No human mind is contented
without occupation. No human
soul is without an aim or purpose in
life. The greatest success in life
consists not in the mere accumula-
ton of riches, but in being able to
acquire wealth with a disposition to
apply. it in such a manner that it
shall be q comfort and blessing to
others--not in the mere giving away
of money, but in putting people in a
way to labor and help themselves.
There is no pleasure in oppression.
There is no pleasure in grinding and
exacting gold from the poor; but
there is a great deal OF genuine sat-
isfactiOn in being able to offer steady
and honorable employment to the
many willing hands that have moth
ing to do. One of the greatest en-
joyments of the prosperous business
man consist in being able to COM
fortably provide for the many
employees in his house or manufac-
tory. In doing this he is fulfilling
his obligation to society ; he becomes
\ useful and hOnored citizen; bus.
mess to him is a real pleasure; he
enjoys his Successes, when they are
fairly won. because he feels that he
deserves them.
When a business man has the RICH.
kind of purpose in life he always
enjoys his occupation. He feels a

that in benefiting himself he is con-
ferring a favor upon others Crit

We are glad that the senate in
accordance with Senator Van
Wyck's resolution, has authorized an
investigation of the trouble between
the settlers in southern Nebraska
and the St. Joe & Denver railroad
about land titles. The laws are
manifestly lame in defining the
rights of the land grant roads and of
actual settlers on the same, or there
would not be so much litigation.
Nothing is more desirable than GER
tainty as to the commencement of q
good title on the part Of an individ-
ual or the corporation making an
entry. 1t is charged that the rulings
of the interior department have been
unjust to the settler and in favor of
the railroads. This was not the
case apparently when Secretary
Schurz made his decision, that unless
the title of the railroad was CON-
pleted by the finishing and occupa-
ton of the road within three years
after the selection of lands 80 made,
the lands selected reverted to the
government and were open to home
steaders or pre-emptors, which was
reversed by the supreme court. But
there should be further legislation
on the matter, so that nobody may
suffer on account of the apparent
contradictions in the laws governing
these entries and selectiOns.--State

Marry q Genllelnan.

1t was excellent advice l saw
lately given to young ladies urging
them to marry only gentlemen or
not to marry at all. The word was
used in its brosdest, truest sense. 1t
did not have reference to those who
had fine raiment and white hands
and the veneering of society polish,
merely, to entitle them to the dis
tinction, but to those possessed of
true manly and noble qualities, how.
ever hard their hands and SUM-
Drowned their faces. A true gen.
tlemsn is generous and unselfish.
He regards another's happiness and
welfare AZ well as his own. You
will e the trait running through
all his actions. A man who is q bear
at home among his sisters and dis
courteous to his mother, is just the
man to avoid when you come to the
great question which is to be
answered yes or no. A man may
be ever so rustic in his early sur
roundinss, ii he is a true gentleman
he will not bring = blush to your
cheek in any society by his absurd
behavior. There lie an instructive
p%Oliteness inherent in such a char
acter which everywhere commands
respect and makes it's owner pass
for what he is-one of natures
noblemen. Do not despair, girls;
there are such men still in the world.
You need not all die old Made.
But wait until the princes pass by.
No harm in a delay. You will not
be apt to find him in the ballroom,
and I know he will never be seen
walking up from the liquor saloon.
Nor is he a champion billiard player.
He has not hsd time to become a
champion for he has had too much
honest, earnest work to do in the
world. l have always observed that
these champions were seldom good
for much else. Be very wary in
choosing, girls, when so much is at
stake. Do not mistake a passing
fancy for undying love. Marrying
in haste rarely ends well. Do not
resent too much the interference Of
parents. You will travel long and
far in this world before you will find
any one who has your true interest
at heart more than your father or
mother, and age and experience has
given them An insight into character
which is much beyond your own. Ii

as q teacher of adult men in the pull

1t is q time honOred-custom for
newly married couples to enter upon
a long wedding tour the moment
the ceremony is over. 1t is hard to
say what ever brought the fashion
into vogue, but it is certain that in
this enlightened age the custom is
held in as great reverence and is
subject to the same memorable de-
cree as that which governs the fash
ions Of new bonnets, cloaks and
dresses. Just what convenience it
is, or what purpose it serves, re-
mains q question; but fashion de-
mands it, and that is enough. There
are very few men, if indeed any, who
would not a thousand times, prefer
to sit quietly down with their pretty
wives as soon as the wedding guests
have said farewell, and enter into
the details of their future plans, and
the arrangement of the house, the
superintendcy of the kitchen, the
improvement of the parlors and
rooms, and a thousand other Incl
dents which the young man fondly
anticipates shall minister to his
comforts and mode OF enjoying life
in q home of his own. Surely he
would much rather prefer this to
travelling helter-skelter across the
continent, AZ the sacrifice of repose
and every comfort, to pay extrsor.
binary hotel bills, and lead q wretch
ed existence among strangers, who
see the new husband cropping out
in every stitch of his wedding suit,
and guage their remarks according

better it would please her to be
spared all the clatter and excitement
incident to a long railroad journey,
and be permitted to abandon her,
self to the newly assumed duties of
wifehood without the necessity of
foregoing every claim to comfort,
and being rushed from city to city,
until her head resonnds with a
thousand riotous noises, and every
object of interest loses itself in one
confused vision of vacancy. Yet
such is the absurd fashion.--Stote

shall WOlnen vO e?

This question is agiiating the
minds of the people of Nebraska,
and the press throughout the State
are taking their stand pro and con
and arguing the same with zeal and
enthusiasm. We place ourselves on
record with those who say let wo-
men vote Our reasons are easily
given. We would allow women the
right of franchise because they m
rational, responsible beings, endowed
with reason and judgement, and as
q rule with higher moral and spir-
itusl sentiments than the sterner
sex.
Our government is founded upon
the 'self-evident truth that ALL r
equal before the law and before
God, and that taxation without rep
resentstion is unjust Women are
large property owners in this coun-
try, and yet they have no voice in
saying how and for what purpose
their property shall be taxed. They
are the subjects Of the laws of the
land, equally with man, and yet
have no voice in framing them.
What lie our boosted government
that derives its just powers from
the consent of the governed and
why should any distinction be made
with reference to sex? If you say
that woman lie represented. by man,
we will ask, who represents the
widow and the woman who remains
single in preference to becoming the
slsve to man ; and by what right
save that of traditional custom and
popular prejudice does man presume
to keep womsnkind in their present
political bondage.
Our civilization has reached that
stage when the old and thread bare
notion that in marriage the twain
become one, and the man is that
'one,' should to be tolerated.
Women are daily proving them
selves capable of conducting intelii-
gently and faithfully any of the bus
mess relations of life, commercial or
otherwise. If their individuality is
recognized in business, why should
it not be in politics?
1t is frequently argued that wOm-
en- are not qualified to vote intclli-
gently. If Intelligence is to be the
standard of qualification for the ex-
ercise of the elective franchise, why |
is it not applicable to the lords of
creation as well as the 'serfs? III
our memory serves us rightly, we
have seen men vote who were too
ignorant to read their ballot or to
understand the import of an cleo
ton. |
We say, let our civilization roll
onward and upward until we shall
surrender TO wOmankind their law
full heritage, the rights which we
claim for ourselves-the most sacred

right of self-government through

The supreme courts Of Ohio and
Indiana have been making some de.
cided thrusts at some Of the popular
vices. The former has decided that
a cigar is not q legal necessity and
therefore dealers in tobacco must
abide by the terms of Sunday law
just the same as saloon keepers and
con%fectioners. The latter has de.
cided that any billiard saloon in
which the loser of the game pays
for the hire of the table, is q gambl-
ing house, and that the proprietor
is liable to prosecution and punish
