The gong in the prison yard rang out sharply
about five minutes after the departure Of his wife,
and Keeper Orr admitted Rev. Mr.. Walker, Of
Calvary church, q TALL slender gentleman OF sallow
complexion.
THE CLERGYMAN FASTENED
to the corridor, and his coming was timely In the
extreme, for under the consolation of his counsels
and conversation Foster gradually Gained his over
wrought feelings. The reverend gentleman re-
NAMED nearly an hour with the culprit and then
sped away to exercise the same kindly Christian
once for the wife In her desolate home.
CTS there anything can do for you-anything
you would like ?" asked Seebacher.
"Nsthing, thank you; feel more comfortable
now" responded Foster, and he lapsed back In his
chair.
For an hour scarcely q word was spoken; Foster
was buried beneath an avalanche OF meditation.
An occasional cough q change OF his position in
the chair. and nothing more. Now he looked fix.
edly at the discolored walls and at intervals his
eyes were arrested by the Scripture text over the
cell door facing his own,
''THE LORD REIGNETH."
The deputies sat down on the chairs near him,
but he evinced little or no desire to converse.
Once or twice he opened conversation In reference
to commonplace matters, but never once did he
allude to his own position or to his family. All
that was in the past-he was peering through the
night into the eternal day. He stepped into his
cell now and then, only to return to the seat by
the stove after few minutes absence, and his
silence was 80 sombre that the hours passed
monotonousy with his watchers.
Warden Johnston visited him towards midnight
and shook hands with him and asked him lew
commonplace questions.
'About what time do you 60 to bed Fosterf' in
quired the Warden.
''well about ten or eleven O'Clock generally
when get sleepy" replied Foster; .but I'm not
sleepy tonight" and he turned somewhat un
easily In his chair, as though sleep might never
come.
In this way the night wore on, and still the dark
rain clouds lowered overhead and

the propriety of ignoring all slate nom

putting in nomination such men for
the respective positions as would be

yocates the nomination by the conven-
ton of Hon. j. S. Curtis for Sec'y.
of 1.-.e. 1t occurs to us that Mr..
Curtis is just such man as would be
acceptable to the people, and for this

more gaace or greater dignity. Mr..

Sunday, on exchange with Pastor
Lathrop. We hope he enjoyed him
self as we'll as the parson aforesaid.
1t was our first visit to Grand Rapids,
and we were agreeably surprised to
find so pleasant and wide-awake town
as it is. The people there appear to
be patriotic and full of stir, as mani
tested in their effective ministers,
churches, schools and business houses.
The Cong church, under the success
full leadership Of Pastor Webster is
doing good work. Their enterprise is
shown in the repairs now being made
on their church building, viii ch is be-
ing raised some four feet, and is to
have basement containing a lecture
room, church parlor and kitchen. Be-
sides this improvement, they are build
ing fine roomy parsonage, already
approaching completion. These i'm
provements will cost probably not less
than $4,000 when finished, and show
what vigor and push there is in Con-
gregationalists when they make up
their minds to go ahead. A fine new
Catholic church also is nearly completed
at Grand Rapids, the finest and largest
in this part of the state. The town
has been visited by severel destructive
fires, but the plucky people are rebuild
ing fast The Rablin House, kept by
Mr.. II. B. Freeman, formerly Of New

to the town. Altogether, the whole
