were more highly priced by the Romans
than any other flower. They considered
them emblematic OF joy. The white rose is
typical of innocence and purity and, in art,
St. Cecilia is always associated with this

in Omaha, October 25th, concluded its ses-
sion on the 31st ult. No detailed report, as
vet having been published, we give the
following outline of the proceedings, as sent
to the Associated Press:
GA committee of three was appointed to
collect and issue in pamphlet form all the
most practical means based upon experience
for the destruction of grasshoppers. The
following resolutions were adopted: That
it will be wise and polite for the Legisla-
lures of the States and Territories most
deeply interested to enact law Offering a
bounty per bushel for the collection and de-
struction of eggs and untiedged insects;
that the several Legislatures authorize local
taxation for the proposed systematized eff
forts in the way of ditching, burning, ETC.,
also to suggest the repeal of the game laws
or modification OF them so as to prevent
the destruction of birds which feed on in
sects; the prevention Of prairie fires until a
suitable time for the destruction OF young
grasshoppers by firing the grass; encour-
agement of tree culture for the harboring of
birds; recommending that as far as possible
survey be made of each State during the
coming winter to ascertain those portions in
each countp in which eggs are most thickly
laid; further, that they deem it the duty of
the National Government to make some eff
fort to destroy or counteract the great pest
and thus prevent its injuries recommend
the attachment Of a special commissioner to
one Of the government surveys sent annual
ly to the West, and that $4,000 be appro-
prlated for the purpose of paying the ex-
penses of the commission.
The President of the Convention was re-
quested to draw up and present to the Pres
ldent Of the United States letter setting
forth the urgent necessity of the action OF
the General Government in behalf Of the
sections rayaged.
The Governors of Minnesota, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Colora-
20, wyoming, Dakota, and Idaho, were re-
qaested to transmit to the respective delega-
ions record OF the proceedings ofthe con-
Ventlon and request them to urge on Con-
gfess speedy action on this most important
matter.

THE YEARS LESSON.

IHE 1EA6'6 LESSON.
1t is not what the mass of farmers have
suffered, by the experience of the past year,
but what has each man learned? We wish
to bring this question home to every one.
The season is about closed and it's results
are known. But in summing up the past,
and in laying plans for the future, it is not
safe to determine the future by any one
years profits or losses on any particular
article. Draw conclusions from the aggre-
gate results of several years. If for ten, fif-
teen or twenty years, ruinous policy has
been pursued, it will not detract from any
ones character for stability or perseverance
to take a new departure. Life's hard lesson
would not 60 unheeded. If "a series of years
of close and laborious application has only
tended to failure, wisdom would teach us to
mend our mistakes. But the mishaps or
failures of the past year, or any given year,
are not enough to disturb life's purpose.
AS general rule the man who wins, is he
who determines '' to fight it out on that
line" Yet this uualterable tenacity is not
always the dictate of wisdom, prudence and
experience.
Carefully then study the sad lesson of the
past season, in connection with the series OF
years preceding it, and then mark out the
purpose of the future. Neither blind de-
termination to pursue certain system, nor
q Yacillating course, are the teachings OF
wisdom But the succession of years, cul-
mi fatality ha hoe fai,
ly taught Iowa farmers lesson, the effects
of which will be more lasting than any
newspaper article. Read the lesson care
fully. From the past decade, take glance
into the future, and decide the consequences
to result from the practices Of the past, il
continued. Are there not new or better
plans-better systems of husbandry-more
profitable observation-disclosures certain guar
antces tor relnunerative returns for the farm
er's toll? Farming has been and will con
tinue to be profitable, if managed with ripe
| judgment. But it takes more brains for
success than in any other branch of indus
| try, science or art.-Ioa1a Register.
A WRITER, in the Rural Home, speaking
of the benefit which birds render the farmer
says:
"While at work near a wheat field my at.
| tention was called to the fact that some o
the wheat had been picked from the heads
in certain parts of the field. AS my neigh.
Dor seemed to think that the mischief was
done by yellow birds, l procured gun and

though interrupted while taking his break

grains of wheat, and by actual count 35t

cumbers or melons, and you will have NJ

structise to these plants. The plants can b.

GOSPEL MEETINGS,

Last Sunday an important series of religious
meetings was begun in this city by Mr. Henry
Moorehouse, the celebrated English Evangelist
and Bible Reader. The services of Sunday were
held in the Congregational Church at 3 p NJ. and
p NJ. Both services were OF a remarkably
interesting character In the evening the house
was crowded to its utmost capacity, the door
ways being filled with people standing. A deep
impression was made upon the audience Many
requests for prayers were put forward, christians
for their friends, parents for their children, Sun
day school teachers for their classes, and unSav-
ed persons for themselves. Mr.. MOorehOuSe is
A man of remarkable power. His extraordinary
ability to move men evidently resides largely in
his spirituality as well as the fertility of his in
telIect. He is gOdly man. His simple faith in
the Almighty is the biding of his power. Few
men of the present day possess his insight into
the spiritual import of the Scriptures No one
who foves the Bible, no one who desires to I'M
derStand the Bible, should fail to hear his after
noon Bible readings.
The week day services of the present week are
being held in the Methodist Church, at 21a T. M.
and III L. M. Next Sunday and 1.-THE week fol-
lowing they will be in the Congregational Church.
On Sunday the hours will be and z T. NJ. On
week days except Saturday, 2h and 71s T. M.
The faith of Gods people has been greatly
quickened during the past two weeks, and the
tokens are abundant in their union and hearty
activity that KenOSha is to witness revival OF
religious feeling and work of divine grace that
shall bear valuable fruit in the hearts and lives
of men.

AMTrsEMENTs.

The young people of st. Matthews church, gave
very creditable entertainment at Kiraball Hall
last Monday eve. The bill consisted at tie fairy
drama Cinderella, rendered by the"Little folks,
followed by the ccmedietta. The Little Treasure,
in which Misses Balm, Bacot and Bond Ghe Little
Treasure,'O and Messrs. Campbell, Basevi,
Go.tf.edson and Simmons sustained the principal
characters, with equal credit to themselves and
pleasure to The audience. Of the acting we have
little to say except to praise, the errors, were
those common to all amateurs, while the merits
were all their own, and if hearty rounds OF
applause, and general manifestations of pleasure
by the audience are to be regarded any crjteria
of excellence, then it was excellent.
We would inquire however whether it is custom
airy for gentlemen always to appear hat in hand in
the drawing room, or for young ladies to take
long journeys in decolette dresses.

OF Diphtheria, at the houge Of her uncle Charles
Smith, Louisa Barbara Jameson, daughter OF
Mr.. Geo. Jameson of Millburn, ILL.,. on the
morning of the nth OF October, 1876, in the
eighth year Of her age.
The Good Shepherd is gathering the lambs Of
the flock, with their friends into his heavenly
fold. Eighteen months ago Mrs. Jameson OF
Millburn, daughter of VIM and Barbara Robert
son, was called to be- rest leaving her husband
and ave little children behind; her aged mother
exhausted by watching by the side Of her dying,
daughter, took chill in attending her funeral
and in one brief week was called to follow her
daughter to the home Of their covenant God.
Mrs. Jamieson's children found homes with sym
pathizing friends. The second daughter, Louisa,
bright child, found pleasant home in the fam
lily OF Chas. Smith Of Somers--and was under the
special care of his daughter, who devoted her.
self to the care OF the child with much interest
az If she had been her own little sister; and by
her kind care and christian instruction. we be-
lieve she became the means OF leading her young
mind to trust and love the Saviour and thus pre-
pairing her for the heavenly home TO which her
mother and gra nd-mother had so recently de.
parted.
On the evening Of the 9TH Louisa was taken
with that dreadful disease Diphtheria, which has
taken from parental care and love SO many dear
children. Everything was done for her which
affection and skill knew to do, bat the loving Sa-
viour saw best to take this young immortal away
to his own bright and blessed home-under his
own care. Blessed above all human conception
are those who die in the Lord, and we believe
Louisa died in the Lord because we think she
trusted and loved the blessed Savior.
| Her sickness was brief and painful but she was
very patient through it allher little face wearing
an unearthly smile, the reflection of the glorious
Savior who we believe hes taken her ransomed
spirit to his blessed home on high where we all
ahould prepare to live.
