A young friend of ours who received
a bid to attend corn husking not an
hundred miles from the road bed Of the
Richmond Il Ft. Wayne R. r. COM
plains bitterly of the affair as a swindle,
he says: All the young folks were
kindly invited out to a huge pile Of
'nubbins,' where they made thems selves
useful until the last one was done.

where they supplied the inner man
with some nourishment. After supper,
the youngsters were sitting around en-
joying q glorious prospect Of what was
to come the old man came around and
politely told them the bill was twenty
five cents for their supper. This paid,
the folks went their way, and now
all that ! ask is, that the next time said
man makes corn husking. he will not

Our Street Crossings.

The prOncness of human nature in
times of excitement and Indignation TO
become recklessly profane, was never
more strikingly exhibited than on last
Sunday. Gaily dressed and daintily
booted ladies, tempted by the bright
sunshine and relying on the flattering
reports Of the recent improvements, sal
lied forth to church, accompanied by
'.sonber hued.' "box toed. -. stiff neck
Ell escorts. The first OF these groups.
We happened 10 notice, was halted at
the corner of Fifth and Main streets.
Where was the elegant $500 crossing
which adorned that much be putfed
point OF the Cumberland Roid2 The
d;smay and disgust depicted on the face
Of the lady was reflected in that of
the gentleman. as with u mutter-
ed oath he inserted his ornainented ex-
tremities in the sea Of liquid mud that
Who your halter 20 the Golden Ea-
gle Let it be recorded to that lady's
credit that she only cast at him a glance
OF gratitude fol- SO forcibly expressing
her opinion. The scene was repeated
several times during the day. The Con.
script Fathers Of our city. may well
consider the question as to who il re-
sponsible for these repeated violations of
the third commandment
A feeling somewhat akin to disap-
pointment IS experienced by our citi-
zens, in beholding the condition of the
Main street crossings since the bad fall
weather has set in. Our pet enterprise
which was to he to our city such prize
as well IS convenience, has sadly fallen
short of its promises. There Is scarce
ly crossing in town where the cut
stone path has not sunk or been laid
too low and during wet weather, what
were to have been raised and dry walks,
are long pools of muddy water, compel
ling the passers to wade shoe top deep
OF stumble their way over the sur
rounding cobble stones. When freezing
weather comes, danger will mos: likely
be added to inconvenience.
We see no remedy, but to follow the
example of the old lady whose new ia
BILE cloth was the precursor Of whole
house full of new furniture-so our city
having put down these expensive cross
ings, must now procure the additional
luxury of gang Of men to do double
the amount Of cleaning that would have
been necessary had the work been
properly done. Now, we don't want
anybody to get mad and say that we
have denounced improvements and call
ed names. We arn't going to do any
such thing, and only wish to say that
the bad weather is unfortunate for the
crossings-thats oil.

Society is at present enjoying it's
periodical transition state. The pic
MICS, croquet, and fishing parties Of the
summer are over, and the fair are rest
ing on their laurels before comm encing
the winter campaign. Wounded hearts
are now being bandaged, and broken
ones cemented. Gorgeous costumes are
in the hands of the dress makers, mob
by suits engage the attention OF the
tailors, rouge, powder, pomade, canes,
fancy ties and ribbons are at high pre-
miums; Cupid, that mischievous little
urchin, is sharpening his arrows for the
approaching conflict.
The social skies are serene and unob-
scured. No brilliant lights have as yet
appeared upon the armament. Yet just
below the horizon how many old stars
are polishing their sadly dimmed
lustre. How many new ones are pre-
pairing to fit meteor like ac:oss the
heavens and disappear forever; how ma
ny will only rise above the hori-
ION to sink again into nothingness; alas,
how many are distined to set forward
in the sea of matrimony.
We are as yet in the twilight, but the
social world is preparing for a grand
illumination this week, when greater and
lesser lights, planets, fixed stars and
meteors are to dance together in honor
of the first hop of the season. Terp
sichore and Cupid will jointly preside
during the ewing. and with one tugging
at the feet, the other at the hearts, what
can prevent the occasion from being
gay and joyous one!
The belle Of last winter will b, there,
ooking more lovely than ever; the
good Walter will be there and the fiashy
neck-tie has promised to bring it's IN
exceptionable possessor. The young
man who has almost abjured society
since the departure Of Prof Mott, is in
ecstacy over the prospect Of waltz
quadiilie. That other young man who
makes so many calls as to seem almost
NIB ;quitous, looks forward to a schot-
tiche and all are in rapturous anticipa
! tion Of those delightful Partisan Vari-
ties" At the thought, there springs up
even before our mental eye. visions Of
bright eyes and glowing cheeks, CHG
mons, water fails, bronze boots, kid GAL
tiers, music now swelling into tae noisy
merriment of the jig and now subsiding
into the soft voluptuousness CT the
waltz, lovely faces, merry hearts and
handsome toilets during the evening
and head aches, dowdy wrappers. and
slippers next morning, but the vision
fades and we wake to the practicability
| of editorial existence.

It will be seen that our town is i'm
proving rapidly-much more rapidly
than towns which make great preten-
tions to wealth and advantage over us in
position. And all this in a season which
is considered extremely dull-depress-
ing. What may we expect when bust
ness opens up lively, when our Street
Railway to Centreville is built, and the
& FIT w r r is in running order, and
the producing country by which we are
surrounded, has easy access to Rich
mond. its acknowledged market7 The
question is easily answered-our town
will continue to increase in wealth and
size, until it has assumed the position
and Importance which will rank it
among the first western towns.

What can be more inspiring, elevating
or refining, than the sweet melody and
the perfect harmony Of trained voices
singing hearth felt songs OF praise to the
Creator, for his many and bounteous
mercies. IT'S grand idea that those
whom God has blessed the most fully
with the gifts of hesrt and voice, should
lead those less endowed, in praising
| Him. Such is the ideal church choir
an agent for good only less powerful
shan the Preacher himself. The noble
tones of the Organ, blending with and
sustaining the voices of the singers; lift
ing the souls not only Of those who sing
but of those who listen: touching the
emotions; leading all in ono sweet unison
Of feeling, one perfect chord.
Such were our reflections as we sat,
the other Sunday morning. in one OF our
churches, awaiting the opening OF the
services. But how far from this beau
tiful ideal is the reality. Years ago.
when descending the Hudson one OF the
palatial steamers that ply between Al
bany and New York, we were eestatlcaily
admiring the glorious scenery along that
river, or joy was turned to mourning,
whilst our ears " ere racked with the ter
rife screams Of the "Calliope." We
then vowed that we would never, never
knowingly put ourselves in the way OF
hearing it again. But alas for human
purposes and expectations. 8 Man
knoweth not whittier he goeth.' So we
went to church.
Scene LIST opened with a bang and q
; roar, succeeded by series Of discord'
mt yelis and shrieks. At the first Of
which we, as we'll as the whole audience,
sprang frantically to our feet and gasped
with fright, under the impression that
the steeple had fallen, cat was in the
organ, or some fellow had kissed girl
by mistake,-the predo minant sound es
pecially resembling that emitted in the
latter case. Over all waved and goaned
the horrible old asthmatic organ. A look
at the now patient, silent. much endur-
ing audience convinced us that it was sill
right, and to some extent quieted our
nerves, SO that we recognized amid the
piercing screams of the Soprano. the
shrill piping Of the Tenor, and the gut
teral growing Of the Base, the opening
strains Of the Opera Bouffe, followed by
lugubrious and dismal chorus, fit for
the ears Of a castigated people. Such
was the feast. Why is it, the grad old
| Chorals are heard no more in our Curch- ,
es, but stale rehash Of the flimsiest OF
modern Dance and O, era music too Of
| ten greets the audience. Why is it I
! We appeal from choirs to the warm
| hearted Christians found in all of our
/ Churches, give US back the sweet melo
dies, which moved us SO strongly IN
the days of our youth--tae natural mel
odies which the whole congregation
sang with deep-felt power, instead oil

ing now so prevalent.
