HORSE THEvEs.-Quite hubbub was
raised in the east end of town last Sunday
night by the report that horse thieves were
abroad, and the citizens were corralled as
they went home from church, and drafted
into the vigilance committee. The stable
where the thieves were at work was sur
rounded, and with trembling knees and
shaky hands the boys made grand adj
vance all along the line, and captured a.
street walker, but let her patrons escape.
Judges, lawyers, editors, agents, ETC., took
part in the dress parade, and but for the
@hite pants of one member of the corps,
the attack would have been grand sue

sELF-CULTURE.

When our Creator in his goodness and
supreme greatness, created his grandest
and noblest work-man-after his own
image, endowed with the higher faculties,
he bestowed on each gifts differing great
ly, yet all leading to the one great and
noble purpose of life. These were given
to rs yet uncultured, like the sculptor we
must take up the rough marble lying be-
fore us, and chisel each independently,
his own ideal form and work. The chisel
and unhewn marble lie before US; strength
is given and we must act. Every faculty
will be required to lend its power, and our
work will represent, finally, either fail
ure or grand and noble success. The
true success and victory of life is the Gull
ture of all our talents-the harmonious
Development of all the faculties and sus-

melancholy, than that of wreck In life

Ghostlike are the shadows fitting DER
ell: as we stand in the shade or the sun
shine, as we are YEARLY acting our part
or ioyfully building ourlives, many ques-
tions arise demanding solution: questions
concerning our country's future and
thoughts Of our duties as individuals to
those around US. The great problem of
mans destiny, forces itself upon US with
ell its awfulness. As we listen to the
voices coming from the past,i we may
hear many answers mingling with the
sounds of victory proclaiming the joyful
answers. Then again come the tones Of
doubt and anxiety, many strains lasting

basis of the Christian revelation. Intel
lectual education cannot have complete
success if the culture of the heart is neg
lected. Patriotism, a correct education
and the Christian religion-these three
exalt nation. In order that the highest
results of their excellence shall be realiZ-
ed in the State, the foundation for their
influence must be laid in early life. The
status of our moral and political life is
directly tracable to the family. The germ
of this evil is found about the firesides of
America, and if reformation is ever eff
fected right there is where it must begin.
Woman Is queen of this realm, and no
where else and in no other way can the
woman of the nation organize an influence
and power that will tell so beneficiently
on society and the State. How utterly
repugnant then to all good taste and TO all
that Is womanly are these extreme ideas
of woman's rights and wrongs that are at
the present day advocated and urged up
on the attention of State and national pol
itical communities. Urged, too, as meas
ure of reform, when their only tendency
Is TO tumble our social fabric in ruins.
The real value of any refermatory move
ment may always be judged by the char
acter of those who advocate it. In this
instance, among women. are the spiritual
lists, free-lovers, and those who receive
little attention from men, and who from
this reason, more than from any other,
have suddenly awakened TO the conclu-
sion that man Is q tyrant, and that they
are his slaves. Among men Its advocates
are the visionary extremists, enthusiasts,
Lobbyists, men who work themselves into
an Irrational excitement over some ques-
ton, become mono-maniacs, and then de-
clare that there IL no solution but by the
ballot IN the hand of women.
Such men are always crying reform but
they were never known to proceed on
rational basis. The ultimate triumph of
the extreme views of woman's rights
would be the death blow. the everlasting
death OF the great hope that now animates
the hearts Of millions on this continent,
namely that our national life should be
pure and that We should become the pride
of the nations. The noble and true women
ef this land know this. They understand
that Il Is fer them In the homes Of Amer
