DIG FOR IT AT HOME.
"Would yon have the shining metal?
Do not o'er the wide world roam,
Following a fle&tiug phantom
Stay and dig for Hat home.
Do not heed the luring story
Treasures distant hillsides hold ;
Ten'adventnrers, disappointed,
Stand for every ounce of gold.
"Wishing still for something better,
'Many fancies youth will rear;
Mountains of the yellow mica,
In tho distance, gold appear.
And the longing Is contagious.
Drinking from a leadenjeup,
For tho means of grander living,
On highways to pick it up.
But dame Fortune is too flcklo
In her train afar to roam,
"Would you win her golden treasuro
Stay and dig for it at home.
In tho land that lies before you
Find your wealth by honest toll;
Never votary disappointed
Rightly sought the generous soil.
Only faint, weak hearts repining
Cast away the good at hand;
Fortune's smile will rarely crown them
Sought for in a distant laud.
Butsucccss rides on before you.
Grapple it and you will win ;
Lo ! e'en now, the mists are rifting
And tho tides are rushing In.
Let no foreign expedition
Inro your restless steps to roam ;
Gold is nearer than tho mountains
Stay and dig for It at home.
. OBIMPS VS. CALICO.
It wa3 the last week in May, one of
those balmy, beamy days when the
Bky 6miles down as blue as a bed of
blossoming gentian, and the air is
rife with those faint, undefined scents
that make one think of all nature's
Bweet and gentle influences.
Paul Graham looked wistfully
heavenward from the windows.
"It's the very weather for the coun
try," said Mr. Graham to himself.
"I think I'm a little Inclined to be
bilious. I believe I need a change.
A day or two in the oountry freshens
One up wonderfully, I've heard say."
How marvelously easy it is to do as
one pleases!
And all the while Mr. Graham made
himself believe that he did really
need a change that he needed the
country.
"They've often Invited me there,"
Baid Mr. Paul, looking out his neatest
fitting shirts and oritically seleoting
his handsomest neokties, "and I don't
see why I never have been there be-
fore."
So Mr. Paul Graham took the train
. to get a ohange of air, and also to see
Miss Bosamond Hillgrove.
"Wouldn't you like to marry and
settle down, Bosamond ? said her
friend, Miss Albertis, with a sigh.
Bosamond colored violently.
"What nonsense you talk, Ade
line!" she retorted. "It's so probable,
Isn't It?"
"Nothing is impossible," said Ad
eline Albertis, thinking of Mr. Paul
Graham's beautiful white teeth, and
his facility in waltzing.
The next morning dawned fair and
radiant, and Bosamond Hillgrove
sang like any linnet as she tripped
along the pathway that made a Bbort
cut between her house and that of
Adeline Albertis.
MIbs Albertis was practicing a Bon-
.ata on the piano in a fascinating toi
let of palo green delaine aud beryl
'.tinted ribbons.
She turned around lugreatastonfsh
ment aB Bosamond crossed the thresh
old. "Dear me J" cried she, what is tho
matter? A calico dress, aud your
.hair not in crimps!"
"House cleaning," said Misa Bosa
mond, succinctly.
"You don't mean to say that you
havo anything to do with it?" cried
Adeline, contemptuously,
"Don't I though!" retorted Bosa-
. mond. -"You'd beftter come and look
if you don't believe it. What I'm
after to-day is to borrow a paint
brush."
"A paint brush! What for?"
"To do .papa'a room with. He'll be
home to-morrow night, and I am de
4ermined tho room shall be complet
ed ready (or him. Tho painter has
sot come, and I see no signs of him.
Consequently, I mean to paint the
room myself."
"Bosamond!"
"Well?"
"Aroyou crazy?''
"Not In the least."
"You know nothing of painting","
cried Adelino.ibreRthlessly.
"Now look here, Addy, don't be a
goose," said Bosamond, calmly. "I
took lessons in landscape painting two
quarters, and if I can't make two
doors and a eorap of wainscoting look
decent, why, then, my education is a
failure.
j-uu 10 mo uuueai, gin jl ever neard
of, Bosamond,'" said Miss Albertis;
"and you do look bo funny without
yout crimps."
"Very likely, said Miss Bosamond,
walking off. "But I've no time to
waste. The step ladders are ready,
,and tho paint all mixed, like white,
foamy cream, and here I go for the
paint brush out of your mother's
umber-room."
Bosamond Hillgrove vanished like
a calico dream, and Miss Albertis
went back to her sonata.
Half an hour afterward there came
a ring to the front-door bell, and Mr.
Graham was announced.
Adeline turned a rosy pink with
Satisfaction and surprise.
"Oh, Mr. Graham!" holding out
both her plump white hands ; "I am
io glad to see you I"
But Paul, wretch that he was, did
not return the salutation in kind.
" I beg your pardon," stammer
ed he. "I supposed Miss Hillgrove
lived here. I was told so a short dis
tance baok."
Adeline Albertis bit her lip.
"No," said Bho, "speaking with a
little constraint: "it is tho next
house. You can just see the white
chimneys peeplngoutabovo the trees.
"But Wrml ,... i .
.. . .you hlu ana rtBtv" no
jnl resolutely took up his valise
have a note from Mrs. Percalo to Miss
Hillgrove, and I must deliver it at
once."
"But you will call you will come
again?"
"Most assuredly, I shall do myself
that pleasure," said Paul, politely.
But Addy knew the difference ini getting along too fust.. He pursued
the ring of the real metal and mere
hollow, conventional courtesy.
And the sat down nnd cried in n
rage, when Paul Graham had taken
his departure.
"But there's one consolation," she
said to herself, suddenly brightening
up. "Bosamond is cleaning house in
calico, and no crimps, and her head
tied up in a speckled pocket-hand
kerchief, and if ho isn't prett3'
thoroughly disenchanted the moment
he sets eyes upon her then I am no
prophetess. Men always do despise
house-cleaning and all Its parapher
nalia. He'll be sure to come back."
So Miss Albertis put on an addition
al knot or so of ribbon, readjusted
her artistic masses of hair, and sat
down to a little picturesque needle
work. "BoEamond has worked out her
own matrimonial destruction this
time," said she.
While Mr. Graham trudged on, his
eyes steadily fixed on the white
chimneys behind the trees. Ho
knocked at tho door.
No one heard. He knocked a little
louder.
No one answered.
He opened the door and "ahom
med" very distinctly.
Still no signs of life.
"Queer, this," said Mr. Graham.
"The place can't be an enchanted pal
ace, with everyone under a spell. I
will try a little farther."
He opened a door and walked in
and there, mounted on a tall step-ladder,
with a brown apron all around
her stood Miss Bosamond Hillgrove,
painting away at the top of a window
as if her life depended upon it.
"Oh," said Miss Bosamond, with
out turning around, "you've come at
last, have you ? Then vou walk off
again! I'm half through the job my
self by this time, and havo no sort of
need of your services."
jum ouiu xu.1. uiuuuui.
Bosamond turned around with a
little shriek, and nearly fell oft the
step-ladder.
"Oh! Mr. Graham, is it you? I
thought it was tho painter."
"Ye3, it is I. What are you do
ing?" "I'm painting," said Bosamand,
bluBhinp to the very roots of the non
crimped hair.
"I'll help you, said our hero.
"I wish you would, "said Bosa
mond calmly accepting the position.
And then she toid him how it all
was.
"You're not very much shocked at
my behavior?" said she.
"Shocked !" cried Paul. "I regard
you as a model to all tho 3roung ladies
of the nineteenth century."
"Now you're laughing at me," said
Bosamond.
"Ypon my word and honor I am
not," responded Mr. Graham ; and
Bosamond saw that he waB in earnest.
Miss Albertis waited all day long,
looking up tho road like Sister Anne
Blue Beard's tower, but Mr. Graham
didn't come.
"How provoking!" said Miss Al
bertis. ''But Bosamond Hillgrove
always had such a way with tho gen
tlemen ! I'm glad that I'm not a born
coquette."
Mr. Paul Graham called the next
day with Bosamond, when she came
to return the paint-brush ; and the
fair Adeline was more dissatisfied
than ever.
"I suppose, now that you've got
company, ' she snapped, you'll post
pone house cleaning until Mr. Gra
ham has gone."
"Oh, no," returned Bosamond, se
renely. "Ho saj's he'll help; so we
shall go on just the same. And he's
so handy!"
Whether it was over a whitewash
pail or a sea of soap and sand, or
while training up the honeysuckle
vine over the south porch, deponent
saithnot; but certain it Is that Paul
Graham and Bosamond Hillgrove
became engaged during tho young
lawyer's brief holiday.
"I don't see how Bosamond man
aged," said Miss Albertis, when she
heard of it.
But tho secret of the matter was,
that Bosamond didn't "manage" at
all.
The Young Lawer.
The tie which bound a certain De
troit 3Touth to a lawyer's office was
severed yesterday, and his parents
were happy. They wanted the boy
to make a great lawyer, but ho was
his studies with an ardor which casta
judicial shadow o'er the household
and created considerable neighbor
hood talk. He got trusted for candy
and repudiated the bill on the ground
that he was a minor. He bought a
dog and went into bankruptcy. He
borrowed a pair of skates and defied
the owner to get out a writ of replev
in. He borrowed fifty cents and then
made tho lender his assignee.
But the worst of it was in the fam
ily He had a legal name for almost
ever3'thing, and his desire was to
prove to his parents that he was just
absorbing dead-loads of law. If he
wanted a potato at the dinner-table
he would rematk :
"Father, file 013- claim against that
baked potato and I'll prove the in
debtedness this afternoon."
If he wanted bread he said :
"Mother, get me out a writ of at
tachment for a piece of bread."
It was expected of him that he
would buid tho morning fires, but no
sooner had he gained an Insight Into
law than he said to his father :
"I'm going to move for a ohange of
venue unless some other arrangement
is made."
He moved for a stay of proceedings
when asked to go to the grocery, and
If chided for being out nights ho re
plied :
"File your declaration and give me
a chance for a jury trial."
When he was in a good humor he
would sit and regale his mother with
stories about how Old Chancery was
going up town one night and met
Old Equity and asked him how De
cree was getting along. Old Plead
ings and Exceptions came along just
then, nnd there was a big fight, and
the young lawyer would slap his leg
and add :
"If Iudiotment had only been there
he'd have whaled the whole crowd !"
The other day the long-suffering
father severed the tie. He was try
ing to bear up, hoping for reform, but
as ho sat down to the tea table his son
brightened up and remarked :
"The defendent will now take the
stand and be sworn. Now, sir, did
you or did 3'ou not coraeout of a Gris
wold street saloon at eleven o'clock
this morning, wiping 3'our mouth on
the back of 3'our hand? Tell the jury
all about it, sir!"
It was a little too much, and the
boy dosen't Btudy law any more. He
plays with a wood-pile in the back
yard. Detroit Free Press.

Yourjevery day toilet is n part of
your character.
A girl who looks like a 'fury' or a
sloven In the morniug is not to be
trusted, however finely she may look
in the evening, No matter how hum
ble your room may be, there are eight
things it should contain, viz: a mir
ror, washstand, soap, towel, comb,
hair, nail and tooth brushes. Those
are just as essential as your breakfast,
before which you should make good
and free use of them. Parents who
fail to provide their children with such
appliances, not only make a great
mistake, but commit a sin of omis
sion. Look tidy in tho morning, and
after the dinner work Is over, im
prove your toilet. Mako it a rule of
your daily life to 'dress up' for the af
ternoon. Your dress may, or need
not be, anything better than calico ;
but with a ribbon, or some bit of orn
ament, you have an air of self-respect
and satisfaction that invariably comes
with being well dressed. A girl with
fine sensibilities cannot help feeling
embarrassed and awkward in a rag

tinues to control the entire starch
trade oft the west. Over $150,000 is in
vested In the enterprise, and employ
ment given to about 100 hands. Over
10Q0 bushels of corn are used up every
twenty-four hours, tho average paid
last year being 35 cents per bushel.
All this corn is purchased direct from
our farmers. Twelvo tons of starch is
the daily yield. It is mostly shipped
to the east, and is sold at about four
cents per pound. The demand for tho
starch made by this factory far ex
ceeds its capucity, and this demand is
not confined to this side of the Atlan
tic. During the year 1875 a new corn
crib was built, with a capacity of 100,
000 bushels of corn, aud additions
were made to the drying department,
some $6,000 being expended in these
improvements. From 500 to GOO head
of cattle and 1000 head of hogs are an

THE NEBRASKA ADVERTISER
has now entered upon its
Twentieth Year,
and is the
OLDEST PAPER IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age has
not caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to explod
ed fogyisms, but otherwise j and to-day it stands on a
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard of tlie Great Army of
Progression,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of good
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AND HUMAN HIGRTS.
When the question was presented between Treason an
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes ana
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and.believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of this doctrine. From the attitude or
the opposition the duty of every Republican is obvious.

After a great snow storm a little fel
low began to shovel a path through a
large snow bank before his grand
mother's door. He.had nothing but
a small shovel to work with.
"Bow do you expect to get through
that drift?" asked a man passing
along.
"By keeping at it," said the boy,
cheerfully; "that's how !"
That Is the secret of mistering al
most every difficulty under the sun.
If a hard task is before you, stick to it,
and little by little it will grow smal
ler, until it is done.
If a hard lesson is to be learned, do
not spend a moment in fretting; do
not lose breath In saying, "I can't"
or I do not see how;" but go at it and
keep at it steady. That is the only
way to conquer it.
If a fault is cured, or a bad habit
broken up, it cannot be done by mere
ly being sorry, or only trying a little.
You must keep fighting until it Is got
rid of.

kw equals, if any, in the State : and wp nnrP n..r
readers that it shall be kept up, in every respect, equal
to its present standard of excellence, until we make it
better by various improvements which we have in view
just so soon as times improve among the people fi
nancially so as to justify us in making such improvements.
At the commencement of the volume just closed
we promised our patrons that The Advertiser should
be in the. future a better family paper than it had ever
oeen Before ; that we hlled our columns not with old
"dead" advertisements, but wjth choice reading pre
pared with care for a varietv to suit the P-eneral reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than any other weekly in the State,
demonstrating that our ambitious declaration are not
an empty blow, and that we do not make promises
only to break them.
