Communica ated.

To the Editor OF he Repuh lean
Will you kindly allow me suffici-
ent space in the columns of The
REPUBLICAN to make suggestion
or two IN reference to improving
the condition of our town. am
impressed with the idea that our
city fathers have taken step in
the right direction in determining
to enforce the ordinance relating to
the throwing of rubbish Sc, into
the streets and alleys. Now let MS
all, as good law abiding citizens,
lend helping hand and second tho
effort by removing the unsightly
IN " 81 sans, i "a 9Id Il bsFgels Es and
about our premises. Use little
white wash, or better still, some
paint, and improve the appearance
of our out houses and fences. It
is to the advantage of every citizen
of the place to have things clean,
neat and attractive. This is true,
not only from sanitary stand
point, but from, financial stand
point. Dom t stand around with
your hands in your pockets exploit
ing your legal knowledge and ex-
posing your ignorance of the laws
governing municipalities by ques-
tioning the right of the council to
enforce said ordinance, and eter-
nally complain about the town be-
ing in "wretched condition" A
man who practices the latter course
is detriment to any community,
and his long continued absence
from the place is much preferable
to his abiding presence.
Also let the town authorities go
a step farther and set the people
good example by removing some of
the Instructions from the streets,
and compel property owners to re-
pair their side walks. Take hold
of Liberty street and transform it
from a lumber yard to the purposes
for which it was originally intended.
The merchant has no more right to
use or occupy the streets or side
walks for the purpose of storing or
displaying his goods and wares,
than the private citizen has to use
them for wood yard. BY the way,
where is our coop" that these nui-
sances are allowed to exist? What
do we pay him for?
Let there be general movement
all along the line, with people and
council working harmoniouslF to-
gether for the improvement 81 the
town. TAX PAYER.

Beautiful Extract.

Why is it that the rainbow and
cloud come over US with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away
and leave us to muse on their faded
loveliness? Why is it that the stars,
which hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set so far above
our limited faculties, forever mockins
us with their unapproachable glory,
Why is it that such bright forms ol
human beauty are ever presented to
our view, and then taken away from
US, leaving the thousand streams Of
affection to flow back in Alpine tor
rents upon our heartsf We are born
for a higher destiny than that OF
earth. There is a realm where the
rainbow never fades; where the stars
gleam out before us like islands on
the bosom of the ocean; and where
the beautiful ones that pass before us
like meteors here, will there stay in
our presence foreverl BrLwER.
