Crops-We never saw as little iu our
exchanges about crops. as we see this seas
on. Wheat in this vicinity is now about
ready for the reaper. The farmers say but
little but when they say anything, ofco
they say that the crop will be very short,
hardly worth cutting. We are satisfied
that wheat will turn out as good as usual
where it was not cut down by the late frost.

II was announced the other day thai
some eleven car loads of immigrants, after
passing through West Virginia, crossed the

Democatic papers last Fall, with their de.

promises of how the Democracy would
change it all as soon as they came into
power, have been painfully disappointed,

we were promised that these gentlemen
would speedily set in motion agencies that

sufficiently large to salary a clerk aud buy

There is a painful want of information
about what this honorable board have done

further than that it would be proftless to

SAVED BY MASONRY.

There is story going the rounds Of
the press of young man who is travel
ing agent for a Chicago firm. Out in the
far West he was arrested, no explana-
ton given in answer to his demands, and
he was taken 90 miles into the interior,
where he was hailed as horsethief, and
immediate preparations were made for
lynching him, In vain he pleaded and
explained. The crowd recognized in him
notorious horsethief, and die he must.
He tried to pray, for he thought there
was no hope. But even while the moose
hung over his head, a blessed thought
struck him. Masonry would save him.
He was Royal Arch Mason, and in all
that crowd there must be Masons. He
gave the Grand Hailing Signal, and in
stantlya prominent citizen was at his
side. More Masonic Signals followed, and
the victim was surrounded by some thir-
ty determined men, who held the crowd
at bay with pistols. kilograms were
sent to Chicago, answers received, the
mob convinced that they had got hold of
the wrong man, and all "went merry as
marriage BELL THIS is said to be a

w ork a Necessity.

Emerson says that every mans task
is his life. preserver. True for what
does life amour to if it is not used for
some particular purpose if there be not
always some definite cad in view, some
thing for own good or those around US.
And this task is lifelong. 1t cannot be
laid aside safely. Suppose a man tolls
all through his youth and the prime Of
his manhood to amass a certain fortune
Success crowns his efforts he lays aside
his work and undertakes to lead an
easy life. Is it easy? Does he not
find it the hardest of work ? Does lie
not grow rusty? He has laid aside his
life preserver, his task, and can he be
happy? No; for work is a necessity
with the human being, and without it
life drags YEARLY away. No matter
what that work is, every one is better
for having something to do. Keep
the watch wound for the rust assaileth. "
Keep your soul ready for work # you
would keep it healthy, only do not go at
it complaining. Work with a brave
md undsunted will, and there will be no
blue days in your life; you will never
long and sigh for the night to come you
will never rise in the morning with
weight on your spirits, but each day
will be boon to you, and each night
sweet rest, such as the drone and the

would sail for that place in February.
The offer was accepted, and Miss Wal
lace sailed from this port in the steam

of February. At sea she was told by
her companions, two girls, that they
were to become inmates of a house, OF
prostitution on their arrival IN San Fran
ciscs. Miss Wallace at once Informed
the captain of the Rising Star of what
she had heard, and he, on questioning
the man who escorted them, found il
true. The deceived woman at once res
olutely accepted work on the ship, and
was thus enabled to return to New York

A NOBLE REsroNsE. following
from tic Fond du Lac Commonwealth,
recommend to scoffers generally:
"a dear friend asks what we think of
those members of the press who speak
harshly and sneeringly of our conversion.
Why, bless your honest soul, we think
as.much ofthem as ever, and can ask God to
trouble them with conviction, as He
troubled u.s. and gladden. them with con-
version as He gladdened US. ''All hail
reproach, etc. We will pray for them.
Never for moment think that the tiny
thrusts Of thoughtless men will shake our
faith in that one who is a friend to all
who believe in Him. Br. Watrous,

PAYMENT OF SMALL BILLs.-The fol
lowing from the New York Journal OF
Commerce is well adapted to every local
ity : There is far too much negligence,
everywhere, about the payment of small
amounts of money. 1t not unfrequetly
happens that men will have small ac-
count charged, when they have money
sufficient in their pockets to pay it, and
subject the creditor to the trouble Of sen
ding it for collection when he needs it,
taking the chance of learning the debtor
is away from his place Of BUSINESS or
from home, and perhaps subjecting him
to the imputation Of being in needless
hurry foI payment.
More attention to this point, and es-
peciaIly by those to whom the time of
payment is immaterial who can pay at
one time as well as at another, would be
a vast improvement upon the present
mode of many persons in doing business.
