JuDGING OTHERs.-"Don't Judge
others by yourself" is common warn
ing; and yet the advice is generally nu-
gatory. Unconsciously every man
judges OF others rather as his own ma
ture suggests, than by the real charac-
ter of the man whom he judges. One
may see this i'll the theological cfeeds.
The cruel man estecms his Maker to
be as violent and vindictiye rs himself,
and would not believe him to be
God if he Were otherwise. The benev-
olent and mild tempered man, on the
contrary, sees in the Deity a mercifiri
and benignant Father The worship
cd Divinity of all nations represents to
. degree the peculiar traits and tempers
Of those nations.

W time The undersi gned are running a
daily line of Stages from the following named
points, to connect with the Lacrosse cars, to
wit: From Stevens Point to Portage City, by
way OF PloSer, Buena Vista, PlainteId, Han
cock, Caloma, Adams, Packwaukee, Oxford and
Briggsville. Also from Stevens Point, bv way
of flover, Grand Rapids, Saratoga, Preston,
Grand Marsh Dell Prairie, to Kilbourn Citv.-
Also, from Neceedah to kilb0urn Citv, by the
way of Germantown, Quincy, Cascade, or White
Greek and Dell Prairie
These lines of Stages, furnish to the inhabi-
tants OF the Pine Region. the means of getting
from Stevens Point or Grand Rapids to Milwau-
kee IN little less than one and a half DAYS and
besides the fare is lower than any other route.
and any one who wishes togo to Milwaukee can
on one of these lines be taken to kilbourn CITY
or Portage City, in one day, and the next morn
ing at half past five the cars will leave for Mil
waukee, and arrive there at half past eleven :;
and any one wishing to come into the Pine Re-
gion can rely upon always being able to get a
Stage at Portage City or Kilbourn, in the morn
ing, going North and North West. to any of the
points above mentioned. We have good Coach
es on all of these routes, an abundant supply of
good horses, and drivers that are sober and 'rss-
Ia, and who obey orders, and have their instruc-

General Stage Offices are kept at the follow
ing named places: Portage City, at the Lee
House; kilbourn, at the Kilbourn City House
Grand Rapids, at Bangs Hotel Plover, at the
American; Stevens Point, at Bancraft's
For the information of the travelling public
we will say, that at Stevens Point, an opportu-
nifty is afforded, either by Stage or Steamboat,
to go north to Trading Post, Knowlton Little
Bull Falls, Wausau, Eau Claire, Jenny Bull and
Marathon City. And from all by the same
means they come to Stevens Point and take this
stage line to any place they choose, north OF
Portage City; so it will seen that there is no
necessity for patronizing Foot & Walkers line
unless the traveller prefers that mode of loco
motion. MYERS i BONUM.

Heaven According to Spirituaism.

Mrs. Cora Hatch, the medium, at
recent Spiritual Reception in New
York, gave the following account of
Heaven and the amusement and en-
ployment Of angels.
''She defined the constitution of So
ciety in heaven, or spirit-land, and gave
Der hearers warning that their condi-
ton out Of the body depended altogeth-
sr upon their behavior In it.
"The spirit land or heaven, she pic
tured as series of worlds, wherein the
sympathies of minds find their precise
level; where the mind that gravitates
toward gross matieralisn on earth finds
itself associated spiritually with minds
of the same bent; where the artist finds
religion Of beauty, such as he pictures
to himself here; where Mozart, Beeth-
oven, Handel and Haydn, and all crea-
tors of harmony, find their own class Of
associates, all musical and harmonious,
and where the classes Of intellect find
their congenial spirit, with whom they
associate eternaly. Moreover, the
spirits walk the earth. The drunkard,
whose idea Of plearure is the orgle of
the Five Points, is quite as degrading
hereafter as here. His spirit accord
ing to Mrs. Hatch, is a worm crawling
about the city's paving stones-the low
est stage of spiritual life, as he was the
worst type of physical degradation
Heaven has beauties that are only Wis
ible to the more refined intelligences.-
1t has scenery, rivers full Of precious
stones, golden skies, things to warm the
soul Of the poet, and to give the artist
perpetual feast. SO all good men.
who follow truth, justice, and love, find
boundless sources of enjoyment. Yet
the means Of reaching these highest
and happiest localities, where the poet,
the artist, and all good men go, lie
within the reach of every individual
We who are in the body have the pow
er to fix our degree ofapproach TO this
sapernal bliss, by living holly and
Faithfully, as long as the corporal
body holds together.
t'Mrs. Hatch wound up with q sol
smn exhortation to live with 4 view to
future elevation. She then paused,
and, after a moment or two, requested
to know il hef exposition had been sat
istactory? There were some disboliev-
erS in the seats who were not satisfied.
One old gentleman desired to know ii
amuscments existed in the spirit-land ?
Mrs. Hatch replied that she had tried
to answer these QuestionS-she could
say no more than she had uttered. The
amusements Of the next world consists
Of the pleasures each mind finds to Its
taste here. Somebody had suggested
to her that Young America might pine
for fast horses. The amusements Z"
such would be few east young men
wonld find in the spirit-world that thei,
fast practices, III the flesh would come
up before them altogether too fast to be
thoroughly enjoyable. They would be
ready to find their amusement in every
thing else but fast life. In short, this
class ofpersons were incontinently con
signed to place, the view Of which
might be reminder Of the conven-
tional Heads. Pure intelligences, how.
ever would find abundant amusement. >
