romance are familiar with heroines who
are like them all, and can find among
their friends the same characteristics.
How peoples dispositions show forth
IN their favorite flowers! Some care
only for roses, seeing no beauty, smell
ing no perfume in anything else Such
people are apt to be singularly pure in
life and actions, tender in all loves and
friendships, but exclusive in every
thing. Hosts Of people prefer pansies,
and are justly indignant with the
writer who said that they always re-
minded him Of faces. Love in-idle-
ness, heart-case, thoughts.-certainly
there never was flower with so many
pet names. People of liberal tastes
have, of course, their favorites. but
like nearly all flowers. There certain
ly is nothing which contributes more
to the beauty of home than flowers,
and nothing so full of pretty fancies
Speak full we'll in language quaint and oIden.
One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine

GRAND RAPIDS, WIS, THURSDAY, MAY 27 1873

Church in America, If it's clergy
and members, In fair field, can gain
an ascendency over Protestant sects,
by better preaching, greater industry,
holier zeal, more wisdom, and perse-
verance, it is their right and duty to
do so. They who live the best lives,
and do the best work, have right to
possess the land. Meanwhile, should
another cardinal or two be needed, we
shall not be alarmed or troubled. 1t
is not for the Pope TO consult a poor
Protestant minister, but we suggest our
former schooImate, the Archbishop of
Baltimore, as one well-built for the
robe and hat, and acceptable to liberal
Protestsnts. We used to roll him over
on the football green, and should not
fear Christian hug with him on the
fairer field of Christian enterprise.
May the blessing of God rest on all
who love our Lord Jesus Christ IN sim
cerity and truth.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-05-27

sition-it is life. Their teachers and
preachers are of the people-not re-
moved from them by the elevation of
learning, not bringing instruction to
them from the students closet, but lust
from among themselves, with a mes
sage that finds at once response in
their own hearts. 1t is not strange
that a church, rigid in It's organization.
sometimes called despotic in its Govern
ment, yet everywhere touching the
sympathies and hearts of men, should
have growth and strength far exceed
ing that of other religious denomina-
tions and it is not, perhaps, too much
to say that as a church organization, it
IS now the most efectual barrier in this
country against the advance of the
Church of Rome, and yet, unless it be
Quakers, there is scarcely any religious
sect more unlike the Catholics, either
in the simplicity of its form of worship,
or in its freedom from the despotism
of dogma
Notwithstanding the progress of science
which, to some, seem now to threaten
the foundation of our religious faith, a
church like the Methodist is not likely
soon to lose it's force in this country.
1t is said of the Great Master that
common people heard Him gladly !"
and the disciples of John Wesley have
proved, since the preaching of the first
Methodist was heard "among the bleak
moors of Northumberland, in the dens
of London, and in the long galleries
where the Cornish miner hears, Iii the
pauses of his labor, the sobbing of the
sea-" that their gospel is one to which
the ears and the hearts of the common
people are always open. Such church
cannot but be an immense power in the
future of this country
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-05-27
Purity of Character.

cover the outer coat Of plum and
apricot, there grows a bloom more
beautiful than the fruit itself--a soft.
delicate powder that overspreads It's rich
colors. Now if you strike your hand over
that, and it is once gone, it is gone for
ever-it only appears once. The flow
er that hangs in the morning impearled
with dew--arrayed with jewels--once
shake it so that the heads roll off, and
and you may sprinkle water over it as
long as you please, yet it can never be
made again what it was when the dew
fell gently ON it from heaven.
On frosty morning you may see
the panes of glass covered with land
scapes, mountains, lakes and trees,
blended into beautiful fantastic pict-
ure. Now lay your hand upon the
glass, and by the warmth of the palm,
all the delicate tracery will be obliter-
ated
So there is in youth beauty and
purity of chara cter, which, when once
touched and defiled. can never be re-
stored-a fringe more delicate than
frost work, which, when torn and brok-
en-, will never be repaired. When a
young lad or girl leaves the parent S
house, with the blessings of mother S
tears still wet upon the cheek, if early
purity Of character be once lost, it is a
loss that can never be made up again
Such is the consequence of crime"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-05-27
Translated from the German.

We take the following tender and
charming bits of sentiment, and mug
gets Of thought from the book Mem
cries which George P. Upton has so
excellent y translated from the German ::
Childhood has its secrets and myste-
ries, but who can tell or explain them !
We have all roamed through this ST.
tent wonder world-we have all once
opened our eyes in blissful astonish-
ment, as the beautiful reality of life
overhowed our souls. We knew not
where, or who, we were-the whole
world was ours and we were the whole
worlds. That was an infinite life
without beginning and without end,
without rest and without fame. In
the heart it was as clear as the spring
heavens fresh as the violets Perfume
hushed and holy as sabbath morning.
Memory shakes itself like the span
iel just come out Of the waves, while
the water runs in its eyes and he looks
very strangely.
This repose and exhaustion they
call meditation, but it is rather an in
spection-one allows time for the mix
ture of thoughts to crystalize them
selves according to eternal laws, and
regards the process like an observing
chemist and the elements having as
sumed form, we often wonder that
they, as we'll as ourselves. are so en-
tirely different from what we expected.
When we return again after long
absence to our birthplace, the soul
floats unconsciously in sea Of memo
ries, and the dancing waves dreamily
toss thmselves upon the shores of time
long passed.

Bless God For Rain.

"Bless God for rain !'' the good man said,
And wiped away grateful tear;
That we may have our daily bread,
He drops shower upon us here,
Our Father thou who dwel'st in Heaven,
We thank shee for the pearly shower!
The blessed present thou has given
10 man, and beast. and bird, and flower.
The dusty earth, with lips apart,
Looked up where ro lied an orb of flame
AS though prayer came from it's heart
For rain to come; and 10 it came!
The Indian corn with silken plume,
And tiny pitchers with flowers filled,
Send up their praise of sweet perfume
For precious drops the clouos distilled.
The modest grass is fresh and green:
The brooklet swells its song again;
Methlnks an angels wing is seen
IN every cloud that brings US rain,
There is rainbow in the sky,
Upon the arch where tempests trod
God wrote 1T ere the world was dry
1t is the autograph of God.
Up where the heavy thunders rolled,
And clouds Of fire were swept along,
The sun rides In car of gold,
And soaring larks dissolve in song,
The rills that gush from mountains rude,
Flow Crickling to the verdant base
Just like the tears of gratitude
That often stain good mans face,
Great e ing of Peace, deign now to bless;
The windows Of the sky unbar;
Shower down the rain of Righteousness,
AND wash away the stain of War;
And let the radiant bow Of Love
In beauty mark the moral sky,
Like that fair sign unroiIed above.
But not like it to fade and die
