BEGGING LETTERS.

There are some things to be urged in
behalf of poverty, one of the chief of
which is that one is not annoyed bybeg-
ging letters. A reporter of the New
York Mail, who was sent to make GER
tain inquiries of a citizen noted for his
iberality, was shown few specimens of
the opportunities for help almost daily
made by mail. Among those he was al
lowed to copy were such as the follow
ing, the peculiar spelling being retained:
"Thinks you could do kindness if you
could pay off a mortgage of $115 on a
piano or find some man in the Baptis
Church that would do it." "Would like
you to send him money to go to college

The Youths Companion.

AS source of profitable entertain
ment for the family, no paper exceeds
in interest the YOUTHS COMPANION.
It's list of writer's embraces the best
names in periodical literature, and it
is evidently the aim of its editors to
secure not My the best writers, but
the best articles from their pens. 1t
is remarkable thing for single
paper to obtain such a succession of
lively and brilliant stories and illus
trated articles. While the COMPANION
is in the main story paper, the
mental, moral and religious training
of young people is an end kept steadily
in view. It's articles on current topics
are written by the most qualified
pens, and present, in clear, vivid,
direct way, the fundamental facts of
home and foreign politics, and all
public questions. It's original anec-
dotes of public men are invaluable in
their influence in stimulating right
ambition and high purpose in life.
Every household needs the healthy
amusement and high moral training
of such a journal. 1t is published by
PERRY MASON & Co.. of Boston; who
will send specimen copies upon ap-
plication. 81

These gentlemen have had years of

feel safe in saying that Morris will
hereafter have a first class bakery.
They intend keeping delivery wagon

They intend establishing themselves
permanently and building up a

Framnas June 18th, 1883


The rain on Friday evening and
last Sabbath made bad roads but
helped the growth of small grains
wonderfully. The hot weather of
Friday and Saturday gave the corn a
vigorous start.
The creamery OH the Beard farm is
now ready and will commence
business the latter part of the week.
Parties from that farm with COM
pany from Hancock gave your CORE
spondent and the lakes a call last
Sunday. The fish did not approve of
the jests as they were pulled out by
the dozen with hooks and lines. The
party had good luck in catching fish
but their lady friends did notapprove
of the fisherman's style tf rcturnir g
home, with wet jackets etc. Giddings
and Hull, however 10y they can stand
it once per week rs long as they can
catch fish at whole salt rates.
The town of Hodges has made
numerous improvements on roads by
the use of ditching machines. Franz
mas has also d one some ditching.
Towns will find that the only way to
to make good road is to ditch them
and thus-make an outlet for the water
Much ditching is also needed among
farmers. Much has been done and
much yet remains to be done. Any
one anxious to see the result of care
full ditching should visit the farms of
Solseth, Malan, Thomasson and
others in this town.
There are farmers who are continually
saying that wheat will not do we'll
upon ground upon which wheat was
raised the year before. Ifsuch men will
visit my farm, they will probably
change their mind. My best looking
wheat is growing where / had flax
last year. Others complain that
mustard follows the flax crop. Twill
ask them why mustard can not be
kept out of flax as other grain. Low
prices on flax have discouraged farm
ers in it's production. True there
have been no profits in raising for
market for some time but as it is eX-
cellent food for stock it should con-
tinue to be raised. 1t is superior to
any other kind of fodder when cut a
little green and properly cared for.
Last winter I wintered IL head of
cattle and head of horses on two
loads of flax straw per week, feeding
no grain, and my stock all came out
in good condition-much better than
the stock of some of my neighbors.

HOW TO SLEEP VEIL.

No healthful sleep comes except that
which follows voluntary or involuntary
action of the body. Pedestrians fall
into sound, deep sleep as soon as put to
bed, at the appointed time for rest.
This is the sleep from voluntary
muscular exercise. A person in
good health sits around the house all
day; an invalid may all day sit and
lounge and lie down from morning un-
til night without sleeping and both the
healthy man and the invalid. in the
course Of the evening, will become sleepy
and fall into sound repose, the result of
the WEAKNESS which involuntary action
brings about; for the various organs of
the body, the heart, the liver, the stom-
ach, the eyelids, work steadily every
day. The intestines are as ceaseless in
their motion as the waves of the ocean;
as these latter are always dashing to-
ward the shore, so is the great viscereal
machinery working, working, working,
pushing the wastes of the body down.
ward and outward from the first breath
of existence to the last gasp of life.
There is not movement of the system,
voluntary or involuntary, external or
internal, which does not require power
to cause it. When that power is to a
certain extent exhausted, instinct brings
on the sensation of sleepiness, which is
the result of exhausted power, intended
by nature to secure that cessation from
activity which gives time for recupera-
| ton, very much as a man who runs for
while stops and rests, so as to get
stronger to run again. We get up in

for the commencement of new supply,

POFTICAL GEMS FROM EMERSON.
Emerson is the chief of American
poets. From what other bard have 80
many original lines and phrases pa sed
into literature-coins that do not wea'
out. of standard value, bright and cur
rent gold9 It is worth while, for the
mere effect, to group some of them to-
gether, and especially those which, ap-
pearing in his first book forty year.
ago, long since became constituent
part of our literary thought and ex'
preston:
IT'S the law of bush and stone,
Each can only take his own.
The thoughts that he shall think
Shall not be forms Of stars, but stars.
Nor pictures pale, but Jove and Mars.
Hast thou named all the birds without gunf
Loved the wood-rose and left it on its stalkf
Heartily know,
When half-gods go
The gods arrive.
What is excellent,
As God lives, is permanent;
Hearts are dust, hearts loves remain.
Born for the future, to the future lost.
Not for all this faith can see
Would that cowled churchman be.
Not from vain or shallow thought
His awful Jove young Phidias bought;
Out from the heart of nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible old.
The hand that rounded Peters dome
Wrought in sad sincerity;
Himself from God he could not free;
He builded better than he KNEW
The conscious stone to beauty grew.
Earth proudly wears the Parthenon
| As the best gem upon her zone;
| And Morning opes with haste her lids,
To gaze upon the pyramids.
One accent of the Holy Ghost
The needless world hath never lost
Or ever the wild Time coined itself
Into calendar months and days.
Set not thy foot on graves.
Good proud world! I'm going home.
What are they all, in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meets
If eyes were made for seeing.
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being
Leave all thy pedant lore apart,
God hid the whole world in thy heart.
| And conscious Law is King of kings.
Mount to paradise
By the stairway of surprise.
Here once the embattled farmers stood.
And fired the shot heard round the world.
Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.
The silent organ loudest chants
The masters requiem.

Norris Public Schools.

The public schools of the village
closed last Friday. During the early

were closed for two Weeks on account
of the small pox sc ire which all our

work and delayed pupils in finishing
the years work. In order to make up

taken for preparation of Especial closing
exercises and no exhibition was given

examinations for the year were given
the week before, classification for the
ensuing year effected and the school
was closed in a quiet way.
The school year thus closed has
been one of marked success and has

tive work on the part of the teachers
and pupils. The school has been placed
