A young man who has grit enough to follow these rules will have taken the first step upward to success in business. He may be compelled to wear a coat a year longer, even if it be unfashionable; he may have to live in a smaller house than some of his young acquaintances; his wife may not sparkle with diamonds, nor be resplendent in silk or satin just yet; his children may not be dressed as popin­ jays; his table may be plain but whole­ some, and the whizz of the beer or cham pagne cork may never be heard in his dwelling; he may have to get along without the earliest fruit or vegetables; he may have to abjure the club room, the theatre and the gambling hell, and to reverence the Sabbath day and read and follow the precepts of the Bible instead: --but he will be the bettter off in every 'way for this sflf.discipline. Tee, he may do all these without detriment to his manhood, or health, or character. True, empty-headed lolks sneer at him and effect to pity him; but he will find that he has grown strong-hearted and brave enough to $aud the laugh of the foolish He has become an independent man. He never owes anybody, and so he is no man's slave. He has become master of himself, and a master of himself will be­ come a leader among men, and prosper­ ity will crown his every enterprise.

It has been called the bright weather to the heart. It gives harmony to the soul, and is a perpetual song without words. It enables nature to recruit its strength: whereas worry , and discontent debilitate it, involving constant wear and tear. ADVERTISING business men are the ones to patronize. They mean business and are not too stingy nor too indolent to let the people know what they have for sale and what they propose to do. We have always found liberal advertisers the best firms to deal with, and the fact that they make their business known shows that they do business on strictly correct business principles. "How dear to this heart is the old yel low pumpkin, when orchards are barren of stuffing for pies; when peaches and apples have both been a failure,,, and berries of no kind have greeted the eyes; bow fondly we turn to the Iruit. of the corn field--the fruit that our children are taught to despise--the old yellow pump­ kin, the mud-covered pumpkin, the big- bellied pumpkin that md »s such good pies!" -- RAMBLER in Every Saturday, has the following: "An agricultural paper is an thority for the statement that "a rabid dog bit a cow's tail and it died." Poor dog, or was it the tail that died ? And what became of the cow ? It is hoped the second installment of this mysterious ro­ mance will be published in the succeeding issue of the aforementioned agricultural paper. Don't leave us in doubt. Let us know what became of the heroine--the THE following is a very truthful remark The man who grows up in his town is re­ garded as a boy by his elders until he is well started down the declivity of life i that ends in a bole. The stranger who ^ «omes into a place is more often pushed to the front than the young man who has grown up with the town. This is the i , reason why so many young men become im dkftfttiafied with their home surroundings HLKkngfr to cast thoir Qt io other quar- THE cold seems a trifle backward about coming forward, aud unless the merchants can discover some" Discourager of Hesi­ tancy," and apply it to the cold weather clerk in such a manner as to induce a Virop of the raurcury, prices will have to bake a suddeu tumble. It is to be hoped that this will not be the case, as people can bettor afford to pay good prices for than to get the same goods at merchant's costs and endure another open winter. "WHY is it," askedacitizenofareporter on a city paper, "that newspapers make so many misstatements?" "Well," said the reporter of 20 years' experience, "the papers have to tell, as most of the news, the stories that men like you tell them, and it is a moral impossibility for nine out of ten men to tell a thing as it really Some may tell i t as it seemed to them but what one man will swear to as the truth the next man will characterize as a lie " A NEW song has made its appearance for public favor. It is dedicated to the Garden City, and entitled 'She Got There Just The Same, the World's Fair, Chica­ go." The words are by H. J. Upthegrove and the music by Prof. W. F. Strong, both of Valparaiso. In a few weeks this piece of music will be sang all over the country. We predict for it a popularity equal to the "McGinty" Song. For sale by Chicago Music Co., 195 and 197 Wa­ bash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Epworth League, At a meeting of the young people of the1 M. E. Church, Tuesday evening of last week, an Epworth League was organized. It is hoped that this will be to the benefit of our commmunity both in a morale intellectual and religious sense. ^THE weather prophets are making the usual variety of predictions about the coming winter. Some say it is to be a severe one because the "rag-weed" has grown to an unusual height, and they "never knew this sign to fail." The "hor­ net's nest" prognosticator says that the winter is going to be open: and so it goes by no end of signs. But we shall take thKweather just as it comes, for all that we cflta see. What a fruitful subject for discussion and prediction the weather is, to be spre! Every other man you meet ejaculates that "it is a fine day," or "whatbttd weather we are having I" just as if you had lost all your senses and didn't know the fact just as well as he How nonsensical it seems to be telling one another the news about the weather STRAW WANTED.

Druggists everywhere report that the sales of the Restorative Nervine a nervine food and medicine-are astonishing; ex­ ceeding anything they ever had, while it gives universal satisfaction in headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, sexual debility, backache, poormemory, tits, dizziness, etc. Taylor Bros., of Bryan, O.; Amber & Murphy, of Battle Creek, Mich.; C. B. Woodworth & Co., of Fort Wayne, Ind., and hundreds of others state that they never handled any medicine which sold so rapidly, or gave such satisfaction. Trial bottles of this great medicine and book on Nervous Diseases free at G. W. Besley's who guarantees and recommends it. Literary Note. Herbert Ward, in the preface to his "Five Years With the Congo Cannibals," tells the story of the Itear-Guard of the Stanley Expedition for the relief of Ernin Pacha. The trials of those lett behind'by Mr. Stanley when he pushed forward, the fate of Ma jor Barttelot and Mr. Jameson, and Mr. Ward's own part in the transac­ tions of that trying period form an im­ portant and interesting chapter in the history of Mr. Stanley's great onterprise. The unfortunate controversy now raging between Mr. Stanley aud the representa­ tives of Majar Barttelot renders Mr. Wards revelations as to that matter espec­ ially interestingand valuable. Mr. Wards book contains many fiicts hitherto un­ known. A flood of light is thrown upon ttie condition and habits of the millions inhabiting the Congo basin. The illus­ trations are truthful representations of the scenery, habitations and natives, made from original drawings by Mr. Ward while in Africa. This is the most important-publication on the subject of late African exploration, and the con­ dition of the native races, that is likely to appear for many years. H. C. MEAD, General Auctioneer.
