REPENTANCE without amendment is

SAY, hast thou ever sought
Gods help in vain,
Fen when His hand it was
That gave thee pain?
Ask thy poor trembling heart,
Trembling from conscience smart
If with this truth 'twould part
"He loveth me2
EVERY natural longing has its natural
satisfaction. If we thirst, God has
created liquids to crafty thirst. If we
are susceptible of attachment, there are
beings to crafty that love. If we thirst
for life and love eternal, it is likely that
there are an eternal life and an eternal
love to satisfy that craving.-F. ". Ros-

DON'T let us be afraid of enthusiasm.
There is more lack of heart than of
brain. The world is not starving for
need of education half as much as for
warm, earnest interest of soul for soul.

talked to about having too much zeal,

WORK is essential to the maintenance
of the Christian life. There can be no
growth in grace without work. The
effort to cultivate the Christian graces
by life of seclusion and introspection
has never been successful. As well
might one hope to grow strong by sit
ting down and feeling of his muscles,
as to expect to gain spiritual strength by
watching his spiritual pulse. Christian
perfection can only be attained by con-
slant activity in every good work. He
who does the will of God not only learns
the truth but acquires spiritual wealth.
And his attainments are in proportion
to his works of faith. Other things
being equal, that is, with equal capacity
and opportunity, the man will gain the
richest Heaven who does the most
work for it.-N. Y. Christian Aduocate.

notable gatherings that ever assembled
IN this country.

lightning played some very queer
freaks in Barron County, Monday
last. The house Of family named
Van Geldin was struck, the lightning
running down the stove-pipe, and up-
setting a table at which Mrs. Van
Geldin was sitting, but not injuring
her. Her husbands clothes was
stripped from his body, and his shirt
set on fire. His father aged 81, was
also denuded Of his clothing, and bad

out under the floor, burying itself in
the ground. Both men are now con-
fined to their beds.

The Influence of Dreams on Memory

The Influence Of Dreams on Memory
That our dream-experience may now
and again lead US to fall into illusory
recollection, has already been limited.
Aud it is easy to see why this is so.
When dreaming, we have a mental
&2RGEgnieo Nbp.h G!oselg auGcoE apattess:
dreams are as real as waking percep-
tions, and it is probable that young
children take their dream world for
real and substantial structure. Con
sequently, dreams may leave behind
them, for time, vivid images which
simulate the appearance Of real images
OF memory. Most of US, perhaps,
have felt this after effect of dreaming
on our waking thoughts. How hard
1T IS sometimes to shake off the I'M
preston left by vivid dream that
dead friend has returned to life! Dur
lng the day that follows the dream, we
have at intermittent moments some
thing like an assurance that we have
seen the departed one; and though we
Immediately correct the impression by
rejecting that We are recalling but a
dream, il tends to revive within US
with strange pertinancy.
In addition to this proximate effect
Of a dream in disturbing the normal
process of recollection, there is no
reason to suppose that dreams may
exert a more remote effect on our
memories. So widely different in it's
form is our dreaming from our waking
experience that our dreams are rarely
recalled as wholes with perfect dis
tinetness. They revive in US only as
disiointed fragments, and for brief
moments when some accidental resem-
blance in the present happens to stir
the latent trace they have left on our
minds, We get sudden flashes out
Of our dream-world, and the process is
800 rapid, 500 incomplete for us to
identify the region whence the fash
es come. It is highly probable that
our dreams are. to large extent,
ansTerable for the sense Of familiarity
that we sometimes experience in visit
ing new locality, or in seeing a new
face. Ii, as some of the best author
tiles say, we are, when asleep, always
dreaming more or less distinctly, and

Nearly all the leading railway lines
have for some weeks been Offering very
cheap rates to persons in the East who
wish to prospect the great homestead
tracts in the Far West, and as conse-
quence Nebraska and Dakota are fairly
swarming with visitors, despite the inclem-
ency of the weather. The Nebraska State
journal, of Lincoln, said last Saturday:
Seventeen coaches, supposed to contain,
at low estimate, l, 200 people, arrived
from the Far East yesterday afternoon,
and were soon scattered about our city.
The scenes enacted at our depot during
Wednesday and Thursdey, were re-enact-
ed yesterday. There was the same jam
at the eating house, the same clamoring
for the baggage master, and the same
questions asked and answered as on the
days before. The grand rush continues
from day to day, and how much longer
it will last we are unable to say; but our
hotel keepers and citizens are becoming
accustomed to it, and manage, in some
way, how, we know not, to make it
pleasant and agreeable for our visitors.

The production of the passion Play"
which is announced by Henry E. Abbey
to take place at Booths Theater, New
York, December 8, Immediately follow
ing the engagement of Mile. Bernhardt,
is the subject of much discussion in reli-
gious circles in New York city. Rev.
Drs. Henry G. Potter, John Hall, Thomas
Armitage, j. P. Newman, FL. w. Bellows
Edward McGlynn, and Rev. Robert
Collyer, are all strongly opposed to the
plan, and representing, as they do, the
sentiment in the Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Baptist Methodist, Catholic and Unitari-
an churches, it seems plain that if the
purpose to present the play is carried out,
it viii beia the face of strong public
sentiment.

In Lincoln county, New, there is a
spring of ice-cold water that bubbles up
over a rock and disappears on the other
side, and no one mas been able to find
where the water goes. At another point
in the same county is a large spring,
about twenty feet square, that is appar-
emily only some eighteen inches deep,
with a sandy bottom. The sand can be
plainly seen, but on looking closer it is
perceived that this sand is in perpetual
state of unrest, and no bottom has ever
been found 1t is said that a teamster,
on reaching this spring one day, deceived
by its apparent shallowness, concluded
to soak one of his wagon wheels to cure
the looseness of it's tire. He took it off and
rolled it into the, as he thought, shallow
water He never laid his eyes on that
wagon wheel again.

THE COLORED EXODUS IN A NEW
PHRASE.

New YORK, November 16.-A company
has been formed by parties who are in
terested in the exodus of negroes from the
South, and it is proposed to conduct their
movements hereafter as nearly on busi-
ness principles as possible. They have,
it is said, purchased several hundred
thousand acres of land in New Mexico,
and more will be acquired as it is needed.
On this the negroes will be settled, and
payments made as they are enabled to
compensate the present holders. The
managers say that the emigrants from
the South will be treated just rs any
others from foreign countries.

BURNING OF THE MINNESOTA
HOSPITAL

ST. PETER, Mimi, November 15.--The
dreadful news that the main hospital for
the insane was on fire was communicated
by telephone about half past o'clock
this evening. Everybody was appalled,
at the prospect of over 500 patients being
turned out of doors such terrible night
as this, but as disagreeable as was the
prospect of going more than mile across
the bleak prairie and facing the cutting
wind, our people responded promptly
Many made the trip on foot but a large
number of wagons, sleighs and buggies
were soon on the road. In the course of
an hour the sky in the direction of the
hospital was lighted up. Dense volumes
of smoke rose over the scene, and were
carried by the gale over the river. We
knew then that the probabilities were
strong that the whole of the costly struct-
ure, costing $500, 900, would be destroyed.
Upon arriving at the scene of the con-
fagration the sight was grand. The
whole of the northern part of the vast
structure, with it's hundreds of windows,
was one great flame. The fire originated
in the northwest corner of the basement
of the north wing. No fire is in that part
of the building, and so far as is now
known the origin of the fire is profound
mystery.
The fremen kept up steady work, and
retreated as the fire advanced, but when
the flames reached the main building
they got their hose up in the third-story
window, and so persistently played upon
the flames and flooded the floors below as
to hold it in check, and finally prevented
it from entering the center of the build
ing, and thus the rest of the structure
was saved The north wing was occu-
pied wholly by males and the south wing
by females.
The substantial walls of the burnt parts
are all standing, and are in good condi-
ton. Fully two-thirds of the structure
is saved, and the walls of the burned
parts may not be ruined-possibly not be
greatly damaged.
The loss cannot we'll be estimated, but
should say it would amount to from
100000 to S150,000. There is no in
surance.
The officers and attendants of the Hos
pital, upon the first discovery of the fire,
extended the hose through that part of
the building Every effort was made,
but, although the flames were somewhat
checked, they could not be stopped. As
soon as it was found that the fire was
likely to prove serious, DIR. Bartlett, Sup
erintendent, gave orders to have all the
patients released; but before the fire was
discovered one or two of the halls had be-
come choked with smoke, and it was i'm.
possible to release all the patients. Nc
one knows how many perished. 1t will
be difficult to tell for some days, perhaps
because some of the patients, taking ad
vantage of the confusion, probably ran
away, while others wandered off aimless
ly, and it will not be surprising if some
have perished from the cold.
The most of them were taken to the
large barn, the granary, and root cellar
and fortunately their was time to carry
out most of the bedding, blankets, cloth
ing etc. The Court House and large pub
lie school building were opened, and mer
and teams were busy for hours bringing
| them down

The defeat of Judge David S. Terry as
one Of the Democratic candidates for
Presidential Electors in California, re
calls chapter of bloody political history.
In 1859 Daniel G. Boderick, a native of
New York, but one of the ''forty-niners,"
was Douglas Democratic Senator from
California. He had taken his seat in
1857, and from the first had identified
himself with those opposed to the exten-
ton of slavery. He soon became alien
ated from his party and to such an ex-
tent finally as to arouse its bitter animos-
ity. David S. Terry was at this time one
of the prominent Southern fre-eaters
who had emigrated to California. He
took it upon himself to vindicate his
faction by challenging Broderick to mortal
combat. The challenge was accepted,
and Broderick was killed. The affair
created intense excitement in the North,
and the recent vote, twenty-one years
after, shows that there are at least 800
Democrats in that State ready to pay
tribute to Broderick's memory in defeat
ing his assassin, although he may have
been but political instrument.

land as security Of the line. When the
line has been worked for period deem

The New York T n es devotes more

The New York T II es devotes more
than a page to the approaching elections
of United State Senators in several States.
The conclusion it arrives at is that Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska and Della
ware will re-elect their present Senators;
that Ohio will probably elect Foster in
Thurman's place, Indiana Harrison in
McDonald's place, Connecticut Hawley
in Eaton's place, New Jersey Robson in
Randolph's place, while Tennessee is very
doubtful, Maynard being the Republican
candidate for Bailey's place. Not a
word is said about the successor of Ker-
nan in New York, which is perhaps the
most interesting question of all.

AMERICAN BUTTER AND CHEESE
IN ENGLAND

The Americans are now undertaking
to send us any quantity of butter and
cheese-the latter of all the special quail
ties, English and Continental. AS for
American butter, there has been such a
scare about butterine and the manifold
products of the Chicago abattoirs, and
the arrivals in this country have been SO
jealousy watched by public analysis,
that good butter for breakfast-table is
still almost invariably home produc-
ton. IF people really do not know what
butter is, they are still imposed upon; as
they are, too, if they save in the price of
butter to spend the saving over and over
again in strong drink The Americans
admit that competition with our butter is
very uphill work AS for cheese, they
can make any quantity of it, very cheap
and tolerably good. But though they
appear to be of opinion that they have
successfully initiated every variety known
in the English market, English people
are not of that opinion, and what is more
they can always distinguish between
American cheese and English. Even
when they try the best quality, they are
said soon to tire of it. If it be so, it must
tell on the importation, unless the great
majority of our countrymen have no pal
ates. The explanation given is the very
wholesale manner of American cheese
making and buttermaking.-London

Victoria, the bandit of the Mexican
frontier. who was recently killed, was an
Indian by birth. When quite young a
rich Texan planter, observing the boy
extraordinary talent, sent him to Europe
to be educated. When he returned to
Mexico he had the manners of gentle
man, spoke German, French and Eng
lish fuently, and understood military tao
tics perfectly, but his fancy having been
captivated by stories of Spanish, Greek
and Italian bandits, he decided to lead
life of adventure-and this led to his
depredations, which only ended with his
life.

'Dr. William B. Jones, editor of The
Lake Providence La. Republican, was
foully assassinated, on the night of the Sd
of this month, without, so far isis known,
word, cause or provocation, except that
he was the editor of Republican paper.
His surviving co-editor, in noticing the
murderous deed which deprived him Of
his respected associate, speaks of him in
appreciative terms, as follows:
CDR. Jones was an eminent physician,
an accomplished orator, an amiable. kind
hearted man, and true friend. His un-
timely death should be mourned by all
classes of right-minded and well-disposed
citizens, without regard to party or poll
tical bias. Only two hours before his
tragic death he pleaded with and begged
us to depart from this parish and cross
the river into Mississippi, because be be-
leved that we would be killed in silni-
lar manner before the dawning of the fol
lowing morning. His death and the
manner of it is to be deeply deplored by
this community for the harmful effects
which such crimes always entail upon
any Christian and civilized country. In
the interest OF the public good we forbear
further comment at present, and must
content ourselves by awaiting judicial
investigation of the sad affair--if, indeed,
such is to be had"
Lake Providence, which seems to be a
misnomer, is doubtless one OF those locall'
ties whose people are extremely jealous
of their reserved rights and want to be
"let alone,' but it is sad commentary
upon our boasted freedom that assassina
ton for opinions sake can be perpetrated
without the intervention of judicial in
vestigation being certain to follow.-Nad
