Victor Hugo on Immortality. “I feel in myself the future life.” I am like a forest which has more than

once been cut down. The new shoots sunshine is on my head. The earth gives me its generous sap, but heaven' lights me with the reflection of unknown worlds. “You say that the soul is nothing but the resultant of bodily powers. Why, then, is my soul the more luminous when my body powers begin to fail ? Winter is on my head and eternal spring in my heart. The nearer I approach the end, the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvellous, yet simple. It is a fairy tale, yet it is a history. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts in prose, history, philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode, song—l have tried them all. But I have not said the one thousandth part of what is in me. When Igo down to the grave I cau say like so many others I have finished my day’s work,’ but I cannot say I have finished my life. My day’s work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it as a thoroughfare; it closes in the twilight to open with the dawn.” H & O. Excurstcns.

Wakarusa is a live town on the AV abash line, amj from all indications will support a paper fairly , well. The citizens of Bourbon have on foot r scheme to form a new county by taking slices off of Marshall and Kosciusko counties, and makingtheir town the county seat. Walkerton might give them some pointers on that scheme. Christopher Watkins, residing southeast of Teegarden, died lust Monday morning at 2 o’clock, aged 76 years, 7 months and 8 days.

Byway of comparison let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and sells this to one thousand persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them saying: “1 will hand it to you in a short time.” The farmer does not want to be small, and says all right. Sep* bis one thousand bushels "re gone he has little to show for it, and hf then realizes that he has fooled awßy his crop and its val eto him is date him in a t housand little driblets, con^quently he is seriously -embarrassed’* in his business because his debtors, each owing him a dollar, treat him as a small matter and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of business year in and year out as the public does how long would it stand it? A moment’s thought will convince anyone that a publisher has cause for per sistent dunning.” To My Customers and Friends. , Being now located permanently in j the building west of the Independent ' office, i am better prepared than ever } to make a good fitting boot or shoe. । Only the highest ga de of stock j used.
