East Of the Illinois line, a. 10 town OF Koni
land, county seat not ten years old, wil
about 1000 inhabitants. On our minutes, th
little church is marked with II members bu
it has grown some since last May. 1 went OF
last week to help their minister, Rev. 1Ir
Smith, dedicate tasteful, well-built meeting
house, largo enough to seat 300 hearers. ",
did not think it well to dedicate Q church {,
the Lord, that might in few days be in th.
hands Of the Sheriff, SO after the sermon, We
gave the people an opportunity TO remove that
debt, Of about $4O0, and when we added uI
tho subscription, We found we had near $50,
subscribed, enough TO pay the debt and Pu1-
chase bell. Then the Methodist brother, who
had come in with his people, te spend tie day
with 'is, offered the dedicatory prayer. We
then received a valuable accession OF eigh.
members, and sat down to the table Of the
Lord together.
Ar. Kent, for whom the town was named,
gave the lot and essential aid besides. Others,
not members OF the church, helped, and The
minister made noat little pulpit, with bis
own hands, and was the main agent to collect
the funds, and in general superintend tie
work. Instead ofbeing vexod for'being pusEed
80 hard, they had Il pleasant social athi5 house,
two evenings before, and left in cash ana q, l.
or things, in value more than zoo dollars.
They have an excellent choir, and at least one
whom can play well upon an instrument :"
and need this one thing to help their worship.
1 have seldom assisted in dedicating meeting
house in a rev field, where everything passed
of 50 pleasantly, or where there seemed to to
better promise that the Lord has still good
things in store for them.

"a Coupie of Young Ladies', desire the
publication Of the following, and Of course
must be obliged. They have doubtless been
troubled considerably in the way referred to,
and are anxious fer the beaux to "know their
minds" Let all sallants read carefully, pom
der thoughtfully, and be governed accordingly.
A lady who signs herself @Alartyr to Late
Hours" offers the following sensible suggcs-
tions to young men:
"Dsar gentleman, between ages OF eigtllteez /
& forty-fve, listen to few words Of gratuitous
When you make a social call OF az
evening, on young lady, go away at g req
sonable hour. Say yon come at eight O'Clock,
an hour and a half is certainly as long as the
most fascinating ofyou can, or rather ought
20 desire to use his charms. Two hours, ill-
deed, can be very pleasantly spent with music,
chess, or other games, TO lend variety; but.
kind sirs, by no means stay longer. Make
shorter calls, and como oftener. a girl that
IS, a sensible, true hearted girI-win enjoy it
better, and really value your acquaintance
more. Just conceive the agony of a girl Who,
vol knowing the feelings of father and mother
on the subject, hears the clock strike ten, yet
must sit on the edge oi her chair, in mortal ter
ror lest papa should put his oft repeated threat
in execution-that Of coming down and inyit-
ing the gentleman TO breakfast. And we girls
understand it all by experience, and know
what it is to dread Che prognostic Of displeas-
ure. In such cases a sigh of relief generally
the closing of the door behind the
yallent, and one don't get over the feeling Of
trouble until safe in the arms OF Morpheus.
Even then sometimes tee dreams are troubled
with some phantom of an angry father and

cause a youngman viii make = longer call than
he ought to. 1
Now, young gentleman friends, III ,oli you
what we girls win do. For an hour and

fascinating; then, beware; monosyllaIle resp

when the limits shall have been passed, a
startling query shall be heard coming down

iider it a righteous punishment, and taxing
your hat meekly depart sadder, end it IS

put the next time you come be careful to keen
within bounds. We want to rise carly these
pleasant mornings and improve the shining
hours; but when forced to be up at such un-
ieasonable hours Of night, exhausted nature
