Good Advice.

Hon. Alexander If. Stephens was recently at Augusta, Ga., where he was waited upo| by the members of a Hose Company which had changed its name from “Biunuerliasset” to ■‘Stephens Hose Company.” The Company presented to Mr. Stephens an address and a series of resolutions setting forth their change of name and their impelling motive. Mr Stephens availed himself of the opportunity to say a few words to the young men composing the Company. He told them “the buttle of life was opening for them,” and “that it was a terrible battle to fight;” that “they sho’d fix their aspirations high.” He advised them to be “tr ithful, honorable, honest, willing to do right to others, governed by integrity; these were private virtues. In public life let virtue, intelligence and patriotism be their guide. With all its troubles and errors, this is the greatest country in the world. There is nothing like it under the sun, for it gives liberty to all and an opportunity to young men to advance to any position. When he was a prisoner in a Federal Fort something was said about a proposition to be made to prisoners of State that if they wou d promise to leave the country and never return they snould be al jowed to do so. An officer mentioned this to him, and asked him what he would do. He said he for one wo’d not acaept such a proposition; he would rather be hanged in the United States than live in any other country Never strive for an office for the hon or it will confer. He would as soon have stolen goods as to seek for an office for the honor of it. Strive rather to confer honor upon the office. He impressed upon them the necessity of study. With ten hours for labor and eight for sleep, there would be six left. What would they do with these? Did they know how much could be learned in those six hours? Richard Henry Wilde, who becam e one of the greatest of poets and orators, was a clerk in a store, and had to study between times. William H Crawford was a school teacher, and from small beginnings rose to the highest positions. He was a eandi date at one time for the Presidency It was said that Napoleon said of him. at St. Cloud, that lie was the only man he taking off his hut to. He himself had commenced the study of law on the 28tL of May, 1831. and was admitted tcithe Bar in the following July. And it wat said he passed a very creditable examination. He bad studied Black-toue, Starke on Evidence, Chitty on Pleading, and the statutes of the State. He had also prepared his first speech, which he delivered on the Fourth of July. The great maxim which he learned when a boy was: Honor and nhamc from no condition rise. Act well your part, there all the honor lies.” Certainly such advice to young men, coming from a man like Alex-, ander H. Stephens, is worthy of wide reading, North and South, for none know better than the great Southern statesman himself the value of high aspirations and tireless industry.

DECORATION DAY,

In Rensselaer, eras observed in accordance with the programme here, tofore published in these columns.— After decoration of the graves, owing to the threatening appearanca of the weather, further proceedings were had in the Opera House. The orations of Judge Hammond and Bev. J. W. Luder were well received by the audience. It is impossible for u 8 to-day to give the orations in full, and therefore extract from the address of Judge H. that portion referring to the close of the war and the observance of the day. He said: “The Union was saved, and not a star faded from our National emblem. The shackles fell from tfie limbs of he slave, and four millions of human beings upon whom had descended the injustice and wrongs of two and a half centuries of bondage were made free, elevated to citizenship and given the ballot. I speak of these matters -as historical facts and as not coming within the range of any political controversy of the present day. And now after many years of peace, and at a time when we may hope that the bitterness of the conflict has in a great measure disappeared, we come to-day in obedience to a beautiful custom, with music aud banners and floral offerings to do honor to the memory of those brave men who died that their country might live.— All honor to their names! but as they I are beyond the reach of praise and J encomiums, we pay these tributes of I re ’pect for our own good; to cultivate . and enlarge our own patriotic feelings nnd to impress upon the youth of the a id that next to veneration for their I Creator, their highest duty consists

in loving their country. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,”and while we desire and hope that the safety of our country will never again be menaced by an internal or a foreign foe, yet the youth of the land should be taught that if, unhappily* the emergency should ever come, It will be their sacred duty to fight for* and if needs be lay down their lives for their country, as did those whose memory we honor to-day. This world, without liberty, would not even be a respectable habitation. Hence we hopor our forefathers who upon many bloody battle-fields secured for this cation the priceless inheritance of freedom; and we give equal honor to those of the late war,’ who by their valor and witn the loss of their lives, preserved this freedom to ourseives and coming generations.” The Ladies’ Literary Society closed the exercises of the day with a very appropriate and instructive pro* 1 gramme.

Over the County.

Barkley Items. A gentle shower would be of great benefit to our wheat, which Is now heading out. The youmz ideas, at Burns’, are being taught how to shoot by Miss Ida Coons, who is giving good satisfaction.

Mr. George Gratner,living one- half mile north of Center, is in a critical condition from the effects of injuries received by his team running away some time since. Mr. G. is one of our best citizens, and we hope he may soon recover.

At Center School House, on last Sunday, Rev. Thompson preached, to a large and intelligent audience, one of the most able, interesting and instructive sermons your correspond ent has ever listened to,

Corn-plowing is now the order of the day, consequently our corn looks fine and our fields are as void of weeds as a reporter’s pocket-book is of money. Why shoujdn t this be, when we have some of the best land in the county, and first class farmers who get up early each day, wotk hard all week, and don’t go to town every Saturday afternoon for a dram of that double-distill’d ? —Just ask Charley Price what the restof the sentence is

We have been permitted to peruse a letter from our old friend, M. C. Banfield, and thinking, as items are scarce, a few extracts from it would not be uninteresting, I give them, in substance, as follows. He says: “I started from Fran »esville on the evening train, Wednesday, April 13th, arrived in Chicago about 12 o’clock p. m., same day, Paid $45 for a thro’ ticket to Liverpool. On the 14th, at 9 a. m., took the train for Boston, and drank in the beauties of American scenery along the route untill reach-

ed tne capital of .the Bay State.— Then bidding farewell to “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” we set sail for England’s tranquil shore, and soon we were being wafted a'ong in a north-easterly direction, by gentle zephyrs from the southwest until after having been at sea eleven days, and sailing on an ave rage at the rate of 275 miles per day. we anchored safely in the harbor of the objective point of my through ticket. There I again took the train, and a journey of seven hundred miles iu a southerly direction brought me to that place said to be the dearest on earth - Home! Here I found friends and relatives all, except my father, enjoying the priceless boon of health.

“Times here are very hard, Wages for farm hands fom $lO to sl2 per month; miners from $lO to sls month. House rem from sls to S7O per year; land from sls to SIOO per acre, and $2 50 per acre for tithes. “So you can see that this government is administered iu the “interest of the rich at the expense of the poor,” who are no more thought of than an American dog, I long to come back to free America, and I will come as soon as circumstances wifi permit me to do so.” May 31,1881. A FARMER.

Lee Items.

Health good and business brisk. Gardens and small grain begin to need rain. The church-going people of this vicinity begin to talk of having a pio-nic or basket meeting soon, in what is known as Bear Grove, on the uncle Fred Rishling farm, near Lee. The Walter township correspondent of the Republican seems to claim tor that section tne largest girl, considering age. Well, we of Monon will enter the ring with a girl 13 years old* and weighs 195 lbs. She, too, was last winter voted a chromo by the people of Bradford as being the best looking girl in the burg. We, of Monon, also claim the most useful professional. Our man is a doctor, a preacher, a lawyer, a school teacher and a politician.—Can doctor a man in sickness; preach his funeral when dead; settle up the estate, and then educate the orphans; also ean make a political speech when desired. We also have, near Lee, the smallest young lady, considering age, in Jasper or White counties. She belongs to Jasper county, is 21 years old, and weighs less than 60 lbs.

Our young store-keeper has at last laid aside the gum boots, fiqa donned the straw hat and duster, and reads the Dkmocbatic Sxntimkl under a shade tree. Guess he has postponed that wedding. Cheer up, Cal, she has Just gone to visit her mother a few days.

Much serious sickness and suffering might be prevented bv promptly correcting those slight derangements that, otherwise,, often develop into settled disease.

The “half breeds” pre endeavoring to console themselves w]th a fable manufactured for the occasion by tne New York Tribune. The moral is that the withdrawal of a Giraffe and Trick Mule failed to break up a show, and notwithstanding the withdrawal of Conkling and Platt the radical menagerie willl continue its performances.

Keener Townshi?. June 1,1881, Editor Democratic Sentinai, : Dear Si;— l send you these few lines for p üblication,and the sentiment expressed is that of at least fourlifths of the voters of Keener township, I see by reference to the Republican of May 26th, 1881, that a bridge across the Kankakee river, at Dunn’s Ford, is a fixed fact. Now, in the language of Tax Payer, “a bridge across the Kankakee river, at Dunn’s Ford, is superfluous,” and will be of very little benefit to the people of Jasper county, only Hon. I. D. Dunn, who will be personally benefited several hundred dollars by the building of said bridge. This issue was made some two and a half years ago, during a closely contested campaign, and the idea not only denied but ridiculed. The bridge, if built, will only be a few rods over two miles west of the line Between Starke and Jasper counties, and but four miles west of San Pierre, a station on the line of the L., N. A. & C. RR., which gives to the people of the northern portion of Kankakee township a very good trading point; and if they wish to cross the river into Porter county they have only to go two miles up the river from the RR. crossing, and five miles below, to Baum’s bridge, which gives very good accommodations for getting to Koutt’s Station or Valparaiso, in Porter county. Therefore it is very difficult to conceive where public necessity requires the county to oe taxed the tune of fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars for the erection of a bridge at Dunn’s Ford.

Now I wish to speak of a petition for a bridge across the Kankakee river one and one-eighth mile west of the line between ranges 6 and 7, in Jasporcounty. The petition was filed June 5, 1877, and a survey of the route made by George Johnson, by virtue es an erder of the Commissioners. This bridge, if built, woud give the people of Keener township an outlet to Hebron, in Porter county, a distance of only five or six miles, but as now traveled wo have to go nine or ten miles east to Baum’s bridge, and the same distance back, before we can reach Hebron. If this bridge was built it would place Rensselaer and Hebron in diiect communication, which would be of great benefit to the people of both counties. But it seems as though we must wait yet a little while longer and vote the Republican ticket.

During ihe last compaign we were goaded with the party lash, and made to understand that if the present Commissioner of the second district was elected the grade and bridge over the Iroquois river in which be is interested should' await its turn, and the one wo wore interested in over tho Kankakee river, would receive his support. But, 10l our petition was—dismissed. Wonder if bis petition will be dismissed at the next term of Commlosionerr Court ANOTHER TAXPAYER. Choice Codfish cents a pound, at Kern’s new Grocery Store.
