'ilckaDT? Express. 1UDAY, NOVEMBER 1, iSSO, . LEBANON MUST CO f ''ORWARD! who can not, si mils - Kit, PL'trojjvmle out' step backward. It U tuo Into in the tidy now, to talk of past mtatakt's or recriminate ou Mm fu'nlta of others, we hove the litlUR pitat with which to do; and wu mihst Inert the resiwasihlUtlvB of the flood tide that is on us. Our towu is buil. ling faster Uiaii the moat sanguine expectations of the greatest vnlhuslast ; notwithstanding over fifty residences have been built In the past six months, ytit every house I occupied uud in some houses there are more than one family ; nono but a croaker or a pessimist will gninsay n btlll brijhter future, Now the one preat question to our mind is, lww to jrlvw employment, regular and con Ktuut, to the toiling masses who win bread by the smack of their sweat. Emigrants uud home seekers expect some means of regular employment our lands are rich and cheap enough, and everything is here to please the eye and charm the prosjMjetor, but a prudent man looks to something more, "where ftru the toilers to gather?" We must build factories we must have more power to do it with. "The gods liuip them that help themselves," and if we waut capitalists to help Lebanon, then Lebanon must first help herself. There in plenty of money and brains in Le!aaou to bring in the ditch, the question K have w the enterprse? Kolf interest surely demand our united a.itt earnest effort. Thi ditch when completed, will add from o;e to three hundred prr cent to real estate, will 'give -employment to numbers and thus increase the volume f trade. Every dollar invested will pay a large dividend to the share holder,!and will be the basis of a pros perity undreamed of. It will then be to the iuterest of the capitalist to come and invest, and they will gather here "like the eaglea to the carcs." We call upon one and all "without regard to race or color or previous con dition,' agitate this question in such :i way that action, ACTION ! will take tlie place of twatlling talk. If Albany can take her power from here and make money by se.ling the power, surely we f can accomplish as much with the water at our doors. Who will show their loy uky to Lebanon and receive the plaud its of a grateful public by taking the lead in this matter? We solicit sugg stlons, plans or wel come any move towards the accom plishment of this one great enterprise for Lebanon. More anon. When I think ef the towel, the old fashion towel, that used to hang up by the printing house door, I think that nobody in these days jbf shoddy can hammer out iron to Jear as it wore. The tramps, who abused if, tho devil, who used it, the com p., who got at it when theso two were gone, the make up and tiie fore-man, the editor, poor man, each rubbed some grime of! while they put a heap out. In, over and un der, 'twas blacker than thunder, 'twas harder than poverty, rougher than sin; from Uie roller suspended, it was never bended, flapped ou the wall like a banner of tin. It grew thicker and rougher aud harder and tougher, and daily put on a fjtore inkier hue, until ouo windy morning without any, warning, fell to the floor and was brok en in two. Curdette.

A lover, says an exchange, declared his passion to bl$ loved one in the fol lowing huijrungo: "Iiy the Intervention 6f the Invisible hand ot Providence I have been pre vented from precipitating myself tit your foot, for the- entire absolution of tins c'olleotaneoim calumny which has beeit so shiaderously conglomerates Upon the unblotted and lmophlst!cat- 1 face of my stalnlwa reputation, nnd with which I have bora & mutlrthusly clroumvallated that lapproheruled the most mountainous, colossal and hercu lean difficulties In perfectly disincar cerating myself lrom the erUtiintua machinations, in which I bail bopu 8t unmercifully immured.

Awake thou that clcst. There fore let us not sleep a do others. A live church is a thing of beauty and a pleasure to the Lord. Eaoh mmbcr ought to strive to make other better, and be prepared for future usefulness : By a new consecration. By quitting your meanness and fault-finding. By erecting a fcou'ly altar. By forgiving all your enemies. ' By parting company with the dead. By attending all social meetings. By keeping your bump of self-esteem wll poulticed. By taking your churqh paper and reading it oarefnlly. By reading everything you can gel on spiritual growth. By eeesing in every way possible to give a reason for the hojc that you profess to have. Strive to grow in Knowledge, m well as in grat e, for an unread Christian is much line u niuley calf in a herd of Texan steers. Look well to the living if you have a loved one parsed over before you; do not spend all your strength and energy on the departed, for they are beyond your help, but reach a helping hand to the living, poridhinjr; young of this woild.
