These are stirring times in which we
life, and the wonders among which we
daily move, are, strange as may seem,
looked upon as quite common plaoe, or
matter of coarse things. For instance, the
application of steam to motive power
tine results of which are incalculable in
the advancement and prosperity of a
people ; the threading lines of railways
with their luxurious accommodations
4r the traveler; the magnificent float
ing palace, stemming the currents of
wind and water; the network of wires,,
which, surcharged with that most sub
tle of fluids, affords instant communica
tion from remote parts of the world,
under old Ocean's currents and oyer
the hills and through the valleys every
where. . The quick transmission of the
mails, and not least among the wonders
of the age in which our fortunate lots
are cast, are the newspapers of to-day,
each day's work giving volumes of freBh,
stirring and useful information ; news
from all parts of the world, of yesterday,
gmblished and read to-day. Conld a Rip
Van Winkle sleeper of an hundred vears
awake to the (te us) commonplace' facts
f to-day, he could scarcely believe his
tenses.
Civilization and culture are making
Mpid strides under the impetus given
t&etn by the times, and ari era of pros
perity, unparalleled in thel.;fcry of the
woiM, has followed to the jideple of the
United States, for which we should all
be thankful. General prosperity is de
sirable, as it is oroof of individual pros
perity, in which as individuals we are
personally interested. .
We are ambitious of accomplishing
individual prosperity, as well as aiding
in the general effeot, and have taken
tikis means, our little paper, for thepur
poee of giving information which we
deem of importance to all who may
hince to read. The faot that we are
endeavoring to supply you with the
finest goods, and that we wish to extend
our business so that every family in the
community may be benefitted thereby,
is not entirely new to all of you nor per
haps to many of you, but it is important
to all to bear it in mind, for if by our aid
you we enabled to keep even with the
world and still lay by something for a
ainy day. you should, and no doubt
would, appreciate our endeavors. We
hereby extend a cordial invitation to all
to eome and see us, and, if our good are
ftmnd desirable, trade with us. Our
Motto 18,
Best geods for the least money, and
meeese a guarantee of merit."

SATURDAY NIGHT.
Some one beautifully says : " Satur
day night makes people human, sets their
hearts to beating softly, as they used to
do before the world turned into drums,
and jarred them to pieces with tattoos.
The ledger closes with a clash, the iron
doored vaults come to with a bang, up
go the shutters with a will, click goes the
key in the lock. It is Saturday night,
and business breathes free again. Home
ward, ho I lhe door, that has been ajar
all the week gently closes behind him j
the world is all shut out. Shut out?
Shut in, rather. Here are his treasures,
after all, and not in the vault, and not in
the book save the record in the old
fajnily Bible and not in the bank. May
be you are a bachelor, frosty and forty.
Then, poor fellow, Saturday night i
nothing to you, as you are nothing to
anybody. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black
eyed ; but, above all, true-eyed. Get a
little home, no matter how little; a sofa,
just to hold two, or two and a half in it,
of a Saturday night, and then read this
paragraph to the children by ihe light of
your wife's eyes, and thank heaven, and
takeeourage.

Apropos of insurance is a srood story
told of a German who had his house in
sured as well as a policy on the life of his
wife. His house burned down and the
insurance company preferred rebuilding
it to paying the loss m money (as they
have a right to do if they choose). This
led the good, honest-hearted German to
think that if the company who insured
his house had a right to replace it, now
that it was burned, so would the company
who had insured his wife have a right to
get him a new one in case he lost her.
Hastening to the office of the company,
with the policy in his hand, he said:
"You, Mr. Agint, I vants my monish
back again. I likes not dis inksuranoe
pissness. I dinks you have right do got
me a new frow if mine Katrina go tead,
some dimes, once in a vile. Dots blayed
oud mid me. I yust dakea my monish
pack again.' , You gant blay any of dat
tam schallawaggle pissness pout me, now
Idoldyou."
There are two ways of going through
this world. One is to make the best of
it, and the other is to make tho worst of
it. Those who take the latter oourae
work for poor ,-ay.
