half devotional, half humorous character, was

Its least remarkable feature Is its sturdness tho
evident backbone which runs through II, and
which, as in "Wrastling Jacob, more than sug-
gests the physical way in which the people among
whom it has arisen "get religion" through bodi ly
travail. 70 instance any individual number fol
especial praise is hardly necessary, for leaving
out the "poor white trash, the sane general char
actcrstcs were observable in each, and the rendi-
ton was remarkably even. Pretty much every.

Sweet faded flower we would not ask thy stay
To droop and wither In world like this,
When purer spirits beckon thee away,

And thou dost utter now song Of love,
With kindred spirits in thy native skies,
There is a happier home in realms above,
The Christians promised home, his richest

Yet nature weeps All yes the spirit flown
Demands Il tear and shall it not he given,
We mourn 4 cherished friend and sister gone,
An angels spirit summoned back to heaven.

A home her humble trust had made secure
Though DER his purpose oft 4 vail is cast,
We know his blessed promises are sure.
Glowing Friends of all her earthly days,
We know too we'll of earth this is the last,
We look once more through s. rows binding

IORAIN. April |. 1S1

l. EDITOR ADVANCE: I see that you
invite correspondence, and [ wish to
say something about this country.
We have neil bere who are eyerlaSt-
ingly finding fault with the country,
and some OF them, I dare say, never
found Il country just right and fear
they never will. One man says this
country is not adapted to anything but
agriculture, and agriculture is Il fail
ure here. What causes the failure
say it is just such men us this one
that came here with the idea that all
they had to do was to take Il claim and
hire it broken up and soWn to wheat,
and they could sit around with their
good clothes Oh and get rich. That is
what is I. failure, and not farming.
Such men will learn, it they follow
farming, that to prevent it from being
Il failure they must put on plain clothes,
and 20 on their farms and superintend
the work and keep the weeds down,
and plant IL mixed crop and keep some
stock.
Another man is going to Oregon and
another to the Black Hills. They
have read some letter from there which
say a man can get rich there. They
forget that they came here on the
strength of the letters of the National
Colony, and now, say it is i'll false and
humbug. 1t will be the same when
they get there. Some men seem to
have a kind of itch. When they were
in the East they itched and scratched
on the stumps and stones, and it seemed
to be all irritation instead of i relief.
So they came here and now they itch
and cannot find any stumps and not
many stones to scratch themselves on,
so they are going where there are a
few trees and mountains of stone. and
now and then an Indian rifle ball.
They are sure cure for the itch. .s:zs: SIS
