TIIEOKKAU'S THOUGHTS.
Selections from his Journal Head by
His Biographer.
It was a happy thought to enter
tain the visitors at Mr. Alcott's
Summer school of philosophy, and
the Concord people with readings
from the journal of the town's fa
mous and eccentric genius, Henry
D. Thoreau. Last evening Mr. H.
G. O. Blake, the editor ofThoreau's
published writings, read in the ves
try of the Second Parish Church to
a select audience, among whom were
Ralph "Waldo Emerson tyul some of
the philosopher lecturers, many ex
tracts from Thorcau's journal, which
were copied hy him when, many
years ago, he first took a lively in
terest in the thoughts and keen
observations of Thoreau. Most of
his selections have never been in
print, hut it h possible that a few of
the passages below may be familiar
to the reader.
""When we cease to sympathize
with, and to be personally related
to, men, and bein to be universally
related, then we arc capable of in
spiring others with the sentiment of
love for us."
""What is pecular in tho life of a
man consists not in hi-? obedience,
but in his opposition to his instincts ;
in one direction or another he strives
to live in a supernatural vy."
"Do you know on what bushes a
little peace, faith and contentment
grow? Go a-bcrrying early and
late after them."
'Woe to him who wants a com
panion, for he is unlit to be the
companion even of himself."
"What does education often do?
It makes a straight-cut ditch of a
meandering brook."
"I love my friends very much, but
I find that it is no use to go to see
them. I hate them commonly when
I am i.earthein; they belie them-
J selves and deny me continually."
"I have certain friends whom I
visit occasionally, but I commonly
part from them early, with a certain
bitter-sweet sentiment. That which
we love is so mixed and entangled
with that we hate in one another
that we arc more grieved and dis
appointed, aye, and estranged from
one another by meeting than by
absence. Some men may be my ac
quaintances merely, but one whom
I have been accustomed to regard,
to idculize, to have dreams about as
a friend, and mix up intimately with
myself, can never degenerate into
an acquaintance. I must know him
on the higher ground or not know
him at all."
"Let ours be like the meeting of
two planets, not hastening to con
found their jarring spheres, but
drawn together by the influence of
a subtle attraction, soon to roll di
verse in their respective orbits from
this their perigee or poiut of nearest
approach."
"Tongues were provided
But to vex the ear with superficial
thoughts.
"When deeper thoughts upswcll, the
jarring discord
Of harsh bpcech is hushed, and senses
seem ,
As little as inay be to share the ecstacy."
"Cheap persons will ritand upon
ceremony, because there is no other
ground; but to the great of the
world wc need no introduction, nor
do they need any to us."
"That virtue wc appreciate is as
much ours as another's. We sec 90
much only as wc possess.""'
"There is no remedy for love but
to love more."
"Make the most of your regrets;
never smother your sorrow, but
tend and cherish it till it come to
have a separate and integral inter
est. To regret deeply is to live a
fast. By so doing you will be as
tonished to find yourself restored
once more to all your emoluments."
"There is nowhere any apology
for despondeucy. Always there is
life while life lasts, which, rightly
lived, implies a divine satisfaction."
"Whatever your sex or position,
life is a battle in which you are to
show your pluck, and woe be to the
coward. Whether passed on a bed
of sickness or in the tented field, it
is ever the same fair flag, and ad
mits of no distinction. Despair and
postponement are cowardice and
defeat. Men were born to succeed.
jjot to fail." "
"Man cannot afford to lc a natur
alist, to look at nature directly, but
only with the side of his eye. lie
I must look through and beyond her.
To look at her is as fatal as to look
!' at the head of Medusa. It turns the
man of science to stone. 1 feel that
I am dissipated by so many obscr-
rations. I should be the magnet in
i all this dust and filings. I knock
the back of my hand against the
I rock, nud as I smooth the skin I find
' myself prepared to study lichens
there. I look upon that man but as
a fungus. I have almost a slight
headache in the midst of all this
observing. How to observe is how
' Jto behave. Oh, for a little Lethe J"
, "Nothing is more saddening than
an ineffectual and proud intercourse
with those of whom wc expect sym
pathy and encouragement. I re
peatedly find myself drawn toward
certain persons but to bedisappoint
i ed. 2fo conscssions which arc not
radical are the least satisfaction. To
cultivate their society is to cherish
I & sore which can only be healed by
abandoning .them."
I "No fields are ro barren to mc as
j the, mcu from whom I expect every-
thing aud get nothing. In their
ij neighborhood I experience a pain
ful yearning for society which can
not be satisncd. tor tue natc is
greater than the love."
"The blue sky is a distant reflec
tion of the azure serenity that looks:
out from under a human brow."
Boston Advertiser.
Mexican Women.
If we aro to believe, says a cor
respondent of Ttc Woman's Jour
nal, that "the first requisite of man
is to be a good animal," our Mexi
can sisters are vastly our superiors.
Instead of perfect health being the
exception, as I fear is too often the
cuse with us, feebleness aud ailings
arc rare. The women, as a rule,
live to a hale, nud hearty old age
without even having heard of the
thousand and one ailments that
afflict their sex elsewhere. The
j-oung arc vigorous and hear an al
most unlimited number of children
without apparent decrease of
strength. This physical superiority
does not seem traceable to any one
cause. Perhaps it is the "survival
of the fittest." Children arc cared
for in what would seem to ua most
reckless manner. I have seen new
born babe, for example, in biting
cold weather wrapped in a small
cotton sheet, without other garment
thau a cambric shirt, aud this is the
universal custom in the hest regula
ted households. There are no tn
tisiics at hand to support the asser
tion, but I judge the average
number of births in a family to be
from ten to twelve. A large per
centage of these never reach matur
ity, and it is allowable to presume
that those who have the most power
of endurance survive.
On the other hand, corsets are hut
little known, aud the old fashion of
high-heeled shoes lias never
reached here. There arc no reform
waists to supply the place of the
corset, but the skirts are usually
made light and worn with sacques,
so that the outrages to the human
form are less glaring than in more
civilized (?) communities. Steels,
whale-bone and tight-waisted dress
es are for gala days only, and then
for the privileged 'few. The home
garments are invariably loose and
comfortable. This, though not the
perfection of dress reform, is an im
provement on the dress of the aver
age American woman.
Aain, these women are not
overworked. They perform tAcir
labor in a slow, easy-going manner,
whether in the kitchen or bed-room,
or in the parlor, at their sewing or
fancy work. Unlike us, who know
no moderation in the use of a char
acteristic valuable in itself, but the
abuse of which is sapping our very
life a? a people, they do not exhaust
their nervous forces in hurried races
with time. If to-day is not suffi
ciently long, manana, to-morrow,
stretches out invitingly before them
in delightful indefiuitcucss. Time
is absolutely no object.
It would be curious to investigate
the reason why, in this land where
"woman's rights" are almost unheard
of, where, in many respects, the
women are helplessly dependent,
and where there is so little general
enlightenment, married women are
independent financially that is to
say, they arc treasurers of the part
nership, aud are not subjected to the
humiliation of asking their hus
bands for every cent they need for
their own expenses and those of the
household. The husband considers
that his wife is as much entitled to
his earnings as he is, and leaves
their disbursement to her judgment.
I am glad to say that she does not
abuse this confidence. She is pru
dent and economical, and often
shows more sagacity than he in the
use of the moncv.
JL-.uIich Kconoiay Club.
There is a Ladies' Economy Club
in Philadelphia. The members
have husbands who get small sala
ries and to make these salaries go
as far aa possible is one of the ob
jects of the organization. It is an
nounced at every meeting that the
next assemblage will be at the
house of Mrs. , one of the mem
bers, and in this way each member
has one of the meetings in her par
lor. These gatherings are conduct
ed upon the principle of cxperience
inectings, a member rising in place
and without cmbarrasstneut (because
she knows by virtue of their presence
the pecuniary situation of those who
surround her), telling how she man
ages to get along on her husband's
small salary. These experiences arc
intended as lessons by which all who
listen arc to profit. Gentlemen arc
not supposed to invade these places,
but often they get in under pretense
of deep interest in the cause, and it
was such a subterfuge that accounts
for a Record reporter's presence at
one a few days ago. It was in the
parlor of a modest three-story house
in the northwestern section. The
hostess welcomed her callers with a
bright smile, and, as the ladies were
all good talkers, it was not long be
fore they proceeded to business. It
started with making children's
clothing, nud the manner in which
"papa's" old breeches were put to a
new service after he had doffed them
was astonishiug to listen to. Old
coats, hats, thirls, etc., were, under
skillful manipulation of the house
wife, twisted into some useful gar
ment for some little one at home.
The talk took a wide range, aud
fairly turned inside out every de
partment of the household. One
lady declared that her husband re
ceived only $600 per annum, and yet
by economy with that amount she
kept her two children nicely dress
ed. Courtship ia not ruu by the " rnle
of three."
For the Journal.
The Poncas and Mr. Tibbies.
The Omaha Jiee sneeringly says
that Tibbies is still pestering the
Bostoniaus in behalf of poor Lo.
This implies that the Poncas, mul
the Indians generally, ought to be
left to their fate. Perhaps so: but
it is not so safe to leave Justice to
her fate, for she has a very ugly
way of revenging herself for such
neglect. I take it that Mr. Tibbies
has not taken tip the cause of the
PonraR from any particular fondness
for them, or for their race, but be
cause Justice was shamefully vio
lated in our treatment of them. If
any one can read the account of
their treatment without feeling his
blood boil, there is email occasion
to envy his moral constitution. Aud
the fact that the grand old writ of
Habeas Corpus has at last been
found available for the protection of
every one within American limits,
is a triumph of justice which ought
to secure Mr. Tibbies something
butler than a sneer.
But we notice, from Harper's
Weekly, that the Santees are threat,
cued, and that by a Nebraska Sena
tor, with a fac-aimile of the treat
ment measured out to the Poncas,
which perhaps accounts for the Bee's
contemptuous bearing towards tho
patron of these. It seems that the
Santees have petitioned for home
stead rights, and that this sure indi
cation of their wish to incorporate
themselves with American civiliza
tion ia treated by this Nebraska
Senator as a crime worthy of ban
ishment from the State. The wicked
Naboths, that arc so contemptuous
of the rights of the royal race as to
say, "The Lord forbid that I should
sell the inheritance of my fathers
unto thee!" It is plain that for
such au answer they deserve to be
stoned. Aud no doubt there arc
sons of Bcli-.il enough ready to bear
witness against them. Can it be
that one of the two witnesses re
quired by the Mosaic law could be
procured from the Senate of the
United States, and the other from
an editorial chair in the Israe!itih
city of Jezrccl no, we mean Oma
ha? Hawkeye.
PolZf Counts".
From the Osceola Record.
Calmar McCune, on Tuesday,
purchased at mortgage sale, the
Swearingen farm for $1,000.
There will be no fair in Platte
count. Wc cordially invite the
citizens of that county lo come lo
Polk.
The University Faculty are ex
pected to arrive Friday evening.
Let there be a good turn out to wel
come them.
Polk county fair will be held
October 9th and 10th on W. II. Wa
ter's ground one-fourth of a mile
northeast of Osceola. The officers
are called lo meet at the Court
House next Saturday, Sept. 6th, to
arrange the premium list and ap
point committees.
The Journal man says that it is a
lie that the Omaha, Plattsmouth aud
Nebraska City papers are publish
ing to tho effect that the public debt
of Lancaster county is -$2,000,000. It
may be a lie, friend, but even if so,
it is not a miserable, thieving, cow
ardly, gangrened lie, such as the
Journal is in the habit of telling.
The public debt of Lancaster county
is not lets than !?1,000,000, -and tbe
cotovinZ knows exactly how it was
contracted, too I Lincoln Democrat.
Think twice before you believe
every evil story you hear, and think
twenty times before you repeat it,
especially if it be about a woman.
Say to yourself, "This may not be
true, or it may be exaggerated," un
less you have proof of the veracity
of your informant. Persons some
times tell falsehoods; they often
make mistakes, and they sometimes
"hear wroiiar."
Let men tremble to win the hand
of woman, unless they win it with
the utmost passion of her heart.
Else it may be their miserable for
tune, when some mightier touch
than their own may have awakened
all her sensibilities, to be reproached
for the calm content, the marble
image of happiness, which will have
to be imposed upon her as the warm
reality.
"You did not deign to notice mc
yesterday," said a beautiful fair one
to a gentleman at Atlantic City. "I
did not see you," frankly responded
the gentleman. "You could, if you
would only have turned your head."
" My dear friend," gallantly res
ponded the gentleman, "if I had
done so, I feel sure it wotdd not
have been the first head your charms
have turned."
A Philadelphia miss at Long
Branch bothers the young men to
whom she is introduced by starting
off in this way before they have a
chance to say a word: " Yes: it is
awfully hot. We came last week.
We will stay two weeks more. We
are at this, hotel. I like Long
Branch. Now, let's talk about
somelhingeis'e."
Genujn&ueighborly love knows

nothing bidden from light or heat.
A petite, blue-eyed maiden, who
was nursing her fifth Christmas
doll, and listening to her mother
and some female friends talking
about domestic broils and divorces,
created rather a pleasant sensation
by remarking, "Well, ma, I'm never
going to marry. I'm going to be a
widow."
A bashful young man could defer
the momentous question no longer,
so he. stammered : "Martha, T I

A man wearing wet clothes and
carrying a fishing rod aud a basket,
stopped a train on the Erie railroad
by giving I he danger signal.
"What's the matter?" the conductor

and thought the passenger.-, mil! lit
like to look at it.

A boy on South Hill toiled haul
