of \.
Humphrey saying she wished to distrib-
ute some Christmas presents. The rig
was not brought back that evening as
promised aud next day William Hum
phrey traced the horse and cutter to Fer
rey's barn at Oconomowoc, where they had
been left by two women Saturday night
with notice that Mr.. H. would call for
them. Mr.. Humphrey undoubtedly con-
siders it rather tough business to have to
run around the country picking up the
horses that he hires out.
We would refer our readers to the
prospectus of the Eclectic Magazine for
1888, to be found in another column.
The Eclectic is the peer of any periodical
in its line that is published anywhere,
and its pa1es appeal to the tastes of all
classes of intelligent readers. The Ec-
lectic selects from the leading foreign
publications and comprises each year two
large volumes of over 1900 pages. The
fine steel engraving in each volume is an
attractive feature of the Eclectic. Pub

The Next Congress

An exchange gives the following statemen
relative to the next Congress. From it, il
may be seen that the democratic claim ofcon
trolling that body is not well founded and that
the probabilities are that the Republicans will
maintain the ascendency IN that branch OF the
Congress. With the Senate already secured
after March next,it looks very muchas though
the administration will have Congress in
political sympathy with it:
The House of Representatives to be elected
this fall will consist of 1876 members thirty
two more than the present House. Of these
additional thirty-two fifteen will come from
Southern States, and are quite certain to in
crease the Democratic majority from that Sec
ton. Three Northern States lose member
each-Maine being one of them, and New
loss of the latter two will fall on the Republi-
cans, but in Maine they have already made up
for the loss of the member there. In the North
ern and Western States, where there is an in
crease of Representatives, the Republicans
are tolerably sure of fourteen members, while
six are in doub.-the latter being from Cali
fornia, Illinois, New York Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin. The Republican majority in
the present House is thirteen, so that if each
party elects the same number o. members it
has in this House, and in addition the new
members that it is sure Of and half of the doubt
full members, there will be 1877 Republican
and 147 Democrats, with eleven Independents
or Grecnbackers to spare. This would give q
Republican majority of nine over all, which
can be wiped away by the loss of five districts
In Ohio, Indiana Wisconsin, Illinois, Penn

sILEET GRIEFS.


There are signs unheaved, there are tears unwept
There are lutes unstrung, there are harps unswept
There are griefs unknown, there are thoughts un'
There are hearts that beat warm when they seen
but cold
There are loves unlost when they seem 80 dead;
There are wounds unseen that have not bled-
For the soul feels most whom In silence deep
1t lives unheard as the winds In their sleep.
There are sorrows very dark that o'ercloud our
way.
And that shade the heart in our life's glad day;
There are Joys unfelt there are hopes unfed;
There are pledges hushed there are VOWS unsaid;
There are flowers dead among the spring leaves;
There treasures lost among the golden sheaves;
There are memories sweet, and we love them well;
But the eye grows dim as their currents swell.
There are friendships gone like the dews Of morn;
There are smiles now turned to the coolest scorn;
There are dreams We loved:in the days gone by,
When the sun was warm, and 30 bright our sky;
That are past like spray on the oceans breast
When the storm has ceased and her waters rest
And the heart grows sad that its loves have fed,
That Its hopes are gone and its gariands dead.
There are scenes We knew that are faded now;
There are gathered wreaths and a shaded brow;
There are songs unsung that We loved to hear
When the heart was fresh and its pleasures near;
There are footsteps hid in the sands Of time;
There are voices Tiled in this earthly cline,
But the echoes come from the boundless shore
That lies beyond in the vast evermore.
There are prayers we breathe from the ones we
love
Whilst we linger here from our homo above,
Yet we smile to think that our grtefs win cease
And our hearts rejoice in an endless peace.
Far away, above the ethereal blue,
Where each soul is glad and each heart is true,
We will live in love, and her radiant beam
Will inspire the soul with heavenly dream.

A Plea for Your Wife.

Doyo know the secret anxieties and suf-
ferings of your wife? If you do not you
should. For years she has toiled indoors. She
has cooked and washed and sewed and busted
and swept and waited and watched for the
small pittance you have doled out to her. That
pittance has not been simply contemplate
trfle in money, but more contemplate trifle
of genuine outspoken sympathy and tender
ness. You are buffetted and crowded in the
business places OF life You have learned
amid hard usage to grow sturdy and muscu-
lar. You are accustomed every day to deal
ing with things which require from you the
voice ofauthority and decision. In all this
there is nothing to cultivate tenderness of feel
ing of tone or of manner When you come
into your house you meet a timid, retiring
woman who has been shut in all the long
hours struggling against dependency She
has waited for you. The tears already in her
eyes. If the husband cannot sympathize, who
will? Now can you not drop your gruff man
ner and voice for the few moments you must
spend at home, and be tender, gentle and con-
iding2 Why DO you not sit down and draw
your wife to you as you did when you first
sought her in that home which you robbed
her of but never replaced? 1t is not enough
that you mean all this. She sees your look
and manner and hears your voice. If these
are gentle and tender and wooing, she will
open her heart to you, but if otherwise she
will repress the tear for the moment, but it
will flow when you arc gone.
The world is full ofunspoken bitterness. all
because men take things for granted. Ofcourse
she will find sympathy If she will bring her
burdens and unravel them. OF course she is
loved and thought of and planned for. All
this is not enough but thousands never find
it out until the black horses and the hearse
convey the tired and WORKOUT body of the
long waiting one to the only rest she has ever
had-Polaris.
