Democratic Sentinel, Volume 5, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 November 1881 — Happiness is in the Strife. [ARTICLE]

Happiness is in the Strife.

The most unsatisfactory thing in life is success. It sounds paradoxical to eay so, but it is profoundly true. The only thing about it that is worth the having is the struggle for it, and when it is attained the predominant feeling is a question as to whether it is worth the effort. Nine successful men out of ten, if they told the truth, would say that it was not, still if they had to live their lives over again they would struggle every bit as hard, because it was in them to do it and the struggle was the only Eart of the game worth having. It ept thorn alive, and once so successful that nothing lay ahead, they become morbid, dissatisfied and restless. A Maryland exchange refers to Mr. Thos. G. Forward, of Belair, that State, who was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of rheumatism.—Rochester (N. Y.) Sunday Morning Tribune. An Indianapolis scissors grinder claims to have been with the Duke of Wellington in forty battles, and that he received 132 sword outs and eleven gunshot wounds. We don’t believe the Duke of Wellington had any use for a scissors grinder. The Duke was not editing a paper, as we understand it Still, if the Duke did have a scissors grinder, who went around with his grinding machine, ringing a bell and snouting the way they do nowadays, we don’t blame the Duke’s neighbors for stabbing him 132 times and shooting him eleven times with a gun. He deserved it.— Peek's Shin.

Mr. E. G. Gartman, the business manager of the Evening Dispatch, of York, Pa., was cured of neuralgia by three applications of St. Jacobs Oil. Boston (Mass.) Saturday Evening Express. At the National Industrial Exhibition in Milan was exhibited an electrical voting apparatus, designed by Signor Roncelli, a member of the Italian Parliament. The idea is simply as follows : Each member of the house has iu front of him a metal plate bearing his' name. The plate is furnished with three metal buttons, marked respectfully, “ Aye,” “No ” and “ Abstain.” This plate is iu connection with a central printing apparatus, which prints in three separate columns the yeas, noes and abstainers, according as the members depress their respective buttons. A fourth column marks the absentees. At the moment of recording each vote, a number corresponding with the number of the vote appears, so that the total may be seen at a glance. By this system, members can vote and keep their ssats, a great saving of time being thus affected. If the mother is feeble, it is impossible that her children should be strong. Take Lydia E. Ppxkham’s Vegetable Compound. The damage done to the reputation of a heedless girl usually comes from women rather than from men.— London Truth. Physicians use Kiduoy-Wort in regular practice and pronounce its action perfect. Disraeli had the habit of saying: “If you are not clever, you should be conciliatory. ”
