Recently, at social gathering, Bishop

Harris of the Methodist Episcopal Church
was invited to sing. He declined, but
told the following incident as illustrative
of his talent in that line During his
journey through Palestine, one evening
after he and Mr.. Spencer who occupied
the tent with him, had gone to bed, the
Bishop began humming a tune of the
olden time called New Durham. Mr..
Spencer joined in, and the two began
singing a verse of one of our familiar
hymns. Before the verse was finished
donkey outside of the tent brayed as on
ly donkey in the East can bray While
the hills of Judea were sending back the
echoes of this most extraordinary and
untimely performance of the donkey, the
Arab dragoman put his head inside the
tent and apologizing for his donkey said:
"Ha! you sing one tune he think he
know"

Two boys in Newark, N. j., saw q man
drowning in the Passaic river. They
stripped off their clothes, went to his

them for nude bathing. 1t is hoped that

Through The Door.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

The Angel opened the door
A little way,
And she vanished, as meltS star
Into the day.
And, for just seconds space,
Ere the bar he drew,
The plying Angel paused,
And We looked through.
What did we see within
All! who can tell?
What glory and glow of light
1neffable;
What peace in the very air;
What hush and calm,
Soothing each tired soul
Like healing balm
Was it a dream we dreamed
Or did we hear
The harping of silver harps,
Divinely clear?
Amurmur OF that "new song"
Which, soft and low
The happy angels sing
Sing as they go?
And, as in the legend old
The good monk heard,
AS he paced his cloister dim,
A heavenly bird,
And, rapt and lost in the joy
or the wOndrOuS song,
Listened a hundred years,
Nor deemed them long.
So chained in sense and limb
All blind with sun,
We stood and tasted the joy
OF our vanished one;
And we took no note of time,
Till soon or late
The gentle Angel sighed
And shut the gate.
The vision is closed and sealed,
We are come back
To the old, accustomed earth,
The Well-worn track
Back to the daily toll
The daily pain
But we never can be the same,
Never again.
We that have bathed in noon
All radiant white,
Shall we come back content
To sit in night?
Content with self and sin
The stain, the blot?
To have stood so near the gate
And enter not?
Oh! glimpse so swift, so sweet,
So soon Withdrawn
Stay with us; light our duskS
Till day shall dawn;
Until the shadows flee
And to our view
Again the gate unbars
And we pass through.

Secular Views of Spiritual Teaching.

Our Methodist brethren last week con-
sidered seriously how the spread Of per-
nicious and obscene literature for the
young was to be hindered, and the Epis-
eopalians lately, at a church congress,
took up the same question. We are glad
to see the churches going about some di-
rect practical work for the young. The
two bodies differed as to the cure, how
ever, for the remedy proposed by some Of
the most eminent churchmen was o sub
stitution Of vigorous but clean, pure fic-
ton for Gentleman Joe" and Boot
black Jim," and other similar dime in
vtations to perdition; while our Metho-
dist friends propose to do away with
story telling altogether, even by the
Sunday school teacher. They forget appa-
rently, our Sayior's mode of instruction.
The truth is that virtue is not naturally
repulsive to children nor vice attractive,
unless they are made SO by their teachers.
If boy would rather read the history Of
boot black full of slang, absurdity and
crime, rather than listen to his Sunday
school teacher, it is the fault of the
teacher. If he made the story of Christ
as real and alive as is the story of the
boot black, the boy would listen as eager
ly. The boy is hungry for the active
romance life with which the world before
him is full. He must go into the world.
Why should not Christian teachers let
him see it as it Is, fit their great truths 10
the incident, the action which will come
to him, instead Of doling out abstract
doctrine2
If any of our readers think we censure
without reason, let them examine the
international Lessons prepared by learn
ed divines, and in use in almost every
Sunday school in the country. They are,
as a rule, grounded on the history and
teachings of the Old Testament, which
are enforced by abstruse discussion, and
fantastic acrostical arrangement of vir-
tues and vices. 1t is Jesus who ought to
be made real to the generation who are
growing up, not the construction of the
second temple. Teach them the simple
story of Christ, His charity and His hero
ic self sacrifice, and after that, if there is
time, give them obscure dissertations on
Jewish history and religious refuses

Writing for the Press.

Punchs advice to those about to marry
is, DON'T" To ninety-n nine out of every
hundred would be contributors to the
press, Dr. Matthews gives this same Ia
comic answer. This sparkling writer en-
bodies some Of his own experience as
connected not only with the University
of tnat city, but with its newspaper en-
terprises, under the taking title of II ours
with Men and Books" As professor Of
rhetoric, he is supposed to know how to
express thought with felicity and with
vigor As a man of some journalistic ex-
perience he is fitted to give advice. No
body knows, he says, how clamorous and
constant are the appeals from male and
female contributors, daily received at a
newspaper Office. They climbed up the
dingy stairs to the editorial den, with
their poetry and prose, and coax and i'm
plore the manager to buy or at least print
their pieces" Having given the mex
orable NO" he adds few words of ad-
vice. We quote the substance:
l. Consider well whether you have the
peculiar qualifications for a newspaper
writer. As Carlyle says of needle women
in England, There are botches in abund-
ance, but few or no seamstresses," so of
writers for the press. Though one may
have skill as an author, or even maga-
zine writer, he may fail in writing for the
newspaper. A newspaper is "a map of
busy life,' so its contents must be such
as will catch attention. Thought must
be packed into a small compass. AS Vir-
gil says of farms, Admire long articles
cultivate short ones"
2. Be sure that you have something to
say, and say it. Waste no time on intro
ductions. Plunge into the heart of your
subject Strike the key note, if possible,
in the first sentence. A spicy beginning,
that whets the appetite, commends an
article to editor and reader. Be crisp
and brief Give results, not processes. =
Don't serve with the pear, both oyster
and she'll
3. Put your points clearly and sharply.
Let every word leap with life. Condense,
condense, condense. Some explain things
to death
f. Above all, stop when you are done.
Don't let the ghost of your thought wan
der about after the death of the body
Be suggestive rather than exhaustive
might have said, exhausting. Leave off
the beginning, the conclusion, and make
the middle as short as possible Careful
ly correct your article as to spelling and
punctuation. Write plainly on one side
of small sheets. Put fire in your writing,
or your writings will be put into the fire.

Al the last session of our legislative as
semblv it was seen fit to change the form
of acknowledgement of deed and other le-
gal papers. This action was unnecessary
and served no good purpose. 1t involved
the throwing away of all blanks and print
ing new ones, and was practically q job in
tavor of the Press and Dakotaian. We
hope our uext assembly will perpetrate no
such folly.-Kermaion Republican.
We had never before looked upon the
change in the form of deeds as a benefit to
US and must thank the Republican for its
unique discovery. The change in form
rendered it necessary for US to throw away
q large number of old deed blanks and the
change in most of the new code compelled
a like sacrifice of ready mace stock on
hand. But we have found no fault with
this and it had not before occurred to us
that the legislature was aiming a blow al
the industries of the land in the sweeping
changes made. The new legal forms are
looked upon as the best the territorial
laws ever produced; and recognizing that
fact the Press and Dakotaisn publishers
have made it q part Of their business 10
supply the trade with a full line of legal
blanks fashioned to suit the new laws. We
have now in stock over one hundred and
fifty of these improved forms, to which we
invite the attention of the legal fraternity.
Send for a printed price list.

Milwaukee and Prairie do Chen division
or whatever the division may be- This
may be an improvement, in being more gen.
eral in application. This railway company
has been doing SO much lately in opening
up new branches that many wonder where
all the money comes from. The answer TO
this is that there is still plenty of idle mon.
ey In Europe, and Alexander Mitchell
knows how to induce its investment. They
have more confidence in Europe in railroad
investments in the United States, than any,
where else for the reason that money has
been lost BY the millions in East India.
Africa, and elsewhere; and they are selling
out in those colonies to invest in the United
States. This accounts for the success Of the
financiers;of the St. Paul road IN. some
instances, many branches have killed
good trunk roads, but in. this state, where
the country is growing and where there is
so much wheat land, in all the wheat
growing western states and territories. 4

must prosper therefore, there is no more
risk about making railroads in such places.
than there is in laying out a farm, and the
farms and railroads grow up simultaneously
with immigration. Railroads sometimes
kill themselves by exorbitant charges, but
the st. Paul company got = lesson from the

careful. In 1864 it cost as much to get 100
