As this is the customary week formaking new resolutions, just read somethat Bishop Beveridge made two hun-dred years ago: "I am resolved, by thegrace of God, never to speak much, lestI often speak too much, and not to speakat all, rather than to speak to no pur-pose. Always to make my tongue andheart go together, so as never to speakwith the one what I do not think in theother. To speak of other men's sinBonly before their faces and of theirvirtues only behind their backs."

Fremont is quite a city in severalways, and has the reputation of beingone of the prettiest in the state. Amongits possessions is an indebtedness that,in times like these, is quite an offset toits many advantages. It owes, in thous-ands of dollars, 89 in water bonds, 38 forpaving, 15 for city hall, 10 for courthouse, 80 for 6ewer, and curbing bondsenough to bring it up to 8233,265, theannual interest charge of which amountsto S12,905. Besides this large indebted-ness, the Fremont Bchool district has835,000 in bonds outstanding. Quitea city.

It bits a Nebraska man just as it hitsother men, and hits him hard. TheBeaver Crossing Review, south of us afew scores of miles, has this paragraph:"Comrade J. W. Draper, living four milesnorineast of the Crossing, in K town,who is so blind that he is barely able tofeed himself, heard from Hoke Smith,last Tuesday, and had his pension ofeight dollars per month suspended, beingallowed thirty days in which to showreason why it should not be permanentlystopped. Comments are unnecessary.Actions speak louder than words andhave done so all through Mr. Cleveland'sadministration."

It is the duty of the merchant hav-ing goods to sell to advertise them in thenewspaper which makes his town a placeworth doing business in, says the OmahaHerald. If a merchant in another townhas the good sense to advertise in a newspaper, it is the publisher's duty to acceptsuch patronage. If the home merchantdesires to hold this trade let him adver-tise liberally in his home paper and hewill hold it. The merchant who doesnot think enough of "home institutions"to patronize his homo paper, does notconduct a "home institution" himselfand is not entitled to "home patronage."

John G. Maher and A. M. Morrisseyof Chadron were in the city Thursday.They are visiting relatives and friendsat Platte Center.

That is quite aflourishing town in north Nebraska anexcellent business, a splendid line ofbuildings (having abundant buildingstone within a few miles), and a numberof new enterprises projected, amongwhich are a beet-sug- ar factory, the soilhaving shown that it contains a greatabundance of saccharine, a considerableabove the per cent shown by the Nor-folk beets.

"At the meeting of the directors ofthe Normal School and Business Collegecompany at Fremont, reports were re-

ceived showing that the attendance atthe Normal has been greater during thelast ten years than that of the StateNormal school at Pern for the first tenyears of its existence, entitling Mr.Clemmons to have tho Normal propertydeeded to him. The necessary papersare being made out that will make Prof.Clemmons the owner of this magnificentproperty." The above is from the WestPoint Republican, and reminds us of theday when Prof. Jones landed in Colum-bus to talk to our citizens of startinghere a Normal school. That same even-ing 80,000 was raised by subscriptionsfor the project, but Fremont offeredbetter inducements and more of them,and Prof. Jones went there and organ-ized what has proved to be to Fremontone of the best institutions she has everencouraged and helped to flourish.

The Olympian of November 2d con-

tains an item of interest to the manyfriends here of the bride, whose gentlegoodness and native nobility of charac-ter won her friends in all her acquaint-ances. "At the home of Mr. and Mrs.Fred Carlyon, east of Olympia, MissGertrude E. Carlyon and Mr. George C.Hinton, both of Victoria, B. C, weremarried yestorday. The ceremony wasperformed at 1 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Jos-ly- n,

of the Methodist church. The bridewas attired in a pretty gown of whitesilk, trimmed with duchess lace. Decorations of ivy, vines and chrysanthe-mums gave the house a very attractiveappearance, and after the ceremony,which was witnessed only by tho immediate relatives, an elegant dinner wasserved. The bride was the recipient ofmany handsome gifts. Mrs. Hinton isthe sister of Fred and Dr. P. H. Carlyon,and has made her home in thiB city forthe past five months, during which timeshe has gathered around her a largecircle of friends. Tho groom is a prom-inent electrician of Victoria. Mr. andMrs. Hinton departed on the afternoontrain for their home in Victoria."

Tho Woman's State Federation hasalready shown vitality enough to becounted upon as an important (and per-chance a very important), featuro in ourcommercial, ousmess, social and evenpolitical interests. Local clubs are beingorganized in the principal cities andtowns of Nebraska, and as a matter ofcourse, Columbus will soon be amongthe list. A model home is an earthlyparadise, but there is no safety to thehome, so long as outside influences forthe bad are permitted to dominate andinterfere with or destroy the work of themothers in tho home. Moral integrity,the stamina of individual character, andthat without which a community lackswholesomo life, is the chief glory ofwoman, her real life and beauty andwealth of character, and without hergentle, heart presence in the world itwould indeed be a sorry place. Occupa-tions that fifty years ago were not opento her at all, aro now as froo to her asthey are to her fellow man, and she hasdemonstrated in many ways her right toplace, to occupations, to wages, to self--help, independent action, self-respe-

ct andprogress.

Two Marguerite's,was a sweet happy mitoOne with

dancing ringlets, and 'witching eyes withglint of diamonds; with a smile like asummer sunbeam, with a laugh like thegurgle of a brook dashing seaward overits bed of rocks. Flowers! she lovedthem. Tho iosos wero her especial de-

light. Tho livelong day sho loved towander among them.

Always happy, never still. Sho washer mother's joy and hope. Her father'spride. This dear, sweot. little Marguerite.

And there was another child, but oh,so unlike the first. So cold and still inthe silence of tho eternal sleep sho lay,with the dampness of death upon thofair little face.

Closed the pretty azuro oyes, neveragain to open and leam in gladness 'tillthe morning when the mists shall clearaway, and the blessed sunlight falls in ashower of glory upon tho walls of jasper.

But the sweet smile remained as ofyore, and hovered faintly 'round themute lips, tho lips that nover again onearth shall open. Folded across thostill breast wero tho little hands, whiletho tiny waxen fingers grasped, as indays gone by, ono of tho roses she lovedso well.

Round the forehead of marblo clustered tho auburn curls, wet with thetears of agony that fell from tho oyes oftho sorrowing mother, who in dim dark-

ness watched tho little spirit forsako itsfair habitation.

But it is over, and tho cold, cruel clodsare falling on the flower-bedecke- d coffin,whilo a strong man v.mnnurs "Decs iovult," and tho dews fall; where thoflowers bloom, and tho zephyrs whispera requiem; whero the birds carrol sweet-

est song3 through tho branches, a posey-strew- n

mound marks tho spot wheroquiet, oh! so quiet, reposes tho otherMarguerita.

And who shall say that beyond thoborder line there is not a fairer land thanthis? Priests and preachers may err intheir description, but away out some-

where in tho great white eternity, wherothe fields aro ever green in tho noverending May time, whero tho ripplingwaters plash over the pebbles of silver, alittle child wanders 'mid tho flowers sholoved, and angels guide her through theeverlasting gardens, as she listens to thelow sweet melodies of heaven.

But bye and byo tho little spirit willweary, and will long for a familiar face,and then a white form will walk down tothe gates of tho city, and tiny hands willswing tho portals of pearl on their hingesof gold, and across tho river will como achildish call for tho loved ones on thisside.
