by keeping the soil beneath charged
with moisture, forest regions tend to
make gradual and constant tho supply
of water to the rivers, and give uni
forinity to the flow; and hence, when
forests are cut away, the rains reach
speedily the streams, making them
liable to alternate periods Of wasteful
violence and worthless fceblcness. Tho
cutting away Of the forests has led, in
the French Alps, to uncomfortable
floods, dispoiled fields and an inpoy-
erished people; and, in America, to
annual seasons Of dry mill-ponds, an
immense sacrifice Of available water
power, and the dosertion Of many a
mill site,

At Atchison, Kansas, the women
crusaders visited saloon, and tried hy
praying to induce the proprietor Of the
saloon to close his place. The proprie-
tor invited the ladies' to seats, and
asked them to pray, and then himself
offered the following prayer:
Almighty Creator in heaven Thou
who hast made the heaven and earth,
and created man in Thine own image
as ruler of this earth. Whilst animals
were living on grass and water, Thou
didst teach Thy servant Noah to make
wine, and thou didst not punish him
for making incorporate use of it. At
the wedding of Cana Thine only Son,
Jesus Christ, transformed water into
wine, when the juice Of the grape was
exhauted, that the enjoyment of The
guests might not be disturbed. Tho
great reformer Martin Luther, said,
He who does not love wine, women
and song remains fool all his life
long. And all the great men upon
this earth have been drinking Of the
wines Thou hast given thy children
upon this earth. 0 Lord we pray
Thee, have pity upon these women
here who are not grateful for Thy
gifts, who want to make Thy children
like tho beasts of the field and compel
them to drink water like an OK, while
they dress extravagantly aud lead their
husband by other extravaganecs not
tending to our well being but to bank
ruptcy, depriving them Of all pleasures
of this world, yea, driving them even
10 suicide"
20 Lord have mercy upon the la
lies; look upon them; they wear not
,ven the color of the face which Thou
last given them, but they are SHINING
lgainst Thee, and not content with ma
ure paint their faces 0 Lord9 Thou
anst also perceive that their figure is
Iot as Thou hast made it; but they
wear humps upon their hacks like
amels; Thou seest, @ Lord that their
ead-dress consists of false hair, and
'hen they open their mouths Thou
eest their false teeth. @ Lord these
'omen who want mon who will pa
lently accept all this without using
be power Thou hast given to man
hat all women shall be subject to man.
hey will not bear the burdens Of mar
led life, and obey Thy command to
lultiply and replenish the earth that
loy are too lazy to raise their chill
ron and @ Lord Thou knowest the
lines they commit. o Lord have
ercy upon them and take them back
ito Thy bosom, take folly out of their
carts, give them common sense, that
icy may see their own foolishncss,
I'd grant that they may become good
I'd worthy citizens of our beloved city
Atehison."
go Lord ! We thank Thee for tho
essings beloved upon US, and ask
nee to deliver us from all evils, espe-
lily hypocritical women, and Thine
all be praise forever and ever,

houses to rent. AS 4 necessary consequence
real estate has advances largely, and is
