TWO THORNS.

There are many people who seek to evade
the force of truth by pretending to be offend
ed at the manner, place or time in which it
! is presented. They willingly admit taat the
use of intoxicating liquor is not conducive to
health, but if it is suggested that opinions
should be crystallized, and a practical effort
made to check the rum power, then they are
sure to kick out of the harness, and ge
through the community, bowling about ''En-
thuslasn." Severity" 'Imprudence, and
the like. If 1t Is proposed to do something to
reclaim the unfortunate, to protect the or
phan. feed the hungry, cloths the naked,
bind up the broken-hearted, or bring about
social order and domestic peace, these local
thorns shoot OF on eide-tHacS, aud get to
dealing in technicalities as to how the work
should be done,-but they never do any
thing. They are exceedingly solicitous on
all social problems, but the out-growth of
their solicitude is marvellously diminutive.
There are some professional religionlsts
whose chief characteristic is an earnest
desire to see the cause of the Master prosper
ing, but If 1t is suggested that something be
done In the cause Of humanity, for some In
scrutable reason they are sure TO betake
themselves to dreamland and there discourse
on the degeneracy of meE and the danger
that threatens the church. Thus, for in
stance, when the great social evil of intem-
perance is introduced for consideration in Q
church edi6ce, on Sunday, their spirits are
troubled, the waters of afflction seem al
most to overWhelm them, and they run off
into an appeal for the Holy Sabbath and the
Sanctuary. AS if q line could be drawn be-
tween temperance and christianity. They
are wont to talk about love to man, but
seem to think that this will grew out of love
to God. Does net love to God rather grow
cut Of love for man? Aud will not the
heart, really imbued with love for the Good,
stay right here among common folks and at
tend to the common affairs Of life? The
soul gets weary of these people with Sc much
church, SO much of interest in the cause of
religion, but with no humanity, no sympa-
by people against whose ribs you may
rub the cover of a Bible, and they are made
Ihappy,-but bring against them human
heart, beating for others woes, and they are
stupefed.
These two thorns!

MRS. LEVANTIA D. DIMICK.

We have just received the painful intcli-
gence of the death of Mrs L. D. Dimick who
removed from Kenosha some three years !ago
in order to reside with her children in Penn
sylvania. 1t seems bat few days since she
was with US in health and happiness. few
of the older inhabitants of Kenosha and many
who came here at later period will remem-
Der her. Her last residence hare was on
Kenoshs Street and on the same premises
now occupied by Capt. Bissel.
Mrs. Dimick was the daughter of Abner and
Eunice Barlow, o sister of the Rev. Abner
Barlow and of Mrs. Daniel Stevens. They all
came and settled in Pleasant Prairie as early
as 1885, She is the mother of George II.
Dimick-a young man of great promise who
has already been most successful operator in
the oil wells of Pennsylvania and now extern
sively engaged IN that business at Petrolia
City in that state.
Mrs. Olmick was woman OF great energy
and perseverance. Although dependent upon
her own resources for means. she yet brought
up her family and gave them @ good educe-
tion. Many q mother can take lesson from
this life struggle of hers to keep her family
together and bring them up to honor and USE
fulness. She could truthfully say:''l live and
die for those love-"
1t is a great consolation for her distant
friends and relatives to know that although
comparatively among strangers, except her
children, she received from them every care
and attention that maternal love and fila
affection could suggest.
