HoMELY COUNSEL.


Il Isn't worth while TO fret, dear,
To walk as behind q hearse.
No matter how vexing things may %
They easily might be worse;
And the time you spend complaining
And grooming about the load
Would better be given TO going on
And pressing along the road
I've trodden the hill myself, dear
'Tis the tripping tongue can preach, ,rx
But though silence Is sometimes goioen' oAAAs'
As oft, there is grace In speech
And | see, from my higher level,
"Tis less the path than the pace
That wearies the back and dims the oss
And writes the lines on the race
There are vexing cares enough, DEAR
And to spare, when all Is told;
And love must mourn its losses,
And the cheek soft bloom grow old;
But the spell of the craven spirit
Turns blessing into curse,
While the bcld heart meets the trouble
That easily might be worse.
So srri.a ct each disaste.
That will presently pass away,
And believe bright Tomorrow
win follow the dark today.
There s nothing gained by frettlng;
Gather your strength anew,
And step by step so onward dear,
Let the skies be gray or blue.

There is another scheme which has
become popular within few years." said
one of these merchants. you have
probably noticed that the majority of
young clerks and counter jumpers arc
very well dressed. Their clothes are of
good material, are cut in the latest style
and they generally have several suits
Now, the majority of these young men
get from S. to $12 week. and have to
pay their board. How do they buy so
many clothes? I'll tell you. They find a
convenient and accommodating tailor, who
is willing to trust them. They select
their goods and purchase their clothes, of
course, at higher price than they could
get them for elsewhere. They pay S.
down. and agree to pay SIS week until
they are fully paid for. The consequence
is, they are always well dressed, but they
are always in debt to their tailor. It's
better for them though, for they would
only spend their money foolishly and
never have decent suit to wear if they
had to pay cash for their spring or fall
suit before they enjoyed the privilege of
wearing The tailor makes about IS per
cent. profit, but the boys are contented,
and very seldom fail to pay all they agree
to do. Chicago Herald.

Replacing Broken Articles.

In the majority of families there is no
?uch code as who break pays. II 1t were
universally obeyed there would be less
broken glass and china for the city health
department to surreptitiously cart away
from our kitchen doors. For, though the
unique article cannot be replaced In kind,
it may have it's substitute that will
answer quite as well. Occasionally an
honest soul takes upon herself to repair
the mischief she has committed, without
making confession, as happened not long
since in one of the most artfully decorated
interiors in a fashionable locality. The
little maid who has charge Of these valu
ables is a quaint foreigner, and as original
as she is reliable and honest. 1t was her
bad luck to break certain piece Of hand
painted china which bore the auto
graph of the giver and artist. Know
ing the great store set upon this
fragile souvenir, the poor little
maid was in despair, and her courage
| failed her. She could not confess what
havoc her duster had made among the
strength; but she could go down town
and match it at no matter what cost to
her meager purse. But alas, the work of
the poet artist could not be duplicated, as
| she soon discovered.
What, then, was to be done? Visions
of prison, of the scaffold even, rose be-
fore her, until it was suggested at one of
the shops that she have another piece
made like it. Exactly? Well, then, why
not, and, armed with the address Of a
skillful decorator, away she few to know
if this lovely china painting. autograph
and all. could be reproduced. The result
of her inquiry stands at this moment on
the Louis XIV cabinet in milady's parlor,
| and no one not even the original artiSt
will ever be the wiserl Besides. the out
lay for the replica was only $3.50. All,
yesl honesty is the best policy.-Boston

Tho Sentiment of Dakota.

Sr. PAUL, Dec. 30.-A vote has been
taken by Deadwood, OAK, paper on
the question Of single Or double state
hood, and it is shown that little more
than FIVE sixths Of those answering are
in favor of division and admission as two
states. The answers received arc from
various parts Of Southern Dakota, and
those voting are OF all occupations and
all political faiths. This vote is believed
to be a fair representation Of public
sentiment OF the matter, which daily
grows stronger. 1t is generally believed
that division aud admission are simply a
question Of time, and while waiting the
outcome with considerable anxiety, the
people have already begun to look after
the prizes to be secured when two new
states are introduced. Every move at
the national capital is watched for eager
~, while number of Dakota towns are
looking after their fences aud generally
brushing up 10 hope that they may
become the seat OF government. While
a few towns are especially anxious to
secure that plum, all are united in their
efforts to bring settlers to the soon to be

From here they will send one road dov .
the Columbia to Portland, and one to IT,
Sound country. The Columbia at this
place has natural point for a bridge.
The distance across is not g, great as it
is at other points on the river. There
are rocks CD which the piers could stand
a, low water, that extend out of the wa
ter some fifteen or twenty feet.
This road, in coming to Wa!lula, will
tap all Of the principal grain growing dis.
tricts in its routes. From some we have
it that its course will be through the Pa
louise country, cross the Snake river some
distance above and come down the south
side through the Eureka Flat country
to Wallula. Again We have it that it
will cross Snake river at Lewiston, Idaho,
and from there down through Columbia
and Walla Walla counties, tapping the
great grain belt Of Dayton and vicinity,
Walla Walla, and from there down the
south side OF the river, on the old survey
OF two years ago to this place. Either
Of these routes take in large grair pro-
ducing country. From this point one
branch takes the Columbia river fer
