AUTUMN,
Sized Up In the Light or Undressed
Truth

Truth.
The fall poet is out with his yearly bowl
about the scar and yellow Leaf, and the corn
husker as with bleeding fingers he yanks the
golden nubbins out Of the husks and starts
them on their journey to the sour mash tub.
The pumpkin, too, will be hbeled by the su-
tumn bard, who catches his inspiration and
most of his grub at the free lunch counter,
and don't know any more about the rise and
fall of the pumpkin than Hottentot does
about the North Pole. I am opposed 10 libel
ing nature in rhyme. believe in gazing at
the old dam as she Is, in staring the nude
truth square in the face, and not trying to
hide it behind the gaudy Embellishments of
bill ious old season poets. don't believe in
granting poetic license to anything animate
or inanimate, to linger in the lap of any 9TH
er thing, animate or inanimate. Don't say
summer is reclining on the crinoline Of au-
tumn, but come to the front and admit in cold
prose that summer has climbed the golden
stairs, and that autumn is here with her
frosty morning and raw wind attachments.
Autumn is here! The jay bird has gone to
pick holes in the persimmon of the sunny
south. The blackbird has sought milder
climes, in which to masticate the juicy cut
worm. The crow has gone to pick the bones
of defunct mules in lands where they don't
shovel snow. The turkey roosts high, &c
does the owl. The hair grows long on the
spring calf, unless he is pet Jersey he will
perhaps be on the lift about April fool. The
COW and her mate are nerving up to buck
the fierce winds of the proximate hence and
chaw frozen corn-stocks and rotten straw fol-
Christmas dinner. The horse is preparing
to yank saw-logs and girls galley west OF
galley east, as the case may be, over the
snow, and cough and sneeze and eat dusty
clover hay in the cold, cold barn during the
long nights of winter. The church oyster il
being resurrected and prepared to get in his
shadowy work at 20 cents bowl. The cock,
tail and mint iulep are about to be supplant-
ed by the rum punch, whisky sling and Ton
and Jerry. Andlast but not least the sau
sage is ripening and getting ready to spread
dyspepsia in the bowels of mankind.
We wont be undersold. Examine our good.
before you buy, it will pay you.

About midnight Sunday night fire was dis
covered in Delventhal's saloon in the Bitter
block. The discovery was made before the
flames had gained much headway and was
easily put out before much damage was
done. The damage to the building will not
exceed $500, and on the bar fixtures and
stock it will not reach that amount. The
work was evidently incendiary. No insur-
|
ance on stock or building.

L. ..a. TO PARENTS.
Regularity of attendance is an indispens
able requisite to successful school work
During last week there we're three hundred
and thirty-two cases of half days absence in
the Union Schools which makes an actual loss
of one hundred and sixty-six days of school
work to less. than two hundred pupils who
were, to this extent, irregular in their attend
auce.
If but one-third cf the pupils enrolled lose
one hundred and sixty-six days OF school
work in one week, how enormous will be the
loss of valuable time to them if this irregular
attendance continue throughout the school
year. Besides the Injury incurred by the
absent scholars, on almost equivalent injury
is forced upon pupils regular in attendance,
for the reason that they must be kept back
in their work, the progress of which depends
largely upon the work of scholars irregular
in attendance.
But this loss of time is not the most i'm
portant consideration. Habits formed in
youth are seldom overcome in after life,
particularly habits of indifference in connec-
ton with the performance of the everyday
duties of life. What me1o hant, tradesman,
farmer, lawyer, doctor or Journalist has at
tanned success, who was Indifferent to the
regular hours of doing business and to the
manner of conducting it. What enviable
success have they enjoyed who have been
studiously prompt and methodical in meet
ing every requirement of their positions.
The successful business man has other es-
sential qualifications, but are not promptness
and regularity among the highest? And are
not these qualifications largely the result Of
early training. The boy who is always a
school on time and is seldom, if ever, absen
will exhibit in after life promptness in hi
business affairs that will insure not onl!
commendation, but will increase his capacit!
to do business and multiply his opportunities
of securing desirable positions. The CIR
who is required to cultivate habits of pune
tuality during her school life, will certainl!
be better prepared to meet successfully aa1n' an'
pleasantly, the manifold duties of woman
hood. "We learn to do by doing" If then
these suggestions are worthy Of further con
sideration, may we not look for more earn
est effort on the part Of parents to have thei
children prompt and regular in their attend
ance at school, thereby securing the full
benefit of school privileges and above all in
culcating more effectually those habits whic
will elevate the boys and girls of Napoleo
to highly respectable and eminently profit
able positions in lifeP

To Our Readers.

To Our Readers.
We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the necessity of subscribing for a
family, weekly newspaper of the first class
such, for instance as The Independent, of
New York. Were we obliged to select one
publication for habitual and careful reading
to the exclusion of all others, we would
choose unhesitatingly The Independent. 1t
is newspaper, magazine, and review, all in
one. 1t is religious, literary, an educa-
tional, story, an art, scientific, an agri-
cultural, financial and political paper
combined. 1t has 80 folio pages and % de-
partments. No matter what PERSONS re-
ligion, politics or profession may be, no
matter what the age, sex, employment or
condition may be, The Independent will prove
help, an instructor, an educator. Our
readers can do no less than to send postal
for free specimen copy, or for thirty cents
the paper will be sent month, enabling one
to Judge of its merits more critically. Its
yearly subscription is SO 90, or two years for
$5 90. Address, The Independent, 251 Broad
