views Of tho puritauB In flvo difforont points.

to do tlo work Of God; thor duty to God camo
before all ese this WAS tho leading idea OF Puri-
tanism. They beloved, as Carlyle saia..of thcm,
that Justice ruled tho world.
Sccond-Tho Puritan not only desired to 40
tho will Of God, but believed that tho simple
teachings of the Biblo encompasEod all his du-
tics !; tic Bible WAS lis guide ho clung to TINT
book. az he understood it,swith n spiritual pas
sion, and beloved that in it God spoke Indirect

simplicity in forms Of worship mud living.
Fou,'A-Pnritanis7l contained in it the germ
Of liberty It preserved tho spark OF liberty tn
England. Tho Turitans approached political
affairs In n religious sonso, and thereby fell into

HARyEsT.-Some of our farmers have
commenced to cut their wheat crop, and by
the first of next week all will be engaged in
moving the golden grain. The crop has
been injured to some extent by the fly and
other Vermin, Notwithstanding which, and
the fact that the acreage this season is not as
large as in past years, it is believed that the
wheat yield will be greater than it has been

themselves to certain principles, it is doubt

COMPROMISES pIAS-The Civ Commit

A COMPROMISE PLAN.-The City Commit.
tee is divided into two parties. A majority
seem to favor the proposed plan for holding
primary elections. A minority, the presi
dent being amongst them, favor the plan Of
holding primary elections which is il
vogue in other cities, and denounce the
plan proposed here as unheard-of and
unjust. Now, it is plain that both
sides can't be right, and that both do moi
the people. We propose, there.
fore, that the present City Committee resign,
and primary election be held next week or
the week after FOR new City Committee.
