This was great loss, for he was caus-
ing the practical working of the Home
to meet the wishes of the Association.
He is u worthy member of the Metho-
dist church. His successor, Mr.. IL.
Hubbard, is gentleman OF high stand
ing in the Baptist Church. Mr.. Nor
rison Is superintendent of the Home at
Cedar Falls, and man of unreproach-
able reputation, a faithful Deacon in
the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. l.. h.
Ely is matron in the Home at Daven-
port, and Is more than meeting the
high expectations of the Board i'm Sc
curing l!er for that position. She is n
member OF the Presbyterian Church.
DIR. Irwin is medical attendant at the
last named place. His qualifications,
afiability, Kindness, and attention emf
nently adapt him to this peculiar situa.
ton. He looks after the sanitary con-
dition of the grounds, and gives the
children that particular care which
never fails to satisfy the tenderness and
solicitude OF an allectionate parent
The same is true of DIR. Pierce at the
Home in Cedar Falls. His last report
is such as would inspire all the patrons
of the institution and mothers of the
children with the greatest confidence
1t Is Il fact worthy OF note that every of
ticer connected with the management
of the Home who has succeeded to the
satisfaction of the Trustees is entirely
convinced of its rracticability, aud that
it promises great good to these orphan
children and to the country.
1t plainly appears in this history that
the management of this work is liberal
and unbiased, church preferences or
partiality being unknown. The Christ
ian ministry in this State is great
power for good and the spirit shown in
this work, with few exceptions,
marks one of the brightest pages in its
history. People in every church and
party regard this cause with magnan-
unity of feeling and Iiberality of action.
1t Is patterned after the great principles
of UNION for the support of which the
recent great struggle was instituted and
has been maintained.

Get z Home and Keep 1t.

Aleading object with every young man
should he to secure for himself a perma-
nent home; and for its greater stability
it should consist partly of land, and up
to certain limit the more the better,
if paid for. The house should be as
comfortable and attractive AS one has
the means of making. 1t should be one
the heart can grow to, and will cling
around more and more firmly with
each passing year. The owner should
desire and purpose to keep possession
should grow up feeling that there is one
place fixed and stable for them amid all
changes.
Americans are altogether too rowing
in their habits. We build houses cheap
ly, and pull them down without regret; !;
or we sell out, and move away half II
dozen times in Il lifetime, and in vain
hope OF bettering our condition. How
much better To choose early in life, and
then lay plans with reference to abiding
there. Even though our gains be less
than are promised elsewhere, a certain
ty should seldom be given for an uncer-
tainty. "A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush"
Only those who have experienced 1t
know how firmly family become at
tacicu to tnelf long lONeu homestead.
No children love home SO well as those
who have known only one. AS the
young become of marriagcable age they
should go out of the homestead, feeling
that it is to he the model after which
their own should be established and
knowing that it will remain unchanged
as long us the parents live: u place to
which they can return, and where they
will bc welcome. A pleasing writer
confirms our doctrine thus:
"There is II great gain in being set
tied down. 1t Is twofold. Epch year
accumulates the material by which la
Dor is lessened. The rough channels of
labor become worn and smooth. A
change involves Il great loss, and rarely
is there corresponding gain. Time is
lost, labor suspended, money paid out,
the wear and tear of removal Is no
small item, and above all, the breaking
up of old associates Is often disastrous
in the extreme. Parents and children
become unsettled in their habits, If not
IN their morals. Let the man who has
q homestead keep it; let him that has
none get one, and labor to render it IL
treasured remembrance to the absent,
aud Il constant joy to those who abide
it, To all of which every intelligent,
thoughtful person must give a hearty
approval.

Prayer Meeting In an Editorial Sanctunl.

On Tuesday evening last, as the SEN
ior and Local Editors OF the Register
had given the last touches to the col
umns OF the daily edition for the next
morning, anu were discussing with four
or five friends the topics of public inter-
est generally found in these days iioat-
ing i'm the Office Of "A live journal, Nor
gan Edwards, the Evangelist, accom-
panied by clerical frieEd, paid as a
visit For several days past we had
heard OF the successful labOrs Of the &C.
centric preacher in this city, the crowd
ed houses which he had drawn, the ef-
tective sermons which he had preached
and the apparent good he had accom-
plished, but had not seen him until his
visitation in our sanctum. His person
al appearance is not that Of modern
divine. Physically he is short and
stout, has Il round full face, keen,
restless eye, liberal, careless beard,
and frank face. He wears his cap
jauntily on one side, turns up his pant
aloons legs at the bottom, and has the
bearing of Gell-conditioned, inde-
pendent, energetic man of the world, of
almost any secular caling. After O.
nervous, rapid conversation with each
man i'm the room on ordinary social
topics, for few moments. and few
kindly ecclesiastical admonitions to Il
State Senator present to legislate for
the Lord rs well as for the people of the
Thirty-ThirG District, Mr.. Edwards
asked the privilege Of praying then and
there!
The remainder of those present were
taken little aback by the request, but
reverently. He made no attempt to

was rot strange that the habitues of the
Exchange Block stopped and listened
to the tones Of invocation which they
heard. He made practical, sensible
prayer, little unusual, perhaps, in the
language of the supplication, designat-
ing men by name in behalf of whom he
asked divine interpostiJn. but his pc
tition as "a whole was a big improve
meDt on the stump speeches made TO
the Throne of Grace by too many pro-
fessional preachers of the gospel. -
When he bad concluded, he said, hur-
riedly, God bless you all and then,
with snap Of the thumb and finger,
and a wave OF his hand, he shot out at
the door and disappeared.
