TIE BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

I THIS organization is now in full WnrkingI
1order and as soon as possible VIII begin toI
scarry out the good purposes. for which It Wss|
zinaugurated. The objectssof the association
bare tWo-fold: First, to assist as FAR as It's
afunds will admit in the building up oil
denton; second, to aid members OF the asso-
Rcia ion to secure their own homes, the same|
! O be paid for on the monthly installmentI
gplan. The working Of the association, lnI
avery brief detail, is as follows: The capital
stock is $75, 600, divided into one hundred
land fifty shares of $500 each. No member
holds less than two shares or more than five.
1 For every share q member holds he is re-
Toured 10 pay into the treasury five dollars
each month and the association remains ln|
existence until the funds in the treasury and
Hlhe property of the association, over and
above ali Indebtedness, is equal to $500 for
each share of stock. The money paid in tor|
the first six months is to be invested in town
lots and buildings, a board Of nine directors
Ito determine what investments will be the
most iudicious. After six months, when
/ there is 81, 1000 or more in the treasury, the
Nsame is put up at auction, as 1t were, and
Bloaned to the member who will pay the high
lest premium for it, said member to give the
gaaSSOClatlOn gOOu auu suHiCleut scCullty lo'
4 the same, with interest at a rate fixed by the
Rdirectors. This loan, with interest, etc, is
arepaid to the association in monthly install
aments. All buildings erected by the associa-|
ation will be either sold or rented to the
amembers, the monthly installment plan
aworkiug through all such transactions. The
ampmaer who does not borrow out" bis
Rmoney receives. when the association winds
aup it's affairs, his $500 for each share held
land also a pro rata "f all surplus earnings OF
athe association. II jndicious investments are
amade it is not improbable that these earnings
Awill amount to Il considerable sum. THESE
are the underlying principles Of the corpora
stion. but of course we have not attempted tO|
sgive the details. 1t will be readily seen BY
athe reader that the objects proposed can
aeasily be attained under the workings Of such
an organization. The Board Of Directors
elected last Saturday evening are enterprising
business men aud under their management
we expect to see the first Building Associa-
Rtion Of Benton move right along successfully
If it proves as beneficial as is expected it will
mot be long until other associations of the
ssame character are organized.

4 liz he could read some Of the Territorial
papers just now, Macaulay's prophetic New
EZealander would be puzzled to know what
code of ethics governed the American people
Sin their dealings with the Indians. At one
time he would read that the Indian had no
fright to any more land than he could cultivate
aaaud that he must quit depending on the buff
HalO for his TODD and raiment. After the
Indian has been moved off the. New Zea-
Handler would read that he must not be al
flowed to come back, for the stock men
wanted all the country, although, apparently,
they had no better title than the Indian, and
leach stock man wanted much more land than
Inc could "cultivate." But then that famous
New Zealander will probably be a believer in
the doctrine of ''the survival of the fttest,"
land that whatever happens to be is all right.

When the New Zealander would under
stand that the Indian who ''comes back" is no
|~content to depend on the buffalo for his food
and raiment but insists on having a goodly
l~portion of the white mems calves and fat
steers when the quadruped Of the shaggy
|hide is scarce, the code would perhaps not be
$50 hard to understand. When the conduct of
the Indian is understood, the code of ethics
governing the stockmen in dealing with him
Hoses all its puzZling features.

How TO Enjoy Society.

There are some people in this world
who, wherever they may go, expect
that something special will be done for
their entertainment. At party or a
church social, for instance, they expect
TO sit down in a corner by themselves.
look agreeable or not, as the fancy
strikes them, and wait for some one to
come along and amuse them. II the
company present have other plans for
their evenings enjoyment, these people
90 home discontinued, and say with
disgusted expression that they have
"had such a stupid time - Now these
forlorn people never think that if every
one in a gathering followed their exam
pie, parties, picnlcs and sOcials would
lie transformed into Quaker meetings.
The rule holds good here which applies
to every other walk of life. To be hap
DIV ones self one must try to impart
happiness to others. The commonplace
little lady who talks about the weather
and the babies to one person after an-
other is happier, better beloved, and
often more finely cultured, than the
wise young woman who will only con-
descend to converse on a subject. Many
a delightful conversation and many a
delightful friendship have grown out
of commonplace on the weather. 1t is

A Kaffir Girl Teaching Honesty.

Recently a story was told of Ger
tain man belonging in Massachusetts,
who resides in Canada on account of
having misappropriated certain funds
intrusted to his care, to the effect that
having become converted he wished to
join church in his present abiding
place The minister, however, sug-
gested that he ought to prove the sin
cerity of his repentance by returning to
the United States and meeting the con-
sequences of his misdoings. As Il con-
trast to this story, the following is sug-
gestive of what Christianity can do
among the heather a katfir girl in
South Africa went to n missionary and
dropped four siXpences into his hand,
saying, THAT is your money" "GOu
don't owe me anything" replied the
teacher. II do she answered land

animation you promised sixpence to

er person wrote that specimen for me.

God Answers Prayer.

Many of the dear children of God
stagger because prayer is not at once
answered. And because weeks, months
and years prayer remains unanswered,
they cease to ask God, and thus lose
the blessing which had they perSevered
they would assuredIy have obtained.
In one instance my faith has been
tried. In November, 1874, began to
pray for the conversion of five individu-
ais. | prayed every day without one
single intermission, whether sick or III
health, on tho land or on the sea, and
whatever the pressure of my engage
ments might be. Eighteen months
elapsed before the first of the five were
converted. l thanked God and prayed
on for the others. Five years elapsed,
and then the second was converted. l
thanked God for the second, and pray
ed on for the other three. Day by day
| continued to pray for them, and six
years more passed before the third was
converted. l thanked God for the three
and went on praying for the other two.
These two remain uucOnveIted. The
man to whom God in the riches of His
grace has given tens OF thousands of
answers to prayer in the self-same
hour or day in which they were offered,
has been praying day by day for near
ly thirty six years for the conversion of
these two individuals, yet they remain
uncOnverted for next November it will
be thirtysix years since began to pray
for their conversion. But | hope in
God, pray on and look yet for the an
swer. Therefore, beloved brethren and
sisters, go on waiting upon God, go on
praying; only be sure you ask for
things which are according to the mind
of God, for He does not desire the death
of the sinner. This is the revelation
God has made of Himself-"Not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance" Go on,
therefore, praying; expect an answer,
look for it, and in the end you will
have to praise God for it. still look
for the conversion of these two individ-
uals.-George Mailer, Bristol, England
