LEAF YEAR VIST. * They Would AU Make No. 1 Huebands, But Are Too Timid To Try. Look Over Them Well, Olrh, TAey May Be Hud For The Athlng. b A time-honored custom h >th ordainer that every fourth year shall beset apart aa a pericd in which courtship aid proposals shall be recognized as feminine preroga ives for the time being. Woman is accorded only 'one year out of four to exercise this privilege, but an all-wi«e providence has made her year the longes of all. Asa further aid to the success O) her limited matrimonial campaign, it al ways happens that leap years and presl dential elections Mgularly happen together. This gives her a fine opportunity to snare our unwary sex at a time when the abrorling int. rest of the political campaign has us off uur guard. Decatur girls have Intimated that then is going to be no fodl'shnes* about it this leap year, and to we are willing to help give them a good start. We are going to publish a reliable list of the desirable and eligible bachelors left over since last time which list our fair readers should cut out and pin inside their bonnets. It may bathat some of these nre already provided for, but the mo.-t of them are ready to (uccumb to the ten le fetters of matrimony if the pa< ty of the second part take the Jhit-ativc «nd go about it right. Tin following is the list: As a starter there is Will Bosse, handsome, able to afford a good home at d ■ easy to manage. He might have been gathered in four years ago. Henry Shu te was heard to say that a leap year proposal wou'd not go begging ground him, and the girl that gets Henry Ought to be preud. Perry Miller is right in it when you come to this subject. He can issue his own license and the squire will cheerfully do the rest. If any of the girls don't object to taking a little “shaver" to raise we would refer them to the dapper F.’ank Foreman, who is as handsome as a red wagon and of the most congenial disposition Page Blackburn, a clever, courteous young business man, able to analize anything but Ipye and having a well regulated (Ipug house, vyill never bp out qf paragoric ' gnd cgstor oi|. Jiaw there is John Yeager and husband seekers in search of bargains should call on him, remember a full line of furniture goes with it.

Lou C< rbh. may be a Utile young for this list, but we hope the ladles wi 1 take kindly to him. Hurrah! There is Barney Kalveriskey, who says he is not in it. Barney is also 1 ready for proposals that is among the older ones. Then we have a few who have been there who would gladly put the harness »n again.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12.1892.

e Educational. I (CoHtinncd from la..t wai.) The indolent canno' expect to merit tht r success the industrious and persevering e are sure to receive, From this may be seen the importance of habits of Industry and order. Wi'hout them little can be > done; with them almost everything. An , active and energetic mind may achieve much even where there is great want of ! order; but indolence chains a man down | ind keeps him fast in one position; it is therefore the more serious defeat of the two and should be striven against it with inwearying perseverance. Many there are who have no fixed object or purpose in view. The want of an idequate purpo-e is what makes a man inlolent. Activity is the result of some end or affection of the mind. We know there is not one who does not, at times, 'eel the necessity of concentrating ever) purpose he possesses for the accomplish ment of some end. But the evil is the thoughts are not steadily fixed, but are allowed to wander off or ritire in mere idle musings; and thencr comes indolence; for if there is no fixed purpose, there will be no activity As nothing can be accomplished without industry and an earnest purpose, so nothing great can be accomplished with any good degree of success, without order. ■ The one is indispensable to the other and they go hand in hand as co workers, in one’s success and elevation. By ir dustry men become eminent. No man was ever a great man who wanted to oe one. A great genius is without gene alogy. He is h's own ancestors and posterity, for he begins and ends with himself. Six of the leading representative statesmen of the formation period of the Republic, Hamilton, Sam Adams, Jefferson, Webster, Clay and Calhoun were without genealogy. Newton and Dalton held that genious was nothing but the power of patient industry, laboring continuously at a subject until you are through it. If one man succeeds better than another, it is through unwearied industry, it is not so much from any superiority that one man possesses over another, but from attention to study and perseverence in the object before them, is why some men succeed better ihan others. One cannot promise himself and keep his word, that he will be a genius, but he can be industrious, and he can train his mind tq concentrate itself. ’*lf it pleases God to take any ot my children, I hope it will be Isaac,” said a father, Isaac was a dull boy. But the “dull boy” at the age of 47 was known as the great Dr. Isaac Barrow. He had filled the Greek and mathematical chairs at Cambridge, had written books on Geometery and mathematics, and composed series of sermons which are storehouses of thought and lesions pf Industry, Godliness and truthfulness. He too ascribed Success to his industry and not to his pa tural parts, Webster wfVt a hard working man- In writing his speeches he would review his manuscript, underscore certain words, and erase others; the next day he would go over it again and not being suited at all with what he had written, would rewrite the whole speech the next day, ho would correct it again aqd on ynfil it suited hiqi. tylen £all me a “genius” he said, p-haw there is no genius about it, it’s noth'ng but downright hard work. People note jhe faqt U’at |nfi wgff.fd who jripmphgd pye]; phstsc I **, discoucagei*ueirr«.i<i resisftnee, and "amounted to something” in spite of everything, have not succeeded so much by virtue of any special gift as by paying close attention to their business, and using inwardly and in their own 4nd determfaation that every human being can muster up if he will. The gospel of luck, or of fate has not nowadays, and in this part of the worM, »<> many believers fajile rtian’js door, ane| is not opened *9 goes away-, never n^ryi I ’’,U nut true. ftiari wha gives himself up to be merely a mr.chine is getting out of himself the best that is in him. He must makeup ’.'is m’nd to grow, a .d he may grow by teing biduktriciis, and "yU » what: his to Idleness not only makes wasted lives but It bneds dissipation and crime. No voung man ought to be content to lead an idle life. Find s-mething to do. Keep busy. If you cannot secure ths jtlnd pl tnploymeiit wtyd jpu te'V pqH well, better things will u ime aOerwards. The young man who does nothing because he cannot commence at the top of the ladder, is always a failure in life. Commence at the bottom and po.

Twentyfour shot passed through his hand and Into the abdom-n, While but four of them passed through the intestines they did their work; the young man living but a short time.
