Wares valley Monthly.

| We have received the first number Of
Wares Valley Monthly, Journal o.
Western Thought and Life" published
| in st. Louis, and edited by VIM. NJ
Deftwich. We have read this periodi,
| cal with great pleasure; first, because
the great West and South are in need OF
a first-class monthly; and secondly, be-
cause its editor is our personal friend,
and a native of Maury county. 1t is
printed neatly, on good type, and has
sixteen leading articles on the
following subjects: Summer Resorts in
the West; Where shall we spend the
Summer; Capt. James B. Eads and the
Jetties; Naticanism; The COmanches;
Beecher and Tiltou; Mennonites; Just
Twenty Years, Rock of Ages, Colorado,
Great Grandmamm8, Sweet Springs,
After and Over, Public Corruption,
Privilege, Editorial. These articles are
well written, and give the magazine q
good send-off. Below we give an ex-
tract from the article on Beecher and Til
ton as a sample:
at conclusive evidence of the decline
of public morals had been wanting, the
notorious Brooklyn scandal has furnish
ed it al 7LuuSGcunl. 1t matters little
that the verdict of the jury sitting on
the case should be this way or that, the
whole scandalous business from the be-
ginning to the ending-if 1t ever ends
mas OOne more 10 u0mOrBllZ0 the p0O>
pie and debauch public taste and de-
cenCy than all the sinners and harlots
from Boston to California. This scan
dal derives it's influence from the char
acter and position of the parties, whose
names will go down to Tosterity associ-
ated with history of moral infamy I'M
paralleled in modern times. The peer
less fame of Henry Ward Beecher will
be eclipsed by the shadow of an appall-
ing crime, that will haunt his name
through all the generations, and deny
to it the oblivion into which a common
name would fall and be forgotten, Per-
sOnal friendship and social sympathy
may succeed in creating and keeping
alive for some years an extenuating
charity and a milk>and-cider conf
dence, but friends will die, and sympa>
thy will perish, and pOsterity will have
no fuel for enthusiasm, and the name of
the great Brooklyn preacher will burn
the brightest and the longest in the his
tory of the great Brooklyn scandal, and
not in its history alone, but in the ribald
songs, the vulgar sayings, indecent
caricatures, the bsr-rOOm jests, the ul-
chase poetry and the immoral roman
ces to which it will give rise. Fume is
nothing, talent is nothing, genius is
nothing, power is nothing, when char
acter is gone"

DIR. Pride, ofCulleoka, tells of two old
men who lived neighbors in East Ten
nessee; one good strict old Presbyteri-
an preacher, Rev. Mr.. McCampbell,
and the other a horse>racer. They lived
neighbors for many years, on good
terms. The preachers sons all turned
out badly, and the hOrse-racer's sons
all grew up to be steady men, and Chris
tians. In their old days the good old
it was, who replied: "My boys became
disguised with my ways, and your boys
became disguised with your ways"

bike. Mr.. May berry is greatly exasperated
at the outrage, and thinks nc will be- able to
ferret out the perpetrators of the act. Sucl

In reviewing the laws passed by the last
Legislature, we find much TO commend
The law compelling the faithful obScrvauc,
of contacts, for making crops, the law In
rt ference TO and defining lawful fences, the
law making trespaSSing stock liable for
the damages which they may pcrpctrutp,
aud the dog law too, if it can br properly
enforced, will each and all, prove a great
benefit to the farming community, and
show that Mcssrs. Boyd, Glenn and loon,
ali of whom supported these measures, had
an eye To the interest OF the farmers, aud
are worthy of the confidence, and in re-
mCmbrancc of these aud other good laws,
will ever receive the support OF the pre-
class.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Rev. DIR. Wilkes, last Sunday, in his
prayer, prayed God to bless the temper
ance cause and all aids thereto. Joe
WoOdsiCie said, "Amen."
last Sunday DIR. Wilkes, in speaking
of the inspiration of Christians, the in
terfLHing Of Gods spirit with mems,
used a bee utiful illustration. He pic
tured q strong man, full Of Intellectual
power, the pride of bis home and friends,
but cursed with a consuming thirst foF
strong drink. He leaves his home in
the morning, ami the influence of his
lovely wife and beautiful daughter IL
upon him; he secretly resolves to alb
stain from his old associations that day,
He approaches the atmosphere OF the
saloon, and Immediately 3 strong cur
rent OF persuasion seems to sweep him
resistlessly in that direction. He makes
feeble resistance, hesitates at the door,
but In moment be is in, and under the
full influence of his old enemy. Next
day he comes down town, but Is accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, and
thus guarded and inspired, he passes the
saloon interrupted. The Doctor then
represented the Holy Spirit as walking
beside the Christian, and Inspiring him
no that he is not led into temptation and
ruin.
Rev. F. c. Wilkes, DID,, Of Culleoks,
preached in the Masonic Hall last Suns
uoJ iEOul NlhbbuoW 20 ~,
unto every one that hath shall be given,
and he shall have abundance: but from
him that hath not shall be taken away |
even that which he hath" He thought |
the word talent used in the context, |
meant gifts of mind or heart, the capac-
ity to love God, the want of God in the
soul. These were gifts which, unim-
proved, would be taken from men at
the coming of Christ. The presence of
good people would be q heaven in itself,
90 such as bad improved their talents
their capacity TO love God-moreo Of such
talent would be given. 1t was a fine
sermon, and contained many sublime
flights of elOquence. Atfour o'clock in
the afternoon, DIR. Wilkes preached in
South Columbia from LIST chapter of
John, 9Th verse. The occasion was the
anniversary of the dedication Of the
church, four years ago, by Rev. Isaac
Miner. At night, DIR. Wilkes preached
In the Masonic Hall from the 9th chap
ter and 10th verse of Daniel. 1t was a
fine sermon on the duty of Christians.
Rev. M. DubOse, OF Pulaski, preached

"A good story is told on one OF
our prominent citizens, whose little
Eve year-old girl attends the prima-

which runs thusly: The other
morning as the little girl was getting
ready to go to school, her mother
said TO her, ''Now Susie, you must
be q good little girl to-day, and
study hard and learn your lessons,
and when you come home from
school, papa will kiss you, for he
loves to kiss good little girls;"
whereupon, the little one, naively
looking up, remarked, "Well then,
mamma. our hired girl must be good,

kitchen, this morning, when you
were over to the neighbors."

1T msy not be generally known
to our citizens that Sunday School
is regularly heldsat the Presbyterian
Church, ON Sunday, but such is the
case, and has been for the last
eighteen years. The Sunday School
is under the able superintendence
of Mr.. /. w. Gates, and is in quite
= fourishing condition, though there
Is still room for more scholars, who
would be heartily welcomed. When
there are no morning services at the
church, Sunday School il held at
eleven o'clock, and in connection
with it, bible readings are had,
which make up, to some extent, the
lack Of preaching.

The Ice Thirty Feet Thick In sAs

Iron The Milwaukee News. March ssh. |
All along the west shore of the
lake there are apprehensions
of dangerous spring freshets,
and preparations are every.
where making to avert the con-
sequent calamity. The vessel own
ers in Racine, in connection with
the Common Council, have decided
to cut the ice in the river, so that it
will move out freely into the lake
when the breakup com, o. There

unless precautions are we'll taken

cago is making great exertions Is
clear the river from the thick ice
which cumbers it, and is making slow
progress. It would seem az If some.
thing ought to be at once done here
for a breakup cannot be far distant.
Our river is frozen to the depth of
three and one-half feet, and the har-
Dor mouth il almost solid iceberg.
Observations made in order to test
the feasibility of starting the Engle
mann hne of steamers, show that
5000 feet from the mouth of the har-
Dor, the ice is thirty feet thick;
though, of course, this great thick.
ness is caused by drift ice being
crowded under the surface ice.
The lake is frozen over about tw enty
miles out, and beyond that the wa
ter is covered with floating ice. 1t

thaw out and break up this huge
mass, and should u flood come, with
the river locked as it is, and the out
