HONE VERACTTY I!

our inquisitive readers can not expect too
much Of rs for the hFst time, but nsverthe
less, first or last, our object Is to impart onll
such long and short comings through thu
columns Of the advocate Of true democracy
(NoRTHwEsr), as viii be most interesting Il
our young friends. You can not expect, mol
must you think we indulge in high-hovu
orstory, but very candidly ask of you not Il
criticise our defects as regards orthography
and grammar. We consider II too tedious tc

graphical sketches; therefore We deem this
sufficient by way of introduction, to bring il
within the knowledge of all of what we will
say and not say.
This part of the creation seems to be en-.
tirely forgotten by the old or enlightened
people of this hyperbolical nineteenth GEN.
tury; but the young, who being imbibed
with the true spirit of patriotism are ambi-
tious enough to collect their thoughts and
have them appear in print. Nowhere can
there be found locality in little Henry that
more fully verifes the old saying of a dis
tinguished French writer. than this remote
corner. ''The most beautiful, magnificent,
charming, delightful and healthful habita-
tion prepared by God for mans abode
Anything and everything to attract attention
from a young pugilist, whose biography
would require years to complete, from the
many and strange accidents that befell him
during his tropical adventuring, to "walk-
ing gaswell," the pressure of which some
times becomes too great and soon it is pub
lished and noised abroad that several persons
have been killed and few partly, but not
fatally injured by the recent explosion of the
walking gaswelI:" but definite facts prove it
to be nothing but low, mean, base and vul-
gar gossip of some harmless woman, and
no body hurt, but the walking gaswelr' be-
ing minus of some of its contents, can be
found in this vicinity.
All is activity and hustle from the early
aurora, to the deep shades of night. With this
insignia the people are endowed. Industry
is the greatest treasure of man." and the re-
suit of it is simply immense. We only need
to trace back the history of little Henry for a
single score and we will find that from its
rude log cabins, it now stands in admira-
ton to its sister vicinities with its beautiful
dwellings and spacious barns. Besides this
we must boast of that grand sublime edifce
dedicated to God (our church), which at
tracts every wayfarer's eye with its elgant
architecture and workmanship, and whose
majestic tower, which, like the finger of God,
points upward to our true home, the apex of
which rises far above the highest branch of
the monarch of the forest"
By the way, we must not forget the charm
ing brunetts who, like the hues of morning,
attract the the soft lads of New Bavaria, but
never have they succeeded by convincing
our lassies to accompany them on special
visit to the minister.
Accidents are rare in general. but of late
have occurred quite frequently. Last Sun
day evening while one of our Northern
cronies complied with one of his regular
duties by paying his due regards to the fair
sex, assisisted her into buggy, but it
being after dusk, and not conscious of the
fact that an old hen had visited the buggy
for several days previous, seated her upon
some eggs and the mash was made.
Sundays seem to be the universal day for
collecting items for the press, for on such
occasion every color is flying, from the opu-
lent-with their fancy equipages to the
sturdy farmer, who either plods the lovely
mud or disagreesble dust, or seats himself
with his happy family on lumber wagon and
wends his way toward the house of God
Even the widower and widow form mag
niice1t item for the press, for which we
heartily congratulate them. Their "honey-
incoming period" has been prolonged, and
we find them in perfect artistic attire at
every social, intermingling with the young
lads and lassies. "Truly, design too ex-
alted for their vocation"
In ancient times, as we read in history.
men were conspicuous for their profund cru
dition of certain arts; for instance, (Mozark)
the great musician, but to-day we have con-
noisseurs of music who far excel the musical
genius of that ancient and famous master of
that art. As the story reads, they always ex-
hibit under the canopy of heaven and send
forth such melodious strains that venerable
octogenarian who was passing by, suddenly
halted, gazed heavenward for inspiration,
had them at once elevated upon an eight
rail fence. LITTLE Boy.
