Digestion and Paradise.

Ali! talk of blessings What n
blessing Is digestion! To digest! Do
you know what IL means? 1t is to
have the sun always shining and the
shade always ready for you. 1t is to
kisses. Ii Is to hear sweet sounds
and to sleep with sweet dreams, To
be touched ever by gentle, soft, cool
hands. IL Is TO be In Paradise. Ad-
am and Eve were in Paradise. Why?
Their digestion was good. All! then
they took liberties, ate bad fruit
things they could not digest. They
what we call ruined their constitu-
tions, destroyed their gastric juices,
and then they were expelled from
Paradise by an angel with flaming
sword. The angels with flaming
sword. which turned two ways was
indigestion. There came great in
digestion upon the earth because
the cooks were bad, and they called
Ii deluge. All! thank God, there
II to be no more deluges-all tho
evil comes from this. Macbeth
could not sleep. Ii was the supper
not the murder. His wife talked
and walked. IL was the supper
again. Milton had "a bad digestion
because he was always so cross, and
your Carlyle must have the worst
| digestion In the world, because he
never says any good OF anything
All. to digest IL to be happy. Be-

How TO Fill ChUrch.

Sometimes, as President of Col.
Iege, have letters sent to me ask
ing for minister in something like
these terms: "Deirr Slr-0ur chapel
is very empty; our last minister WAS
a very excellent man but an unEop-
ular preacher, Il may say by way of
pare nthesis that | suppose he was OF
those men who would make good
msrtyrs--so dry that they would
burn well J and our congregation il
very small can you kindly send us
a minister who will fill the chapel ?"
On one occasion / replied that l had
not minister large enough to fill a
chapel. OF course there came an ex-
plaDation that they did not expect
him to fill il corporealIv, but to fiji
il by bringing others to listen to him,
and retaining them as seat t-holders.
then / wrote, and TO gain this oppor-
tunity my first joke was perpetrated,
reminding the friends that il was
quite enough for u pastor To fill the
pulpit well, and that the filling of
tie pews depended upon the zeal,
the esrnestness and the diligence Of
those with whom he commenced his
ministry; If they would suppnrt
him by their own hearty co-opera-
tion the meeting -hoase would soon
ba full. / remember when | came
first to London, preaching to eighty
or ninety in n large chapel, but my
little congregation thought well of
me, and induced others to come and
iii the place. / always impute my
early success to my warm hearted
people, for they were so earnest and
enthusiastic in their loving appreci-
alton Of 1.-The young man from the
country that they were never tired
of sounding his praises. LIZ you, any
of you are mourning over empty
pews i'm your place of worship,
would advise you to praise up your
minister. There can be no difficulty
| in discovering some points in which
your pastor excels; dwell upon these
excellencies and not upon his fail
which you derive from his sermons,
and thus YOU will induce the people
to come and listen to him, and at the
same time you will do him good, for
the full house will warm him up
and make him better preacher, aud
you yourself will enjoy him the
more because you have thought and
spoken kindly of him. Believe then
that the filling up of the church is
not alone the PASTORS work. Re-
member the word "universality, -
aud let no one try to find loop.
hole to escape his duty. All Christ.
ians ought TO he doing something foi
Jesus, and to be always doing some.

THE Des Moines Register of the
10th, says: AT Newton, on Satur-
day, q hive full Of bees was received
to be sent to some point West, and,
as the train came along was, with
other parcels, put aboard the express
car, in charge of Mr.. Millen, the
messenger. As soon as the train
left the station, the motion OF the car
being novel to the bees, this having
been their first trap on railroad, u
few of the 'boses' were sent out of
the hive to inquire of the messenger
why this was thus and, as he says,
annoyed him exceedingly by their
pertinacity in going Tor b.m' pretty
lively, as his answers did not seem to
give them satisfaction. Now, IL an
express company contracts to take a
parcel to a given point, 1t is no doubt
right that II should do SO at all haz-
ards. But although 'beesness' is
'beesness' the messenger was of the
opinion that bees-nests were also
bees nests, and, If the bees were to
be taken as passengers i'm his car they
should themselves conform TO the
usual rules, which they not seeming
inclined to do, he decided to put
them off the train at Altoona. In
carrying ont his intention, he was
attacked by several of the malcon.
tents, and had to drop the hive on
the platform at the station. This
broke it open, and in moment the
released inmates rushed into the pas,

ployed the shining moments in max.

CEDAR FALLS, NOVEMBER. 25, 1870.
State Reform School.

The officers of the Iowa State Re-
form School have issued the follow
ing circular:
To the Judicial ofncers Of the State OF Iowa -
We, the Trustees OF the iowa State
Reform School, in annual session as.
sembled, find upon examination that
there have beer admitted into the
school since its opening one hundred
and one Juveniles. OF these about
twenty have been discharged, hav.
ing given evidence of proper reform
alton, and having personal knowl-
edge of many Of those thus dis
charged, We are happy to say they
are, 10y their honorable course aud
manly conduct, rejecting credit up
on the institution and demonstrating
the wisdom of its founders. But We
find also that the number now in the
institution, which Is seveRty-two,
fills our building to the utmost ca.
pacity. We had earnestly hoped
that the Legislature at its last session
would make an appropriation sufti-
cient to allow us to have enlarged
our institution to meet the increased
demand; but in this We were sadly
disappointed; the appropriation
made being barely sufficient, by the
most rigid economy, to feed, clothe,
and educate those that are already
here.
Besides the state has made no pro.
visions for the employment of the
inmates by the way of shops, tools,
etc, and thus one of the main oh.
jects of the institution Is defeated.
Should any more persons be sent to
the school it would be converted into
little less than a common prison.
In fact we deem it utterly impossible
to accommodate them.
We are therefore compelled to give
notice that, owing to the facts above
stated, We cannot receive any more
persons until further provisions can
be made for their accommodation, of
which you will be duly notified here
after.

been postponed from time to time, until
now, when 1t has been considered appropriate
that the League should in some way commence
rate the glorious successes to which il has mate
rally contributed since its organization.
Twice since the occupancy of the present
building have receptions taken place, but they
have been given in honor of distinguished
leaders of the Union army-Generals Grant aud
Sheridan and then they took place through
the day. similar festvty was prepared for
General Sherman, but it did not transpire,
owing to the inability of that soldier to re-
main in the city the required length of time.
Great preparations for the event tonight have
been under way for some weeks and, should
the weather be propitious, it will be perfect
success in every sense of the word. Workmen
have been engaged in constructing in the rear
Of the building q substantial platform 100 feet
by 80, which is to be devoted to dancing. Over
this has been erected a mammoth wall tent,
which will serve as protection from the pro-
missing inclement weather. Gas pipe has been
run through the centre of the tent, and attached
to it are an almost innumerable number of gas
jets which will throw flood of light not
equalled on any previous occasion in this city.
The sides of the improvised ballroom will be
handsomely decorated with rare plants and flow
ers, and the national bunting will grace various
points All the apartments in the house
have been put in order for this event, and most
of the furniture has been packed away, SO as to
devote every available space to the accommoda-
tion of the immense throng which will be in
attendance. The various nurseries around the
city will contribute the finest of exotics towards
identifying these rooms and the passage way
leading from the front entrance to the dancing
floor. Although the display of these articles
will no doubt exceed anything of the kind ever
made in Philadelphia, yet the storm of Sunday
has materially interfered with this portion of
the programme. Evergreens have been hung in
festoons over the doorways and the many paint
ings are adorned with it in elaborate style.l
The pavement and the steps in front of the
building on Broad street have been rooted in,
so that the dresses of the ladies will not sustain
any soil in case of rain; in fact every provision
has been made to insure the comfort of those
participating.
The League now numbers a membership of
about nineteen hundred, and it is estimated that
twenty-five hundred will partake of the hospi-
talities of the association which has rendered
such inestimable services towards the preserva-
tion of the Union.
