The S ^ question is going the rounds of the news- < papers, and will doubtless prove as great * puKle to many as did the "hen and a half lays an egg and a half. WHEN a nice young lady accosts a young man with the interrogation, "what's the matter with this for sleighj- - f ing?" the question is suggestive, and what the lawyers are wont to term "leadi Jng," and the only way to answer it sat isfactorily, is for the young man to hustle ground and get a horse and cutter, and proceed to give the question what the deacon in the play would call a "practi . ,$al solution."

DIED -- At his residence near McHenry, III., on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 1H92. .lames Tyrrell, aged 73 years, 9 months and 17 days. ' • . _ . The subject of the above notice was born in Port Burwell, Canada, March 25, 1818. la 1841 he emigrated to the United States, settling in the thriving young State of Illinois. July 31st, 1812, he was married to Sarah La Dow, who bore him eight chil lren, four sons and four daughters, as follows: M. D. Tyr rell, H. B. Tyrrell, M. .1. Tyrrell, Arthur Tyrrell, Mrs. Lizzie Montgomery, Mrs. H. H. Brady, Mrs. G. L. Willey, and Mrs. H. O. Thompson, all of whom survive him except the youngest son, Arthur, who died Feb. 7th, 1882. Mr. Tyrrell's death was so sudden and unexpected that his friends could scarcely realize the truth when the unwelcome news was thrust upon them. He had been in his usual health up to Friday, the 8 th inst., when he was taken with la grippe, which soon terminated in pneu monia, and he died the Tuesday follow ing, as above stated, having been sick but four days. Mr. Tyrrell was a good citizen, and his genial countenance will long be missed by those who knew him best, and with whom he came in almost daily contact in the course of business transactions. As a man, Mr. Tyrrell was honored and respect by all who knew him. As a friend he was faithful, and as a husband and father he Was considerate, sympathetic and kipd. His wife survives him. and she, with the sous and daugh ters living, have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. The funeral exercises were held from the Universalist Church, in this village, on Friday morning last, Rev. H. Slade officiating, and his remains laid to rest in Woodland Cemetery.

Very frequently they are men who never saved a dollar; they make a failure of everything they undertake, but there is nothing that they do not know, let them be the judges. While no one has confidence enough in them to elect them poundmaster, yet they become self- appointed critics of the actions of others. They can tell just exactly what an alder man should do and what he should not do. They know all about finance, city, State and national. Although he never saw a work on political economy, he could frame a tariff bill that woqjd suit the world. He knows more about the church work than the minister, more about medicine than the doctor, and more about law than the lawyer, and is mad if they don't all consult him. It is amusing to hear him tear around. He likes to spend other people's money. Wheu a political campaign H on he is in his glory. He knows all about it. He usually takes up with every new party that comes along. Is on the off side. Abuses everybody. He is satisfied that the great majority of successful, thought ful, intelligent people are voting against their interests. He is on the stump if be can talk, or starts a newspaper if he can get some one to furnish the fundd. We sometimes wish the world would be left in their care for a week, we would like to see what they would do. ^ Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary I will still continue my lessons in MCHENRY. Persons wishing to engage lessons in piano and organ will find me here Friday and Saturday of each week. F. M. ARNOLD. Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for February. Richard J.
