Wise Words.

Work off in whispers your surplus
words.
WilIful ignorance is an incurable
ailment.
Pedigree has ruined many a fne
young man.
There is nothing more contagious
than grumbling.
Do not force others to bear the
burden of your song.
It c~ertaialy takes very little to
make vain people happy.
We follow precedent as long as it
gives US the advantage.
Take up the first cross you come
to, and it will be your right one.
1t is 80 easy to convert others. It
is SO difficult to convert oneself.
1t is much easier to be contented
without riches than it is with them.
There is more help in an ounce of
encouragement than there is in a ton
of advice.
To arrive at what one really be-
lleves, one must speak through lins
different from ones own.

THE MERIDIONAL

The MERIDIoNAL with this issue
ends the Seth year of its existence,
and with bright prospects and a
happy future enters on its 9Th year.
To look back to its first existence
seems a lorg time, and we doubt if
very many of its present readers
were on this mortal sphere. The
country around US has grown up
wonderfully since then, and many a
house and farm can now be seen,
instead of vast prairie. In its in
fancy it had many things to contend
with. Many we're the trials and
tribulations of its early days, hut to-
day it can look back over the fight.
ing years of time, with pleasure,
and can call back with admiration,
scenes and events of the days gone
by.
= The paper was founded by E. I.
Guegnon, in the year 1857, and was
under his control till October, 1862,
when bis o Eugene, took charge
of it till 1876, and steadily kept it
in advance of the times. Mrs.
Eugene, his wife, launched forth at
the helm. and steered its destiny till
May 1879. The present publisher,
E. |. Addison, took control of it in
June 1879, just Is years ago.
The people OF this vicinity have
10 many ways contributed to its
success, and for the past 36 years
has never missed an issue.
We aim to furnish a paper that
the citizens Of Vermilion and the
surrounding country eau look at
with pride. W. feel proud over it's
success, and shall always aim to
merit it in the future. Our sub
scription is gradually increasing,
and likewise, considering the pres
ent dull times, the advertising
space is well patronized.
1t is the official journal of Yer
million parish, and the town council
aud school board.
1t. is 10 politics, a trne-blue demo-
crat, and while it bows gracefully
to the opinions Of those who differ
with Us, it always will be found ad-
~vocating tue democratic principles
and nothing else. :
Today we look forward to its
new year with feelings of encourage
ment, knowing full we'll that we are
publishing a paper. that aims to be
a newspaper in every sense Of the
word, aud titus with these few g
marks, we close by asking all to
remember the MER1DToNAL and
its glorious past.
