Tama County Bible seelsty.
At a meeting OF tHe officers Of this
society, held on the 18th inst, after
consulting with several ministers in
attendance, it was decided that the
next Annual Meeting Of the society
be held in the evening Of the first
Sabbath in December, at the NJ. E.
Church, IL, Toledo, at which it was
desired and expected that all the
CHURCHES in the county would be rep
resented. It vas also decided to have
the Bible cause. presented at all the
different churches at their morning
services Of that day.
We trust a liberal response will be
made to the call Of this worthy Oh
ject, and a GENERAL attendance atNthe
Annual Meeting in the evening.
The Hamilton Freeman HAS found
a farmer Of the good kind:
"a wcll-to do farmer, living nine
miles north Of Montana, proposes to
give the right Of way through his
farm, vote and work for the five per
cent. tax, and give a thousand dol
lars in cash as his share toward the
building OF the railroad up the Boone
Valley His mel lib0rs, who, like
him, appreciate the advantages of a
competing line of railroad, propose to
como down, in, an equally liberal man.
ncr. Aud this is the way it will be
'all along the linc,' when the people
see it III its true light"
Where farmers have IN eye to bus
mess, as they do there, railroads arc
built and the fArmcrs, more than any
other class Of citizens, ieNp the benefits
Where the Farmers do as many Of
those of Toledo Township did,-votc

A Hard Story.

A Philadelphia paper says There is
IN a doctor in the northwestern part
Of this consolidated city who is especially
remarkable for being, as the women term
it, "short and crusty'
A week or two since, he was called to
visit a patient who was laboring under "a
severe attack of cheap whisky
"Well, doctor, I'm down you see
completely foored I've got the tremen-
dous delirium, you know"
"Tremens, you fool ! Where'd you
get your rum?'
"All over in spots; broke out promis-
cuously, doctor ="
"Served you right"
g Father died of the same disease it
took him under the short ribs and carried
him off bodily"
"Well, you've got to take something
Immediately"
You're a trump, Doc. Here, wife,
I'll take sip of old rye"
Lie still, you blockhead! Mrs. B.,
if your husband should get worse before
| return, which will be in an hour, give
him dose of that trunk strap maybe
that will bring him to a sense of his
folly"
The doctor sailed out grandly, and
within an hour sailed in again, and found
his friend of the tremendous delirium'
in a terrible condition, writhing and
struggling with pain. His wife, female
Of the kind but ignorant school, came up
and laying her hand on the doctors arm,
said:
doctor, gave him the strap, as you
directed"
"Did you thrash him well 2"
"Thrash him 2" exclaimed the aston
ished woman, emo | cut the strap into
hash and made him swallow it p
go, Lord, doctor" roared the victim,
" I swallowed the leather, but-but-"
"But what 2"
/ swallowed the whole strap, but I'm
darned if | could 60 the buckle !"
The doctor administered two bread
pills and evaporated.

The homeward voyage of the Winged
Rover was rapid one, but to Gilbert
Drew it seemed that ages passed before
he reached Rockport, He asked no one
of the village people whom he met for
news Of Phebe. He could not find voice
to, but he walked straight to the little
stone cottage and entered the parlor un-
hidden.
A dress of snowy silk and white bri-
dal veil lay on the sofa, and his lips grew
white with dread. But Phebe came into
the room. She started back when she
saw him, then held out her hands invol-
UNFAIRLY, with little glad cry,. drawing
them back the next instant and making
an effort to greet him quietly and coldly.
"Phebe, you have not worn those !"
he said, pointing to the sofa.
g No, | shall wear them tomorrow"
He saw the look of dread, almost Of
agony, that came over her face, and he
caught her in his arms.
"My darling, you shall never wear
them," he cried and then he told all his
story rapidly, breathlcssly. At first Phe-
be was only able to realize the fact Of
Joe's death. But joy mingled with her
grief when she understood the whole.
Mr.. Gerald Bayne, as he called himself,
needed no urging to induce him to leave
Rockport for parts unknown, after an in
terview which Gilbert had with him that
day. 1t was better so than to accuse him
openly for Phebe's sake, Gilbert thought
Gossi ps were busy enough with tho story
as it was.
Two months later the Indian muslin
dress that Phebe had laid carefully away
she thought forever, was brought out
again and when the Esperanza, Captain
Drew's new ship, sailed out of Rockport
harbor, happy little bride went in her.

What Makes the Wind Blow.

IF the question were asked, "Who
makes the wind blow I" all our young
friends would have ready answer; they
know that God controls all the forces Of
nature. But he uses means. The sun Is
His great wind-maker To understand
its action, think of the air as great
ocean like water, but much lighter, en-
tirely surrounding the globe. The sun
shines upon this ocean Of air, and through
it on the earth heating them both, and
imparting most heat at the earth's sur
face. But the suns rays shine more di-
rectly down on some parts than on others,
and therefore heat them more. Thus, it
is always hotter in the region of the equa-
tor than at the poles. Now heat expands
a fluid, making it lighter, and when part
of the air is expanded by heat it rises,
and the cooler, heavier surrounding air
rushes in to fill its place, aud thus wind
is produced. The following simple ex-
pertinent will show just how this works ::
Fill large tin pail with water, in
which scatter some fine bread crumbs
Place burning lamp under the middle
of the pail, and the crumbs will soon be-
gin to rise, carried by the heated column
of water, then making curve towards
the sides will sink downward, and pass in
horizontal direction along the earth's
Surface In room containing hot stove
drop into the air in different places bits
of light cotton, or dry thistle blossoms,
and you will see how the air is moving
to each point.

A Pneumatic Tube Four Hundred
Miles Long.

The following extract from a letter de-
scrbes the operation Of pneumatic tube
between Glasgow and London. Proba-
bly, few Of our readers are aware of the
existence of the process by which messa-
ges and packages are almost instantane-
ously transmitted between these two cit
les:
| had occasion to send telegram to
London the other day, and in few mir
utcs received reply which led me to
suppose that serious error had been
committed by my agents, involving many
thousand pounds. | Immediately went to
the telegraph Office and asked to see my
message. The clerk said, "Wc can't
show it to you, as we sent it to London"
But Ireplied, you must have my orig
inal paper here | wish to see that He
again said: No we have not got it it
is in the post office at London What
do you mean? 7? | asked; pray let me see
the paper left here half an hour ago
We'll, said he, if you must see it, we
will get it back in few minutes, but it is
now in London He rang a bell and in
five minutes or so produced my message,
rolled up in pasteboard.
"It seems that for some months there
has existed pneumatic telegraph betwixt
Glasgow and London and betwixt London
and the other principal cities of the king
dom, which consists Of an iron tube, into
which the messages are thrown and sent
to their destination. [ inquired if /
might get a message sent. %, yes, come
around here He. slipped a number of
messages into the pasteboard scroll, pop
ped it into the tube and made signal -
[ put my ear to the tube and heard
slight rumbling noise for seventeen Sec
onds, when a bell rang beside me, indica-
ting that the scroll had arrived at the
General Postoffice, four hundred miles
off 1t almost took my breath away to
think of it, IF l could only 90 to Bos-
ton with the same relative speed, you
might count on my passing an evening
every week at No. l2t Beacon street. and
returning home to sleep. Who knows
but we may be conveyed in this marvel
Gus manner before many years
Perhaps you are aware there has been
large tube between the general post.
Office in London and the station in Eus-
tice square in operation for number of
years. The mail bags for the north are
all sent by this conveyance, so that the
postoffice receives letters up to few min
utes before the train leaves, three miles
off. The transit takes less than two Sec
onds Surely this is an age of wonders"

[NIIE friendly smile oft disappears,
And leaves the heart to find
Solace from the doubts and fears,
Wrought by friends unkind
Too soon, too oft, we say, farewell
Which ends the greeting smile;
Too oft we part, and fail to tell
The hopes which most beguile.
Pursued by doubts, which end in fears.
The heart to gloom will yield,-
'Tis then, alas hope disappears,
'Tis then our fate seems sealed.
The rose nipp'd in the bud will fade,
Nor be q full-bloom flower;
A blighted friendship can't invade,
Nor cheer lonely hour.
We cannot in day forget
The joys and hopes now fled;
We harbor still, vain regret,
And grieve o'er pleasures fled.
When memory reviews the past,
Old thoughts we can't forget;
While the scenes we hoped would last
Will bring vain regret.

A Good Decision.

A miser, having lost hundred golden
eagles, scaled up in bag, promised ten
of the eagles as reward to any one who
should bring it to him. A poor man,
finding the bag brought it to the old gen
tleman and demanded the ten eagles but
the miser, to battle him, alleged there
were 10 eagles in the bag when lost
The poor man, however was advised to
sue for the money; and when the cause
came on to be tried, it appearing that the
seal had not been broken, nor the bag
ripped, the judge said to the defendants s
counsel, "The bag you lost had llO ca
giles in it, you say?" a" Yes, your honor" "
says he. "Then," replied the judge,
according to the evidence given in court,
this cannot be your money, for here are
only one hundred eagles therefore the
plaintiff must keep it till the true owner
appears"

G@~ A writer in contemporary men
tions the case of student of Trinity
College, tried before Lord Gullimore for a
petty theft. The defense was his sta:
ton in life, his prepossessing appearance
and. his family. The judge charged in
these words "Gentlemen of the jury,
this is short issue. The prisoner at
the bar is young gentleman of attractive
'Nanners, and irreproachable connections
who stole pair of silk stOckings-and
you will find accordingly"

has already the number of inmates which
many prophesicd would be its highest.
1t has now ono hundred and two boys.
The views Of the trustees have enlarged
with the growth Of the School; and now
We believe the State cannot safely stop
short Of permanent provision for about
two hundred. This opinion is founded
upon the experience and history Of the
school, and our knowledge of the needs of
the state, when this institution shall be-
come more fully understood. The dor.
mitories Of the school are already crowd
ed to their full capacity, and boys have
been refused for want of room.
They further say that it has come to
be understood that the only way to reform
the inmates of penal institution is to
furnish them with pleasant employment,
and to surround them with all the good
influences which religious institution,
christian example, intellectual and moral
training can supply. The inmates should
come in personal contact with those whose
discipline, min'strations and bearing in
The discharge Of their duties will impress
them with the fact that their good alone,
y intended, and that the restraint imposed
IL measured exactly by the necessity of
control and order Ever so good rules, if
administered in the spirit of unkindness
and hsrshness, keep alive defiant spirit
that destroys the first germ ofamendment.
The design of the school is to place around
the inmates good influence of moral
and intellectual training, and pleasant
employment, based on the Christian ideas
Of reform, and not punishment. Social
and political economy and the demand OF
our religion go hand in hand in this en-.
terprise.
